Great stay for surfing.

The location is ideal for surfing and it was the best mattress I had in my three weeks in Bali. Food was good. The property is mostly clean, and quite pretty, though the shower has chicken wire covering the window—and mosquitoes got in. Walls are paper thin and my neighbors smoked and the smoke came into my room on a regular basis.

Amazing location right on the beach and convenient. I would have liked a better lock on my door, as the compound is exposed to the broader community since it's adjacent to a surf beach.

For surfer It is good and comfortable. We can wake up by wave sound and sun and bird harmony. Easy wave check and entry. Great location

Overall, this place is great-the ONLY downside is that it is far from everything. It’s at least 2 hours from both the airport and Ubud and everything else. If you want to come to Bali and have the beach all to yourself to surf or relax, then this is a good hotel for that. Just remember that it will take you forever to get anywhere, so coordinate transportation well ahead of time. Also, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The room was really amazing as well, very rustic. And the staff are great.

This hotel is right on the beach. You can sit by the pool or in the restaurant area watching the surf right in front of you. All staff are friendly and helpful. I live in Jakarta and went for a weekend surf trip. This hotel and area in Bali was all I needed. That's the point. It is a quiet, relaxing location.

Location was perfect; food was very good; room needed refurbishment!

Very enjoyable stay. The hotel is right on the beach, directly in front of the break. You can check the wave in the morning from your room! The grounds are green, full of water features and peaceful. A quiet, soul recharging hideaway in the low key Balian. With pool, restaurant, and tables and chairs overlooking the beach, Pondok is a great place.
