Homestays in Panji

Where to start. From the moment you arrive, Leia, the owner, is such an amazing host. She tells you all the right places to eat, sites to see, how to get around, and even knows the weather better than the weather radar! She will also make bookings for you, ensuring a seamless experience for your stay from a local. Another thing that blows you away on first impression is the view that you get from every inch of the property. Wow! Lush green rainforest draping the hillside below you out to the quaint little town of Lovina below and out to the spectacular calm blue ocean. We also loved the super cute and friendly cats and dogs on the property, all with their own unique little personalities, coming to greet us every time we came back through the gate. The communal eating area was fantastic, a nice long outdoor table with a cool breeze and a million-dollar view. The food cooked up by in-house chef Lilu was fantastic. Pro tip: try the Beef Rendang, a very generous portion that still left me yearning for more as it was so tasty. The room was huge and clean with everything one wants. Such a comfortable bed that I had to pull myself away from it to actually do things like swim in the pool or head down the hill to town at Lovina (a short 10 to 15 minute trip on our scooters). The bathroom was amazing too, with a nice big shower and glorious hot water. The pool is very well designed as an infinity pool to take in the view, and there are several sitting ledges and standing platforms to take in the view. We were lucky enough that Steve was also at the villa as well, and he explained the Singaporean influence of the building design, which became apparent and very well done once he mentioned it. Leia has taken great pride in her gardens, which shows and makes for a truly tranquil atmosphere when relaxing around the villa by day or night. I could not recommend a stay at Villa Mata Hari more; this is the only place I will stay from now on when visiting the north of Bali.

The room is spacious and I love the kitchen thr most. It’s fully equipped with basic needs that you would need, and I love being able to cook simple things while staying there. The pool is excellent too and great for a much needed plunge after being out and about under the hot sun. The location is perfect too, only 5 minutes walk to a quiet stretch of beach. Loved my stay there.

Very nice hosts. Big and very clean room. For this money - the best choice.

My stay at Kaia Lovina Hotel was truly wonderful! The host was super friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect close to everything I needed but still peaceful. And the breakfast? Simply amazing! It was fresh, delicious, and a great way to start the day. I highly recommend it!

Great value for the money. Much nicer than expected. Clean, quiet, nice garden and pool. Good breakfast. In center of town, but felt like you were outside. Very private. Helpful.staff. Fridge stored with beer and sodas for nominal charge. Coffee maker with free tea, coffee, pitcher of water. Highly recommend. Also, an adorable dog was here.

Great stay along the main hotspots around the area! Very much in the nature with water flowing outside. Can be kinda loud if not used to. The host lady was super nice and helpful too and they had cute dogs :) Double thumbs up!

The vibes

It's a guest house, but as there are no other tourists you receive a great villa with good design completely for yourself. Picturesque view to the Lovina and quiet neighborhood. Also you receive access to a well equipped kitchen if you'd like to cook. Totally worth it.
