The most beautiful cooking class! We felt welcomed like we were family.
Thursday market tour cooking class was the best! We were so grateful that Casa Luna ran the class for just the two of us. We loved learning from the Casa Luna team, the atmosphere, the banter and the food, 10/10!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for joining our class. And we’re lucky you came along. My team loves having fun and you were the perfect guests 🙏🏼 Janet

Not to be missed !
This cooking class is the most homey, authentic experience I have had during my stay in Bali. Even though I ended up being the only client signing up for the tour, the whole team made sure to provide first grade service and experience. I got ample time to ask any and all questions about Balinese culture and benefited from great cooking tip. In addition, the open air cooking space is gorgeous and the food unbeatable ! Definetly recommend :)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted you experienced the warmth and authenticity of our Balinese cooking class in Ubud, and that our team took such good care of you even as a solo guest. That personal attention is something we’re very proud of at Casa Luna. We hope the recipes and cooking tips travel all the way back to Montreal with you and that we’ll see you again on your next visit to Bali!

Culinary experience to test
Group of 11 people . It started with explanations about each ingredient we would cook (explanations too long for my taste). For lunch based on fish. We cut vegetables , put ingredients in banana leaves, pile vegetables . I think it’s a shame I didn’t cook more. The chef assisted by 2 people did most of the meal and even all the dessert. With all the ingredients chosen for this recipe and the utensils it seems difficult to reproduce at home (unless you are really well equipped! And find them) It remains a friendly moment and sharing. Course in English Ok for teenagers.
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup Cécile pour votre retour détaillé ! Nous sommes ravis que votre groupe de 11 personnes ait passé un moment convivial. Nous prenons note de vos commentaires sur la durée des explications et la participation en cuisine — c’est exactement le type de retour qui nous aide à améliorer notre cours de cuisine balinaise à Ubud. Pour les recettes, nous faisons de notre mieux pour suggérer des substitutions d’ingrédients accessibles à l’étranger. Nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau à Casa Luna !

Ubud cooking sensation
Very well run cooking class. The early morning market visit was great and then to see the dishes come together was fantastic. Great to have breakfast and dessert included. Setting at Casa Luna is beautiful.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this lovely review! We’re so glad the early morning market visit set the tone for the day — watching those fresh ingredients transform into beautiful Balinese dishes is always such a special moment. We’re proud of our setting at Casa Luna and delighted it added to your experience. Hope to see you again on your next trip to Ubud!

Great experience! Felt very authentic!
I did the cooking class combined with a market visit! This was a great opportunity to learn about Balinese culture. Cooking class was brilliant and the food we cooked was really tasty. Would definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Vielen Dank - and thank you for joining us for our Balinese cooking class and market tour in Ubud! We love that combination as it gives guests a real sense of how ingredients go from market to plate in traditional Balinese cooking. So glad the food hit the spot - we hope to welcome you back to Casa Luna on your next visit to Bali!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.
How much does Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud cost?
+
Prices start at $34 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 Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud?
+
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 Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Secrets of Bali : Casa Luna Cooking School, Ubud 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 Tour. 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.
