Review: Good n clean
Positive points: Zero respect for foreigners.
Review: Good homestay
Positive points: Love the view from our terrace
Negative points: Quite good for this value
Review: Located right at the entrance of the path that takes you to Sekumpul waterfall. If you stay here, they will provide you with a lanyard that identifies you to qualify for cheaper pricing structure of the entrance ticket to the waterfall, at IDR30,000 instead of IDR150,000 for daytrippers. As for the waterfall itself, it is out of this world!
Positive points: Very unique place. Hard to get due to bad roads but very beautiful area and waterfalls
Negative points: The road getting there
Review: Nice small shop where you can find for affordable prices, compare to big cities, family-made cacao, vanilla, coffee, spices and so much more.nThey also provided a driver to bring us till Mt Batur.
Positive points: Our family of 4 stayed for 1 night in 2 Double rooms with a balcony. The balcony is huge with incredible views and very private. The balconies had a connecting door which allowed our family to access either room without going out the front door. We loved watching the sunset from it and looking at all the stars. Sugi is super friendly, as is the entire staff. We were picked up from the airport by Sugi’s driver who patiently waited for over an hour for us to go through immigration and customs and get our luggage. He was also a very good driver! The drive took around 4 hours due to traffic but also included a stop at a mini-market to pick up some water and snacks. Sugi’s wife is an incredible cook and made the most delicious meals for us (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). The free breakfast includes some yummy fruit juices. Meals are served in an open dining space with the same incredible views as from our balconies. It was very pleasant with a good breeze at night. Sugi gives his guests free tourist lanyards that allowed us to only pay 30,000 IDR per person for Sekumpul Waterfall, plus an extra 20,000 IDR for the 4 Fiji waterfalls. Fiji was even prettier than Sekumpul so don’t miss it! Sugi is also a tour guide for the waterfalls but we did them by ourselves. The road to the Sekumpul entrance is an easy 15 minute walk downhill from the homestay so it’s incredibly convenient and allowed us to have the waterfall all to ourselves since we could be there so early (9:30). The room itself is not very large but the beds have mosquito netting which was nice. There was no A/C but a large standing fan kept the room cool enough and also masked any noise from wildlife.
Negative points: It would have been nice to have a table or luggage rack to put our suitcases on to make it easier to access our stuff in them. There is also no countertop in the bathroom to set our toiletries out on. These were minor inconveniences though that were greatly outweighed by the friendly and amazing staff, food, and views.
Positive points: kind staff and great location!

Review: Not much to say, everything about this place was great.nBeautiful location and view. The bathroom with a floor to ceiling window showing the mountain is a nice touch.nBe aware that the location is remote, and that the internet isn't so good, whether this matters enough is up to you.
Positive points: Super clean room, perfect location, Sugi and his family are super friendly and welcoming
Review: Sugi was a wonderful host. He was always ready to help. This is the best choice for you to explore Sekumpul and surrounding waterfalls.
Positive points: I like that it is near to the target tourist spots the we're going to plus the staffs and owner is very accomodating and helpful.
Negative points: I just didn't like that there are too much noise outside from the crying children and people living there.
Review: Great little home stay staff beautiful great location to waterfall
Positive points: -Amazing room: big, confortable, with views to the valley and forests.rn-Location: Right next to the 3 waterfalls to be visited in the area, whose entrance can be reached in a 5 min walk.rn-Has a restaurant attached to it.rn-Dede (the owner) offers the opportunity to visit the waterfalls without guide (and the hefty fees that would come with) by lending you visitor badges that you can use to pay local price and visit them on your own - believe me, just because of this it is worth to come to this place to stay for a night instead of making a day trip to the waterfalls from Ubud or any other place.
Negative points: -Food at the restaurant was tasty, but prices were slightly higher than usual in Indonesia.rn-No supermarkets or restaurants around. This isn't the owners fault obviously, it's just for everyone to take that into account.rn-Unfortunately, waterfalls are managed by a group of locals (including hotel staff) that don't allow tourists to visit without guides or visitor passes. This is very disappointing, and in our view, an experience breaker. There is no justification to force visitors to hire a guide in order to do a well marked trail to visit waterfalls that doesn't have any technical complexity whatsoever. On the contrary, it is again another strategy that local people use to get money from tourists. Fortunately, Dede provided us with visitor passes, but I want to make sure future customers are informed of this sort of practices before planning a trip to this area.
