Enjoy a 4-day surf and yoga vacation at our eco retreat center in Canggu, Bali, for a holistic and unforgettable experience.

Serenity is a fantastic place to stay. It has a great location and serves super healthy and delicious food. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took great care of me when I was sick, helping me get back on my feet quickly. The variety of yoga classes they offer is impressive, and each one I attended was excellent. I really enjoyed my time there and would definitely go back. I highly recommend it!

I started off 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 enduring 9 sweltering nights, a room with air conditioning opened up and I was able to switch. There were construction works just on the other side of my room wall, going on all day 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. And the workers kept coming and going through my small terrace, with one chair being off-limits 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 lasting only 3 minutes, the worn-out towels that didn’t smell fresh at all, the flood in my room every morning after a night of rain… Instead of fixing the issue, I was asked via email to put all my belongings up high.. If I had to do it over again, I would only opt for the yoga pass and stay elsewhere.
PS: I was in the Yang room. The pool is small but very peaceful and surrounded by greenery.
The yoga classes were really good. It’s great to have a month pass and decide day by day which classes to attend.
The staff is extremely kind and helpful. From the reception, to the restaurant, the security, the gardeners, the housekeeping staff,… thanks to them for everything!
Very close to the beach, in a rather quiet street. Very pleasant.

I didn’t dislike anything at all, I liked everything there! The best yoga classes in the world are there. My favorite was definitely Hatha classes (also yin, power yoga, and sunset flow) with teacher Qino! Qino always gave clear instructions, made appropriate adjustments, and offered different options for all levels. The yoga shalas and rooms are very clean. The food in the cafe is tasty and fresh. All the people who work there are very friendly. You’ll never be bored there, the atmosphere is always fun and friendly! I will definitely go back there again! I’ll miss you all!

They moved me to a more accessible room.

I absolutely loved every aspect of my experience with Serenity Eco Guesthouse! Everything exceeded my expectations. From the fantastic location to the amazing yoga classes and the incredibly kind staff, it truly felt like a second home. And let me tell you, the food at Alkaline restaurant on the guesthouse premises was a big plus! They had a variety of yoga instructors and styles, all of whom were experienced and made sure to cater the class to our individual needs. I’m definitely planning on returning again.

I stayed in a room that was basically in the common area, where people talked on the phone every night until late. Because the room didn’t have any windows, it felt extra hot. The classes offered a wide range of options, and the community of fellow travelers was simply beautiful.

Everything has been absolutely awesome.

Across the road, they were doing some construction which, honestly, messed with the peaceful atmosphere a little. But hey, it wasn’t enough to completely ruin my experience. I absolutely adore that place! It has such a tranquil vibe overall. And let me tell you, the food there is incredibly nourishing, yummy, and reasonably priced. The yoga classes are so varied, and the instructors are super professional. Not to mention, the staff are all delightful. I seriously can’t get enough of this place. I’ve already been twice this year, and you bet I’ll be back again whenever I can!

I wasn’t a big 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 value your privacy. The single rooms without a bathroom are cheaper, but they are so small that I felt claustrophobic. The entire staff is incredibly friendly and they go to great lengths to embrace sustainability, support local communities, and serve organic food. The restaurant and yoga classes are absolutely fantastic. The dorms are spacious and perfect for travelers who enjoy that kind of accommodation. Overall, it was a really nice experience, especially if you’re into surfing because the spot is conveniently close.

They initially did not correctly receive my reservation, so they put me in another room than what I had requested. They also had faulty communication about this… But hey, the classes were excellent and the food was amazing!

The courses were a great experience even for higher levels, and I found the teachers to be competent and highly trained as well as friendly. The courses weren’t overcrowded, and the accommodation was lovingly furnished.

Some places, such as the bathrooms and yogi dorm, might benefit from a thorough floor cleaning and some handy-fixing, especially the showers. At Serenity, the staff is incredible – always smiling, welcoming, and ready to assist. The yoga classes are fantastic, and the teachers are highly skilled. You’ve got to try the food at Alkaline, their restaurant. Trust me, their chocolate cake is the absolute best! The overall atmosphere is amazing, and many people who initially planned to stay for a short while 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. The room had no hot shower and the energy was really bad. It was dark and not a pleasant stay. However, I found another accommodation and I’m glad I did! The yoga and main building, on the other hand, were absolutely incredible. The pool and jungle-like atmosphere created an amazing vibe. The yoga teachers were all excellent and there was a great variety of classes and levels. They provided all the necessary supplies and all the teachers spoke English really well.

