February 17, 2024 at 12:00 amI was first in a single bedroom with a fan, and it was way too hot. My “window” faced the shared bathroom inside, so there was no way to get some fresh air. After 9 long hot nights, a room with air conditioning opened up, so I was able to switch. There were construction works right behind the wall of my room, all day long, until the end of my month there. I couldn’t enjoy my room (and the AC) during the day… the noise of the machines was unbearable. I had to shower with earplugs in. And the workers were coming and going through my small terrace, one chair was blocked to hang a sign saying “Thank you for your understanding of the inconvenience caused by the works”. Other things bothered me like the springs in the mattress, the low water pressure in the shower, the hot water only lasting for 3 minutes, the bath towels in bad condition and especially not smelling fresh at all, the flood in my room every morning after a rainy night… Instead of fixing the problem, I was asked by email to put all my belongings higher up… If I had to do it again, I would only take the yoga pass and stay elsewhere. P.S: I was in the Yang room. The pool is small but very calm and surrounded by greenery. The yoga classes were really good. It’s great to have the monthly pass and decide day by day what classes to attend. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. From reception to the restaurant, security, gardeners, housekeeping staff… thank you to them for everything! Very close to the beach, on a rather quiet street. Very pleasant.

February 5, 2024 at 12:00 amHonestly, absolutely nothing. Serenity is a truly magical place. A peaceful, soft, and bright atmosphere fills the air. From the employees to the residents, everyone embodies true gentleness.
I truly had an idyllic week there. The yoga classes were interesting, spiritual, and challenging, with teachers who cared about everyone’s well-being, creating a real connection and interaction. The classes were plentiful, varied, and comprehensive so that everyone could find something they enjoyed.
Breakfast was delicious and different every morning, with fresh, high-quality products. I also dined at the Guest House, and the cuisine was truly top-notch.
The garden is a true paradise. Despite being close to the lively life of Canggu, it feels like being in the jungle, full of trees and flowers, with local fauna like squirrels, birds, and geckos.
The spa and services offered are of impeccable quality, with staff who listen and are incredibly gentle.
Moreover, the Guest House is ideally located; just a short walk from the beach and fabulous sunsets, as well as close to all necessary shops and services.
I felt at home at Serenity. I will definitely return. Thank you all immensely for this stay.

January 23, 2024 at 12:00 amI absolutely loved everything there! The yoga classes at this place are the best in the world. My favorite was definitely the Hatha classes with teacher Qino, but I also enjoyed the yin, power yoga, and sunset flow classes. Qino always gave clear instructions, made appropriate adjustments, and offered different options for all levels. The yoga shalas and rooms were very clean, and the food in the cafe was incredibly tasty and fresh. Everyone who works there is super friendly. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming, so you’ll never feel bored. I will definitely be returning! I will miss you guys!

January 19, 2024 at 12:00 amI didn’t like that they let people join the class after it had started. When people come in late, like 15 minutes or more, they try to squeeze in between mats and it’s really disruptive. I think it’s disrespectful to the yoga instructors and everyone else in the class. Most places I’ve been to don’t allow it. I had a great time there though. The yoga instructors, Diaz, Qino, and Yogi, were amazing. Their energy was infectious and they were so friendly. The classes were challenging but fun. The staff was really friendly too, and the place was beautiful in my opinion, with lots of plants around the pool.

October 4, 2023 at 12:00 amI wasn’t a big fan of Canggu, but it’s not the center’s fault. If you value your privacy, make sure to book a room with a private bathroom. The single rooms without a bathroom are cheaper, but they’re so tiny that I felt claustrophobic. The staff is incredibly friendly and they go out of their way to prioritize sustainability, local produce, and organic food. The restaurant and yoga classes are fantastic. The dorms are spacious and great if you enjoy this type of travel. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, especially if you’re into surfing since the spot is so close.

