There is a lot of variation in the meaning of the word “glamping” in Bali. Some places offer just a minor upgrade on a standard tent, while others exist to cater for the super-rich.
And in the middle, you’ll find places like Sang Giri Mountain Tent Resort by Puri Signatures in Tabanan. It’s still reasonably priced, but you get a lot of creature comforts for your buck.
So, our team were delighted to go and see what the fuss was about at this popular glamping site, and this is what they discovered on their trip.

Cleanliness and Maintenance
Ah, there’s a certain amount of the natural world that you have to endure if you want to sleep in a tent, no matter how posh that tent may be.
In this case, the rooms are pretty well kept, but bugs, vegetation, etc., will invade your personal space no matter how hard the cleaning team works. That’s outdoor living for you.
Sleep Quality
It’s a beautiful, quiet and natural space with not much to interfere with your sleep, and the beds are OK given the price point too.
However, as with cleanliness, there is a certain amount of nature involved in your life in these places, and you may find that light sleepers can’t deal with that.
Staff Attitude And Service Culture
We found the staff here to be very lovely, indeed. This is a budget hotel in the middle of nowhere, so you need to have reasonable expectations – you aren’t getting fluent English speakers trained to the standards of the Ritz-Carlton.
However, you are going to find that they are very much dedicated to ensuring you have the best time possible during your stay. And that’s good enough.
Check-in/Check-out Experience
It never really takes very long to check into a tent on a hillside in a part of Bali that sees very few visitors. And that’s the reality of a stay here, too.
Leaving is equally straightforward, but make sure to have your onward transport arranged in advance; there’s no guarantee that you will be able to get a Grab or Gojek here at all.
Bathroom Quality & Functionality
We’re back to sharing the facilities with nature, and while the bathrooms are decent enough, they are nothing to write home about, either, and you may find yourself sharing them with something from the outside world every now and again.
Value For Money
We don’t think you can argue with the price for a stay here. While we wouldn’t recommend booking yourself in for weeks at a time, for a quick getaway, it’s cheap, cheerful, and the view alone is worth the price of admission.
It’s one of the cheapest glamping deals around, and that’s great news.
Food And Beverage Execution
The food and beverages are just OK, and they are pretty steeply priced for what they are. You are very much a captive audience when you stay at Sang Giri Mountain Tent Resort, and that means you have to put up with this if you didn’t bring something with you.
We would also note that you get very little choice at any meal. One or maybe two options is the limit. We most certainly would not visit this place just for the food.
Location & Immediate Surroundings
This is an area of spectacular beauty, and we think anyone seeking a different side of Bali will be very happy to be here. It’s also very safe.
However, it really is in the middle of nowhere. You come here to commune with nature, and if you want to go anywhere else, you will need your own transportation.
Facilities & Amenities Vs Promise
Things are as promised in the marketing material, but there’s nothing here that is anything beyond an “OK” state. This is reflected in the price tag, to be fair.
Overall “Personality”
There’s no doubt this place is memorable, and mainly, for good reasons. The view is second to none, and if you’re on a tight budget, this is the kind of holiday spot you will look back fondly on in the years to come.
