Our family stayed for 4 nights in this lovely hotel, I found the property to be calming, felt very comfortable. Our room was lovely, bed comfortable. The pool was delightful and good temperature to take the heat off and plenty seating around it. The staff were lovely and especially lovely Manageress sorry her name escapes me for now. We were greeted with the best fresh orange juice we have every had. The hotel is a short walk to Mushroom Bay which is lovely with Restaurants on the beach serving nice meals. The whole Island is definitely worth a visit.

We had a wonderful stay at this villa at Mushroom Beach! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure our experience was enjoyable. They helped organize day trips and adventures for us, making it easy to explore the area, and were a great support when our son fell ill, assisting us with care.

The location was fantastic—just a short walk from Mushroom Beach, restaurants, and cafes. It was also very convenient to reach from the fast ferries, which made our arrival stress-free.

While there was some construction during the day, it didn’t disrupt our plans, and the nights were peaceful and quiet. We’re grateful for such a memorable stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Lembongan!

Would not recommend

Needs maintenance. Pool was stale. Unfinished walls and ceilings. We left after one night even though we had booked 2. Would not recommend unfortunately. Staff was kind, but it's not enough...

We stayed at the property for 4 nights , limited wifi in the rooms , shared balcony with room next door , no hot water after second day , tv didn’t work, bathroom dated , room was however clean and beautiful view from balcony overlooking the trees and water , nice little pool and staff very friendly, steep 3 min walk down to the beach and a nice selection of restaurants and warungs around , lots to do if wanted or just chill out on mushroom beach and absorb life , best beach we seen in that area

If I could give 0 star I would. The location is in the middle of nowhere, the roads were bumpy . Staff were not friendly at all. In the middle of all of that the bedsheet were dirty with stains and other people’s perfume. Disgusting. The bathroom has terrible smell, the shampoo has molds in it and on top of that the sink was clogged. Disgusting. AVOID that place!!!

Chempaka Villa is Very Quaint

This villa is very quaint. It is very close to Mushroom Bay Beach and if you get a second floor room, you can actually see the bay from the balcony. They serve a very tasty breakfast so be sure to include that in your booking. They do not serve lunch or dinner however there are several really nice restaurants down at the beach. They did room service but only if you ask them and tell them what you need (water, coffee, fresh towels, etc). I recommend you don’t try to find the villa on your own till you have been taxied there a couple of times as it is a crazy route. Enjoy!!

This family run establishment was a very pleasant place to stay. We could walk to the beach at Mushroom Bay in 5 minutes. The staff were very obliging and helpful.
As we were mother and daughter traveling, we would have preferred separate beds but we’re not able to have this as an option. Breakfast was included and somewhat limited but we found it enough for our needs.

Dsane and the staff were amazing! Rented a scooter that broke down at dinner and they immediately came down to my rescue. Also wanted to go for breakfast before my ferry and Dsane accompanied me to my breakfast, waited for me to finish eating then drive me to my ferry! A service

We really enjoyed our stay at Cempaka villa and I don't think I've stayed anywhere where the people have been so nice and attentative. They were always on hand whenever we needed them and especially for cuddles with the 3 month baby we had in the group so the parents could eat their breakfast in peace! The location for mushroom beach was excellent being a couple of minutes walk away from the beach itself and restaurants not too much further than that. The pool and Aircon were both excellent and much needed after a day out and the beds were very comfy. Our room was cleaned every day we were there. They also provided a taxi when we ventured out a bit further. If we came back to Nusa lembongan again (minus the children!) I think a scooter would be the ideal way to explore the island and the roads are so much quieter than in Bali.

Close to the beach but only by walking down through a walkway which was very dark at night. No lighting. Didn’t feel safe to walk that way at night. So needed transport the long way round. There was only internet wifi on our first day so couldn’t keep in touch with our family staying in other accommodation. It wasn’t a terrible place, the staff were polite. The room clean and tidy. But I wouldn’t stay there again. The online photos looked far better than reality.

Pros:
For the price, it’s a good stat. Small boutique hotel.
Nice pool.
Comfy beds.
Lovely staff.
Super close to the beach.
Beautiful views from the top rooms.

Cons:
Barking dogs across the road keep you awake but not as bad as busy areas.
The breakfast is so basic. And there are no other food to buy there so you’d have to buy food & drinks elsewhere.
Pool has a lot of chlorine.
The walk to the beach is bumpy and slippery so not great for elderly.
Our towels wasn’t changed at all throughout our 3 night, 4 day stay & no soap in the dispensers.

Apart from that, it’s a nice wee place to stay. The staff were really lovely.

