Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is convenient and the room was comfortable. The internet service was not good. The breakfast service was limited and only ok. The pool looked dirty and there were construction workers all the time. The hotel is a nice hotel but the lack of attention to details and lack of quality make the experience only average.

I had a great stay at Hotel Diuwak! The highlight was definitely the beautiful pool—clean, spacious, and surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming. I’d definitely come back!

Good value for money. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel shows its age but is in good condition, very clean rooms and has a nice pool and duck pond. I would definitely recommend it as it is good value for money.

We stayed for the first time, and were very pleasantly surprised by the grounds and the pool area. The staff were all lovely and helpful. We especially connected with Ronald, his family and the staff who run the restaurant, they really took care of us. Thank you for everything. We will definitely be staying again.

The hotel location is very convenient, the staff is very kind, the green areas and pool is well maintained. Breakfast was good. However my only big complaint will be the mattress. I have never slept in a harder mattress than the one in here. It was like sleeping in the floor and the two nights my bf and I slept here were pretty rough.
