I’m so bummed about this accomodation, I really wanted to like it. I love staying in tree house style accomodation wherever possible when I’m in Bali, but this one fell short. The positives: I want to note that staff were lovely - greeted with big smiles and they allowed me to drop my bag prior to check in which I appreciated. Dinner and breakfast at on-site Warung was lovely. The treehouse is aesthetically beautiful from the outside, as are the landscaped tropical grounds which are stunning. The pools were very clean. Location is great, walking distance everywhere. The negatives: Given its nature of being a bamboo treehouse, it’s incredibly loud. But you cannot take one step without a huge creak. After a while it just becomes annoying, particularly when you can hear other creaking bamboo houses just metres from you. It totally saps the relaxation out of the visit. I’m understanding that treehouse accomodation will be more “rustic”, but the bathroom wasn’t acceptable. The shower curtain was filthy and covered in mould. Mould creeps up the walls. The rainfall shower head has calcification and the water sprays everywhere. Everything needed a thorough clean. I was in room Petung 111 which was right next to the pool. Avoid at all costs - there is a huge spotlight on the pool which lights up your entire room like a football field and never turns off at night. In the photos uploaded there is a photo of my room curtains - this was how bright my room was while I was trying to sleep! In terms of noise, you can hear everyone around you. I stayed as a solo traveller and while safety was of no concern, I did feel uncomfortable - hearing people so close to your house that it sounds like they’re in the same treehouse as you feels unnerving at times and I just couldn’t relax. The outdoor chairs on the balcony need to be treated/cleaned more thoroughly, the backs of my knees and legs became covered in cane mite bites and I had to go to the chemist for treatment. Put a towel or sarong down on the chair and table on the balcony before you use it. Wifi is patchy at best. It wasn’t all bad, but for me the negatives definately outweighed the positives. You can get the treehouse vibe in similarly priced venues around the area with a lot more privacy and comfort. If you’re going to stay here, try the villas instead and that way you can get the best of both worlds.