I want to attend 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, with such friendly and polite staff who are incredibly helpful. The yoga trainers are highly professional, and they offer a wide range of classes every day. They even have special events almost every day! Plus, the location near the sea is perfect, with a stunning beach nearby. The food is also incredibly healthy and delicious. I will definitely be returning there again. It was truly amazing!

The noise around the premises is the only downside, but it’s not really their fault – just something worth mentioning. There’s a lot of construction going on nearby, so some classes can get pretty noisy. And if you’re staying at Seabreeze, be prepared for roosters right outside. If you’re a light sleeper, it’s better to choose Serenity itself. It’s a bit quieter there. On the bright side, the yoga class selection was fantastic! All the teachers were absolutely amazing! The staff was always smiling and ready to help. And let’s not forget about the amazing breakfast – it was absolutely delicious!

One thing that really upset me here was the cat situation. They left behind a small kitten, abandoned the mom and another kitten, and unfortunately, the mom passed away, leaving her baby all alone. Sometimes, he went hungry, but me and some other girls were there to take care of them. Oh, let me tell you, the yoga instructors are absolutely amazing! I absolutely adored their classes. But you know what really stands out for me? It’s the staff! Everyone at reception, the cleaning crew, and the breakfast staff are incredibly kind and sweet. I’m gonna miss them the most.

We stayed in Serenity for a whole month and we really wanted to stay even longer. We tried out almost all the yoga classes and we absolutely loved all the teachers and the variety of practices. The pool area is perfect for kicking back and relaxing, plus the resort staff was incredibly friendly and attentive to our every need.

The only downside to Serenity is that some of the private rooms lack comfort. We tried out four different rooms and all of the mattresses were uncomfortable. They were so bad that we woke up in the middle of the night with back pain. Trust us, you’ll want to avoid the Tarzan room at all costs. It doesn’t have air conditioning or any privacy, and it tends to get filled with smoke from nearby fires. Even the resort staff would sometimes smoke us out in the morning while trying to boil water for the restaurant. We mentioned it to them and they were very accommodating and stopped, but unfortunately, other people in the neighborhood burn garbage and rice fields, so the smoke can still be an issue. Just a heads up!

The Alkaline restaurant is pretty good. The prices are reasonable and the food is really healthy. The breakfast buffet was decent, but you can find even better options nearby for just a little more money.

Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely go back!

We didn’t have eggs for breakfast. The yoga classes and breakfast were awesome! It would be nice to have some eggs.

Other teachers are good as well, but they don’t adjust students. I went to Kemi’s class to learn inversion, but she doesn’t teach it step by step. Instead, she simply told me, “You won’t be able to do it if you don’t try.” However, I can’t do inversions without someone assisting me because I might injure myself. The yoga classes with Kartana, Mano, Quino, and Yogi are excellent. These teachers not only adjust students but also passionately transfer their knowledge.

Make sure to do some research about Canggu before you go. I didn’t and it wasn’t what I expected. The place has been taken over by westerners and party-goers. Most of the businesses are now owned by foreigners. But if you’re looking for a party scene and lots of surfers, then Canggu is the place to be.

The room I booked was small, with just one single bed, no desk, and a dresser. There were two windows – one facing the bathroom and shower area, and the other facing the alley where people would smoke (even though it was supposed to be a smoke-free resort). It was really inconvenient because I could hear people coming in and out of the bathroom and sometimes smell cigarettes in my room.

The WiFi didn’t reach my room, so making video calls or streaming online was impossible. Other rooms didn’t seem to have this issue though. Not great for a serene yoga retreat that I was hoping for.

After a few nights, I asked if I could change rooms or pay more for an upgrade, but they said they were fully booked and their system couldn’t do room swaps.

In the end, I canceled my stay after the first week and left Canggu. On the bright side, the yoga classes at the facility were amazing. The teachers were talented and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them. The staff were also lovely and created a positive vibe throughout the center. The pool area was beautiful, although there wasn’t much space for sunbathing. The pool itself was rarely crowded though. I also had a great Balinese massage at the spa center next to the pool. The prices were good considering the expertise and location.

Overall, I would definitely do yoga at this facility again, but unfortunately, my accommodation experience wasn’t the best.

The vegan breakfast buffet could definitely improve. They should consider giving in-house guests a small a la carte menu instead. I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place, it was so calm and quiet.

The dormitory is mixed, but it would be better if we had separate rooms for each gender. We offer awesome yoga classes, great food, a convenient location, and an amazing staff.

The dogs they have can get a little barky at night, but I easily went back to sleep with earplugs, so it wasn’t a problem at all! Serenity has this magical power to help you unwind from the busyness of Canggu and fully embrace its serene green atmosphere. The teachers are all unique and have 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 regularly cleaned the showers and toilets, and they were always positive and helpful. Every morning, breakfast included fruit and homemade raw breads, along with a different hot element like Balinese porridge, scrambled tofu, or banana pancakes, and it was all incredibly delicious. The meals I had for lunch and dinner were also amazing, made with fresh and wholesome ingredients. I stumbled upon this place and it was a fantastic discovery. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Bali.

