- SalMar22Bradford, UK42 contributionsEnjoyed, but not what I was expecting. Walk through the rain forest then through a village with shops, cafes, etc. We walked a bit further to see some rice fields. Don't know where the ridge came into it. It was slippy and I fell twisting my ankle so do be careful.Written 28 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RaymondaleKuala Lumpur, Malaysia1,208 contributionsit it the second time i came here,two weeks ago,i revisited ubud, and stayed around here for two days. yes i meant staying in the middle of rice fields,so i have many chances to experience this place. i walked through here everyday, i saw ducks in the rice fields and also farmers working in the rice fields. there is some warung around this area, so you can take a rest at warung. very relaxing while walking around here. highly recommended!Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David OSydney, Australia14 contributionsLots of space. Beautiful setup. Nice and breezy. The service was really good. The food was great. Our timing wasn’t great because we arrived at the same time of two buses full of tourists and we missed our chance of sitting on the bamboo booths on top of the pond.Written 12 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark B1 contributionA wonderfully tranquil experience. Astri and Eva were obviously highly trained and dedicated to their profession. They made us feel blissfully connected.Written 19 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Asha SChicago, Illinois, United States26 contributionsI am a painter but I brought my 75 yr old dad, 65yr old mom and sister to the class with zero experience and they LOVED it. Gusti was an amazing teacher. He’s very patient and truly believes in the value of art - we took forever to finish our paintings but he never rushed us. It was the perfect activity to do where you can be together but separate at the same time. Would go back again and do one of his other classes- small paintings or wood carving.Written 9 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Radu BCluj-Napoca, Romania465 contributionsThere is a beautifully preserved rock carving 26m long &2m tall about daily Balinese life: the farmer, animal hunting, women in community. The temple itself is tiny, small and not well maintained. 30k IDR access fee with free sarong included. 500m walk from parking by a nice rice paddies area, but not recommended if is to hot! Kinndly but strong refuse the locals who offer to show you the place, I heard them with a group speaking no English, no history questions answer, but high tip expected. Discover the place by yourself.Written 30 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- David MCape Town Central, South Africa303 contributionsour guide was wonderful spending time explaining the whole process and answering any questions, coffee and tea samples were interesting, the coffee is really good and you can taste the difference, but be prepared to pay if you make it your daily drinkWritten 7 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JonesIndonesia2 contributionsMy experience at Hars Garden was amazing! On arrival i was greeted by him at the entrance to his Jungle after walking through his organic garden, with his dreadlocks hanging near to the floor and a big healthy organic smile.
Instantly i knew that this was the ideal place for me.
Slowly walking up the steps into my treehouse accommodation trying to take in all the jungle and nature around me.
The treehouse was unreal! So simple so unique! It drops off probably 20m from the balcony into the deep jungle with a river and waterfall at the bottom!
Waking up at 6am with a very slight few strips of sunlight shining through the jungle canopy, it was torrential rain and i had never felt ever before the pure deep form of mother nature like that!
Laying in bed with the large glass windows in front dropping off into the deep wet jungle!
The sounds of running water and birds,frogs,monkeys literally i did not want to leave this moment.
3hours later i finally prized myself out of my trance to start the course.
Breakfast was a huge tray of fruit all from the garden then a main course of salad and ubi (potato) all obviously grown by hars and picked early morning by Hars while i was daydreaming into the jungle haha.
What i learnt from this dude was not just how to grow great organic food but how to live in this world with the ecosystem and not against it, also how to create a ecosystem on my land in Sumbawa that was partly destroyed by corn farming.
His information was golden and his mission in life (to save the ecosystem and work with nature) also to educate the word on how to grow organic food and to work with nature not against it.
Using his own techniques and also others from hundreds of years ago.
Basically he is a all time hero and the course was very beneficial to me and my family to create a new life over in Sumbawa living from the land and working with Nature.
The course was supposed to be 2 days but i booked a extra day in because there was so much i wanted to learn!
Overall i done 3 days 4 nights there, the three hour course a day was not really enough for me to take everything in, ideally i would like to take a week course 8hours a day haha but obviously Hars has a life too and to steal his time that much just wouldn't be fair.
When i left he kindly gave me over 30 different types of herbs and strains that i could bring with me to sumbawa.
Now all i need to do is keep them alive and spread hars knowledge to others who are grownig using monoculture techniques destroying the ecosystem.
Thanks Hars and good luck with your future project in Sumba!

I go to spas every time I go on vacation and I can say by far this is the best spa I have ever been too. I am trying to take Dewl back home with me to California because I have never had a spa experience this good. Amazing experience.Written 18 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- What We Found TravellingSydney, Australia8,051 contributionsYou must book ahead so as not to miss out.
Our 90 minute Balinese massage was just another divine experience here.
The therapists are very proficient.
Great value for money.
The outdoor couples massage rooms are incredible.
The most complete massage experience outside of central Ubud is right here at Karsa Spa.
They’ll even drive you back into Ubud centre for a small fee.Written 15 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Following an email request Soemantri and the team helped me to track down the artist of a painting that we had seen during a visit to Ubud 3.5 years ago. Not only did they find the artist, but much to my surprise and delight the actual painting was currently available. They then facilitated a negotiation between the artist and I. Once a price was agreed, Titian also facilitated my payment (from the UK) and organised the shipping. I have now received my painting and I could not be happier.
I have been blown away by the courtesy, attentiveness and integrity shown by Soemantri and the Titian team throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend this gallery.Written 7 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The teacher was so patient, welcoming and had a great sense of humour. She encouraged me to film the dance attempt and I’ve really enjoyed reliving it (although I was far from good!) and showing friends at home. I love dance and what it does for the mind, body and soul and this was a special, authentic experience. Easy to book online, I just did it through messenger. Thank you for the memories and take care 🙏🏻 XxxWritten 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
