After nearly four decades Poppies is still being discovered by those wishing to escape the glitz and glamour of grandiose hotels while expecting comfortable clean surroundings, friendly service, and Balinese charm. Spacious individual thatched cottages filled with collectors' antiques, Indonesian fabrics and a host of creature comforts nestle in beautifully kept gardens with ponds, waterfalls, towering coconut palms, and a stunning swimming pool built among rocks and sunbathing terraces, overhung with riotous bougainvillea.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Poppies cottages are hidden behind a stone wall in Poppies Lane, but go through the wooden gate and you find yourself in a beautiful Balinese garden with winding paths leading to the thatched cottages dotted around. You might even be lucky enough to meet the owner (a garden enthusiast) doing some gardening! The cottages all have their own verandah and nothing is nicer than sitting in the morning sun and eating your room service breakfast (included in the room charge)and listening to the bird song (a plus of the garden setting). The cottages are roomy and spotless, with garden bathrooms and sunken marble bath; the smiling staff cannot do enough to make your stay a good one; and Poppies restaurant is a short walk away. What more could you need?!

A wonderful memory-lane trip to Kuta was based on this charming hotel with its delightfully old-fashioned service. This is not the five-star hermetically sealed westernised environment that many hotels in south Bali strive to provide, but something rather more in tune with the indigenous heritage of the island and the hotel's establishment in the 70s. The cottages are spacious and comfortable (and the slight smell of hay and the occasional mosquito that ignores the various repellents enhance the character of the rooms), whilst the equally spacious and well equipped bathrooms, with their open to the skies gardens, are all that one could need. Breakfasting on one's private verandah is a lovely way to start the day and the restaurant across the 'gang' offers an alternative, as well as for other meals and a bar. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff ... even loaning me bathroom scales to enable me to check the weight of my necessarily repacked hold luggage! Their friendly but courteous politeness was quite charming. A couple of tips: cottage 27 is in a private and quiet location (even allowing a cat to cautiously creep in and pinch unwanted warm milk from a finished breakfast!); and, book direct on Poppies own website to get a reasonable price but including the breakfasts and transport from and to the airport., all of which may be extra if the accommodation is booked through the discount sites.

We are all more than grateful for such an apt appraisal of what we have long aspired to offer our guests - a little bit of the Bali that was so much more prevalent in Kuta when the Poppies story began almost 50 years ago, and that we feel more than ever is so well worth preserving and showcasing.

As all previous reviews have stated it’s a great place, great staff and great breakfast. Room service was great as well and just as cheap as if we were dining at a local restaurant outside. The place is so quiet considering how hectic it is outside.
We had the Xmas dinner there which was really yummy.
We booked our onward travel to Gili T from there and the staff were helpful in aiding our booking, but what I would say is that for such a nice place, the company you are affiliated with for this is below standard. We were met at the hotel and shown to a crowded mini bus with no air conditioning and no indication which port we were going to. We were on there for almost 3 hours, passing several ports making the same journeys that would have been much closer to the hotel, and then the boat we were on was the worst in the port by far. I would go as far to say that it was unsafe. The emergency exit windows were only small enough to fit a small child through, others would have had little or no chance of reaching the small doors at the front and back because of how crowded it was If something had happened and the boat had capsized or began sinking the consequences would be extremely bad, I could hear others on the boat expressing the same concerns. When we arrived at Gili T there were other much better boats pulling up so I would try to use those ones instead. The company we used began with a K but I can’t remember the name.
Obviously this is of no fault of the hotel but I wanted to make some awareness as they may consider using a different company to recommend to guests in the future!

We recently stayed at Poppies for 8 nights and had breakfast included in the stay. This was my first trip to Bali and it more than met my expectations! Poppies is stunningly gorgeous and feels like you are in the middle of paradise! It has a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere which is just what my partner and I needed. Attention to detail is exceptional, down to the evening ritual of staff replacing and lighting the mozzie coil on your veranda and giving you new strips for the plug in mozzie repellents in the rooms. Staff were extremely friendly, polite and welcoming. Sitting around the pool each day was the most relaxed we have felt in a long long time and there is no noise from outside the resort, unlike some of the other busier hotels we noted along Kuta and Seminyak. Poppies is perfectly situated in the heart of Kuta with all the liveliness that Kuta offers. We will certainly be spreading the word with our friends about Poppies - an absolute Bali treasure. Thank you so so much! Arls and Baz

