artistic oasis”

Amazed by all the mosaic tiles everywhere. 15 minute walk to beach. Massage service on site. Fantastic breakfast. Service was really good. Will come back definitely

Fine, nice staff.”

Fine.

awful hotel”

Hotel is located far from beach on the road. To get beach you need to go through village where a lot of gods try to eat you. Hotel room is mostly open - open roof and one wall. So it's very colse to nature. The are a lot of animals in the room - mosquitoes, big ants and geckos. Breakfast provided by the hotel consists of 1 plain toast and tea. During our stay we were the only guests and it was scared to stay alone in this big hotel at night.

Beautiful but we felt abandoned”

If we were to use one word to describe our stay at Shankari's Bali Retreat, it would be "desolate". Which wasn't all bad, we were the only guests at the hotel so we had all 3 pools to ourselves and all the gazebos and it was very quiet and peaceful. However, when we arrived to the retreat we inquired about yoga in the morning as we wanted to take a class, we were then told that they did not offer any yoga. I work in the hotel industry and am always taught that when you offer something on your website and on your reception board that says" daily yoga at 8 am" you should probably offer it, especially since they advocate themselves as a "yoga retreat", and this was one of the reasons we chose the place. Secondly, we kind of felt abandoned and ignored the entire time we were there. They seemed to be running on a skeleton crew due to their low occupancy, which I can understand but atleast make an effort. At some points we would sit at the restaurant for 10 minutes waiting for someone to come along and serve us, and when no one showed we walked down to the beach and ate another restaurant, which may have been a blessing in disguise as we found better food elsewhere. It wasn't all bad, one lady did arrange transport for us and she arranged massages too, and we found the place beautiful and loved our terrace area and balcony with day beds, however we couldn't get over the staff issue and that's why we couldn't give the place a rave review.

A true retreat”

Great to be able to escape the intensity of Seminyak to enjoy the peace and tranquility of Shankaris. The morning yoga with Nicky was excellent and I thank him for his expert guidance and tuition. I learned quiet a lot. The ambience was quiet special, the staff wonderful and generally my stay was a true retreat.

good”

the hotel is nice, has 3 beautiful pools, rooms are nice but there are a lot of insects so bring repellent.the hotel is located close to balian beach which is good for surfing, but it is not walking distance so you have to rent a scooter. you can take yoga classes at the hotel for 10aud.Overall, nice hotel but there is not much to do in Balian except surfing.

relaxing”

enjoyed my stay. staff were friendly and helpful. the hotel was old but full of character and surrounded by rainforest. yoga classes in the morning highly recommended and restaurant has a very good selection of vegetarian dishes. location on the main highway makes it easy to find but it is a 15min walk to the beach. prices are much higher that the other hotels in the area.

Very relaxed stay in this beautiful green retreat”

You will be totally relaxed after your stay here, the true Bali experience!

Great value for money, nice tranguil gardens”

Great stay, lovely staff, great massage close to balian beach

Yoga retreat with a surf beach”

It was an amazing stay very refreshing following the hustle and bustle of the more busier parts of Bali. Daily yoga and daily surfing followed by street food at the market.

Tropical adventure, good service!”

We had a comfortable stay. The rooms were well designed, and the hotel was atop a hill, with views of ocean. Restaurant service was very good and rooms were clean

Environment very nice & comfortable.”

Staff service nice, environment very nice relax & health.

Nice place for relax”

Nice service of staff, a nice environment for relax & health place.

Hôtel proposant des cours de yoga tous les matins ”

Hôtel un peu sombre et loin de la plage mais les bungalows au bord de la petite piscine sont interessants

Hôtel bruyant et dangereux”

Hotel qui se compose de petits bungalows vieillissants et dont les installations électriques sont dangereuses. De surcroît les bungalows sont situés en bord de l'axe routier qui mène à Java donc extrêmement passant toute la nuit (essentiellement des camions). Bilan deux heures de sommeil avec une chambre recommandée par le responsable pour son calme. Restauration très moyenne, au petit déjeuner par exemple, le personnel balaie le restaurant alors que vous êtes en train de déjeuner. Peu de point positif, à fuir comme la peste.

idéal pour acces plages et repos”

Malgre une panne informatique de wifi, le personnel et la direction se sont mis en quatre pour nous permettre de se connecter dans la villa du directeur Repas et petit déjeuner copieux et excellent.

Bungalow authentique dans un cadre très apaisant”

Un ensemble de bungalows individuels authentiques qui collent bien au cadre relaxant et apaisant de cet hotel. Possibilité de prendre des cours de Yoga. Le petite route menant à la plage du spot de surf de Balian est authentique et permet de se restaurer à tous les prix. Un accueil très chaleureux. Petit dej copieux. A recommander pour se reposer et profiter des vagues et de la plage pour se promener. Temples et autres sites à moins d'1 heure pour s'évader.

hotel un peu a l abandon”

hotel qui merite d etre renove avec un confort limite

Für wenig Geld bekommt man guten Durchschnitt”

Für wenig Geld bekommt man eine solide Leistung geliefert und die Mitarbeiter sind bemüht. Die Zimmer sind einfach und das Doppelbett wrklich sehr schmal aber sonst ist alles o.k.
