The builder of the farm's kitchen and dining building describes skylights cut through the pelupuh roofing to admit daylight. It is a daylighting device in a building guests eat in rather than a lighting specification in a sleeping space.
Smaller skylights are created from cutouts through the pelupuh roofing to allow sunshine to filter into the spaces below.

The builder publishes the material palette of the farm's kitchen and dining building as a designed contrast: stone and lime finishes at eye level against flattened bamboo, named as Pelupuh, above. It names the materials and states the intended contrast in what a person in the room experiences, with no planting palette, outlook or volume published.
By featuring stone and lime finishes at eye level, people experience the cool nature of the stone and earthwork. This contrasts with the warmth of the bamboo above, made from blonde flattened bamboo, known as Pelupuh in Indonesia.

What is not publishedthe gaps we looked for and did not find
Air Ecology, Water Integrity, EMF Harmony and Sound and Sensory Ecology have nothing published that this index can score. On air, no filter grade, ventilation rate, carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound reading and no mould protocol is published. The property's experiences page describes a cooking class moving from the garden to an open kitchen, and a third party travel guide lists a fireplace among the farm's features; neither is treated as air evidence here. On water, an outdoor, semi outdoor or indoor shower is listed for each cabin, but no source, treatment train, filtration specification or laboratory panel is published, and the reverse osmosis supply published by the neighbouring Green School describes that school's own system rather than this farm's. On light, one cabin is described as light filled, and the builder of the restaurant describes skylights cut through the pelupuh roofing to admit daylight. Both are daylighting descriptions rather than lighting specifications, and no colour temperature, flicker performance, blackout provision or glazing detail is published. On EMF, nothing is published about wired or wireless topology, cabling, access point placement relative to beds, or field levels in sleeping areas; booking platforms list free wireless internet, which is listing data and is not a disclosure in either direction. On sound, the only related language is one cabin described as a quiet, private haven, which carries no background noise level, no acoustic separation specification and no plant noise figure. Bamboo U publishes a borax and boric acid treatment method for bamboo, but does so as general instruction rather than as a description of the structures at this farm, so it is not counted as evidence about these buildings.
Regional context2 public figures about the area, none of which scores
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, Indonesia: 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. Source
- Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Sibang Kaja, Abiansemal, Badung, Bali, Indonesia: 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. Source
Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
