Lovely staff
We used the reception team to book our snorkelling activities and the whole experience was amazing! The breakfast was delicious and staff were super helpful and lovely. My mum was quite disappointed there was no kettle in the room though.

Although we picked the room with not water,it didn't matter because it was so hot. Felt comfortable and staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast wasn't anything fancy.

Great place if you avoid the deluxe room.
We stayed here for 3 nights while working our way around Bali on holiday. We originally booked the deluxe villa but on arrival found it to be unclean (dusty) with plenty of mosquitos in as there wasn't a complete seal to the room. We asked to move but a suitable room wasn't available until the next night so we moved then. The hotel staff were very helpful in helping us move and only charged us half the additional room charges to move to a nicer room. Breakfast was good, the pool area is very nice and the WIFI signal is decent. A lovely location near the restaurants and the beach.

Had a great stay here due to the fact there was no tv in the room. The room we had was at the back through some lovely gardens. Staff were good and we only had one meal there due to the time it took to get our lunch meal. Found a great place down the road for dinner, so all good. The bed in the room was clean and comfortable. The pool was great and the staff brought out towels with a smile.

Small but a haven of quiet
We stayed for a week in a standard room. Mann's is not on the beach, but it is only a short walk to get there. The beach is not amazingly good, but the coral just off it is fantastic. We ate at the hotel frequently during the week and were not disappointed. The prices were reasonable, and the mixed drinks generous. The staff struck a nice balance between having a presence but not being obtrusive. The garden is extremely lovely and the pool just fantastic. The standard rooms do not have hot water but have a very comfortable bed, a fully-functional mosquito net (not always the case in some hotels) and effective air conditioning. My requests for an early breakfast and transport were honoured in a timely fashion - to the minute, in fact. Since I first visited Pemuteran, there have been 3 mosques built, so the call to prayer mentioned in other reviews is likely to be an inescapable fact of life wherever you stay. All part of life's rich tapestry! There are much grander places to stay in the area. Being based in Jakarta, the cheap airfare means I have more to spend on a more upmarket hotel, but frankly I would rather stay at Mann's. We felt welcomed and comfortable there and plan to return.

We felt really looked after at the hotel. Great location and comfortable, clean rooms. Wish the breakfast was in the inside restaurant and not on the main-road side restaurant. Their own restaurant was a bit pricey though.

I hope to go back!!
My partner and I booked our room online last minute without knowing how great this place was so it was a fantastic surprise when we arrived. We ended up staying two extra nights because it was so difficult to drag ourselves away. The town is also lovely with great restaurants and beautiful snorkelling. There is a beautiful pool, your rooms feel luxurious and private, the other guests were lovely, they have a delicious restaurant, and will serve you a fresh fruit juice or Bintang on the side of the pool.

While the hotel is nice and the staff are great the restaurant and the spa were right on a busy road so they were very noisy. The room was nice however. it wasn't convenient to get to the beach itis about a 10 minute walk to the beach but the snorkeling was very good. Hotel is overpriced for the area.

Mia & Herman are Man's Cottages!
Mia & Herman sorted out trips for us and are lovely people. The swimming pool was great - just a few metres from our bungalow (101). The breakfast was good and the restaurant served high quality food - the last night we had fish - mahi mahi with a dill, mustard & cream sauce - must be tried! Transport from & to the Airport was easily arranged ($65 AU) each way. Very good big bed and good mosquito netting. Lovely garden.

Family vacation
This was a minimalist approach. If you just need a place to sleep, the beds were comfortable. I would have liked a hot shower for the price we paid. The posting said hot and cold showers without specifying that our room only had a cold shower. The Mosquitos were also an issue with an outdoor bathroom.

Alright
The staff was very friendly and attentive. They welcomed us with a free drink, they lit mosquito coils on our porch every night, and they gave us bracelets when we checked out. They also arranged our snorkeling tour (which was great). The pool was nice, as was the restaurant. Now for the bad - the mosque a few doors down is very loud at all hours of the day (including 4 am), I almost considered switching hotels because of how aggravating this was. There is no hot water and there is no shower head, the water comes out in one stream like it is coming out of a hose. The location was alright. It is obviously not on the beach, but the beach is a short walk away. Many other restaurants and hotels are within a 5 min walk of Man's.

