Ponder Bali Canggu

Location was good, outside the heart of Canggu which was perfect for us as it’s only a 5 min gojek to everything. there was some nice little cafes and spas that were just up the road too.

The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner, but for the price we paid i’d say it was worth it.

Location and cleanliness

Facilities

The decoration was cute and the place as well located The staff was absolutely adorable

There was a lot of noise that isolation was not good, I was on the top floor and you could hear the wind all the time because of bad isolation. Overall, I would say very noisy mostly in the morning. My room didn’t get cleaned during my Stay and I stayed three days. I didn’t really understand why.

Such a gorgeous pink pool area! The way the rooms’ terraces are designed around the pool is lovely. Walking distance to Crate is handy and the street is pretty. Close to a handful of cafes and gyms and a fifteen minute walk back around to the main Pererenan strip.

There’s only downlights and no lamps. While aesthetic needs a few practical features like evening lighting, especially lamps on the bedside tables so you don’t have to get up to turn on and off the lights. The hard pink stools on each terrace are not designed for comfort. Comfortable seats or day beds on the terraces would make the area so much more welcoming and usable. The bathroom tiles were not clean when I checked in, where the towels hang they were covered in drip and dirty marks and the grout needs a good scrub. There are holes in the bathroom walls that mozzies and noise comes through so keep the bathroom door closed. The walls are also thin and you can hear nearby traffic. The staff were a little unprofessional and can be quite noisy throughout the day and sometimes night. I had to text the Ponder WhatsApp at 1:19am one night and ask them to be quiet because the staff member on duty was talking loudly on the phone. The curtains do not block out the outdoor lights at the top so it’s difficult to sleep before they turn off the outdoor lights. Although I enjoyed aspects of my stay I slept terribly and wouldn’t stay here again.
