Positive points: Quiet, peaceful, relaxing and beautiful property run by the nicest family! The owner was so helpful and made sure we had everything we needed (where to find an atm, scooters to rent on site, restaurant recommendations, breakfast orders,m) and we were even served coffee upon arrival! 10/10 recommend this beautiful home stay

10.0 Incredibly peaceful place to arrive in sidemen and explore this gorgeous valley. - Hendricksen 29-06-2024

9.0 Excellent - Michele 12-06-2024

Positive points: The Bali atmosphere, the details of the place, the garden, the quietness, the kindness of the staff, the size of the room, the breakfast.

Negative points: The shower was working pretty bad the days I stayed, the location is not the best but it's authentic down to a small street, the restaurant they suggest was a little bit too pricey for what you get

10.0 Comfortable, beautifully-kept pondok with a well-maintained garden, cozy budget room, great staff and sweetest animals. - Isabelle 01-06-2024

Positive points: Pondok Indah is a cozy and affordable stay. The owner takes good care of the property and makes sure his guests are in good hands. Him and family have done a great job with the gardens and they also have very cute animals. We stayed for 4 nights, and if we needed a long term stay this would be the perfect place to call home for a bit. It’s well maintained, beautiful and unpretentious.

Negative points: Only issue we had was with the sink. It had a leak but the owner said he would fix immediately. Everything else was perfect

4.0 Thought it would be better - Maya 14-10-2024

Review: We thought a home stay would be fun however we hardly saw the host and felt like we were just staying in their garden. The rooms are outdated but have everything you need in them. The bathroom is old and the water doesn’t run very strong. Lots of animals around which were noisy and we were chased by “friendly” dogs up the dark side path. We also unfortunately felt a bit uncomfortable when we spoke to the host about the cost of a taxi to a waterfall (didn’t book it) and he got us a driver for double the amount of a normal taxi and said we couldn’t cancel even though we never confirmed it with him… so this wasn’t the best service but we learn!

10.0 Exceptional - Alexandre 28-10-2023

Positive points: Everything is clean and smells good, and the place is really peaceful, the location is great with a little « warung » just down the street. The owner is really kind, interested and makes lovely breakfast. I recommend at 100%!

10.0 Great stay - Ilse-Marie 16-09-2024

9.0 Excellent - Constance 04-10-2023

Positive points: The perfect little place to enjoy Sideman. Rooms are basic but comfortable and clean and the little garden is beautiful in quiet surroundings. Breakfast is basic but delicious. Plenty of good restaurants in walking distance which is great. The family are just wonderful, so welcoming and friendly and you feel like family when you stay there.

10.0 Loved the stay, very helpful guy - Zubair 26-07-2024

Review: For anyone in Bali, you all should take a bike ride to Sidemen and stay with this very welcoming hosts and go to virgin beach for picnic and than trek to Mt Batur from that place. Highly recommended

10.0 Charming - Tarndeep 13-09-2023

Review: Excellent host in Yoko. Very knowledgeable of the area and will even take you around if you want. Nice room with beautiful washroom. Breakfast available for free. Great look into Rural Bali.

10.0 Best Housestay in Munduk - Tiago 29-11-2019

Review: Beautiful house located far from all the noise from the streets of Munduk. The owner was the best person I met on this trip giving tips to all everywhere. The bike rental is cheap too.nBeautiful room for 2 with a huge bathroom and a typical balinese courtyard at the entrance.nThe only issue I had were the dogs barking nonstop at 4-5 am. Would definitely come back again.
