    The cons of the place is so far away from everything, you need a motorbike to move everywhere. There’s a bike rental close to the house.

    I liked the kindness of the staff, the air conditioner was working perfectly. If you rent a motorcycle, you can park it in front of your room. The double bed was very comfortable, and when I requested a change of sheets and towels, there was no problem at all.

    You need to have a motorbike to move to every place.

    It’s a nice place in Pecatu and there’s a nice restaurant around the corner. The main route is a 5’ walk and laundry service 100 meters away. Nice bathroom and cozy bed.

    I wouldn't say I didn't like it, but I was surprised no one offered to sweep the room in my week stay.

    This appears to be a new guesthouse, so everything looks brand new. The bed was really comfortable.

    Bathroom had terrible smell, this definitely needed a good clean.

    The property is near new so very modern. Room is very large, has room to hang items and mirror with desk outside bathroom is a nice touch. Shower pressure is good and has hot water. Staff are friendly and helpful. Tucked away so it is quiet but close scooter ride to beaches, restaurants and more. Great value!

    I couldn't contact the guest house, they ignored me, the phone they mentioned didn't work , i tried to contact them through what's app,but messages haven't been delivered,  called them,but it says that this phone number is blocked, sent them an email, no response. They didn't even answer in the app, I supposed to arrive in Bali very late, that's why i wanted to be sure that there would be someone there, so i had to book another hotel, because i didn't want to risk and stay outside in the middle of the night. I also checked google Maps, and it says that this guesthouse is closed for good. My partner requested the full reimbursement ,but no one replied, obviously. Also tried to contact The Booking for them to figure out what is going on, but they didn't help us. So, we just lost money.

    I loved everything

    the pause inn quite literally felt like home! sarin especially was so helpful towards all my needs. I loved coming back from my day and sitting at the table with him and his friends singing and playing the guitar, so many beautiful memories here. I even injured my toe and he helped me treat it. The bedroom is so cosy and comfy with all the essentials you need. The people who stayed here whilst I was here were lovely and friendly!! :)) the pause inn will always have a place in my heart and I will definitely return.

    Loud noises from staff in the middle of the night playing pool, laughing, shouting and playing music. Also loud as it’s directly next to the road. The sheets were not clean and had stains on them. The room and bathroom was not clean. My shower was broke and it took a few times asking to fix it. The WiFi did not work. There are no laundry facilities. The staff were rude or nowhere in sight. There were flys all over the room. DO NOT STAY HERE.

    Nothing.

    My worst Booking.com experience in 15 years of travelling - don't go, book somewhere else
    • Leisure trip

    I initially booked 15 days staying for the convenient price per private room. After a week or so I've kindly asked the staff to clean my room, which they did, but leaving the bathroom dirty. I left for the weekend to another location in Bali and when I came back the bathroom was full of water, a pipe was broken. The guy fixed it, therefore I kindly ask to clean the bathroom, he left the sink untouched. Being already 10 days in the place, the sink looked pretty bad, so I've asked him to please clean the sink as dirty, the guy replied this is outside of his working hours...being a 10 second action, I've asked if I can get something to clean and I do it myself, he said they don't use any products...so he gave e a towel to clean the sink with (unbelievable). I've asked for the number of the boss, as their Whatsapp number appearing on Booking doesn't work (and the place appears as permanently closed on Google Maps) but waited with writing a message. The next night, it's 2am and the staff is still drinking beers next to my room, so I write a message to the owner asking to please inform their staff of going to sleep because guests want to sleep. He himself replies rudely to me (same as I was treated by his staff previously) and tell me to check out if I don't like something and he will do a refund..at 2am, in a foreign country, being alone, I decide I try to sleep and speak to them the next morning but they keep going on. I start to believe the owner is there with them, as he's replying to me at that hour of the night! Long story short, they kept drinking and talking until 5.30am, not letting me sleep that night. The next morning I decide to leave (two nights before my paid stay ends there), but when asking about the refund, the owner stops to reply. What a scam!

    Wifi was terrible, my room had mold on the walls, bathroom door didn't close and had a strange smell, sometimes the power went off

    The position is good, you're close to everything, but you can hear all the cars passing at night, because the rooms aren't insolated, also there's a bar nearby where people gather to play pool, so if you're an early sleeper, they're gonna wake you up.
