Don’t expect a luxury stay. But for the money you have all the basic amenities. Recommend!

The host was amazing! If you want to experience real Bali, this is the place. Located in a village with open and friendly people, surrounded by jungle and rice fields - this place allows to enjoy the authentic experience.

The wall fan couldn't swing at night, and being in a village stay means you'll get some bugs in the room too.

Sandy is very friendly. When you book this accommodation, you are directly supporting the local village community as well, not going through major businesses who take a big cut from building luxurious places. Do multiple nights stay if you have the time. He can recommend various walking and hiking route. Scenic spot, to immerse in the real culture of balinese, for a mini retreat, meditation, yoga, reflection, this is the place. Modern toilet.

No negatives, but we arrived and left with Gojek as we aren't renting scooters for the whole trip. Gojek was simple and came in 15 minutes, if needed Sandi can arrange transport but he told us it tends to be more expensive (as it usually is) so he reccomended the apps first. It was a little out of the way so if you don't have your own transport then your food options are limited if Sandi or his son are not available for lifts. The market down the street was fine for us, but we've backpacked a lot and our standards are adaptable. 20+ minute walk to the food stalls and 30 - 40 minute walk to a decent sized Warung. Walls are thin because this is a small property with 5 or 6 units. We heard talking and snoring at times, but nothing you wouldn't get at a hostel. Bring earplugs if it bothers you.

Sandis' home is a great value for the money. We stayed 2 nights in the countryside. Pool is refreshing and clean. The beds are clean, outdoor shower is warm. No aircon, but nice fan in the room. There is no netting in the room either so insects and geckos can be about, but we were not overwhelmed. Free coffee and Tea, breakfast is from a local market. We also paid for the cultural tour with Sandi and it was well worth the money. Walked through town, to a local market, and across a rice terrace where he explained the local history and culture. If you have a few weeks in Bali and you've got time, then staying for 2 nights and taking the cultural tour was well worth the price. Day 1 - we arrived via gojek in the afternoon. Went for a swim and chilled in the room. Sandi and his son took us to a local food stall for dinner, very good value and food. Day 2 - we left at 6 am and walked through the terraces. Sandi provides some local history but feel free to ask questions. His English is very good. He took us to the local market where we picked up breakfast (to eat later) and walked about the stalls. Sandi is a regular in the town and everyone is friendly. We had breakfast and coffee next to the terraces and Sandi shared with us some cultural and spiritual history of the area. Note: We opted for the extra forest tour. My partner and I are avid wilderness hikers and it was a good addition, but it can get hot and steep. I would bring a trekking pole and buy lots of water. We walked through a traditional Balinese Village and stopped for water before walking back. It added 2 or so hours to the experience and we got back around 1:00 to 2:00 PM. Swam in the afternoon. 7 minute walk to a small/modest market where we picked up ramen, cold drinks, chips, and candy. We made ramen in Sandi's kitchen which he was happy to let us use. Day 3 - Breakfast in the morning was from the local market, same as the tour, very good local indonesiean food.

Sandi has built an experience so incredible. If You’re looking for a true Indonesian experience this is for you. We spent 3 nights with Sandi. His knowledge, kindness and expertise are very valuable. We took a trek into the jungle and had coffee at the top. The views were stunning and Sandi taught us so much about Indonesia and their culture. He made us feel welcome and part of the family from the second we arrived. His experience and passion is inspiring and we’re excited to return. We recommend his spiritual meditation session as it was truly enlightening. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that is looking for a true Indonesian experience

If you really know why you're booking accommodation in this type of guesthouse, you're bound to enjoy the experience.

I loved discovering deep Bali while enjoying the countryside, exploring around and learn many things, meeting beautiful local people who take the time to share their knowledge, charity and kindness.

The owner Sandi was extremely hospitable and gave me a great tour of the are. He helped me to rent a bike as well. You truly become part of this family when you’re staying here, easy to become friends with other people staying there as well.

We received a warm welcome from Sandi and his son. Staff was very helpful and kind to us. They helped us when we needed and there is always a staff member on site which is really convenient. The breakfast cooked by Sandi was amazing and we discovered new Indonesian meals. Thank you!

It could do some tidying up around because the place holds potential 😇

The area is pretty among rice fields. The host were warm, friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was cute and humble.. it was very sufficient for what we were after. Small pool to cool off after a day of traveling.

The accommodation is basic with all you need and luxurious with a beautiful outside bathroom. The owners (Sandi and his wife) are so welcoming and friendly. I felt very comfortable and safe travelling on my own as a female. On top I booked a tour with Sandi where he went on a hike through the neighbourhood, the local market, rice fields while he shared interesting knowledge with me about the Indonesian culture. I stayed two nights and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a real Indonesian experience apart from tourism! The banana pancakes for breakfast were super delicious :-)

Sandi was great, the tour of Bungaya was a highlight for us. The pool is great, and the surrounding farmland and mountains are beautiful. A really authentic experience and great place to stay. Loved it.

An amazing cultural experience. Set among rice paddies, in my own little bungalow, this family stay was one I will always remember. Sandi and his family were welcoming and great hosts. Sandi is extrememly knowledgable about the community, politics, religion, health and healing and global issues relating to Indonesia. I enjoyed many chats and learnt a lot. Sandi took me to the local market to enjoy a traditional Balinese breakfast, taste some local delicacies and learn about traditional produce. Tours, hire of bikes and transfers can be organised for your needs and interests. Highly recommended stay to experience rural Bali.

Sandi and his family were very always available to answer questions and help get around (this homestay is quite far out in the country). They also provided fresh fruits, drinking water, and coffee/tea for use anytime. I would highly recommend doing the add on activities (motor bike tour, ride field walk, and energy healing) to enhance your stay and get a true Balinese experience.
