Unfortunately, I can't add anything more to the list of superlatives and good reviews Mangku and his team have already received. I can only confirm and praise them once again. Jepun Didulu is owner-driven, and the whole team goes out of their way to make your stay an unforgettable experience. You will be pampered and cared for with that incredible Balinese charm every hour of the day and beyond. If you ever want to experience Bali as it was 30 years ago, include Jepun Didulu more than a few days in your tour, and you’ll feel that it’s incomparable and completely different from the south. Thanks to all of you for a wonderful stay !  

And then there is this head officer of the security department: A cranky lady with hairy legs that checks on you whenever you arrive or leave the cottages. She follows your way of jumping like a mountain goat, going up and down all the steps, rocks, and cobblestones in the premises with that arrogant look as if you were expecting electrical staircases. You can't bribe her with free breakfast or lunch, and you won't get any closer than the fact that she tolerates you. Her name is Mila, and she’s quite a character!

Arguably the most loveliest welcome I have had in Bali, Mangku and his team welcome you with a garland of flowers and a welcome drink very sweet ! and the biggest smiles !! Their driver picked me up from my hotel in Seminyak and its was smooth sailing all the way ! From the gorgeous tropical immaculately kept gardens to the HUGE sized bedroom ! accommodation , gorgeous thatched roof cottages elevated so you can admire the garden and views beyond, inside you have facilities to cook with a small kitchenette fridge coffee and tea making facilities and outdoor shower/bath room - I am not usually a fan of the outdoor bathrooms but this actually is half and half and done nicely ! the pool albeit not massive is a welcome relief when you have come home from sightseeing - Talking of which Mangku and his Team Driver BAGUS is amazing ! i had a specific list of what i wanted to see they organised it within seconds ! VIRGIN Beach is a must its in my opinion one of the the best beaches on bali unspoilt and beautifull still - They always offered to take me to the beach on their scooter and pick me up ! as a goodwill gesture which is just amazing ! I felt uber comfortable, breakfast simple but tasty and evening meal offerings we're also good ! you are off the beaten track here but at one with nature so expect the usual jungle critters and noise the beautiful gardens are a Gecko playground but they keep the mossies away ! I highly recommend this place especially if you want to see the REAL BALI ! Thank you MANGKU and your wonderful team always smiling offering to help - I abs loved my stay with you thanks a million JACS

Nothing everything was PERFECT !

If you want to experience the best hospitality you have ever imagined don't look further. By arrivel you get the warmest welcome you had and it does not stop until you're on your way home. The most friendly and warm people you ever met run and work at this hotel. Standing ready for you 24/7 to make sure you wil not forget your stay in one of their beautiful superclean and comfortabel cottages standing in their beautiful garden. Their job is to make you feel welcome and make your stay onforgetable with a smile on your face the whole time you are on their property and are ready to show you the way to enjoy the beautiful places nearby or far away. And the are extremely good at that. Nearby Virgin beach and the breathtaking clifs of Bukit Asah. I have been to a lot of places, this one and the staff I wil never forget. Have seen the reviews and expected a lot, stil they exceeded my expectations by miles. Thank you very much! I will surely come back.

There was nothing I didn't like, the only thing to maybe mention is that as like in the most hotels in bali, there was no warm water to shave at the sink. Standing under the nice Hot shower you forget that soon.

So nice place with so lovely staff there!!! We had a two floor bungalow with two big rooms each floor. Not just space but also very lovely dcotsted everthing. We missed nothing. Everything was cleaned every day. The manager and his staff are so remarkable friendly and help and support with every issue, even if transport or helpful recommendations for activities or restaurants. We visited for example the local choclate factory and the waterpalace as well as the beautiful virgin beach. A very special place there which we of course soon will visit again! Suksema - for wonderful four days in your hotel!

That we had to leave so soon because holiday finished

Our stay at this place was absolutely amazing! The location is stunning, and the property perfectly reflects the authentic Balinese atmosphere – serene, beautiful, and full of character. The surroundings made us feel like we were in a true paradise. What made our experience even better was the outstanding hospitality of the owner. They were incredibly helpful and attentive, always ready to assist with anything we needed, whether it was advice about the area or resolving any concerns. Their kindness and dedication truly stood out. This was an unforgettable experience, and we are so grateful for everything. Thank you for making our stay so special – we can’t wait to come back!

