An authentic, old style Balinese hotel but much better than all the ugly concrete boxes being constructed in the South of the island.. The location is perfect in Lovina less than 100m’s from the beach and right in the centre for restaurants and shops, easy to walk to everything, even with two young children.. it’s very clean, great staff and a lovely pool area.. a lot of the rooms have been renovated to a high standard and are very comfortable.. A fantastic choice for central Lovina.. 😊

There is limited onsite parking but you can park 50m’s away in the Lovina beach car park, so not a problem..

We loved this place as soon as we set our eyes on it! Eccentric colourful design, spacious, clean. We rented 3 rooms between 5 of us. We were welcomed with a drink, a plate of fruits and every room had a bowl of extra fruit on the terrace table. We liked the layout, with a garden alongside the rooms with terraces, an area with a good size pool with sun loungers and a canopy shading most of the pool and a restaurant. The breakfast (buffet with fantastic choice of cooked food) was at the tables next to the pool and with museum artefacts on shelves around. Coffee, tea and water were freely available 24/7. The location could not have been better for access to the seafront, beach bars (a great place to watch sunsets from), shops and restaurants. Various services could be ordered via the hotel, including massage, tours/trips, laundry service, etc. We arranged a (swimming with) dolphins trip and some snorkelling - both highly enjoyable. Overall, we loved our stay in Binaria and Lovina, which has a good, laid back vibe.

Nothing!

Very unique and interesting hotel. Was a fun place to stay at. Great location for the beach and nice places to eat nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff and the food was great. This place had a really funky feel to it, of the likes weve not experienced before which we loved!. The pool area was a nice place to spend time also. Slightly basic accommodation and the bathroom in particular isn't glamorous - but for a unique place to stay in Bali it was fantastic value for money and a great experience.

Nothing to not like

Everything!!! It was absolutely amazing, it is the best, most authentic Balinese style accommodation in Lovina, don’t hesitate to book it, you will have a great time here! They brought me cold ice tea and big fruit plate as a welcome drink/food. Location is great, less than a minute walk to the the Dolphin statue. Binaria is authentic, has a spirit, it not just another accommodation. It gives you a piece of Bali culture and spirit inside its walls. It has standard and deluxe rooms as well if you prefer more European standard. I decided to stick with the standard room, and I loved every second of it. It was homey, breakfast was amazing, the bathroom was amazing with live plants and partially opened. Rooms are spacious, beautiful and also there is a balcony. Swimming pool is the best, has a mango tree above and also a cover from the sun, very comfy beds around. I would more recommend it to younger crowd, couples… it has a soul, don’t hesitate and read more reviews - book this hotel, you will experience wonderful vibe and magic of Bali inside of this hotel! Staff is amazing, they are very serviceable especially Ingges, Tari, Komang. I had many requests and with a smile they made them all come true. They give you space, but if you need them, they are there. AC works well and is quiet, shower works great and also they have the most amazing shower gel/shampoo smelling like Jepun/Frangipani flower. Massage was excellent, in the Delux area, in the open air, not in a cold closed room with AC. I booked for one night and because of this hotel cozy vibe and Ingges the receptionist being so helpful, I prolonged and stayed for a week. You can book yoga and meditation- taxi is included to another resort from the same group of hotels. I warmly recommend. The restaurant is great, they serve from wooden dishes. Beautiful.

Little things that I hope they would improve: machine for cold water - there is only water refill on room temperature. A fan in the reception desk, because every time when I needed to arrange something at the reception, do the payment, book yoga or meditation, ask about something, both me and the receptionist would be wet from the sweat.

This place is just great and we felt so warmly welcomed! When you arrive, you feel like you are really at a heart of Balinese culture with the decorations and how the area is built - we enjoyed this so much! This place is beautiful, it has a seating area for guests, a swimming pool, small garden in between rooms and a restaurant attached to it. The beach is 1-2 min walk away. The staff was very friendly and always smiling, they even prepared us a take away breakfast (at 6:30 am!!) for our morning trip to see the dolphins. The rooms were clean and had everything needed. I especially loved the outside bathroom area, so cool! Each room has a patio with chairs and we even got some welcome fruits in the bowl on the table next to each room. Also the welcome dirnk and fruits were a lovely gesture. There is also a "museum" room with different objects from Bali, so many things to see and observe here. The restaurant attached has some great food, one of the best we tasted on the trip, also with vegetarian options (I loved the curry and my friends really enjoyed Mahi mahi). The portions were also big and really filling. In the evening, we even had a Balinese dancer come in and perform (she is a young student, please support her with tips if you can). Overall, such a great experience, wish we could stay loinger!

Nothing

Simple and clean hotel. The swimming pool is good. The breakfast is good. There is also a restaurant and the food is nice, every evening they have a Balinese dance, nice to see. The location is perfect. Lovina is not a lot to see, and the hotel is located in the most crowded street. Close to the beach, restaurants, cafes and shops. But in the room was still, did not have problems with the crowded in the street.

They have outside bathroom. There was a stone that we can stand to take shower, but it's small. It's a bit difficult to take shower.

Very close to Lovina Beach. The interior decoration is nice. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

There is no free parking at the hotel. We had to park at the nearby beach. It was ok, but the hotel info did include parking. This needs to be updated. The water pump makes non-stopping noise, so if you stay at No.8 room, you might find it is annoying. The bathroom setting is not very disability-friendly at Room#14.

Moved here in order to work and it was great. I had a little garden room with my own entrance. On arrival I was brought a welcome drink and a fruit snack which was a nice touch. The wifi was really good and I could do all my zoom calls etc with ease - digital nomad recommend! It was nice to have my own space to come in and out of - the room was a decent size with large bed and own bathroom. Everything was clean and staff were super friendly and helpful. I was only there one night but the location was excellent and in the midst of everything and lots of lovely nightlife. The included breakfast was delicious and a nice start to the day. Would recommend!

nothing to put here. Was great if you want something a little more pricy with some quirk!

Location and ambience is perfect, cleanliness and close to the beach.

The restaurant and facilities closed soon where we couldn't get towels . When we checked in , we mentioned we were in a rush to go out for the boat which was waiting,, though they got off the welcome drink , which we couldn't have it and it all got wasted. Breakfast buffet is average. Bathroom water pressure is really low which was little irritating to take shower.

Very quirky, traditional and great location. I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff provided the best service and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. The pool area was private and secluded. The ambience would appeal to those looking for something a bit different, very traditional, in Bali.

There are improvements that could be made but, given the value for money, I was happy to accept no fridge, no TV, no coffee station, etc., in room. It did not detract from my experience at all.
