4-day yoga retreat in Canggu, Bali at an eco-friendly retreat center.

Serenity is a fantastic place to stay. It has a great location and serves up super healthy and delicious food. The staff is so friendly and nice, you always feel welcomed. Even when I got sick, they took care of me and supported me to get back well very soon.

The yoga classes they offer are amazing, and every one I joined was great. Thank you for everything. I had a great time and would definitely come back. It’s definitely recommended:)

I started off in a single bedroom with a fan, and it was way too hot. My “window” faced the shared indoor bathroom, so I couldn’t get any fresh air.
After enduring 9 sweltering nights, a room with air conditioning opened up, so I made the switch. There were construction works going on right behind the wall of my room all day long, until the end of my stay. I couldn’t enjoy my room (and the AC) during the day… the noise from the machines was unbearable. I had to shower with earplugs in. The workers were constantly coming in and out through my small terrace, one chair was even marked off with a sign saying “Thank you for your understanding of the inconvenience caused by the construction.”
Other things bothered me too, like the springs in the mattress, the low water pressure in the shower, the hot water only lasting 3 minutes, the worn-out bath towels that didn’t smell fresh at all, the flooding in my room every morning after a night of rain… Instead of fixing the problem, they sent me an email asking me to put all my belongings up high… If I had to do it again, I would only get the yoga pass and stay somewhere else.
PS: I was in the Yang room. The pool is small but very peaceful, surrounded by greenery.
The yoga classes were really great. It’s awesome to have a month pass and be able to decide day by day which classes to attend.
The staff is extremely kind and helpful. From the reception to the restaurant, security, gardeners, housekeeping… thank you to all of them for everything!
Very close to the beach, on a rather quiet street. Very pleasant.

I didn’t dislike anything at all. I loved everything there! The best yoga classes in the world are at that place. My favorite was definitely the Hatha classes with teacher Qino, but I also enjoyed yin, power yoga, and sunset flow classes. Qino always gives clear instructions, makes appropriate adjustments, and provides different options for all levels. The yoga shalas and rooms are very clean, and the food in the cafe is delicious and fresh. Everyone who works there is super friendly. You’ll never be bored because there’s always a fun and friendly atmosphere! I’ll definitely be returning. I’ll miss you guys!

They placed me in a room that was easier to access.

I loved everything about my experience with Serenity Eco Guesthouse! From the location to the yoga classes and the kind staff, everything exceeded my expectations. It truly felt like a second home. Plus, the food at Alkaline restaurant on the premises was a big bonus. They had a variety of yoga instructors and styles, all of which were experienced and tailored the classes to meet our needs. I will definitely be coming back again.

I stayed in a room that was basically the common room. People would stay up late talking on the phone every night, and the lack of windows made it feel even hotter. The classes were so diverse, and the community of travelers was absolutely beautiful.

Everything has been absolutely fantastic.

There’s some construction happening across the road which kind of messes with the peaceful atmosphere, but it doesn’t totally ruin the experience. I just adore this place! It has such a peaceful vibe throughout. Plus, the food is incredibly nutritious, tasty, and reasonably priced. The yoga classes are so diverse and the teachers are super professional, while all the staff members are simply delightful. I absolutely love this place! It’s my second visit this year and I’ll definitely be coming back again whenever I can!

I wasn’t a huge fan of Canggu, but that’s not the fault of the center. Just make sure you book a room with a private bathroom if you want privacy. The single rooms without a bathroom are cheaper, but they’re so small that they made me feel claustrophobic. The whole staff is incredibly friendly and they make a real effort to focus on sustainability, supporting local businesses, and using organic ingredients for the food. The restaurant and yoga classes are both fantastic. The dorms are spacious and great if you enjoy that kind of traveling. Overall, it was a really nice experience, especially if you’re into surfing since it’s so close to the beach.

They didn’t properly receive my reservation at first, so they put me in a different room than the one I had requested. The communication on this was also terrible… But despite that, the classes were excellent and the food was amazing!

The courses were a great experience even for higher levels, with my teachers being consistently competent and, in my opinion, highly trained and nice. The courses weren’t overcrowded. The accommodation was lovingly furnished.

Some places, like bathrooms and the yogi dorm, might benefit from a thorough floor cleaning and fixing the showers. The staff at Serenity are incredible – always smiling, welcoming, and ready to assist you. The yoga classes are fantastic, led by highly skilled teachers. Don’t miss out on the delicious food at Alkaline, their restaurant. Their chocolate cake is to die for! The overall atmosphere is amazing, and many guests who initially planned to stay for a short time ended up extending their stay or returning because they loved it so much. It truly felt like a home away from home.

I stayed in the second building down the street for two nights. Unfortunately, it was pretty dark and there was no hot shower, plus the vibes were really off. So, I decided to find another place to stay. However, let me tell you about the amazing yoga and main building! The pool and the whole jungle atmosphere were absolutely breathtaking. The yoga instructors were outstanding, offering a great range of classes for all levels. They even provided all the necessary supplies, and what’s more, all the teachers spoke English fluently.

I want to have more advanced yoga classes with Kemie, Kadek, Citra, Elena, and Qino. There aren’t enough of them! The atmosphere there is so welcoming and cozy. The staff is friendly, polite, and extremely helpful. The yoga trainers are highly professional, and they offer a wide variety of classes every day. Plus, there are different special events almost every day too. It’s also conveniently close to the sea, with an astonishing beach nearby. The food is not only healthy but also delicious. I will definitely go back there again. It was absolutely incredible!

