“We will be back”

The most friendly staff. The most amazing dinner. The most fantastic stay! Nothing was too much for our hostess. They arranged a birthday celebration on short notice that brought tears to our eyes. Loved every bit of our night there. Bonus is the Hot Spring is 500m away.

Jungle setting with a.touch of mystery, with warm spring water going directly to bathroom. Also a short walk to the holy hot springs. Ayu made sure I had everything I need and the restaurant dishes were delicious.

Ida Bagus and Ida Ayu and their staff/family are absolute gems, so sweet, welcoming and attentive, the food in their restaurant is delicious.. Peaceful location set in the jungle right next to Banjar Hotsprings in easy walking distance.

“Great stay in Lovina”

The homestay is located in a nice and quiet area, really close to the hot springs. Ayu and her family were always happy to help with anything and really welcoming. I recommend eating at the restaurant there and getting a massage to relax in nature. Amazing location for the price!

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from the Holy Hot Spring. Like living in the forest, feel close to the nature. It's very quiet, peaceful and relaxing here. I don't even want to go out and have all three meals at their restaurant. Hot spring water in the bathroom is a bonus! They also provide transportation. Ayu and Dewik are so nice and welcoming, makes me feel at home. I will definitely stay here again if I'm in Banjar.

The hotel is in the paradise, amazing nature, very close to Holly Hot Springs, the owners are very friendly, helpful, wonderful family. We'll definitely stay there again.

“Fairytale hideaway next to hot springs”

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinner were very nice. The surrounding park is really beautiful and makes you feel like you're in a fairytale. On site massage was very good. The hot springs are only a few minutes walk away and well worth a visit. Transport to our next destination was organised by the staff at short notice.

An absolutely incredible homestay. The rooms are surrounded by trees, plants, and streams of water. There is a bridge to cross to get to the homestay which makes the place seem even more magical. The homestay is also located right next to Banjar hot springs. The host (Ayu) and her family are so warm, welcoming, and lovely. Ayu let me rent a motorbike to get around and gave me mangoes from her own tree to take when I left. Ayu and family have a restaurant and serve great food too. I had an amazing time at Pondok Wisata Grya Sari. It's the perfect place to stay for an authentic Balinese experience and I intend to return here next time I'm in Bali.

“A very authentic, beautiful and friendly accommodation”

A super friendly, elegant and very patient landlady, who was extremely helpful with all our needs. The accommodation is quite simple, but precisely for that reason it has a very special charm. The food at the property was also very good.

“Good location, and attentive host family who served delicious food! It was a very relaxing stay.”

Wonderful and attentive host family, lovely food in the restaurant, and verdant location so close to the springs. I had a very relaxing stay, thankyou. I hope to return soon.

“I loved my stay here. Ayu and family were lovely and friendly hosts. I left feeling very uplifted, unlike the impersonal”

The property is in a beautiful Jungle location. Authentic and therefore with all of the flora and fauna you would expect to find in the Jungle. The rooms are comfortable, good size, bed suited me (with the addition of a mosquito net), and for the price I have zero complaints. Right next to Banjar Holy Water Hot Springs, which were great and affordable. But, the crowning glory, along with the location, is the warm hospitality and genuine care of Ayu and her lovely family. They made me feel like I was a special visitor to their home and for that alone it competes with the fancy 4/5 star hotels I occasionally stay in when travelling The food was fresh and nicely prepared and again service was exemplary. WiFi worked better than in many areas of the UK. If you want to experience the real thing when visiting Bali, this place is it. If you’re looking for all of the mod cons, then this is probably not the right location for you. Some of the negative reviews about Pondok are ludicrous. People complaining about Mosquitoes for instance. It’s the Jungle, the mighty Jungle after all. Xxx Simon

It was a very short stay but the hosts made me very welcome. It's a beautiful hotel, with lush green surroundings with Banjar Hot Springs nearby . In contrast to other locations in Bali, this stay felt less crowded and more relaxing and I would be happy to return for a longer stay.

“Restful”

Ayu and family were so welcoming, sweet and nice to talk to. Really pleasant to be received that way. Very good food also. Very peaceful place thanks a lot Ayu and family

It was the perfect location for the Air Panas hot springs, which we had come to visit, 200m or so, away, couldn't be closer. The surrounding forrest was sublime and the cabins very pretty....Ayu and her team were very flexible in upgrading our accommodation on our request and adding another night so we could explore further! Breakfast was good, plentiful coffee, with the restaurant open for lunch and dinner also...fresh home cooked food 👍 Comfy, clean, very reasonably priced, extra pillows and towels on request...and a brilliant, brought in masseur, Nyomen, for three wonderful healing Bali massages! All round we'd highly recommend Ayus beautiful homestay 🙏😁

The hotel is in a gorgeous location with a stream running through the garden. There was so much wildlife in the garden!

Location

“Nature at the Hot Spring.”

In the middle and on slope of hill with tropical environment. The hotel is older dates, with its charm and … Close by Banyar Holy Hot springs why we stay on this hotel. The couple managing are nice and friendly -

“Lovely People”

Nice place. Lovely people running it. Great food. Right next to the hot springs. I liked the old style buildings surrounded by lush vegetation. Nice little terrace outside the room

Honestly our best experience in Bali! Ayu is the nicest person, her place is relaxing, surrounded by nature, close to the hot spring, she can rent you motorbike (don't miss the Buddhist Temple and the morning market !)have really good conversation and stories to tell, know amazing people to do massages, can arrange transport, also she cook really good and know vegetarian food very well.. we were super sad to go and for sure I recommend it to anyone who enjoy this kind of adventure, with good people and quiet place. Thanks a lot Ayu, se will not forget your little paradise and never forget you !