We arrived to Pemuteran from Lovina, and booked this hotel as a recomendation. And we were really happy to do it, so we enjoyed t'he room, pool and a couple of balinesse massatge at a very cheap price. Definitively we would recomend this hotel for the people choosing north Bali for a short visit.

Great staff and a really good basecamp
We stayed in Pemuteran for 3 days, hoping to do some snorkeling and diving off Menjangan Island. Pemuteran is an ideal basecamp to be located with a limited budget. The owners/staff at Man's Homestay are really friendly and helpful. I fell sick for a couple of days and they took good care of me, going out of their way to help.

Amazing Homestay! Totally recomment it!
We stayed 10 days in the Deluxe Bungalow. Herman and Mia did all they can to make our stay as nice as possible. The staff was very nice and as the Hotel was quiet at our stay everybody was doing an amazing job and was trying really hard. The Spa was awesome as well. We had our best massages there! Totally recomment this place. It's soooo good value for money. Glad we found it! We will be back for sure! We did some amazing trips organized by the staff. Mount Ijen midnight tour to the Blue Fires (it's a 12 hour trip but totally worth it), a Mangrove and Dschungel Tour, Motorbike hire etc. If you're lucky you can see some Leguans and Black Monkeys + lots of different birds! Around the corner there's a Turtle Hatchery. For a Donation you can release a Turtle. Such a great experience!!! Loved that! All in all there's nothing i would complain about. They are building a new guesthouse at the moment but that didn't affectet our stay. Thank you Herman & Mia and the lovely staff!!!!

Quiet and affordable.
Small but with a lovely garden and a small pool area. The hotel does not have direct access to the beach, but this is also reflected in the price. The beach is easily accessible next door. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise, perfectly nice food and also nice and quiet away from the quite busy road. Many other restaurants around, but then you have to accept some traffic noise. Would love to stay here again.

Sehr schöner Garten mit schönem Pool
Das Zimmer war sehr schön und lag in einem sehr schönem Garten mit einem sehr schönem Pool. Das Frühstück war gut, es gab aber nur drei Variationen zur Auswahl, als ich mal Bananapancake haben wollte, gab es den einmal dann gab es keine Bananen mehr. Sonst habe ich dort nicht gegessen da es sehr leer war, ich war teilweise der einzige Gast. Das Hotel liegt übrigens gleich neben der Moschee und wegen Ramadan wurde dort häufig gesungen allerdings sehr gut, so dass es mich nicht gestört hat, es war nicht so ein schepperndes Geschreie wir man es sonst kennt.

En liten del av paradiset
Fräscht, mycket prisvärt hotell i lugna Pemuteran. Poolen förgyller verkligen trädgården och personalen är väldigt tillmötesgående. Generös frukost med flera menyalternativ: Engelsk frukost, Amerikansk frukost och Indonesisk frukost. Stämningen på hotellet är familjär och trevlig, rummet som vi hade kändes rymligt och fräscht, badrummet med utedusch är jättehärligt och här finns varmvatten i duschen. Hotellet hjälpte oss att boka en utbildning i Open Water Diving och vi genomförde kursen under veckan vi spenderade i Pemuteran. Besöket på Menjangan Island var verkligen en höjdpunkt, liksom stämningen i byn, där inget hetsigt säljande förekommer vilket vi uppskattar mycket. Läget på hotellet är bra, ligger utmed huvudgatan och själva trädgården och rummen ligger en bit in från gatan så man slipper trafikljud nästan helt. En moské i närheten hörs vissa tider på dygnet, och de vanligt förekommande tupparna och byggarbetarljuden, men inget som är överdrivet störande. Liksom flera andra som bodde på hotellet under vår vistelse, förlängde också vi antalet nätter som vi bodde här - från två dagar till totalt nio!