April 27, 2023 at 12:00 amWe enjoyed our month-long stay at Serenity and wished we could have stayed longer. We tried out all of the yoga classes and loved the variety of practices and the wonderful teachers. The pool area was perfect for relaxation, and the resort staff were always friendly and attentive to our needs.
However, the only downside was the lack of comfort in some of the private rooms. We tried four different rooms and unfortunately, all of the mattresses were uncomfortable. It got to the point where we would wake up in the middle of the night with back pain. We highly recommend avoiding the Tarzan room as it lacks AC, privacy, and collects smoke from nearby fires. Even the resort staff sometimes smoked us out in the morning when they were boiling water for the restaurant. We let them know about the issue and they were accommodating enough to stop, but there are others in the neighborhood who burn garbage and rice fields, so be aware.
On a positive note, the Alkaline restaurant at the resort is good. The prices are reasonable and the food is healthy. The breakfast buffet was decent, but if you’re willing to spend a little more money, there are better food options nearby.

March 3, 2023 at 12:00 amOther teachers are good too, but they don’t adjust students. I went to 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 can’t do inversions without someone assisting me, or I might end up injuring myself.

January 19, 2023 at 12:00 amMake sure to research Canggu before booking your stay. I wish I had done that because it wasn’t what I expected. It has been taken over by Westerners and springbreakers. Most of the businesses are now owned by foreigners. But if you’re looking to party and see lots of surfers, Canggu is the place to be.
The room I booked was small – just one single bed, no desk, and one dresser. It had two windows, one facing the bathroom/shower area and the other facing the side alley where people were smoking (even though it’s supposed to be a non-smoking resort). It was inconvenient because I could hear people coming in and out of the bathroom/shower and sometimes I could even smell the cigarettes in my room.
The WiFi didn’t reach my room, so making video calls or streaming online was impossible. Other rooms seemed to have no issues with WiFi though. Not ideal for a 30-day yoga retreat.
After a few nights, I asked if I could change rooms or upgrade for an additional cost, but they told me they were fully booked and couldn’t do any room swaps.
In the end, I ended up cancelling my stay after the first week and leaving Canggu. However, despite the accommodation issues, the yoga classes were amazing. The teachers were talented, knowledgeable, and great at communicating. Highly recommended! The staff at the center were also lovely and brought a positive vibe to the environment. The pool area was beautiful, although there weren’t many places to sunbathe. The pool itself was rarely crowded, so that was a plus. I also had a great Balinese massage at the spa center, and the prices were reasonable considering the expertise and the location.
Overall, I would definitely do yoga again at this facility, but unfortunately, my accommodation experience wasn’t the best.

October 27, 2022 at 12:00 amThe dogs they have can get a little noisy at night, but I could easily go back to sleep with earplugs, so it wasn’t really a problem! Serenity has this magical power to help you relax and escape the busyness of Canggu. You can really immerse yourself in the calming green atmosphere it creates. The teachers there are amazing, each with their own unique qualities. There’s a great variety of classes for you to choose from each day.
My room was simple but cleaned every day, and I felt very comfortable. The showers and toilets were regularly cleaned, and the staff were all so positive and helpful. Every morning we had breakfast with fruit and homemade raw breads, along with a different hot option each day like Balinese porridge, scrambled tofu, or banana pancakes. It was all incredibly delicious. The food for lunch and dinner was just as amazing and always fresh and wholesome.
I stumbled upon this place and it’s definitely a gem. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Bali.

March 30, 2020 at 12:00 amIt was my first time in Bali and overall, I was mostly disappointed with the town of Canggu, very touristy with a superficial “Instagram” vibe. Basically, everything is done for tourists so if you’re looking for authenticity, I don’t recommend this town. There’s also a lot of pollution, which can make the sea dirty on certain rainy days.
Regarding Serenity, the dorm I stayed in was clean (cleaned every day) and decent, although there were insects, especially crabs, which was a bit unpleasant but nothing major. Once we mentioned it to the staff, they did everything they could to fix the issue.
The big downside for me was the health aspect, let me explain. From January to March 2020, many people got sick, including myself. We thought there might be a bacteria (maybe in the water) causing the fever, diarrhea, and vomiting we experienced. However, we don’t know more about it, but it was tough for many other tourists staying at Serenity.
However, I don’t blame the Serenity staff, who must have been bothered by this problem too. For my first solo trip, I decided to go to a center that offers yoga classes so 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 stunning with a beautiful pool, the staff is always smiling 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 mood, which made it easy to connect and allowed me to experience unforgettable moments. A big thank you for the three Balinese massages that were included with the month-long package.
I recommend Serenity, and even though Canggu wasn’t a favorite town for me, I would go back just for the kindness of the teachers and staff.

