Guesthouses in Sidemen

"This is a little gem. The most perfect location to be in the local environment overlooking the rice fields and the subset of volcano is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful and put on lovey entertainment in the evening. The pool is stunning. There is no AC but if you have a top floor room the foors can be left open at night not to mention the view you have when you wake up. The rooms are beautiful and huge with flowers in the room and water. Only recommendation is more sun beds available when it is busy. Also our water ran out a bit quick at shower time but not sure if this was just our room but we didn’t have excessive length showers. Highly recommended overal. We will return "

"It was even better then the photographs, loved our stay at Arta Nadi! We stayed in 2 villas for 3 nights, & would recommend people do stay longer in Sidemen than one night. Such a glorious place. I went on a cycle tour with Agung (who also is a very talented silversmith who has a shop in town). He also took us to Klungkung to visit the markets & then to Amed when we left, with a few stops at the water palace, White Sands Beach. There were not a lot of tourists in Sidemen, which suited us. The temperature was a cool relief from the heat of the coast, & were blessed with little rain & clear skies to see Mt Agung. Well recommend visiting this amazing place & loved our stay at Arta Nadi. The pool is so incredible, you have to see it to believe it!!"

"A gem in Sidemen. We stayed for a night and we love it! The room is very clean, view is stunning, staffs are amazing, very helpful and always smile all the time. There are few things need improvement i.e wifi and the foods, but overall we're so very happy to stay and def will come back again. Indra & Ary."

"Lovely place to relax and recharge, especially after a hiking trip to Mt. Agung. Falling asleep to the sound of the river water was a bonus. The room was fan-cooled, which was enough to help us feel comfortable during the hot day (with the option to dip in the pool if we felt a bit too warm) and at night it even felt chilly. The young staff are very friendly and attentive. For those driving to the guesthouse: The bridge that takes you over the river from Sidemen area to the guesthouse collapsed recently, and it will be sometime before any repair is made. Therefore, to reach the guesthouse, one needs to go past Sidemen, past Muncan to Sanggem, and approach the guesthouse from the north. Using Google Map and just old-fashioned asking the locals helped us find the way. Despite this minor inconvenience, we would definitely consider returning to this quiet spot in Bali on our next visit."

"We stayed only one night. Room is large and confortable with a clean bathroom outdoor. From it, one can see Agung volcano and the beautiful landscape of sidemen. Only slight detail: there is no AC in the room. Apart from that we had a good time here."

"We enjoyed our stay at Kubu Alas. It was lovely and peaceful having a whole little villa and garden to yourself. The room was very clean, and bed linen spotless. The girls running it were very lovely and helpful, cooking a delicious rice noodle and vegetable dish for our dinner (like mie goreng...highly reccommend). The shower wasn't great and was mostly cold, but that wasn't too bad. Was good to be able to rent a scooter straight off the hosts so we could explore into sideman and the surrounding scenery. The whole area is quite damp with a lot of moisture in the air, and cooler than further south places of Bali we had previously beed. Overall would highly reccommend staying here for a nice clean, comfy and peaceful place to stay."

"I'm not easily impressed. You have high expectations, arrive and are mostly always negatively surprised. Not here. Surya Shanti is a beautifull resort with huge rooms, amazing views, beautifull sitting areas and friendly staff and owners. Upon arrival you get a free foot masage. Food in the restaurant is good and not to expansive. Overall the best place we have ever been. And I mean EVER !!! Would love to live in that hidden paradise."

"It was a peaceful few days. As it is a retreat centre as well as a guesthouse, one suggestion would be to have tea/coffee-making facilities in each room."
