Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

LikedThe most beautiful place we stayed in! The forest surrounding you, the common areas perfectly taken care of, the room with no walls letting you be fully immersed in nature, the staff giving you every day a warm yet professional hospitality treatment. Everything in this place is perfect! We loved the food as well, which was a great surprise of unconventional dishes always changing during our stay. The highlight is that this place resets your circadian rhythm, being fully exposed to natural light your body reconnects immediately. The property offers many different activities every day. In our next stay we will try to engage more with those rather than having a busy schedule outside. The team all and our lovely host Widi, special thanks to him, made our stay memorable during our wedding anniversary trip! And it was a pleasure seeing them all genuinely happy there and interested in engaging in conversation with all guests. It is a must stay in Bali for us from now on.

LikedOur stay at Banyan Tree Hotel in Bali was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt surrounded by serenity and warmth. The design of the resort is breathtaking — a perfect blend of nature and luxury. The No Walls No Doors concept was one of the most unique experiences we’ve ever had, and it was actually the main reason we chose to stay here. It gave us a sense of openness, freedom, and connection with nature that made our time unforgettable. The service was exceptional — every staff member treated us like family, always smiling and making sure every detail was perfect. Their kindness made our stay feel personal and special. A highlight of our trip was the private waterfall. It’s a beautiful, peaceful spot that feels like a hidden paradise. We truly appreciated this experience and highly recommend it.

DislikedFor improvement, we’d suggest adding a small amenity box near the waterfall area — with towels or mats to sit on after crossing the river. It would make the experience even more comfortable. Also, it would be great if the villa pool lights could be turned off at night or have a switch control, as they stayed on all night and slightly affected our sleep. Overall, Banyan Tree Hotel in Bali exceeded our expectations. It’s an experience filled with beauty, calmness, and romance — one that stays in your heart long after you leave.

LikedExcellent service and atmosphere Truly unique and amazing experience. Breathtaking views in the middle of the jungle (located about 1 hr from Ubud) The hotel has a clear vision around ethics and culture which runs through all aspects of the hotel including the menu which is 70% plant based and locally sourced. Particularly enjoyed the walk to the private waterfall and the dining experience over the 2 nights we were there. We got really good service from Diva and Tinie, always smiling, welcoming and went the extra mile. Also shout out to the manager Raka who listened and genuinely welcomed feedback.

DislikedThe only issue is on the last night they run out of Tequila, which is not acceptable considering the remote location and that this hotel is luxury 5 star. The manager came to say sorry and acknowledged this was not good enough. (My wife only drinks tequila). The manager Raka was great, very empathetic and listened to what we had to say. I think 2-3 nights would be sufficient to stay here should you wish to completely relax.

LikedAmazing place and amazing services. The view is like a fairytale, the staff is more than happy to help and the food is amaizing. Wonderful to wake up in such a view, hearing the birds sing and play on the edge of the pool. Can't wait to come back!

LikedBuahan is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, the incredible team made us feel at home. Arsana, Sri, Ogi, Suyasa, Rudi, Legi, Titi, Budi, and Dharma each brought their own warmth, care, and attention that made our stay unforgettable. The property is breathtaking—immersed in nature, open to the jungle, with amazing food, a restorative spa, and an atmosphere of complete peace. Buahan is more than a resort, it is an experience we will treasure and return to.

LikedZero mosquito in the living and sleeping area. Nice 5 course dinner and the accessibility of water fall from my room was the highlight.

DislikedLocation is bit far from airport so taxi service are hard and bit expensive
