There is nothing not to like. Everything was totally perfect.

The Dukuh Retreat is tucked away in a quiet hamlet, on the banks of a river, surrounded by rice fields and a few minutes’ drive from a black sand beach. The bungalows are charming, with balconies front and back; very spacious inside; and comfortable, especially the king sized bed. The en-suite bath had good water pressure and the shower was hot 24/7. A/c and wifi worked well. The accommodation is set in delightful gardens, beautifully planted, with soothing water features and a well-maintained pool. Filtered water is freely available, with several water stations around the property. Meals are generously proportioned, and the home cooking is excellent. Wayan and Nyoman, the hosts, welcomed us warmly, as family. The Dukuh calls itself a ‘Retreat’, and it most certainly is. In addition to the B&B, the also offer a range of wellbeing packages that include different activities. We chose a package with a daily massage, yoga and sound healing, and various short excursions. Of these, we selected a Water Purification ritual, which was powerful. After only 3 nights, we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I recommend The Dukuh Retreat highly.

Great hospitality, the host and staff are very friendly and heart-warming. Love the breakfast by the porch & surrounded by a lovely plantation. The bed is very comfortable! When we first arrived at Bali, we had booked a terrible hotel, and the Dukuh nicely helped us change the dates and offered a lot of help.

Wonderful place in a quiet and peaceful place, you will be close to nature, hearing and seeing beautiful birds. The massage was something else as the hut was outside and you could hear the nature sounds while getting a great massage. The food was very yummy. And the hosts were incredibly helpful with everything!

Dear Dukuh Retreat, thank you for letting me stay with you. I would definitely recommend you to people who want to escape everyday life and have a lot of peace. It's located outside and around are local people and their houses and not much tourism. You have to like that. I only stayed for a few days, but took a lot with me, like the yoga classes and Bali massages, which are really recommendable, and a traditional water cleansing. It was amazing to experience. You can also order food and they deliver it to your cute little house. The hosts are really welcoming and helpful. It feels like a little home. Warm regards, Jasmin

If only we could have stayed longer.

The location was ideal for our requirements. The owners Mr Wayon and his lovely wife were incredibly learned in all the aspects that we were interested in, and was only too keen to journey with us in support of our primary reason for visiting Bali. They have made all the preparation requirements for our pilgrimage to the various sites. It was home away from home

Peak hour traffic for day trips into popular tourist areas took a while

Comfortable, quiet rooms outside the hustle bustle of usual Bali spots. Staff were lovely and very accommodating.

This is an eco retreat in a provincial town, whilst they can provide meals and drinks etc. be aware there isn’t much in the near vicinity.

Super friendly staff, greet you with breakfast and a smile every morning. Able to accomodate transport requests and give recommendations. Nice relaxing getaway in the country.

The staff were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was large and very comfortable. We had a secluded balcony at the back overlooking the rice field and a balcony at the front overlooking the stunning gardens. It's a peaceful oasis with a pool, a massage hut, and a yoga studio on site. We loved the tranquillity and being off the main tourist trail.

Everything was as described. The place is a bit distant from the main touristic places in Bali therefore you need to take a car with a driver that they book for you to visit Ubud or other temple sites in the mountains. This always take some time due to the traffic, but you can fully benefit from all the services and authentic traditional atmosphere that you have in this retreat.

The Dukuh Retreat is truly a magical place. We spent there as a couple a week after we arrived by plane to Bali and it was a great decision. It helped us to rest after our journey and learn a lot about Bali from the local people. We couldn't be more grateful for the attention and care of the staff about us. We enjoyed the traditional Balinese dishes, local cultural activities, beautiful garden and rice terrace near the house and above all the relaxing massage. Often we had the swimming pool or yoga classes only for ourselves so we were really given a lot of personal attention.

It was all fabulous— a very secluded restful place for chilling, doing yoga or, if you wanted, book one of their private mini tours.

This was a lovely property so lush and green with adorable Balinese huts. As well the property bordered rice fields so you could sit out on the back patio and have your breakfast in the morning or sit on the front deck and say hello to the passing by neighbours.

I booked a retreat at Dukuh and booked an extra night as I wanted to stay longer. The family who runs the homestay are so welcoming and friendly and ensured I had a wonderful stay. The room is spacious, clean and simple with two big balconies overlooking the gardens and rice fields. The surroundings are so peaceful and there is a nice pool to enjoy and watch the sunset from. You can even take a short walk to the river and I also had a chance to make an offering at the family's temple. There are massages and yoga classes available as well as local activities. The food is homecooked and so delicious - I enjoyed every meal. I had a lovely stay and can't wait to be back :)

Wayan and the rest of the gang were excellent in all areas. Attentive and responsive to our needs and requests. They gave very apt and best advice regarding Bali and what is available and would suit our needs. I intend staying again here during my next visit. The location is beautiful, peaceful and well suited for all the important sights and facilities. Our nights were peaceful and the property is exclusively sited.

There were some loud work activities (building new cottages) at the moment we stayed there, but when we complained about the noise they made sure it stopped!

A very magical place with super friendly and dedicated host & staff 💗 The place felt very spiritual and the garden is absolutely amazing. You can order food and they will bring it to your cottage. The food is really good and I would highly recommend the massage too! You can hear lots of traditional singing and chanting in the morning and evening. We were also there with full moon and you could hear the ceremonial drums were loud but it felt also very powerful! 🙏🏼 Thank You for this great experience.

The place is very quiet, a bit abandoned. If you are looking for some contact, or some activities nearby, there is not much (because there is no village) to do.

The Owners (a couple) are really helping you with what you need and your wellbeing matters to them.
