Pondok Apsari

Magnificent cabins in the rice fields, the accommodation is simple but perfect for those who love nature and a change of scenery. On the other hand, the host is a little intrusive, he appears out of nowhere and at any time to sell you a service, whether you are taking a nap or taking a swim in the pool (a little murky but we were not not allowed to spin it outside of swimming!).The services offered are nice but the prices are somewhat excessive compared to the rest of Bali (50th the excursion 1 hour from the village).However, I recommend this place because it is really magnificent but always ask the prices in Ajik!

Had the best time staying in Pondok Apsari. Ajik the host, is amazing and soo friendly. He helped us with so many things, and was extremely kind to our kids. The breakfast was perfect.Would recommend the place to anyone looking for more authentic Bali.If you come the village offers a few places to eat, a small market to get sweets and cold drinks. Our favourite places were Nia's in town and Monks which is up the mountain. Both of them require sweat to reach and return 😂😘

This hotel is in the waterfall and it's so peacfull i love it here

Disclaimer: We rented the inn with the 2 bedrooms. The inn has another ensuite room, and this review is for the 2 bedrooms one. The below review is a combination of facts and personal opinion of my own experience. You may have a different opinion and I respect that as well. I love Sambangan and this the review is intended for the inn's further improvement. Hope the message can be well delivered.Location (4-5 stars): The inn is located close with a popular waterfall sites. It's amongst the rice terrace, hence, nice view from the dining and common area as wellService (5 stars): The inn's keeper (Pak Aji & Wife) service is very good and timely. Thank you very much, Pak Aji & Wife!Rooms (1 star):1. Bedroom: I stayed at the upper room (because my friend needs to stay at the 1st floor room due to some circumstances). The access to the upper room is only a narrow steep steps with no handrail at all on the first half way. The bedroom is not my favourite because:a) it's quite dangerous esp. at nights when guest need to go toilet at midnightsb) It's hard to bring the luggage upstairs given the accessc) Ok I can just bring what I need upstairs, but even without bringing stuff, it's just hard to climb and not friendly for those esp with knees issues / for the elderlyd) Many flying insects coming at night to the upper room hence I feel a bit too alarmed to sleep peacefully. there is mosquito nets surounding the bed, but after using that, it becomes stuffy. Understand that because it's located in nature, but perhaps can we have an insect trap for the room / some modification of the ventilation system?2. Bathroom: The bathroom access is only a curtain (not a locked door), hence, feeling a bit unsafe especially for me (a female) to bathe. (again, you can have a different risk appetite but this is just what I think)3. Main entrance (after the gate): Although there is a gate and it's a private inn, there is no front door to the inn building. (i.e. after passing the gate, we can just enter the building without any further lock needed). I just feel it's unsafe given that I need to keep my luggage at 1st floor, (because of the stair issue - See No 1 above).Therefore, the overall rating per the above aspects are 3.3 - 3.6 starsNote: Dear owner, apologies for the late elaboration, I was waiting to be in front of computer for easier typing. Thanks!

Nice pleace, nice to relaxing our mind,,

This is the most authentic, unusual and interesting accommodation we have stayed in. We spent 4 days in this beautiful place. We planned to walk a lot, because... There are many waterfalls and trekking routes in the surrounding area, and in the end we spent most of the time on the territory. The absence of walls and fences is a little shocking at first: you hear all the sounds as if they were in the house. But when you relax, you get used to it - it’s complete unity with nature. At the same time, there is everything for the usual European lifestyle. In general, I recommend it to everyone!!!

A fantastic stay where you can relax, beautiful surroundings and plenty to admire in the area! …
