Such a relaxing place, Made and his wife were lovely and so helpful.

Stayed in November 2024

The cabins are a charming traditional wooden design but lack insulation and there is no ceiling fan, so the little aircon unit struggled to keep the temperature at a comfortable level. It was very hot in October, and even though we are from Darwin and used to the heat, we are also used to having ceiling fans everywhere and we really felt the lack of one. Natural ventilation could be improved if the door to the outside bathroom had a hook on it to hold it open when wanted. The local mosque is quite close and we were woken by the loudspeakers every morning around 5am - they seem to start up even before the roosters. I suppose one gets used to it eventually.

The general atmosphere and surroundings here are wonderfully relaxing. Stunning lush rural scenery from every angle in the grounds, from the warm pool and from the little porch of the cabin. Our host Made and his family are very welcoming, friendly and attentive without being in any way intrusive. Made's English is excellent and we had some interesting conversations about life in northern Bali. Breakfast was simple but delicious. We only had dinner there one night but it was very nice. There are also several other decent options for dining out in the local area, some within walking distance. The location was very convenient for our diving activities which departed from the little Sumberkima harbour just down the road. Loved the outdoor bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. Also highly recommend the massage service available.

Nothing. Ear plugs are a good idea however, there’s quite a cacophony at various times of the night.

Idyllic setting, looking out at a small rice field with mountain backdrop. Loved the lumbung, the room the balcony and the bathroom!! Staff very helpful, arranged tours and scooter for me, everything was seamless.

To be honest there was nothing disappointing.

The hospitality of the owner. He helped us organize excursions. Such as the boat trip to the dolphins or the cultural trips to the nearby temples.Very nice and quiet room. Nice view of the rice field. We would definitely go back. Side note: I am going to send a video of the property to the owner. So he can share it on social media.

First of all, the location is amazing. It is very close to nature with all its beauty in landscape, flora and sounds. You can get a very authentic picture of life on Bali here. Then on top of that, Made, the host, is a very generous and kind man, who will make sure that you have the perfect stay and that your every wish will be fulfilled.

Maybe the only thing that can be improved is the wifi speed.

We had a phenomenal stay at Made’s place. He is one of a kind host that is always willing to help. The place is gorgeous, and the pool was great. Breakfast was excellent too. We enjoyed chatting with Made, and learning about Bali and its traditions.

Wow- What a gem!. We stayed here last week for 3 nights and Made and Nila did everything to make us feel welcome. We were the only guests (but it was low season) . There are four beautifully clean lumbung style rooms overlooking the rice paddies and the Menjangan hills. Our room had great air conditioning, comfortable beds and the bali style outdoor bathroom is among the best we have come across. It is walking distance to other great restaurants but Nila’s cooking is superb so if you don’t want to go out you can stay in and enjoy some fantastic food. Made organised our snorkelling and transport needs at great prices without any hassles. We had some great conversations with Made during our stay and learnt more about the Balinese culture and beliefs on this visit than we had in 20 years of visiting the island. Thanks for a wonderful time. We will definitely return!

The owner was very friendly, he provided all the necessary details on what to do nearby. The view was absolutely superb and the room polished clean. Pool nicely maintained, I could say that the food is not that great in diversity but who doesn’t like scrambled eggs on toast with some fresh fruit! Absolutely recommend!

Unfortunately, neighbours can be a bit noisy during the day but that didn’t bothered us too much.

Made has been an outstanding host. One of the best we had during our Bali’s trip. He’s kind, discreet and will exchange about the Balinese culture thoroughly. Our discussion will stay in our mind for a long time. The cottages are clean, cute and the pool with the view in the rice fields is soothing and peaceful. Moreover, his wife is an incredible cook as we ate the fish with the special Umma sauce that was very tasty. I can’t recommend enough to drop to Umma Bali if you are staying around Permuteran area. He will lighten your stay. We will definitely come back if we are in bali again. Thanks Made

Only comment would be it would be good to stock Radlers for those who don't drink Bintangs.

A fantastic getaway spot. Sooo peaceful set amongst the rice paddies. Made was an amazing host, very efficient and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return. A couple of good restaurants close by as well.

Nothing - it was all great.

A beautiful place, and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on! A very kind and helpful host (Made) who helped us to organise our activities and provided great suggestions. The food was delicious. We didn't want to leave.

Only 4 bungalows, beautiful with great view and amazing open air bathroom. The owner is an amazing host and will arrange everything for you. His wife is a great cook, I had breakfast and dinner by the pool every day, no need to eat somewhere else.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff who can’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. The rooms are absolutely incredible, so much love and care and thought has gone into making these huts unique with modern amenities. Made and his wife, are very proud of their retreat.

Amazing place, beautiful, clean, wifi works properly.

The cost of day activities were significantly cheaper from Permuteran (only 10min down the road), so if you plan on activities, bring your own transport.

This was a lovely place to stay and Made was a great host. The food was yum and any trips you wanted could be booked easily.

The equipment provided by the snorkeling tour was not fitting our mensuration (fins size). The informations regarding how to do treks in the national park are not very clear. The West Bali National park is actually the most dirty place I have seen there, more plastic than sand on the beach. Most probably trashes come from Java island, such a pity for a natural reserve.

Very friendly and agreeable host. Made did everything to make our stay comfortable. He booked snorkeling trip for us even it was late evening. I could borrow his motorbike to get some diner in town. I highly recommend this beautiful place. We saw lots of animals in the park (black and grey monkeys, wild boars, and deers), amazing beautiful coral reefs to visit by snorkeling at menjangan island.

By the nature of this part of Bali generally, I recommend that no matter where you choose to stay, if you’re a light sleeper; pack some ear plugs! The morning combination of roosters and the local mosques certainly had me greeting the morning earlier than I would normally. On the upside, the view of the micro-bats, birds and misty hills was absolutely breathtaking at that time of the morning!

Absolutely stunning slice of paradise that is very private despite the stretching views of the mountains/fields. The pictures on the website are true to life, and there are no sneaky camera angles or nasty surprises like so many other places I’ve been to have! My room and the whole facility was ridiculously clean, and the highlight of the whole experience is the hosts themselves. I have visited Bali many times and their hospitality really stands out. Nothing is too much trouble, and they were more than happy to accomodate my dietary restrictions and have a hot meal ready and waiting for my 8pm arrival. As a woman traveling alone, they made me feel incredibly safe my entire stay.

Everything was just perfect!

Definitely the best accommodation during our trip to Bali. Made and his family welcomed us warmly and throughout our stay they were very attentive and kind. The rooms and the facilities are spotless and you can feel the the whole place was made with quality and attention to details. In this hidden location a full service is proposed with activities, restaurant, SPA treatments, driver, etc. All you need to do is to go there and enjoy your time!

We stayed here for 2 nights during our trip in Bali. This retreat, which is located in a small rice field, has a nice view on the nearby mountains. It is owned and managed by the host Made & his family. They are very kind, helpful and hospitable people. It’s possible to book several activities in the surrounding area from the retreat. We booked a snorkeling tour and it was totally worth it. The host also helped us book a dinner at a nearby beach. I highly recommend this stay if you are looking for a peaceful place to reside in North-Wast Bali.
