Bamboo hotels in Bali: FAQ
Where are most bamboo hotels in Bali?
Most are inland: around Ubud and north of it near Tampaksiring, in the Sidemen valley and the hills of Karangasem in East Bali, and in Green Village near Abiansemal. A few are near the sea, in Uluwatu, near Nyanyi Beach in Tabanan and on Nusa Penida. For more hotels in those areas, see where to stay in Uluwatu and where to stay in Nusa Penida.
How much does a bamboo hotel in Bali cost?
From about IDR 610,000 a night at Le Sabot Ubud to about IDR 11,000,000 at Ulaman. Most of the stays in this guide cost between IDR 1,000,000 and IDR 5,000,000 a night for two guests, and rates rise over Christmas, New Year and July to August. To plan your dates, see the best time to visit Bali.
Which bamboo stays are closest to Ubud?
Bambu Indah and Le Sabot are just west of central Ubud. Bamboo Turtle Ecolodge and Rescape are south of the center, and Akasha New Earth Haven is north of Ubud. Bambootel Sawah View and Sebatu Sanctuary are farther out, north of Ubud near Tampaksiring.
Are bamboo houses comfortable? What about mosquitoes?
Many bamboo houses are partly open to the garden, so expect insects, geckos and jungle sounds at night. Look for a mosquito net in the listing photos and bring repellent. If you need air conditioning, check the room description, because not every bamboo house has it.
Are bamboo hotels good for children?
Some are, but check before you book. Samanvaya only takes guests aged 14 and over, and Ulaman is adults-only. The Green Village houses have two to six floors, so ask about stairs and railings if you travel with small children.
How do I book a bamboo house in Bali?
Each listing above links to where you can book: the hotel’s own website, Booking.com or Airbnb. Places in Sidemen and Karangasem can be an hour or more by car from Ubud, so ask about transfers and road access before you go.
