Enjoyed the warmth and hospitality of the owners. Found the staff very responsive to needs.

Nothing comes to mind. It was what was advertised and more.

We had a lovely stay here. Putu and his wife were incredibly welcoming, and the whole family made us feel right at home. Their genuine hospitality and friendliness was just lovely. Breakfast was simple but tasty every morning. The homestay is tucked away in a little mountain village, away from the busy tourist areas. Putu can also help organise local transport if needed. (Gde was a great driver and a great guy.) The bamboo house was a really special place to stay, with a cosy atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. If you’re looking for a more authentic Bali experience, this is your spot!

The only minor downside for us was that the mattress was on the softer side and the humid mountain climate can also make things feel slightly damp. As with many village stays in Bali, roosters and the early morning prayer are part of the soundtrack, so earplugs are worth bringing if you’re a light sleeper.

I had a large ground floor room with verandah and bathroom. Hosts were very kind and cooked for me- I discovered there was nowhere I could get to without transport- and also arranged a driver/guide who took me to a number of sights on my wish list.

There was a strong smell to the room which they insisted was because it had been cleaned but I was convinced it was damp- had to have all my clothes laundered at next stop due to smell affecting all my belongings. Too secluded- my fault for not researching sufficiently. All the photos focus on Bamboo Hut which is what I thought I had booked - not the hosts fault.
