Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Authentic Russian banya (sauna) ceremonies with 'parmeister' treatments
- Stunning jungle setting with a river pool and flower-petal baths
- Social 'Club Days' with fire shows, DJs, and tea ceremonies
Snel Overzicht: It’s a polarizing jungle playground that feels like a fairy tale for some and a hygiene nightmare for others.
Beoordeeld door @vikulyahappiness1562613: I stayed in this bamboo cottage and honestly, the terrace daybed was my entire world. Waking up to the jungle symphony and feeling completely hidden away was the reset I didn't know I needed.

Reality check
The 'conscious community' vibe is strong, but so is the smell of dampness in the rooms and the lack of sanitized amenities.
- You love sauna culture and cold plunges
- You are looking for a sober, 'high-vibe' social scene
- You don't mind bugs, humidity, or rustic jungle living
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
4.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Reviews mention missed spots and a lack of daily deep cleaning.
- Bathroom hygiene: Major weak point. Complaints about wet floors, lack of sanitization, and 'communal' feel.
- Maintenance: Rustic. Expect peeling paint, damp walls, and wear-and-tear from the jungle climate.
- Linens & towels: Often described as worn or damp due to humidity. Bring a backup towel.
- Odors & scents: Strong smell of damp/mildew in rooms, mixed with burning wood and herbal tea in common areas.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is alcohol allowed?
No. The venue is strictly alcohol-free. They serve herbal teas, kombucha, and fresh juices.
Do hotel guests get free sauna access?
Not always. Sauna access is often sold as a separate ticket or 'Club Day' pass. Check your specific booking details carefully.
Is it suitable for children?
Generally no. The vibe is adult-focused (wellness, sauna, quiet zones), and the terrain is steep with unfenced drops.
Is there air conditioning?
Most bungalows are open-air or fan-cooled to maintain the 'eco' vibe. Do not expect sealed, climate-controlled rooms.
How far is it from Ubud center?
It's in Bedulu, about a 15-20 minute drive (4km) east of Ubud Palace, depending on traffic.
Is it a party hotel?
Yes, but a 'conscious' one. Think ecstatic dance, fire shows, and tea ceremonies rather than beer pong and shots.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Visit the sauna on non-Club Days (Mon/Tue/Thu/Sat) for a much quieter, more private experience.
- ✨
The 'parmeister' (sauna master) service is intense but highly rated—book in advance.
- ✨
Bring your own toiletries; the provided ones are often basic or missing.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'communal cup' situation in the tea lounge grosses many people out—bring your own water bottle.
💡You might see nudity in the sauna areas (it's European/Russian style).
💡The jungle humidity is relentless; clothes and sheets often feel permanently damp.
💡It's a shoe-free zone, which can feel unhygienic in the bathrooms/wet areas.
💡The crowd is 80-90% Russian speakers, so English communication can sometimes be a hurdle.
