We stayed for 10 nights and had an amazing time! Beautiful hidden away place, with very friendly staff - nothing is too much! The rooms are large and have everything you need, the pool and gardens are very well kept, clean and maintained. We travelled with our kids and they were made to feel very special and at home.
A very enjoyable holiday, we will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

In late August 2016, we had the great opportunity to visit Pondok Ayu in Sanur Bali - but this time with the extended family along - including the 4-grandchildren.
Yet again, Made, Putu, Kadek, Wayan, Katut and Gede greeted us warmly and looked after every need for the next 10-days.
It felt like returning to the "home of a good friend" and seeing those same smiling faces - just wonderful service and a warm smile throughout the day.
I can not recommend Pondok Ayu strongly enough for a great Bali break - and feel like I am breaking confidence to all those friends and family that have since visited!! - it may become very, very popular and restrict our being able to book for the future!?!?!- we are back in April 2017 to celebrate a 60th birthday in the family!!
It is great to see more people discovering this holiday gem - it will surpass your web-site-viewed expectations!! Sat hello around the pool, should we cross paths with Gede and team!!

Room tip: With 5-large rooms to select from, all the rooms are great!!

This was my second stay at Pondok Ayu and it is still a great place to stay. It's small, only 5 rooms, but everything is in tip top condition which is unusual given the climate. The rooms are large and comfortable with everything you need to make a really enjoyable holiday. The staff are just fantastic and could not have been more helpful. They are just brilliant and are probably the best hotel staff I have very come across anywhere in the world.

Room tip: Any room will be great but the suite does give more room and luxury; albeit a bit more expensive. The other 4 rooms are all excellent.

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.
