Uma Dong Loka Village

This was our fourth time staying here. The owners are very sweet and hospitable, and the service was top notch. The food is super delicious, and I especially loved the breakfast pancakes. We’ll definitely come back when we’re staying in the area again.

I’ve only tried the pool access room, where I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, so this is just my take on that type. It was clean, tidy, fragrant, and spacious. The bathroom was clean too, with a tub, shower, and water heater, though the heater sometimes didn’t work. Shampoo and soap weren’t provided. The AC worked well, but the Wi-Fi signal was very poor. The pool was clean and spacious, and the rice field view gave the villa a calm, cozy feel. Service was good, and the owner was very humble. Breakfast for two was included. There’s also a kitchen if you want to cook, but it’s far away and not well maintained, and at night it felt a little scary to me, hehe. The villa is in sangeh, abiansemal district, not far from sangeh monkey forest, and you can get there by motorcycle or car. There are three room types: private pool, garden view, and pool access. The nightly price was around IDR 350,000, though I might be wrong because I forgot the exact price. For me, it was worth it.

The rooms are roomy and comfortable for a family to rest in, and there’s space to park around seven cars. The food was decent, though there was a lot of Balinese cuisine. That could suit someone keen on local food, but it wasn’t really for me. I liked the place for a family stay, but not so much for the meals. The service also didn’t match the comfort of the room.

I loved the calm setting among the rice fields, and I’d happily come back. The villas are small and intimate, arranged around a garden and pool. The family running the place were helpful, and the service was good. Rooms and beds were clean and comfortable, and the outdoor bathrooms under the stars were a lovely touch.