Everything was perfect.

The staff at the place was super kind and helpful, the yoga courses were great, and my first surf lesson was awesome! The vegan breakfast they served was delicious. Plus, everything in Canggu is within walking distance, and it’s only a 5-minute walk to the beach. I had such an amazing time!

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

It was my first time in Bali, and overall, I was mainly disappointed by the town of Canggu. It’s very touristy and has a superficial “instagram” vibe. Basically, everything is catered towards tourists, so if you’re looking for authenticity, I would not recommend this town. Pollution is also quite prevalent, which can make the sea dirty on rainy days.

Regarding Serenity, the dormitory I stayed in was clean (cleaned daily) and decent, although there were insects, particularly crabs, which was a bit unpleasant, but nothing major. Once we mentioned it to the staff, they did everything to fix the issue.

The biggest downside for me was health-related. From January to March 2020, many people fell ill, including myself. We thought a bacteria (possibly in the water) might be the cause of 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 problem as well. For my first solo trip, I decided to go to a center that offers yoga classes to not be alone in a new country and have the opportunity to 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 make connections and have unforgettable moments. A big thank you for the three Balinese massages included with the one-month package.

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

We couldn’t find a key to use in the dorm room. The bathrooms weren’t too clean. The beds were uncomfortably hard. If you sleep on the bottom bunk, be prepared for centipedes crawling on you at night. The area here is so damp that 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. Maybe it was just my dorm that had these issues, as others seemed fine. However, the yoga classes were really enjoyable, and the teachers were incredibly fun and helpful, especially if you’re new to yoga. The pool is great. The location is good because it’s a quiet hideaway, only a 10-minute walk from the main area. The staff is lovely and accommodating. When we had no hot water, they fixed it immediately after I mentioned it. It’s a wonderful place to meet people, and the staff and security are available 24/7.

I was blown away by how amazing the yoga instructors were. They all delivered exceptional classes.

I really enjoyed everything. The stuff was always nice and helpful. Among the yoga instructors, I particularly liked Kartana because he was very clear and helpful.

De sfeer bij deze plek is echt geweldig, de yoga lessen en workshops zijn zo leuk om te doen. De locatie is perfect, met een prachtig zwembad en het strand vlakbij. Het personeel is echt super vriendelijk.

The swimming pool, the staff’s kindness.

Breakfasts at the resort were so dull and unimaginative. It was the same old thing every single day, and the quality was seriously lacking. They really need to step up their game when it comes to hygiene standards. I mean, having stinky dogs in the restaurant? That’s just asking for trouble!

On a brighter note, the yoga teaching and facilities were absolutely fantastic. I can’t complain about that. As for the accommodation, it was decent enough considering the price. The food was alright, but I have to say, the breakfasts got worse and worse as time went on. It’s no wonder there were so many sick people at the resort. They all claimed it was a bacterial infection from eating the food here. Yikes!

I can’t think of anything, but my first solo yoga trip at Serenity Eco guest-house and Yoga exceeded my expectations. The place had a really chill vibe and was super eco-friendly, which made it incredibly relaxing. I felt such a peaceful vibe there. The staffs were so kind and helpful, and the yoga classes were absolutely amazing. I wish I could have stayed longer. I’m definitely coming back for more classes. Huge thank you to all the staff and yoga instructors for making my trip so enjoyable!

I stayed at Serenity 2 and it was really close to some local houses. The roosters and dogs woke me up a couple of times, but the staff was so kind and helpful. The breakfast was amazing, all vegan and delicious. I also had some cakes at the restaurant, which were also vegan and really good. The whole place really matched their food offer, yoga, spa, and permaculture around the property. They even care about the chemicals in the pool, which is pretty cool! I joined an ecstatic dance session lead by Deva and it was absolutely awesome! The only thing they need is a proper sound system. My favorite part was definitely the aerial yoga class – you have to try it at least once! Overall, I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of during my stay. It was just lovely!

I stayed at serenety2. There were a lot of chickens and roosters around, but they didn’t bother me at all. The entrance is a big, noisy, 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. The beds are very comfortable! The air conditioning is very quiet. The pool is very clean.

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

The room itself is small, with just a bed and a mosquito net, which is all you really need. The bathroom was cleaned every day.

