Peaceful and tranquil place to stay with clean and comfortable rooms
Pros:

- Located in a beautiful oasis of paddy fields which made for a nice escape from the business and noise of the city
- Very clean and comfortable rooms with incredible views of the garden and canyon
- Our room was ready on arrival allowing us to check in early which was greatly appreciated after a very long bus ride!
- The food was really tasty and the portions were very generous

We loved it here on the whole and wished we could’ve stayed longer than one night! It is a very calm and tranquil place to stay.

Cons:

- Expensive compared to other similar places we have stated in Sumatra
- The food in the restaurant was excessively expensive (one of the most expensive meals we had in Sumatra!)
- Staff were not always very helpful at answering our questions although they were generally friendly and smiley on the whole
- Not easy to walk into town as it is a very steep uphill walk to get there. We got a grab taxi in and walked back!

Funtastic!!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Padi Ecolodge, the view is absolutely stunning! Surrounded by lush paddy fields and overlooking a breathtaking canyon, it’s the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature. The peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing breakfast made the experience unforgettable. Truly a hidden gem in Padang! but what truly stood out was the breakfast, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The team’s warm hospitality made the experience even more delightful.

Wirklich schönes Hotel in ruhiger Lage mitten in den Reisfelder.
Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und herzlich – man fühlt sich sofort willkommen.
Mein Zimmer war sauber, gemütlich und das Frühstück war lecker und liebevoll zubereitet.
Obwohl ich nur eine Nacht da war, kann ich dieses Hotel absolut empfehlen!

Great stay in a great location.
Pros:

Amazing location, staff are really friendly, great food options. The room is clean and comfortable and there is ample hot water and good water pressure.

Cons:

Where to go on arrival from the main road is not obvious, the path to the accommodation is not where the sign is and the path isn’t marked so is difficult to figure out.
Also the drain smell at points was a bit overpowering.

Magnifique ecolodge au beau milieu des rizières
Pros:

Magnifique hôtel dans le style minangkabau au beau milieu des rizières. J'avais une chambre sous le toit, avec 2 balcons, magnifique.
Le lit est confortable, tout est propre.
Très bon petit-déjeuner copieux : gâteau à la banane et pain faits maison, pancake, confitures, fruits.
Bons repas également. Et un très bon guide qui parle bien anglais : Jaka.

Cons:

Les oreillers trop épais, l'odeur dans la salle de bains.
Un peu cher pour le pays.
