Everything was top notch, no faults whatsoever

Saras and his family made the Garden Terrace the most spectacular place I have ever stayed! He helped us with everything, he was available within seconds everytime and made us feel welcomed and loved! We can’t even describe how stunning the place is with the extremely well equipped cottage, the view of the island and the shoreline and the amazing garden. All the breakfasts were delicious! We already miss the place and the host and hope to see you soon!

Everything was just perfect. Like the sunset and view… i have seen so many places in the world but i have never seen a view like this before! The host family was amazing too. They were so sweet and amazing, and the house was beautiful… everything was just way better than we could ever imagine…. Thank you so much! It was great!

This was the best place we stayed at all over bali. The hosts were very caring and nice! We enjoyed their house very much and the food they offered us was delicious.

There's not much to dislike, but the noise from the road can be a bit annoying early in the morning, so it's better to anticipate it with some earplugs. We didn't mind it much because we would otherwise miss the sunrise. Afterwards, we went back to bed. The traffic really peaks early in the morning.

Saras and his family welcomed us warmly to their magical cottage on a foggy, rainy afternoon, making the garden and the cottage feel mystical. The attention to detail in the design, furnishing, and convenience of the cottage rivalled that of 5-star hotels, creating a truly special experience. Saras and his wife greeted us with a tasty welcome drink and mangosteen from their garden, showcasing their hospitality and the beauty of their homegrown produce. The meticulously maintained garden, tended to by Saras and his family, was a masterpiece of natural beauty and a labour of love. Our stay was a serene retreat, from waking up to a stunning sunrise, enjoying coffee from their garden, lounging in the hammock and wandering the garden to indulging in a full day of relaxation, ending with a full-body massage at the cottage. Our children also loved the well-deserved day of rest in this jungle paradise. We are eager to return here on our next visit to Bali and can not recommend it enough.

Shower is a bit capricious. A bit noisy in the morning because of the road behind but it was not a problem for us.

Incredible view and garden in front. Very cosy room. Saras and his family are really welcoming and always available to help. We would come back without any hesitation thanks again :)

The hot and cold water took a little while to work out in the shower. That really is the only thing though, everything else was great.

Sadly we could only stay here 1 night, the accommodation was so beautiful we would’ve loved to have stayed for longer. The hosts were very attentive and provided a welcome drink and freshly cooked food for breakfast, we also ordered an evening meal. The views are incredible and we enjoyed walking around the lovely gardens. Everything about it was well thought out to make the stay as comfortable as possible.

Beautifully located cottage, view of the jungle. A particularly beautiful view from the terrace, where you could see the entire area. A high standard house. Two beds. Very nice bathroom. Coffee machine. Very helpful owner. He helped us protect our luggage from the rain. I highly recommend. And see you soon.

Beautiful house above the valley, complete privacy, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The owner and his family are very nice and helpful. The garden around the house is very nice and you can walk around the property. The location is good as a starting point for trips around the area. He definitely wants a motorbike or a car because there isn't much around. The owner can arrange for you to rent a motorbike. Of course, everything is nice and new, but it also brings small problems that need to be solved. For example, setting the water temperature in the shower is quite an adventure 😅 But otherwise all good, thank you.

The most incredible house made of beautiful wood with an unforgettable, breathtaking view. We arrived late in the evening and we were very pleasantly greeted by the owner with hot cocoa, the most delicious avocado and a fire pit. The house is even better than in the photos, quite large, two-level and incredibly cozy. Everything is new and smells delicious. In the morning, this crazy view made me cry with happiness. You can admire the view from the balcony, from the window in the attic or on the 1st floor grid right in the jungle. I liked everything here. Starting from the beauty of the house, design, furniture, comfortable bed, very well maintained area, stairs to the 2nd floor, where you feel like in a fairy tale. It was very nice to find board games and a gym in the house. Also a huge thank you to the owner for a healthy and delicious breakfast. At the check-out, he gave us fruits from his garden and avocado, it was so nice and sweet. I will definitely come back here and highly recommend this place to stay to everyone.

