Serenity Guest Reviews

  • Valerie Herzet, Belgia, 31 July 2023 | (No. Booking 3335042920) Nirvana 2

    • Great place to relax and discover Canggu. The setting, the atmosphere, the yoga classes, the delicious and very varied vegetarian restaurant -The location, near the center and the beach

      • Low Comment on review: Rooms very rudimentary and small -Not always easy to communicate with staff who are willing but not all speak Englis

  • Maria Vittoria Filippi, Italy, 8 July 2023 | (No. Booking 3812211377) OceanBlue

    • I love Serenity! It is a place for total relaxation, reconnection with yourself. The organization of this beautiful space is eco-friendly and mindful of the nature around. The rooms are simple but well equipped. It is perfect for whoever wants to practice yoga during the day. Personnel incredibly nice!

      Low Comment on review: The breakfast is personally not really my taste. Everyday the same gluten-free breads, that are very hard. Offering breakfast by order or adding some more options like yogurt & granola would be nice! Also - expect some small animal friends- you’re in the nature after all!
  • Geoff Hunt , New Zealand, 9 July 2023 | (No. Booking 3937211665) Yin (Dbl)

    • Nice location, the alkaline cafe was really good. Nice deep pool

    • Low Comment on review: I didn’t find the staff particularly helpful or pleasant to interact with on several occasions. A lot of flies around the pool area

  • Hope Lushington, United Kingdom, 31 July 2023 | (No. Booking 2254465897) OceanBlue

    • The property was very quirky with lots of plants and eco friendly branding around the property.

    • Low Comment on review:The pool was closed for a whole morning of our stay. The food and drinks at breakfast were very unique, however at least they were all home made. Our room was in the heavens and had clearly not been finished to an expert level with gaps between joints in the walls and windows that didn’t fit the frames, if there were any frames. The shower was basically on our balcony so you could be seen in the shower if someone tried to look.

    • For a vegan yogi: fantastic! The restaurant serves vegan food and yoga classes are available. My flesh-eating husband also liked the food. There is a nice garden and there are many ways to pay attention to environmentally responsible business. I love the pool. And it's nice that there are massage options at the resort

  • Cyndie Adam, France, 3 June 2023 | (No. Booking 2621838988) BACKPACKER 1 3

    • Coming back here for the 8th time, it says it all I think. And I found it with the last changes and arrangements, with new shala, even better. I love the ambiance as soon as you pass the entrance, it is a relaxed nest, in busy Canggu. All you need is available : quiet rooms, good yoga classes, nice garden and chilling pool, great massages, amazing food, smiling and helpful staff, and so close by the beach.

    • Low Comment on review: If rooms are super clean, I always have the feeling shared showers are so so. Maybe they should clean it few times a day to make sure it is clean for everyone.

  • Natascha de, Germany, 30 May 2023 | (No. Booking 2613324351) YANG ROOM

  • Florentina Czirok, Belgium, 22 May 2023 | (No. Booking 2322180454) Freedom

    • - Their mega healthy restaurant is delicious and for a very attractive price! You can even buy food products. - The massages are divine and not too expensive (ask Ayu (and an other women I don’t have unfortunately the name) - The yoga classes are super professional and not expensive! From 7.30 am, which is practical when you stay at the hotel! - The reception staff are LOVELY!!!! They are available by what's app for any questions. - The beach is a few minutes walk away (sunset included!) - Basically, I went back to this hotel for everything it offers (crazy massages, quality yoga classes, great restaurant and lovely staff) more than for the room, which aren’t crazy.

    • Low Comment on review: - The first time I had the "OM" room and the second time the "freedom". Everything is recycled so don't expect luxury. Everything is made of bamboo so there is no soundproofing! You really have to know it and provide earplugs. - Similarly, in the room there is a plastic box to put your food. I really advise you to use it because my granola was pecked during the night by a little rat!

