Lodgings in Padangan

I came to Sanda from Lovina, crossing winding mountain roads in the rain. Despite reading many reviews before booking, and being inspired by one in particular to stay for three nights, I still felt a bit uncertain during the journey. But the moment I arrived, those worries faded. Here, I felt once again the purest form of human trust. Even without speaking the same language, deep connection was possible—through a gesture, a glance, a shared smile. The atmosphere is incredibly calming, and the food gave me real energy, not just physically but emotionally. To be honest, I find it hard to put this experience fully into words. Sanda feels different from anywhere else in Bali. This is not a place for passive tourism—it gently asks something of you too. If you're looking for a space to be still, to read, to think, to meditate, or to unplug from social media and constant feedback, this is a rare and beautiful choice. I spent three days here reading and reflecting, allowing my life to pause. My conversations with Harry gave me a deeper understanding of plants—their fruits, their rhythms, their stories. December is durian season, and I know I will return. Time spent here feels like a gift. I hope you give yourself one too.

Peace and Calm We are looking for a weekend break, peaceful cabin in central Bali, We were worries after check the latest review. but We decided to stay at these property, its perfect. Sanjaya, the staff are friendly, room are new and spacious, We have a great sleep, meals are pre order and we have breakfast in Our Balcony which the have dining table, and enjoy meals with open view to Jungle. Recommended for recharge and disconnect.

I spent one of the most memorable nights ever at this place. You are surrounded by a beautiful, quiet and serene garden, coffee plants, and jungle, with natural sounds, stars in the clear skies, and the scent of flowers, herbs, and trees. The surroundings make you feel at peace and full of joy. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful rooms in an impeccable garden in a jungly, mountainous part of Bali, one of the least touristy areas we’ve seen. They can take you for a walk through rice fields, and they have a small nature walk set up. You can also go for walks along the road, though there is no sidewalk. Really, there’s nothing negative to say – the place is beautiful. Be aware – if you’re there in rainy season, there really isn’t any food available within walking distance except at the hotel itself. That’s fine – they make wonderful food – but if you were hoping for variety, you won’t be able to get to anything else on foot.

I forgot to buy food to bring with me. Going to the supermarket first would have been sensible.

Wonderful staff, great views, and very good food.

Beautiful surroundings in the middle of a jungle, amazing staff and the food was out of this world. Very healthy and fresh choices.

Our stay at Ranggon D’tukad was an absolute highlight of our several weeks in Bali thus far! The villa is private and along a beautiful rice field and river/stream. The warung they run has incredible (and affordable) traditional balinese food. Ketut is, and has been, deeply involved in the local community and is an amazing resource to learning the area. Rest and respite are truly found here in this incredibly serene stay!

Its AMAZING! You wake up in heaven

The staff made us feel welcome right from the start with smiles and warmth. They went above and beyond to satisfy every need and request, even helping us on their days off and decorating my room for my birthday with beautiful decorations and a birthday cake! Reni and her team felt like family during our stay and we got to know everyone so well that we didn’t want to leave. The afternoon tea was so pleasant, the cooking class was also amazing and the view was truly unforgettable!

If you're looking for peace and tranquillity, this is THE place. Had the most relaxing weekend I've had in years. The owner Norman was very warm and welcoming, as well as the staff. This will be my goto place in Bali anytime I need to chill and relax.

I liked that the staff went out of their way to help you and want to make it feel like your second home. I went on a solo tour with a scooter driver organised by the hostel to several waterfalls and had a great time. Hostel was clean and well maintained. Free water re-fills. They let me use their kitchen to cook meals.

The property was so peaceful and well cared for!

This is in the most beautiful location I've ever seen in Bali. I first went to Bali in 1978 when there was only one hotel. This reminded me of that time. The real Bali. Beautiful beautiful forest and mountain views. I was really in need of a rest and it was perfect. I had 3 massages in the week I was there. Food was great but the special sauce was the gorgeous staff Ayu, Tiara and Devi as well as the driver Komang. Friendly and always helpful. I miss them I received a complimentary upgrade. The cottages are HUGE with beautiful, authentic Balinese sculptured doorways and furniture.

Remote, quiet , primitive jungle environment

I spent a short silent retreat here and I have to say the cabin is magical. True connection with nature and the perfect place to be separated from everyone and everything. Highly recommended!

such a lovely place! Great money for value, 4-star hotel facilities (coffee/tea, water bottles, tooth brushes?!) for this price really unbeatable!! It was very clean, communication with host was perfect. The bath tub was such a nice accessory, loved the spacious terrace with view to the forest. We would sit there for hours and talk while enjoying the peaceful environment. Very lovely and sweet host. The cabins are located behind the owners house and it gives such an authentic experience. Definitely coming back!

Bali de Pardis was exceptional. The location is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by stunning rice fields that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our cabin was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The food was delicious, and one of the highlights was having it served on the private porch of our cabin while enjoying the breathtaking views of the rice fields. I also highly recommend booking a massage—it was absolutely magical and one of the best I've ever had. Overall, an unforgettable stay, and I would happily return.

Everything was absolutely beautiful. The view, the facilities, the room. It’s gorgeous. The staff is super friendly, specially Nova, who helps you with anything you need.
