Wonderful location surrounded by jungle. The design is extremely well done and we spent many hours in the pool just looking out into the hills. Plants have all grown from online pictures also!

Nothing wrong with the host, but our choice. We selected this hotel due to close the crystal beach. But the beach is not fantastic. The hotel situated in a valley surrounding jungle, very very humidity. Our first room was number 6, there were several gecko on the roof. I couldn’t sleep in first night due to its horrible sounds. One of it fall down to our toilet, it was 20 cm long! It’s not dangerous told by the staffs but just afraid it appears our bed. The staffs brought it to the forest but the sound was still on the roof. We requested to change the room and we move to number 1. It was ok.

Well maintained of the beautiful garden, nice swimming pool, friendly staffs, clean room/shower, smooth wifi. Food was ok but not very good. Maybe it’s same around this island.

the rooms were nice, but the bed net was a bit hard to set up properly. the doors sometimes got a bit stuck, and for my smallest kid they were too heavy. not a real problem though.

The location is really great, in the middle of the jungle and at walking distance from a wonderful little bay, with snorkeling directly from the beach. try out the little restaurant on the left side of the beach "Warung beach and stones" The staff was very nice, very helpful (arranging transport etc) and friendly. The food at the restaurant was simple but very good. We were traveling with our kids (6 and 7 years old) and everything about this hotel was well suited for them.

We found some insects including leech inside the villa. The shower room roof was half open air( but we’d never seen from outside), so it gets poured when raining.

The restaurant inside this accommodation was very nice. They can serve not only Indonesian dishes but also western foods. We love their nasi goreng, Soto ayam and some kinds of pasta. They are so good.

The restaurant could be further improved. Breakfast options were good however dinner could be better. Hot water for showers are limited however these likely due to the isolated nature of the resort and part of the experience!

Mahaloka Valley offers a peaceful and comfortable stay in a jungle oasis near Crystal Bay Beach. The little wooden huts provide a truly unique experience to be surrounded by nature whilst still having the same levels of comfort and hospitality that a 'regular' resort provides. We were very well looked after by the owner and resort staff. Whilst the location is fairly isolated the resort offers taxi services or scooter hire to explore the island more easily. During our stay we were lucky enough to spot monkeys in the trees from the pool side.

It's hard to get around from this spot if you're not confident on a bike. The reception organised some taxis for us, but they weren't always available because the property is in a remote valley, so for most of our stay we had to eat dinner at the attached restaurant and stay at the villa. The restaurant had quite a few options and the food was alright, but if you're looking to explore more of the island and eat at a range of restaurants that are a bit further away, it's good to be a confident bike rider (especially with rocky roads and large hills).

Mahaloka Valley is beautiful. There's a stunning pool and the rooms are very cute. There's staff are friendly and it's only a short walk to Crystal Bay, where you can snorkel and enjoy the beach.

Prices in the restaurant weren´t the final. Will be added to the price in the menu, additional fee.

Near to beach of Cristal Bay, very peaceful destination in the middle of nature. Classic breakfast with fresh juice and fruit in the menu.

Limited Breakfast and Ants in the room

The ambience of the place

Stayed in November 2024

No external bins. No fans in restaurant to deter flies. Staff need to be more attentive to guests. Emptying ash tray and take away empty drinks and leftover food from the pool area.

Pool was good

We stayed overnight so the distance from the main area of Penida wasn't an issue. Otherwise, i would say a little isolated. I felt a little more attention to the gardens would have elevated our experience.

The location at the end of a valley brought a special ambience. To arrive you travel a dirt road through a traditional village which we were thrilled to be amongst culture. We chose here because of location to Crystal Beach (700m) for a morning swim and snorkeling (anywhere past 10am and many tourists arrive). The staff were helpful, and the restaurant was good. The property is small and intimate. *Snorkelling Crystal Bay is probably best with an operator due to navigating the currents.

The villa was very clean and the food was quick and very tasty. The team are very helpful.

The internet was not working so good.

Calm, cozy place. There is everything you need. The nearest beach is about 1.2km from the property. Staff was very kind and nice.

The location is great if you want to chill at the beach in Crystal Bay or in the beautiful pool at the hotel, however it is very remote and there’s not much around! It’s also worth noting, private transport and cars are more expensive in Nusa than mainland Bali so something to consider when deciding which location is best for your trip.

A beautiful peaceful oasis just 10 minute walk from Crystal Bay Beach on the west of the Island. Staff were super friendly and helpful in organising drivers, boat tickets etc. They also made cute decoration on the bed to celebrate our honeymoon. Food in the restaurant was lovely - good breakfast and we had dinner there one night too and was great!

Best experience that we had in Bali till now. They definitely deserve a 10+ because food is absolutely delicious, the villa is a mai in, super clean and the staff TOP. Highly recommended because they deserve more clients

The property was excellent so nothing to fault there, just the roads on Nusa Penida are not the best.

Mahaloka Valley is a piece of paradise on the beautiful island of Nusa Penida, the resort location is truly amazing, the staff are the friendliest and the owner looked after all aspects of our holiday from our transfers by boat and car to island trips. We highly recommend this accommodation to stay at, you will not be disappointed.

Great set up and felt nice and secluded Ten minutes walk to Crystal Bay

the breakfast start time is too late (at 7:30) Should have been earlier ie 6:00 or 6:30 as most guests would like to leave early to explore the island

Staff were very friendly. The owner even sometimes work at the front desk and very helpful and friendly. Told us a lot of stories about the place and gave us tips for traveling the island. He also asked his staff to pick up some coconut from the trees for us for free.

amazing location in the middle of small village with nature everywhere. amazing food at reasonable prices

Stayed in July 2024

It's a bit expensive (relatively) to get there and other places around the island by taxi, but not a major problem. The coffee provided with the breakfast was very disappointing compared to other cheaper places we stayed in Bali - just half a small cup, and it was also half cold. I just like a nice coffee in the morning, and in most places in Bali have got a good strong, big coffee provided with the breakfast. The restaurant is good for meat eaters, but as a vegetarian I found my breakfast options were much smaller.

Beautiful natural location and garden, nice pool, nice huts. Helpful staff. Walking distance from Crystal Bay and Pandan Bay.
