It was nice and quiet . Private pool was great for children.
No restaurant on site. You were only allowed to drink in your rooms and you would definitely need a motor bike to get around.

The bugalow was quite and had av nice pool. It was only 5-6 min walk to the beach area with the restaurants. It was easy to book boat tickets and transfer to the bungalow through whatsapp.
The walk to the beach and restaurants was very steep. We had a 2 year old with us, so we had to carry the pram up and down the stairs. The road down to the beach was not very well lit, so it was a bit dark.

As soon as we arrived here, we instantly relaxed. This was exactly our sort of place to chill out and to share in the three secrets to happiness in Bali – harmony with the divine, with other people, and with nature. Our traditional dwelling (No 12) was hidden away on its own among the trees and tropical plants complete with its own plunge pool and we loved being there. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. On our first night, there was a huge amount of rain and different types of frogs called all night - was quite something. Breakfast was served in the main garden under a covered terrace of this family run property. All sorts of birds are around, including the happy chickens (which keep bugs down!). We could walk down a somewhat steep and raggedy path to Coconut Beach for a swim and a snorkel. On the Western side is Nils Warung, where we stopped to have a coffee. Looking down into the bay we spotted a turtle frolicking on the surface 100 metres from the beach ! The property is so relaxing and Balinese, that we really didn’t want to leave. The whole family was so welcoming and friendly, and Gede bent over backwards to advise us the best restaurants in the area, often taking us there on his scooter or arranging for them to collect us for dinners. We will stay here again. What a calm, green and lovely place to stay!
We were there in low season so the restaurant was closed, so our only options were to walk back down to coconut beach and take the boardwalk north towards the town and numerous Warung and restaurants or to walk in the opposite direction past the paddle ball centre to a fairly sterile shopping mart where we could buy pot noodles and nuts etc. Not a big deal though.

Love the attention of the managers and how helpful they were. I loved the outside bathroom we had the nicest view of the moon while showering. The bed was so comfortable and they cleaned the room on a regular. Its off the beaten path literally but just get a nice strong scooter and it will be fine. It was a little confusing to get there at first but other than that it was great location close to the main road to go back down the hill and close to restaurants and a pub.
Everything was fine

The property was well cared for and clean, staff were fantastic and it was a close walk to the beach.

I had one of the worst experiences at this place. The road leading to the hotel is unbelievably bad — so rough it actually gave me a back injury. It’s genuinely the worst road on the entire island, so if you value your safety and comfort, avoid it.
The room itself was full of ants and bugs, and even with a mosquito net, there were still mosquitoes inside the net and all over the room. The kettle had mould inside — completely unhygienic.
The host, Gede Darsan, was extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. We asked for a scooter, and he gave us one with no fuel, telling us to drive 200 meters to buy a bottle of petrol. Conveniently, there was already a bottle waiting — it honestly felt like a planned scam. The bike was in terrible condition, so we returned it right after fueling up. He didn’t care at all or take any responsibility.
To make things worse, I couldn’t sleep because of the constant noise — chickens started crowing around 3 a.m. every night. After two days, I was exhausted and anxious from the lack of rest and overall stress.
In short:
• Terrible access road — dangerous and painful to travel on
• Rooms full of insects and mosquitoes
• Mouldy kettle, poor cleanliness
• Host was rude and dishonest
• Extremely noisy environment, impossible to sleep
Save yourself the trouble, your back, and your peace of mind — stay somewhere else.

The pool villa was great and Gede was very helpful & able to arrange anything required. Thanks.
The hotel doesn’t serve lunch or dinner & is about a 10 minute walk to the restaurants. The walk is partially on a rough, steep, narrow road with isn’t great to walk at night.

Cute bungalows with spacious gardens and two pools. The bed was super comfortable and the staff were great.
There are so many roosters around the property so best to bring earplugs. The property is a little drive from the main beach so renting a scooter is advised. A couple taxi's cost us 150k each way.

Gede is a superb host who will go out of his way to help you in every way possible. Outside of that, the houses are great, swimming pools nice and relaxing, and close to one of the gorgeous beaches. Well recommended!

Close to Coconut Beach. Lush surroundings with a lovely pool area.
There are free roaming roosters on this property, meaning one or several roosters (hard to tell how many) will be standing right next to your window, screeching at the top of their lungs, starting at around 4 a.m and continuing throughout the morning. There is a major construction site which was located about 10 metres from our bungalow, so it was very noisy during the day as well, they should really not accept booking while this is going on. The bungalows are run down and many items such as lamps, toilets and doors are in urgent need of repair. We hired a moped and some helmets but the straps on the helmets were rusty and broken so they were not usable. Lots of greenery means lots of mosquitoes.

