Great budget accommodation near the famous Keramas wave. Staff were super helpful and very friendly. We had an issue with one of the rooms but they promptly switched us over to a better one. Very happy. Breakfast was cheap, and quite delicious. We loved the peaceful location in the rice fields. It is so beautiful to see the ocean throughout the front driveway

The first room we were in was very old and the bathroom was mouldy. Bed was very uncomfortable and we could hear the neighbours easily. But the staff moved us over to the newer rooms near the rice fields and it was so much better! After this we had an amazing time and are very thankful for the staff.

We traveled to visit our son in Bali. He is a surfer. Though the immediate area is not a traditional Bali tourist area, we had an amazing time visiting Nirmala! We stayed in the three-bed guest house which was immaculate, spacious, and had an upstairs view of neighboring rice paddies, the ocean, and Pineida Island. A short walk down a dirt road to a world-renown surf break got us to the black sand beach which was good for walking, seeing sunrise and sunsets, and to access a couple local food spots in Keramas Komune Hotel surf club and (especially) Locas beachfront restaurant. Seeing the local duck farmer walk his flock to and from the river on the beach twice a day is priceless. We also got amazing and cheap massage at Nirmala and the Surf club. We ate frequently at the small open air restaurant at Nirmala. The food (Mei Goereng and Satay especially) were excellent, the Bintang beer was served in ice cold mugs, and the staff was as helpful and attentive as anywhere we’ve been. The two pools on grounds and the several raised fish pond pagodas gave us a zen-like feel and place to play cards and relax in off surf hours. We used the Grab app for rides to a nearby waterfall, a ‘night market’, and a larger indoor and outdoor day market to shop and immerse in the local area which is replete with friendly and honest people and artisanship- wood carving, colorful sarongs were among the things we saw that amazed us. The staff and stay at Nirmala were exceptional and, especially if you’re seeking a surf-based stay in Bali (not far from the Denpasar airport), you should visit this little gem. We would definitely return.

Nirmala is off of the busy main road and, while our spot and the grounds were surprisingly quiet, we couldn’t really walk off of the beach side because of the busy road. The beach isn’t easy swimming (because it has good surf).

My room was situated in a wing that faced rice fields, which was lovely and soothing to see. The bed was comfy, there was sufficient provision for clothes and other items, and a kettle for making tea or coffee. Small bottles of water were provided each day, along with small cellophane bags of sweet snacks. The room was small, but not oppressively so. I ate breakfast each day at the restaurant, which was lovely. Sometimes lunch and dinner too. The pool area was small, befitting the size of the guesthouse, and had adequate loungers and chairs. I had several Bali massages at the guesthouse spa, which were excellent. The staff were all lovely.

I would have loved a mirror near to a power outlet so I could use a hairdryer. It took me a while to work out how best to use the shower. One showerhead didn't have much pressure and the other sprayed about unless I held it. Eventually I realised the best strategy was to use the hand-held showerhead, and turn it off in between rinses. This worked well. Ideally, guests at Nirmala would have their own transport. I didn't. If I was visiting again I'd be sure to plan better for this.

We stayed here for Bali Safari & Marine Park, and we were right. It’s very near to the Safari! Moreover, has more eateries around the area. After checking in, we take a walk to the beach (black sand beach), then had dinner at Komune Hotel, another night dinner at Warong Legong (the best Bali food we had during our entire trip in Bali)!!! And with nice paddy view if you sit upstairs! My kids had fun in the hotel, busy catching baby crabs, fishes, frogs, and bugs. They even saves some crabs and frogs which were trapped in the water pipe, the small creatures can’t jump out! We definitely had memorable time here in Nirmala! Will stay in their bungalow next time, as the one we stayed was just a deluxe room, the towels, mattress, and toilet were not up to the standards. But given the money we paid, we had nothing to complain.

The location to Keramas surf beach was fantastic. The view across the rice fields was lovely. As a family with 3 kids the family villa we were in was perfect, so spacious with 2 double beds and a single over 2 levels. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The puppies at the property were the highlight for my kids, so cute and loved to cuddle and play.

No windows in the bathroom made it a little musty, but otherwise the rest of the villa was lovely. It would be great to have flyscreens on the doors to open them up and look at the beautiful view of the rice paddies.

Truly fantastic! The location—just a 3-minute walk from the beach—the wonderful bungalow, the delicious breakfast, and of course, the staff. The kind and gentle owner, and our host Gio—so welcoming, so sweet, so helpful with everything! I thought our hotel stay in Bali couldn’t get any better, but this exceeded all expectations. You truly can’t find a nicer place in Keramas. The surroundings, right in the middle of the rice fields, are simply stunning… Oh, and the rest of the staff? Just as incredibly kind!!! We didn’t want to leave at all!

That we had to leave!

Really lovely staff that could not do enough to help us. So close to the beach - perfect location. Lovely breakfast. Thank you 🙏

What I loved about Nirmala Guesthouse is that its a sanctuary from the chaotic , intense, traffic & busy tourism. At Nirmala guesthouse I needed a place to rest, recharge, read, walk to beach. If yr into surfing this is the place to stay, good value. You are surrounded by rice fields & ocean isnt far. Not a safe beach to swim but you can sit on waters edge & splash yrself to cool down wth the locals. Staff is very friendly & look after you. Its very Balinese & theres new rooms & older rooms & bungalows to choose from.

The rooms need more shelving or table to put yr clothes & belongings on. Short on storage shelves, hooks to hang up clothes. Menu a bit limited, Wayan the chef is good at what he cooks. Was sad to see plastic rubbish on road to beach. But i was told Nirmala workers pick up once a month🙏 Massage from Ayu good.🙌 Yes i felt very looked after here.

LOVED everything - great food, very close walk to keramas. Awesome staff and really friendly dogs! We stayed in a villa with a mini fridge and it was perfect for our surf trip - nice likeminded surfers around as well. Also has an awesome yoga space, nice outdoor pool and little spa. Such good value and dont have a single negative thing to say.

Nirmala Guest house is fantastic. A very short walk to the beach, close to eateries with a great little restaurant on site with delicious food. The rooms are really spacious and comfortable. Fantastic spa attached with great massages. And the staff really made our stay. They are all so lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend, will definitely be back!

Apart from the wifi everything else was fantastic. Couldn't fault it
