We had booked elsewhere for 7 nights but were forced to leave after 2 nights as it was totally misrepresented. Luckily we found MandalaDesa and it became our safe haven and an absolute delight to come to. We felt very much looked after by the hosts and the excellent staff. They introduced us to Tude the driver who took great care of us. We have to especially thank all the staff as they were all so kind and helpful. We also ended up having all our meals in-house and they were very well prepared and tasty and my wife's dietary were fully met. Thank you. Another thing to note is that MandalaDesa is in a very authentic Bali style complex and right in Sukawati next door to rice paddies. Very interesting to view the fields being prepared for planting. Sukawati turned out to be very nice to discover, lots of interesting houses, shops, temples and locals who, without fail, were friendly and helpful. Thank you all at MandalaDesa you SAVED our Bali Holiday.

We loved everything! The accommodation, grounds, staff, food, everything. Such a beautiful peaceful space. We spent 4 nights wth our two daughters aged 4 & 6 and they had a great time swimming, walking the grounds and feeding the horses, feeding the fish, eating dinner outside and just relaxing in the room. It is very close to Bali Zoo and a quick grab to the butterfly park in Sukawati, the staff even drove us to the zoo. The Indonesian food and home made bread were highlights. Highly recommend and we would stay again! Oh yes and the VIEW, even from the outdoor shower is beautiful.

Couldn’t fault it, especially for the price!

Mandala Desa felt like paradise home for our family. A warm THANK YOU to Jan & Irmi and their friendly staff! It is so peaceful and beautiful at every corner: kids loved feeding the horses, little fish in the pond next to our villa, trampoline, table tennis, swimming pool with rice fields view, delicious breakfast and good options for food when we came back after a long exciting day. I can go on as it was truly one of the most charming and peaceful places. Location was superb too: kids attractions (safari, zoo, bird's and reptile parks), waterfalls nearby, surfing and diving reachable (we did 2 dives from Sanur - totally recommend), bike trips through rice fields. Thank You, Jan, Irmi and the family! We hope to be back!

Nothing, it was a paradise and felt like home away from home!

Such a place of beauty and relaxation! The villa was very comfortable and private and had stunning views of the rice fields, palm trees and volcanos in the distance. The pool was amazing and enjoyed by our kids in both sun and rain. Every breakfast was AMAZING - the Nasi Goreng, the pancakes, the omelet, home made bread, fruit and juice, excellent coffee. We ordered in lunch and dinner too and they were delicious. The short walk nearby was great for views and local life seeing cows and chickens. We visited both the Bali reptile park and Bali bird park which are nearby and we would highly recommend. But probably the overall highlight was the brilliant staff - Kobo, Koman and others who were so lovely, as was the owner Jan, as well as the drivers who they organised. Just a stunning stay, we would love to come back one day.

Nothing! Even on a very wet day we enjoyed ping pong, scrabble, watching a film on our laptop in the cosy room, and rainy pool swims 🙂

The attentive staff and owners really made this an outstanding stay. We started our trip in Bali at Mandala Desa and it was hard for any other stay to compare after this! There's so much special about this stay that it's hard to put it into words. The food was so good and Mandala Desa staff were super understanding of gluten free and were able to adapt almost everything on their menu. The local people were welcoming and had amazing stories. We wanted to thank all the staff for making our stay incredible. We certainly hope to be back in the future!

Great place to get away from crowds. We really enjoyed everything about this property. The Owner and staff were friendly, kind and caring. We Stayed in Villa 1. The room was very comfortable and cleaned, big bathroom 😍. The foods was excellent., The massage Spa also was wonderful. Unfortunately my husband just stayed one night, he must be jealous 😂 Thank you so much for Bung El and Bu Made that always reminded me to order my lunch and dinner and went out of their way to make sure all I need. Wish I can stay more at this Amazing Villa. It is the Best Villa I have been to by far around Sanur. Would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend it.🫶🏽🥰

Our villa had been cleaned impeccably. It was spacious for our foursome. No issues with mosquitoes as the villa was sealed up fairly well. Aircon was nice and reliable. Actually, we had very little issue with bugs in the unit at all, a rarity for our time in Bali. The breakfast was excellent. 4 options offered and all well executed. My personal favorite: Omelette. You'll love the homemade bread. The staff was very attentive and on point with any issue that arose. The property is beautiful with horses and pet birds for the family to enjoy visiting. Bikes we could use to sightsee and get around! The owners Irmi and Jan (who live on the property) were so warm and made sure we had everything we needed.

It's clear many guests don't use the bikes so they were in need of maintenance. Nothing the hotel can control but Bali is still contending with reducing trash in its waterways. Something felt only when I was off the property grounds.

We had the most wonderful few days at Mandal Desa - the staff was very friendly and helpful, there were there at any time we needed them, villa itself was spacious and clean, children thoroughly enjoyed the pool, lovely breakfast and complimentary treats. We certainly enjoyed our time there and hoping to be back one day.

The village itself is quite ordinary, we really enjoy walking and exploring on foot, however, Mandala Desa is quite isolated and there is nothing to see in the village. However, it is the only con of the whole stay.

Found this place completely by accident and I wish we had more time to spend there. Everything was perfect. Even though location is further from bigger cities, there were still lots of activities around. It was really quiet and relaxing. The view of rice fields and mountains from the pool and villa was spectacular. Delicious homemade food. We stayed with toddler, they even served breakfast for him. Bed was comfortable, AC and Wifi worked fine. Staff was superb. Good communication with all team.

Nothing.

Boutique hotel with 4 rooms and 2 villsa, we were 2 adults and our 2 kids (3&5) and rented Villa 2. We took Grab to the location from the airport. The Villa had was very nice overlooking fields and some trees, birds and butterflies flying about. Horses and a pony in their lower paddock and the kids took a pony ride. Nice garden and you can walk a short distance on paths nearby in the area, which I did with whichever kid woek first in the morning. Very close to the Zoo and close ish to waterfalls, bird park and the Bali Safari. Kids enjoyed the stick insect, a frog, caterpillars and snails outside. Pool was nice for a cool down swim after day activities. Breakfast included was decent and also a reasonable choice of other foods for order later in the day. Complimentary afternoon tea was a nice touch. Decetnt staff and owners also nice people. We stayed 5 nights and very much enjoyed it.

Nothing really
