We stayed in Pondok for two nights and three days. It was a very pleasant experience. The place is not a top of the line hotel, but given the price it is more than what you pay for. The best part is that they ensure a complimentary ride to and fro to main street Sanur(the reason why Sanur is a good destination as its packed with restaurants and shops). The staff is extremely pleasant and courteous and even helped us with a breakfast meal though we had missed it by a large margin.

as a first timer to Bali I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I can see why this place has so many repeat visitors. if you are after a small, quiet, peaceful hotel with very friendly staff that will help out in any way possible then this is the place. and because it only has 5 rooms you get to know the other guests (especially around the round breakfast table). it's a good 10 minute walk to the beach or main street of Sanur but the hotel car is there to transfer you around the Sanur area as well. I'm glad I found it & would definitely stay there again.

Pondok is just one of those special places that you are just so pleased to have booked. Everything was exceptional! From our initial contact with Barb, through to the pick up by Gede. Everything just ran like clockwork, and when we arrived without our luggage (thanks LHR),the staff and other guests could not have been more accommodating.

The hotel itself is a tranquil oasis, the grounds and pool are immaculate, you really can get away from it all. The breakfast is excellent and if you don't want to go into Sanur you can get something rustled up by the pool for lunch or dinner. The rooms are huge, with excellent aircon and western style bathrooms.

Pondok Ayu was really the highlight of our month in Bali, the staff were so attentive, and the overall quality was so good that we adapted our itinerary to return for a for second stay.

If you're planning a stay in the Sanur area, stay at Pondok Ayu....you wont regret it!

Our 4th stay at Pondok Ayu, and it was truly just like coming home.... From being picked up at the Airport and seeing Gede's famliar smiling face, to a welcome hug from all the girls next day - what a treat!
It's difficult to describe the feeling you get staying in this magical place....quiet, intimate and tranquil. The staff are there for you, nothing is a bother and all done with a beautiful smile. Lovely pool to cool off in, sun loungers to use, in-house massage available when it suits you, and if you don't want to dine out the lovely ladies at Pondok have a small menu available for Lunch or Dinner.
Ketut, the night driver, will take you into Sanur for dinner and collect you afterwards - a great service.
Thank you Made, Gede, Putu, Kadek & Wayan for again making our holiday perfect.

Room tip: Only 5 Rooms - the Suite is beautiful, but so are the others