This wasn’t quite as expected, it’s certainly not as nice as the photos portrayed. However it was fine for the price. Our room itself was clean but the bathroom could definitely do with some work - stained mirror, stained shower wall, holes in the bathroom roof and cockroaches around the sink. Also our balcony doors were wonky and so didn’t close properly which we pointed out to the staff who didn’t do anything about it. Breakfast was good for the price - lovely scrambled eggs, omelette and banana pancakes. The pool was a tad dirty but this seemed to improve when they turned the pump on. The sun loungers and umbrellas certainly need replacing. The staff were really polite and friendly, happily providing transport and even went back to the villa for us to pick up a bag we forgot which was very kind.

We left a few hours after checking in. The restaurant was closed, the pool was slippery and dirty due to a broken filter, there were spiders in the bed and the stairs to the pool were rotting. Only one other couple there when we checked in. Staff were friendly but were not available to hotels.com staff when we tried to get a refund. I think the pandemic has been hard on their business.

The place itself is chill, not far from mushroom beach then a 15mins walk from dream beach and all the good restaurants. Great value for money

Beautiful new villas

Beautiful little place to stay on Lembongan. The villa is new so everything was great. Our hot water didn't seem to last very long but we weren't to bothered with that. The staff were amazing and nothing was a hassle for them. We hired scooters from the villa to explore the island for the day and it was cheap and easy to do. Breakfast was also great.

Lovely little place by Mushroom Beach

Lovely little place, 5 min walk to Mushroom beach where you can take a glass bottom boat and choose from a number of excellent restaurants, and just a short motorbike transfer to Yellow Bridge if you want to do a snorkelling trip to Nusa Penida. We only spent one night on Lembongan but I wish we had stayed longer. Cempaka villa was great value and a good base to explore the island.

I was really nervous about staying in the island and more when I arrived. The hotel is clean and nice. I was blown away with the hospitality. It was amazing! As soon as I booked. They sent a message to confirm booking and if I was interested in booking boat with them. They responded to questions very fast. Only a few walking steps from mushroom beach. Staying in NL was actually the highlight of our trip.

The villas were beautiful. Very spacious and the bed was very comfortable! The air con was an absolute treat to come home to of an afternoon also. The best part about this place though, is the location! A 5 minute walk around the corner and down onto mushroom beach, where we had sunset drinks and dinner almost every night. The staff were super friendly, breakfast was fine, and we were able to organise scooter hire and snorkelling with ease! Definitely recommend this place!!! It’s a bargain for what you get. Thanks Cempaka, we’ll be back!

A totally fine, nice new set of villas. Really close to mushroom beach. Pushed us out of our room an hour early to accommodate a couple who wanted to check-in 3 hours early, left with a bad impression. Overall nice place, could have offered to make it better somehow but didn’t.

Beautiful villas

This place is absolutely amazing! Super comfy beds and beautiful rooms. Air conditioning was working great and TV had HBO and other movie channels. Pool area is nice too and staff is very helpful. Only bad thing was that there were lots of flies around when having breakfast so we decided to eat somewhere else during the rest of the stay. This is quite normal though at the island. Would definitely come back :) We had one of the upstairs rooms which have a big balcony, they seem much nicer than the downstairs ones.

Malheureusement, les belles photos ne justifient pas de belles etoiles.
Chambre moyenne avec ressenti d humidité, service minimum du personnel, piscine sale et sans filtration en marche et le petit dejeuner est juste horrible.

De plus, independant de l'hôtel, d énormes travaux de forages pour de futures residences ou complexes occasionnant beaucoup de bruits en journée.

Bref, sur les six hôtel de notre voyage, c est le pire.

Pas de petit déjeuner.
Aucune suggestion lors du checkin.
Accueil avec un liquide orange qui semble être un médicament saveur orange.
Pas de ménage en 3 jours et 2 nuits.
Piscine avec une eau trouble qui ne semble pas se renouveler.
Chambre qui semble être nettoyée, des cheveux dans la douche, flaque d’eau. Trous dans le haut de la salle de bains.

Pour finir, de gros rats entrent dans la chambre la nuit. Il suffit d’avoir un paquet de biscuits pour qu’ils entrent par un trou de la porte du balcon : inadmissible.
Séjours catastrophique qui s’est écourté au bout de deux nuits.

Det værste ophold i mit liv

Jeg har haft samlet 4 overnatninger på hotellet, hvilket er 4 overnatninger for meget. God lokation, men alt andet er bare for dårligt. Mug på vægge, seng, bruser. Håndvasken er tilstoppet. Der er aldrig foretaget grundig rengøring. Personalet er sødt, men det er alle indonesere. Ville give nul stjerner hvis muligt. Billederne taler for sig selv.
