The no door no window concept is definitely an experience. Be prepared for bugs, sounds and stairs climbing, in exchange for a peaceful mind being part of the nature. It’s not for luxury. It’s an experience.

Interesting concept. Amazing views. Lovely friendly staff and team. Let down by Banyan Tree style of overcharging for everything from add-on food and the excursions/activities. Not much to do unless you pay more, and nightly price is already expensive for Bali. For a new resort also feels like maintenance has been put to one side, maybe during covid. Feels much older than it is.

The environment is so beautiful, people who like it will probably love it! It is definitely a unique experience~ Really secluded, isolated from the world, feeling in sync with nature. I was worried that I would not sleep well, but except for being woken up by the chirping of birds on the first morning, I was very comfortable living in the next two days~ But it is not recommended for those who sleep very lightly. The food in the restaurant is very delicious, organic and healthy~

It is really wild, with no doors or windows, caterpillars crawling on the vines around the room, lizards, butterflies and dragonflies passing through the room, and birds chirping in the early morning. Anyway, it is very integrated into nature. However, if you are afraid of insects, you should choose carefully, after all, when they are frightened, they will really get angry and affect their mood. The service is first-class, the SPA experience is also very good, and the dining is also very natural and healthy

It is very inconvenient to modify the order. The customer service of Banyan Tree Group has a bad attitude. They called me aggressively. The choice of overseas hotels needs to be considered carefully.

Super good hotel. The most special hotel I have ever stayed in. Just as I expected. No windows, no doors. Physical cooling. Super beautiful curtains. Being in the forest is like a fairyland. Highly recommended. Most super five-star hotels are basically the same, but this is a hotel I want to experience again.

The location is remote and not close to the city. If you want to have a paradise, it is worth going
I really like the housekeeper who is so nice. The food is delicious. Breakfast and dinner are included. It is not too rich and healthy.

The food is healthy and the presentation is exquisite, but it is really unpalatable, and there is not a single dish that is delicious. You need to go to Ubud every day to find food, but it still does not affect my full score. The resort concept is novel, the environment is secluded, the scenery is excellent, the service is warm, and it is truly an escape. Although there are mosquitoes, they are within an acceptable range. It is a very wonderful experience.

Advantages: The tropical rain forest happens to be on a hillside. The basic room is close to the valley, river and waterfall, so the room will be very humid. Of course, the room becomes more beautiful and expensive as the mountain goes higher! The room is really beautiful inside. The details are also good. The welcome drink chocolates and other chocolates are grown on local hillsides. It’s beautiful! Very beautiful! When I arrived at the hotel for the basic room booked by Ctrip, I found that it was at the bottom of a mountain and I had to walk a lot. The room was very humid and there was no sunlight. We upgraded to a room for around US$200 (after the upgrade, we had sunshine and a mountainside location). The breakfast was relatively ordinary, in the mountains and valleys, with wild herbs, eggs, and thick bread. Not impressed at all, the dinner was pretty good, the dishes were beautifully arranged, and the taste restored the taste of nature.
Disadvantages: 1. I almost died in this hotel! The short sleeves on the table were worn the next morning and a scorpion appeared! It’s a live scorpion🦂! He immediately smashed it to death with a bottle, but luckily he didn't get stabbed! Regarding the response from the Scorpion Hotel, thank me for killing the scorpion, otherwise they would have to find this scorpion again... blabla... it won't be a problem. At least it didn't get stuck, and I can't say anything. Is it due to the good environment and lots of vegetation? ! 2. Catching ants in bed at night🐜. It was also quite a fun experience. 3. The pooping gecko 🦎 fell from the curtain and scared me. The toilet is not fixed well and will shake. On the contrary, mosquitoes and other things are not a problem. When I went to bed at night, I heard the sound of small animals running around on the roof, maybe mice or squirrels. They were running around... It was very funny.
Conclusion: One night is enough to experience it! If you advocate environmental protection, there will definitely be more bugs. The air conditioning is very good and the air conditioning is very sufficient. I slept well and the bedding is also good. Play and get close to nature. The scenery is beautiful, that's all... It's okay to experience it once. It's like who is in the pavilion in the park... Hehe... The rooster crows continuously at 4/5 o'clock in the morning... Wow, so healthy!