The breakfast is not varied enough.
I stayed at Serenity Guesthouse 2 and had to bring my belongings every time for the pool, yoga… because there wasn’t a room at Serenity Guesthouse. The yoga classes were amazing with very competent instructors.
The dishes are also delicious and the Vegan pastries are to die for.

I’m not sure what was going on there, but every single new person who stayed in the dorm, including myself (and plenty of people in other rooms too), experienced this awful 24-hour sickness with vomiting and diarrhea. It could’ve been the breakfast they served, or maybe something related to cleanliness or water quality. Or perhaps it was just a 24-hour flu that thrives in that place due to the constant flow of people. Regardless, every single person in the dorm (and even those in other rooms) fell ill during my 10-day stay. On the bright side, the yoga sessions were fantastic, especially in the open air studios. The pool was stunning, and the wifi was decent. The location couldn’t have been better, just a few minutes from the beach. It was a really relaxed atmosphere, and the customer service was impressively helpful and friendly.

Breakfast needs more variety, like adding in some herbal teas. But apart from that, I have nothing to complain about. This place honestly felt like home to me as a solo female traveler, and I made so many friends. The yoga options were amazing and there was a lot of variety. The food was always fresh and healthy. The staff were always happy and welcoming. They had a wide range of accommodations to fit any budget or desire. The pool area was beautiful and serene. I would definitely come back!

Excellent, je n’ai rien à redire…

The food at eco serenity was absolutely amazing! It left me feeling so cleansed and refreshed! The workers there were really lovely and welcoming, and they made my stay really enjoyable! The yoga teachers were incredibly beautiful. They left me feeling so relaxed and inspired to lead a life full of balance and self-care! My overall impression of the place was just amazing! Thanks for everything! I will definitely be coming back.

I didn’t have any dislikes. I absolutely loved the food and the yoga classes.

The room could be more comfortable, it’s too simple. The shower was almost cold every day and could be cleaner, too. The food was excellent, and the yoga teachers and staff were excellent and very kind. The safe in the room was practical. The permaculture and pool area is very relaxing!

You should absolutely avoid staying around Serenity 1 & 2 and Kris Kros: there are roosters (fighting cocks) that sing all night, accompanied by dogs, and to top it off, on the weekends there’s a parade of surfer scooters that come to party, ensuring sleepless nights… The nearby beach is alright, but the sea can be rough with black sand and lots of surfers, including young ones… The instructors are excellent though. The accommodation in the heart of the complex is very good, so don’t get it wrong… The vegan food is good and the breakfast is pleasant…

Every single night, someone woke me up from my sleep for seven nights. The person in the room above me would stay up and pace around, dropping things to the floor around midnight. One night, they even did it at 2:30 am, which was loud enough to wake me up and keep me from sleeping well. Despite the disturbance, I loved the setting and decor, and the staff and 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 remarkable thing is the humility and kindness of the staff, people who have their hearts in the right place and work sincerely. I often saw them gathering together, probably to always improve. 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 eventually get used to it. They give you earplugs which are helpful. They welcome you warmly, and the quality-price ratio is good. The food is delicious, and the yoga and spa facilities are fabulous.

The constant building work going on every morning at 7 am in my room slightly put me off. I wish they had informed us about this when we checked in. Despite that, I really enjoyed the yoga classes. They were not overcrowded and the instructors were very helpful. I tried aerial yoga for the first time and absolutely loved it! I would definitely do it again in England.

I highly recommend this place because it has a great location, amazing instructors, and a friendly and helpful staff.

I had a truly awesome stay at this place. The rooms were so cosy and clean, and the staff was super helpful. I enjoyed every single minute of it! All the classes and teachers really did a great job in helping out wherever they could. I would totally recommend this place to everyone!

This place is perfect for a yoga holiday. I spent 2 weeks there, and I chose two week-long class passes at 900K each. The trip was wonderfully relaxing and really boosted my yoga practice and fitness. They offer so many classes in different styles, with lots of teachers, various rooms, massages and treatments available, a pool, accommodation, and a delicious on-site vegan restaurant where guests get a complimentary breakfast. It was absolutely stunning.

I imagine some people might be sensitive to insects and nature, but that wasn’t the case for me. Just so you know, Serenity’s eco-friendly approach means there’s a lot of lively wildlife around their facilities. It was my first time in Bali and I wanted to take it easy, so Canggu and the Serenity Eco Guesthouse were the perfect fit for me. Check-in was a breeze and they quickly filled me in on all the amenities they had to offer, which was a lot. I really enjoyed the Balinese massage, and the Ashtanga and Aerial Yoga classes were top-notch. The Alkaline restaurant’s sugar- and gluten-free concept was a hit with me, and their raw bars and smoothie bowls were delicious. The resort is close to Canggu’s main street but in a quieter area, perfect for evening meditation and yoga sessions. And let me tell you, the surfing lesson was the highlight of my trip!