The noise around the premises is the only downside, but it’s not really their fault; I just need to mention it. There’s a lot of construction going on, so some classes can get quite noisy. And if you’re staying at Seabreeze, be prepared for the roosters right outside. If you’re a light sleeper, I suggest choosing Serenity for a quieter sleep.

I have to say, though, the yoga class selection was fantastic! All the teachers were absolutely amazing! The staff was always friendly and ready to lend a hand. And the breakfast… oh my, it was simply delicious!

One thing that really upset me here was the cat situation. They left a small kitten, the mom, and another kitten abandoned here. And to make matters worse, the mom eventually died, leaving her baby all alone. Sometimes the poor thing wouldn’t even get any food. Thankfully, me and some other girls took it upon ourselves to take care of them.

But on a brighter note, let me tell you about the amazing yoga instructors! I absolutely loved their classes. They really know their stuff and made the experience so enjoyable.

But what truly stands out for me is the staff. Everyone at the reception, the cleaning crew, and the breakfast staff are just so incredibly kind and sweet. I’m definitely going to miss them the most.

We spent an amazing month at Serenity and we really didn’t want to leave. We tried out almost every yoga class and absolutely loved all the teachers and the wide variety of practices they offered. The pool area was the perfect spot for us to unwind, and the staff at the resort were incredibly friendly and attentive to our needs.

The only downside to our stay at Serenity was that some of the private rooms weren’t very comfortable. We ended up trying out four different rooms and unfortunately, all of the mattresses were uncomfortable. They were so bad that we would wake up in the middle of the night with back pain. We strongly advise against staying in the Tarzan room. It doesn’t have air conditioning, lacks privacy, and seems to collect smoke from nearby fires. Even the resort staff would sometimes smoke us out in the morning while boiling water for the restaurant. We let them know about the issue and they were understanding and stopped, but there were still instances where other people in the neighborhood would burn garbage and rice fields. It’s definitely something to consider and avoid.

On a positive note, the Alkaline restaurant was quite good. The prices were reasonable and the food was really healthy. The breakfast buffet was decent, although you can find even better food nearby for just a little more money.

Overall, our experience at Serenity was fantastic and we would definitely go back.

I had a great time at yoga classes and breakfast this morning, but it would be even better if we had some eggs.

Other teachers are good too, but they don’t adjust students. I attended Kemi’s class to learn inversion, but she doesn’t really teach it step by step. Instead, she just told me, “if you’re not gonna try, you won’t be able to do it.” But I don’t want to attempt inversions without someone assisting me as I might hurt myself. The yoga classes with Kartana, Mano, Quino, and Yogi are great. These teachers adjust their students and are passionate about sharing their knowledge.

I wish I had done some research before going to Canggu because it wasn’t what I expected. It’s basically taken over by westerners and party-goers. The locals told me that most of the businesses are owned by foreigners now. But if you’re looking to party and see surfers, Canggu is the place to be.

The room I booked was small with just one bed, no desk, and a dresser. It had two windows – one facing the bathroom/shower area and the other facing the alley where people would hang out to smoke (even though it’s supposed to be a non-smoking resort). It was kind of inconvenient because I could hear people going in and out of the bathroom/shower, and sometimes I could even smell cigarettes in my room.

The wifi didn’t reach my room, so there was no way I could make video calls or stream anything online. Other rooms seemed to have no problem with wifi though. Not exactly ideal for a 30-day yoga retreat.

After a few nights, I asked if I could switch rooms (since I saw another guest leaving), or if I could pay more for an upgrade. But unfortunately, they were fully booked and couldn’t accommodate any room swaps.

So, I ended up canceling my stay after the first week and left Canggu. But I have to say, the yoga classes at the facility were amazing. The teachers were super talented, knowledgeable, and communicated really well. I highly recommend them. The staff at the center were also really lovely and brought a positive vibe to the whole place. Thank you to them for that. The pool area was beautiful, although there weren’t many spots to sunbathe. The pool itself wasn’t usually crowded, which was nice. And the spa center next to the pool was great too. I had a Balinese massage there and it was fantastic. The prices were reasonable considering the expertise and the location.

Overall, I would definitely do yoga at this facility again. It’s just a shame that my accommodation experience wasn’t the best.

The vegan breakfast buffet could definitely be improved. Maybe they should consider providing a small a la carte menu for in-house guests instead. I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place – it was so calm and quiet.

We have a mixed dorm, but we highly recommend having rooms for individuals of the same gender. We offer awesome yoga classes, delicious food, a great location, and our friendly staff is always here to assist you!

The dogs they have can get a little noisy at night, but with earplugs, it was easy to go back to sleep, so it wasn’t really a problem! Serenity has this magical power to help you relax and escape the busyness of Canggu. It creates a peaceful and serene atmosphere that surrounds you in green. The teachers here have diverse backgrounds and excellent qualities, giving you a great variety to choose from each day. My room was simple but cleaned every day, and I felt very comfortable. The staff kept the showers and toilets clean regularly, and they were always positive and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic, with fresh fruit, homemade raw breads, and a different hot dish every day, like Balinese porridge, scrambled tofu, or banana pancakes. Everything was extremely delicious. The meals for lunch and dinner were also amazing and made with fresh, wholesome ingredients. I stumbled upon this place by chance, and I’ll definitely come back on my next trip to Bali.

