Absolutely loved my stay at Pondok Agung, it's a little bit of paradise. Set back from the road, the gardens and pool are exceptionally beautiful and there are comfortable loungers and even a small library to spend your time. The room was huge with a comfortable sofa and bed. I also had my own tiny kitchen which was super helpful. The room was clean and the bathroom modern. It also had great shutters on all the windows which meant the room stayed dark into the morning. Staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The only quibble is with the location. While it is only a couple of minutes from the beach, the beach isn't super nice. It's where all the watersports boats are moored and not suitable for swimming or relaxing. It's also a bit away from the main restaurant area (about 15mins walk), though Grab is frequent and cheap.

The bungalows were built in traditional Balinese style. They had a spacious balcony overlooking the pool. They were very roomy with a high ceiling and plenty of storage, Bed was very comfortable. The staff were outstanding. My wife and I were more than satisfied with our accommodation. Definitely the best we stayed in out of the 4 different places we stayed. The grounds were immaculate. Breakfast was delicious.

The only downside was the location, situated at the "dead" end of Nusa Dua.

The host was very knowledgeable and set us up with an English speaking driver to take us to visit the superb hotspots of Bali. The pool was clean, loungers spotless and were even given extra towels to use!

The beach is just across the road, directly in front of the B&B, was congested with fishing boats, but it was only a very short taxi ride to find a nice part of the beach.

This is one of the cutest places ever! The couple we were traveling with stayed at the Conrad Hilton down the peninsula from us but honestly, they were jealous of our cute and quaint environment. So restful! So peaceful! Totally zen. My only thing I can say as a negative was the bed was not as soft as I like !!! But honestly for the price you can easily overlook. Wonderful value.

The bed? A bit softer.

The AC was really good. Staff friendly and helpful. WiFi was good. The breakfast was nice. The cost was very reasonable. Nice selection of books in the Library.

The pool is small, there are 7 sun beds and more guests than this. We stayed at 4 different homestays in Bali during our stay and this one had the most mosquitoes by far. It made breakfast and the pool difficult to relax (even with repellent on). The nearby beach is for water sports and not swimming but you can walk up to a nicer part but it is a bit more of a walk. It’s a quiet area of Nusa Dua, a bit of a walk to restaurants (15mins or so).

The place was rustic and traditional living space that gave us a great way to experience balinese way of living. Breakfast was great especially toast serves with homemade pineapple & strawberry jam. Nasi jinggo was very tasty as well. Room had all the required amenities inclusive of kitchen. There is a mart right outside of the place and multiple restaurants for lunch/ dinner nearby. It was my eldest son birthday on the second day of our stay. The staff were extremely helpful to help us source out a bakery to order a cake. The staff also helped to store the cake overnight and brought it in the morning during breakfast with whole staff team singing happy birthday & celebrating the occasion with us. We as family were extremely grateful for the team for making the birthday morning special for my son.

The water pressure was quite slow for the shower. If this could be improved will be great.

The facilities are excellent but travellers should do their homework on what they plan on doing in the area. It is convenient to watercraft activities and there is a reasonable beach within walking distance, in front of the Novotel. My 5 night stay was very pleasant. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The closest beaches are not good, with high buildup of weed and plastic pollution. They are crowded out by moored watercraft.

So many things to like!!! The staff are very helpful, attentive and friendly. (I felt VERY well looked after.) The gardens are beautiful and very well maintained, it’s a tranquil space. There is a choice of breakfasts, all very good and promptly brought to your table. (I also ate lunch and dinner at the accommodation as it was so convenient and reasonably priced. ) My room was kept spotless. Comfy bed, clean sheets and towels, also you’ll be given a lovely pool towel to use whilst there. In my room there was a kettle/cups/saucers, fridge, tv, a/c and a safe. Everything worked - no missing light bulbs, safe worked, mesh intact on bathroom window so the mosquitoes were kept out and the windows and doors fitted, which is often not the case in these wooden type rooms. I had a large terrace too overlooking the pool and surrounding beautiful greenery. I appreciated being able to get massages too in their private treatment room with a lovely and experienced masseuse called Made. (Much better than traipsing around the street spas and not knowing what quality of treatment you’ll be given. Same price as outside places too.) An extra mention for the wonderful Putu who went out of his way to make sure my stay was 5 star. With many thanks 🙏

It’s location is at the top end of Tanjung Benoa and the beach is more for water sports.

Very comfortable, pool, price, friendly. A little oasis of calm in a rather strange area. The area has many european class type hotels, expensive, guarded etc in the area of nusa dua. This is not one of those but is lovely and inexpensive. The difference is when either guest, of pondok agung or 5 Star hotel, step outside the walls, they sre both in the grotty, oh so grotty nusa dua. We chose to stay here as it is inexpensive yet beautiful in hotel, usually for 1 or 2 nights to relax before going to main holiday location.

The outside area of nusa dua. This hotel is an oasis in a n area of sheer filth. The hotel is lovely, clean, and friendly, shame outside its walls is rough.

Everything was great. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the balcony was well protected from elements so it was comfortable to sit outside in all conditions, eateries were close walking distance.

The only thing we can fault with the room we had, it had a bath shower, and it was a very big step to get out of. My partner is tall and commented about how nasty the step out was and I am shortish and have bad knees so I struggled a little. Just need to exercise caution and use the hand rail.
