I found three different types of mould in my room, I heard staff on walkie-talkies outside my bathroom, anyone could see me showering if they simply looked through the dilapidated and decaying wooden blinds(they had gaps in them and some aren’t properly fixed to the walls). When I checked out on my first evening, a member of staff got the manager on the phone who said if i cancelled the reservation I would be able to get a refund, then hung up on me. This was literally untrue, I am yet to get a refund, nor have I been able to cancel the reservation online as the first day had began. Pictures suggested a nice basic room, they failed to highlight the decaying state of the room, or the rust coated shower heads that poured out metallic tasting water. Unfortunately, I am not able to recommend this hotel, as at least in the case of my room, the weak AC and smell of mould left me with a lukewarm and noxious room that gave me discomfort in my chest within 2 hours of being in there. There was literal brown filth coating all the light switches. I’m not sure if the rooms are cleaned more than with a cursory vacuuming and mopping. If you do not mind a dirty room, and mould, then by all means, visit here. Do know though that the doors are VERY flimsy, and the wooden bar that is supposed to bolster them literally cannot be used with the door locked, as the lock keeps it from being able to slot over the door with both sides secure. Anyone could barge in with slight effort.

Salty showers
The hotel itself is pretty (similar to the photos) and the staff very kind. However, I was very disappointed with the hotel. The room was large and spacious, but there was not even a curtain to separate the shower from the room. When you showered, water got all over the place outside of the shower. There was no fresh water.. all water from the sink and the shower was salt water. The water pressure from the shower was also low, and there was very little hot water. We had just arrived from traveling and being sweaty so we were looking for a quick shower upon arrival, so not being able to shower properly was quite annoying. Although they offer a small jug of clean water when you arrive, they didn’t have bottled fresh water, so be prepared to bring your own. They had no towels when we checked in. The AC in our room barely worked (only a slight noticeable effect and room was still hot at night). I don’t blame this on the hotel, but there was nearby construction going on, and the workers started hammering at 8 AM. In conclusion, I don’t think the one night we stayed was worth the price we paid. It’s not nice to shower in cold, salt water and at a bare minimum, bottles of water should be made available at reception (even if only available to purchase).

Great and relaxing solo travel experience
Great and sanctual little spot in Uluwatu. I thought this property was well suited to a solo (which is rare) with many great common spaces including library, pool and bar. Super helpful and friendly service and spacious rooms with all you need. Central location and right next to Bingin beach, you’re able to rent scooters through the hotel and explore nearby spots including Dreamtime beach, Bingin, shopping and about 10 minutes away from single fin etc.

For Bali prices, I think this property is too expensive for what you get. The rooms also look a lot nicer in pictures than they are in real life. However, I will say that the location is lovely and very quaint, with super cute spaces throughout the property for you to chill and get some relaxation. The staff is super sweet and very accommodating. I wasn't very happy with the room I was given upon arrival and they upgraded me to a bigger one with no change in price. The location is walking distance to Bingin Beach, which is nice. Uluwatu is a beautiful place in general, so you're guaranteed to have a lovely time regardless of where you stay.

--the place is a little worn around the edges, but it has a really charming aesthetic, especially in the common/lounge/pool areas --really amazing service when I had some difficulty --only real issue I had was that sometimes music from the hotel bar was played to loud, and this could be heard in some of the rooms

I realise that this is a challenging time during the pandemic, but it would have been good to know in advance that there is no food available at the property and no staff after 5pm. I had understood from the description that there was a restaurant and breakfast was available - I was there with my children and not being able to order food, made it quite challenging for us and the hotel team offered us no solution (I know that gofood or grab are an option - but this was not possible for us on that day and the staff could have offered to help us out). Also the air conditioning could do with a service as it wasn't working and the rooms were very very hot. While one of the hotel team was very helpful, the others just seemed very uninterested, tired and not at all willing to help us. I'm sorry, I don't normally leave reviews - especially negative ones but given the price we paid, and having lived and stayed in many hotels in Bali for more over 10 years, this was really disappointing. It really is a beautiful property and in normal times, I'm sure the service is great - it would have been great if we got better treatment.

We arrived to Boho with great expectations, but pictures and the description of hotel amenities were deceiving. We booked a 2 single bed room; we got 1 bed and one mattress on the floor. AC did not work, we reported but nothing was done “because you need to report it to the maintenance manager” but he was never around.. Ceiling fan was broken, clap, clap, clap noise all night long. Staff provided us with a pedestal fan. Thank you, it worked. Pool area is nice Breakfast was okay with healthy options. Overall, it is a nice place but needs work on customer services and little maintenance here and there.

