Umma Bali Menjangan Retreat

Clean and comfortable. The property including the room was as pictured. Staff were polite, friendly, and proactive. The cabins are cute, the location is scenic, the pool and adjacent rice fields provide a pretty foreground to the nearby mountains. Bathroom (outdoor) facilities were good, with hot water and good pressure. Breakfast was good, simple - about what I expect for this type of accommodation in Bali. Overall a good value, and I'd be happy to stay again.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. Smalll property with only four villas. The owners wife cooked for me each night. The chicken satay is amazing. The pool is perfect for picture taking. Very good vibes and no issues. Owner of villa checked on me each day to make sure all is well. When I come back to this area for snorkel I will come back to umma.

Nothing I can think of.

The room was nice!

There is no restaurant in the retreat, fridge in the room would be nice and breakfast very minimal, no coffee machine for a decent cup of coffee.

Very relaxing property. There are 4 bungalows set in peaceful rice fields. My bungalow was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast next to the pool was good. Staff was nice and helpful. I stayed here for 2 nights to relax after some adventures in Java and was really pleased with my choice to stay here.

Pool was a bit small. My first day there was a family with young kids in the pool and it felt a bit tight to share between us all. However my next day I had the pool to myself so it was fine.

The general atmosphere and surroundings here are wonderfully relaxing. Stunning lush rural scenery from every angle in the grounds, from the warm pool and from the little porch of the cabin. Our host Made and his family are very welcoming, friendly and attentive without being in any way intrusive. Made's English is excellent and we had some interesting conversations about life in northern Bali. Breakfast was simple but delicious. We only had dinner there one night but it was very nice. There are also several other decent options for dining out in the local area, some within walking distance. The location was very convenient for our diving activities which departed from the little Sumberkima harbour just down the road.Loved the outdoor bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Also highly recommend the massage service available.

The cabins are a charming traditional wooden design but lack insulation and there is no ceiling fan, so the little aircon unit struggled to keep the temperature at a comfortable level. It was very hot in October, and even though we are from Darwin and used to the heat, we are also used to having ceiling fans everywhere and we really felt the lack of one. Natural ventilation could be improved if the door to the outside bathroom had a hook on it to hold it open when wanted.The local mosque is quite close and we were woken by the loudspeakers every morning around 5am - they seem to start up even before the roosters. I suppose one gets used to it eventually.

Idyllic setting, looking out at a small rice field with mountain backdrop. Loved the lumbung, the room the balcony and the bathroom!! Staff very helpful, arranged tours and scooter for me, everything was seamless.

Nothing. Ear plugs are a good idea however, there’s quite a cacophony at various times of the night.

We had a lovely stay at Umma Bali. The location was perfect, close to beaches, nature and attractions. Made, the host, w

The hospitality of the owner. He helped us organize excursions. Such as the boat trip to the dolphins or the cultural trips to the nearby temples.Very nice and quiet room. Nice view of the rice field. We would definitely go back.Side note:I am going to send a video of the property to the owner. So he can share it on social media.

To be honest there was nothing disappointing.

Food was amazing!Made was so welcoming.Peaceful location.

First of all, the location is amazing. It is very close to nature with all its beauty in landscape, flora and sounds. You can get a very authentic picture of life on Bali here. Then on top of that, Made, the host, is a very generous and kind man, who will make sure that you have the perfect stay and that your every wish will be fulfilled.

We had a phenomenal stay at Made’s place. He is one of a kind host that is always willing to help. The place is gorgeous, and the pool was great. Breakfast was excellent too. We enjoyed chatting with Made, and learning about Bali and its traditions.

Maybe the only thing that can be improved is the wifi speed.

The location is quite peaceful

I was bite by fleas, almost 100 bite on my limbs! At first I thought I was bite by mosquito, but after I back to canggu and saw a doctor, he told me it’s flea….I never been bite so bad in my entire life! The host should do a thorough insecticide

Wow- What a gem!. We stayed here last week for 3 nights and Made and Nila did everything to make us feel welcome. We were the only guests (but it was low season) . There are four beautifully clean lumbung style rooms overlooking the rice paddies and the Menjangan hills. Our room had great air conditioning, comfortable beds and the bali style outdoor bathroom is among the best we have come across.It is walking distance to other great restaurants but Nila’s cooking is superb so if you don’t want to go out you can stay in and enjoy some fantastic food. Made organised our snorkelling and transport needs at great prices without any hassles. We had some great conversations with Made during our stay and learnt more about the Balinese culture and beliefs on this visit than we had in 20 years of visiting the island. Thanks for a wonderful time. We will definitely return!

This place is a hidden gem! Located in a nice, quiet area, in a small village in north of Bali, far from the tourist crowds where muslim and hindu people live in harmony. The villas are big, very clean and comfortable, with wonderful outside bathrooms. The garden is actually a rice field which brings a relaxing feeling to the place. There is also a small restaurant for the guests on the property and a pool, perfect after a hot day? The owner is really nice and helpful, he also arranged a great massage for us and recommended a place to eat, as the restaurant was closed the evening when we arrived because of a village ceremony - where we were invited the next day??. Also we were greeted with cold coconuts, a small detail that brought us joy. We would totally recommend the retreat and for sure we will come back for a longer stay.

Nothing to mention, everything was great.

The owner was very friendly, he provided all the necessary details on what to do nearby. The view was absolutely superb and the room polished clean.Pool nicely maintained, I could say that the food is not that great in diversity but who doesn’t like scrambled eggs on toast with some fresh fruit! Absolutely recommend!

Made has been an outstanding host. One of the best we had during our Bali’s trip. He’s kind, discreet and will exchange about the Balinese culture thoroughly. Our discussion will stay in our mind for a long time. The cottages are clean, cute and the pool with the view in the rice fields is soothing and peaceful. Moreover, his wife is an incredible cook as we ate the fish with the special Umma sauce that was very tasty. I can’t recommend enough to drop to Umma Bali if you are staying around Permuteran area. He will lighten your stay. We will definitely come back if we are in bali again. Thanks Made

Unfortunately, neighbours can be a bit noisy during the day but that didn’t bothered us too much.

A fantastic getaway spot. Sooo peaceful set amongst the rice paddies. Made was an amazing host, very efficient and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return. A couple of good restaurants close by as well.

Only comment would be it would be good to stock Radlers for those who don't drink Bintangs.

A beautiful place, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on! A very kind and helpful host (Made) who helped us to organise our activities and provided great suggestions. The food was delicious. We didn't want to leave.

Nothing - it was all great.

Only 4 bungalows, beautiful with great view and amazing open air bathroom. The owner is an amazing host and will arrange everything for you. His wife is a great cook, I had breakfast and dinner by the pool every day, no need to eat somewhere else.

Owner is a very helpful nice person!Good ACGood breakfast
