Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed in the Ocean view B room on the top floor of the bungalow. It has wonderful views of the surf. The roof gable only has bamboo slats so the sea breeze comes through. There is a small fan, but no air conditioning, but I found it to be cool enough at night. There were no mosquitoes but they provide a large mosquito net over the bed. This bungalow has a basic bathroom with pebble floors, but it is sufficient. i loved the small geckos that live on the ceiling. The staff are friendly and I would recommend Tom’s garden restaurant which is where you can have all your meals. Breakfast was via table service and Susi was very attentive. You must try the banana pancake.

We spent one week at PONDOK PISCES in the BOUGENVILLE VILLA. I visited with my partner. The first thing we noticed was how unique this villa was. Set in tropical gardens with a lovely pool. Our villa could sleep a family of 2 adults and 2 children or 4 adults. There are 3 floors to the villa. Ground, first & second floor. We had a four poster bed on the second floor and loved it. This villa has no air conditioning so one can get extremely hot if one does not use the fan provided. It was so hot that we requested a second fan. We loved the tropical heat and controlled it well with fans. If you want a air conditioned accommodation, book one of the villas near Tom's garden cafe, which also belongs to PONDOK PISCES. We found breakfast very basic. If you want a good breakfast with more variety, you will have to pay for it. The staff were really nice. The kitchen, toilet and bathroom is a open plan type. We loved it. The only dislikes was the distance from our second floor bedroom to the toilet. It is quite a trek down the stairs if you want to go during the night, and you have to go outside then inside to the toilet. The other dislike is the stray dogs that hang around the villa. They really stunk (the smells was potent) and we felt sorry for them so fed them every day. The problem with that is you will never get rid of them LOL. One must not get bitten by any of them or you may catch rabbies. I purchased dog food and fed them. When it rains the ambient sounds of the rainfall is so theraputic. There are many places to eat nearby within walking distance. Late at night we could hear traffic noise in the distance but is was not too intrusive. We loved this villa so much especially for that pool which was perfect. We would like to try one of the villas near Tom's Garden Cafe next time we visit. This is the tropics so you will get bit by mossies and ants etc. Our room on second floor had a mosquito net and the room was very clean. If you want the feeling of freedom set in tropical beauty it has to be the BOUGENVILLE VILLA or any of the others close by. This place is paradise. Will we visit again? Yes.

We have just spent 7 days in pondok pices Riverside bungalows. The Villa was clean well appointed everything you would need or want. The staff were sweet as and went out of their way to help. Yummy breakfast delivered to the riverside every morning. Motor bike with board carrier available. The pool was cool. So 7 days here ends tomorrow...if you need a place to relax no fuss we recommend Pondok Pisces. Peace and pray for surf ..Terimah Kasih from Paul Surf Rockaway Beach New York + Mia Woolrich ♡♡♡☆☆☆😃

We stayed 2 nights at Pondok Pisces with a sea room view, and could enjoy the swimming pool from the Pondok Pisces Bungalow (located a few meters far, close to the beach). Was a great time! Nice staff, nice place, good food. Very quiet & exotic. Very good located at Balian Beach, a secret paradise!

The staff are very friendly and the food is very good. The view is good over the ocean although not waterfront. The drinks are not cheap but the Happy Hour makes them OK. The fish in banana leaf was particularly good.

This is why you come Bali. The bungalows are traditionally designed and set in amongst a rich and complex garden. The garden has been designed to give dense coverage to each bungalow so that you feel completely isolated. There is a pool set in the centre of the garden. The walk to the beach is only 300m and goes along the river. I've been back twice and wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

We stayed in a bungalow in riverside bungalows. Very comfortable and perfect for our group of 2 adults n 2 teenagers. Pool was appreciated as was the kitchen area. Breakfast delivered and eaten around the pool-perfect! 5 min to check out the surf conditions. Plenty of walks n places to sit n admire the views if you are a non surfer. Beach not really suitable for young children or weak swimmers because of strong currents. Staff very friendly. Thank you Wayan for the airport transfers n trip to Medewi for a surf. See you again.

We took note of Pondok Pisces when we ate at Tom's Cafe on a previous trip to Balian Beach and decided to stay there for 4 nights on this trip. We booked one of the ocean view second floor rooms which has a large lanai to watch the waves and relax outside. Our room was adequately sized with a private bathroom. It was older but well kept, had a large bottled water dispenser, hot pot and instant coffee set up. The ceiling fan kept us cool at night and we never had a problem with mosquitoes or other pests. (We used the mosquito net the first night but not again after that.) Our quite reasonable room rate included breakfast at Tom's Cafe. My husband is a surfer and the entry to the ocean surf area is about a 100 yd. walk down the hill. Pondok Pisces also has larger free standing rentals along the river and it is a pleasant 10 minute walk to the well-shaded pool there that ocean view room renters can also use. We ate all of our dinners at Tom's Cafe, too. The Indonesian staff was friendly and the food was very good. We chose the Indonesia entrees rather than Western choices and were not disappointed. The meals were reasonably priced as were the alcoholic creations during Happy Hour. The Friday night BBQ was really tasty and popular with folks staying at other places.
