Staying at Omunity was such an unexpected and wonderful surprise. We booked last minute mainly for the location, since we wanted to explore the area the next day. But the experience was so good that we ended up staying longer. Zanzan, the owner, is a truly special human being who makes the stay feel like living in a community. We connected with other guests, and sharing breakfast, lunch, and dinner all together at a big table created such a beautiful and meaningful exchange. The place itself is stunning, surrounded by lush nature and ancient, legendary trees. It was an unforgettable and very rewarding experience to stay there. Highly recommended!

Our stay at Omunity Bali was truly exceptional. We had originally planned to stay just one night but ended up staying three - and we would have loved to stay even longer. Zanzan is an incredible host who puts his whole heart into making your stay unforgettable. There are plenty of activities you can book during your time there and he will gladly help with everything you might need. The delicious breakfasts and dinners were a wonderful experience, always beginning with a beautiful moment of prayer and gratitude. We cherished our conversations with Zanzan and were deeply touched by his big heart for the Earth, the local community and animals. This is the perfect place if you want to learn more about Balinese culture and beliefs. As an animal lover I found this place even more special - far beyond what I could have imagined. Staying here has truly been the highlight of our time in Bali. Thank you, Zanzan, and the whole Omunity team, for your kindness and warmth. You made us feel at home and we will always carry these memories with us with gratitude.

Nothing

The staff. Human connection is guaranteed. The place is amazing, offering spaces to relax, yoga in the morning, and meals around the big table with the rest of the guests. This has been the best experience in Bali so far. Please go and meet Zanzan and his team, it s a lifetime experience!

Leaving!!!

Having read such heartfelt deep and meaningful reviews we booked immediately and had already fallen in love with OMunity before we arrived. It’s hard to be more positive than all that’s been said already except to say this is the REAL Bali… authentic and far from crowds and commercialism. Zan Zan took us in and showed us around like family, as we got to see, hear and feel his history and lineage as well as see his legacy passing into his next generation via his three wonderful young adult children. Whilst his wife was away during our stay, we felt her presence. We extended our stay to 18 days total and loved meeting so many people coming and going… with an average stay of three nights. Most arrived with a big relief to be away from the crowds traffic and noise, mesmerised by the local rice fields, delighted by the treks to waterfalls and expressed a feeling of wishing they could stay longer

Too much fried food, and sweet, not much protein. But I guess this is Balinese cuisine

The people that work there, the oneness with nature, the immersion in real Balinese culture!

There is an aura of peace and calm in this place...it offers a retreat for the spirit as much as for the body. Zan-Zan is an embodiment of this energy --- gentle, calm, forever with a beatific smile on his face. (We did not meet his wife who was traveling, but doubtless she is like that too.) The views from the hotel towards the village below are wonderful. There are good treks nearby to waterfalls. When we left Zan-Zan's mother cooked up some Balinese dessert and offered them to us as goodbye presents.

Lack of consistent hot water but not a major problem

Friendly atmosphere including the dogs, rabbit, duck! Delicious food, lovely quiet environment, personal touch of Zanzan and meeting his children, excellent masseur, a personal,non commercial environment where we were treated like valued guests rather than just clients. We enjoyed learning about Hinduism without it being thrust upon us. We celebrated two birthdays in the family, 50 and 80, and two lovely cakes were provided during dinner time. A memorable stay

A Life-Changing Experience at OMunity Bali Staying at OMunity Bali was nothing short of a blessing in disguise. I arrived in Bali with the intention of healing, and what I received was far more than I ever expected love, connection, community, and a deep sense of peace. Zanzan, Putu, their beautiful children, grandmother, and the kind-hearted staff welcomed me with such grace and sincerity that I immediately felt like part of their extended family. This isn’t just a hotel OMunity is a living, breathing village rooted in tradition, love, and authenticity. It’s located in Sawan, a special village of 10,000 original Balinese families, and it offers the rare opportunity to truly disconnect from the busy world and reconnect with what matters most nature, community, and self. Every guest staying alongside me ended up extending their time a true testament to the magic of this place and the hospitality of its hosts. From heartfelt conversations with Zanzan to sharing delicious vegetarian meals prepared with love, every moment felt sacred. I was even invited to attend three traditional ceremonies during my stay a beautiful and humbling experience I will never forget. One of the highlights for me was visiting a local school in the village led by an inspiring principal who teaches children about sustainability and recycling. I also had the joy of making offering baskets, exploring the breathtaking Sekumpul and Fiji waterfalls, and immersing myself in the local culture in the most authentic way. OMunity is not just a destination it’s a life experience. It lives deep in my heart, and I carry the memories with so much love and gratitude. I’m already counting the days until I return in May 2026. Thank you, OMunity family, for everything. ❤️🙏

Hot water not functioning

It is a wellness retreat that is relaxed and low-key: guests can request activities to their own interests. Communication with host family is very good and there is good opportunity to interact with other guests, Accommodation is centered around a forest garden with a swimming pool. Everything is designed with nature, so it looks natural, and it has traditional buildings! The communal-timed breakfast included in the room fee is great.

Omunity Bali in Sudaji village is a beautiful experience. It has a relaxed pace and lovely garden setting with established trees amongst thatched traditional material structures. The sound of running water and cool breezes provided by large shady trees make it a serene sanctuary. I spent time sleeping and reading amongst the sounds of village life - roosters, dogs and running water. The main draw card was the warmth, grace and generosity of Zan Zan and his family. Communal vegetarian meals sharing a table with the host family and various guests from Denpasar and around the world was a highlight. Zan Zan organised a guided walk out the gate to Sekumpul Waterfalls through gorgeous verdant landscape. We walked amongst vast layers of elevated rice paddies, coffee, white pepper and djurian trees growing, cows feeding and cloves drying via a natural rock water slide, 7m jump and elevated coconut water pit stop to the trio of stunning waterfalls. Such a wonderful outing. A night time temple visit with the family for a new moon ceremony, being driven by Zan Zan to Banjar Hot Springs, local black sand beaches at Kerobokan Beach for a long float in water and a massage in Singaraja were special. Learning about local customs, farming practices and daily life made my stay memorable and very special. I feel rested and restored and very glad to have seen a glimpse of traditional life in the cool clean air of Northern Bali. I loved my time at Omunity Bali and miss seeing Frida the dog at the door of my room!

I just wish I could have stayed longer!!

The stay was absolutely sublime. This was my second time at Omunity Bali, and the experience was just as incredible as the first. You’re welcomed like family, and the homemade meals are absolutely delicious. The environment is peaceful and grounding, making it a truly unique and privileged experience. A perfect place to disconnect and recharge.

The place is very quiet and like the pictures. The room was small but confy and cute. We were welcomed by SanSan and his children, it was very nice. SanSan is a wise man with many stories. The place is very centered around hindouism and this is peaceful. The only thing we regret was not asking for the price of the food offered because it was way more expensive than what you can usually spend (150k/person for one meal). It was really good but i think not worthy of the price. If you just ask for prices before saying yes to activities or food, everything is pleasant. Thank you again,