This is a stunning place to stay made even better by friendly helpful staff. We stayed in one of the 'lodge' rooms which was simple but very comfortable, clean and cool. The room AC worked well and the minibar was restocked with complimentary drinking water and beer/coke at normal prices. I'd recommend making use of the massage in their spa and the scooters: both great value. Breakfasts were consistently delicious. Apart from the pool there's lots of quirky communal spaces to hang out with a cocktail form the bar. The only slight negative is some early morning noise from local livestock (cows/dogs/chickens) but nothing major. Overall a beautiful place offering warm hospitality and a great alternative to one of the anonymous chain hotels. (Stayed for 9 nights in early October 2019)

Beautiful hotel, highly recommended!
My friend and I stayed here on our trip to Bali and honestly it was one of the highlights of the trip! Such a beautiful hotel with loads of personality and cute touches/attention to detail. The staff were amazingly kind and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. The manager also recommended that we visit Thomas Beach, which was really beautiful - thanks so much! I have already mentioned to several friends and family how lovely our stay was and would not hesitate to book again.

The property was beautiful, and the pool and breakfast areas were really nice. The common spaces were great. Our room was not totally what we expected, when we booked a superior room, and ended up in a ground floor room that was quite dark and basic. The ac worked, but not that well. Very friendly staff.

On first glance, it’s a beautiful bohemian hotel. But then you realise it’s aesthetic over practicality. Shame. Air con units placed next to gaps between roof/wall, so cool air escapes immediately and rooms stay unbearably hot (shouldn’t be advertised as having aircon!). Toilet in bedrooms/common areas have lovely old wooden doors, but they’re stiff and make loud creaky noises if you try to open/close (not great if sharing the room with another person). Rooms need a proper clean (floors were dirty + we had dozens of ants caught in spiders web directly above our toilet flush and cleaners never noticed). Some pathways to rooms were muddy so very slippery when it rained. While the receptionists are lovely, other staff barely understand English. Food at breakfast was disappointing, when you can find such great food nearby. The only real positives were the linen/ towels smelt great, so their laundry team do well. Overall this places feels like the neglected hobby of an interior designer who thought they could dabble in hotels... they need to get the substance right. They have a great venue, it just needs some care & attention to detail.

Superbe séjour dans un hôtel plein de charme
We were looking for « un hôtel de charme », peaceful and with a good quality of service. That is exactly what we found at Boho Bingin and even more with the kindness and availability of the entire staff. A special reward to the Chef for his delicious and original cooking. The best breakfast ever !

Sharing is caring
We enjoyed our stay at Boho Bingin. We reserved the deluxe apartment that was actually a room that had a shared space with another room. The shared space had a full kitchen. We did not know the guest who we shared the deluxe apartment with. The view from the room was great but it was extremely hard to cool the room because of the building design. The staff was friendly and helpful. If you’re traveling to the area and in search for the a community/sharing vibe with all guest, this is a great hotel for you. If you are looking for privacy, I don’t believe this is the best hotel to choose.

From the minute we arrived, we were made to feel like part of a family. There is such a beautiful relaxing vibe here, and the staff were incredibly attentive to our needs. They helped arrange a scooter for us, gave us the best tips on where to go and where to eat in Uluwatu, including the best beach for swimming and chilling. And there are even great spaces at the property to just relax, lounge on couches or in the hammock, lay by the pool and drink cocktails, and just enjoy the serenity. It is also very conveniently located and close to everything whilst being secluded enough to be tranquil. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute place to stay, lovely pool.
Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly, nice welcome drink and beautiful pool. The hotel itself is so beautiful but the rooms were not the comfiest... little things could be done to improve but overall had a good stay it was only one night. Loved it was only a 5 minute walk to Bingin Beach. Found the bed quite hard and the mosquito net too small. And the bathroom is sort of open plan with the bedroom. The room was advertised as “deluxe apartment with ocean view” but it was actually a double room with shared lounge/kitchen facilities with a room opposite and a pool view not ocean.

An absolute gem of a hideaway
Whilst visiting family in seminyak I booked this place last minute to go visit a friend who was staying in Bingin. We all know how photos can be deceptive but Boho has a far prettier than it appears in 2D. From the moment I arrived I was treated like family. All of the staff remember your name and are extremely helpful. Special shout to Cisco the Manager for being a great host. Seeing that I was travelling alone he invited me out for dinner with some of the other guests and we had a fantastic night if Portuguese food and later a trip to a club on the cliff top. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere, comfortable rooms and lively food. The beach is a short walk away and you are 4 mins on a bike from plenty of other restaurants and bars should you feel the need to get out f the hotel which, to be honest, I didn’t! I would love to go back for another visit. Delightful.

Loved the stay! Although there are some room better than others. Avoid tropical 4 it feel a little small. We asked and moved rooms and the other one was amazing although no view still a lot nicer! Staff at in the restaurant are really nice and helping. The pool is great surrounded by flower. It’s quite luxurious :) And food is good too decently priced. Hotel is 10min walk to the beach 🏝 All in all would go back again

BEAUTIFUL place! Perfect for all your Instagram and FOMO shots! The vibe at BoHo is very peaceful--you could literally stay at the pool all day. Unfortunately we had too much to see in Uluwatu that we did not get to spend enough time here. The staff and owner are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area--the owner even told us about the surfing championships that were going on close by! It was a great experience.