Everything felt perfect.

The staff was super kind and helpful, the yoga courses were great, and my first surf lesson was awesome! I really enjoyed the vegan breakfast too. Plus, everything in Canggu is within walking distance, so it only took me 5 minutes to reach the beach. I had such an amazing time!

My room was a bit outdated and dark.
The yoga classes here are absolutely fantastic, they are challenging but amazing!
The breakfast buffet was also delicious, all the food is of high quality.
It’s great that you can always grab water.

It was my first time in Bali and overall, I was mostly disappointed with the city of Canggu. It was very touristy with a superficial “Instagram” vibe. Basically, everything is geared towards tourists, so if you’re looking for authenticity, I wouldn’t recommend this city. Pollution is also very prevalent, which can make the sea dirty on rainy days.

As for Serenity, the dorm I stayed in was clean (cleaned every day) and decent, although there were insects, specifically crabs, which was a bit unpleasant but nothing major. Once we mentioned it to the staff, they made an effort to fix the issue.

The biggest downside for me was the health situation. From January to March 2020, many people got sick, including myself. We thought a bacteria (possibly in the water) was causing the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting that we experienced. However, we don’t know for sure, but it was difficult for many other tourists staying at Serenity.

However, I don’t blame the staff at Serenity, as they must have been bothered by this issue as well. For my first solo trip, I decided to go to a center that offered yoga classes so that I wouldn’t be alone in a new country and could deepen my practice. I’m not disappointed with choosing Serenity! The place itself is gorgeous with a beautiful pool, the staff is always friendly and attentive, the teachers are excellent, and the vegan food is pretty good. The people I met there were all in a positive and open-minded mood, which made it easy to connect and have unforgettable moments. A big thank you for the three Balinese massages included in the one-month package.

I recommend Serenity, and even though Canggu wasn’t my favorite city, I would go back just for the kindness of the teachers and staff.

The dorm room didn’t have a key for us to use, and the bathrooms weren’t very clean. The beds were uncomfortably hard, and if you sleep on the bottom bunk, be prepared for centipedes crawling on you at night. It’s really damp here, so you never feel clean or dry unless you leave the dorm. Unfortunately, the food made people sick, so I skipped the breakfast and ate somewhere else. I guess that was just my experience with the dorm, while others seemed fine.

On the positive side, the yoga classes were a lot of fun. The teachers were extremely enjoyable and helpful, especially if you’re new to yoga. The pool is really nice, and the location is great because it’s hidden and quiet, with a 10-minute walk to the main area. The staff were lovely and accommodating. When we had no hot water, they fixed it right away after I mentioned it. It’s a fantastic place to meet people, and the staff and security are available 24/7.

The quality of the yoga instructors amazed me. They were all exceptional in the classes.

I really enjoyed everything. The stuff was always very nice and helpful. Among the yoga instructors, my favorite was Kartana. He was incredibly clear and helpful.

De sfeer is geweldig, ik vind de yoga lessen en workshops echt geweldig. De locatie is perfect. Het zwembad is prachtig en het strand is vlakbij. Het personeel is super vriendelijk.

The swimming pool, the kindness of the staff

Breakfasts are so boring and lack imagination – it’s the same thing every day and the quality is low. They really need to improve their hygiene standards. Having stinky dogs in the restaurant is definitely not a good idea! However, the yoga teaching and facilities here are excellent. The accommodation is fair for the price, and the food is just okay. But unfortunately, the breakfasts just got worse as time went on. It’s crazy, but there are so many sick people at the resort and they all say it’s because of the bacterial infection they got from eating the food here!

I can’t believe it, but my first solo yoga trip exceeded all my expectations! The experience at Serenity Eco guest-house and Yoga was absolutely amazing. The place had such a chill, eco-friendly vibe that instantly put me at ease. And the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. But the real highlight were the yoga classes, they were simply amazing! I seriously wish I could have stayed longer. I’m already planning my next trip back for more classes. Huge thanks to all the staff and yoga instructors for making my trip so incredibly pleasant!

I stayed at Serenity 2 and the dorm was near some local houses. The roosters and dogs woke me up a few times. The staff there was really kind and helpful. The breakfast was vegan and absolutely delicious. I also tried the cakes and the restaurant, which were all vegan and really great. I thought that the whole place really embodied their food offer, yoga, spa, and permaculture around the property. They even take care to use safe chemicals in the pool! I even got to join an amazing ecstatic dance session led by Deva! They just need a better sound system though 😉 The aerial yoga class was my favorite! You have to try it at least once!!! Overall, I felt really safe, comfortable, and well taken care of 🙂 It was a really lovely stay!

I stayed at Serenety2. There were a lot of chickens and roosters around, but they didn’t bother me at all. However, the entrance is a large, loud, and wobbly metal gate that is constantly being opened and closed by people coming and going.

The room is very noisy because the door is a sliding door that doesn’t completely close. But the beds are very comfortable! The air conditioning is very quiet. The pool is also very clean.

The breakfast is good, but mostly on the sweet side. They always have cut fruit, bread with sweet spreads, and a warm dish like baked banana or porridge.

The room itself is small, equipped with a bed and mosquito net. You don’t need much more than that. The bathroom was cleaned every day.

The breakfast isn’t varied enough. At Serenity Guesthouse 2, I always had to bring my things for the pool, yoga… and there was no possibility to change because there’s no room at Serenity Guesthouse. The yoga classes are amazing with very competent teachers. The dishes are also very good, and the vegan pastries are to die for!

