Safely managed drinking water, Indonesia, 2024: The World Health Organization reports 30 per cent of the population nationally, 35 per cent in urban areas, 24 per cent in rural areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing.
Regional data is context about the location. It does not establish conditions inside a room.
Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Keliki, Bali, Indonesia, 30 days to 2026-08-17: Modelled ambient air over this location averaged 18.7 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5 and 21.6 of PM10 across the 720 hours to 2026-08-17, peaking at 52.7 PM2.5. The World Health Organization annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5. This is the outdoor air over the area, modelled rather than measured on site, and it is not a reading of the air inside any room.

Evidence by area
All eight areas, in the order this index reads them. Every line was read and placed by a person.

In their words: “Windows can be open like safari tents, unzipping the inner canvas curtain or the outer mosquito net.”

Not published. We looked and found nothing on this, which is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
Materials and Textiles
The property's accommodation page names Bamford as the brand of the bathroom toiletries provided in the tents, in a guest services list. No formulation, ingredient list or certification is published.
In their words: “Bamford bathroom toiletries and a bar soap menu.”
The architect publishes teak as the floor timber in every tent, made by hand in Central Java. No finish, sealant, adhesive or emission standard is published for it.
In their words: “The teak floors in each tent were handmade in Central Java, and will last decades and decades.”
The property publishes that every one-bedroom tent has a copper bathtub and indoor and outdoor showers. No supplier, lining, coating or finish is named for the bathtub.
In their words: “One-Bedroom Keliki Tents feature heated private pools offering valley views, outdoor decks featuring daybeds, a copper bathtub, and both indoor and outdoor showers, along with curated guest amenities.”
Food and Kitchen

The same announcement names the cooking method used at Api Jiwa and its fuel: Warayaki, a Japanese straw grilling technique, fired with surplus rice straw collected from the surrounding paddy fields. The method covers one of the camp's restaurants rather than the whole kitchen operation.
In their words: “The chefs collect surplus rice straws from the surrounding paddy fields, using this key material as the centrepiece of Warayaki, a traditional Japanese straw-grilling technique dating back to the 17th century.”

Biophilic and Healing Design
The architect publishes the method used to position every tent on the site: full size bamboo mockups were built on site to set each tent against the existing trees and views before construction.
In their words: “This was facilitated with on-site bamboo mockups of each tent, to ensure the existing environment was preserved – and to find the best jungle views.”
The architect publishes the siting intent for the camp, that the brief was reduced in scale so that no tree was cut during construction. No survey, arborist or tree schedule is named.
In their words: “The project was scaled down to and the priority became to keep every tree: not a single one was cut down during construction.”
A first look report published in November 2018 describes the tents as built around palm and banyan trees and in some cases incorporating them. The four hectare site area in the same sentence is a land measurement and is not scored.
In their words: “Spreading out across four hectares, no trees were harmed, instead, the tents were constructed around palm and banyan trees, and sometimes incorporate them.”

The property publishes that each one-bedroom tent has direct outdoor access through a private deck and pool with a forest or valley outlook. No ceiling height, volume or planting palette is published.
In their words: “One-Bedroom Forest Tents feature plunge pools with lush panoramas, outdoor decks with daybeds, a copper bathtub, indoor and outdoor showers, and curated guest amenities.”
Sound and Sensory Ecology
The property publishes that guests sleep inside canvas walls through which outside sound is audible. No background noise level, acoustic separation figure or wall specification accompanies it.
In their words: “As a guest of Capella Ubud, Bali, your experience includes sleeping inside canvas walls which allow you to hear the sounds of nature from dusk till dawn.”
A review published in August 2025 reports that the tent canvas gives no insulation and that neighbours and rain are audible inside the tent. It is an account of a stay, with no measurement and no acoustic specification.
In their words: “The tent canvas is thin, offering no real insulation.”

Compare what each stay offers, how it was checked and what still needs confirming. Assessment labels describe the review, not an overall quality rating.
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
A score describes proof: what a stay publishes and, on a Human Garage certified stay, what our assessor checked in person. It is not a quality rating of the property. Listings are free, and any commercial relationship is disclosed.