Serenity 2 is an amazing place to stay, but roosters will wake you up really early if you have light sleep or don’t use earplugs. Everything was excellent – the place, swimming pool area, massage, breakfasts, and most importantly, the YOGA classes! I really enjoyed my unlimited 7 days! Thanks again, guys!

My room had a bit of noise, with a chicken singing all day and scooters driving in the driveway. There are many classes available each day, with various teachers throughout the week. All levels can join, 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 at Serenity Eco Guesthouse and Yoga a little disappointing and they became repetitive after the second day, but overall we loved our stay! The classes were excellent, the room was exceptional, and the hotel facilities were fantastic. We wish we could have stayed longer at this lovely place!

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 for me when I travel.

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

The yoga classes were challenging, a bit more difficult than I expected, but the instructors made it fun! The food was creative and imaginative. I’m not vegan, but I enjoyed trying the menu. The pool and the 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 minutes.

Uh, so like, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to dogs, you know? But I really appreciate the way the class and location are organized. It was such a special and unforgettable experience. Thanks a bunch! I totally recommend it!

Our room. No peaceful night. Just next to a dog breeder according to the receptionist. Constant barking and roosters made it impossible to sleep well even with earplugs. And these noises continued 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 1.5 km for a tea is not what I call convenient. The shower didn’t work properly, sometimes hot water, sometimes cold. For the budget, the room is not up to par… and not serene despite its name. The Serenity center was nice, with a pool, restaurant, and garden, but if you don’t stay there, you can’t enjoy the services like hot water, cold water, relaxation room, pool, or breakfast. Everything is there thankfully we had a scooter because it was really not close by. The yoga classes and equipment are perfect, with classes available all day.

De lessen in de tuin zijn echt super top qua prijs-kwaliteitverhouding.

The staff here at Serenity Guest House really made this experience smooth. 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 that doesn’t take away from indulging in nature.

I want to give a big thank you to everyone at Serenity Guest House .

– I didn’t find the spa quality to be the best during my trip.
– I suspected bed bugs, but I requested extra cleaning and they took care of it right away.
– The place has lovely vegetation and a nice pool.
– The yoga rooms and teachers were great.
– They provided very good service.
– I enjoyed the local breakfast.

The staff always helped us as quickly as possible whenever we had any problems like no hot water or a pipe breaking. We didn’t experience any negatives at the open Eco-style facility – the restaurant served great food and the staff was polite.

The staff at the restaurant were incredibly friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and the location was amazing.

Those bedbugs were the worst! They kept eating me alive every night. I had to wear toga pants, a long sleeve top, and socks just to try and get some sleep. But despite all that, I didn’t want to leave because it was such a great stay. Everything about the retreat was enjoyable – the layout, the staff, the spa girls, and the yoga classes. What a lovely experience!

Everything was perfect. The room was great, small but no need for more. The yoga schedule is very diverse. The staff at the guest house is lovely (special mention to evi and ningrum). The restaurant is delicious, the pool is very pleasant. In short, it’s a little piece of paradise just a 2-minute walk from the beach. And all for an unbeatable price.

The rooms don’t all have keys, there have been lots of bedbug problems, and the reception area, 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 tough time getting these things back, especially the money. I loved the yoga and the beautiful area, but I wouldn’t stay there again because it’s not secure at all. It’s a nice location with mostly good people around, and it seems peaceful at first.

Some rooms may seem improbable, but this place is amazing. They offer yoga classes, delicious organic food, a swimming pool, and they’re only 200m from the beach. The staff really makes you feel at home. I will definitely come back one day!

I booked a surf lesson included in the price, but the receptionist told me a day later after I paid that it was a mistake. They have bad organization. It’s also weird that they cancelled my surf lesson because I booked with booksurfcamps.com… I liked the pool, free massage and vegan options.

They are not continuing to clean the beach, which is bad because the beach needs to be taken care of. You can do it alone, but there is a lot to do, so joining an organized group is much better. The teachers are very good and they help correct postures during dynamic classes that work deep in the asanas. All levels are welcome, which was good for us. The staff is very friendly and kind. The restaurant serves nice food, with a huge and delicious breakfast. Housekeeping comes every day to clean the rooms.

I wish someone had helped me figure out my goals and how much yoga I should be doing as a beginner. I did 3-4 classes a day and ended up injuring my knee. I realized I was overdoing it after doing some research. The food was fantastic and the staff was amazing.

There are mosquitoes everywhere, especially during the evening practice, at “Serenity” – but I still love the place. The people working there are so helpful and always smiling. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it’s just a stone’s throw away from the beach. The food is incredible, and the classes are definitely worth it.

