Ponder Bali Canggu

Very peaceful and clean

Nothing it was all good

The villa’s cute pink aesthetic

The kitchen sink smelled kinda bad and there was a noticeable stain on the sofa bed sheets

Good location , close to the center of Pererenan but in a quiet street. Good room size, although much smaller than what the listing says. Helpful staff.

Cleaniliness and maintenance could be improved. The pools were often cloudy, room cleaning every 2 days but not well made. Very basic kitchen amenities.

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.
