The Garuda Villa and Restaurant

Location amazing, breakfast good, very clean and excellent staff

No fridge in room

We picked The Garuda Villa and Restaurant as a stop on our journey because it was right in the middle of our route. The rooms are simple but comfortable, and the complex turned out to be bigger than we expected from the photos. The garden is lovely, and the rooftop offers a beautiful view. The staff is incredibly friendly, which made our stay even better. There’s also a small but nice pool—perfect for cooling off on hot days. Plus, the WiFi is excellent! In the evening, we ate at the restaurant, which had a huge selection of dishes and tasted absolutely delicious. A great place to take a break and relax. Would stay again!

Garuda Villa in Bandegoul is perched at the summit of a mountain, offering a fantastic view that’s truly breathtaking. However, due to the steep and challenging roads, a car is necessary to visit the village and the lake – scooters are not suitable. The staff is amazing, working together like a family. They are always helpful, kind, and attentive, which is the highlight of this hotel. The rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is excellent, providing a great dining experience. That said, the main drawback is the geographic location, which makes it a bit isolated. If you’re looking for peace and incredible views, this is a great choice, but be prepared for the logistics of getting around.

The main concern highlighted is the isolated location of the hotel. While the views are stunning, the challenging roads and the necessity of a car for getting around (with no option for scooters) might be inconvenient for some travelers. This makes it less accessible and potentially limits spontaneous exploration of nearby areas like the village or lake.
