My husband, myself & 10 year old son stayed here & loved it! A quiet surfing village, very relaxed no thumping beach clubs like in hectic Canggu. The hotel restaurant had a fantastic range of food & healthy options, very relaxing to sit & watch the waves roll in. Lovely beach walks on black volcanic sand & stony shore. Excellent customer service & very friendly staff. The 2 bed villa was clean & beautifully decorated with comfy beds.

I always stay at Pondok Pitaya in Balian - it’s a tradition for me. I love supporting places like this, old Balinese hotels that preserve the traditional style, beautiful gardens, and the true spirit of Bali. This is exactly what brought me here back in 2018, and it’s the reason I keep coming back.

Everything is right there, husband could surf as many times as he liked right out the front, we could watch and swim in the pool and eat, no waiting around for him and he didn’t have to feel guilty for going for so many surfs. Surf was amazing and not crowded. Staff were great. We stayed in the river house and it was fantastic. Massage was really good. Food was great and well priced. We’ll definitely stay there again but for longer next time. Only has 4 nights but could easy do 7.

The best location in Balian!. Good sized room in a traditional Balinese style. I like the semi outdoor bathroom, it gives you that tropical feel. The room had a small sea view from the bathroom which was nice. Breakfast was nice and filling, perfect after an early morning surf.

Perfectly situated on Balian Beach with surf just outside your doorstep. Food was exceptional, room was as Balinese as it gets. The beach is a black sand with rounded rocks dotting the shore. Surf comes with both right and left hand breaks as short distance from shore. It should be noted that the hotel is adjacent to a river flowing into the ocean and there is a significantly dangerous rip that makes this not a good place to swim. The hotel Spa is very nice and the massage was both relaxing and therapeutic.

The staff are exceptional. So nice and helpful. We have limitations with stairs and severe asthma from smoke which made the lounge area difficult to eat in. They were very accommodating finding solutions. The location is gorgeous and off the beaten path. The staff worked hard and found me a driver to my next location.

Great location of this hotel right by the beach. Really lovely place to sit and have the delicious breakfast they served at the hotel. Room was clean, shower good and bed comfortable enough. Bathroom is outside which we loved. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Balian Beach is a beautiful place. So much more quiet than other places we have been to in Bali. We absolutely loved it. At the start we weren't sure but now its one of the highlights of our trip even though we are no surfers. I wanted to take lessons but the waves were pretty darn high so didn't dare :). We went for twice a day for yoga with Niki @balianspirityoga that was a short walk from the hotel. Yoga at the hotel was not happening when we were there as too quiet (end of feb) but Niki is a fantastic teacher so glad it wasn't happening at the hotel or I wouldn't have met Niki. We finished each night at Rekis Warung a brilliant spot for sunset and delicious local foods. Make sure to bring cash to Balian as many places do not take cards and the nearest cashpoint don't accept most of the European cards. We had to take a taxi for 30 minutes to get to a cashpoint that took our cards.

I’ve stayed before as the beach front location is unbeatable. The Healthy Breakfast included was fresh clean and delicious. The yoga with Valentina was fantastic and massage with Ayu was the best I’ve had ever in Bali! All the staff we warm friendly and helpful. The day I arrived the weather was wild and wet but staff remained positive and continually mopped wiped and maintained the restaurant 🙏

The property is in prime location and has everything you need- a one stop shop! The accomodation is beautiful and very traditional, staff were so friendly and food at the restaurant is great. The complimentary breakfast is simple yet delicious. Perfect place to stay if you are after some peace and quiet and a step away from the beach and the surf. Highly recommend.
