Gunung Merta Bungalows

The bathroom was compact and could have been cleaner, and the rough stone shower floor wasn’t comfortable to stand on. But the room had good amenities, there was a water dispenser inside, and the staff were awesome. The balcony looked out over the jungle, and breakfast was exceptional. A wonderful first introduction to Bali. We’d love to visit again.

Breakfast was the highlight for me. I could message the hotel service on WhatsApp whenever I liked, order what I wanted, and have it brought right to my room. Eating that delicious food on the terrace with such a beautiful view was more than I could have wished for. I spent five nights here, and the room was amazing, looking out onto pure green. Although it’s near the city center and by the road, being set behind the main gate kept it completely quiet. At night I heard only wild animals, which felt magical. The people working here were the kindest, most caring and helpful. I’m over the moon with this place. Best stay in Bali for me, thank you! ❤️

The gardens were one of my favorite parts, and because the place sits back from the road, it felt secluded and cool. The staff were incredible, the pool was really good, and the small number of guests gave the boutique hotel a relaxed feel. Our big, clean room had a jungle-facing balcony, excellent beds, good air conditioning, and good Wi-Fi. We stayed a week and tried lots of breakfast choices: smoothie bowls, omelettes, Balinese dishes, eggs prepared different ways, fresh fruit, smoothies, plus coffee and tea. We also ate dinner at the hotel one night, and the food was excellent. It’s a short walk to the center, with great coffee at Foci next door and good food on the same street or five minutes away.

Beautiful grounds filled with lovely plants, and a lovely pool. The staff were kind, friendly, and so helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. I highly recommend this place!