March 20, 2020 at 12:00 amSometimes the toilet seats in the shared bathroom facilities would be dirty, but that’s because inconsiderate guests don’t clean up after themselves. One of the instructors ignored my request to have some private practice time, even though I had set up my card to indicate that. The accommodations are simple and eco friendly, and the staff is incredibly helpful and kind. You won’t believe how incredible the vegan breakfast buffet is! The pool area is so peaceful, and the yoga classes are pretty good. Most of the instructors focus more on the modern style of yoga, which emphasizes movement. But some of them also incorporate more traditional practices into their classes. There’s definitely a class and teacher for everyone here! Plus, the beach is really close by (and it’s a fantastic surf spot) and there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this place!

March 15, 2020 at 12:00 amWe couldn’t find a key to use for the dorm room. The bathrooms weren’t cleaned properly. The beds were uncomfortably hard. If you sleep on the bottom bunk, expect centipedes crawling on you at night. The area here is very damp, so unless you leave the dorm, you’ll never feel clean or dry. Unfortunately, the food made people sick, so I didn’t have breakfast there and ate somewhere else instead. Maybe it was just my bad luck with this dorm. Other people seemed to be fine. The yoga classes were lots of fun, and the teachers were extremely friendly and helpful, especially if you’re new to yoga. The pool is nice. The location is great because it’s only a 10-minute walk to the main area, making it secluded and peaceful. The staff are lovely and always accommodating. We had no hot water, but as soon as I reported it, they fixed it right away. It’s a fantastic place to meet people, and staff and security are available 24/7.

March 14, 2020 at 12:00 amI left the guesthouse feeling slightly disheartened because someone stole my treasured bracelet, as well as my towel and bikini from the rack. The staff did their best to help, taking down my name and room number in case the items were found, and I’m really grateful for that. However, I still can’t help but feel a bit bitter about it. The staff were really friendly, and you could take a quick 2-minute shuttle from S1 to S2 whenever you wanted instead of walking for 10 minutes in the dark. The food was absolutely amazing and such a great deal. The pool was just perfect, and I had a fantastic time in every yoga class (although I left the retreat after a week with sore muscles everywhere, haha!). I want to thank Serenity for giving me an incredible holiday.

March 10, 2020 at 12:00 amIn Serenity 2, the roosters were very loud (louder than expected) and the bathroom smelled bad at times. Construction was also taking place in front of the main building, which added to the noise. In my opinion, the Dorms here at Serenity 1 weren’t as lovingly furnished as in Serenity 2. However, the staff was very nice, helpful, and accommodating. The food was good, the yoga classes were mostly great, and the location was fantastic. The pool was also very nice, and overall, I felt comfortable.
Although Serenity 2 doesn’t have air conditioning, each bed has its own fan, which is a plus. Mosquito nets are attached to all beds in both buildings – a very positive aspect.

February 17, 2020 at 12:00 amThe restaurant at the Piscine hotel is a definite no-go! The banana bread tastes like playdough, and if you don’t want to be sick for four days like me and many others at the hotel (strangely enough), avoid the restaurant and eat outside for better and cheaper options.
The breakfast was bland. Sure, we knew it was vegan, but everything had no flavor. When they ran out of pineapple jam and we asked for more because we don’t like papaya, they said it wasn’t possible because they had to finish the papaya.
We didn’t eat lunch or dinner at the restaurant, so when we asked for two spoons, they couldn’t lend them to us. We paid 120 euros for a week for the room and yoga, but unlimited yoga for a week costs 60 euros, and we found that the room (or rather, the bed in a dormitory) is not worth 10 euros per night.
The staff is not very welcoming, and there aren’t really any nice places to relax if you don’t consume anything at the restaurant. It’s a shame because we were excited to try the yoga experience in Canggu.
The aerial yoga class was great. The location is convenient, and the room and common areas are clean.