I’m not exactly sure what was going on there, but every single new person who stayed in the dorm, including me, got hit with this terrible 24-hour sickness that made us throw up and have diarrhea. It could’ve been something we ate for breakfast, or maybe there was an issue with the cleanliness or water quality. Or, it’s possible that there’s some kind of flu going around that thrives in that place because so many people pass through. All I know is that every single person staying in the dorm got sick, and this happened during my 10-day stay.

Now, on to the positive stuff! The yoga classes were amazing, especially since they were held in these wonderful outdoor studios. The pool was stunning and the location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach. It was super laid-back and the customer service was top-notch – the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The wifi was alright, not the best but still usable.

Breakfast could have more variety, like adding some herbal teas… But really, I can’t complain about anything else. This place truly felt like home to me, and I made so many friends as a solo female traveler. The yoga classes were amazing, offering a wide range of options and variety. The food was always fresh and healthy. The staff always had a smile on their face and were genuinely happy to see you. Plus, they had a lot of different accommodation options to suit any budget or desire. The pool area was absolutely beautiful and provided a peaceful atmosphere. I would definitely come back!

Excellent, je n’ai rien à redire…

The food blew me away! I left the place feeling completely cleansed and refreshed! The workers at eco serenity were so friendly and welcoming, they truly made my stay extremely enjoyable! The yoga teachers were absolutely beautiful. They left me feeling incredibly relaxed and inspired to embrace a life filled with balance and self-care! My overall impression was just incredible! Thanks a lot for everything! I’m definitely coming back!

I have no dislikes. I absolutely loved the food and the yoga classes.

The room could be more comfortable and less simple. Every day, the shower was almost cold and could be cleaner as well. However, the food was excellent, and both the yoga teachers and staff were amazing and kind. The safe in the room was practical. The permaculture and pool area is incredibly relaxing!

You absolutely need to avoid staying around Serenity 1 & 2 and Kris Kros: roosters (fighting cocks) that sing all night long, accompanied by dogs, and as if that’s not enough, on weekends there’s a parade of surfer scooters that come to party, guaranteeing sleepless nights…
The nearby beach is okay, but the sea is rough… black sand and surfers, including young ones… The instructors are excellent.
The accommodation in the heart of the complex is great, don’t get it wrong…
The vegan food is good and the breakfast is enjoyable…

Every single night, I woke up from my sleep because the person above me was pacing and dropping things in their room around midnight. One night, the noise even woke me up at 2:30 am. It disturbed my sleep for seven nights straight. Despite the disturbances, I still loved the setting, decor, and staff. The facilities were perfect.

The quality of the Yoga classes is just exceptional.
The restaurant serves excellent food with fresh ingredients at reasonable prices.
The rooms are simple and comfortable.
After staying there for 25 days, I can say that it’s a place where you quickly feel at home.
The most striking aspect is the humility and kindness of the staff, people who have a heart of gold and work sincerely. I often saw them gathering together, probably to always strive for improvement. And for that, I can only congratulate them 🙂

The room can be a bit noisy in the morning with the roosters and scooters, but you get used to it with earplugs. The staff is very welcoming, good value for money, quality food. The yoga and spa are fabulous.

The building work happening every morning at 7 am in my room slightly put me off. Maybe they could have told us about it when we checked in. I loved the yoga classes though! They were a good size and the instructors were really helpful. Trying aerial yoga for the first time was amazing! I would definitely do it again in England.

I highly recommend this place – the location is great, the instructors are amazing, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

I absolutely loved my stay here! The rooms were so cosy and clean, and the staff was incredibly helpful. I enjoyed every minute of it! The classes and teachers all did an amazing job in helping out wherever they could. I would recommend this place to anyone!

This place is perfect for a yoga holiday. I spent two weeks there, purchasing two week-long class passes at 900K each. It was a truly relaxing trip that really helped boost my yoga practice and fitness. They offer a wide variety of classes in different styles, with plenty of teachers and rooms to choose from. Plus, you can also enjoy massages and treatments, a pool, accommodations, and a delicious on-site vegan restaurant where guests receive a complimentary breakfast. It was absolutely stunning.

Some people might be sensitive to insects and nature, but that wasn’t the case for me. Just a heads up, Serenity’s eco-friendly approach means there’s a lot more wildlife around their facilities. My first time in Bali, I wanted to take it easy, so Canggu and Serenity Eco Guesthouse were the perfect choice. Check-in was a breeze, and I quickly learned about all the amenities they offered- and there were plenty! I loved the Balinese massage and highly recommend the Ashtanga and Aerial Yoga classes. The Alkaline restaurant’s sugar- and gluten-free concept was a hit for me, and the raw bars and smoothie bowls were delicious. The resort is conveniently close to Canggu’s main street but in a quieter area, perfect for evening meditation and practice. And let me tell you, the surfing lesson was the highlight of my stay!

Serenity 2 is an amazing place to stay, but be warned – if you’re a light sleeper or forget your earplugs, those roosters will wake you up really early! Everything exceeded my expectations – the location, swimming pool area, massages, breakfasts, and most importantly, the YOGA classes! I had a fantastic 7-day stay and enjoyed every moment. Thanks again to the team at Serenity 2!

