Water bottle available to fill your bottles which is nice.The pool is beautiful!The breakfast was good !The staff is very nice: they dropped us off at the Sanur port for free when we left.Accommodation a little out of the way (15 min walk from the center of Sanur) which requires crossing a busy road but this was not a real problem.

It was 8 nights and 9 days.There is room cleaning once every two days.Breakfast was also good, both western and local.If you want to do it the local way, you need to tell us the day before.The swimming pool water was clear and the surrounding landscaping was also pretty because the owner paid a lot of attention to it. The water quality was good and there was no chemical smell or taste.The room is spacious and extra beds are provided free of charge if requested in advance, so a total of 4 adults (2 ages 5 and 7 years old) slept very comfortably in one large bed and two extra beds.The first floor had kitchen facilities, a refrigerator, and tableware, so it was great for simple cooking.The air conditioner was cool and there was a stand fan and power strip so it was comfortable.Motorcycles can get to the entrance of the accommodation via Grab, but cars can't be reached for short distances.It's not bad because you only have to walk down the alley for 1 minute to get to the car.Airport pickup is free, but I couldn't use it since I came from Kuta, and airport delivery is provided by the owner or my younger brother for 200,000 rupiah.Grab's big car didn't seem to reach the alley in front of the lobby, so I took advantage of the boss's gift, and the car is just as big and cool as Grab's big car.There are 5 rooms, but there were no guests in the 1 large room, and the 3 rooms except ours seemed to be almost fully occupied. The bathroom was large, the water pressure in the shower was good, and I used a filter shower, but there wasn't much contamination considering I had used it for 9 days.There weren't many Koreans coming, there were Australian seniors and French friends. It would be nice to go with a few Korean families.I recommend it because it is very cost-effective compared to the room condition.

Comfortable rooms and cosy property tucked away in a corner of Sanur, Bali. Breakfast was tasty and we had all we needed in our room. Communication was easy and responses from the staff were prompt.If you have mobility challenges, note that you may have to walk to the road 200m away to access a cab as the lane leading to the hotel is quite narrow and some drivers choose not to enter.

Accommodation was one of the best we had for Bali and for an affordable price for a couple. We were picked up from the airport for free. The room had everything you needed, massive bedroom space, fully functional kitchen, big closet, lovely bathroom. It was VERY CLEAN. The only downfall is the location (but I still have 5 stars just because I do love this accommodation). We were very lucky to have booked our accommodation with them as they are usually fully booked and we booked last minute. Amazing. Thank you so much for having us!!!

It's a bit difficult to get to the beach and downtown Sanur, but it's easy to get there if you call Grab. I rode Grab.The location may be a slight disadvantage, but there are so many advantages that it can be covered. It's really the best. It makes me wonder if this is heaven. Everyone is very friendly, the rooms are clean, the garden is really pretty, and the nasi goreng you can choose for breakfast is delicious... I think it's the best place for those who want to relax because it's quiet. I stayed for 4 nights and it felt like it was too short. Next time I come to Bali, I want to come again.
