The hype
A hidden oasis where the only noise is the river and wildlife, with breakfast that guests actually look forward to.
Maylie Bali Bungalows
$80-200/ notte
Prenota se You want the lush, jungle serenity of Ubud but need to be a 15-minute scooter ride from Canggu's surf breaks.
Perché piace così tanto
- Genuine peace and quiet away from the Canggu construction noise
- Staff members Sandi and Budi are frequently cited as the highlight of the stay
- The 'Ubud-style' wooden bungalows overlooking a small river
In sintesi: A tranquil, mosquito-prone hideaway that feels miles from the chaos, but requires a scooter to get anywhere.
Recensito da @ananyafrey: I spent my birthday here and honestly, waking up to that private pool was magic. The floating breakfast is a total must-do—felt like royalty! It’s the perfect spot if you want total privacy and jungle vibes in Canggu.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
The location is polarizing—you either love the silence or hate the 15-minute commute to the action.
- You ride a scooter confidently
- You prefer waking up to birdsong rather than construction drills
- You enjoy the 'jungle cabin' aesthetic over modern concrete boxes
Pulizia e manutenzione
9.4
- Housekeeping: Daily service is thorough; staff will light mosquito coils for you in the evening.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate, though the open-air design means nature (leaves, dust) enters quickly after cleaning.
- Maintenance: Wooden structures are well-oiled and maintained; no signs of the 'Bali rot' common in older wood cabins.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and crisp, though high humidity can make them feel slightly damp if AC isn't running.
- Odors & scents: Smells of frangipani and damp earth (in a good way), with no musty AC smells reported.

FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is it walking distance to the beach?
No. It is about 4-5km from Batu Bolong or Echo Beach, which is a 10-15 minute drive.
Is there construction noise nearby?
Rarely. Unlike central Canggu, this area (Tumbak Bayuh) is still largely rice fields and residential, offering a rare respite from the hammer drills.
Do the rooms have AC?
Yes, all bungalows and villas have air conditioning, though the bathrooms are open-air.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's highly rated—options include Continental, American, and Indonesian (Nasi Goreng).
Can I get a Grab/Gojek easily?
Yes, drop-offs are easy. Pick-ups can sometimes take 10-15 minutes as drivers are less concentrated here than in Batu Bolong.
Is it good for digital nomads?
Yes, WiFi is generally strong and free, but the vibe is more 'chill/disconnect' than 'co-working hub'.
