Splendide. Si vous aimez le calme, je recommande.
Pros:

Le bungalow magnifique. La salle de bain offre une expérience unique! Un vrai paradis 🥰
Literie très confortable. Cadre superbe! Restaurant/ piscine. Très calme et reposant Personnel très gentil.

Cons:

Le petit plus aurait été de changer les serviettes de bain une fois et éventuellement la literie sur 4 nuits

Would definitely recommend staying here! We are already planning a trip back :)
Pros:

This place was amazing...right on the river. We woke up to the best views! Jero was over the top with her hospitality and we could not be more grateful. We arrived late and she still accommodated our hungry kids at the restaurant. The rooms were decorated so cute, and the beds were so comfortable!

Pros:

Lovely villa in a stunning location on the river among the paddy fields. We loved the outdoor bathroom, the pool, taking a dip.in the river, our firepit and relaxing in our bath overlooking the river. A delicious breakfast that we liked served on our patio. The owners and staff were very friendly. The honesty bar by the pool was handy. Plenty of parking for our hire car - the road to the property was fine.

Cons:

We liked everything

Très bien !
Pros:

Des petites maisons élégantes au milieu d’un immense parc au bord de la rivière. Le cadre est très agréable, tout est propre et confortable.
Le personnel est comme toujours très prévenant et sympathique.
Un peu à l’écart de Sidemen, ce qui garantit le calme du lieu et son charme, mais avec un scooter, on accède rapidement à tous les points d’intérêt sans difficulté. Quelques restaurants à distance de marche pour le soir.

Pros:

Bereits am Eingang der Unterkunft, nachdem man den Schotterweg überwunden hat, sprüht man die ruhige, positive und familiäre Energie. Die zahlreichen hinduistischen Details zum Weg des Häuschens sind ein Highlight für sich. Das Zimmer/ Haus ist unglaublich stilvoll, aber zugleich nicht überfrachtet gestaltet. Das offene Bad mit dem Steinboden ist eine weitere einzigartige Ergänzung. Zudem ist der Blick von den Sonnenliegen und Pool wunderschön und es liegen frisches Obst und Snacks aus.
Neben dem Surrounding war auf jeden Fall Jero unser größtes Highlight. Du brauchst etwas? Jero besorgt es dir! So haben wir abends nach einem Roller gefragt und schon stand morgens ein Roller vor unserer Tür mit Schlüsseln drin. Sie war so auf Zack und hatte diese tolle Anlage im Griff, dass wir sie liebevoll big mama genannt haben. Sie hat unser Herz gewonnen und war uns der liebste Mensch in Sidemen.

Cons:

Nichts

More than a hotel, it felt like home in paradise !
Pros:

The River Island Sidemen was without a doubt the most beautiful place we stayed during our trip. It felt like much more than just a hotel, it genuinely felt like our own home in paradise.

Everything was beautiful. Our room was amazing, and having our own little garden right next to the river made the experience incredibly peaceful and special. The whole property has such a private and relaxed atmosphere that we could freely walk around and enjoy everything almost as if the place belonged to us.

We originally planned to spend our time exploring Sidemen, but we loved the beauty, peace and atmosphere of our room so much that we decided to simply stay and enjoy it. My only regret is that I didn't book a longer stay.
The staff were incredibly kind and available 24/7. Whenever we needed something or order food, we simply sent a WhatsApp message and it was taken care of or brought directly to our room.

The River Island Sidemen is a place I can wholeheartedly recommend. A special thank you to Jero Virona for her wonderful hospitality and for making our stay even more memorable.

Pros:

Beautiful spot on the river. Lovely room and private outdoor space.

Cons:

Resort style layout without the service. Self service for drinks just beers and soft drinks. More suited to sideman vibes was just a little surprised how everything was a bit more expensive in sideman in general. Smaller breakfast than in our resort in ubud.

Une parenthèse de calme et de sérénité dans la verdure
Pros:

Jero possède un domaine avec des petites villas absolument magnifiques.
Son personnel est au top, le petit déjeuner est très bon et bien fournis.
Les chambres sont propres, calmes et avec tout le nécessaire.
Possibilité de louer un scooter sur place comme de se faire masser directement à votre villa si l’envie vous en prend !

À recommander sans hésiter.

Cons:

Les rideaux de la chambre qui pourraient être plus occultant.

Loved our stay!
Pros:

Our 'superior villa' was very special, and the outlook was very gorgeous with the river and a small waterfall. The pool area also had a wonderful outlook along the river to the mountains. Jero and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the meals on our patio. A delightful getaway to end our trip.
