Desa Eko

We stayed at Desa Eko for 2 nights. The Studio was amazing and perfect for us. Everything was clean. Welcome drink was served upon our arrival. I celebrated my birthday while there and had a special attention (bday cake, flowers on bed) which was really a kind gesture. We also had breakfast and dinner at their restaurant The Botanist... the meals were excellent. We also had the waterfalls trekk with Edy, our guide. And we also did a balinese cooking class at Ely and Rico. Their hospitality was exceptional... we felt at home. Thanks to all the Desa Eko team. It was a short stay but will definitely recommend the place.

Not worth the money. The views are amazing and the surrounding area is beautiful to explore but this place is not worth they money. And I'm not sure why there are so many reviews raving about the food - for me the food was really disappointing and very bland (even the Indonesian classics had no flavour) this was really disappointing when this is the kind of place where it's better/ easier to eat at the hotel! The tent itself was old and worn - the mosquito net part of my tent was so worn out that it ripped so I had to sleep with the mosquitos and other bugs coming in for two nights. On the positive, the bed was comfortable and the shared toilets were clean and the Wifi was good in the restaurant and in the tent. I was also disappointed that there was no seating area outside of my tent - it would be nice to sit outside in the evening under the stars but there was zero space and not furniture to do so which was a real shame. The yoga deck is unmaintained and you have to ask for a broom to sweep it before you can even do yoga yourself there. That's too bad because without yoga and without some orientation to the place, it just seems kind of odd to stay there. They do not have any unique activities on site- There's no community vibe or encouragement to interact with others no yoga class or trivia or cooking not even an evening fire - nothing. For me to want to pay more to stay in a tent this was a little disappointing. To be honest I would NOT recommend to a friend I think I rather would stay in a cabin or nearby hotel which would feel like better value for money.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!! In 20 yrs of traveling in Bali this was most disgraceful experience ever!  We booked the only studio rm (with only private bath) for our anniversary. Paid extra (300) for it. When we arrived they showed us to a child size tent (you cant stand up in these!) on a wood platform. We were told the studio was booked and WE made the mistake even after we showed them what we paid and our booking!  The tents are tiny and windowless. There is no seating or room for it on the platforms so NO WAY TO ENJOY VIEW. You cant leave tent door open for the fresh air or view as you would be eaten alive by bugs. The COMMUNAL bathroom is not close and all the high steps are wet and slippery. No lights so if you want to pee at night your only option is over the rail of your "terrace". What a joke! I don't even want to go into filthy fly infested state of communal pondoks or resturant! We were able to observe all of this on arrival. Shudder too think how bad it really is! We refused to stay and requested refund based on faulse advertising- they refused! They also would not call us a car so we could leave! There is no Uber up there people! They didnt care that we were stranded! We ended up getting rides on motorbikes from kind locals who used to work there. They told us the inside scoop about this place! Dont stay here and support this horribly managed place that mistreats its staff! We went to a top end resort nearby for only 100/night!

Amazing place to stay with amazing view. Food was delicious and super fresh. Seriously cant get over how good the food! There are many stairs to get around and quite high steps, wouldn't suitable for children or eldery. They also have yoga deck besides the river which really nice to practice and stretch a bit in the morning. And 15 mins walk to nearest waterfall.

Great place, with beautiful views and good food. You can take a Balinese cooking class or do yoga on the deck overlooking water flowing to waterfall and you can hike to three beautiful waterfalls nearby.

I had an amazing time at Ekommunity! The cabin was stunning and the nature sounds, along with the nearby waterfall, were so soothing at night. Our suite had a fantastic outdoor bathtub. It's the perfect place to relax and take a break. I'd definitely stay here again and tell my friends about it. The staff was super nice and helpful too!