This place has a great vibe, the people are super nice and you just want to stay longer. I would definitely come back without hesitation.

The mosquitoes there are so annoying, sometimes I had a small mosquito net that couldn’t protect me. Food is expensive, but the retreat is cheap. The cozy corner was sometimes crowded. I think there should be a room with normal comfortable chairs, not just Japan style. Everything was great. Yoga there was amazing!

I loved everything about my stay at Serenity, except for the bug bites I got 🙁 One morning, I woke up to find my entire back, shoulders, and feet covered in bites. There were so many that I had an allergic reaction. I think they were bedbugs, but the staff said they were from bugs outside in the bamboo…who knows? I never even saw any bugs, just woke up with 100 bites 🙁 People in my yoga class noticed all my bites and mentioned that bedbugs are a common issue at Serenity. One girl even said she doesn’t stay there anymore because of it, just comes to yoga class. The staff was nice and tried to help by putting coconut oil on my bites, but I woke up with more bites the next day, so it didn’t really work. I ended up canceling my last week at Serenity and going to Ubud instead. It was hard to focus on yoga and meditation with all the itching from the bites :/ It seems like the bug problem was mainly in the single rooms, the dorms were fine. Despite all that, Serenity is a great place for solo travelers looking for peace, relaxation, and to meet like-minded people while practicing yoga in a beautiful setting 🙂 The location is great, close to the beach, and the yoga classes are excellent. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I particularly enjoyed Kartana and Pusba’s classes, but there is something 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 made my experience there not as good. The yoga, atmosphere, and food were perfect though.

It’s an incredible place to relax and enjoy yoga. All the people who work there are very friendly and welcoming! I will definitely come back!

I loved everything! My stay at Serenity Ecolodge was amazing. The yoga instructors really helped me as a beginner, and the staff at Serenity and Alkeline were so friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere and surroundings were perfect. I can’t find a single fault with my time at Serenity. Huge thanks to the whole team!

There are bed bugs in the dorm. I changed dorms three times and still couldn’t get rid of them. The staff is really helpful and nice. They do their best to help you out.

Spaces, cleaning, and yoga are important.

Serenity is not disappointing at all. It’s simply perfect! The friendly and helpful staff make sure you can enjoy healthy food whenever you want. Plus, the beach is only 5 minutes away. You’ll love the great yoga classes available all day long. And don’t worry, other treatments are affordable too.

The food is amazing, the location is great, the staff is excellent, and there are plenty of yoga classes and teachers to choose from. Plus, getting there is easy with convenient transportation options.

I had to leave after the first night because bed bugs were eating me, so I got a refund from the manager the next day. The spring rolls were really good.

I don’t think this place qualifies as a yoga retreat. They don’t have a set programme, coaching, or guidance. You basically just get the accommodation and a yoga pass and have to figure out everything yourself. This can be really frustrating for beginners.

Also, the place is way busier than I expected based on the descriptions and website. This is mostly because of the (pretty good) restaurant and walking paths to the yoga classes. The lack of structure combined with the busyness makes it feel more like a regular stay than a retreat.

But, it’s a nice (budget-friendly) place to stay and do some yoga. The lessons are generally good, though the quality can vary depending on the teacher. The accommodation is nice, the pool is great, and the location near the beach is awesome.

I want to see more plug sockets in the rooms and aircon units. The yoga here is fantastic and the whole package is a great value. The massages were a nice surprise and just as amazing.
When I arrived after a 20-hour journey, I wasn’t sure if I would stay because the room seemed too basic for a Westerner like me. But after a couple of days, this place started to feel like home with its friendly vibe.
If I had to make one suggestion, I would say that the rooms need more plug sockets and aircon because the ceiling fans didn’t do much. However, the shared bathroom facilities were abundant – I never had to wait for a toilet or shower in my 31-day stay.
A lot of people got sick with Bali belly, so I recommend bringing some Imodium just in case. This wasn’t because of anything at the hostel, mostly from food eaten off-site.
I highly recommend the 30-day program. It gives you plenty of time to relax, rethink, and enjoy the yoga.

I lost one flip flop somewhere around here and never did find it, so I had to buy a new pair. The yoga classes, clean food, massages, and just the overall vibe here is so relaxing.

The accommodation was in a separate building, about 700 m 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 incredibly professional, talented, and a joy to practice with. I absolutely loved my stay here.

The fan in my room was weak, so it often got hot without aircon! Maybe someone should check it out.

The staff was extremely friendly and always helpful, which was great.

The location is perfect – you can easily walk to the beach, rice fields, restaurants, and coffee shops.

