This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

Some of the staff were very friendly, some were so so. No one mentioned the white tiger, Komodo dragon or piranhas so we never saw them. I think they should give a map and point things out. There was the marine park but no one ever mentioned if it was open or closed. Food was awesome. Room was so so

Atmosphere around the hotel is excellent but hotel facility and cleaning condition is very poor. Insects and bug issues in the hotel could make the room more comfortable to stay. There were few sticky floor area with ants when we got there.