February 12, 2020 at 12:00 amBreakfasts at the resort were dull and unimaginative – it was the same boring thing every single day, and the quality was really low. They really need to step up their game when it comes to cleanliness too. Having smelly dogs in the restaurant is definitely not a brilliant idea! However, I must say, the yoga teaching and facilities were absolutely top-notch. The accommodation was decent considering the price, and the food was alright, although the breakfasts noticeably went downhill over time. It’s worth mentioning that quite a few people at the resort fell sick and blamed it all on the bacterial infection they got from eating the resort food.

However, I must say that the staff at Serenity 2 were incredibly kind and helpful. The breakfast they served was not only vegan but also absolutely delicious. I couldn’t resist trying their cakes and visiting their restaurant too, and let me tell you, everything was vegan and absolutely amazing.
What I really loved about the whole place was how everything seemed to perfectly align with their focus on food, yoga, spa, and permaculture. It’s not just that they have all these things, but even the chemicals they use in the pool are carefully chosen. It’s impressive!
I got the chance to join an ecstatic dance session lead by the incredible Deva, and it was truly awesome! The only thing missing was a proper sound system. Nonetheless, my absolute favorite part was the aerial yoga class. Trust me, it’s a must-try experience!
Throughout my stay, I always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was truly a lovely experience at Serenity 2.

January 20, 2020 at 12:00 amI really enjoyed the food at first, but it started to get boring after a while with many similar dishes. I tried to avoid salads because they were washed in the general water, but most of their dishes had raw ingredients. I’m not exactly sure what their vegan alkaline diet consists of, but I wish they had more dishes based on legumes. We did have moong beans one day for breakfast, but it was an unusual sweet porridge. Overall, breakfast was alright, but the fresh juices were more like purees instead of actual juice.
I noticed there was a jacuzzi at one end of the pool, but I couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. While our room was centrally located, some of the other accommodations were quite far away and the road leading to them could get busy at times. I wouldn’t want to stay at those alternative places, even if they offer a shuttle service. Despite these concerns, I would definitely go back.
Booking unlimited yoga classes may have been a bit too ambitious, but we managed to participate in at least one class per day, sometimes two. There were so many different types and difficulty levels to choose from, and they were available from 7 am to 7 pm. The instructors were all very good, and the facilities were top-notch. In fact, all the staff were incredibly helpful and seemed dedicated to more than just their job. The place was always kept very clean, and it provided a peaceful environment to relax in. The pool area was fantastic, and our ensuite room right by the pool was perfect. The spa treatments were also exceptional and reasonably priced. Plus, the beach was just a short walk away.

January 16, 2020 at 12:00 amI 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 big, very loud, wobbly metal gate that gets opened and closed all night by people coming and going.
The room is very noisy because the door is a sliding door that doesn’t close completely. The beds are very comfortable though! The AC is very quiet and the pool is very clean.
Breakfast is good, but mostly sweet. They always have cut fruit, bread with sweet spreads, and a warm dish (baked banana or porridge).

December 21, 2019 at 12:00 amI’m not sure what was going on there, but literally everyone who stayed in the dorm, including myself, and many people in other rooms too, experienced this terrible 24-hour vomiting and diarrhea sickness. It could have been the breakfast we all had, or maybe something related to sanitation or water quality. It could even be a 24-hour flu that lingers there because of the constant flow of people. Regardless, every single person in the dorm got sick, and this happened over the 10 days I was there.
On a positive note, I really enjoyed the yoga sessions in the open air studios. The pool was absolutely beautiful, and the WiFi was decent.

September 9, 2019 at 12:00 amI stayed at the Serene rooms, which were just a short distance from the main building. The rooms were really nice, although I wasn’t a fan of being woken up at 4.30 every morning by the roosters and dogs right outside my window. It didn’t ruin my experience, but it definitely made it hard to get a good rest. No matter what I tried, like using ear plugs or headphones, I couldn’t block out the crazy noise they made every day.
But aside from that, the setting and concept of the place were fantastic. The vibes were great, and the staff were amazing. Kartana, the yoga instructor, was more in tune with my style of yoga and I really appreciated how he corrected my poses. Diaz, on the other hand, was incredible at yoga, but unfortunately, I wasn’t at his level. I would have preferred more physical corrections rather than just showing me because of my limited knowledge and experience in yoga.
The staff were super friendly and helpful, although I did have one weird experience. I think he was the office manager, but when I approached him at the desk, he just brushed me off and directed me to someone else on staff.
Overall, it was a super amazing experience and I would highly recommend Serenity Eco Lodge.

