All great!

Very near Mancingan rice terrace, Gunung Kawi and Tirta Empul. We spent here Nyepi (Balinese new year) and the owner cooked delicious meals for us. Really lovely people and stay.

Love that this property is locally owned by a beautiful family. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood with lush scenery all around at a very affordable price. I will miss my favorite breakfast, Nasi Goreng, cooked by Wayan every morning. Thanks also to Ketut, Nyoman, and their lovely parents and rest of family. Suksma 🙏🏾 for hosting and feeding me and my local friend from Tampaksiring, Rai. 😆

A beautiful house with a pool and a lovely garden. On top, the owners are so welcoming. Can arrange tours, activities or a scooter for an objectively great price. Even better, there are temples, rice fields and even a waterfall within walking distance. And finally, you can refill your water bottle in the kitchen for free. Besides the included breakfast, you can get wonderful home cooked lunches/dinners at the place.

We stayed for too short, we wished we’d have stayed longer!

Tha Tangkas family was very welcoming and open hearted, we loved staying with them and get to know more about Balinese culture. We loved walking to the secret waterfall just behind the pool. The garden is beautiful and the staff were amazing! We’ve been very honored to have the opportunity to join the neighbors ceremony and we’ve been lucky to see Nyoman’s incredible dance performance! The family gave us sarong and proper Balinese clothes to be able to take part of the ceremony. Truly unforgettable! THANK YOU!

the homestay is located in a tiny village, really quiet ! the Tangkas is an amazing familly, we shared drinks and long talks about Balinese culture, language. we learned a lot and really appreciate the time the family spent with us. very open-minded and caring people. we will be back again for sure!! calm, clean, it was perfect for our 3 first nights in bali. good choice if you are looking to avoid the crowed places and Ubud hotels. food was really good, they can offer massage too in extra ($20aus) suksuma 🫶

All good 👍

Tangkas House was a great experience that I recommend for anyone who wants to have an authentic experience of staying with a local family. The property is beautiful and very calm, the family house is best described as a beautiful temple and the backyard is a view to the lush jungle with a pool. The whole family were very friendly, and offered a tasty menu for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And also they have a motorcycle for rent that was super convenient to explore the surrounding area. All very reasonably priced. If I could go back in time, I would have skipped going to Ubud and just spend more time at Tangkas House. Plenty of temples, rice teraces, waterfalls, and local villages to explore that can keep you entertained for a week. Thank you Tangkas House owners for such a pleasant experience with them! 😄

The Tangkas family is extremely welcoming and friendly, I felt like I was part of their family by the end of my stay! Nyoman was also very quick and graceful to respond to feedback. Their property is ever so beautiful—there's a waterfall to hike to in their backyard! The meals I had were satisfying and generous. The location Tampaksiring was perfect—a quiet mountain village with the friendliest people. I was able to quickly and easily reach Pura Gunung Kawi, Pura Tirta Empul, the Tegalalang rice field and Penglipuran village. But I was equally content to spend lots of time by the pool surrounded by the lush nature at Tangkas House.

This place was very nice. The garden was big and full of green. It was refreshing and relaxing for me. The owners were kind and nice people. They were very helpful and friendly. It was in a walking distance to Tirta Empul Temple. I loved it.

It’s a peace place which I liked much, this hotel runs byfamily business and they are very kind people, love them and thankful for a stay! Also what was easy and good for me that they also rent motorbike so no needed to search somewhere far to rent it.

Just know you're out in a small town. As far as the homestay, it's a lovely place to stay and they offer Bali activities for you to enjoy. Like an all in one package.

This is a lovely homestay. You are treated like family and it is amazing. Don't hesitate to come stay with the Tangkas Family. We received such a warm greeting. There are temples and many other cultural activities. Consider renting a scooter to easily get around.

That I didn’t stay longer

The family is so kind and welcoming and the homestay is in a quiet village, away from the busy touristy areas. You’ll get to experience the real Bali and I couldn’t recommend this highly enough

It was all great.

Love is there, in the people, the family and the property. It’s a great place to relax, expand, receive and just be.

The only thing I was a little sad about is they were building a beautiful pool, so I didn't get the opportunity to use it.

Everyone at Tangkas House was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming like you are part of their family. I felt comfortable right away. Water, tea, coffee, and breakfast were included. The bed was so comfortable, one of the first nights i got a restful sleep.Tutik took me to 2 of her friends' houses. I got to see the artists who made wooden jewelry and also the artist who made bone carvings and met his family as well. I bought pieces from each of them as it was extra special seeing them in the process. The young girls took me for a walk out the back of the property thru rice fields to the river and a beautiful waterfall. The family of 4 drove me into Ubud to my next location and carried my heavy bag for me. Staying there has truly filled my heart with warmth and happiness and just a sense of serene tranquility. I was sad when it was time to move on. I have already recommended this place to people who will be arriving in 3 weeks. I will 100% stay there again.
