The bamboo house itself is beautiful and has been thoughtfully put together. The beds are comfortable. I loved all the little amphibians and reptiles - this was my favourite part! Loved watching the geckos catch the giant insects at night. Little frogs surrounded us in the outdoor shower. One jumped on my leg - they are so cute. Also got swooped by a bat at dinner. If you are not a fan of creepy crawlies, you would hate it here.
The experience is not at all what it is made out to be in the description. I expected secluded nature, peace and quiet. I booked this place specifically to relax. You cannot relax at Suboya at all. It is way too noisy from the roads that surround it (there is one right behind and to the side - you can watch the cars on the road from the house). There are trucks that make really loud, weird noises all night. Even worse, there is construction going on directly behind the house. If I had known this, I would not have booked. We could watch the machinery from the bathroom and upper balconies. It also smelt like someone was smoking weed occasionally. It was awful. I couldn't believe the amount we paid to stay here and they didn't even have the courtesy to tell us this. When I mentioned to the staff about the noisy construction they just said that the builders weren't contracted to them so there was nothing they could do. Ok - but you would have known about these builders and chose not to advise us in advance. There was also construction over the rice fields next to the other Camaya villas that we could see.
There are also roosters and dogs in the surrounding village that continuously cockadoodledoo and bark ALL NIGHT. For hours on end. They are relentless. We could not sleep. Even with earplugs in. I was pretty devastated about the experience to be honest. I came to the realisation that this place is more suited to people who want to turn up and take pics for social media rather than people who want a peaceful experience in a beautiful location. It's not secluded.
The food in the restaurant is also below par. It was disappointing and very expensive for the quality. It was also quite annoying to have to whatsapp the restaurant to let them know what we wanted for breakfast the next day and what time. We would have preferred to just go for breakfast whenever we felt like it and chosen what we wanted each morning.

The landscape is amazing.
The place is very quiet and relaxing.
The villa is very beautiful and large.
We were not told that it was impossible to find a driver to leave the hotel since it is located in a secondary zone. We lost 2 hours looking for one.
The restaurant focuses more about quantity than quality.
The jacuzzi was not working.

staff were great, views were amazing, house is incredible. our drivers were great and timely.
some of the food arrived cold as it’s quite a long walk to the house from the kitchen. some of the food wasn’t on par with the price (particularly the meats were quite fatty and not edible). the water in the shower and pool didn’t stay warm.

We stayed at the Suboya house (more expensive) to unwind after a long 26 hour journey from Ireland and it was fantastic. Incredible views of the jungle and rice paddies, the bottom floor is completely open plan. The attention to detail is very impressive - there's many sitting areas to admire the view, the lights are romantic, mosquito repellant is provided, the beautiful house needs no air conditioning due to the airflow. It has 2 hammocks, one upstairs, one downstairs and the jacuzzi can be heated.
There is an on site restaurant and the food is generally delicious- even the chips! Breakfast is wonderful and feels authentic and the menu is varied - the grilled pineapple is amazing. The staff are so warm and caring. You must visit this place - the pictures do not do it justice. You can sleep upstairs or downstairs. Doanstairs you will fall asleep to the sounds of the jungle - it can be a little loud though, so bring earplugs if you are a very light sleeper!
This place is extremely romantic and ultimately, very unique and worth every rupiah you spend booking it.
The restaurant food is expensive compared to Bali and you are left with no other real option. There is very little to do inside the small estate but please remember this place is perfect to relax and admire the views, walk the paddies and bathe in peace. You do not need to do activities, but they are offered if you wish. Also, you are REALLY in the Jungle. There are many many bugs, lizards and I even saw a snake on a walk. They are harmless, but if you don't enjoy bugs you will find them everywhere. I left my suitcase open on the second floor and found many very small flies had died on top of some clothes. So my advice is to pack everything away when finished with it. Lastly, it is 2.5 hours away from the airport when there is traffic, we expected it to be only 1.5 hours but bali is crazy for traffic, so expect this when you are travelling from denpasar airport.

The house was more spacious than I expected from the pictures and awe-inspiring! As a solo traveler it’s great if you need some R&R although the beauty of this property should truly be shared with others during your stay. It’s a “magical” home away from home. All staff were wonderful, kind, and very prompt with your requests.
There’s nothing I didn’t like although I read in a description somewhere that there’s no WiFi and I didn’t know they served food. So, I was relieved there’s WiFi access and could order from their menu if my groceries ran out. I would’ve definitely extended my 3-day stay otherwise!

The suboya bamboo house was breathtaking. Beyond anything we expect. The location is far away from anything so be prepared to be more or less secluded for the days you are there. The outdoor jacuzzi can be heated, total dreams! The staff even put flowers into the pool for us. Totally unique experience that we will always remember

This is one of the most amazing properties you will ever stay at. There are 4 bamboo houses in this compound and each house has its own unique style and flare. I stayed at the Suboya which was the original house made famous for its net bed overlooking the beautiful rice terraces. The house is open concept, built in the traditional style but with modern finishes. There's even a half moon pool that was flooded with flowers making it the ultimate photo spot. This is without a doubt the most Instagrammable and most unique property I've stayed in. Highly recommended for a pure and blissful getaway in Bali!
