Utter heaven….so peaceful and so beautifully thought out in terms of rooms, gardens, pool, restaurant. Loved the tiny daily menu…food was divine.
Nothing!!!!
El lloc és idílic, un paradís en tots els sentits. Ideal per desconnectar i estar lluny del bullici de les zones més turístiques. Una preciosa platja per passejar i gaudir de la posta de sol, una piscina ideal, el coco fresc de benvinguda s'agraeix molt, les casetes no poden estar millor equipades, es nota que han pensat en tots els detalls. 😍
Simple accommodations but comfortable and well equipped. It is a fantastic place, at “the end of the world” in front of a beautiful, 10km long and clean brown sand beach. Very good for relaxing withdrawn from the world… Good massagist on-site. Good food, nice pool.
The food is home made and very tasty. We would have just liked a bit more variety. The 3 days we were there it was the same 4 options with a few variations possible though. Not a very big deal. The room service was not made either, but again, considering the simple the room is and the bathroom, not a big deal!
Alles 👍😍
Ich finde, dass die Preise für die Rückfahrt-Taxis im Hotel deutlich überteuert sind. Ich empfehle, sich lieber selbst einen privaten Fahrer zu organisieren. Das hat bei mir leider einen unangenehmen Eindruck hinterlassen.
Mooie cabins op een rustige en prachtige locatie. We komen graag weer terug!
The area and accommodation was nice and the two girls working there were very kind, but unfortunately the billing practices ruined the experience.
This was the first time I ever felt kind of scammed by a hotel. They added an extra 11% tax + 5% service fee for bike rental and transport, even though these weren’t their services, they were actually external services with prices that already included tax. The driver himself confirmed the transport to Sanur was 700k IDR net, yet the hotel still charged another 16% on top. They also apply a 5% “service” fee to almost everything, which was never clearly explained although we asked multiple times. We almost extended our stay, but luckily we didn’t. We overheard the manager on loudspeaker telling the staff to ask us to book directly instead of through Booking.com. Looking back, I’m glad we didn’t — otherwise they probably would have added another 16% on top of the room price as well.
Rustige omgeving met ongelooflijk vriendelijk personeel waardoor je je onmiddellijk thuis voelt. Zeer dicht bij het prachtige strand
Niets
Die Desa Cabins sind ein wunderschöner und ruhiger Urlaubsort mit einem tollen Pool, an dem man super abschalten kann. Die Cabins sind gemütlich und sauber und haben ein richtig cooles Außenbad. Der Strand ist auch direkt bei der Unterkunft und war sehr sauber und menschenleer. Das Essen war super lecker und authentisch und die Angestellten waren jederzeit für uns da und sind sehr freundlich. Wer nochmal andere Strände oder Restaurants sehen möchte, kann sich jederzeit einen Scooter leihen. Es war eine sehr persönliche Erfahrung und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Good location, Amazon view. Comfy bed. Fantastic food and staff!
Portions where a bit small and no desert options.
Massage, Anlage, Besitzerin sehr nett
Hunde manchmal viel am betteln während Essen, Essen einfach und keine Auswahl aber lecker
The location is fantastic. The sea, the beach, the pool, the energy around and created by the team here is magical. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so full of ease and love and for taking such care to accommodate our dietary needs- we will be back x
Die Ruhe wie der super service des Personals. Es ist alles so schön gemacht.
Nice place in nice area front beach, which is a perfect place for a walk, it is not a crowded or organized beach. Nice swimming-pool with view on rice fields.
Room, even if very nce, needs little fixing. Limited options for dinned, even if it is understandable since the place is a little on the side, not in the middle of city.
Unberührtheit der Natur, Kühe , Reisfelder, leerer Strand,
Nichts!!!
Die Desa Cabins haben eine Traumlage in toller Natur mit unmittelbarer Strandnähe (500m zu Fuß durch Felder). Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool ist wirklich ein Highlight. Man sollte beachten, dass Grab/Gojek an dem Ort nicht funktioniert. Die Unterkunft bietet Transporte zum nächsten Ort an, alternativ sind es 30 min zu Fuß.
Der Service ist ausbaufähig. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste und dennoch wurde uns wiederholt Fleisch und Shrimps serviert obwohl wir bei Anreise mitteilten, dass wir dies wegen Vegetarischer Ernährung, bzw. Allergie nicht essen. Geschmacklich war das Essen okay. Da man abends nicht aus der Anlage wegkommt ohne Roller/Auto hat man leider keine Alternativen. Dies ist etwas schade.
