They gave us a warm and heartfelt welcome, making us feel at home from the start. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. The entire place was spotless, and the atmosphere was filled with positive energy. One of the highlights was the natural volcanic water swimming pool. We visited in February, and while the water was slightly warmer, it was still incredibly refreshing and felt amazing on the skin. Breakfast was another standout experience. The staff thoughtfully asked us the day before what time we’d like to eat and what we preferred, ensuring a fresh and delicious meal every morning. Our main goal for this trip was snorkeling and spending time at the beach, and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean the beach was, even during the rainy season. While plastic pollution was noticeable in other parts of north, east, and west Bali, this particular beach had an inspiring cleanup initiative. There’s an ongoing project that focuses on keeping the beach clean and even restoring the coral reef, which makes for a breathtaking snorkeling experience. Another incredible project in the area is the turtle rescue center, where you can feed the turtles and even release them into the ocean with a small donation. They provide a certificate for participation, which we found to be a really thoughtful touch. For those looking for more adventure, we highly recommend booking a guided snorkeling tour to Pemuteran through the hotel. The corals there are absolutely stunning and well worth the trip!

Our well located private hut aside a large pool in a quiet area. It was a short walk to the beach where we could snorkel at the Biorock project area - impressive variety of fish and coral direct from the beach. A short walk to a good choice of food options (Warung Manis was the best Balinese) and coffee on the main road (kopi Ku'Bull barista!). Quiet setting. A good selection of breakfast options. Loved our private outdoor shower. Lovely staff. Booked a village tour and Menhanjan Island snorkelling trip through our host. Also, our transfer from Sanur to Pemuteran - excellent driver stopping at twin Lakes, temple and a waterfall on the way. All very good. All up great value stay and recommended. Right for the price.

Nothing disliked. The air conditioning system was great as the room gets hot. A simple wall-mounted fan may be useful as another option when air-conditioning is not needed.

It was everything we needed. I loved the outdoor shower. The breakfast was good with fresh fruit, coffee/tea and a main breakfast plate. We found that having a fridge in the room was ideal to fill up our water bottles with the free drinking water, so we had nice cold water for the next day. Our dive course started in the pool right outside our room. The restaurants around were all a 5 mins walk away as was the beach. Very helpful and friendly staff. A great place to stay. We would definitely stay here again if we dive here again.

Nothing

Location is great - beach side of Pemuteran, half way between the main street for local eateries and the beach for resort bars and access to snorkelling etc. Staff were also great - arranging laundry, transport and activities if you wished but with no pressure applied - you just need to ask them for help. Kadek organised transport for us on a big festival day, managing to arrange a share with another couple as there were limited drivers available that day (which also saved us money as a bonus!). Pool was extremely pleasant and we enjoyed a massage on site also, at a very reasonable price.

Nothing that I can think of...

This is a gem of a place to stay! It’s quite private and very relaxed. The staff were welcoming and friendly.. Close to the beach as well as local restaurants and services. I loved my wooden bungalow— with great air conditioning and hot water. I booked my Advanced Scuba course and my skill tests were conducted right off the beach at BioRock, a 3 minute walk from here. Great snorkelling and scuba diving. My favourite place in Bali so far. Great for a solo traveller.

The staff were really friendly and the location was amazing. The pool is also nice and the price per night was excellent.

The hotel seems to be getting older and isn't as well maintained as it should be. Our main door and bathroom door didn't close completely and the main door definitely needs repair. Only one towel per person in the bathroom is also not a lot, at least one extra smaller one for drying hands would be great.

My stay in Kubu Padi has been great! Staff is very kind and helpful, they upgraded my to a Bungalow which had a super clean and new outdoor bathroom with shower. The bed is comfy and new, there's a nice pool and you have everything walking distance (nice warung, little markets). Beach and dive shops are close. The pool is a little warm but crystal clean. The facility is new and well maintained, in a quite road away from main road traffic and noise. The best accomodation in my long stay in Bali and a great value for money.

We loved our stay at Kubu Padi. The staff were wonderful, responsive and incredibly helpful. The grounds and wooden rooms are delightful - expect to see and hear lots of gheckos - which are great for keeping away the bugs! Pemuteran was a lovely village with some excellent local warungs for eating options. Beach was an easy 5 minute walk away and the locals friendly. We had a mini fridge in our room which was great! Also appreciated the filtered water refills provided. We would definitely stay here again - fantastic value for money.Thankyou!

Lovely place. Lovely gardens. Lovely people. Easy to get to the beach and the main road. Hot shower though it had to be fixed. Wifi was good. The breakfast was ok.

This would get a 9 or even 9.5 but the bathroom was dark and damp, and smelled of damp. There appeared to be no airbrick to let air in and out.

My wooden house was private while being right next to the pool, the staff were so kind and accomodating, lovely Kadek even lent me his bike so I could pedal to Pulaki temple for sunset, it was a highlight of my stay 🌅 it was a short and lovely stroll to the beach too :) I loved staying at this gem in Permuteran. Thank you Kubu padi!!

Nothing, it was wonderful
