We stayed in Ubud and wanted to have a place, which were closer to the harbour to go to Gili Island. So we decided to go to Pondok Dawa Villa.
We called them one day before if they still have place and he had luckily. As we arrived, he were very, very kind to us. The Hotel it's like a huge Villa, where also the staff lives and we felt immediately welcomed. That night we could even watch a movie ( Pirates of Caribean ) :-) the next day we had it very busy sadly , because our driver were already there , so we couldn't take a breakfast with them. The staff were so kind and friendly , really. They gave us even a breakfast-take-away. Thank you very much!!

Best wishes

This was our 3rd stay here. It was great to catch up with George, Mama and their family again, they also treat their guests like family so it's nice and friendly and comfortable. Para , their daughter is now there to help them and she makes sure that everything is in order and of best quality available, but George still has the final say. The rooms are clean and well equipped. The breakfast was great, but the rest of the meal options we fell are a bit limited.
You definitely need transport when staying here , either your own or hire from the villa, as it is a little isolated but definitely peaceful . Now over the years there has been a huge increase in traffic on Bali it takes around 1.5hrs to get to the airport.
We will be back and recommend this accomodation.
