Everything - gorgeous location, extremely friendly hosts…we loved it!

A bar frig in room would have been handy.

True Balinese style accomodation set in the mountainside with amazing views over the harbour. There is walking access to town down fairly steep steps but it’s only 5min. The villa and family are super friendly and helpful, always smiling and there for anything. Basic rooms but have all you need (but no frig). Lovely little pool to cool off after walking the stairs too! And their turtles…wow, they are happy and well looked after and breeding…was pretty impressive. Highly recommend especially if heading over to the Gilis making it easy to get to the port.

Lovely Villa in the hill overlooking Padang Bai. Beautiful place and amazing staff. Marcel was really helpful, organising everything from transfers/ ferry tickets/ day trips. He also helped me arrange airport transfer, accommodation and ferry ticket/ transfer for my friend who arrived a few days later than us while we had already gone to Lombok. The rooms were very nice, each has a private bathroom, balcony and are fully air conditioned ( although i doubt youll need it being high up , it gets very cool at night.) To get into Padangbai town, there’s a set of stairs leading straight from the Villa. The stairs are quite steep but doable for many people. It takes around 5-10 mins and is a great workout on the calfs coming back up. The food is great at the Villa, for breakfast we had bowls of assorted fruit followed by your selection from the breakfast menu. For both mornings i opted for the banana pancake. On the last evening we had a delicious curry made by Marcel’s wife ( Maaf Ibu, saya lupa namamu 🙏) It was one of the best curries I’ve ever had ! Overall - we had a great experience at Villa Manouria and would recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation in Padang Bai.

It was hard to find

It was very clean & tidy. Marcel & Made are excellent hosts.

The stairs from the road to the villa.

Beautiful, well maintained. Felt like home.

170 steps to the town was challenging if done a few times a day or if it’s wet.

It’s up high so there are great views over the bay and Padang Bai. Quirky rooms. Lovely pool. Staff are brilliant. Nice food.

Directions to the property was quite difficult. I think this should be mentioned on all the booking sites. More signs from the main road and on the way up the dirt road would be helpful. Also, more signs if you are walking up the steps to the property - it is very steep and there are a lot of steps

The room and pool were lovely. The staff were fantastic, my home cooked meal was delicious and the view over Padangbai was beautiful

Nothing - everything was great!

We had a short stay in Padangbai for some snorkelling and scuba diving, and this was the perfect place for us! Three of us shared a family room, which had an amazing view from the balcony. The owners and staff were so kind and lovely. We were treated to a great breakfast and coffee in the morning, and enjoyed watching all of the turtles and tortoises that live around the garden. There are plenty of great restaurants and cafes around the town, and the beach was popular too. We really recommend!

The property was up the hill, so to get to and from the town you have to walk up or down a Massive staircase of around 170 steps, but the view was worthy enough for the effort

Really beautiful villa, amazing views, the pool and surroundings were incredible beautiful. The owner was really nice and made sure my driver did not get lost as it was a bit difficult to arrive to the place so he picked me up in his car from another location and then drove me through the forest to the property. The owner was really welcoming and helped with all the questions I had. Breakfast with the most amazing view of the mountain and the sea, watching the sunrise and the food was really yum, great coffee

The room is spacious but really basic. the mosquito net is not covering the bed but it's true there's no a lot of mosquito. I can't really figure out how to lock my door but i only stayed for one night so i didn't bother to ask. bed is just soso. the toilet and shower is half outdoor so it's was a bit uncomfortable when i need to go to toilet when pouring rain. the villa itself is very cute though. basic breakfast.

Super nice location, it felt like the middle of the jungle with the sounds, lizards, geckos, there are tortoises inside too, the room is also very cool, Marcel and everyone else too are extremely nice, amazing place

Everything about the room and hotel were great.

The bathroom didn’t smell nice and we didn’t have hot water. The room was tiny and the location is hard to get to.

Amazing breakfast 😍 the best pancakes I had in Bali! Very lovely people working/living there - felt very welcomed ❤️ We had a beautiful view and the people singing at the temples at 5am made our morning alarm magical and very special!

If you arrive by foot, take in mind that it will be a steep climb! What you get in return is the nice view ;)

Lovely view over Padang Bai and very friendly staff. Even though we stayed only one night, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Bit of a crazy drive. Understand now why they offer to transport you to their location

Amazing views, wonderful owners/staff

The only small downside was the not so hot shower, but it was not a dealbreaker for me. (Not cold, just not so hot).

This was a very good place! I loved the view, fantastic! The staff and owners were so friendly; they were very nice and helpful. Marcel is an enthousiastic man, as is his wife/partner. Good breakfast! Nice bed, comfy bedding, beautiful garden, you can buy cold drinks at a supermarket price from them, you can take some free snacks like crisps and kroepoek. Nice looking pool (didn't use it, but it looked good). The view comes with a lot of steps up ofcourse. When arriving and leaving you will use a taxi (theirs to the harbour is 50k which is absolutely reasonable). When you go into town you use the steps. A lot of them, but it is an easy short walk, just a lot of steps. If you don't want to go out, you can have dinner at the place itself. Nice balcony.

The whole island got blacked out of electricity on arrival. In the dark, it was not easy to find the location, but Marcelo was very helpful with guidance and took us for dinner in the city when we arrived. And what an amazing view was from the balcony in the morning. Thank you!

Getting woken up by the dogs barking 4 in the morning is annoying. Seeing a dog in the kitchen, greeted by some bug on the bed on arrival is disappointing.

Staff is fantastic, view phenomenal.

I can’t think of anything. Just that you would need good mobility to stay here as you can’t easily ride a motorbike to the villa, so lots of steps to the town and back. There’s also steep steps to get to your rooms. Also the bathrooms are outside so I shared mine with a little frog. I enjoyed it but I guess it wouldn’t be for everyone.

I loved my time at the villa and didn’t want to leave. It has such a beautiful view over Padang bai. Looking at the view while eating fruit for breakfast and drinking coffee was perfect. Marcel and Mari and the rest of the staff are so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable which I always appreciate as a solo female traveller. There’s also a den of tortoises on the property which were fun to watch. Also beautiful gardens and ponds. There’s a lot of steps to get down to the town but I enjoyed the view on the way down and walking through the ally’s past the houses. I recommend the white sand beach and the second hand bookshop nearby!

Did only go there for a nights sleep and arrived late and left early. But friendly owner and staff and great breakfast!
