Truly authentic Balinese experience!
Kadek and Sangayu’s cooking class was our favorite activity in Bali. Upon arrival we were surprised to find that we are actually cooking in their family home, where their entire family and extended families reside. We were offered tea and some homemade snacks, then began the cooking process in their outdoor kitchen. Pretty much every ingredient used was home grown, there were even some that I’ve never seen before which are native to Bali. They taught us not just cooking but a lot about their culture, and how they would make hundreds of portions of these dishes during special occasions for the whole village. In the end we all ate together like they do with their families. After cooking Kadek gave us a house tour, it was interesting because there’s an actual temple in the house. He gave insight about their religion and customs which were unique to the Balinese culture. Afterwards we toured the garden where the produce are grown, and got to see their chickens and pigs, Kadek even picked a passion fruit from their garden for us as dessert. This was truly the most authentic Airbnb experience I’ve ever done. It’s more like experiencing a half day in Kadek and Sangayu’s life, you can feel their connection to their family, village, and culture. Not to mention they’re also great hosts and Kadek took some great pics for us. It’s a bit far but this is a must do and I would highly recommend it, we can’t wait to come back and explore the village and surrounding areas more!

Best Balinese experience
Wow!! Hands down one of the best local experiences that Kadek & Sangayu gave us, an absolute up close and personal experience. It was more than we had expected. It was a wonderful inside out story telling journey that takes you inside the culture, from the flavor of every single spice that our taste buds savored, to experiencing one an one offering ritual making and their wonderful ancestral history, which brings you closer understanding of the beautiful Balinese culture.

Great private cooking class experience with delicious food
We wanted to experience learning how to cook Balinese style cuisine, and this private class was spot on! Most classes we found were group classes, but private classes like this one really lets you have more hands on experience while getting to know the host’s family and traditions. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to Kadek’s family compound in a small village. All the ingredients are fresh and the menu was well thought out. Would definitely recommend to try this experience out.

Amazing Cooking Experience In BALI
“This workshop was so much fun! Kadek picked me up from my guesthouse in Ubud and his place was about a 30 minute ride north. It’s a beautiful little village away from the craziness of Ubud. The workshop takes place in his family home, and there was a real family feel with his son and mum helping out too. It was fascinating to go through the process of pressing coconut oil, and Kadek took great care to explain about all aspects of Balinese culture. I also got a little tour round the village and saw the woodcarvers and silversmith. It was just me on this occasion so it didn’t take as long to boil up the oil as if there had been a number together, and so on the way back Kadek took me to see the rice terraces and taste Luwak coffee as well! I would really recommend booking this experience if you want a taste of the real Bali,

Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.
Is Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Be a real Balinese with Traditional Balinese Cooking Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ubud?
+
On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ubud?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ubud?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