Beautiful and remote - we enjoyed our stay very much. Far away from crowdy beaches or the city.
Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wunderbare Lage mitten in den Reisfelder, ein paar Schritte vom Meer entfernt. Das Essen wird immer frisch zubereitet und schmeckt hervorragend.
Die Zimmer könnten etwas größer sein und mehr Ablage für das Gepäck haben.
La chambre spacieuse, la vue depuis la chambre Très bel environnement
Restauration très limité, pas de prix affiché, menu unique, très loin de tout sauf de la route bruyante
Beautiful and peaceful place. The food is delicious and homemade, and the staff are absolutely charming. The manager goes above and beyond to accommodate everything for your convenience – even making an exception for a late check-out. Drinks are available, and the welcome coconut is a lovely plus. The pool is wonderful and relaxing, with stunning views of palm trees, rice fields and the sea.
Unique accommodation, felt like you were staying out in nature but with the comfort of a resort. 5 min walk to the beach (can’t swim there though) and surrounded by rice fields. The Junglo restaurant on-site served delicious meals - menu changed daily and you need to pre-order for that day but this is easily done with a text to Oma. Staff were friendly and attentive but mostly left you to your own devices and if you needed anything you could send Oma a text to ask. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay.
The area is pretty secluded so it’s difficult to get around anywhere outside the accommodation, would need to hire a scooter or local taxi - the staff can help with this.
Sehr ruhiger, abgeschiedener Ort, aber gerade deshalb empfehlenswert, wenn jemand genau das sucht - Bodenständiger Luxus ohne Trubel. - Schöne Aussicht und tolle Reisfelder direkt am Standort und Umgebung. - Kabinen sehr sauber und gepflegt. - Das Essen (Frühstuck, Mittag und Abendessen) wird frisch für dich persönlich gekocht, und war jedes Mal wirklich ausgezeichnet, geschmacklich einfach so gut.
Лучшее место, если хочется отдохнуть от людей. Огромный, безлюдный, чистый пляж в минуте ходьбы от отеля. Он идеально подходит для долгих прогулок. Во время моего приезда был шторм, поэтому важно выбирать правильное время для поездки. Нет тусовок, нет музыки. Все работники очень дружелюбные. Кухня, в прямом смысле, домашняя и вкусная. Комаров, тараканов, мошек тут нет. Территория чистая и красивая. Отдельная благодарность отелю: по моей просьбе мне выделили одного из выбранных мною сотрудников для путешествия по Бали на мотобайке в течение нескольких дней. Это было шикарное путешествие по достопримечательностям Бали с Индрой — он всегда вежливый, веселый и довольный жизнью. Так что я рекомендую и Индру, и отель! 😁😁
Πραγματικά ένας παράδεισος στην γη.. Ολα ήταν απλώς υπέροχα!!!Η Ντιανα και οι συνεργάτες της δεν αφήνουν τίποτε στην τύχη και απο την αρχή σε κάνουν να νιώθεις μερος της παρέας τους...το σημαντικότερο όλων ειναι ότι καταφέρνει με ένα φυσικό τρόπο να συνδυάζει την διαμονή στην φύση με την πολυτέλεια ενός άριστα διακοσμημενου καταλύματος. Σας ευχαριστούμε πολύ. Θα ξαναρθουμε!!!
Vue imprenable, levé de soleil sur les rizières derrière les cabanes, couché de soleil incroyable sur la mer. La plage est accessible en 4min même pas à pied, elle est déserte, une vraie impression de bout du monde. Le personnel est super sympa, cuisine super bien, bref tout est super propre. Je recommande vivement. C'est paisible et calme. L'emplacement est top, c'est juste loin en voiture si on vient de l'aéroport ou d'ubud ou d'ailleurs.
L’ambiance, une tranquillité, 3 jours de sérénité ! Merveilleux et le personnel au petit soin pour nous !

Beautiful a frame apartments with open air bathrooms and small Kitchenette. Large water fountain was wonderful as we drink maids of water, tea and coffee supplied. I had a cold when we arrived and staff were wondering running to town for lozenges etc. Lunch and dinner were set menus and of a good size for us. The setting in the rice paddies was quiet and very picturesque we enjoyed wandering and taking photos. The pool was lovely albeit a little cold at this time of year.
