Although the rooms hadn’t been upgraded in the 12 years since I stayed last time the experience was still exceptional and animals were amazing

This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most

Everything about the mara lodge was amazing. The staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Out of my many stays in Bali this was far the best.

Magical experience! Worth every dollar.
Judith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

Amazing stay over looking loads of animals. In an authentic Villa. Spent the whole day walking the safari park. Did the night safari. You have to do it to believe it. This place is so interactive with the animals.

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

The staff were all excellent, I loved my grill Salmon, the best I had in Bali. The fire show was entertaining. i enjoyed feeding the giraffe, the breakfast with the lions could be better, they slept the whole time,. A staff member showed me lions in the toilet so I was happy she did.
Irene, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a great time, but mainly for the Taman Safari
The main attraction of the lodge is that it is attached to the Taman Safari Park which showcases an amazing array of indonesian, indian and african wildlife. The journey thru the "safari lands" in special buses is outstanding and the park caters to all ages and I think a must see for any visitor to Bali. Now to the lodge itself. Its a great concept and well executed however long overdue for an update. As an example the suite we stayed in cost NZD$800 per night and and iniitally we were wowed. That did include 2 complimentary Safari Journeys to be fair. However on closer inspection our phone stopped working, internet was really patchy, the mosquito screens in the bathrooms were damaged, one of the bathrooms had a leak in the ceiling, the shower slide kept dropping down, etc etc. Still on the negative it was hard to get information on what activities and what facilities were provided. A QR code was provided but was updated and the WiFi situation made it hard.On the plus staff were excellent, food was very reasonably priced for a hotel, and goid quality.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Some of the staff were very friendly, some were so so. No one mentioned the white tiger, Komodo dragon or piranhas so we never saw them. I think they should give a map and point things out. There was the marine park but no one ever mentioned if it was open or closed. Food was awesome. Room was so so
