Breakfast was not as good as previous years but it is adequate. The grounds are well kept and are lovely. The rooms are old and dated and need a refresh. The location is excellent and so too is the price.

Grand Kumala is old but it is great value. If you can accept a number of deficiencies in the rooms then it is worth the stay. The staff are lovely, the pools fine (can always get a sun bed) breakfast is basic but more than adequate. No kettles or toiletries so bring your own. Beds firm. Rooms serviced daily. I had no problem with internet. Will be staying again.

Loved our stay at Grand Kumala. Rebooked for March next year. The bathroom could use a good scrub and the beds could use a mattress topper but we loved it … the staff, the location, the simple but ample breakfast, the pools, the food and service were amazing .. definitely recommend if you like Bali style living 👍

We had to change rooms several times due to lack of maintenance and cleanliness in some of the rooms. The rooms had broken showers, basins taps, air conditioners, and mould problems. We have stayed there before and some rooms are better than others but you have to be lucky!
There is a very rude male staff member at breakfast who needs to learn how to speak to guests in a more polite manner.
However the pool and restaurant are quite good.

Great budget option

This is a great budget option. Although it is much more enjoyable in the quiet season than the busy. Clean enough. Good breakfast. Location is great. Could do with some more maintenance. But for the price it is alright.

Fair price, good value

First time in Bali, didn’t know what to expect. Hotel was inexpensive, had air conditioning. A little run down, but they are working on it. Breakfast included, just fruit, eggs and bread with juice, coffee or tea. Also something Indonesia daily. Comfortable enough and pretty close to beach.

we have been staying at the kumala for 15years we like it because it's quiet and does not attract the bring home the party from Kuta type the only thing that faults it is there is little upkeep and there is always issues as long as you can live with that it's a great hotel

My room was spacious with good cupboard /wardrobe space. It was lovely to have a choice of 2 pools. The back one in the best condition. The breakfast was good. The menu for other meals was diverse enough. Staff were great. The only problem i had was that you need to hire fridge seperately. Another customer told me about this arrangement or i wouldnt have known. Also no tea/coffee making facilities in room.

I loved the pool but one if the step ladders were broken when we arrived. My mum is disabled and i mentioned this in our booking. They had us upstairs in a room. Which was filled with mould. We moved downstairs by the other pool which was nicer. But on expedia it showered two twin beds and we only had 2 singles..

the standard room we received was horrible, dust on the furniture like nobody were living there fo 5 years. Shower was so rusted that the water was not running and I could not make myself wet beside the fact it was cold. no wifi reception whatsoever. Next day we spoke with the receptionist and they moved us to a better (the one that was on the picture for the standard one that made us to book it in the first place!) wich according them was higher class... and we had to change our room at some point of our 2 weeks stay to a the similar one.... the pool was not always clean and food is quite bad. Would not recommend, they really cheat providing the wrong pics of the room....

First stop upon arrival

When coming to Bali use the Kumala as the first point of call. Small tradional
hotel with beautiful gardens and two pools. Excellent breakfast to start your day. Quiet location but close to shops for fixed price Sarongs (idr 30,000) Laundry (very cheap and excellent result) soft furnishings (cushions, table ruuners etc) made to order across the road. Top value for price Bagus, Bagus, Bagus!

Balinese charm near beach, bars and restaurants

Nice pool, garden, restaurant and Balinese charm are what make this place appealing. It is also close to the beach. No shortage of great eateries and bars nearby,

For all its nearby amenities, its location is problematic - the traffic outside is almost stationery in the afternoon and evening, it could take as long as one hour to get to the main Jalan Legian, something to consider if you are in a hurry to get to the airport. Which means for getting around during your stay it is best to hire a motorbike.

Hotel needs a major renovation, especially section closer to reception, known as Kumala Bali. Much better to pay the extra and stay in Kumala Grand at the back.

One big negative is the wifi, it worked well only in the front lobby. Do not attempt to download Netflix there.