August 18, 2019 at 12:00 amThis guest house isn’t exactly what I had in mind for a yoga retreat. To me, a yoga retreat should have the same people, main teachers, and a structured program. Here, it’s more like a guest house with drop-in yoga classes. You might end up sharing a room with people who don’t even do yoga, so your schedules might not match up – like late nights out versus early mornings for yoga.
Despite this not being exactly what I had in mind, I really loved my experience here. It offers more flexibility, and for the price I paid, I couldn’t be happier. The teachers, yoga classes, variety, and helpful staff were all amazing. Plus, I made a lot of friends with the other guests.
The food was another highlight – healthy and delicious. I loved the banana smoothie and chia bowl. And they provide free water, which is great.

June 9, 2019 at 12:00 amIn sanitaire ruimtes worden de puntjes op de i gezet en veel mensen maken er gebruik van. Als je op zoek bent naar meer vertier zoals uitgaan en winkelen, moet je wel een stukje lopen, ongeveer 15 minuten. Dat is prima te doen overdag, maar ‘s avonds wat lastiger. Ik vond het een fijne plek om op Bali aan te komen. Het is er rustig en er zijn overal plekjes om je lekker te nestelen. Er worden veel goede yogalessen aangeboden en de Spa is heerlijk en betaalbaar. Het strand is slechts 2 minuten lopen. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

June 6, 2019 at 12:00 amMy room had a little noise, with a chicken singing all day long and scooters driving in the driveway. They offer many classes per day with different teachers throughout the week. All levels are welcome and they provide everything you need like mats, blocks, straps, and towels. It’s super easy to attend classes daily when staying at Serenity. The staff there are really helpful, understanding, and kind.

And being able to get a massage right at the lodge is so convenient if you just want to have a chill day and not go far. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing well-being break that won’t break the bank!

May 19, 2019 at 12:00 amThe yoga experience was amazing overall, with different teachers bringing unique approaches. I attended 81 classes in one month and only left one class, which was Hannah’s Sunset flow. It was a total waste of time with no physical or spiritual benefits. Yudah’s classes are decent, but his English could use improvement as the bad grammar and excessive talking can be irritating. Despite this language issue, I hope he can address it by learning proper English for his instructions.
The Alkaline restaurant has some issues with slow and chaotic service. Orders may be served out of order, putting pressure on guests with tight yoga schedules. The breakfast is fantastic, especially the sweet porridge. Improvements could be made by streamlining the kitchen, training waiters in better English, and considering the needs of guests following yoga schedules. The staff at Serenity is exceptional and goes above and beyond to assist guests.
I extended my stay multiple times and highly recommend the shared dorm with AC at Serenity 2. The atmosphere feels like a home away from the yoga studio and is more peaceful.
A special thanks to the yoga instructors – Diaz, Chitra, Mia, Nia, Yogi, Kartana, Mano, Ika Dewi, Todjon, Sida, Amanda, and Lala. Each of you brings something unique to the practice, and I learned a lot from each of you.

May 2, 2019 at 12:00 amI was taken aback when I had to hand over my passport upon arrival. I tried to pay cash for my first night at 1:30 am, but it seemed like the only way to get a room was to surrender my passport. This was really strange for me, as I’ve never had to do that before while traveling.
When I stayed in B7, a dog somehow made its way into the common area near the stairs to the toilet. The second night when I came down, the dog growled and barked aggressively, but luckily it ran away. I have to admit, I was a bit scared.
The yoga classes were tough, but the instructors made it enjoyable. The food was creative and imaginative, even though I’m not vegan, I liked trying out the menu. The pool and massage facilities were fantastic and went beyond my expectations.
The airport ride I pre-arranged was definitely worth it! The driver spoke good English and patiently waited for me for an entire 90 minutes during customs and immigration.