Returning to Serenity felt like coming home because the staff were like family.

I met other travelers like Mel, Michael, Margaret, and Teri, who made my stay special.

The yoga teachers, Sida, Kartana, Mia, Yogi, Citra, and Daivum, were all fantastic. I loved all my classes.

The massages are a must – so healing!

The owners, a beautiful couple, were very hands-on and passionate.

Serenity is like a fairy tale place with positive messages that make you feel safe, happy, and at peace.

I had a great month here and would definitely come back.

Thank you all at Serenity for filling my heart with joy!

The philosophy of the yoga teachers varied greatly. I felt uncomfortable at times because the focus was always on giving more and being the best at stretching in the class. This really ruined the yoga experience, especially for those who are new to practicing yoga.

There was also a virus going around, with someone different every day needing to be close to a toilet. We suspected it was the food at the restaurant, as no one had such issues before in Bali.

The staff took good care of me – I was brought water and charcoal tablets in the middle of the night and even more the next day. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, making it easy to feel comfortable. They were truly exceptional!

My room, KrisKros, was very spacious and well-equipped with a fridge, mosquito net, fan, air conditioning, etc.

The offer of accommodation and a yoga pass was also incredibly cheap!

There were many class options – I definitely recommend taking the meditation classes, they were really good!

The food at the alkaline restaurant is delicious, the sunset yin classes are rejuvenating, and the overall atmosphere is incredible. The vibe is good and the teachers are friendly. The pool area is a great place to relax and don’t forget to try the Balinese massage.

The instructor encouraged and allowed people to take photos during the aerial class, which I found very off-putting. I think they should have waited until after class.

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. Others at Sanctuary were also sick, probably because people didn’t wipe the mats properly and the cutlery and dishes weren’t properly disinfected.

The staff gave us a charcoal drink that really helped, but since we were in Sanctuary 2, we felt quite cut off. I even sent a message asking if breakfast could be brought to us because we were so unwell, and didn’t get a response for 24 hours. It’s still great value, just be careful not to get sick!

We spent 3 months in Asia without any issues, and it was our last week of traveling that got us. The classes were great, the pool area was lovely, and the breakfast was delicious. Our room had everything we needed, and the free insect repellent was a nice touch. Overall, the staff were wonderful.

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

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly!
The room, although a dorm, was spacious and clean!
The facility is very well-maintained!
The food…mmm, delicious!

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

People didn’t really do a good job trying to stop the spread of bed bugs, but yoga was awesome.

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

I had to move for one night to Kris Kris, the 3rd building, which I didn’t like too much because of the room smelling of toilette. Serenity Yoga and Guesthouse is a warm welcoming place where they serve you with a smile and make you feel at home right away. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay in the main building due to full bookings. I stayed at Serenity 2 and rented a bicycle to ride back and forth. The yoga classes were challenging in the beginning, since I hadn’t practiced for two years, but all the teachers made sure to explain well, offer position options, and challenge you to do better. In a short amount of time, I gained strength, lost weight thanks to the fantastic alkaline restaurant, and found peace in my mind and soul. I left this humble place reluctantly and wished I had booked for 4 weeks instead! 🙂

We include breakfast, have a lovely atmosphere, and our staff is friendly.

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

Unfortunately, trash polluted the beaches in Bali. The entire staff worked proactively and were unbelievably friendly to ensure a perfect stay! I learned so much from the phenomenal yoga instructors. I also made great connections with other guests, as the place has a great vibe that attracts like-minded people. The value is amazing, from food to massage and motorbike rentals. Lastly, I found enough nightlife within a few blocks to balance out my trip.

I loved everything! The staff were incredibly friendly and the atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. Plus, you really get bang for your buck here.

Some members of the staff have reported that the quality of their initial interactions was not high. The gluten-free vegan food is very healthy.

Construction work was taking place in the main building, so I had to switch rooms. Luckily, it was a smooth process and I even got a free massage out of it. It’s great that maintenance work is being done, but it should be communicated before booking so you can choose your room accordingly. The food is delicious and healthy, with reasonable prices. The accommodations exceeded my expectations for the affordable price: spacious, clean, and something for every taste! The staff is extremely friendly and always willing to help. Overall, I think the staff makes this place so lovable in the long run! The yoga offerings are diverse, with a variety of styles and daily changing programs to cater to everyone. I am very happy and satisfied with my choice of yoga retreat. Plus, Canggu is a trendy little surfer town where you can do so much more than just yoga! Fantastic!

It can be tough to relax by the pool with all these flies buzzing around. I wonder if there’s a way to get them to go somewhere else? The yoga classes offer a nice variety, with a good mix of restorative yoga in the evening. The restaurant serves up delicious food with top-notch service and great value.