We liked everything about Poppies Bali and enjoyed our stay there very much. This is like a secret garden set behind a stone wall in the midst of Kuta chaos, yet totally away from it all. The very clean, comfortable Dutch-colonial-Bali style cottages are scattered about the garden to insure total privacy and quiet. I can only endorse all of the positive comments made in others reviews, and we experienced none of the negatives. The breakfast was remarkable, you can dine in the restaurant (fixed menu) or on your terrace, at the time you pick the food will magically appear. The location is in the heart of Kuta on a lane so narrow that in one direction only motorcycles and walkers can pass. The other direction is passable for cars and vans but very tricky. Most taxis will not drive to the hotel. Some people consider the difficult location a negative, to me it just added to the charm, like discovering a hidden treasure. To hail a taxi walk the short distance to Legian. There are many cabs that pass, use Bluebird or Ngur Rai (meter). There are many good restaurants and shopping within easy walking distance, including the hotel's Poppies restaurant. The hotel is only a few hundred meters from Kuta beach.The room rates are reasonable for the incredible experience. Communication prior to travel was excellent. For touring its more cost efficient for you to prearrange your own driver/van from outside.

After an extended family holiday in Bali, I finished the trip by treating myself to a couple of nights, solo, in this beautiful boutique property. I wish it had been longer. It was heavenly. Whilst being one of the oldest, original hotels in the area, it has retained all its charm and hospitality that Poppies is renowned for. The staff were absolutely charming and helpful. The gardens are lush and well maintained, the ambiance is tranquil. The pool is not large but was never crowded. The layout of the cottages are cleverly designed so that they all ensure privacy. The rooms themselves were quaint and thoughtfully appointed..Bar fridge, sound system, TV, safe, desk, hanging space and drawers, hairdryer, kettle. Huge outdoor bathroom with shower and bath recess to step into. It’s covered in netting to protect from bugs/insects. The aircon was sufficient with added ceiling fan but not icy cold. The roof is thatched and therefore has a certain straw smell which didn’t bother me at all but worth mentioning for others to consider. Breakfast was a la carte selection and beautifully presented, delivered to cottage patio or you can dine across the laneway at Poppies Restaurant, also delightful. For late departures, there are small change rooms available with shower/toilet facilities to freshen up before heading to the airport. Added bonus is free airport transfer. I would suggest that this place is ideal for couples or solo travellers wanting to enjoy the serenity, to relax and unwind. I can’t wait to go back again.

I have been staying at Poppies for more than a decade and love waking up each morning and being able to sit on the porch in my own private garden. Being a small property you are able to get to know the welcoming and friendly staff and feel part of the Poppies family. The pool is in a quiet, tropical setting and lacks the coldness of the pools in large resorts. Pool beds offer privacy and are thoughtfully arranged in groups of two/ three in the beautiful garden area. Cottages are spacious, perfect for one, two or a third can be accommodated. I love leaving the hustle and bustle of the Kuta streets, markets and street stalls and escaping into this serene piece of paradise. The well known Poppies restaurant is 20 metres down the lane, set in tropical gardens. I have eaten here for almost four decades. Prices are reasonable and the menu offers a range of cuisines, although I prefer to choose traditional Indonesian dishes. Poppies is a 10 minute walk down the lane to the beach, to enjoy walking, swimming or admiring the beautiful Bali sunsets. I love my holidays in Poppies, coming home relaxed after a peaceful getaway.

Poppies always feels like we are coming home from the moment we enter the foyer. Yet again it did not disappoint. The staff are second to none when it comes to customer service and the cottages, pool and gardens are just beautiful. Yes we will be back again next year. I think it will be visit number 12! Don't knock Kuta until you have stayed at Poppies!!!

We arrived at Poppies last night. From airport pick up to hotel reception and room transfer, the service has been astoundingly friendly. Welcome cocktails and luggage transfer, plus pay at checkout, a warm reception. Upon entering the tatched roof hut, the room was cool and air conditioned. Having (straw? coconut?) roof, the hut does smell quite distinct, which we personally love. The outdoor garden bathroom is very spacious with insect screens installed on the roof.
Birds are singing in the morning. The garden and pool are very beautiful.
We can't wait to explore more of Poppies.

Stayed here before, it is a good hotel with excellent food and lovely grounds. It's right in the centre of Kuta but most rooms are quiet. The price no longer includes breakfast which tips the value balance a bit.

Thank you for your kind review. We remain puzzled by your observation about breakfast no longer being included. Prior to 3 years ago, our rates never included breakfast - it was always additional, and a la carte, either using a menu with prices that was completed and hung on the doorknob, or guests could eat breakfast in our restaurant. Since 3 years ago, and across all the online travel agencies, as well as our own website, there has always been a choice between Room Only and Room with Breakfast. Your booking was clearly selected as Room Only.

Never cold, but always refreshing. We have made it our habit to end every trip to Bali with a stay at Poppies. We don't like Kuta, but Poppies gives you immediate access to all the Kuta shopping , pubs and restaurants without compromising the quality of your stay.
There are more places to choose from in the Kuta area.
