Nothing.

My stay at Incense was amazing! The location is perfect, just steps away from the busy main street but still far enough to avoid the noise and chaos. There is some construction in front of the hotel, but thanks to their agreement, work only happens between 9am and 5pm, so it didn’t really bother us. The staff were super attentive and helpful, even arranging a scooter for us at a great price that was delivered right to the door. Breakfast was delicious with three options, plus fresh fruit, coffee, and tea. The rooms are spacious, the outdoor shower was such a nice exotic touch, and the bed was very comfy. Everything is well decorated and thoughtfully done. I’d definitely come back here if I return to Uluwatu!

The space was so private and comfortable and the staff so welcoming. The rooms were fantastic and spacious and I can never live without an outdoor shower after this…amazing! Location was close to everything, either walking or a short scooter ride. The breakfast was excellent, not a big bunch of buffet everything, but cooked for you on order with a nice choice to start your day. Highly recommend an in house massage in the gardens, just as much as I recommend a stay here. We will be back.

Nothing to do with the property but they are building new apartments behind the hotel and it was a bit noisy during the day, although restricted to 9-5 which is good

Beautiful little resort , very clean and modern, cute little outdoor bathroom, lovely pool area and good location not far from Main Street where restaurants are, we had a lovely view of ocean and greenery from our balcony Staff lovely, friendly and helpful, Banana Lounge next door great for food and drinks

Lots of construction around Uluwatu in general, doesn’t matter which part of Uluwatu- just lots of building works etc

The bed was super comfy, the staff were amazing, the breakfast simple but delicious

The Uluwatu area is currently 'under construction', which unfortunately means that there were building works nearby (but then again, there's construction everywhere in this area!). They are nearing completion now and are completely out of the hotel's control, so I'm not scoring the hotel down on this. A set of earplugs really helped us! When walking to the highstreet/ beaches, not every bit of street has pavements, so please be mindful of the cars/bikes whizzing past (or use a taxi/bike). It didn't bother us much, but might be challenging for others.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were celebrating our 10 year-anniversary and the hotel kindly upgraded us and decorated our room with towel swans and beautiful flowers upon arrival! This was such a nice surprise! :) Our room was wonderful and spacious, with a nice balcony overlooking the sea and an outdoor bathroom. The grounds are so lovely and green, really enjoyed lounging at the pool too. A little well-kept sanctuary that felt private and secure. It's also a short walk away from the highstreet and various beaches, but if walking is not your thing it's also very easy to get a Grab or Gojek in the area. Breakfast was great, very generous portions, served outside in the little bar area. Thanks again for the lovely staff who went above and beyond!

The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, but guests get a 10% discount at a small warung right next door. While that’s convenient, it also means that the breakfast provided by the hotel itself is quite basic, which was a bit of a letdown considering the high price of €175 per night, which is expensive for Indonesia. Also, while services like massages and taxi bookings are available, they are offered through external providers and must be paid in cash. That’s understandable, but a bit inconvenient… it would be easier if these services could be paid by card through the hotel. Finally, although the room was great, there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom pipes that occasionally spread into the room. It took some getting used to but didn’t affect our overall stay too much.

The hotel is very well located, peaceful yet close to everything. Our room was spacious, clean, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. The terrace offered a beautiful view and was a lovely spot to relax. We also really appreciated the calm atmosphere of this small boutique hotel with only a few rooms.

Amazing staff, all very friendly with us. Accommodated for the last breakfast as we left earlier than when the breakfast opened. Clean rooms with everything we needed, great views. We managed to book surfing classes and massages very easily as well. Very responsive on WhatsApp as well.

Building noise right opposite all day. But not much they can do about it. Overlooking from the balconies on the building being build opposite into the bathroom/ shower Suggest increasing the visual protection. The shower is separate from the rest of the bathroom with a gravel bed, which can be a little precarious when wet.

Serene setting. Comfortable beds. While they don’t have a restaurant on site, they have partnered with banana lounge next door and offer 10% of all food and drink. And their food is delicious. Especially the brownie.

The Staff and owner were amazing and extremely helpful and friendly

The only 'negative' was the construction work next door which was completely out of the hotel's control and not a reflection on them, just something to be aware of.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave great recommendations and helped organised transfers for us to and from the hotel. The breakfast was tasty and portions were generous.

The beach towels need replacement as there were huge spots on them.

We actually liked everything! Our room was as in the pictures and was really nice! Delicious breakfast and very kind staff. The location was great, quiet but right next to restaurants, shops and beaches.

The access to the beach is rocky and steep. We only went there once and then preferred driving to more distant beaches. The location is not at the center of Uluwatu and walking there after dark is unpleasant.

Cozy and comfortable. The staff were kind and helpful. Quite, beautiful location. Great rooms. Fun swimming pool.

Some construction like everywhere in the area, but the hotel made a deal with the construction site to ensure they don’t work early mornings and in the evening. They were also very accommodating with earplugs etc

Quiet and nice small hotel, easily accessible although the 10 min walk from the main road got a bit dark at night. But it was good value for money

Breakfast was mediocre but complimentary. There was a large construction project ongoing across the road which was a little noisy but no fault of the hotel! There was no noise overnight or noticeable noise around the pool area.

Great location, friendly staff and gorgeous complex. Our bags were immediately taken upon arrival and put in our rooms, then we were provided ice cold drinks as we checked in .There was plenty to do in the local area but it was tucked away enough to be pretty peaceful! We were given loads of recommendations of great restaurants, beaches and activities and the communication with staff over WhatsApp was impeccable. Room came with a mini fridge stocked full, with everything reasonably priced. Would love to stay again if I'm ever over in Uluwatu!
