I stayed with my wife here for 2 nights and it was truly an amazing experience. The food here was world class , both Widi and Oji made sure we had top service and experiences at the property
The entire team is super friendly, caring, and attentive. From check-in at the pavilion and then being escorted to the villa, from daily activity bookings to in-room services, its dining experience. Of course we booked this property for its natural beautiful surroundings. It was a memorable 4-nights retreat, highly recommended!
Positives:
- Hotel is situated in the jungle which allows for a unique and immersive nature experience
- The 16 villas are beautiful and spacious, completely open and well equipped with a lot of attention to detail and local craftsmanship
- Very private and quiet
- Own waterfall and rice field on the property
- Complimentary morning yoga
- Sustainably sourced, plant-based food from the very own garden and close surroundings
Negatives:
- The service was extremely friendly but not well organized. They send you a link to a guest portal where you can fill out preferences, arrival time etc. Even though I did it they asked me several times again to fill it in. On arrival they didn’t have the correct info on file and even requested me to send them the booking confirmation from Expedia (which I found a bit odd and never experienced before)
- The sheets and towels were not clean. There were stains on almost everything
- Turndown service is from 5-7pm. They arrived at 5pm so I asked them to kindly return in 1h as I was just about to take a shower. They said yes but didn’t come back. At 7pm nobody had showed up still
- When leaving they said they would send someone for the luggage 10min before I was being picked up. Nobody showed up, my driver had to wait another 15min for the luggage
Overall it’s a very unique and beautiful experience with breathtaking views of the jungle. But you have to be into camping and being very close to nature (since they are very eco-friendly they don’t
Buahan is a very lovely place to get pampered and spoiled. The staff is extremely attentive and the place is gorgeous. A very special place to treat yourself to.
Hvis jeg kunne have givet hotellet 6 stjerner, havde jeg gjort det. Alt var fantastisk, fra vores værelse, til udsigten, til servicen, til de daglige udflugter og til maden. Alt var gennemtænkt ned til den mindste detalje! Restauranten er fuldstændig eminent! De leveret kulinariske oplevelser til hvert eneste måltid!
Stunning environment as if nature hosts you and the staff are kind and experts in their work. The goodness of the recipes with local ingredients were unforgettable. Once in your life I recommend you come to this hotel. It will remain as a worthless experience forever.
숙소는 너무 좋아요
자연친화적이고 새소리 들으면서 자고
다만 산 위다 보니 좀 추워서 물에 들어가면 추울거 같아서 수영장을 못 썻구
제일 별로인건.. 3박을 햇는데
비용이 620만원 적지 않는 돈인데
여기에서 제공되는 1일 2식
음식이 너무 별로에요
컨셉상 건강식 컨셉인지 모르겠는데
먹는거만 빼면 괜찮을 거 같기도 한데
다시 가야한다면…. 음 저는 안갈거같아요
I never write a review, except for now after visiting the banyan tree.
One word “amazing”
The complete experience was genuine, attentive and heartwarming.
This is a true luxury experience at its best! The entire team went for the extra mile to welcome their guests.
