Amazing views. A wonderful place to stay for 5 days.
Pros:

I like to support Indonesian owned and operated hotels/ villas in Indonesia. This is one. You can see that the family lives on the property and that is refreshing. The property is HUGE- the largest I have ever seen in Bali. And the view from the dining area and pool is unmatched for natural beauty. I spent hours just staring at the river and hills and jungle in the background. There are better views from this place than from any of the tourist attractions in the area. The little bungalow I had was super cute and looked very Indonesian.

The restaurant in the property next door, Kubu Sakian, is REALLY good and within a 5 minute walk.

You can use Grab to get around locally.

Cons:

There are some little things that are a not quite up to standard. One was that the sink in the bathroom smelled like sulfur every time I turned it on. I preferred to use the water from the shower. And there is a rock to stand on when you are showering in the outdoor shower that is wobbly. It might not be the best for someone who doesn’t have good balance. The other thing was the food. They bring food in from a restaurant close by and it was not good at all.

Increíble experiencia
Pros:

Todo, su tranquilidad, la limpieza sobretodo, la ubicación y el cuarto de baño muy original. Es una carga de paz y espiritualidad. El personal súper súper amable . Merece mucho la pena y volveríamos a repetir. Teníamos reservado una noche y finalmente decidimos dos . La chica nos facilitó una moto para poder movernos por aquí, la habitación tenía repelente de mosquitos y todo para que la estancia fuera lo más cómoda posible y de verdad destacar la limpieza.

Cons:

Me gustó todo pero si les tendría que decir algo para que mejoraran sería el desayuno que quizás es un poco pobre para los otros que nos hemos encontrado en nuestra estancia en Bali. Pero por lo demás de 10 . Repetiríamos sin duda

Fantastisch mooie plek, met super lieve mensen! Bedankt!
Pros:

Geweldige idyllische plek! Fijne ruime en schone huisjes, heerlijk zwembad met een prachtig uitzicht en een fijne plek om te eten. Het personeel is super lief en behulpzaam! Ik raad iedereen die naar Sidemen gaat, om hierheen te gaan. Laat je niet afschrikken over de weg, want dat is echt maar 300 meter onverhard ofzo.

Aanrader, fijne plek in sidemen, tussen de rijstvelden
Pros:

Erg mooie huisjes in sjieke Ibiza stijl, schoon, nieuw, mooi. Prachtige plek zo aan de rivier. Dichtbij mooie restaurants zoals Koli Koli, maar ook kleine fijne warungs. Een tip is om te gaan raften op de telaga rivier, als je dat boekt vanuit Ubud en je bagage meeneemt, eindig je in Sidemen.

Aardige mensen, lekker ontbijt, enz.

Cons:

Andere tip is dat het licht van de airco uit kan, daarmee wordt het weer donker in de kamer als je slaapt

Pros:

Wunderschöne Anlage und Zimmer. Liebevolle Einrichtung und Gastfreundschaft. Wir konnten uns jederzeit mit einer Bestellung oder einem Anliegen per WhatsApp melden. Roller und Massage wurden für uns organisiert. Die Lage direkt am Fluss ist einzigartig.

Cons:

Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist noch nicht richtig erschlossen.

Ein ruhiger Aufenthalt in tollen Bungalows mitten in der Natur unweit von den Reisterrassen und dem Kuli Kuli entfernt.
Pros:

Die riesige Anlage, mitten in der Natur, direkt neben dem Fluss ermöglicht einen sehr ruhigen und privaten Aufenthalt. Das Frühstück ist mühevoll gestaltet und gut. Die Bungalows sind besonders geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sauber und top ausgestattet.

Cons:

Leider war der Pool zu unserer Zeit nicht nutzbar und das letzte Stück der Straße, um zum Hotel zu kommen ist sehr „local“ (nicht Roller Anfängerfreundlich)
