Location: Great – it's right on the beach, and there's a boat service for dolphin watching right in front of the hotel. Room and Facilities: The room is a good size and simple with the basics, but the cabinet is a bit old. Bedding: The bed is okay, but the blanket is quite thin. Bathroom: There are some rust stains, but they don't affect usability. The bathtub and water heater work well Breakfast: Limited options, but satisfactory Staff: The staff is nice and friendly

We were referred to this location by a friend, it is very old and worn but bed was comfy and the ground crew and staff were fantastic and hard working. You get what you pay for, budget freiendly but no frills.

We stayed one week here. Loved Lovina. The ever happy smiling staff were always friendly and helpful and took time to learn about us, nothing was too much trouble. I mistakenly booked a room with no fridge. I need one to store my medication. The management allowed me access to their private fridge and put a fridge in my room once one came available. To me this was above and beyond good service. The pool is a comfortable temperature. The food from the kitchen is very good. We ordered a lot from the hotel and was never disappointed. Also the food and beverages are very reasonably priced. The hotel is beach front with beautiful views and close vicinity to the main part of town. I will be returning and am a bit concerned that my glowing review will make it too crowded!

Great Value
We stayed in a limited sea-view room on the second floor. In hindsight, I would choose a bungalow. We really liked this hotel for its reasonably priced restaurant and outstanding location right on the beach. It was excellent value. The room was recently refurbished and painted but strangely lacked a TV. Who doesn't at least have a tablet these days? Internet was as good as any hotel I've been to. The room was just the right size too. Other than a brief moment, shower water pressure was good enough and there was hot water throughout our stay. Hopefully, they've addressed the issues mentioned by others and it was definitely not an issue for us. The dolphin tour is good value and definitely should be done which they can arrange, though, the other local tours seemed overpriced. The hotel allows you to charge expenses to your room which I always refuse for budgeting and fraud reasons. The spectacular feast charged to my room, resplendent with copious, ahem, "vodka shooters" worth almost two nights stay, proved the effectiveness of this policy. The hotel relented within a reasonable amount of time and I am sorry that they are out the bill. I hope they require showing a room key to solve this problem in future. Uncomfortable check out aside, I would stay again. The area was less crowded with tourists than other parts of Bali but still touristy. A good area for a quieter beach holiday.

Lovina Beach Resort is in a great location on the beach at Lovina - there is a wall and gate in front of the property beach side making it safe - the beach path runs along the beach either way and within 5-10 walk you have small shops, warungs and eateries - the resort is olde style - lovely gardens - however it is quite run down (as are many after the Covid era) - we paid extra for a bungalow which are at the beach side of the resort and have air con - however they are very basic but adequate - the shower area needed a really good clean - the pool area is quite small with a few loungers and umbrellas - the pool was ok but could do with a 'detail clean' but it was good for a quick dip! The staff a very friendly - the inc breakfast was basic but nice - the other food was good and the prices were good - the restaurant area overlooks the ocean and catches lovely breezes! We came up from Kuta by car and it will take you approx 3.5 hours to do the trip - a good supermarket is 5 mins walk away

The hotel is located within walking distance to Lovina centre. The rooms are tired but functional. The restaurant has limited food and drink options. The grounds around the hotel are lovely, they are well maintained and a feature of the hotel. Being located right on the beach is a major plus. There is free parking at the hotel. The staff are friendly. The water pressure in the shower was almost non-existent which was disappointing.

Mycket bra rum på stranden väldigt lugnt med få försäljare. Bra med restauranger följ strand ner till höger ca 400 m. Bra och billiga drinkar i hotell baren endast och riktigt starka. Billiga utflykter, delfin sightseeing så boka där de på stranden försökte bara blåsa en. Skippa snorkling då det var ett litet rev och inte mycket att se.

Beautiful Lovina
I enjoyed my stay at the Lovina Beach Hotel. It is very central to many locations to visit to like the hot springs or a beautiful Buddhist Monastery just 10km away. Of course Lovina is most famous for going on a Dolphin watch, which should not be missed in my opinion! The Hotel is directly attached to the local beach and as it faces the beach you don't hear much from the main road. Many great restaurants are located just in walking distance but there are also some cheap and good "Warungs" along the main Jalan (road). Right from the hotel you can go on a long walk at the beautiful black sand (lava) beach.

Fint hotel til prisen. Servicen i restauranten var utrolig langsom, men maden var god og det er billigt. Værelserne kunne godt bruge en kærlig hånd, men man kan ikke forvent meget mere når det er så billigt. Det er en super hyggelig hotel, som ligger godt. Morgenmaden (specielt Mie gorengen og pandekagerne) er god. Wifi’en er ikke eksisterende.

Nice beachfront hotel
Lovina Beach Hotel is in a great location, you can walk straight on to the beach from the grounds and is a short stroll into the main part of the town for restaurants etc. The grounds are stunning, beautiful flowers and plants everywhere, really lovely to walk through every day. Our room itself was old, dark and dingy, but the bed sheets were clean and the air con worked great. Our outside seating area was also lovely. Breakfast is fine, nothing special, but it is lovely to sit overlooking the sea. The pool area is dated and could do with some love, but was clean and a nice place to pass some time. We booked a dolphin spotting trip through reception, our guide was great, wasn't aggressive to get in the middle of the dolphins like some we saw. He took his time and made sure we saw lots of dolphins without making us feel like the dolphins might get hurt. Definitely recommend! Overall a nice little hotel, it they spruced the rooms up with the same love they show the garden, it would be wonderful!

Lovina Beach Hotel, on the beach.
This hotel is towards the end of Lovina Beach in a property which has existed in one or other forms for over 50 years. We visited Lovina in the '80's and the area has become much more tourist orientated. We loved it as an experience during that time. This hotel is in wonderful grounds with an adequate well priced restaurant and a small but shady swimming pool. The cottages are quite tired, with some mould in the bathrooms, and well used towels and linen. There are no pool towels but if you use your room ones they replace them happily - not a good arrangement but acceptable. The verandas of the cottages are nice to sit on in early morning and evening time, there is a security guard on duty during the night. When you walk onto the beach there is a path but a short distance to the right you must climb over a high steep steps which are not safe after dark, the other way to walk along the beach is available but you must walk through a creek's water to get to the other side. After you get past either of these hurdles, there are quite a few restaurants and properties available. In answering the question of whether to recommend to a friend, I wavered, certainly the property is quite cheap but a I think others around have more to offer with little price difference.

STRESSFULL STAY
The hotel review that i read before was really fake...nothing much here except the sellers or local keep on trying to sell and really pressure you into buying something from them and i am not able to enjoy the view or the sea peacefully. Upon arrival i sat in the restaurant with so many sellers looking and asking to buy something. My daughters is even afraid to venture out from the gate to the beach. It's really so annoying. The staff in the restaurant was such a great help thou. The manager was such a weird guy and not helpful at all but the other staff was great. Never would i comeback to this awful place... big mistake...really nothing much. Hopefully the management would look into this problem...
