“We had such a wonderful time at The Golden Buddha and Sojourn Ventures was phenomenal in making it happen. Elizabeth answered my unending stream of questions to help me feel comfortable before leaving. Once we got there, We had an amazing time! Yogi was so gracious and patient with all my questions. The staff were all phenomenal. Tony and Whiz took great care of us and making amazing drinks. I think we’ll go back with our friends that won the package for another auction! We went to the Gates of Heaven, Monkey Forest, Water Palace. Watched the sunset a some great bars. “

We give it a 10/10 rating and highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an escape to paradise!”

“Our trip to the Golden Buddha in Bali was so special. The staff took such good care of us. We really enjoyed the communal atmosphere of the cottages and enjoyed sharing our experiences with our neighbors. Wiz and Odette were the most gracious hosts. Wayan was our attentive driver. It was a unique and wonderful experience.”

-Carrie S.

“We had the experience of a lifetime staying at the Golden Buddha in Bali and none of it would have been possible without the help of Sojourn Ventures. Everything was communicated and coordinated perfectly. When weather canceled our flights, the Sojourn Ventures team was quick to help! Once we arrived in Bali, we met the most attentive and kind humans you will ever encounter - the team at the Golden Buddha!!

We can't wait to visit again!

PS - Don't let the "RAINY" season scare you - yes, it rained nearly every day but it was often brief and made everything so green. We were still able to do all outdoor activities and experienced top notch service not having to compete with the busy season tourists.”

-Emily B.

“Bali for us is not just a vacation destination… an experience. Along with nature, ocean, beaches, weather, food, heritage/culture, historical places, spirituality it is also “the people” - warm and friendly - who made this experience cherishable. The Golden Buddha resort in Amed, Bali has an excellent staff managed by Sojourn Ventures. Everyone was so eager to serve and goes above and beyond in their services. All kinds of amenities are available to have a rich and satisfying experience during the stay. We look forward to visit again someday :)”

“Words are not sufficient to describe our trip to Bali and the Golden Buddha! The staff at the resort was wonderful, very helpful and very willing to visit with us. We had great conversations! The food was phenomenal - the decorations for "our dinner," so beautiful. Reggae was especially great driving us all week and answering a couple thousand questions a day! He sat with us and planned out the best way to see everything we hoped to see. The accommodations were beautiful - beautiful grounds and really pretty room. We love to travel and when we do, we want to know all about the culture of the place we visit. Our experience in Bali did not disappoint; we found ourselves gratefully and completely immersed in the country, its people and their way of life. We loved EVERY minute! Thank you for answering all our questions in preparation for our trip. It's a trip we'll never forget!”

-Kathy E.

“The time at Golden Buddha was amazing. The staff was excellent in all ways. They went above and beyond and made us feel at home right away. The property was wonderful. The team set up interesting excursions. Really enjoyed the food and massages! I would highly recommend Golden Buddha”

-David T.

“This is a lovely spot and will give you an opportunity to see another part of Bali. The staff are some of the nicest people on the earth!”

-Anne R.

“We had the best time ever on our trip to Bali. We loved our villa at the Golden Buddha. Comfortable beds, outdoor showers, and massages everyday! What a treat! Our driver for the week was amazing - more like a personal tour guide than driver. He had great suggestions for sightseeing and was really fun to snorkel with. He made our trip so much better than we expected. The whole staff at the Golden Buddha were wonderful - so friendly and so helpful. We really could not have had a better time.”

-Jayme P.

“Amazing staff who are extraordinarily attentive to guests. They are quite helpful identifying places to go and things to do that a visitor might not think of on their own. Our driver came up with great ideas, while being supportive of our ideas.

Our room was spacious and had a fabulous outdoor shower large enough for two. We thoroughly enjoyed the room. The resort is small enough that the pool is not far from a guest's patio.”

-Bill D.

“We had such a lovely time of relaxation and rejuvenation at the Golden Buddha in Amed, Bali. The staff was amazing and so attentive. We can’t wait to go back!”

-Rebecca H.

“I only have good things to say about my whole experience. First, our Bali vacation had to be delayed a couple of years longer than expected due to Covid and quarantine restrictions. The staff at Sojourn were so informative and kept in touch the entire time, so any concerns/questions we had were immediately answered. Once we were able to book, it all went smoothly, and we were finally able to take our dream vacation. The Golden Buddah was beautiful, and the employees really went above and beyond to ensure we were enjoying our stay. I loved that we had drivers that were able to take us around so that we could explore more than just the immediate area, although I highly recommend checking out the live bands in Amed. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful vacation. I'm so thankful for my new friends and the many happy moments I will never forget.”

-Kasey T.

“I cannot say enough fabulous things about my stay at Golden Buddha Resort in Bali. What an exquisitely beautiful place-- well appointed, comfortable and tranquil. The ambience is perfect and the furnishings were obviously chosen with great care and attention and to maximize the experience of the guests. And staff are extraordinary--kind and lovely. Bali is beyond magical and Golden Buddha just enhances one's sense of that.”

-Sabrina M.

“We had an AMAZING time at Golden Buddha. The whole experience was perfect! The staff (Odek, Wiz, Rege, Yogi) were all great and catered to all our needs. They made the stay enjoyable, and they are much appreciated for all their hard work. They literally were available all day and were so sweet. The massages were amazing! The food was amazing, and the dinner provided was exceptional and catered to us vegetarians which was awesome. Rege was such a good driver and took the best care of us and made sure we go to do all we wanted and felt safe doing it. Amed is a beautiful place, and we are very lucky to have been able to experience a stay at Golden Buddha. I will definitely recommend Golden Buddha when asked about Bali in the future.”

-Pam R.

“I want to thank you for an unbelievable fantastic adventure at your place and with your staff! Everything was beautiful, we were not far away from Amed and we were very content and happy. Steve and Jack did the sunrise at the volcano with a guide , we did the walk thru the rice paddies, we did the temple walk – amazing, we snorkeled with the people off the beach, and fished, we shopped in the local shops and ate out twice but really enjoyed the staff and their kindness, terrific information about the country and their culture and families. The accommodations were very comfortable, clean and cool, and the transportation was impeccable, on time and in time!”

-Jack M.

“I often reflect on my time at Golden Buddha, one of most profoundly enjoyable experiences of any trip abroad, from the wonderful staff who truly care about providing the very best service anywhere, to the really imaginative architecture, the bungalows are spacious, well appointed, the outdoor, stone lined showers are one of a kind, the landscaping feel's like a tropical wonderland, the pool and water wall are so calming, all right in the heart of Ahmed and yet the sights and sounds seem far away. I can't wait to come back to Golden Buddha!”

-Mitch M.

“This is a very charming place to stay and relax and explore the many sites and places around Bali. Having our own driver who took care of every need and was fun to be around made it even more special. Highly recommend this resort and very welcoming staff.”

-Sheri M.

“My recent trip to Bali was amazing! The Golden Buddah resort is a lovely oasis tucked in a rural Balinese town. Behind the unassuming door, we entered a tranquil, lovely garden with a great pool and well appointed suite. The staff was caring and helpful. Our daily driver, Made, made our trip a very special one with his kindness, knowledge and suggestions to help make our trip beyond our expectations. Thanks to all!”

-Linda P.