Mangku and his team were just wonderful. They could not have been more helpful, and no issue was too trivial or short-notice for them. The room was lovely - comfortable, clean, and cosy, and the site is perfectly set up for a relax and walkable from Virgin Beach. We felt right at home, and that’s thanks to all of the staff and the extra mile they go for guests. It’s a very special place with special people, and anyone coming to East Bali would have a wonderful stay there.

We didn’t drive or use scooters, and the staff showed incredible willingness to arrange transport (to Candi Dasa for dinner - as there are not many alternatives locally). However, we did find this expensive compared to other places we have stayed at.

Our bungalow was very comfortable and the gardens well kept.The pool is small but very clean, and the staff was great. They welcome you with a drink and some flowers !...very kind manager and employees.We enjoyed the breakfast, but be aware that they are not Restaurants or cafes in the village so you will have to travel to Candidasa.

Unfortunately the resort is on a busy road and the traffic noise is noticeable in the gardens, thankfully not indoors. Nobody mentioned the steps from the gate all up to your room and around the place, so people with mobility issues be aware.

We have just returned from our amazing 20 day stay at these beautiful tropical gardened cottages. Mangku and his wonderful Jepun family moved heaven and earth to make us feel at home and part of the family , from airport pickup and drop off, laundry, scooter hire, driver and car if needed and even arranging a car to the port and boat return to and from the Gili Islands for a 2 day excursion the driver was waiting to pick us up on our return even though the boat was a couple of hours late. Every request we had was met with a "no problem " Virgin beach was our favourite and I'd definitely recommend a scooter for getting around. The local people in the area are so welcoming and friendly. My wife and I have never felt so safe and at ease so far from home. Manur Suksma to everyone of the gang , missing you all.

Having to leave

The hotel was absolutely beautiful with lots of love to every small detail. We were greeted with flowers and drinks. Bungalows were big, ours had an open bathroom and the 2nd one a closed bathroom (as per our wish). Nice balcony to sit outside in the evening. Breakfast was super tasty with for bali standards good coffee. Staff was incredibly nice. When coming back we were greeted with refreshing towels every time. Whenever we needed sth they took care of it straight away without letting us wait. The owner even helped us arrange the ferry and was extremely nice and helped us a lot. (Good English!) Overall: awesome place - I highly recommend

If there is anything to say it would be that it's a bit off from candidasa and restaurants and almost no grab available so you need to rent a scooter (100k/day at the hotel) but it's super close to virgin beach which is awesome.

Beautiful little jungle garden with decent-sized bungalows tucked away on a hill, on the edge of the Perasi village. For quiet and serenity, this is a good place to relax, as the immediate area is not touristy, which we liked for its authentic local feeling. A motorbike or driver is necessary, which the host can provide, for access to the beach and other sites. Mangku and his team were attentive and lovely, making u s feel welcome and comfortable. They provided suggestions for nice places to eat and visit and organised a smooth and comfortable pickup from the port to their place, with convenient stops along the way to gather snacks and provisions, as the place is a bit far to walk from any convenience stores, ATMs, or restaurants. We enjoyed their breakfast (with fruit and Balinese coffee) and were glad they could also make simple Indonesian dishes if we felt like staying in due to rain or other reasons. Their driver was very kind to make a stop at the medical clinic en route as my husband had a worsening ear infection that needed attention. We were thankful for their help. The rooms and shared spaces were kept clean, and the daily housekeeping was very much appreciated. The small plunge pool was nice to use as the days were very humid and hot, and we were provided with fresh pool towels. It was nice to have a choice of AC or fan rooms (the fan rooms are bigger and prettier), and we appreciated having the large fridge/kitchenette area in the standard bungalows. Although the evenings were cooler than the days while we were there in late April for 5 nights, we liked the cotton bedding and the cotton bed sheet to stay cool and sleep comfortably during the evenings. WiFi, AC, and hot showers worked well. We would have liked more storage and comfortable seating in the AC rooms, which the bamboo bungalows provide.

It was pretty perfect - but to make it even better We would have liked more storage and comfortable seating in the AC rooms, which the bamboo bungalows provide. A fan would also be great to use indoors and on the balcony
