Nothing

Everything. The most amazing location and stay. They looked after us so well

Stayed in March 2025

My stay at Sandag Hill was an unforgettable experience. Tucked away in a serene corner of Bali, this place is perfect for nature lovers seeking peace and a deep connection with the surroundings. Sandag Hill truly feels like a hidden gem, untouched by the crowds, offering a silent and tranquil escape. The villa is beautifully immersed in nature, with sweeping views of the rice fields and local farmers, offering a glimpse into Bali's rural lifestyle. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the impeccably clean interiors to the incredibly comfortable bed. The villa itself is a labor of love, built by the owners – a lovely couple. . I was amazed by the astonishing work they've put into making everything perfect, including providing hot water, which isn’t always easy to come by in more remote areas. The food, cooked by the wife, was delicious and incredibly affordable. We stayed for two nights and order 2 dinners for 2 and paid 22 cad. The owners also organize trips. We visit the Water Temple and the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia. While the villa provides an electric repellent in the bedroom, I’d recommend bringing your own just in case. But we had no insects in our bed. Sandag Hill is a peaceful retreat for anyone looking to escape into nature while still enjoying the comforts of home. We travelled all around Bali and it's my favorite place.

Nothing, we loved everything

Everything. Perfectly nestled in nature, it allows you to blend with it… you sleep and wake up to the sounds of nature… it is magical

Amazing place surrounded by nature, you wake up with the sunrise from your bed. There was a guitar/kimono's & super nice cookies. The little details where super unique. Would definitely come back here ❤️

Nothing!

It was magical. It seriously takes your breath away. The location was off the beaten track. So close to nature. The property itself smelt beautiful and had all you needed. Gede helped me to go to a silver making workshops and drove me there personally. I am extremely thankful for such a beautiful stay. Would not recommend for elderly/challenged as it’s a tricky walk. But this made it all the more beautiful for those with all abilities.

Well, unfortunately, the food was not good. Privacy is a bit tricky in that kind of open rooms where you can hear your neighbors but it's ok for 1 or 2 nights. Otherwise, you will enjoy the sound of the nature around you and make you sleep well.

A unique experience, in the middle of the rice fields, outside of the classic hotels. Super relaxing. All the comfort and necessary equipment in a charming bamboo room with a beautiful view. Very confortable bed. Welcoming staff.

The walk to the villas was an adventure in itself and although it is not something I personally disliked (as the whole experience was wonderful) the walk could be tricky to navigate if you had mobility issues

To stay at Sandag is more than a hotel it is a unique experience, a truly wonderful experience. Our bamboo villa was spotlessly clean with open views of the countryside where you can just immerse yourself in nature. The staff were amazing and brought our food up to our villa. It was one of our best stays in Bali definitely recommend to stay here

The location and the Villa are one of a kind. The host Gede offers a lot of excursions and has a Quick respons.

Nothing- only that we didn’t stay longer!

The location and view from this property is breathtaking. Gede is a wonderful host, very welcoming, knowable and quick to respond if you need anything. This was our best experience in Bali by a long shot!

Nothing to complain about at all

The Bamboo Houses of Sandag Hill are amazing. The view across the rice fields of Sidemen and to the hills of the sleeping elephant is breathtaking, the sunrise and the evenings are great. Restaurants are nearby, but you need a bike or a car. Access to the houses are unusual as you need to walk on the sometimes narrow banks of the irrigation system above the houses and get down some steep stairs, however it is all a matter of getting used to. The houses were super clean and well equipped, for the big house be aware the toilet is outside ;o). Rice Field hiking with local guides strongly recommended, they can start and end at the houses. The team is so caring and their food is good. It has been a pleasure to stay. Thanks a lot to the crew. Carsten & Rahmat

Literally everything

Gede was a wonderful host, and the property exceeded my expectations truly ! I had the most relaxing two night stay, with breakfast served to my door. The countryside is beautiful and the accommodation is very well kept. I felt safe and very well taken care of , I recommend this to anyone who wants to be in nature and relax for a while ! Thank you Gede and staff for making it such a pleasant experience :)

A little bit more privacy in the shower area would be great, so we wouldn't need to put on any covering during showers as passersby/staff can see you through the bamboo pole used as walls/screen in the shower area.

The host and staff were awesome. They were available 24/7. One morning, we had to get up at 3:30 a.m. and were shocked that there was no water supply. We contacted Gede, and he was on it immediately. 10-15 mins later, the water is back on. The Wifi is very strong and fast despite being in the middle of paddy fields and near a forest. The place is very clean. The view of the mountains and the rice field directly from our stay is second to none. The walk from the main road to the villa can be quite narrow in some areas, and you must be careful. But we enjoyed the experience of walking back along the stream to our villa and enjoying the view of the rice fields. The walk to Sandar Villa takes about 4 minutes from the main road, and it can be rather slippery and muddy after rain. And the speaker provided in the villa was a nice thought. Here's a snippet of the walk from the main road to the villa to give you a better idea of what you will be experiencing at this stay: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSjxfXnAk/ TIPS: 1) Pack a small torchlight to take with you if you return after 6.30 pm. The walk along the stream back to your villa is not well-lit. Some areas are in total darkness, and you can barely see your feet. The last thing you want is to miss a step and hurt yourself. Though the torch from your phone may help, it may not be bright enough. The villa provides a torch, but it's a tad too big to take it with you in your handbag. 2) Always keep the netting to cover your bed to avoid tiny insects and dust from the roof and dirty your bed linen. 3) Off all lights just before sunrise to avoid any bugs and insects flying in - especially those attracted to lights. 4) Wake up early and enjoy the sunrise. 5) Stay is NOT Recommended for families with young kids

There is nothing I can say cause we loved it so much and if I didn’t book hotels in other places around Bali I would stay there forever

It was absolutely amazing bamboo villa equipped with my more than you can imagine with the most breathtaking view!

Our stay at Sandag Hill was magical. Waking up to breathtaking sunrises over the endless rice paddies was an experience we'll cherish forever. The villa itself was beautifully designed and the staff were incredibly friendly. It was the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. If you're looking for a truly unforgettable getaway, Sandag Hill is a must-visit.

I would lie if i wouldn’t say the insects, but that was just part of the whole experience. But so you know, everything is open so there are (ofcourse) insects.

The view was unreal!

Location, owners, food, bamboo house, everything was beyond what we expected. And it was very clean. Whatever you need they’re here to help you. We loved it there. It’s a perfect place to relax, recharge and reconnect.

Not much we didn't like. The only thing worth noting is that you will want to order your food/drinks in advance as it takes some time to prepare. If it ever has a pool, it would be perfect.

We really loved how quiet and relaxing the location is. The place is well made, really clean, and felt super homely. The sound of the running river/waterfall is really nice and peaceful 🙏 We stayed in the larger villa, which was nice having a separate living and sleeping spaces. Good value, if you're looking for a place away from any busyness, this is perfect. Gede was super friendly and welcoming, very hospitable and helped with any plans or requests we needed. Thank you for your hospitality.

Nothing. Although a scooter may be handy bc of location

This is a very special and unique place. I loved the style of the bamboo house and the views are incredible. The owners are extremely kind and generous, they helped me with everything I needed. Their communication was excellent! If you are looking for something unique and quiet, this is perfect.
