Big room, extremely clean and comfortable. Also very silent and quiet at night, slept really good. The views are a dream! Loved the breakfast in the terrace and the lovely service they offer. A beautiful family place I’m happy I had the pleasure to stay in. Thank you!!

We loved our stay here it has been one of our favourite stops in Bali and we extended twice. The rooms are spacious and clean, the owners and staff are super helpful, we booked a rice paddies walk and taxis through them which was v easy, but the best thing for us was the setting- as it looks out over the rice paddies and with a view of Mount Agung - and it’s so peaceful watching all the little animals and birds in the morning and evening. You do share a terrace with another room, but they are huge terraces and for most of our stay we had it to ourself as quiet season. Worth noting that the breakfast is quite basic, however for the price point it’s enough and there are many places nearby if you want to roam. In fact it’s a great location right between the tourist part of Sidemen and the more local side so you can easily explore both.

Family owned businesses, incredible views and the friendliest hosts. If you are thinking of coming to Sidemen this is an excellent choice for your accommodation.

the roads to the accommodation can a little windy but of course if you drive slowly and look at the path ahead, you should be fine

special thanks to the friendly and lovely hosts we met - Gede, the dad, and uncle - during our 2 night stay. we booked 2 rooms side by side that opened into lush greenery and mount agung in the distance. rooms were big (great affect on wellbeing, surprisingly). very clean, no dust even on the ceiling fan and on the floor under the bed (something fell under the bed so i had a look). comfy bed. great sleep. breakfast is served around 8-9am and brought to your terrace. imagine sipping on coffee with a magnificent view in front of you. warm water may run out if you take long showers. soap, shampoo provided. no issues with wifi. aircon works in case it gets warm in the day. but with the chilly weather at night there was no need for aircon. hairdryer available. if you want to hire driver to bring you up to Besakih, you can ask Gede (host) who speaks both indo and english. he will bring there and wait for 1.5h until you are done. he brought us to a restaurant for lunch after - it had an amazing view of rice terraces! and then we swung by a mini mart for magnum ice cream afterwards as the day grew warmer. for dinner, i’d highly recommend Warung Ibu Ida which is 5 minutes walk away. managed by a lovely grandma who makes amazing home cooked dishes. amongst others, get the curry chicken (comes with rice), and u must try her pisang goreng for dessert.

Great location amongst picturesque rice fields and Mt Agung clearly visible in front of our accommodation (on a clear day). The staff were friendly and smiling. Breakfast on the front terrace of our villa in the mornings was lovely. Close to lots of Warungs, coffee shops and little grocery shops, yet very quiet, peaceful and secluded. The bedroom is very spacious and the bathroom is a good size. A/C very effective for a cool night’s sleep. Room serviced everyday.

Nothing, all good.

The property was lovely, in the heart of the village with restaurants all around. You wake up, walk onto your terrace and there is a rice field on your doorstep. Also in the distance is Mt Agung which is a wonderful sight on a clear day. The room is excellent, large, spacious and clean. The bathroom is lovely. Breakfast was included so set me up for the day. Tea and coffee, fridge I. The room. The staff are lovely, they organised a scooter for the day and a taxi for my next destination. Brilliant.

We absolutely loved our stay here and it’s even more beautiful than the photos! The room was really spacious, clean and comfortable and the WiFi was super fast. The location is perfect - it’s really peaceful while still being a short walk from a lot of warungs and nice restaurants. The staff were lovely and cleaned our room every single day. The breakfast was also delicious with a very good choice of different breakfast dishes. We can’t wait to come back here again!

Amazing view of rice fields and Mt. Agung, very quiet location. The staff was very helpful.

Unbelievable accommodation in a stunning location in Sideman! I can not fault it here and wished we had longer! The room has a terrace overlooking rice fields with the volcano in the background. The room itself is incredibly spacious, exceptionally clean and has everything you need including a jug of drinking water, AC, ceiling fan. Breakfast was brought to our terrace each morning and the hosts were very helpful in offering to help advise/book silver classes, cooking classes and taxis. They also have scooter rental on site.

Gede, from the time of booking till our departure made sure everything was perfect. Coordinated with us professionally, pick up was arranged and was on time. Helped us arrange bike on rental, breakfast was served on time as we requested early morning since we had to leave for gateway of heaven. Overall really had a pleasent stay and would certainly revisit in future. Rooms open up to their rice fields. Rooms are big and clean. Washroom are clean. Staff is polite.

We had an amazing stay @ Babakan! Situated among beautiful rice paddies & a quiet 1-5 min stroll from many lovely restaurants, cafes & warungs...The location is wonderful & the staff super friendly & helpful!! No plunge/swimming pool, but Wapa de Ume Resort is just down the road, you can visit as a day guest & spend the afternoon lounging at their amazing pool with views over the river. Waking up among the rice paddies, watching the cows & chickens & listening to the sounds of the birds were amazing. Sidemen is still very authentic, the real Bali! A must visit!!

Beautiful bungalow in peaceful surroundings. Comfortably furnished. Good breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Many opportunities for experiences and trips arranged by hotel.

We were worried given some open areas at the top of the walls in the bathroom about mosquitoes and insects but had no issues at all. Breakfast on your balcony is a perfect touch. The juice at breakfast was delicious however the food has room for improvement. Would have loved a pool but it wasn't necessary.

We would stay again! Gede (the owner) of the Babakan was so helpful. He helped us organise our driver from Ubud to Sideman and a scooter was swiftly organised for us on our arrival. Any question we had was quickly answered and request delivered. The room was spacious and so clean and tidy. The view from the room was beautiful. It is quiet and tranquil. The location is good several areas of interest are a reasonably close drive via scooter (and I'm sure Gede would be helpful in organising another mode of transport if needed) There are warungs within walking distance for food.

It would have been a 10 if there had been a mosquito net around the bed and some mosquito screens on the open bathroom windows. But overall, it was really good.

We had a wonderful stay at the Babakan accommodation. The room is clean and the owner and their family are really nice and helpful. It was easy to rent a motorbike at a good price.

We had the best stay in Sidemen. The room has a beautiful view of Mount Agung and the rice fields. Gede and his family were amazing, helping us organise our activities and making sure we had everything we needed. The village is a little paradise with a lot of great restaurants around! Definitely the best part of our honeymoon.

Beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views across rice fields to Mt Agung. Short walk to the small town and to good warungs. Lovely, friendly staff and spotlessly clean room with soap, shampoo etc in great bathroom. Plenty of hot water. Tea and coffee provided, as well as breakfast served on your private terrace. The staff could also organise scooter rental and a car with driver when needed. Altogether a wonderful experience.
