Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness

Fabulous location with a fantastic open view. Beautiful grounds. Quiet, calm and peaceful. Very conducive to meditation and slowing down bringing awareness. The yogashala is beautiful. Huge room, very clean and well maintained. Lots of windows and so a lot of light. Direct view of the mountains and rice fields. But not in the right position for sunrise or sunset in case you are looking for that. But nevertheless, the view from the room was fantastic.

Hot water did not work in the shower. I called for help. One of the staff members showed me that the tap needs to be turned in the opposite direction to get hot water. The gas heater did turn on when I turned the tap in the opposite direction. But still there was no hot water. I let the water flow for a couple of minutes but still no hot water. The breakfast was ok-ish. The morning movement session conducted by the staff was ok-ish. they hardly gave any instruction. When they did it was so low that I could barely hear them. They need to improve in their instruction skills. It would have been better if they had left us to meditate on our own.

Quite and peacefully

Location and views

Very poor Wifi and a struggle to keep hot water going for a shower

Good value for money. Room really spacious, breakfast was outstanding if you take breakfast include your booking. Fast serving food. Quiet yoga shala

The view from the accomodation is quite spectacular, you can see the rice fields, and you are surrounded by nature. One of the best views from Bali. The rooms are also very big and look nice, but read about the problems as well.

I wasn't able to sleep and had to leave the accomodation after 1 night even if I booked 3 because I was not feeling safe. I think this might be typical for Bali, but the roof was not completely closed which meant that you could hear all the noises from outside. I also had a reptile in the room (not a cute tiny gecko, but a big thing) that was living on the roof and was pooping all over the place, like animals typically do. I wouldn't have left a bad review to be honest, because it's in the middle of nature so I guess it's expected. But the staff was so RUDE. When I told the manager about the room situation she said "what is wrong with you, everyone loves that room?". So after being afraid and hearing strage noises all night, being woken up at 6 AM because of a ceremony I also had to indure the staff blaming me for "being wrong". This is not a behavior I was expecting from a place that is for living awareness. I also didn't get any of the money back and they claimed they can't do anything because it was booked through booking.

Location , views , seclusion

More insects in the rooms than we’ve had on our years trip in Asia . It was heavy rain at times so maybe that was the reason . Worth that little inconvenience for everything else that was wonderful about the place .

The food was delicious, it was really nice to meditate in the mornings with the staff. The view from my room was exceptional and so calming and relaxing. It was exactly what I needed.
