Great for a one night stay to experience the animals right outside your room - alongside an unrushed explore of the park and dinner in the restaurant beside the lions. Bed was a bit hard for our preference, other than that a comfortable and pleasant stay.

The room has the perfect view of the animals, and you get to feed them with the food provided by the hotel. Imagine swimming next to Rhinos! The safari itself was a jewel, did not have enough time to explore the whole resort but I was able to see the elephant and tiger show, and I also did the night feeding, definitely a tremendous experience.

6/10 Okay

Overall, our stay was good. Food at the hotel was good quality, but not as great as some of the other places in Bali for the same money. Rooms were clean on the surface, but could use a deep clean and a bit of a renovation in some spots since they are showing signs of wear and tear.

I loved my stay! The room isn't brand new, and there's some wear and tear (the towels were HORRIBLE---stained, ragged, I didn't use them on my body/face), but overall the room was in decent shape, and the view/balcony was worth it. I like that the room comes with food to feed the animals (giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests were near my room). The room is spacious. Even though there's no elevator, getting to upper-level rooms is easy peasy because there's a ramp. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend others to check out this unique property. FYI- Dinner at the restaurant can get crazy with the Night Safari folks rushing in and around to eat and make their event times.
