(Let's Get Started - And Yes, There's a Lot to Cover!)

From the moment I landed in Bali, I was exhilarated. The air hung thick with the scent of frangipani and adventure. And after navigating the airport (which, I must admit, felt like a life-or-death obstacle course – all those scooters!), I found myself at the gates of Loji Rejo.

Arrival & First Impressions – The Grand (or Slightly Less Grand) Entrance:

The outside looked… well, it looked like the pictures. A classic, if slightly weathered, Balinese facade. Checking in was painless enough. Check-in/out [express] was definitely a plus after my flight. The staff were friendly, eager to help, and spoke pretty good English. Front desk [24-hour] - that's always reassuring, right? Especially when you factor in Bali time, which somehow runs a little differently.

Accessibility: (Let's get this important stuff out of the way)

This is where things get interesting…and by interesting, I mean, a little tricky. While the entrance and some common areas seemed okay, it's not explicitly Wheelchair accessible. I didn't see any Facilities for disabled guests listed. Access may vary. Elevator? Nope. So, if you have mobility concerns, this might require extra consideration. It's always best to contact the hotel directly to confirm.

The Rooms – My Humble Abode (and Its Quirks):

My room? Let's call it "cozy." It had Air conditioning, which was a godsend. Free Wi-Fi was a MUST, and thankfully, they delivered both Internet access – wireless and Wi-Fi [free]. The bed? Extra long bed, and there was a desk (which I definitely used to, ahem, work…read: look at funny cat videos). No Laptop workspace specifically, but the desk did the trick.

I appreciated the essentials: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Desk, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Mirror, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Shower, Towels, and Wake-up service.

BUT (and there's always a but, isn't there?) the lighting was…dim. Like, "romantic dinner for one" dim. And the water pressure in the shower? Let's just say, I had a spiritual experience waiting for the hot water to kick in. The Blackout curtains were a blessing, blocking out the Balinese sunshine so I could nap in peace, or watch movies on my Satellite/cable channels.

Cleanliness and Safety – An Essential Balancing Act:

This is where I felt a little torn. The room seemed relatively clean upon arrival. Daily housekeeping was a definite plus. They did have Anti-viral cleaning products on hand, and were using Room sanitization between stays. However, the overall impression wasn't quite “spotless.” Smoke alarms were present (which, yay!), and there was Security [24-hour], so I felt relatively safe. Fire extinguisher - always a bonus. But it's not quite the same as some of the super-sanitized resorts.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Fueling the Adventure (and the Regrets):

Okay, the food. This is where my experience became a little…mixed. Asian breakfast was included, which was a decent start to the day. There was an A la carte in restaurant, along with Coffee/tea in restaurant and Desserts in restaurant. But I mostly stuck to the basics. Honestly I'm a sucker for coffee, so I did drink a lot of coffee from Coffee shop. The Poolside bar was okay. The Restaurants served a mix of Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, and maybe even a little Western cuisine in restaurant.

The Snack bar was a godsend for those mid-afternoon hunger pangs. Bottle of water, was free. Overall, the food was edible. Nothing mind-blowing, but nothing that sent me running for the nearest… well, you get the idea. I had a nice time eating at the Poolside bar, and the Salad in restaurant was surprisingly good. Breakfast [buffet] seemed to be the most popular option.

Ways to Relax – Spa, Steam, and Swimming (Oh My!):

Now, for the fun stuff! The Swimming pool [outdoor] was a definite highlight. The perfect place to cool off after a day of temple-hopping. There was a Pool with view! – so Instagrammable.

And then… the Spa/sauna! This is where I really let loose and had a genuinely excellent time. I had a Body scrub one afternoon. I was a little hesitant at first, but by the time I finished I was baby-smooth and feeling amazing. They also offered a Massage, and the masseuse was truly skilled Spa. The Steamroom was pure relaxation.

Services and Conveniences – The Good, The Bad, and the "Meh":

The Concierge was helpful. Cash withdrawal – good to know. Currency exchange was available, which came in handy. They had a Convenience store on-site, which was a lifesaver for late-night snacks. Plus Daily housekeeping.

I used the Laundry service – necessary, and they did a pretty decent job.

Things to Do – Beyond the Walls of Loji Rejo:

My biggest tip? Get out and explore! Bali is an absolute feast for the senses. The hotel provided Airport transfer. The car park [free of charge] was a bonus.