April 21, 2019 at 12:00 amOur room. Not a peaceful night’s rest. Right next to a dog breeder according to the person at the front desk… constant barking and roosters, impossible to sleep well even with earplugs. And these noises continue even during the day. Hearing dogs bark 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 cup of tea is not what I call convenient. The shower didn’t work properly, alternating between hot and cold water. For the price, the room is not acceptable… and not serene despite its name. The Serenity Center was nice with the pool, restaurant, and garden, but not being able to enjoy the services offered when not staying there is inconvenient – hot water, cold water, relaxation room, pool, breakfast, everything is there, thankfully we had a scooter because it wasn’t really close by. The yoga classes and equipment are perfect and there are classes available at any time of the day.

December 8, 2018 at 12:00 amIf you’re into camping, then Serenity is the place for you! Personally, it’s not my thing. The mosquitoes at the site are out of control and there’s not much being done about them besides turning off lights and using ineffective mosquito lotion. It’s not exactly a soothing retreat; it’s more like staying at a Guesthouse with a side of unlimited yoga. The class schedule only includes one beginners class and the other classes, though advertised as suitable for beginners, really aren’t. The quality of teaching varies a lot. Nia seems to care more about taking Instagram-worthy pics in Aerial yoga, Todjion is reluctant to provide adjustments, but Magdelena is a fantastic Vinyasa teacher who focuses on real yoga and offers variations for all levels.
During my stay, I had to go to the hospital and needed a doctor, but the staff didn’t seem bothered at all. It took them forever to find a doctor for me, leaving me waiting for over 4 hours. Not the best way to treat young solo travelers. The rooms were terrible, especially considering the price difference for aircon and a private bathroom. One bathroom was covered in dead moths and mosquitoes stuck to the toilet seat and shower. Plus, it was so noisy with parties, animals, and motorbikes.
On the plus side:

You can clean it yourself, but there is a lot of work to be done, so it is much better to have an organized group. The teachers are excellent, they help correct your postures, and the classes are very dynamic, focusing on deepening the asanas. All levels are welcome, which is great for us.

August 14, 2018 at 12:00 amSome of the bathrooms weren’t too desirable, but staff still kept them clean. Outside your dorms in the morning, it can get noisy with staff and the “fire man” as we started calling him, but if you’re up early anyway for yoga, you learn to deal. It would be nice though if the aircon could be on a timer so it doesn’t wake you every morning when they come in to shut it off. Also, it seems strange that they open the window as soon as they turn off the air. Wouldn’t you want to keep the cold air in as long as possible?! It would be great if the later, more relaxing yoga classes were in a quieter room. The motorbikes and people talking right under you can be very distracting. These are all minor things and wouldn’t stop me from returning 🙂 Everything exceeded my expectations. The classes had a good selection and great teachers.

July 23, 2018 at 12:00 amI loved everything about my stay at Serenity, but I had a bad experience with bug bites. One morning, I woke up with my entire back, shoulders, and feet covered in bites. There were so many that I had an allergic reaction. I don’t think they were mosquito bites, I believe they were bedbugs. The staff mentioned the bites could have come from bugs in the bamboo outside our rooms, but who really knows? I never actually saw any bugs, I just woke up with a hundred bites. People in my yoga class noticed my bites and mentioned they had similar issues. One girl even said that bedbugs were a common problem at Serenity and that’s why she doesn’t stay there, but she still comes to yoga class because it’s great. The staff tried to help by putting coconut oil on my bites, but the next day I had even more. It was too difficult to focus on yoga and meditation with the constant itching from the bites, so I decided to cancel my last week at Serenity and go to Ubud instead. It seems like the bug problem was mainly in the single rooms, the dorms seemed fine. Overall, Serenity is a great place for solo travelers looking for peace and tranquility, as well as the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and practice yoga in a beautiful setting. The location is fantastic, close to the beach, and the yoga classes are top-notch. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable.

Also, the place is way busier than I thought it would be based on the descriptions and website. This is mostly because of the pretty good restaurant and people walking in and out for yoga classes. With the lack of structure, it doesn’t feel like a retreat at all to me.