My room felt noisy with a chicken singing all day and scooters driving in the driveway. There are plenty of classes available each day with a variety of teachers. All levels are welcome and we provide everything you need like mats, blocks, straps, and towels. Staying at Serenity makes it easy to attend classes daily. The staff at Serenity are helpful, understanding, and kind.

We found the breakfast options a bit disappointing and they got repetitive after the second day, but our stay at Serenity Eco Guesthouse and Yoga was lovely overall! The classes were excellent, the room was exceptional, and the hotel facilities were fantastic. We really enjoyed our stay here and wished it could have been longer!

I was surprised when I had to surrender my passport upon arrival. I asked if I could pay cash for the first night since I arrived at 1:30 am, but it seemed like giving up my passport was the only way to get a room. This is very unusual based on my travel experiences.

I stayed in B7, and the dog got into the common area before the stairs up to the toilet. When I came down on my second night, he growled and barked aggressively, but thankfully ran away. I have to admit, I was a bit scared!

The yoga classes were challenging, more difficult than I expected, but the instructors made it fun! The food was creative and imaginative. I’m not vegan, but I enjoyed sampling the menu. The pool and massage facilities were also very nice, exceeding my expectations. The pre-arranged ride from the airport was well worth it! My driver spoke good English and patiently waited while customs and immigration took a full 90 mins.

Umm, well, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to dogs, ya know! I really enjoyed the organized structure of the class and the setting. It was such a unique and memorable experience. Thank you! I highly recommend it!

Our room was not a peaceful place to rest for the night. Right next to a dog breeder according to the receptionist… constantly barking dogs and roosters making it impossible to sleep well even with earplugs. And these noises continued throughout the day. Hearing dogs barking all the time is not pleasant. We had a fridge but no kettle so no hot water available as stated, having to walk 1.5km for a tea doesn’t count as available. The shower didn’t work properly, we would get a burst of hot water and then cold water. For the price, the room was not acceptable… and definitely not serene despite its name. The Serenity center was nice, the pool, restaurant, and garden were good but when you don’t stay there, you can’t enjoy the services offered like hot and cold water, relaxation room, pool, breakfast, everything is there thankfully we had a scooter because it was really not close by. The yoga classes and equipment are perfect and there are classes available at any time of the day.

The lessons are really top-notch in terms of price and quality at Ligging, and the garden is simply fantastic!

The staff here at Serenity Guest house really smoothed out this experience for me. They welcomed me with a smile at every moment of the day and supported me when I needed it. This place is open yet enclosed, but it doesn’t stop you from enjoying nature.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Serenity Guest house!

– The spa quality I tried during my trip wasn’t the best.
– I suspected bed bugs, but I asked for extra cleaning and they took care of it immediately.
– I loved the place itself, with the vegetation and pool.
– The yoga rooms and teachers were great.
– They offered very good service quality.
– I enjoyed the local breakfast.

Whenever we encountered problems like no hot water or a broken pipe, the staff always helped us as quickly as possible. At the Open Eco style facility, the polite staff ensures that any issues are promptly addressed. The restaurant serves delicious food that is sure to satisfy your appetite.

The staff was really friendly and helpful, the restaurant served delicious food, and the location was amazing.

I couldn’t believe it, those bedbugs were the worst! They were eating me alive every night. I had to sleep in toga pants, a long sleeve top, and socks just to protect myself. But I couldn’t bear to leave the place because everything else was amazing! I loved the retreat layout, the team working there, the spa girls, and the yoga classes. It was such a lovely experience!

Rien n’était parfait. La chambre était très bien, petite mais pas besoin de plus. Ils proposaient un planning de yoga très varié. Le personnel de la guest house était adorable (mention spéciale pour evi et ningrum). Le restaurant servait des plats délicieux, la piscine était des plus agréables. En bref, c’était un petit coin de paradis à 2 minutes à pied de la plage. Et tout ça pour un prix défiant toute concurrence.

The rooms don’t all have keys, bedbug problems are rampant, and the reception where you can leave things 24 hours is very insecure. One guy working there went through my friend’s bag, stole money and things, and we had a hard time getting them back. The money he kept… I enjoyed the yoga and the beautiful area, but I wouldn’t stay there again because it’s not secure at all. Nice location and mostly good people around, seems peaceful at first… But yeah, not worth the risk.

Some rooms seem unbelievable. This place is amazing, with yoga classes, tasty organic food, a swimming pool, and only 200 meters from the beach. The staff really makes you feel at home. I’ll definitely be coming back someday!

I booked a surf lesson that was supposed to be included in the price, but the receptionist informed me a day later, after I paid, that it was a mistake. They really need to get their act together. It’s also strange that they canceled my surf lesson just because I booked through booksurfcamps.com. On the bright side, I did enjoy the pool, free massage, and vegan options.

They are not continuing with the beach cleaning, which is not good because the beach needs to be taken care of.
You can take care of it yourself, but there is a lot to do, so it’s much better to have an organized group.
The teachers are very good, they help you correct your postures, and the classes are very dynamic, focusing on deep asanas.
All levels are welcome, which was nice for us.
The staff is very friendly and kind.
The restaurant serves nice food, with a huge and delicious breakfast.
Housekeeping cleans the room every day.

I believe there should have been someone to help me figure out my goals and guide me on what classes to take and how much yoga to do as a total beginner in yoga. I ended up doing 3-4 classes a day and injured my knee from overdoing it. After doing some research, it was clear I was doing too much for a beginner. The food was fantastic and the staff was great.

