    I really liked the design of the bathrooms outside. You have to be careful because there are a lot of catepillars when showering. In my room in particular there was a crack in the wall of the bathroom which was quite visible, which made me feel unsafe. My room had a fan, not AC and the truth is that it is not very powerful and it is very hot. It is somewhat bearable if your stay here is short (I was here for 2 days) if you take a cold shower in the middle of the night. The mosquito net has done its job, although it had a few holes in it. The mats and cushions on the porch had quite noticeable dirt stains.At night you hear a lot of noise, especially dogs barking, some motorbikes and next door there are roosters and chickens that wake you up early. There is no hot water available in the shower

    The place has a lot of charm. Especially because it is environmentally friendly. It is a place to relax. The design is beautiful. The gardens are very well kept and the facilities are ok.. Staff was friendly. Each bungalow has a porch which is great for reading, dining or just hanging out. Bed is comfortable Swimming pool.is great. Was nice that the offer cold water to refill.for the people.for free at the restaurant. The place is cheap and 5m walking distance from the beach. I thibk they can improve some things and make the most of it.

    Nice small resort in the nature, all built with natural products. Amazing garden, great swimming pool, just paradise! Good spa service - quality massages for nice price. Tasty food what you can order on the spot in their restaurant.

    While it was nice to stay in a place made from local materials, it was a bit hot in the bungalow as the AC was quite weak and the place is not well insulated.

    Really green and lush grounds. Very pleasant and quiet.

    Small points not meant as criticisms: The cushions on the sunbeds were quite stained and musty and could perhaps do with a decent clean or replacement. Our cottage also smelt a little bit musty and the mosquito net had holes in it - although at the time of staying this didn't matter as Bali we found one of the least 'bug infested' places we've ever visited. It might however be an issue at a different time of year as the accomdation itself has a partially open front.

    The accommodation has a beautiful pool and the layout of the individual bungalows is well thought out. The restaurant overlooks the pool and although it has limited offerings on the menu the staff were extremely friendly and the food and drinks on offer were good value. There is also cooled water which you can help yourself to - a lovely touch. The thatched huts are on stilts with a spacious shaded veranda to welcome you. Inside the room is rustic and basic but completely adequate and there was the bonus of a fridge - every room in Bali should have one - IMHO. The outdoor bathroom/shower again is simple with quite a clever bamboo shower (loads of hot water) - we were only staying one night so it was fine. Flower Bud is an ideal stop-over point for a return layover before flying home - our journey to the airport was 1/2 an hour max by taxi. I think this property represented excellent value for money. Staff were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive. The accommodation is easy to find and only a few minutes walk from Bangalan beach. (Note, don't be put of the main road you have to traverse to get to Bangalan - the location itself is along a quiet winding country lane which becomes more and more serene the further on it goes. A quite word about the beach - so easy to access on foot and only a few minutes walk. The view is stunning; flanked by a golf course on the left and serene cliffs to the right and it became quickly apparent that it attracts avid sufers. You can wander along the shore and watch the sunset behind the shadowy surfing figures as they dedicately catch the waves well into the dusk. The beach itself isn't the cleanest but there was a warm atmosphere conjured by the confluence of locals and visitors of all ages sharing the space together and simply enjoying the calm and beautiful ocean.

    The door doesn’t close properly when you lock it to leave. It’s a padlock so a few times I would come back to find my doors a quarter open. It means the aircon can’t do its job properly. The only other thing is there was NO sealed bottled water when I arrived including the restaurant. After arriving from a long day of travelling and having no water (and nowhere to buy as it was quite late) was not fun given the Bali heat. I asked for a coconut instead - also out of those. I had to settle for a soda water can. Otherwise everything was as expected.

    The property was pretty much as expected. These are not criticisms but a few things to note for people who will travel here: the air conditioning doesn’t really make the bungalow cold (only a couple degrees colder than outside), the pillows and beds are on the firmer side, bring an eye mask if you like it dark as the lights outside come in through the windows, and bring earplugs if you don’t want to be woken up the roosters. There is actually not a whole lot around so bring snacks, water etc with you. The staff were all lovely, the pool was amazing (although a bit warm for my liking), mini fridge kept everything cold, and it’s 5-10 mins walk to Balangan beach.

    Very unique experience staying in bungalows, with bathroom under the open sky. Bungalows are small but tidy, with comfortable bed and god A/C. The whole area is incredibly nice, with many trees and grass. The pool is pretty nice, too. Incredible good value for the price, I would highly recommend.

    Room can get a bit warm as the aircon is just a ceiling fan.

    Breakfast by the pool was really nice. Pool was very refreshing and they have massage on-site. Quick walk to lots of close beach clubs and the beach itself. I had a 4 hour flight delay so only arrived at 1am but the security guy let me in and was very nice.

    Value for money, it looks like a high end villa but was very affordable, you can rent motorcycles from the staff, very helpful and friendly staff as they provide us ear blocks after we said the noise was affecting our sleep (crow&bullfrog croak)

    Lots of bedbugs in our original room that we stayed in for 3 nights. We have both been badly bitten and worry about our stuff. The staff did move us to a different bungalow and covered our laundry costs but I feel that more should have been done to apologise.

    Nice staff, the rooms and outside area were attractive and comfortable.

    The cleanliness and maintenance could be improved. Toilet bowl is quite dirty, also the towel smells a bit dumpy. The restaurant was a bit pricey for me.

    The property itself looks so nice and expensive, worth the price that you’re paying. Love the toilet! The location wise is very close to Balangan beach.

    the Balanga beach is mainly for surfers and it is quite rocky for swimming, beach bars and cafes are not the nicest in Bali - well, we have travelled in off season also distance to the beach is 3 min by motorbike, not on foot

    great bungalows, comfy rooms, beautiful garden and facilities
