PRESS & RECOGNITION
As featured in
The guests who return year after year, who recommend Rumah Hujan to the people they love most, and who leave having felt something quiet and genuine — they are the measure of everything we do. We listen to them carefully, and we are grateful for every word.
We are also deeply grateful for the recognition below. To have been written about by Condé Nast Traveller, the Financial Times, Wallpaper, and Architectural Digest — publications whose editorial standards we have long admired — is something we do not take lightly. Their words have found their way to guests who might otherwise never have found us, and for that we are thankful.
“The biggest surprise was the newly opened spa — an exceptional addition. Having a fully private spa is quite rare. We often stay in five-star hotels known for their wellness offerings, but this felt entirely our own — because it was. The estate itself is remarkable, and we’re very glad we chose to reserve it in full. Even with a few unused rooms, the space gave us the freedom to move through the property entirely at our own pace, with complete privacy”
“Rumah Hujan was recommended by a friend, and it was just perfect. I always love coming back to Bali — I made a movie here years ago, so it means a lot to me. My husband and kids were so happy. It felt private, calm, and easy from the moment we arrived. The team is wonderful, and the food is really special. It truly feels like a home away from home.”
WHAT GUESTS SAY
“Like staying at a luxurious five-star hotel but with the privacy of your own home”
“A slice of understated luxury in a very beautiful part of the world. The design of all the spaces was immediately striking, and the picturesque setting takes it to another level.”
“This villa has soul and heart — and the view is breathtaking”
“Design lovers will feel at home directly. The architecture and interior is amazing.”
“The perfect blend of attentive and private. A rare type of family holiday that was both relaxing and fun”
