I'll address a 1/5 review posted a couple weeks ago below, but I would say this is the best value for money in Canggu. I originally booked for a couple days and ended up staying 2.5 weeks and this would be the first place I'd stay whenever I'm back. It's about a 10 minute scooter ride from the centre of Canggu and it's dead quiet at night. I think it's the perfect location if you want to be a bit away from the crowds and either drive a scooter or take Go-jek / Grab to get to the centre or the beach. You can rent a scooter from them as well.
The rooms seem brand new and were always super clean. The pool is big, and clean. The food in the restaurant was great. Most of all, the staff was fantastic. The front-desk staff, the cleaners, the owner, everyone.
This is actually the first review I've posted and it's because I especially wanted to address a 1/5 review posted 2 weeks ago because I was there sitting in the restaurant when this interaction happened and what she writes is from my point of view the opposite of what happened. This person started yelling at the girls that were on shift. She was completely irate, screaming about her hair and her room, yelling at the staff to pay her 2 million rupiah because the pool discoloured her hair. The pool is clean. It's not overly chlorinated. Myself and everyone else was swimming in it daily and no one had any issues. I'm sure there's no issues like this posted in other reviews. She was also yelling at them about her room. She booked the budget room for next-to-nothing on the other side of the resort. I personally never saw those rooms, but what do you expect when you book something ultra cheap? The whole time she was yelling at the staff, they were super calm, just trying to calm her down and resolve the situation but she was just getting more and more irate. It took the owner of the resort showing up and him and basically the entire staff to finally get her to calm down.
The way this person depicts the staff is just the opposite of how they really are. I saw the owner almost daily and he was so kind. The front desk staff were so friendly and helpful, as was everyone else that works there. If you want a quiet, relaxing place to stay for a really good price a bit away from the centre of Canggu, this is it.
