Natya River Sidemen

Natya River Sidemen is truly a slice of paradise, this has been my favourite stay in over 20 countries with 100s of stays, including all over SEA. It has a very unique charm! Location: surrounded by untouched nature right at your doorstep, the river runs right by you, you get such a beautiful view of the stars, the rice fields are all around the property. So incredible! There are so many different places set up to eat and relax, including a dining table inside the river if you want. Wow, just WOW. The whole place is designed in harmony with nature and you can feel it in the aura. Service: some of the best I have ever received anywhere. I had a very late flight with unexpected delays, ended up arriving at 2am (much later than I planned), Mr. Gusde drove all the way from his home to the hotel in the pouring rain to help me check in, and carried my very heavy suitcase in the rain about 700m to my room. So incredibly kind and hospitable. Additionally, all of the staff is so welcoming and attentive, you truly feel their warmth and kindness which helps elevate your stay. Food: very reasonable priced and delicious. Room: very spacious given that its glamping and very clean, exactly what you expect at a nature focused stay. I highly recommend this stay! If you are iffy, look no further and just book! It is such a serene stay with incredible views, so clean for an outdoorsy stay, beautiful pool, rice fields, you will leave feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Second stay qt Natya. Never disappoints. Beautiful riverside lodge in sideman valley.

Arriving to the temporary Woodstock like campsite of the previous night’s party on the front lawn of the property was a bit of a shock. Didn’t quite match the vibe of the place….

This is my favourite hotel I’ve ever stayed in. A little jungle retreat in the best of Bali nature. Beautiful, serene, calm, peaceful- it was so relaxing listening to the beautiful river. The staff were amazingly friendly, food great, pool area lovely, room cosy. AC and wifi worked perfectly. If you want to switch off and chill out in authentic Bali (away from tourists), book book book!

Nothing!

Beautiful location, scenery, views and environment were lovely. Best shower and ample seating space so guests aren’t on top of each other. Food was excellent, breakfast portions very small.

DO NOT Book deluxe room on the river UNLESS you bring earplugs. The noise from the rapids was excessive, it wasn’t a peaceful river stream. Communicating was near impossible over the noise and sleep was also near impossible. Beautiful to sit and enjoy during the day. Really not suitable for children it is on a cliff edge. Staff weren’t very attentive
