Exceptional value for money, super comfortable bed and bedding, private bungalow with charming bali style outdoor ensuite. Central pool, with casual restaurant and bar. Family run business by local people. Dana and his team are warm, welcoming and can organise everything you need, scooters, taxi pick up drop off, snorkelling,boat trips.The cooking lesson at The Dafish outdoor kitchen was a highlight, and the food from their kitchen was fresh and delicious. The yellow curry and satay were the best I've had in Bali. The location is an easy walk to surfing and snorkelling beach at Mahana Point, the local zipline, mini mart, resorts, restaurants and local Warungs. Very highly recommend The Dafish to those who want to enoy their Ceningan experience with a local flavour.

Nusa Ceningan is becoming quite exclusive, with resorts being built around the village near Dafish. This however adds to the charm of Dafish, as it remains the local gem.

The pool, the cozy rooms, the showers, the very friendly and happy staff. Was great.

That we only got one bottle of water a day and the rest is at a cost. Water really shouldn’t be restricted like this. We’d rather not have an included breakfast than have to pay for water. Also there was an issue on the booking.com website in regards to the free shuttle back to the Yellow Bridge. Apparently the site isn’t updated to say that the free shuffle is only from the Yellow Bridge and you have to pay to go back. We had to send screenshots via WhatsApp to the staff to reconcile this. Also there was nothing good for healthy vegetarian food on the menu, from memory the closest thing was a cheese pizza, so we preferred going out to eat.

Can't speak highly enough of Dafish & the staff. Very welcoming & so obliging. Would recommend getting one of the wee cabins away from road noise if possible. Lucky shop across the road was wonderful & Kembar Sari just arnd the corner (headng to bridge) is fab. Clothes, hanging shell curtain things etc. Owner is lovely. The grounds cld do with bit of TLC & deck furniture getting a bit tired but still absolutely loved it here. I had the place to myself so it was quiet, peaceful, wonderful & no loud banging music around the pool!!

Loved it all. A wee table beside loungers would be great for books, drinks etc

The Dafish feels like your home away from home. Dana & Yogi & all the staff are genuine, welcoming and happy people that will go out of their way to make your stay special. The rooms are basic but so clean and comfortable. Beds are soft (unlike a lot in Bali), air con great & the outdoor bathroom has so much character. Food is delicious & we were very fortunate to be able to do a cooking class with the chef at short notice, a highlight for sure! Incredible value for money, I rarely stay at the same accommodation twice but this was my second visit to Dafish & we loved it again.

Nothing. As Cenigen becomes more exclusive the Dafish will become a rare gem - a genuine, peaceful, family run Homestay.

A wonderful hotel for a peaceful stay, featuring a very comfortable bed. The hot water and semi-outdoor shower are truly enjoyable. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always smiling. I also highly recommend the snorkeling excursion offered by the hotel !

Areas for Improvement - Providing water bottles would be a great added convenience. - Offering daily cleaning service, especially for long stays, would be appreciated. - Updating your linen service would enhance the experience. - An outdoor drying rack would be a useful addition.

Beds were comfy and pool was nice we didn't spend much time as we were out exploring and catching up with friends

Cenigen has recently had alot of rain so mozziies were bad and the location of the villa we chose backed onto the road that was full of water so this would have nothelped. Would suggest getting a load of backfill.to fix the road so that it dosnt pool with water and would also be less noisy with the scooter riding as well

We booked the superior room and although small it was great for a couple nights. The bathroom was clean with hot water which was excellent. The pool and facilities were exactly like described. The best thing about Dafish was honestly the staff. They made us feel welcome from the moment we got there, always greeted us, chatted to us, organised tours for a great price and helped us move to our next place. We have been travelling for 2 months now and we haven’t had staff so attentive and lovely. They were the best.

This is a family owned and run business. The family was wonderful and even though my son and I only stayed one night they treated us like family the entire time. We fished the next day with Captain Santana and also had a wonderful time. It is small and quiet. The pool was beautiful. I highly recommend and my only regret was not being able to stay longer. My son and I hope to be able to return one day and will definitely be staying at the Dafish!! Thanks to everyone there!!

Food is as ok. I openly admit we are American and are a little picky about food, so I wouldn’t necessarily blame this on the kitchen.

The room was nice. The pool area was nice.

The room was small, I'd probably go for a bigger room if going again. The pool needs cleaning. It's salt water which is great but means the water was dirty. The doors to the room was a sliding door that kept breaking. We stayed a week which is more than most people would, if your staying a night or 2 I wouldn't have thought these things would bother you.

Very well presented bungalows in a location ideal on Ceningan for beaches and restaurants. My bungalow had a/c, fridge etc etc. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, organising trips, and my onward travel. My bungalow was decorated with fresh flowers on my arrival, a small but very nice touch.

The availability of the kitchen for meals outside of breakfast was a bit hit and miss, but there are plenty of other eating options locally.
