Everything was really great. The staff were attentive, kind and helpful. The layout of the hotel is wonderful. The surroundings are picturesque and peaceful. It was quiet, private and absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the rice fields and the rich history was a delightful start to the day. The room we had was amazing, with an outdoor bathroom and an indoor toilet, a large room with an amazing intricate wooden roof. Tile floors and a day bed, with an outdoor area, there was definitely a comfortable amount of space for my children and I.

There wasn't much that I didn't like. The menu at the restaurant is limited but good, it's the only place close by to eat unless you go into town, which is an okay walk if you take an umbrella on a hot day, or walk when it's overcast. Be careful along the main road, but otherwise it's a lovely walk along the rice fields up until the main road. Theres no grab in the area yet so keep that in mind, yet Donny the manager, helped me to the local Clandys when I needed to get a charger port.

We loved swimming in the pool, overlooking the rice fields! Generally quite a tranquil place to stay and somewhere a bit different from the tourist spots. Our rooms had an outdoor shower which was very nice! Hotel restaurant was really nice and the staff were delightful.

Unfortunately the first night we were there there was a very loud gala night, that we were not forewarned about. However it did stop at 8.30pm thankfully. Be aware there's no TV in the rooms (despite saying they're included on booking.com). Also the location is really far away - which is great for peace and quiet but does mean that some planning is needed if you don't want to eat at the hotel.

Wow. That should summarize our stay at Puri Taman Sari Resort. Beautiful suranding in and outside of the resort. Very comfortable rooms and even outside shower which added to the spa feeling. Delicious breakfast served on the veranda overlooking rice feelds and the grounds of the resort. Infinity pool with an amazing view. And the staff so friendly and attractive to all our needs. I guess we should not prise the resort publicly and keep this to ourselves but this gem is too wonderful to be kept a secret. Special thanks to Donny for welcoming us to the Puri Taman Sari Resort. We will be back.

We were super fortunate to have the whole of the lower grounds to ourselves. The pool was refreshing, the views stunning, with beautiful ceremonial grounds at the end of the path. The sounds of frogs and other wildlife was a bonus at night time. And the staff always smiley and friendly, and willing to help! We would definitely return to stay here. The location is in a traditional Balinese village, and away from the crowds that are overtaking the peace in the south.

We were disappointed with the lack of vegetarian options at the restaurant. And we were charged the same price for meals without the meat and egg which was disappointing. However the staff did try their best to make meals satisfying for us, and for that we are grateful. I was also sad to see cows tied up all day every day at the top of our bungalow grounds, even though I know this is life for them in Bali.. It still upset me to see it.

Simply exceptional! It’s a very pity that the photos can’t show the actual atmosphere… We were incredibly surprised about the place. Amazing pool surrounded by an amazing garden. A lot of employees and all incredibly kind. Room and restaurant were fantastic!

We liked everything!

The special thing about Puri Taman Sari is how closely it is part of village life: Dinner at the nearby Mengwi Night markets with the locals; cycling through hidden rice fields and villages with a local, Wayan, who, when my husband came off his bike into a water channel alongside a rice field whilst taking a selfie, treated his cut traditionally with banana tree bark; being invited to Wayan’s family compound, home to 9 relatives’ families; Hearing the village gamelan orchestra practising on evening and when we went to watch, being invited to join in….These sorts of experiences are not common on holiday in Bali…. On top of all this, the hotel is lovely- really tranquil with beautiful traditional buildings. Staff friendly and helpful, manager Donny happy and able to arrange anything.

The day beds on the veranda in front of our room were not comfy to sit on; the back was too low. Also some of the rooms are not in the main compound and it meant that some evenings we would have a crowd from a tour owalking past our room to one of the exits although there is another entrance next to the main office which they could be directed to. Small complaints as this is a wonderful spot

We enjoyed the experience of being in a traditional Balinese village and the resort was very quiet. A special thanks to Donny and Ayu for their hospitality. We arranged a massage at the resort which was lovely and you can walk around the surrounding village and rice fields easily. Given the facilities the resort is very well priced. We had the large pool in the picture to ourselves most days.

This is not a complaint as we enjoyed our deliberate stay away from the hustle, just be aware that this is not a place to come for nightlife, shopping or bars. There is one restaurant on site with a small selection of meals. For variety you could also head to the restaurant at the other nearby hotel, or you will need transport.

What a wonderful first few days in Bali at the Taman Puri Sari. Beautiful spot to rest and relax, very quiet, isolated, away from the noise and bustle of other spots in Bali. We had one of the suites down the river, to sit on our patio looking out over a tropical paradise was a joy followed by a cool swim in the pool. Lovely massage in the glass house, a walk in the paddy fields, good food, it was a lovely place to spend a few days. Staff are very friendly. If you want somewhere to relax, then this is the place to go. They do activities but we just spent our days reading, swimming and taking it easy. We will be back.

Not major things, just suggestions to make it even better. Would have been good if our room had a small fridge to keep drinks cool. And being in the middle of nowhere, it would be good if they had some snacks to buy, so during the day you could grab a bag of crisps or something like that. Next time we go, we'll stock up on snacks before we get there. These are not things we didn't like just suggestions to be helpful.

Absolutely amazing place that leaves an impression on you right away. I was here in early February (off the tourist season) and I must say that this place is perfect for calming down, ideal for practicing yoga, and generally just for relaxation. It's 100% something different than Canggu, Ubud, and other tourist centers (although I like those too :D:D:D). I think if someone wants to experience what Bali was like before (based on what locals say :D:D:D) - I definitely recommend going here. After all, I even rode a bike here, which is becoming increasingly rare in Bali! :D:D:D

The place and the rooms have a lot of charm, it is a serene and quiet place. The restaurant offers good Indonesian dishes. Perfect location, you feel like in a bubble.