For the Kids – Family Friendly (But Assess Carefully):

I didn't have kids with me, but I did notice they had some Kids facilities, and a Babysitting service available. Overall I would assess based on your specific needs.

The Bottom Line – Would I Recommend It?

Okay, so, here's the deal. OYO 414 Loji Rejo Guest House is not a luxury resort. But it is… charming. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option with a good location, a decent pool, and a friendly staff, then it's definitely worth considering. The rooms are comfortable enough, the price is right, and you can get around easily. Just be realistic about your expectations, embrace the imperfections, and be prepared to have a truly memorable (and maybe a little messy) Bali adventure.

Final Verdict: A solid choice for the adventurous budget traveler! 7.5/10. Just remember to pack your own earplugs and maybe an extra tube of your favourite shampoo. You never know.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my chaotic, questionable, and ultimately unforgettable trip to Indonesia, specifically centered around the glorious (and hopefully not too ghostly) OYO 414 Loji Rejo Guest House. Buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Day 1: Arrival - Dust, Dreams, and a Really Weird Breakfast

6:00 AM (ish) - The Dreaded Flight: Seriously, who designs airplane seats for hamsters? I arrived in Surabaya feeling like a pretzel in a tin can. My back is screaming already. But hey, the anticipation of Indonesian food is the only thing keeping me from filing a lawsuit against the airline.
9:00 AM - Taxi Terror and Tiny Streets: Finding the Guest House was…an adventure. My taxi driver seemed to have a personal vendetta against sidewalks. Every pothole was a personal insult. Finally, after what felt like hours, we pulled up to the unassuming entrance of Loji Rejo. First impression: charmingly rustic, but let's see how the ghost situation is first.
10:00 AM - Check-In and the Initial Glimpse: The staff? Sweet as could be. The room? Basic, bordering on spartan. Okay, no ghosts yet, just a slightly wonky air-conditioner and a view of…well, mostly other buildings. But hey, it's clean! And that's a win after that taxi ride.
11:00 AM - First Bite: Java's Charm (or Lack Thereof, Maybe): I set out for some street food, my stomach rumbling after the flight. The warung near the guesthouse… well, let's just say my first nasi goreng was…interesting. The rice tasted a bit off? And I’m pretty certain I saw a chicken head staring at me from the back of the stall. Maybe my taste buds are still jet-lagged.
1:00 PM - Sleepy Sloth Mode: The jetlag hit me like a ton of bricks. I crashed in the room and slept for about 3 hours. Pure bliss. The AC was actually a savior, despite the wonky sound.
4:00 PM - Exploration Attempt (and Food Coma): Okay, back in action! I decide to wander around the neighborhood. Found a cute little coffee shop and drank some local coffee, and then had a snack. The snack? That delicious traditional snack, "wings of happiness" - chicken wings (they were great).
6:00 PM - Dinner Dilemma and Guesthouse Gossip: I was torn about heading out for dinner, so I talked to the staff. They suggested a place a little further away, but warned me it might be a bit too spicy. Well, looks like I'll skip dinner tonight.
8:00 PM - Early Night (Or is it?): I'm in bed, trying to get some sleep. I swear I heard a weird creak. Could be the aircon, could be a ghost. Time will tell!

Day 2: Temples, Tears and Tasty Treats (Maybe I will go to the temple)

7:00 AM - Sunrise and the Promise of Perfection: Wake up, ready for a new day! The sun is shining, and maybe the air-conditioner will work today.
8:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions – the Return: Okay, breakfast at the guest house. Fingers crossed for improvement! It's supposed to be local cuisine. I hope it's not the same warung as last time.
9:00 AM - Bromo Bound? Maybe Not: I was considering a trip to Mount Bromo. But the tours seemed expensive and time-consuming and after the previous day's bumpy travel, I'm not sure if I have it in me. Instead, I'll keep my options open.
11:00 AM - The Pursuit of Authenticity (and the Price of Lemongrass): I decided to hit a local market. So many smells! So many people! Found some amazing fresh fruit and a ridiculous amount of lemongrass. Bargaining is an art form here, let me tell you. I felt like I almost won a battle with a vendor over the price of a pineapple. Success! (I think. Maybe he still won.)
1:00 PM - Lunch Labyrinth: Okay, I want REAL Indonesian food. Not the "airport" version. I'm wandering around again, asking locals for recommendations. Eventually I went towards an establishment with a colorful roof. The restaurant was full, and it's a great sign. I got a plate of something called gado-gado. It was delicious. I'm still trying to figure out all the spices!
3:00 PM - Culture Shock and Spilled Sambal: Okay, this is where it gets a little…emotional. I finally got brave enough to try a new kind of food. I spilled some sauce on my shirt. It's pretty red, and it took me a while to get through.
5:00 PM - Rest and Recover: Back to the guest house for a much-needed nap. I'm already feeling homesick. But I'm not alone, apparently. I met another guest. We chatted for a while and exchanged stories. I'm glad I met her.
7:00 PM - Dinner's Dilemma Revisited: I'm just starting to feel hungry. I asked the staff for directions again. They laughed. "You never leave the guest house?" They said. I want to change for dinner, but I'm tired. Maybe I'll skip dinner again, and get some snacks.
9:00 PM - Night Thoughts and Ghostly Whispers: I'm gonna sleep. With any luck, the ghosts won't get me. Good night!

