Flowerbud Bungalow Balangan II

I strongly advise against staying at this hotel. While the booking photos depict a serene and inviting place, the reality is a complete nightmare. First, there is ongoing construction on an adjacent lot, so expect to be woken early by the relentless noise of concrete mixers. Even worse, the open-air bathroom design allows construction workers to pass by and see into the bathrooms. This led to a deeply disturbing incident where a worker stared at my wife while she was showering, making her feel unsafe and uncomfortable for the remainder of our stay. Under Indonesian law, such voyeuristic behavior is considered criminal, which makes the hotel’s negligence even more unacceptable. When we raised this serious issue with the hotel staff, their response was shockingly dismissive. Instead of showing empathy, they asked if we had photos of the worker staring at my wife, which was both insensitive and absurd. The process of obtaining a refund was extremely difficult, and the staff was unapologetically rude throughout. This was, by far, the worst experience we had during our month-long trip in Indonesia. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

We stayed in Flowerbud Bungalow Bangalan 1, although I believe the two are linked, they are separate places. The bungalow is lovely, we stayed in bungalow #2. It has a double bed downstairs, wardrobe and storage with tea/coffee facilities and a double bed upstairs, both have mosquito nets. We had Aircon which worked great and there was also a fan. There is no fridge so you can't store any milk but you can get milk from the restaurant and coffee mate is provided. The bathroom is outdoors which is lovely, and still private as it's surrounded by plants. As it's outdoors there are a few geckos and caterpillars, so be aware of that. There is a little porch on the bungalow with seating which is a lovely place to sit and listen to the sounds of the local wildlife. The pool is lovely and although shared with about 6 other bungalows we were there a week and rarely saw anyone else using it, sometimes just 1 or 2 other people. The staff are really nice and helpful and the restaurant provides some lovely food and drinks throughout the day, all well priced, although Bali does have a government tax which you need to be aware of added on at the end and there is often a small charge for foreign card payments. The location is quiet but close to a few restaurants, one particular restaurant opposite has amazing views to watch the sunset and the bungalows are a short walk to the beach where there are some other bars/restaurants. The walk is on uneven ground and on an incline so although short be aware of the terrain. You quite often see cows, dogs and cats in the area and they seem well looked after which is great! Overall we had an amazing stay at Flowerbud Bungalows and I would definitely stay again 😃

The garden was beautiful, nice pool and poolside hangout and the bales looked really cool with bamboo traditional thatch. It was a nice experience and I'd recommend it. On the other hand, it could have been cleaner when we arrived and a space to hang wet clothes and towels would have been nice. I didn't see the staff much. Solid stay close to the surf beach, just don't expect glam.

Located only a short walk from a beautiful beach. However, rooms were just not very clean, bed sheets, mosquito net and curtains stained. The cushions for the outside “living room” were also very dirty so we didn’t sit on them. Bathrooms are also outside which invites lots of bugs and you’re also overlooked by construction workers. This is also quite noisy during the early hours of the morning.

Great stay. Around 5 min walk to the beach, but we mostly enjoyed the pool. Beautifull greenery and really good food & fruit juices (cheap prices). There was even a live music night. We were provided with complemetary water, shower worked fine with hot water, ac avaliable too. Staff really friendly.

We found this hotel online after an hour of scouring the internet for a sweet Bungalow between Uluwatu and Kuta. Flower Bud by far exceeded our expectations! Beautiful bungalows full of charm and character. a lovely restaurant. amazing staff. Best beach spot on the west side of Bali by far! We would come stay here again in a heart beat. best price !

Absolutely awful experience staying here, I would not recommend this property to anyone. WiFi doesn’t work properly, the room was not clean when we arrived, the towels provided were torn, and there are a lot of insects. The rooms are not air-conditioned, making it very difficult to sleep, and the door doesn’t close properly, which made us feel unsafe. On top of that, we’ve been disturbed multiple times in the early morning by staff knocking on our doors. To make matters worse, when we brought these concerns to the receptionist, she showed absolutely no care or willingness to help. She repeatedly dismissed us with, “We can’t do anything about it.” The lack of professionalism and customer service was SHOCKING. If you’re looking for a place that values its guests and provides basic hospitality, I strongly recommend booking elsewhere.

Very quirky huts in a beautiful resort. Very basic but so tranquil. Staff are lovely. Great location. Food in the resort was delish.