After moving on we realised we were a little isolated from town but that can also be a good thing..
The property was set in an idyllic field with palm trees and ocean views. It felt like a private, magic oasis. The rooms were well designed and comfortable and stocked with delicious drinks, snacks and water. The outdoor bathroom and shower was a fun novelty. The communal areas (pool, restaurant and spa) were clean and spacious allowing enough space for all guests. The food was delicious - some of the best meals I had on my whole trip to Bali! Home cooked, authentic and flavorsome. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel right at home.
Due to the private and quiet location there are not many food options near by unless you have access to a bike or car.
We loved our stay at DesaCabins, everyone was very welcoming and the food was excellent. If you are looking for some quiet relaxing days this is a good spot for you. Hope to come back one day :)
Surrounded by rice paddies, looking through a coconut grove at the crushing waves at the beach while sitting on the veranda of our cosy A-frame cabin we felt like minor gods on the island of gods. The endless beach empty, our stomachs full with the simple but delicious dinner, listening to the birds, the frogs and the cicadas we feared the day we had to leave. Every single person on the staff was friendly, helpful and competent. Much of this - including many design choices - Desa Cabins owes to Diana, the woman who runs the place. Thank you Diana, Nanda, Bungi, ... and all the others who's names I shouldn't have forgotten.
We should have spent the Silent Day (Nyepi) at Desa Cabins too. Our bad.
Once we arrived and checked in, the grounds and sprawling cabin layout were the perfect antidote to the bumpy ride on the road in. Cute but small cabins, only 6 in total and a small but homely kitchen where they cook different menu's depending on the day. A highlight for us was the generously sized infinity pool, and plenty of sun loungers. This overlooks an expansive rice paddy run by locals and presents a peaceful beachfront rice farm with cows and ducks plenty nearby. Dog lovers may find this stay more enjoyable.
Probably avoid getting a massage till they've built the spa room. We were treated to a massage in a spare cabin but not something I would recommend for a relaxed therapy. The therapists tried their best. There's not much of a road leading in, not that the owners wear the blame for infrastructure but something to note. Bigger cars may fare better...ours was a tiny one.
the tranquility, the surrounding, the pool, the food.
nothing
secluded location and the beauty surrounds and so peaceful
Nothing else around so would only be suitable for complete relaxation and not wanting to do anything but relax beside the pool. There are limited dining options, no menu in restaurant and nothing near by for food and dining so this is very limited.
Diana and her team really made a great stay fantastic! What can I say - the food was delicious, great pool overlooking the rice fields and ocean beyond, and of course my cabin with its amazing outdoor bathroom with views across the rice fields to the hills beyond. For me it was the perfect chillout break. Thank you!
We stayed at Desa Cabin for 3 nights, and it was our absolute favorite place to stay during our trip to Bali. While we visited Ubud, Canggu, and Uluwatu, this peaceful and quiet retreat stood out as the perfect escape from the crowds. Oma, the manager, made sure we felt comfortable and at home throughout our stay, and all the staff were incredibly friendly and kind. The food was amazing, the pool was stunning, and everything about the cabin was designed for tranquility. Our cabin room was perfect, and we loved the walk to the beach through the rice fields. A special highlight was the friendly and well-behaved dogs on the property, which added to the charm. Thank you, Oma, and all the staff for making our stay so memorable. Desa Cabin was the perfect end to our Bali adventure before heading back to the United States. We’ll always cherish our time here and can’t wait to return!
We love everything.
Quiet, beautiful location only a five minute walk from the beach, fabulous staff, beautiful pool, fantastic, home cooked food 🙂
Everything 🙂
absolutely everything! this is the best place in Bali! it is away from al the crowds and buys areas very intimate and it allows you to relax and enjoy the real Bali vibe. The stuff is extremely friendly and Diana who is the manager is more like your friend making you feel very welcomed. We could not be happier with the choice of accommodation for our second week in Bali. We read some previous reviews from other guest that the place is too far and not much around but who cares- if you need a place where you are surrounded by nature, close to the beautiful beach and you can relax and enjoy peace and quiet this is the best place you can find. Food in their restaurant is absolutely delicious and it was so nice of them that they catered specially the menus for us as vegans :) the best holiday destination!
there is nothing to not like this place is magic!
Very beautiful surroundings and nice pool. Food was really good. Nice dogs. Possible to rent scooter.