March 8, 2018 at 12:00 amThe philosophy of the yoga teachers varied a lot. I felt uncomfortable at times because it was all about pushing yourself harder and being the best at stretching in class. It really took away from the yoga experience, especially for those who were new to practicing yoga.
There was also a virus going around, with someone new feeling sick and needing to be near a toilet every day. We suspected it might have been the food at the restaurant, as no one had any issues before in Bali.
The staff took great care of me – bringing me water and charcoal tablets in the middle of the night and checking on me the next day. They were incredibly kind and helpful, making it easy to feel comfortable. They were truly exceptional!
My room, KrisKros, was very spacious and well-equipped: fridge, mosquito net, fan, air conditioning, you name it.
The package deal of accommodation and yoga pass was unbeatably affordable!
There were many different classes to choose from – I highly recommend trying out the meditation classes, they were really good.

I was truly surprised by the quality of everything there, but the worst part was having to leave.

February 22, 2018 at 12:00 amThe instructor let and encouraged people to take photos during the aerial class, which I found distracting. I think they should have waited until after class.
My partner and I got sick halfway through the retreat, so we had to stop doing yoga. We’re not sure where we got it from, but we only ate at one busy restaurant outside of Sanctuary. Others at Sanctuary also got sick, possibly because people weren’t properly wiping down mats and disinfecting cutlery and dishes.
The staff gave us a charcoal drink that helped, but being in Sanctuary 2, we felt a bit isolated. I asked for breakfast to be brought to us because we were so sick and didn’t get a response for 24 hours.
It’s a great deal, just be careful not to get sick! We spent three months in Asia without any issues and only got sick during our last week of travel. The classes were amazing, the pool area was beautiful, and the breakfast was delicious. The room had everything we needed and the free insect repellent was a nice touch. The staff were also very friendly.

January 18, 2018 at 12:00 amI 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 warm and welcoming place where they serve you with a smile and make you feel at home right away. I couldn’t stay in the main building because it was fully booked, so I stayed in Serenity 2 and rented a bike 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 different positions, and pushed me to do better. In just a short time, I felt stronger, lost weight from the amazing alkaline restaurant, and was at peace in my mind and soul. I didn’t want to leave this cozy place and wished I had booked for 4 weeks instead! 🙂

The first time they insisted I pay 110k, even though I had booked 3 classes online for 90k each. They said it was “high season” and the price had increased, leading to a lot of back-and-forth.

July 1, 2017 at 12:00 amI encountered a language barrier when addressing my concerns about losing my room key and leaving the next day. The manager had arranged for a driver to pick me up from a different location rather than the shuttle to the gilli islands the next morning. They mentioned deducting the cost of replacing the key from my deposit. However, I eventually found my lost key hidden in my backpack lining.
The next day, the driver from eco didn’t arrive so I had to walk to the main building to avoid missing my prepaid boat ride. Walking early in the morning wasn’t safe, and the shuttle driver wasn’t happy when we had to turn back for my luggage. Despite finding my key, I still had to pay for a replacement as per the instructions left for me.
I couldn’t discuss the situation further with the staff at eco, as they were unable to communicate with me or reach management. It was very frustrating. On top of that, there was a rooster outside my window that crowed all night, making it impossible to sleep.

May 28, 2017 at 12:00 amThe rooms were below average in cleanliness. I stayed in three different rooms – first, the shared dorms which were probably the best and cleanest. Then, I stayed in two other locations with my own room. In both rooms, the bedding was dirty. The first had blood on it, almost looking like someone had squashed a mosquito full of blood on the sheets. The second had white stains on the dark blanket that almost looked like sex juice. Both rooms were supposed to have hot water and AC. The shower in the first room didn’t work, and even after getting it fixed, there was no hot water. The AC was broken in the second room. I have to give credit to the staff though – when I brought up the issues, they had maintenance come in to fix the problems in the next few hours.
The staff was mostly nice, but the owner seemed quite rude. I was in the common area chatting on my phone when he rudely told me to leave while he was talking to the staff, gesturing aggressively for me to go. Some of the yoga teachers were lovely, but a few were downright arrogant and rude. One class felt like the teacher was a drill sergeant, and in another class, the teacher pushed me into a pose I wasn’t ready for, hurting my back. Pretty dangerous! Luckily, no serious damage done. Most of the yoga classes were good, but some teachers were horrible. The food at the restaurant was healthy and fresh. The location was great!