There are mosquitoes everywhere, especially during the evening practice, at “Serenity,” which lives up to its name.
I love the people working there too – they’re so helpful and always smiling.
The best surprise for me was how close the place is to the beach!
The food is amazing, and the classes are definitely worth it.

El ambiente es increíble, la gente es súper amable y te dan ganas de regresar. Definitivamente volvería sin pensarlo dos veces.

The mosquitoes there really get on my nerves sometimes. I used to have a tiny mosquito net that didn’t do much to protect me. The food costs a pretty penny, but the retreat itself is affordable. The cozy corner could get pretty packed at times. I think they should add some regular comfy chairs instead of just the Japan style ones. Overall, everything was fantastic. The yoga classes were absolutely incredible!

I loved everything about my stay at Serenity, but I had a bad experience with bug bites. One morning, I woke up with my whole back, shoulders, and feet covered in bites. There were so many that I had an allergic reaction. I believe they were bedbugs, not mosquito bites. The staff told me they were from bugs outside of our rooms, but who knows? I never saw any bugs, just woke up with 100 bites. People at yoga class noticed my bites and some said they had similar ones. One girl mentioned that bedbugs were a common issue at Serenity, which is why she only goes to yoga class there. The staff tried to help by putting coconut oil on my bites, but I still had more the next day. I decided to cancel my last week at Serenity and go to Ubud instead. It was hard to focus on yoga and meditation with the itching from the bites. It seems like the bug problem was more in the single rooms, while the dorms were okay. Overall, Serenity is a great place for solo travelers looking for peace, meeting like-minded people, and practicing yoga in a beautiful environment. The location is perfect, close to the beach, and the yoga classes are excellent. The staff is friendly and prices are reasonable. I especially enjoyed Kartana and Pusbas’s classes, but there are options for everyone at Serenity. The spa was also very good.

Bedbugs are a big problem there, and they don’t take it seriously when you tell them about it. It really affected my experience there. The yoga, atmosphere, and food were perfect.

It’s an amazing place to relax and enjoy yoga. Everyone who works there is very friendly and welcoming! I will definitely come back!

I loved everything about my stay at Serenity Ecolodge. The yoga instructors really helped me despite being a beginner. The staff at Serenity and Alkeline were super friendly and always willing to help. The food was amazing and the atmosphere and surroundings were perfect. I can’t think of anything negative to say about my experience at Serenity. A big thank you to the entire team there!

I’ve had bed bugs in three different dorms and still can’t get rid of them. The staff is super helpful and nice, they really try to help you as much as they can.

Spaces, cleaning, and yoga.

There’s nothing disappointing about Serenity. It’s just perfect. The staff is super friendly and helpful. You can munch on healthy food whenever you want. The beach is just a 5-minute stroll away. The yoga classes are top-notch and run all day. Plus, there are other treatments on offer that won’t break the bank.

The staff is great, the food is amazing, and there are plenty of yoga classes to choose from at this location. The teachers are good and it’s easy to get there with transportation available.

I left after the first night because I woke up to bed bugs eating me in the night. The manager gave me a refund the next day. The spring rolls were very good.

I think this yoga retreat falls short. It doesn’t have a set program, coaching, or guidance. You just get a pass and accommodation, and then you’re left to figure out what classes to take on your own. This can be really frustrating, especially for beginners.

Plus, the place is way busier than I expected based on the descriptions and website. This is mostly due to the popular restaurant and the walk-ins for yoga classes. When you add this to the lack of structure, it doesn’t feel like a retreat at all in my opinion.

Overall, though, it’s a nice budget-friendly place to stay and do some yoga. The lessons are generally good (although the quality varies between teachers), the accommodation is nice, the pool is great, and the location near the beach is fantastic.

I’d like to see more plug sockets and air conditioning units in the rooms. The yoga here is top-notch and the whole package is a great deal. The massages were a nice addition and just as fantastic.
When I arrived after a 20-hour journey, I wasn’t sure if I would stay because as a westerner the room seemed too basic. But within a couple of days, this place felt like home, with such a friendly vibe. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the rooms could use more plug sockets and aircon because the ceiling fans didn’t do much. The shared bathroom facilities were great though, always plenty of toilets and showers available.
A lot of people got Bali belly, so I suggest bringing along some Imodium, though it wasn’t the hostel’s fault, mostly off-site food.
I highly recommend the 30-day program, it gives you plenty of time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the yoga.

I lost one flip flop on the premises and never found it, so I had to buy a new pair. The yoga classes, clean food, massages, and overall atmosphere were all amazing.

The accommodation was in a separate building, about 700m away. The connection of the house with yoga, restaurant, and massage was excellent.

The flies buzzing around in the garden while you eat can be irritating and off-putting. The atmosphere is beautiful, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the yoga teachers are all incredibly professional, talented, and a joy to practice with. I absolutely loved my stay here.

The only thing I found a bit difficult was the weak fan in my room, which often made it hot without the aircon. Maybe someone could check on that fan!

Everything was absolutely amazing, especially the friendly and helpful staff. The location is perfect – easy walk to the beach, rice fields, restaurants, and coffee shops.

When I visited Ubud, Kuta, and Seminyak, returning to Serenity felt like coming home because the staff felt like family. I also met wonderful travelers like Mel, Michael, Margaret, and Teri who made my stay special.

All the yoga teachers – Sida, Kartana, Mia, Yogi, Citra, and Daivum were fantastic. I wish I had attended more classes instead of lounging around the pool, but there was no pressure to do anything. The massages were very healing.

