    The villa was spacious the bed very comfy. Cold aircon. Just a few minutes walk to the beach. And great cafes and restaurants. Helly is an excellent host. He even invited me to fresh grilled fish over a fire. It was delicious. I had a peaceful, relaxing stay.

    It was all perfect!

    Helly's Secret Garden was a perfect experience from the start till the end. Helly picked us up personally at Yellow bridge and even had no problem to take our friends with us who were staying at another hotel. He offered a very good scooter for a low price and even let us have it to go to the ferry and picked up the scooter again. The Bungalows itself are clean and in a good condition. The staff is great and friendly. The price is more than fair and overall it was our best booking experience in Bali and Lombok! 5* truly earned! Thanks to Helly and the whole team!

    The property is beautiful and very well-kept. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is great as it’s only a 2 minute walk to the Main Street. And best of all, the host and workers are so lovely and took very well care of me and my friend. We are very appreciative of our stay here.

    We enjoyed our stay very much, the room was clean and they left the aircon on for us so we were welcomed to a nice cool room! Really good location, 5 min walking distance to Main Street full of restaurants and beach cafes. Also walking distance to beach! Helly the host was incredibly welcoming and lovely, made sure we were very well looked after and gave us lots of recommendations! We recommend to stay here! We will be back again! 😊

    The property itself was stunning, and felt super secluded from the Main Street even though it was so close! Helly the owner was so lovely and picked us up and dropped us off to our ferry which was very kind of him. He also helped sort a moped for us to use during our stay. We would definitely recommend and would come back if we return to Nusa Lembongan

    If you are not sure were to begin your trip in Lembongan, just book secret garden! This really is a perfect little gem! Exactly like in the pictures and even better once you get to meet Helly the Host. Such a kind and lovely person, helped us with so many tips of places to go, how to book ferries, even went to the pharmacy for us when we were sick. Anything you need Helly will be more than happy to help you with. The accommodation is perfectly quiet and peaceful as its located 1 block away from main street and 2 blocks away from beach entrance. The shower is warm and you get a fridge in your room, which is a treat for the island to have your own cold drinks. So many positives about this place, just book it and see it for yourself :) Thankyou Helly and Bila for taking care of us

    Helly’s garden cottage was amazing! We stayed for three nights and couldn’t have asked for a better service from the owner Helly. The homestay itself was clean, extremely comfortable and perfectly located. Helly also went above and beyond to help us get around the island and gave us some great recommendations.

    So nice and quiet place. Just 200 m from main street and 3-400 m from the beach. Clean and well kept. Just few rooms. Super nice staff! Owner Helly took two of us on a great motor bike tour for a couple of hours and had many offers for excursions, but we had just two nights here. If we would go back, we would stay here again and do more! Also. Big rooms, comfortable beds, great bathroom. Very good for the price/cost. There were no breakfast, not a problem for us! But maybe for some travellers? The main street is packed with places that serve breakfast, lunch, dinner.. so really not a problem.

    Somehow when you arrive you feel like you’re coming home! The cottages are bright and airy and the perfect temperature despite the heat - aircon is quiet and chilled. Helly is a dreamboat. Had some great chats and he helped with everything I needed. Water to refill Was awesome and it’s a great place to chill As well as sleep. Very quiet and peaceful. You can walk to town in 10 mins or bike in 2! Lush to have a fridge and kettle too

    Beautiful, secluded property that still is in the main hub of Lembongan. Quiet and tranquil and really beautiful features. Helly was a fantastic host and so helpful organising everything around the island for us. Our holiday magic was only successful with his attention.

    I can highly recommend staying here! The whole place is super beautiful and the room is soooo comfortable. You have plenty of space and it's just perfect to rest here. The accomondation is in a quiet road but in walking distance to the main road with all the restaurants, shops and the beach. Helly is an amazing host, and one of the best ones I have ever had. He helped me with everything, arranged all the transfers very cheap and even drove me personally on his motorbike whenever the streets were flooded due to the rainy weather. Big thank you to the kindness and the wonderful place you created, Helly!

    I stayed here for 2 weeks and it was amazing! The room was beautiful, very clean and looked exactly like the pictures. The room had a well functioning AC and the shower had hot water. There was also a fridge and a kettle in the room which made it feel very homey. Helly made you feel at home instantly and welcomed to the island. I absolutely recommend anyone traveling to Lembongan to stay at Helly’s Secret Garden Cottage.

    This is THE BEST possible homestay on Lembongan Island! Helly is an absolute legend, he goes out of his way to make you feel at home. He will become a friend, not just a random host. He can arrange boat tickets for a really good price. Don't look further, just book this before it's sold out, trust me. Bungalow is beautiful, clean and cozy. The bed is super comfortable. Location is central but quiet. Everything is perfect! Thank you Helly ❤️
