We are not fussy travellers but unfortunately Flowerbud is off our limit. It has fallen far below my expectation and literally turned me away on the spot. The bungalow we were shown to was not only small but run down and dirty. Mossie nets were smelly and have turned brownish yellow and got holes in them. The double bed was... More

After not doing much research into the Jimbaran area we arrived unprepared for the luxury hotels and high prices! we were travelling as a group of 6 so not only were we on a budget we also had to accommodate all of our needs. After stopping at a few places we eventually found Flower Bud Bungalows they gave us a... More

My first experience at FlowerBud in the summer of 2006 was fine and pleasant. There was no pool in those days, but there were fewer bungalows and the owner was a lot more involved in the day to day affair of the place. The food wasn't that good so we always ate next door (that hasn't changed in 2012). So... More

My partner and I arrived at flowerbud following pick up by their wonderful, helpful driver, Made. We were so impressed by the simple, handcrafted beauty of our bungalow.The lovely touches of frangipani and hibiscus flowers in our bedroom and private garden bathroom. The pool is lovely and the grounds are beautifully kept.The food in the restaurant is delicious with good... More

I recently returned from my second stay at Flower Bud. I love, love, love this place. I almost don't want to rave too much because I like that it's still relatively unknown. The first visit was at the beginning of October. I went alone and stayed at Flower Bud 2. At first I was disappointed because it is separate from... More

We stayed recently stayed 3 nights in Flower Bud Bungalows. The bungalows were cute but we found the service really let us down. They did not pick us up from the airport after emailing a transfer request through which was a stress, we then arrived at 10pm and the resort was dead to the world. They then put us in... More

To reaffirm, there are dim electrical lights in the room, no hot water shower, no a/c but fans and a very nice pool. There were some mozzies and insects in the green environment. Our expectations were met. :) There is a small safe in the room. It was clean and service was good. We stayed in Sandat at Flowerbud 1... More

We were happy with Flower Bud Bungalows. On the whole they are cute, economical and quiet. The bungalows are bamboo and wood, open to the outside through many vents and windows. The mosquito nets over the beds worked well. We did not get any bites. The grounds and pool are small and charming and right next to the Balangan Beach... More

We had a wonderful stay at Flower Bud One -- relaxing, lovely little bungalows, pool, pretty grounds -- and really excellent restaurant. Just make sure to book at Flower Bud 1, as there's a Flower Bud 2 a block away owned by another family member. That one is under construction, no pool, not as charming. The staff at Flower Bud... More
