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.

A hidden gem, we can’t wait to return, for longer!
Pros:

The location and serenity of this place is unmatched! It is even better than I could have hoped for. It is modern and stylish yet maintains that Balinese charm. The staff are so helpful and accommodating. Great to cool off in the river, the pool or the outdoor shower. the grounds to the whole property are stunning, truely a one of a kind stay! We can’t wait to be back. The breakfast is also amazing, the best o letter I’ve ever had in Bali, yum!

Cons:

Nothing! Wish we had stayed longer.

Pros:

Impresionante la ubicación, las instalaciones y sobre todo la piscina.
Mención especial al personal. Nos marchabamos al día siguiente a las 5 de la mañana, con lo que nos perdíamos el desayuno, y se ofrecieron a traérnoslo igualmente a esa hora. Un 10 por eso.

Cons:

La única pega que a nosotros no nos termina de convencer son los baños al aire libre. Justo esa noche nos llovío y nos duchamos bajo la lluvia. Si es cierto que no hace frío pero no nos termina de gustar, porque siempre hai más bicheria. Aunque ser es precioso el baño.

Pros:

La piscine, le cadre, la réactivité du personnel, le service.

Cons:

Ballon eau chaude insuffisant pour la baignoire. La nourriture décevante. Invasion de fourmis volantes mortes en fin d après midi. Heureusement le personnel très réactif a refait le ménage et changé les draps rapidement.