Our cottage at Darsan was wonderfully charming and comfortable! Very roomy and the beds were very comfortable. The 'outdoor' bathroom/shower was absolutely lovely and functional. We loved the pool and the view was spectacular, as were the grounds. The staff was also extremely helpful. I enjoyed the sounds of the chickens and wildlife at night/early morning, but some may find the noise bothersome.
The only drawbacks to the property are the lack of adequate hot water sometimes (not a problem for me but I don't have hair to shampoo) and the need to use a 'taxi' to get to the main area where restaurants and shops are. A beach and several restaurants are a fairly short walk down the hill, but the hill seems much steeper on the walk back up!

6.0 / 10.0
The staff were lovely and incredibly accommodating. They helped collect our bags from our previous villa and organised a taxi collection to deliver us to the ferry terminal. The pool was great and very relaxing. The breakfast was simple and nice.
The property location is close the beach if you are an experienced scooter rider and willing to ride down a dodgy unpaved bush track. Otherwise it’s a fair walk. Scooter or taxi is essential to get to main part of town.
Unfortunately, every night we had was disturbed till about midnight with loud live music being played at a venue close by. This isn’t the properties fault but worth taking ear plugs. The bungalow walls are not sound proof at all and infact the door had a small gap in them so mosquitoes noise enters the room.
Roosters croaked before sunrise and continued throughout the entire day, roaming the property. Again, bring ear plugs.
A local construction site behind the property burned rubbish a few times a day. This smell was awful and could be smelt inside the bungalow. Again, this isn’t the fault of the property but worth noting. I beleive this will house a Padel club which will be very accessible for anyone wanting to play.

Family run business, clean and comfy. Loved the location being in the hillside, but close walk to local beach, nearest playgrounds surf break and good coffee.

Despite its tucked-away feel, Darsan Lembongan is just a short stroll or scooter ride from great eateries, beaches, and island activities—giving you the best of both worlds. Gede, the host, is a delight and super helpful with loads of great advice.

Staff were great, got a great bike from the hotel to get around the island and room was immaculate. Loved my stay and will be back again some day :)
6.0 / 10.0
The cottage looked decent, pool looked nice.
I had injured myself on the island and we had to leave early, the owner did accommodate this and did not charge for the rest of the originally booked days - also waived the fees for bottle water (which we were not told there was a charge for in the first place), a coke from the mini fridge and breakfast (pancakes that were not rmade well).
Cleanliness was an issue - dust and ants everywhere, chlorine/limescale buildup on the fixtures, toilet did not look clean, mosquito net had lots of dead bugs in it, sheets had stains and granules in them.
Despite his accommodations that were made for us, the owner Gede was the least warm host we’ve had in our time in Indonesia so far, quite aloof and indifferent. He did not do anything wrong, per se, but his energy was just not very warm or welcoming. Seemed like he was just there to run a business, and not to be a true host.
If you do not rent a scooter or pay the high fees for a taxi ($150k IDR ONE WAY for a 5 minute drive), the location is not good for walkability, and the roads around the area are quite rough.

The villa was great. Clean and as described. The staff were awesome and so helpful. Have travelled Asia a fair bit so am used to arranging my own tours but chose to use the hotel as they offered everything available at the same market price.
The restaurant is for breakfast only. Not a deal breaker as we always travel for food but would have been an easy first night there.

Room was amazing, pool fabulous, staff super friendly, outdoor bathroom was fantastic.
Could do with some signage to the beach as this was hard to navigate in the dark for evening meal.

Spacious room, big bathroom, daily cleaning services, clean pool, nice view and location off the main road, good breakfast
Chickens can be a bit loud in the morning, but nothing that earplugs can’t fix. Perfect stay all in all

Noise from Live Music Bar at the top to hill 7pm-9.30pm most nights bothered our young children but wasn't excessive and nothing ear plugs wouldn't solve if you needed an early night.

Clean and comfortable rooms, very helpful and friendly staff arranged snorkelling tour and booked taxi for us. No request was too difficult and we were upgraded to a twin villa with private pool for the whole stay.
Amazing massage on site with ocean views. Large swimming pool very refreshing. Only short walk down the best beach on Lembongan.

We loved the pool after a walk up the hill from the beach to cool off in.
Loved how helpful the staff were in helping us organise a snorkeling tour, laundry and transfers. Bed was super comfortable, and air con was really good at keeping the room comfortable sleeping temp. The quirky outdoor bathroom was fun.
I stayed with my daughter and her kids, their two rooms were great. My room was also really nice, however I seemed to get visited by mozzies overnight. ( the others weren’t at all, so maybe I was just blessed) Not sure where they came from, as the place was shut up, and had mozzie nets around the bed that keep most at bay, but a few persistent ones woke me up each night. Suggest you have a can of spray to zap any visitors. Didn’t detract from my stay at all, just wish I had had spray on hand to deal with them quickly.
