The Open House Jimbaran Bali

If you’re looking for a place in Jimbaran that feels like home but better, The Open House is it. This intimate hotel offers a sense of calm and authenticity that’s a breath of fresh air compared to the big resorts nearby. From the moment we arrived, the staff were impeccable—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. A special shoutout to Cening, who went above and beyond, Eka for keeping us laughing, and Nura Hari for the incredible food. Speaking of food—don’t leave without trying the tacos and nasi goreng! Every meal was delicious. The hotel helped organize some fantastic activities for us, including a visit to the local fish market and a cooking class (highly recommend!), plus a driver to explore nearby attractions like Uluwatu Temple. The rooms? Spacious, spotless, with a comfy bed and a great shower. The pool was lovely, and the massage was pure bliss. If you want a peaceful, personal, and truly special stay in Jimbaran, this is the place. We’ll be back!

The Open House is just that, off the busy open traffic into a delightful small tranquil reserve. Open arms welcome you warmly along with an enthusiastic highland terrier waggling tail, a great hit with the children. Effortlessly the concierge service relieves in of their luggage to the rooms, completes the registration process whilst being served refreshments at their open space beautifully designed Balinese style restaurant with open kitchen overlooking the pool. This is the central hub of the courtyard . Lined in one side by lush local flora upon which the rooms either open on the ground floor or their balconies face, the restaurant at the head and at the end the open library, massage and wellness spa pavilion. The rooms are spacious well lit, studio style, dimly yet tastefully furnished in the Balinese style. Great shower, great air con albeit too. The kitchen had a fixed a la carte menu, that was deliciously flexible to cater to the nutritional needs of fussy little eaters, and even my coeliac gluten free wife. The staff, and of course the proprietor, seen watering or clipping the jungle garden, are amazingly friendly and helpful with all aspects of one’s stay but advice on local sites. Jimbaran beach and multitude of restaurants are 100m from the door. The fish market, a highlight of our holiday simply awesome at 0700 when the small traditional boats come in with their catch. Checking out, simple, sad goodbyes after two final nights on Bali with the hotel organised car to the airport that took 15mins at 15Euros added to the bill. Great value.

The best thing this hotel has is that it is close to Cuca, an excellent tapas restaurant. Breakfast is good. The hotel has a decent restaurant, a massage parlor, a swimming pool. Our room has a terrace. The staff are very good and the room is clean. Service is very good. The hotel is almost next to the beach but when we were there the beach was not clean.

Overall the property was very nice centrally located close to many restaurants and shops that you easily walk too . Rooms very clean, staff is very accommodating and helpful. Did not get a chance to try the pool out but I did get a massage poolside which was nice except not as relaxing when kids are playing in the pool.

Quiet area. Very friendly staff. Relaxing pool area with nice music from the cafe/restaurant area. Breakfast was a la carte - I recommend the omelette with side of mushrooms. Rooms are nice size, and pretty aesthetic. Very calming. I liked the local area, there are heaps of seafood restaurants around the corner, and local fish/produce markets. Would definitely come back.
