One of a kind!!! Must visit :)
1-night trip

An absolute must do for any animal lovers or families with kids! We had an amazing experience - African animals roaming around just outside your bedroom, safari tour, infinity pool, animal shows, breakfast with the lions and meerkats, friendly staff - what’s not to love!

Everything about the mara lodge was amazing. The staff were so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Out of my many stays in Bali this was far the best.

This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

10/10

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

It was a fantastic experience staying at the lodge! Surrounded by wildlife animals every moment! Didn’t expect to hear lion’s roar while resting in the bed! They even provided carrots in room to let us feed the animals from the balcony! Dinning with lion was also exciting, the lions were very active and came close to the guests to interact! The staffs were super friendly they even surprised us with a birthday cake! The room was spacious and well maintained! Everyone was happy staying in the lodge.

The staff were all excellent, I loved my grill Salmon, the best I had in Bali. The fire show was entertaining. i enjoyed feeding the giraffe, the breakfast with the lions could be better, they slept the whole time,. A staff member showed me lions in the toilet so I was happy she did.

Amazing set along side of the zoo being able to throw carrots to the zebras. Watch them walking around. Breakfast with lions walking past the windows was very cool. The buffet breakfast was lovely. We paid for the buffet dinner and watched the fire dance.. very nice. Catching the tour bus thru the zoo was fun followed by a day exploring the zoo . Getting to pat and touch/ hold several animals and get photos with them AMAZING… best part of our trip was coming here got to feed one of the elephants… nice area

Atmosphere around the hotel is excellent but hotel facility and cleaning condition is very poor. Insects and bug issues in the hotel could make the room more comfortable to stay. There were few sticky floor area with ants when we got there.
1-night trip

8/10

The main attraction of the lodge is that it is attached to the Taman Safari Park which showcases an amazing array of indonesian, indian and african wildlife. The journey thru the "safari lands" in special buses is outstanding and the park caters to all ages and I think a must see for any visitor to Bali. Now to the lodge itself. Its a great concept and well executed however long overdue for an update. As an example the suite we stayed in cost NZD$800 per night and and iniitally we were wowed. That did include 2 complimentary Safari Journeys to be fair. However on closer inspection our phone stopped working, internet was really patchy, the mosquito screens in the bathrooms were damaged, one of the bathrooms had a leak in the ceiling, the shower slide kept dropping down, etc etc. Still on the negative it was hard to get information on what activities and what facilities were provided. A QR code was provided but was updated and the WiFi situation made it hard.On the plus staff were excellent, food was very reasonably priced for a hotel, and goid quality.
