Staying with Made and Putu was a wonderful experience. It is a great place to unwind and experience the real Bali in a family compound in rural Bali. Made and Putu are wonderfully warm and welcoming hosts and have made the experience a truly memorable one.

The roosters, can wake you up but we had no big problems.

Everything. This is one of the best places in Bali. Compared to some other accommodations, this was just perfect. Super clean, huge room and huge private bathroom with nice design, delicious food for breakfast and dinner. Made & Putu are incredibly nice. If you look for authentic homestay and hoping for great quality at the same time, this is the place. I wish we booked more nights, there is so much to do in Sidemen, also for a better price than in more touristy destinations, we could really use our time here. Next time hopefully!

We felt welcome from the first moment and the owners made our stay memorable. Terima kasih! It is a home stay, so all food is home made. If you like, you have your own privacy / two rooms with a terrace are in a different house - but a part of a beautiful garden. If you are interested, many tips what to see around shared, you can rent a motorbike for a reasonable price and also any transfer can be offered. So it is a great help. Great location - in the centre, very nice garden to enjoy breakfast, food or just a drink. Facilities are new and clean; comfortable bed.

Very nice, clean and quiet room a short walk from the centre of Sideman. Made and Putu were extremely kind and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, introducing us to local foods and taking us to the local temples. We also have a walk in the rice fields and took a cooking class with them, both of which were very good.

I stayed 4 nights with Made and Putu, it was the perfect place after staying in Kuta for a couple of days. Sidemen is a nice small town with only a few tourists. Made and Putu were amazing hosts and I really enjoyed staying with them. We went to local ceremonys, the rice fields and the waterfall. It is so special to go there with locals, you get to see more and different places then you would see just as a tourist on your own. Also the breakfast and dinner I had at their place were amazing! It's one of the smaller and really local homestays, so perfect if you want to get to know the real Sidemen. Hope to come back one day!

Everything is just perfect. It felt like as if we would stay with our family. The warmth and love of the hosts is just exceptional, the cleanliness, the spacious room, the location, the beautiful nature and many more just made our trip unique. We had a cooking class with the hosts Made & Putu, went to the rice fields together, could borrow their scooter and we always got extras for breakfast and lunch. Made & Putu have a special place in our hearts and we will come back soon!

Nothing. It was an amazing experience.

This was one of the best accommodation experiences I have ever had. As a solo traveller, I have never felt more welcomed or looked after. Made and Putu are the perfect hosts and the warmest Indonesians I have met. Despite us speaking two different languages, we conversed, and laughed, and they looked after me. Putu is a phenomenal cook and I felt right at home. The room is within their property yet private and entirely self-contained. If you want alone time, you can have it. Equally, if you want to immerse yourself with the family, there is a small outdoor kitchen dining area. The room itself was uncluttered, modern and pristinely clean (and I’m picky!). The sheets and linen were fresh and the bathroom was also modern and super clean. The shower was better and more consistent in pressure and temperature than the four star resort I’ve just come from and paid triple the cost for in Ubud. Sidemen is a magical village and the Bali I always dreamed of experiencing. Made Putu is in the perfect spot, right between the village and market and the new cafes and villas. They let me borrow their scooter but it’s no more than a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the village markets, or the newer cafes. I will be back in July….. I just wish I stayed longer! If you want to experience authentic Bali, this is exactly where you need to book. Terimakasih! ❤️❤️

Loved the location in a small town. The homestay was on a family compound, and the family was absolutely lovely! They gave us clothes to use for a temple visit and also an offering. When we had dinner there they gave us some free extra's, and it seems they just did that because they wanted us to experience local food. Also, the dinner was tasty and cheap!

The room was so clean and spacious! The best part was the couple that owns it who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The provided me with a scooter to rent, took me on a tour of the rice terraces, and let me borrow traditional clothes to visit the temple. The food was also amazing! I only wish I stayed longer.

That we only booked two nights! We wanted to stay here for our entire time in Sidemen but they were already booked out..

Everything! Biggest, cleanest room I've stayed in. Made & Putu are great hosts, they are welcoming and warm and so helpful. The breakfast was filling and came with extras. They offer a small, fresh menu for lunch and dinner. You can do a rice trek with Made and rent a scooter and traditional gear from them for the temples. Central location, close to the touristy restaurant and town area and the local shops.

Nothing, everything was amazing.

The room was exceptionally clean, bright and huge. All the appliances in the room and bathroom are brand new. The meals cooked by Putu were simply the best -- Made and Putu used to also run a restaurant so this is the best authentic Balinese Indonesian cooking right at the homestay. Conveniently located. Would stay again 100%.

Staying with the lovely Made and Putu in their homestay has been a highlight of our 20+ trips to Bali. Their thoughtful hospitality was a joy. Putu is a chef and her meals are fantastic! Made led us on a trek through the local rice fields, an experience that taught us so much about farming culture and how the people nurture the land.

Made and Putu are amazing, so kind and welcoming. Kadek, their son, was also very helpful and had great English if you needed extra support.

Welcoming family who were so eager to help us enjoy our stay. They organised transport, cooked us a lovely dinner and took us to their son-in-laws restaurant for a special meal.

Nothing. It suited me perfectly.

The location was perfect for me being a single traveler. I could walk to the village and explore local life. The family were a total delight. They love what they do and it shows. The property is clean, spacious and private.

We absolutely loved our stay here, the staff were incredibly nice and kind to us! We were not very well during our stay so they made us a lemon tea and looked after us! They cooked for us another night and the food was super tasty and authentic! The room was really big and really clean, it was very modern and a huge bathroom!
