Have just spent 6 nights at Pandana. Had the most lovely time, unfortunately cut short because of our error in boat bookings. The views from the pool are absolutely breathtaking and the atmosphere is so tranquil, we were able to see the Bali mount range and Mt.Agung while swimming. Definitely the relaxation retreat we needed. The food and drink from the restaurant and bar were fresh, delicious and generous. The staff were so welcoming and lovely to communicate with, they helped with snorkeling, bike hire and taxi’s to restaurants. Highly highly recommend Pandana, nice and private with a lovely jungle feel. Thank you Trish and staff! :)

I chose this hotel based on reviews and it was a letdown. The linens were stained, holes in the walls, stained furniture, a cabinet didn’t open, another had cobwebs in it and overall just a filthy room. We were the only guests and had asked to change rooms but the staff was not able. Be aware that it’s at the top of a hill and taxis do not drive there so you will have to walk with your luggage. We checked out after 2 hours.

Enjoyed a week stay, Trish and her team went above and beyond to help make our stay comfortable & enjoyable. Having 2 pools in the hotel, meant no overcrowding, and the view from the top pool was amazing. Room was cleaned daily and food at the restaurant was tasty and convenient.

Awesome guesthouse with best sea views
Highly recommend this place. Very quiet and peaceful location, but, could be difficult to find yourself. Usually you'll get a free transfer from the boat service so shouldn't be an issue. Feels like paradise, has 2 pools with great views. The pools are small but one of the pools is deep, maybe 7' or so. Facilities well maintained. The whole guesthouse has less than 10 rooms, so it's very private, you rarely see other people unless in high season. We were very happy with the choice and also location is near mushroom bay which is the only swimmable beach on the island.

Place with a View
Pandana Guest House has a lot going for it- amazing views overlooking Tamarind Bay down to playgrounds , laserations and ship wreck bay. The staff here are just lovely and helpful . The breakfast lunches and dinners quite good. Small choice but adequate . Two swimming pools gave us space. The rooms when new would have been top notch but over time you can see it getting a little shabby and unloved! A little TLC would go a long way. Fix the broken towel rail. Repair the shelves in the robe or replace them. Replace the broken mosquito rail a over bed. Teach the cleaners to wipe down walls that are marked with cleaner. Disinfect the bathrooms/toilets when doing a daily tidy. It would have a good income coming in to keep on top of some of these things, but if up keep is not done the reviews may get worse. Just want to encourage the owners to keep this going as a good business there needs to be 'repair and replace' attitude.

Quiet location with great views and friendly staff
Our family had a great stay at Pandana. Knowing where the hotel was located, we hired motor bikes for our stay and were free to travel all over Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Cenigan to our favourite places and restaurants. It was a short walk down the hill to get a boat to go snorkelling or fishing. The food and drinks/mini bar were cheap by comparison to other places we have stayed. The food was excellent. The room was great. The only negatives were the lack of hot water and strong chlorine in the pool. We stayed 9 nights and probably only had hot water for 3 of them. Given the hot weather and the great pool, it wasn't that big a deal.

静かな景色の良いフレンドリーな宿
高台でプールからの景色が良くのんびりするのには素敵です。 バイクのみしか前の道路はつかないので静か。 朝食は5つくらいからの選択制。バナナ&ハニーのクループ美味しかった。夜もカレーを食べてみた。お手頃だし私は美味しかったがココナッツが嫌いな相方にはいまいちだったようです。 従業員さんは部屋数が少ないので基本的にみんな覚えているよう。英語ができないのであまりコミュニケーションできないのが残念なぐらいフレンドリー。 掃除は日本のレベルを求めるのは無理だと思っているのでそこには目をつぶる必要があります。 シャワーはほぼお水なのが少し辛いかな。 周辺徒歩5分以内にビーチとお店も数件、ビーチはどちらかというと岩場。泳ぐ雰囲気ではなかった。 歩くのがそこまで苦ではない私は、マッシュルームビーチ周辺のレストランやスパも歩いて行きました。 現地の人にはバイク乗ってこないの?迎えはこないの?と不思議そうにされましたが。

Ok hotel
There's a great view from the top pool and owner is a really nice person. Bungalows are ok if you don't mind a few bugs inside. Mosquito net would definitely be a good improvement as there's geckos up in the ceiling and we had to clean their feces as a daily basis from the bed.

Response from trish on Jan 9, 2019
Hi , thanks for sending your feedback.Geckos and mosquitos are a part of tropical life and can certainly be challenging. We do not kill the geckos as they eat the mo squitos. The best way to keep mosquitos away is air movement, which is why we have large fans above the beds. If you put mosquito nets up it stops the air movement and if you get a mosquito inside the net you will be worse off. We hope the rest of your trip went well, Cheers Trish and the team

Tolle Bungalows mit fantastischem Ausblick
Die Anlage liegt weiter oben am Berg wodurch man einen fantastischen Ausblick auf das Meer und nach Bali hat; ganz besonders vom oberen Infinity Pool und der Terrasse. Von dort aus kann man einige Spaziergänge zum Meer machen. Dafür sollte man jedoch eine Taschenlampe unbedingt für den Abend dabei haben. Die neue Besitzerin hat die Anlage vor 3 Monaten übernommen und sie liebevoll mit viel Geschmack und Stil renoviert. Überhaupt ist dort eine sehr herzliche Atmosphäre, wodurch man sich gleich sehr wohl fühlt. Es gibt ein kleines Restaurant, so dass man in der Dunkelheit nicht mehr unbedingt vor die Tür muss (keine Straßenbeleuchtung). Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Hotel bestens weiterempfehlen.

Queit and neat geust house ever!
Hotel stuff are quiet but very nice friendly people! The room has a queen size bed and an extra bed for only me. It has a hot shower and nice clean toilet. A few choices for breakfast and enough menu you want to choose for lunch and dinner. Meals includes a traditional Indonesian cuisine and delicious! 2 pools and one in front of the restaurant outside and you see the ocean from there. Sunset is beautiful. Location is on the cliff so not much to do around there. Need a motor bike or bus to get to the top of the cliff where the hotel is. I definitely come back there! Thanks!

magnifique hotel
Nous sommes restés 4 jours dans l hôtel. Éloigné du centre (moto indispensable que nous avons louée directement à l hotel) l hôtel offre une magnifique vue sur la mer depuis les hauteurs. Le bungalow que nous avons eu était très spacieux, la salle de bain très grande et neuve.Deux grandes piscines avec de beaux transats. Petit dejeuner pas tres copieux. Un super rapport qualité / prix pour l ensemble.