The owners, a beautiful couple full of joy and kindness, were very involved and passionate. Seeing the wife worship daily with fresh flowers for prayers was very profound and humble.

Serenity is like a fairy tale place with positive messages that make you feel safe, happy, and peaceful. I loved every moment of my month here and would definitely visit again. Thank you, Serenity, for filling my heart with joy!

The philosophy of the yoga teachers varied a lot. I felt uncomfortable at times because it was always about pushing yourself further and comparing who had the best stretch in class. It really ruined the yoga experience, especially for those who were new to practicing yoga.

There was also a virus going around, with someone different getting sick every day and spending a lot of time near a toilet. We suspected it might have been the food at the restaurant, as no one had these problems before coming to Bali.

The staff took good care of me – they brought me water and charcoal tablets in the middle of the night, and even more the next day. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making it easy to feel comfortable. It was really special!

My room, KrisKros, was very spacious and well-equipped: fridge, mosquito net, fan, air conditioning, you name it.

The package with accommodation and the yoga pass was also incredibly affordable!

I highly recommend trying out the meditation classes – they were really good!

The food at the alkaline restaurant is delicious, the sunset yin classes are relaxing, and the overall atmosphere is great. The vibe is good and the teachers are friendly. Don’t forget about the pool area and the amazing Balinese massage!

The instructor allowed and encouraged people to take photos during the aerial class, but I think they should have waited until after class because it was very off putting.

My partner and I got very sick halfway through the retreat, so no more yoga for us. We can’t be sure where we got it from, but we only ate at one restaurant outside Sanctuary and it was always very busy. There were others at Sanctuary who were also sick. People didn’t properly wipe the mats, and I’m not convinced the cutlery and dishes were disinfected. The staff gave us a charcoal drink that really helped, but since we were in Sanctuary 2, we were quite cut off. For example, I messaged asking if breakfast could be brought to us because we were so unwell, and didn’t get a response for 24 hours. It’s fantastic value, just don’t get sick! We managed 3 months in Asia without any issues, but it was our last week of traveling that got us. The classes were great, the pool area was very nice, and the breakfast was lovely. The room had everything we needed, and the free insect repellent was a nice touch. The staff were lovely.

I had to climb stairs to get to the toilet in the middle of the night. Sometimes the food was a little hit and miss (over salted). The staff were great – kind and helpful. The yoga classes and teachers were excellent.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly! The room, even though a dorm, was spacious and clean! The facilities are very well-maintained! The food… mmm, delicious!

The bed bugs were going around, and they didn’t use chemicals. The mosquitos and flies seemed immune to their natural repellent and even store-bought mosquito repellent. The owner was a little rigid too. I actually had to get a refund because I couldn’t stand to be there anymore. But I did like the location and the yoga instructors.

People didn’t do a good job of stopping bed bugs from spreading, but yoga was awesome.

I didn’t like Canggu itself. The yoga spot was like an island in the craziness of Canggu. It was busy, especially with surfers parading around with their surfboards all day, which was a strange contrast to the serenity of Serenity. I didn’t feel comfortable in Canggu. I really liked the guests at Serenity. Everyone was there for the same reason, so there was a sense of connection. The yoga classes were really nice and you were pretty close to all the shops and restaurants in Canggu.

I had to stay at Kris Kris, the 3rd building for one night. I didn’t like it much because the room smelled like a toilet. Serenity Yoga and Guesthouse is a welcoming place where they treat you with a smile and make you feel at home right away. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay in the main building because it was fully booked. I stayed at Serenity 2 and rented a bicycle to get around. The yoga classes were challenging at first since I hadn’t practiced in two years, but the teachers explained things well, offered alternative poses, and pushed me to do better. In a short amount of time, I gained strength, lost weight thanks to the amazing alkaline restaurant, and felt at peace in both my mind and soul. I left reluctantly and wished I had booked for four weeks instead!

The breakfast is included, the atmosphere is lovely, and the staff is friendly.

I loved every minute of it! The place, the location, the staff, the instructors, the food – everything was amazing! I can’t wait to go back.

Unfortunately, trash polluted the beaches in Bali. However, the entire staff at the resort was friendly and worked hard to ensure a perfect stay. The yoga instructors were phenomenal and taught me a lot. I also met some amazing people who had a similar energy to mine. The value for everything, from food to massages to motorbike rentals, was incredible. And if I wanted to balance out my trip with some nightlife, there were plenty of options just a few blocks away.

The staff were incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. I thought everything was fantastic and the value for money was incredible!

Some members of the staff have had a good experience with the quality of the initial interactions. The gluten-free vegan food is very healthy.

Construction work was taking place in the main building, so I had to change rooms. It was a smooth process and I even got a free massage on top of that. It’s good that maintenance work is being done, but it should be communicated before booking so people can choose their room accordingly. The food is delicious and healthy, and the prices are reasonable. The accommodations exceeded my expectations for the low price: spacious, clean, and something for everyone’s taste! The staff are extremely friendly and always willing to help. I think the staff really make the place so loveable in the long run! The variety of yoga classes is impressive, with different styles offered each day to suit everyone. Overall, I am very happy with my choice of this yoga retreat. Canggu is also a very trendy little surfing town where you can do much more than just yoga! Awesome!

