Dear readers! Please remember that the accommodation prices when booking depend on seasonal fluctuations, one-time discounts, promotions, hot deals, your personal discounts in booking systems, and many other factors. The prices in the article are indicated for the autumn of 2019.
If you plan to look for accommodation in a guesthouse for an extended period, it makes sense to book a room for a couple of days, live there, experience all the pros and cons, and ask the guesthouse owner for a discount for long-term stay. If you speak directly with the guesthouse owner, there is a chance to get a discount in the range of 10-40% off the amount calculated by simply multiplying the cost of daily stay by 30.
If you have received any new information about the guesthouses mentioned in this article or any other good offers, please share your discoveries.
++ Excellent location just steps away from Mushroom Beach. Truly hospitable staff, and they also manage a really good and affordable restaurant serving Indonesian dishes.
--- The water is a bit salty, but they say it's like that everywhere on the island.
++ New and very clean rooms. Comfortable bed. Pleasant design. Just a couple of minutes away from the guesthouse, there is a beach (not perfect, but you can swim). If you need the internet, ask for a room closer to the reception. Excellent value for money. Friendly and very hospitable hosts.
--- It's difficult to find the guesthouse because the map location is incorrect! It's better to clarify the location in advance to avoid long searches. The water is salty, and the shower water flow is pulsating. It's a bit unusual, but you get used to it.
Taju Guest House 9.0
++ The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom had necessary soap and shampoo. You can rent a scooter right at the guesthouse. Good WiFi. The bed is large and comfortable.
--- Sometimes it can be difficult to open and close the door.
++ Wonderful atmosphere, location, and host. Everything is clean. There is a kettle in the room, an excellent bathroom (large and clean), a comfortable bed, and a beautiful garden. It is very close to the Mushroom Bay, making it easy to take a boat to Sanur.
++ A very cozy cottage with a refrigerator and an electric kettle. Very delicious breakfast. Friendly staff. The hotel, or rather the four bungalows, are located very far from all the beaches, roads, restaurants, and so on, in the village in general. There is one decent warung within walking distance, and that's about it. There is no pool, if that's important to anyone. To get to the beach, either a 45-minute walk or a motorbike, but you can't really speed on such roads. The breakfasts are tasty and very generous.
--- The hotel rents out rather worn-out bikes.
++ Clean linens. A great place to stroll around the village. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And good breakfast.
--- Not very stable internet.
++ The owner is an amazing person, willing to do everything possible for all guests. The location is excellent, close to good restaurants and the beach. The bed is very comfortable, the room and bathroom are clean. The entire place seems quite new, and the pool is just stunning.
--- The room is very simple (without a wardrobe or anything), the shower is next to the toilet (which is normal for Bali), Wi-Fi can sometimes be a bit slow.
++ Great atmosphere, very friendly staff willing to help you plan your vacation and answer all your questions, as well as prepare everything you need.
--- A bit secluded, no shops nearby, so you'll have to take a scooter.
Hokita Home Stay 9.4
- There is a pool.
++ Beautiful cozy houses in the garden (I stayed in a bungalow). Clean, has everything you need, air conditioning, refrigerator. Almost on the shore near the beach, at night you can hear the sound of the waves. It's easy to walk to both the beach and the main street with restaurants and shops. The hosts are wonderful.
--- Strong audibility between houses.