Serenity is the perfect yoga retreat! It’s small and cozy, and the teachers really focus on the participants in the classes. The courses are very challenging, and all the teachers are from Bali. The pool is amazing, and you can even get massages right at the accommodation! The staff is very friendly.

The atmosphere and the staff were very nice and helpful.

The instructors guided you through the poses in a variety of yoga and meditation classes on offer, making sure there was something for everyone.

I think we should offer more beginner-level yoga options, like adding a beginner aerial class. It would also be nice to have more focused classes, like ones specifically on handstands. Serenity is a clean, safe, and friendly place that is dedicated to living in harmony with nature. The massages there are top-notch, and the beginner yoga classes were fantastic.

It’s a lovely and simple place with great vibes and super nice staff. I decided to leave earlier to go to Ubud with a friend and they refunded me, no questions asked. They really strive to make you happy and you feel embraced and well taken care of. The vegan food is amazing, the yoga teachers are top-notch, and everything is clean and high-quality. I would definitely recommend this place!

It was hard to communicate with some staff at the reception. They didn’t include breakfast as advertised. The yoga classes were amazing! They had a big schedule and offered various yoga options every day. It was really convenient to have the alkaline restaurant right at the front.

The restaurant Alcaline is quite expensive. The room in Serenity 2 is very loud (cocks and dogs all night). The yoga classes are taught by very knowledgeable and kind teachers, providing a calm and serene atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

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

During the night, a rat showed up in my room. The classes here are awesome with a variety of yoga and meditation options. I find the ecofriendly concept of this place really intriguing. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly, though some of them seem a bit confused.

The reception staff didn’t speak English very well, making communication difficult. Despite being friendly, they had trouble finding me in their system four times, even though I had already paid for my yoga classes. It seemed like they were trying to make extra money. I had to constantly show my receipt and argue with them before I could finally book my yoga class. The first time, they tried to charge me 110k when I had actually booked 3 classes online for 90k each. They claimed it was “high season” and demanded more money, causing a lot of frustration. Their constant insistence that I hadn’t paid before each class ruined my experience. On the bright side, the location and atmosphere around the accommodation were peaceful and calming.

I had trouble communicating my concerns due to a language barrier. I 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 since I was going to the Gilli Islands the next morning. They said they would deduct the cost of replacing the key from my deposit. I found my key stuck in the lining of my backpack, but the next day the driver from Eco didn’t show up, so I had to walk to the main building to make sure I didn’t miss my shuttle to the boat. It wasn’t safe to walk alone in the morning. The shuttle driver wasn’t happy when we had to turn back for my luggage. Despite finding my key, I was only refunded the deposit minus the key replacement cost as instructed. I couldn’t discuss the issue further with the staff at Eco, even though they tried to contact management without success. It was very frustrating.
To top it off, there was a noisy rooster that kept me up all night, right outside my window. I couldn’t sleep a wink. On the bright side, the location near the beach was great. Most of the staff were helpful, but there needs to be better protocols in place to handle situations like mine.

– Stray and sometimes aggressive dogs roamed the area
– The food at the restaurant was too expensive for the quality
– Some of the employees do not speak English very well, but colleagues were able to help remedy the situation
– The staff was very friendly and helpful (although there was sometimes a bit of a frenzy behind the counter, with 5-8 employees, 2-3 of whom were actually doing something)
– They offer a variety of yoga styles
– The cleanliness was excellent
– There were plenty of seating options

As soon as I arrived for my two-week stay, I realized it was a mistake. This place, which I had booked for its tranquility, was actually extremely busy with constant building works causing a lot of noise. I decided to cancel my reservation and leave because it was not what I was looking for. Despite the situation, I have to say the staff were great.

I want storage with a locker to leave my bag after checkout, even if it’s not free. Privacy wasn’t great because you could hear guests in other rooms. The food at the restaurant has room for improvement. The energy of the place is lively.

The shower provides a variety of classes and food and drinks.

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

My room was nice, but the maid did not clean the bathroom very well, especially the toilet. The yoga classes were fantastic.

We originally booked the Moon room, but we asked for a different room because it had a damp problem and stank. We found the room unacceptable, especially since my sister has asthma. After a little discussion, they arranged for us to switch rooms and everything else about our stay was great. The selection of classes was amazing and the instructors were inspiring and excellent.

They are expanding and have building work going on from 8am. It disrupts the beautiful tranquillity of the place. I hope the expansion doesn’t ruin the charm. It feels very inclusive, the staff is all very friendly, you don’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 food at the Alkaline cafe is healthy and delicious. I wish they sold a recipe book to take home to continue the goodness.