It’s hard to relax by the pool sometimes with all these flies. I wonder if there’s a way we can encourage them to go somewhere else? The yoga classes offer a great variety, with a perfect balance of restorative yoga in the evening. The restaurant serves delicious food with excellent service and outstanding value.

Serenity is the perfect yoga retreat! It’s small and cozy, with teachers who really connect with the participants during classes. The courses are very challenging, and all the teachers are from Bali. And don’t forget about the amazing pool and on-site massages! The staff is also super friendly.

The atmosphere and the staff were very nice and helpful.

The instructors really guide you through the poses in the variety of yoga and meditation classes on offer, so there’s something for everyone.

“We should offer more beginner yoga options, like adding a beginner aerial class. It would be beneficial to also introduce more specialized classes, like ones focused on handstands. Serenity is committed to maintaining a clean, safe, and friendly environment that harmonizes with nature. The massages are top-notch, and the beginner yoga classes were fantastic.”

This place is so lovely and simple, with really good vibes and a super nice staff. I decided to leave earlier to go to Ubud with a friend, and they refunded me without even asking. They really try to make you happy and you feel embraced and taken care of. Plus, the vegan food is amazing, and the yoga teachers are clean and high quality. I would definitely recommend it!

It was tough to communicate with some staff at the reception. They didn’t include breakfast as advertised. But the yoga classes were great! There was a big schedule with all kinds of options every day. The alkaline restaurant was conveniently located right at the front.

The restaurant at Alcaline is quite expensive. The room at Serenity 2 is very noisy (cocks and dogs all night long). The yoga classes are taught by very knowledgeable and friendly teachers, the calmness and serene atmosphere. The kindness and welcoming reception of the staff.

I loved the place so much that we want to come back another time. However, there was one thing: We stayed in Serenity 3, and every night the rooster woke us up. It made it hard to sleep there.

A rat showed up in my room last night. The classes here are fantastic, offering a variety of yoga and meditation styles. I find the ecofriendly concept of this place intriguing. The food is delicious, and the staff, while friendly, can be a bit confused at times.

The reception staff didn’t speak English well, making it difficult to communicate with them, but they were friendly. However, they had trouble finding me in their system 4 times even though I had paid for my yoga classes. It seemed like they just wanted to make extra money. Despite paying for 5 classes, they insisted they couldn’t find me and I had to show my receipt each time to book my yoga class. The first time, they tried to charge me 110k instead of 90k per class, claiming it was “high season.” It was frustrating to argue with them every time. Their constant insistence that I hadn’t paid ruined my experience. On a positive note, I loved the peaceful and beautiful location of the accommodation.

I experienced a language barrier when I tried to address some concerns. I had lost my room key and was leaving the next day. The manager had arranged for a driver to pick me up from a different location because I was heading to the Gili Islands in the morning. The plan was for me to pay my key deposit minus the cost of replacing the key. But, I actually found my key stuck in the lining of my backpack. The next day, the driver from Eco didn’t show up, so I had to walk to the main building to make sure I wouldn’t miss my prepaid boat ride. It was pretty unsafe to be walking around so early. The shuttle driver was annoyed because we had to turn back to get my luggage.

Even though I found my key, I was still charged for a replacement because that was the management’s instructions and all they left for me. I didn’t get a chance to explain the situation. The Eco staff tried to help but they couldn’t do much without proper protocol. The rooster outside my window kept me up all night with its crowing, which was super annoying. I couldn’t sleep at all. On the bright side, the location near the beach was really nice. Overall, most of the staff were friendly, but there were definitely some issues that could have been handled better.

– Stray and sometimes aggressive dogs roam around
– The food at the restaurant was too expensive for the quality
– Some of the employees don’t speak English very well, but colleagues helped out
– The staff was very friendly and eager to help (though there was sometimes a bit of a hustle behind the counter, with 5-8 employees, of which 2-3 were actually doing something)
– There were various styles of yoga to choose from
– The cleanliness was excellent
– There were plenty of seating options

I booked a two-week stay, but the minute I got there, I realized it was a mistake. This place wasn’t the peaceful retreat I was expecting – it was way too busy and there was noisy construction going on. So, I canceled my reservation and hightailed it out of there. Definitely not what I had in mind. But hey, at least the staff were awesome.

I want to have storage with a locker (even if I have to pay) to leave my bag after checkout. The privacy wasn’t great because you could hear guests in other rooms. The food in the restaurant was good. The energy of the place was lively.

“La douche est variée avec différents cours et de la nourriture et des boissons.”

The yoga instructor is fantastic, the facilities are beautiful, and the vegan food is creative and delicious.

I liked my room, but the maid didn’t do a very good job cleaning the bathroom, especially the toilet. The yoga classes were fantastic.

We originally had a reservation for the Moon room, but we asked for a different room because it had a damp problem and smelled bad. All the rooms are pretty basic, which we anticipated, but my sister has asthma so we couldn’t stay in that room. After some discussion, they arranged for us to switch rooms and everything else about our stay was fantastic. The classes were awesome with a wide variety to choose from, and the instructors were inspiring and top-notch.

They are expanding and have building work going on from 8am, which disrupted the beautiful tranquillity of the place. I hope the expansion doesn’t lose its charm. It felt very inclusive, the staff were all very friendly, and you didn’t have to be an expert at yoga.
There are lots of little fountains dotted around creating a constant background of trickling water sounds. The Alkaline cafe serves healthy and delicious food. I wish they sold a recipe book to take home and continue the goodness.
