The property is managed by a local family and offers a relaxed, home-like atmosphere. Guests can choose from standard rooms or bungalows with garden views and balconies. The outdoor pool is a highlight, set amid colourful gardens with sun loungers and a terrace.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central yet quiet — Tucked off Jl. Monkey Forest, the inn is an 8-minute walk from Folk Pool & Gardens and close to shops, restaurants, and the main shopping street, all while staying peaceful.
  • Beautiful gardens and pool — The outdoor pool is kept impeccably clean, surrounded by colourful gardens and a sun terrace. Guests often praise the serene pool area and the easy spots to relax.
  • Friendly, family-run service — The family that manages the inn is consistently described as kind, helpful, and resourceful—going out of their way to arrange tours and assist guests without being pushy.
  • Good value for money — Rooms are spacious and clean, with the top-tier bungalows described as 'absolutely fabulous' at a still very cheap price. The inn offers an adults-only, non-smoking haven.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Basic room amenities — Some rooms lack TV and have iffy Wi-Fi, and showers are described as 'wet' (no separate enclosure). Rooms are spacious but furnished simply.
  • No on-site restaurant — There is no reception or dining area; breakfast is brought to your porch upon request. Guests seeking a full-service hotel experience may need to adjust expectations.
  • Adults-only policy — The inn does not accommodate children, which is a consideration for families. This is a deliberate restriction, so it's not suitable for those travelling with kids.

“Hard to put a finger on it, but the atmosphere really stood out.”

8.1Verified guest

“It feels more like staying in a family's little house than a hotel—no reception or restaurant. In the morning they ask if you'd like breakfast brought to you. Very nice and charming. I'd definitely come back.”

8.1Verified guest

“You get a sense of living in a small village on the edge of rice fields and forest. Hard to judge value for money—wet showers, no TV, spotty Wi-Fi. Rooms are spacious but basic. Staff were great and did a good job cleaning. Breakfast on the porch was a nice touch.”

8.1Verified guest

“Run by a very kind family. Service was excellent, helpful and resourceful. They arranged tours to Lovina and the volcano for us. Location is perfect—right around the corner from our favourite restaurant Ibu Rai, the main shopping street, and Monkey Forest Road.”

8.1Verified guest

“Beautiful gardens, comfortable bungalow, and excellent water pressure.”

8.1Verified guest

“Rooms are nicely designed, and the two most expensive ones are absolutely fabulous—like ornate Chinese temples. There's a nice pond with lots of breeding amphibians in December. Very relaxed, no one constantly pushing tours or taxis. Staff leave you alone unless you ask.”
