Nunu Bali Eco Friendly Retreat — Hotel in Pulau Bali

short version||Nunu is only 2 months old and is currently still an absolute hidden gem! The best resort of all we stayed in Bali, so don't think about it, just book it. You will definitely not regret it! ||long version||NuNu is run by a very nice young man from London. He has traveled the world himself for years, so he knows exactly what is important in good resort. He is a very open-hearted and nice person and that is exactly what is very important to him with all of his employees. All the people are very nice, friendly and you quickly get a feeling of “family”. |We never locked our doors and our valuables were left by the pool when we were out, why?

The bungalows are made entirely of wood, which means you can hear your neighbors well :) If that bothers you, just take one of the double rooms (double bed, instead of single beds pushed together), then you have your own bungalow. We were advised of this when booking, but it wasn't a problem for us.

long version

NuNu is run by a very nice young man from London. He has traveled the world himself for years, so he knows exactly what is important in good resort. He is a very open-hearted and nice person and that is exactly what is very important to him with all of his employees. All the people are very nice, friendly and you quickly get a feeling of “family”. We never locked our doors and our valuables were left by the pool when we were out, why? Because everyone here pays attention to each other's things. The host puts all his energy into this project. He is very grateful for any ideas or suggestions you give. For example, he offers free drinking water for everyone by treating tap water with special filters. I suggested that all rooms and guests should have free, washable glass bottles available so that nobody had to buy plastic bottles first. A day later he brought bottles for all. The resort is his baby and he does everything to get the best out of it.

I'm not sure why other reviews are raving so much about this place. Okay yes the garden is beautiful and the staff are friendly but atm there are some things that require maintenance and it's not being done. I was staying in the dorm room. It's on the more basic side without curtains, no personal lights,... But fine. But the bathroom cabinet has a big burnmark on it and is also suffering from water damage. The water intake for the toilet is leaking, the tap is loose, and it seems like they never do a deep clean. Their little window thing in the bathroom is full of dust and bugs. The roof also leaks when it rains. They have a communical kitchen but there is no cutlery and it appears quite dirty. Also there is no fridge. I did find a fridge that was turned off in their "bar" area which I ended up using but this one definitely also needs a deep clean. All in all, the place is quite cheap but I have definitely slept in nicer places in a better location for about the same price. Also, only book this is if you want to be in the middle of nowhere and are looking for rest. Canggu is about 30 min away by scooter and there are no other food places or shops close by to Nunu. Nunu's own restaurant has a good selection of food though. I feel like someone tried to build their version of paradise but then forgot about a bunch of things and all the maintenance that actually needs to be done to make it paradise. Again, it's definitely an alright stay, but some things could for sure be improved. That being said, the activities the staff organise are...
