We were in Bali with a bunch of friend for some of whom this was the first time. Was looking to take them to an organised village theme place and chanced upon this. Some of the reviews did mention that it was a bit too touristy. I would say, so what? the whole village was so charming, spotless and clean. You get a tase of the village houses, temple and the complete setting with some handicraft shopping thrown in to help sustain the locals. Great concept for those who dont have the time to go explore by themselves and an opportunity to visit the inside of the compound of almost all the houses there. Loved the experience.

Very beautiful and unique. Every single house is connected to their neighbors and every single house has its very unique design. Although you need to pay to get into the village and although every house sell something, I think it is still worth of visiting this village. but if you want to buy something remember to bargain it HARD. we bought something which was 4 times more expensive than buying in shops...

A very pretty and tranquil street (if only you could get rid of the poser photo takers). Clean walkways and welcoming people. You see the same, same in every shop so don’t waste your money. Nice 20 minute stroll

This traditional village recently received a tourism award and international recognition. The village is not too big, so maybe just 15 minutes of exploring will be done. However, if you want to spend more time, you have to explore the bamboo forest. Come in the morning, not in the afternoon. Don't forget to buy the local specialty drink called Loloh Cemcem. If you want to rent typical clothes for photos, you can do it there too.

Our extended family visited the village and were very impressed. As advertised, there is no vehicle traffic on the street, and it is very clean. The building and monuments are very well maintained for a place supposedly 700 years old. We also found the inhabitants to be very friendly. Actually, each house along the main street is a shop selling some kind of food, drink, or souvenir. Perhaps what has protected the village is its distance from the main tourist area of southern Bali. It takes close to two hours to get to the village from the Kuta area. We did not have time to visit the bamboo forest on the north side of the village, but did drive through it. The quantity of bamboo was impressive and made virtual tunnels over the road in places.
