I have to say, this place was a pleasant surprise! We know Sanur well and pass through often. We booked based on reviews but were initially a bit apprehensive about the location, being on the bypass side of the beach. However, there’s a rear gate that leads to the back lanes, bringing you right into the heart of Sanur, near the Icon shopping center and some of our favorite restaurants and cafés. The complex is not what you might expect and the pictures do not justify how wonderful it is, but I always aim to write fair and honest reviews. The facilities are great, though a little dated—but this is Bali, and if you appreciate its culture and charm, you’ll love this place. The grounds are immaculate, well-maintained, and beautifully kept. The staff were lovely, and a big shout out to Pusaspa at reception for her wonderful assistance. We highly recommend this unique little resort in Sanur. It’s not overly busy, just peaceful and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back soon!

The detail of the room and bathroom

The sign name from the street its not easy to read or see and when i arrived around 8pm theres no staff around,i am a bit confuse wheres the reception and all the staff,because it was so quiet

Very friendly and supporting staff. Thanks to Yoost and his team. The gardens are very beautiful.

It’s incredibly beautiful. It’s like a fairies‘ land. The hotel room is ordinary and small. But the location is good, and the exterior is very beautiful, and the breakfast is delicious.

One lady (around 40 year old) staff is not friendly. I asked some questions to her, but she responded as if it were bothersome. And there are many mosquitoes; need to buy mosquito repellent.

I like how quiet the hotel is although it's so close in walking distance to main area, less than 10 min walk to shopping and eating area. Hotel itself is lovely and the on-site coffee shop is excellent! Staff was ultra kind and friendly. Front desk staff Yoost helped me with check-in and luggage storage and gave me instructions to going to main area in Sanur. Thank you very much.

There were lumps of dust on the wooden floor in the living room and on a rainy day, some water was dripping down from the bathroom ceiling. The other day water leakage under the sink but they sent people to fix it quickly.

We loved the style of the hotel. A lovely mixture of Balinese and Dutch Colonial. The gardens are lush and well kept with flowers, bonsai and statues around every corner. The best thing is the staff. They are attentive, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The decor of the suites is vintage and charming and the bed was comfortable.

The hotel is lovely. It's quiet, clean and well run however it's not well set up for older guests with mobility challenges. Low chairs on the verandah and steps into the shower may not be suitable either.

tempo doeloe means old times.it is the third time i stayed here.this time i stayed at the pink cottage again,just like the first time.those were the good old days.i remembered my old days in sanur.the management is new, but they still keep the old times atmosphere here.i stayed for three days, and really enjoy my stay. room decor nice, vintage design, and facilities complete, bathtub, shower, toiletries, TV, fridge, wardrobe…there is a swimming pool also, i swam in it once .breakfast is great, compared to last time.they improve it, food very delicious, and the portion is right. kudos to the new team. they provide both indonesian and western menu,i had bubur ayam, nasi goreng and eggs Benedict during the stay.love them, especially bubur ayam, very delicious. they have one restaurant and one cafe now. i had lunch at the restaurant once, ordered mie goreng jawa and spring rolls. mie goreng jawa is tasty, must try! staffs here all attentive and helpful. the location is ok though far from the beach, but not a big issue if you want a nice stay in sanur.then tempo doeloe is highly recommended! will be back again for sure.

Peaceful, lush green space. Unique individual villas to stay in. Super clean and best bathrooms I’ve encountered in Bali. Nice pool cabanas & space. Friendly /helpful staff who noticed my son preferred cantaloupe so they went and got that for his next day’s fruit plate. Tempo is located off main busy road but set back so you don’t notice. To get places you can walk out back door of property, through small neighborhood streets. Safe area. I chilled there for about 4 days with my tweenager who stayed in the room a lot and found it a quiet & pretty place to be. Also the AC was wonderful in the room which I appreciated.

I wished I had booked something closer to the action/beach/shops and other food options etc. Took me 3 tries to find beach walking; not a straight shot there and confusing to find way through the streets. I ended up hailing Grab bikes every time to get there and back to save me time and hassle. (Cars drop you at the front off the main road but bikes can take you to back entrance.) Restaurant is okay, some dishes were great but after multiple days I wanted more options.

The villa was beautiful and clean and very spacious! The bed was super comfortable and linen was crisp white! Large tv was great for relaxing at the end of the night with a movie! The pool was the perfect temp, it got used all the time and even for a night swim before bed!

The only thing I could pick out would be the glass doors to the villa rooms, made a loud noise when open and shut! Wouldn’t be enough to stop me going again though!

What a beautiful find, we had the suite room which was lovely and cool, traditional Balinese style with a sitting area outside, the room is 50sq metres which gives you lots of space and the bathroom is huge. There is no door on the bathroom to the sitting area which may be a problem for some but not for us. We ride a motorbike so it was easy for us to get to Hardys or the beach but we could have walked. The hotel is on the main road but the Hotel and rooms are set well away from the road and you can never hear any noise there is also a back entrance which is handy. The gardens and pool area are really lovely, so many little sculptures and pieces to stroll around and look at. Being a vegetarian they catered for me nicely at breakfast without any bother. The staff were amazing!
