Ubud, Indonesia
Positive section of review
We really enjoyed the breakfast; it may not have all the choices of a big hotel (because it's a homestay!) but it's individually cooked and quality is superior. Rooms were super clean, the house is very charming (proper Balinese experience) and location is perfect - a short walk to the main streets. Ben is really nice and can help you organise any trip, transfer, guided visit that you can think of. I think his prices are a bit high: this is not necessarily a bad thing (e.g. maybe he offers higher quality than others), you just to be aware so you know what you are accepting.

Nothing, really. I found Ubud excessively touristic and maniac, and Ben's homestay is an oasis of tranquillity in the chaos of the town.
Lovina, Indonesia
Positive section of review
The rooms are super-comfortable, staff are amazing, spa is very well priced, the whole hotel has a very laid back atmosphere and it's just a few minutes drive from Lovina. Some reviewers mentioned that the hotel needs refresh - maybe it was their first experience in Indonesia, but all hotels here (including luxury ones) need some renovation here and there; and, in any case, this is part of the Bali charm - helped by the Buddhist temple (several hundreds years old) in the hotel grounds.

The beach in front of the hotel is not great, especially in the afternoon with low tide. It can be fixed by staying around the pool, or by getting a taxi to some other beach.
Gili Meno, Indonesia
Positive section of review
The resort is in front of the boat pier: very easy to reach once you get to the island, but that means it no immediate access to a beach (there is a good beach 5 minutes walk to the north). Food is not what you remember Gili Meno for: with this in mind, the restaurant is not too bad and has a nice location. There are nice bars on the other side of the islands where you can see the sunset, but I didn't feel the food was that much better.
Negative section of review
The pool is small and forgettable - but please, don't let this put you off. You shouldn't go to the Gilis for the pool (and if you do, consider changing destination).
Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Positive section of review
The hotel is in the centre of Yogyakarta, so everything is within reach with a 10-15 minutes taxi ride. Rooms are functional, clean. Staff are nice, although they offer limited support for anything non-hotel related (taxis, trains, etc.)
Negative section of review
(1) With hindsight, I think a better location would be the Prawirotaman area, where the cool restaurants are. (2) not a complaint, but be aware that the staff are unable to help on anything that is not hotel related. For example, we needed to book train tickets (very cumbersome process in Indonesia), and they were not able to give any advice - not even a basic one.
Lagoi, Indonesia
Positive section of review
Great location with lovely open lobby. Good selection of restaurants and food. The best Lychee Ice tea! Staff are very friendly and call you by your name!
Negative section of review
Construction works ongoing underneath our room with annoying noise and vibration. The keys constantly disconnecting so had to recode them a couple of times. The room wasn’t well cleaned and maintained. It looked like a lot of staff were standing around and not being deployed effectively, e.g. swimming pool towels often not there.

I loved that the property was family owned and it was a nice change from the hotels and resorts where I stayed until I came to Ubud.