Because the cabins are made of wood, there is no noice isolation. You hear a lot of noises outside, nature noises but also the busy road behind the cabins. There is not much to do in the area. Breakfast options are very limited. Staff is really nice, but communication is difficult because of the language barrier. Management of the staff was not always professional.
Desa Cabins has great rooms equipped with pretty much everything you need including a very handy water dispenser, the Indonesian food cooked in the hotel kitchen was delicious and fresh, the views of the mountain and fields are fantastic, and the place has one of the best swimming pools in Bali. I really enjoyed the relaxing vibe around the resort and the neat garden and surroundings. The staff and management were also very friendly, helpful and accommodating.
Nothing.
just perfect, next time I wanna stay definitely longer…
Beautiful quiet location, boutique accommodation, friendly staff
Miscommunication on a number of occasions. Dinner time, menu and price were not clearly communicated and there was no room cleaning for the duration of a 3 night stay. The welcome coconuts were gathering fruit flies on the day we departed…
Liked the privacy of the place, proximity to untouched nature, friendly and care of staff
From the advantages there is one feature that you need to have in mind. The nearest popular places are about an hour by car. We took the car for rent and it was not a problem for us
Beautiful place! Nothing to complain about.
Nothing
Since the moment I landed the owner of Desa Cabins treated me with so much care! My flight was delayed and they stay up late to welcome me with dinner :) Additionally, the place is a dream, the food is delicious and the hospitality can't be any better!
We loved everything about the property - the cosiness, the staff, the facilities and the dogs! It is a nice calm place to relax after spending some time in the larger cities.
It’s modern with the Bali touch. Super quiet
Everything was above my expectations
We had such a relaxing stay at Desa Cabins, the perfect getaway away from the crowds. Diana and her team were amazing hosts.
Nothing
Friendly staff, nice pool, super beautiful area of the hotel between ricefields and the ocean, delicious food, cute dogs!
Very idyllic position. Surrounded by rice terraces with little to no other buildings nearby. Well landscaped with lush planting. Massive empty beach on your doorstep. Lovely restaurant with simple food. Friendly staff. Great pool and outdoor shower.
Not that I didn't like...more of what to expect... but the A-frame units do make it more like glamping.
Lovely rice farm view and beach view from the pool and the cabins, staff are extremely helpful and welcoming, I felt at home. The highlight for us were the dogs ❤️
Between ocean, coconut trees and rice fields … speechless. Everything was perfect. Room with outdoor bath room is clean and view is amazing. Staff is so kind.
Location is exceptional. Views amazing.
The garden and cabins are beautiful, the pool has a stunning view of the ocean and a rice field. Very intimate little boutique resort (only 6 cabins) in the middle of nowhere. Diana is an incredible host. We especially enjoyed the homecooked dinners - the food was the best we’ve had in Bali! They have every little detail covered, they provide you with Sarongs, mosquito repellent, sun hats, beers by the pool, and anything else you need.
The road to get there is quite bumpy and tough to go by car or scooter. But amazing view of the rice fields.
Loved the location, attention to detail, spaciousness
Nothing
Had the most enjoyable time at Desa Cabins. If you're looking for a peaceful, private and quiet place in nature and away from the crowds, look no further. The location is beautiful and serene, with nothing but ricefields and palmtrees around. The six triangle shaped cabins are very clean, spacious, and designed very thoughtfully with an amazing outdoor bathroom at the backside. In the common pool area you can relax in the comfy sunbeds and gaze at the open space greenery with a direct view of the ocean and stunning sunsets. A wild black sand beach with hardly anyone around is a 2 minutes walk away. The host Oma and her team are lovely people who took great care of us during our stay, cooked us tasty local food and organized everything we needed. With a scooter or car you can easily reach closeby surfing spots (Balian, Medewi) or explore the natural surroundings (mountains, waterfalls, etc). We initially planned to stay for 5 nights end ended up staying almost 2 weeks because we enjoyed it so much. Really can recommend this place. Will be back!!
Great place for a calm get away; in the rice fields, nice AC'ed cabins, with a lovely infinity pool and close to a super calm beach for a stroll or a swim. Good internet and great staff!
'Included' Breakfast is very limited. We didn't have a scooter, so for us it was a bit far away from stores/cafes/restaurants. Recommend to take some snacks/drinks for during your stay!
Love the fact we could bring our dog with us, she adored being there. Gorgeous setting surrounded by nature, palm trees, and waking up to the view and sound of the ocean.