Day 3: The Unexpected, The Unforgettable, and the Unholy Amount of Laundry

7:00 AM - The Smell of Life (and… Laundry?) The guest house smelled amazing. I think they’re doing laundry, so the smell of detergent.
8:00 AM - The Best Breakfast Yet: Breakfast was fantastic, for a lack of better words.
9:00 AM - Exploring the City (Getting Lost, Naturally): Surabaya is the largest city in the province, but I was determined to get out and see something different. I took a bemo (a local mini-bus) with no idea where I was going. Naturally. I ended up somewhere I hadn't planned to go, but it was fantastic.
11:00 AM - The Shopping Spree (Maybe): I need to get some souvenirs. This, I've found, is a serious mission. I think I'll spend a lot of time exploring some local shops.
1:00 PM - Lunch and Lessons: I went back to the same place I had lunch yesterday: the place with the colorful roof. And I ordered the same dish. It was just as good.
3:00 PM - The Laundry of Life: I need to do laundry. The red stains are still there. And there are other stains appearing on my shirt. I've never been so messy in my life.
5:00 PM - The Unexpected Encounter: While I was doing laundry, I met another guest. She has been here for a few weeks. She gave me a lot of recommendations.
7:00 PM - A Beautiful Sunset. I walked outside and enjoyed the last moments of sunlight. It was a great photo.
9:00 PM - More Ghostly Whispers: I'm heading to bed early. One more night in this place.

Day 4: Departure - Farewell, Surabaya, You Magnificent Mess!

7:00 AM - Final Breakfast (with a side of Sadness): Time for breakfast. It was great.
8:00 AM - Packing Panic and the Last-Minute Scramble: I had to rush everything I have to pack. I hate packing!
9:00 AM - Last-Minute Goodbyes and Thank You's: Saying goodbye to the staff was emotional, I really loved my stay. They were so sweet.
10:00 AM - The Taxi Ride of Doom (Again): The taxi ride to the airport… well, let's just say my heart rate did not appreciate the experience.
12:00 PM - Farewell, Indonesia: Goodbye, Indonesia. You were chaotic, frustrating, beautiful, delicious, and completely unforgettable. I might need therapy after this trip.
Departure

So there you have it. My Indonesian adventure. And honestly? I wouldn't change a thing. (Except maybe the airline seats. And the chicken head. And the ghosts.)

Unbelievable Bali Getaway: OYO 414 Loji Rejo Guest House! - Frequently Asked Questions (and My Crazy Experience!)

1. Okay, seriously, what's the deal with this "Unbelievable Bali Getaway?" Is it actually unbelievable?

Alright, buckle up, because "unbelievable" is… a *journey*. The marketing? Smooth. The reality at the *Loji Rejo Guest House*? Well… Let’s just say my first "unbelievable" moment was when I saw the air conditioning unit, which looked like it was salvaged from the Titanic. *Then* the ants. Oh, the ants! I swear they had a better understanding of the Indonesian language than I did. So, believable in that it existed? Absolutely. Unbelievable in terms of luxury? Let's just say my expectations of a luxurious Bali getaway had a serious reality check. But hey, it's an adventure, right? And those sunsets... those were truly unbelievable. In a good way.