  • Ines Jasper, Germany, 22 May 2023 | (No. Booking 3230312800) BANYAN

    • The vegan cuisine there is great! Chilled-out area with a nice garden and pool, very young guests, smoke and alcohol Prohibition ????Low Comment on review:

  • Emma Meijburg, Netherland, 21 May 2023 | (No. Booking 3959478118) YD 5

    • The pool was very amazing and relaxing, also the massages were good. I haven’t followed the yoga course, but I overheard some courses (was sleeping next to it) and they sounded good. Also the breakfast was lovely. All and all a good stay. would come here again. And what I liked most of all: they have a little kitten+mommy at the pool. (and doggo’s)

    • Low Comment on review: You have to book massages in advance (one day approximately), wasn’t prepared for that. But they were very relaxed letting you take a massage after check out. There were no closed walls in the room, so you could hear everything on the street and the yoga classes (but that didn’t really bother me though).

  • ANNABELLE WARNIER, France, 20 May 2023 | (No. Booking 3051350932) BACKPACKERS 3

    • A haven of peace: swimming pool, yoga, healthy food, top staff, superb place -Eco values that are felt in every detail

    • Low Comment on review: Only problem: the window of my room overlooked the common areas, no window on the outside

  • Eli Snyder, United States of America, 16 May 2023 | (No. Booking 2226419329) ZEN

    • THIS IS THE MOST DELICIOUS BREAKFAST YOU WILL EVER HAVE INCLUDED IN A STAY! Everything is freshly made and it's a full buffet with several organic options, not your typical toast and coffee haha. The staff are simply lovely here... I miss this place dearly!!!

    • Serenity is a paradise for Yogis!!! I loved the classes, the teachers are great! I love the place, it’s so beautiful and the locations is perfect! Such a shame that is was fully booked, otherwise I would have stayed there for weeks! I stayed in the single room and moved to the dorm, both of them were great!

"It's interesting how this place (which I don't remember how I found it) was strongly "calling me" as I was not sure yet where to stay so many nights (actually 9 nights). It's also interesting how in these many nights I found what exactly I wanted and everything I would ever need for my wellbeing and total wellness. Also the type of people/clients so similar to me that populate this place. Delicious food, very good people/clients, very good service done by hard-working people, very good massages, I didn't yoga but all people with which I talked about, they said this is the best place to do yoga. This place would be my pinned/must stay place for my next trips to Bali. Thank you for the wonderful -done with heart - service and hard work! Especially get every day a fantastic breakfast on time! Thank you very much for your welcome."

"I can highly recommend this place if you are honestly interested in Yoga and meditation! The teachers are great and Serenity offers a wide variety of different Yoga styles all day long. Depending on your needs and preferences, you will find a class that suits you! The prices are really fair, both for the yoga classes, accommodation, and food. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and mainly vegan. Bring your own water bottle and refill it for free! A big thank you to the very friendly staff who made me feel at home after only a few days! They are amazing and always helpful. Whatever you need, you will be helped to it! I had the best time, met lots of people, and find the right environment to relax and calm down from a stressful work environment."

"Hi Dl! I already left Bali and hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye to you! I think you were on the road on a retreat. I didn’t get to share much time with you two lovely couple, but enough to feel your amazing good energy! You probably get this a lot from everyone, but each content person is a world and even helping one soul is huge, imagine making a lot of them happy? And this is what you guys do! You are an example of work and love, being married for so long and sharing your magic creating such a beautiful place for all of us!I can’t THANK YOU enough! And I know my friends feel the same, and everyone I’ve sent to Serenity too! I appreciate the little details, like your wife collecting and filling the place with flowers religiously every morning, the smile and caring from all the ppl who work there, from Yangxia, alit, to willy and the guys from the shuttle, and the restaurant, and massage area, the teachers! Puspa, Mano, yogi! Etc! What a big family you are! And seeing you teaching them how to fix bikes while having fun, and gathering together to sing songs in Balinese! Just shows me how close u all are. I wanted to send you my love, recognize all your hard work, and say Thank you! I will be back “home” next year for sure! And I’ll be more prepared as well!"

"We stayed for several days at Serenity and even prolonged our stay. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, the staff was always super nice and tried to help wherever they could. The area is very green, the rooms are clustered in a kind of organic way. The rooms are clean, have a small safe and a mosquito net. Serenity is located at walking distance from the sea and on a less busy street so it is quite quiet."

- Philipp A, august 2017 -



"This was my first hostel experience and I was surprised at how peaceful, respectful, and accommodating everyone there was. It is the perfect retreat at a very reasonable price. I even lost my glasses and the reception got in touch with me via Whatsapp to tell me they had found them. Thank you for a beautiful stay."
