The River Island Bali

Beautiful property

Loved our stay!!! It was our honeymoon and they made it extra special. Jro is an amazing human and a supermom who really took care of us. I only have good words and good wishes for her.

Please, treat yourself and stay in one of the villas - I spent almost a month in Indonesia and it's the best sleep I had! The bed is so comfy, the space was super clean and I felt super safe knowing there were no bugs in the room with us. The room was very spacious and the outdoor bathroom is also super nice. Although the decor is clean and modern, it still is a typical balinese hotel which I love!

Breakfast was DELICIOUS - best scrambled eggs we had!! we still talk about them! Also you could choose to have the breakfast in your patio or in the restaurant. Luckily for us, from both places your could see and hear the river which was so beautiful and relaxing. 10/10 experience.

Location is super. The hotel is between two rivers and surrounded by nature. The staff was very helpful and they even carried our bags from the reception to the villa, since the path to get there was a bit bumpy. Please, bare in mind that you will need a car for almost everything. I would 100% recommend to hire a private driver for your stay and visit the many waterfalls nearby, Sidemen city, the activity parks (with rafting and other activities!) etc.

The property is stunning and expansive, with multiple acres to explore and a peaceful, remote feel.

Jro (the owner) and her family are incredibly warm and hospitable, t
he food was homemade and delicious.

The experience felt personal and memorable—one rainy night turned into a fun karaoke evening with Jro’s husband and other guests, which we’ll never forget.

Het verblijf was fantastisch! Het personeel en de eigenaresse zorgen ervoor dat je je direct thuis voelt. Ze staan de hele dag voor je klaar en doen er alles aan om je verblijf onvergetelijk te maken. Het huisje ademt een warme, gezellige sfeer en de ligging in de prachtige omgeving maakt het helemaal compleet.

Personnel et gérante exceptionnels, sourires permanents, disponibilités, chaleureux. On se sent comme en famille
Salle de bain très agréable
Décoration recherchée

Super hébergement à Sidemen.
Le personnel est adorable. On sent vraiment qu’ils veulent bien faire et sont vraiment aux petits soins.
Location scooter directement avec eux. Très bien entretenu.
Le cadre est magnifique.
Petit déjeuner très bon.

This is place has the best rooms we have stayed in in Indonesia and maybe anywhere. They are such beautiful bungalows, with all modern conveniences, but so tastefully decorated with the charm of Balinese culture. The riverside setting is wonderful, and there are rice terrace hill views and the volcano to admire. Classic Bali. We were there for four days and two of those were heavy rain, we couldn't have been in a better place for rainy days. Between the room, the porch and the restaurant we didn't want to be anywhere else. The food is excellent and very reasonable! Order by whatsapp and have it delivered to your room or the restaurant area. Help yourself to beer and wine and just tell the owners what you had on the whatsapp. The owners welcome you like family and you feel you are treated like visiting friends. The breakfast is also outstanding, i can't remember having a better omelette. If you are looking for a place to relax in a lovely setting in great comfort, this is a very good option.

Wir haben wundervolle Tage im River Island Bali verbracht. Das Zimmer war sauber, geräumig und liebevoll eingerichtet. Jero, ihr Mann und ihre lieben Kinder sowie das gesamte Personal waren extrem freundlich und wir konnten uns jederzeit melden, falls wir etwas benötigten. Die Anlage ist einfach traumhaft schön mitten in der Natur und am Fluss gelegen. Grab funktioniert auch problemlos. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben. Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Zeit bei euch!❤️

When we travel, we search for more than just a place to sleep, we look for experiences that leave a mark on our hearts. Our stay here was one of those rare moments that turn a trip into a memory you’ll treasure. From the very first moment, we felt more than welcomed; we felt embraced, as if we were visiting friends rather than booking a stay. The staff would do anything to make your stay better.

At the heart of this experience is Jero. Her kindness, her generosity, and her immense heart remind you why people make a journey unforgettable. She is one of those rare souls who cross your path when you travel far from home, and who make the distance feel closer, warmer.

And then, there is the setting itself, a small slice of natural paradise. The flutter of butterflies, the soft presence of lizards, the music of the river flowing nearby. For some, these are details; for us, they were the very essence of why we came to Bali: to connect with nature in its purest, most authentic form.

If what you seek is not just comfort, but authenticity, not just accommodation, but an experience that lingers, then this is where you will find it.

Logement atypique avec personnel très sympathique et efficace, endroit très jolie ! Bon rapport qualité / prix

The location is beautiful, the breakfast was good, the staff is very polite.

Tout
La gentillesse, la bienveillance, l’accueil, la chambre, l’ambiance zen dans la jungle
Super petit déjeuner 🥞
Merci à toute l’équipe près à répondre à toutes demandes. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter

Le calme et le cadre. Bungalows cosy et propres, assez éloignés les uns des autres. Néanmoins les commentaires élogieux lus avant d’y séjourner sont dans l’ensemble un peu trompeurs. Une randonnée autour de Sidemen au départ de l’hôtel est possible.

Heel aardig personeel, goede service, de mogelijkheid om een scooter te huren op locatie is heel handig, het ontbijt was heerlijk

Le camere sono delle perle, il tocco di classe è il bagno all'aperto.
Posto,adatto a chi vuole vivere a contatto con la natura. Letto comodo, colazione abbondante sul patio perfetta.

Le personnel était très accueillant et le cadre incroyablement beau ! Un petit havre de paix.
Je recommande vivement.

The property is in a beautiful location surrounded by nature. It felt very private and luxury. The restaurant was delicious, the room was clean and comfortable, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive. There was everything we needed for a perfect few days away from the crowds to relax.

It was a wonderful stay next to a beautiful river. The cottages were spotless, and the staff was very friendly and helpful as quickly as possible. Highly recommended!
