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..

If you want to be in the center, this is the place to be. The main entrance opens on the street leading to the dolphin statue, the beach is literally a one minute walk away, and you can find many restaurants and every service you may need nearby (including grocery, ATMs, money changers, travel agencies, etc.). The decor is nice, the breakfast was very good, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable.

Being in the center, it may be not a surprise, that the place is noisy; even in a room the farthest from the street we could hear the music until 4 am (most likely coming from nearby Funky Place). Also, our room was a little bit run-down, its in the need of refurbishment. I have to admit though, that it gave me a sense of living in an old balinese home, which was a plus for me.

Great location near restaurants bars and beach. Friendly welcoming staff and good size room. Deluxe villa is so very quaint with a nice terrace to sit with the beautiful entry doors and facade of building. Restaurant is great, good food good drinks and live music at night. They have really outdone themselves with the lighting in the restaurant and hotel it looks magical at night. Pool is so cool and refreshing. Just a beautiful little hotel would highly recommend.

No refrigerator in room

I wondered about the name, but the Binaria Museum Hotel is indeed like a museum, with beautiful traditional Balinese decor and authentic artifacts on display. The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful! The room was not only beautiful, but also nice and clean, the bed comfortable, the shower hot, and the air conditioning cold. The rooms sit well back off the street, so despite being in the heart of Lovina, it was very quiet and peaceful. We especially enjoyed their beautiful pool area. The included breakfast was delicious and we also enjoyed a dinner there listening to live music, an unexpected treat!

I can’t think of a single negative thing to say about this hotel!

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

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!

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

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.

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.