Amazing stay. From the welcome drink, the comfort from the cabin, the beautiful view on the mountain and the see, the carefully well designed garden by the owner but the cherry on the top was his availability, kindness and the quality of service he provide us. We will come back for sure

The place is pretty faultless. Only thing to consider is the location. Waterfalls, coffee plantations and lakes all require transport.

What a view! What a host! Excellent hosting and amazing surroundings. A true Balinese gem.

Nothing

New and cosy decorated cabin, set in a beautiful large garden with an amazing view. You can see the sea, and sometimes you are in the clouds. Spectacular. It is very clean. It has a big fridge, magnetron, tea and coffee facilities, drinking water, good breakfast and some simple but tasty tasty dishes you can order for lunch or dinner. Saras and his loving family are great hosts and take good very care if you. I stayed for one week, but would have loved to stay longer.

Best place to stay in Bali! We spent here 10 days and we loved it so much! The house is big, clean and extremely cozy. The bed is comfortable. We enjoyed sunsets every evening from our terrace. We also had tasty breakfasts and sometimes we ordered dinners. All food was good. Saras (the host) is the best! He is so helpful and caring! Thank you for everything you did for us! We definitely recommend this place to stay in Bali - so peace and quite! The temperature is lower than on sea side but it takes only 25 minutes by bike to Lovina beach.

Let's talk about the not-so-great bits: the noise - which the host has no control over, and the insect situation. Firstly, the noise hiccup. The cabin's location right next to the mountain road means dealing with some loud motorbikes and trucks, especially the ones that seem to fancy modified mufflers. Thankfully, the traffic mellows down after 9 PM, giving a bit of a peace. Now, onto the insect adventure. When it rains, expect a bit of a bug invasion due to the traditional Balinese architecture – that cool open space between the roof and walls. It's a gateway for a swarm of flying insects to join the party indoors. To dodge them, we had to keep the lights off to avoid attracting these uninvited guests. It added a touch of 'glamping' vibes, the only time we felt like we were part of a nature adventure inside the room.

Two big reasons why you should choose this place: the incredible view and the amazing host family. They welcomed us with genuine warmth, offering top-notch service and a sincere desire to ensure our stay was beyond comfortable. Saras is all about excellence; his passion for realizing his dream of opening this cabin lodging is truly inspiring. He's set on expanding to honor his family's legacy, which adds an extra touch of heart to the experience. Knowing that we were staying on land that has been in his family for many generations is special. Now, let's talk about that view - it's jaw-dropping! You're surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of mountains, jungle, and, on clear days, even the sea. The cabin itself is a modern Balinese paradise. We were among the first Booking.com guests to stay there, and everything felt fresh and inviting. The chic design, from the rugs to the furniture, created a lovely ambiance. The bathroom? A spa-like haven with a stone rock shower adorned with real plants – an unexpected delight. Every detail within the cabin was top-notch, down to the Crate and Barrel dishes! Who knew that there was a Crate and Barrel in Indonesia? The bed was soft and comfortable? They had a microwave and an espresso machine - quite a rare find in Bali! Indulging in both daily made us feel pampered beyond belief as full time travelers. Our days fell into a blissful routine: waking up to journal and meditate, enjoying breakfast brought by Saras and his wife while soaking in the Bali beauty, sipping on espresso, and reflecting on life. The patio became our work-from-paradise spot, with occasional walks along the property's serene paths. Ordering dinner via Grab or Gojek (only two restaurants will deliver to this area) added a touch of convenience, and evenings were spent watching a show or movie on our laptop. We repeated this heavenly routine for seven memorable days. Oh, and those avocado smoothies! They were the absolute best.

The noise from the street (loud motorcycles) was for us not bearable - especially in the morning (starting from 06:30). We booked 3 nights, but left after 1 night. Another aspect: without a motorcycle, you are lost. There are no restaurants on walking distance (but they can cook for the guest - very delicious). We had some minor issues with the door and hot water (but that was resolved quickly)

The owner and his family are wonderful people. The friendliest people and very helpful. The bungalow has an amazing view (you can see the North West coast) in the middle of the jungle, a very nice garden. The owner is very responsive via WhatsApp. There is a nice (small) mezzanine with an extra bed for the child
