The location might be a little far from other things, but it is great for a getaway trip!

The overall vibe and atmosphere was superb. Lovely and helpful staff, great yoga and massage experience. Can stay here for many days.

You need a bike or a driver for Balian.

Location. Layout. Quiet luxe. Great food! And coffee. And paddle boarding.

Nothing

Definitely one of or maybe even the most wonderful stay for me in Bali. The staff is so friendly, responsive and helpful. The food in the own restaurant is very delicious and it is such a calming and relaxing atmosphere. If you enjoy the quiet and do not need too much action (beach is close good for surfing) it is perfect.

Just look at the photos, the reality is even better. Quiet Place at the river, tasty food, perfect place to unwind. 5min walk to the beach

Not sure about the pool

We had breakfast there overlooking the gardens and the river. Food was very nice and the staff were lovely too.

Nothing, it is faultless

We are so glad we stayed here! Yama is beautifully designed and no small detail is left unthought of. Balian Beach is a 5 minute walk away and the perfect place to watch the sunset, the area has a lovely community feel and is unspoilt. We were excited to wake up here everyday. We will miss our daily morning yoga classes with wonderful yoga instructor Cristina, which was always followed by delicious coffee and breakfast. The food at Yama has been some of the best we’ve had in Bali, we ate here 5 nights out of the 7 that we stayed and when we ate elsewhere it was never quite as good! We also enjoyed using the paddle boards and having massages in the spa space that overlooks the river. All the staff at Yama were so happy and helpful, the WhatsApp messenger they have set-up was really useful to communicate - it made it easy to extend our stay by an extra night as we did not want to leave this little paradise. We hope to come back soon!

Just be aware that this hotel is quite far from the airport. I spent about three hours in a taxi. It's more of a retreat for relaxation, yoga, and meditation, offering peace and tranquility away from the distractions of everyday life ✨

This was hands down the most beautiful hotel I've ever seen. It took my breath away. The garden was very clean; I had no idea a lawn could look so perfect haha :-)) staff was very friendly, this was definitely a 10 out of 10!! 🌱

Location takes a longer time to get to, but all is good once you realise it’s because you’re really retreating from the noisy/ touristy bits of the rest of Bali.

- Location is 2.5 hours from the airport so though it’s far and harder to get to, Balian has so few foreign tourists and feels like old school Bali from 20 years ago. It’s remote, full of virgin jungles and Yama is like an oasis heaven in the midst of it. - Beds are super comfy. - Staff are attentive and lovely. - Restaurant overlooks the river where you can SUP and do daily yoga overlooking this serene scene. - Aesthetically as beautiful as presented in the photos: it’s lush and peaceful.

Stunning find in a small area. Felt very homely and relaxed at Yama. Boutique little villas. Quiet spot away from the hustle of busy areas in Bali but still a great surf location and great black beach.

It’s a little too far from the main attractions of Bali.

The facilities were wonderful and the situation, next to a river, was very peaceful. Breakfast and food of the restaurant in general delicious.
