Second time staying here. Good for the price. Slightly run down compared to our first visit 5 years ago. Family run and all the staff are amazing! So friendly. So helpful. Can’t say enough good things about staff. Breakfast is simple but good. Rooms are dated but clean with comfy beds. Air con is not the greatest. Lacked amenities, our room only had two pool towels, no regular towels. No bottled water. No coffee. Pool needs repair and cleaning.

The island in general was very special and the family at The Dafish was just wonderful. I stayed in one of their deluxe cottages which gave me privacy and yet the ability to interact with the daily goings on. The village is very friendly and the Dafish family in particular could not do enough for you. They made my visit a pleasure. I would definitely come back.

Nice stay but not fabulous property.
The staff were lovely but the property is 3 star at best. There was a lot of noise at night from dogs fighting and the electricity went off each day. The AC in the bedroom struggled to keep up with the heat. Bathrooms were very ordinary. It’s a cute facility but nothing to write home about.

Great place for the price!
It was a perfect place for what we wanted. We were busy on adventures during the day and it was a nice place for us to come back to and relax in the evening. The only negative, it is a small one, is that the air conditioner didn't cool the room very well. The owners were very courteous and helpful. They are good people.

Perfect spot
This great little spot was perfect and great value. The service was outstanding. The people here are what make this place. Easy communication and always going out of their way to help. It’s close to all the best things, easily walkable to secret beach, blue lagoon, Mahana point and several ocean front bars and restaurants to watch the sunset. The breakfast was good, the pool was the perfect temperature. The gardens area is new and still growing but that will improve with time. I would happily stay again and refer my friends and family.

Amazing staff. Super friendly and helpful. Booked all our trips/boats/scooter rentals from them. Great location. Had problems with our initial room air con, quick to try and fix it but still wasn’t working so gave us a new room. Pool is nice, salt water, very refreshing after a long day in the sun. Lots of options for food around. Only cons was a bit loud with road noise and animals but nothing crazy. Also, no hot water in the showers. Would definitely stay again. Great place for the price.

Pretty good
Great place with a family vibe. Service was good and they always went the extra mile. The accommodation was pretty basic but nice. I recommend renting a scooter to explore the two islands.

Bumped
Although I booked in January for a holiday in July the night before our arrival the Darfish contacted me to say they were overbooked and were having difficulty finding alternative accommodation which was very concerning..The hotel manager managed to find accommodation but it's not what you want to hear as you are about to head off on holiday.

Beautiful place to stay
Great place to stay, Sentana and his staff are very hospitable and lovely. The villas are lovely, there is a small view of the ocean, but if you go up to the platform in the tree you get a really good view. It is relatively small and quiet although the island is becoming overrun with tourists. Highly recommend.

Lovely, friendly staff always eager to help. Small enough & tucked-away enough to feel peaceful, yet close enough to everything we wanted. We had the family bungalow which was great- the upstairs bathroom was in need of some rejuvenation, but perfectly functional. Nice to have a fridge to store drinks in.

Excellent family run accommodation
This was one of (if the the most) our favourite accommodations in Bali. Friendly and knowledgable staff from Nusa Ceningan, this is a family run business and you will be treated like family guests. One of the highlights of our trip was a snorkelling trip with Santana, swimming with Manta Rays and amongst amazing coral beds and beautifully coloured fish. We stayed in an air-conditioned bungalow with outside bathroom, huge comfortable bed with a mosquito net and balcony with a view of the sea. We hired a scooter from Nusa Lembongan, Da Fish can also organise this for you, which was great to explore the two islands. Tasty restaurant on site also and a tree house where you can watch the sunset.

Home away from home
The overall stay experience at Dafish was amazing! They catered to every need that they were capable of, made easy conversation and playful yet professional. The small family business makes you feel like you are staying at your home away from home with room to accommodate all shapes, sizes and ages. We stayed in the family apartment which gave us a beautiful view of island and allowed us to relax in our own private place. I definitely recommend this place for those who are seeking a holiday where they want to be more involved in the community and to have a full experience of the island getting to know the local lingo and culture of Ceningan Island.
