Unexpected Discoveries at Rumah Luwih Bali Hotel

Arrived in Bali during my much-anticipated 6-month Southeast Asia trip. Surprisingly， not many hotels seemed to suit me. However， the Rumah Luwih Bali Hotel in Gianyar， which I had no expectations for， turned out to be a beautifully serene and peaceful place， filled with love. It felt like a secret， surreal haven contrasting with its surroundings， a delightful surprise. Rumah Luwih allows you just to be a human being， shedding ego and thought. The beautiful restaurant， angelic staff， slow food， and polite service were all present. It felt like playing with angels in a happy spot from a dream. Downside: a fatal beauty here led me， and similarly my husband， to a disastrous event. Why us? I love colonial-style buildings; it's astonishing it was built only 10 years ago. Everything seemed weathered and aged as if 50 to 100 years old. My husband and I got trapped in a small bathroom due to a faulty door lock. Being someone with claustrophobia， I felt like I died but lived. The remaining 7 days of my trip were marred by trauma and stress， ruining my vacation. Beauty morphed into fear， and angels became annoying. I had to endure a difficult week with vivid memories of fear and stress. The hotel's response felt indifferent. Yet， this place left unforgettable memories and incidents on my travels. Several areas in the room were in disrepair. The air conditioning emitted an odor when off， the water didn't drain well， and light bulbs went out simultaneously. The aging hardware and furniture were disappointingly apparent. These issues should be addressed comprehensively before problems occur. Despite the beauty， the overall decay is regrettably evident. The hotel should ensure no more guests like me emerge again. I hope for improved shuttle bus service and an activated lounge with music like Bali music or Batic， creating a rhythmic atmosphere. Special mention to Steff Nanda and Yoga for their dedication， leaving a heartfelt impression. Steff Tami deserves gratitude for saving me. Dining staff Anni， Mr. Dani， and Jaya made us feel like royalty， and I extend countless thanks for their kindness. Lastly， the dear Master Chef Katok reflected guests' requests into customized dishes and engaged directly with them， a standout hospitality feature. The food was genuinely crafted with love， an unforgettable memory from Bali that will stay with me forever.
