Good: super friendly team, great food in the restaurant, nice garden & pool. Bad: the rooms at their second branch(Kris Kros)! No real value for money. Located on loud road, with a loud bar nearby, worst sleep ever. And that for double the price of such a room. Also, not really bad, but rather amusing: there are just so so many signs all around serenity.
Great get away, hard to beat for the blanac eof price and comfort. The people you will meet here are are genuinely nice, open travellers who appreciate healthier living and environment. This is a no smoking no drinking hostel with a mix of air-conditioning and fan cooled rooms. The pool area is a simple but lovely slice of paradise. If you are sensitive to scents or chemicals this is the place for you, a nice change from the strong scents of many Bali hostels, hotels and home stays. A word to the wise, make sure you are in the main guest house it's much nicer than the second location.
Booked into the Harmony room but had to switch as the noise coming through the floor from the area above was unbearable. Couldn't relax. Second room was smaller but a lot quieter.
Food is good. Breakfast options were all vegan style. Tasty and healthy. The raw food bar is a highlight. Staff all very friendly and helpful.
If you're looking for luxury this is not the place but as a budget option with a focus on yoga and health foods it is good.
What a wonderful find. I had a fantastic driver Putu who set the tone of the rest of my stay. Delicious food.. Smiling service.. Relaxing and comfortable stay. Its so close to the beach and the yoga session I did was very good. Massage is a must!!You cannot go wrong with Serenity.. It's name says it all!
Great place to stay if you're looking for serenity! Nice yoga classes (some are for more experienced yoga students), nice massages and other services, and great vegan food. I did get some bad food though, I had a terrible night, but I guess that's the tropics
The rooms are somewhat basic, no airconditioning, but the staff is amazing. The are friendly, kind, helpful and there to make you have a great time!
Recommended if you're looking for some.peace and quiet, wanna visit the beach, and do some yoga!
The staff at Serenity are excellent - they were so helpful when I lost my credit card at the airport and had no money! They all went out their way to help me, calm me down, drive me to the nearest Western Union etc. The place is great too - quirky little garden with a lovely pool. Perfect location, right next to the beach in Canggu. I recommend staying here if you've just landed and want to go somewhere that's far less hectic than Kuta!
One of the best $ value for yoga classes you can get. Huge roster offering all levels. Facilities are aging but still lovely, yoga eco ish
Amazing place, such a chilled hipster vibe. Lovely environment to chill and do some yoga. I got the 5 class pass and am looking forward to trying new types of classes. The Hatha yoga this morning was a lovely way to start the day and was lead by a good teacher.
Lovely and wholesome just a little bit too 'green' for me. I love balanced food but healthy food can be too healthy. They close a bit early for my taste.
VERY NICE YOGA SPACE! Love it. Local teachers give a vast understanding about yoga. One of my most favorite week in Bali is to spend here at Serenity. I feel home. Thank you ;)
Great fun and loving hostel. 7 day yoga unlimited yoga classes was rejuvenating and relaxing. Cheap walk in classes too! Recommend!
I would not recommend this place for yoga, if you are looking for it in the truest sense of a mind-body connection. If you're looking only for an exercise class, then come here.
I did enjoy the facilities. Great place to just relax!
Harmony. This word would describe it pretty well. Awesome place to relax, to do yoga, to have a wonderful healthy alkaline mealeverything to nourish your brain, body and soul.
We decided to go here for breakfast because it was really near our location. It looked like a nice place which it is but the menu is a bit confused and eventually, if you're not vegan like us, you'll end up ordering the basic sweet or salty breakfast instead of the more complicated dishes they have.
Everything's ok till this point. The 2 stars are for the service.
One day we wanted to prank a friend of us by ordering only a juice for him, asking to bring it before his true meal, they did not stayed our joke, and in the end we had to ask to bring this juice (which we paid for) which arrived 30 minutes after we finished our breakfast.
The second time we asked for a bit of extra nutella in our pancakes but they really did not follow our request. In the end we were unsatisfied and unhappy.
I have extended my stay here multiple times! From 2weeks to 6weeks to 10weeks, the reception and staff have been very accomodating with this.
i stayed in the 'Brawa house' a short ride from serenity in a great area close to local markets and more quiet than booming canngu, great if you want some space to read and cook and chillout away from it all, has an awesome loft to meditate and practice and is very affordable long term. I would and have reccomended staying here. Friends have equally enjoyed the dorms at serenity and its close by complexes.
I have enjoyed the masage and pool and secret balconies.
Great food and coffee and juices.
Super friendly kitchen and resturaunt staff!
I like the green salad for lunch.
I like the snacks and sweets for the good price.