2. The rooms, are they clean? (Please tell me they're clean!)

Okay, cleaning is… *relative* at the Loji Rejo. Let's phrase it this way: I've seen cleaner, I've seen dirtier. They do make an effort, bless their hearts. Here's a tip from someone who's *been there, done that* (and probably still has the dust bunnies to prove it): pack some disinfectant wipes. Seriously. And embrace the "rustic charm" – it's a polite way of saying "there might be a frog in your bathroom, but hey, you're in Bali!" I'm not kidding; I think I heard a frog. Twice. It's part of the *experience*. Right? RIGHT?!

3. What's the Wi-Fi situation like? 'Cause I need my Instagram feed, people! (Don't judge me.)

Haha, oh honey, I *feel* you on the Instagram struggle. The Wi-Fi? Picture this: You're trying to send a prayer to the Wi-Fi gods, hoping for a connection strong enough to upload a blurry photo of your breakfast. It's... spotty. Sometimes it works, sometimes it gives you the silent treatment. My advice? Buy a local SIM card. Seriously. Or, embrace the digital detox. Stare at the actual sunset, you know, the *real* one. You might actually enjoy it. Unless, of course, you have work to do, then you're screwed. Good luck! I used my phone as a hotspot and spent half the time yelling at it when it went offline.

4. Is there a pool? (And if so, is it actually swimmable)

Yes, there's a pool! And… it’s… well, it *exists*. Clean? Mostly. Refreshing after a scorcher of a day? Definitely. My one minor gripe? The color seemed a bit… *vibrant*. Like, almost fluorescent. But hey, it's Bali! It's supposed to be vibrant! It was good enough for a dip; the chlorine content seemed healthy, and I didn’t grow any extra limbs, so that's a win. I spent an entire afternoon in that pool, reading a book, pretending I was a glamorous globetrotter. It was the highlight of my trip, actually. Forget the ants, forget the dodgy Wi-Fi, the pool... that pool was *good*. Except for the occasional leaf. And the questionable bird droppings. But yeah, good.

5. What about the location? Is it close to the beaches and stuff?

Okay, location. It's not *beachfront*. You're gonna have to walk, or, *gasp*, take a scooter. Which, depending on your tolerance for insane traffic, could be a blessing or a curse. I'm not gonna lie, I got lost. A lot. I’m directionally challenged, even in my own city. But the good news is that the area is generally pretty safe, and you'll find local warungs (restaurants) nearby serving delicious food. And the further you wander from the main roads, the more authentic and beautiful the experience becomes. Also, I made some friends! Lost people tend to stick together. It's a bond. The beaches themselves? Gorgeous. Totally worth the trek.

6. Food! Tell me about the food!

The food! Oh, the food. I'm still dreaming of the nasi goreng. Seriously, the local warungs around Loji Rejo serve up some *amazing* food. Cheap, cheerful, and utterly delicious. I pretty much lived on it. Forget the fancy restaurants! The best meals I had were eaten on plastic chairs, watching the world go by. The breakfast at the guesthouse? Basic. Very, very basic. But the local stuff? Divine. Just… be careful with the spicy food. "Sedang" (medium) means 'volcano eruption' to these guys. Learn from my mistakes! I ordered "sedang" and spent the next hour pouring water down my throat, dying a slow, spicy death.

7. What's the staff like at the Loji Rejo? Are they friendly?

The staff? Bless their hearts. They're unbelievably kind and helpful, even when dealing with my (admittedly) clumsy attempts at speaking Bahasa Indonesia. They're always smiling, always willing to help with anything. They're the real hidden gem of this place. Seriously, they made the experience. I asked them a million questions and they'd never act annoyed which is something to behold. The other guests were nice too, mostly, I mean there was the loud group but you get that everywhere.

8. Okay, so… would you recommend it? Honestly?

This is the big one. Would *I* recommend the Loji Rejo? Look, if you're a high-maintenance, luxury-obsessed traveler, maybe not. If you're looking for absolute perfection, go drop a grand a night somewhere swanky. But if you’re adventurous, on a budget, and willing to embrace the chaos and the *charm* (and maybe pack some industrial-strength bug spray), then yes. Yes, I would. It's an experience. A messy, imperfect, occasionally frustrating, but ultimately *wonderful* experience. I'm sitting here, months later, still thinking about that pool. And the nasi goreng. And the ants. And all the little things that made it… *unbelievable*. And I would go back in a heartbeat. (Maybe with a stronger Wi-Fi booster, though.)