Theres alot of different yoga classes if you are new to it and want to find what suits you, there is commited teachers if you wish to further your practise.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice relaxed environment
I did not sleep so cannot comment on rooms
The food was amazing and the meditation and yoga classes were great
Very relaxing near to the beach
Great place with great yoga and food. Unfortunately they mixed up my bokning so I had to stay at one of their partners. I had to pay a lot extra even though it was their misstanke. First their partner put me in a room with bed bugs but I got a new room after complaining.
“**THEY TOOK PICTURES OF US IN YOGA CLASS WITHOUT CONSENT THEN STAFF TAKES 0 RESPONSIBILITY***”
Dropped into Gentle Vinyasa Yoga class in the morning. As we approach the last 10 minutes of class, a photographer strolls in unannounced and started taking video and pictures of everyone. Keep in mind everyone is in yoga clothes and pictures/videos are being taken of people in compromising positions. This was all done without our knowledge or consent (Nothing started a photo opt on the website or when checking into the front desk). I went downstairs to ask the staff what was going on and everyone in the front desk included the manager pushed the blame on the instructor stating it was her responsibility to let the class know. I Asked to speak with the coordinator or owner, again everyone in the front desk pushed all the blame to the yoga instructor and no one even apologized.
This is utterly unacceptable and I did not provide consent for these pictures to be used. I would like the owners of this establishment to respond as this is unacceptable. Your customers and guest who stay at your retreat have lives back home. Not everyone wants to be photographed in their yoga clothes after a 80 minutes yoga class in compromising positions.
If you are looking for some awesome yoga, this is the place. I tried a lot of places in Bali and those classes are the very best so far! As a beginner, i need guidance and i need a yogi who is able to teach everybody while taking care of each and everyone personally. I didnt feel shy as a beginner since the teacher was very helpful, enthusiastic and efficient in correcting my poses. Thanks to Sida to be this kind of Yogi. Ill return, for sure! 🙏
Serenity was great, very friendly and helpful staff! Only thing I wish we had been able to stay the entire time in the actual guest house. Thanks
Note this rating is based mainly on quality of the yoga classes. Compared to other places in the area, Serenity is quite poor regarding class size. (crowded) and teaching quality. Also, one day the class ended 15 minutes early for no reason Something of a highly commercial yoga factory feel to the place. The one benefit of this is there are lots of choices of classes. Would advise against the coffee here as well, massively over priced and well behind what is on offer in dozens of other places. This place seems to be all about the money
I can really recommend this place, the yoga schedule is great, they have so many classes from the morning till evening every day. The teachers are very good and motivated. I also love the restaurant at the front (Alkaline). You must try the vegetarian lasagne! It is absolutely delicious. I keep coming back to this place. One thing that could be improved: I would like to buy a glass bottle with 1l or 1,5l that I can refill to avoid plastic. But at alkaline there were just 600ml glass bottles. And also the shower in one dorm needs a renovation in my opinion :) but instead of this, the pace is perfect!
Cool Place near the Beach. its very nice if you dont like the 5stars bullsh*t Hotels:) breakfast and meals are good. Staff realy friendly. Supermarket Is the Street nearby. At Night the room neighbours can be Heard so everybody had too be very quiet after 10
Didn't stay here but I really enjoyed all the different yoga experiences on offer! Thank you 😊
The ideas of this place is good and therefore attracted my friend and me: caring for the environment, yoga, giving back to the community etc. We were really disappointed. It was noisy due to construction going on and no one told us before. The rooms, especially the bathrooms (we saw 3 rooms) have seen better days. The breakfast was not what you would expect in a yoga-minded place, not too healthy options. Also, in a hot environment like Bali, drinking water for guest should really be complementary, as should be towels for the pool.
We didn't like the vibe there, it was more pretending than being among the guests (of course this is not in the hands of the hotel) who claim to be yogis and smoke by the pool, are glued to their mobile phones and don't talk to each other.
The good thing was the speedy WIFI and helpful staff.
We checked out early and were relieved to be gone.
In just one word brilliant.
Very cozy close to nature place. They live by the eco principal.
it's a magical place for anyone to spend time there. As you walk inside the property you start to feel, a good vibe embracing .
Don't need to visit Ubud to feel that magic you can find it here.
Loved it. Helpful friendly staff who are very knowledgeable. Nice clean rooms. Wifi throughout. Nice cafe out front and fantastic yoga, i'm a convert. Only wish we had more time there.
What an amazing accommodation: rooms, staff, food at alkaline, service, suroundings
I will for sure return and stay in this magical place!
Thank you, it was a pleasure staying with you for 23 days!
So helpful, happy, clean and great communication!
