Rooms and location are incredibly basic/rural so beware of that.

Truly a magnificant place mainly because of the hosts Wayan and Emma. Such an amazingly friendly and loving people made this a hidden gem. Next to this, Wayan is incredibly well educated in the field of meditation. His style felt for me like a mix between modern science-based mindfulness/acceptance techniques and ancient Balinese/Tibetan wisdom.. If you want to learn more about yourself, do some deeper psychological work or want to make general meditation progress, Wayan is there with all his warmth and presence to guide you!

Review for Bucu Hidden Homestay Bucu Hidden Homestay is truly a gem, and its greatest treasure is the warm and welcoming hosts, Wayan and his wife, Emma. Their genuine hospitality and care made my stay unforgettable, as they went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The homestay is a serene oasis, surrounded by lush gardens that create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The meditation area is a wonderful touch, offering a tranquil space to unwind and reconnect. If you're seeking a place that combines serenity with heartfelt hospitality, Bucu Hidden Homestay is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I liked the host family. Balinese people are nice generally, but this family is even beyond that. I enjoyed Wayan’s guided meditations, the beautiful garden, the rice fields that are just 4 min walk from the homestay, nice breakfast in the morning. The room was clean, hot and cold water 24/7.

It was the most peaceful atmosphere and space - only a 30 minute drive outside Ubud. It felt like staying at a friends house.

We loved our stay, as soon as we arrived we felt like at home. Wayan and his beautiful family were exceptional with everything. His wife, Emma makes awesome breakfast and an exceptional dinner. Also if you need any assistance with tours, his family provides assistance with it and transportation, Malen his brother was our guide during our stay, really good service. If you want to get conection with a real Balinese traditional family, this is the place, also to connect with your soul and meditation. Our family were really happy, including our 11 years old kid who loved the animals, Reyna (the dog) and peace (the kitty) did steal his heart. Thanks Wayan!!

Arjun is truly a beautiful soul. He is in his element as a host, sharing his teachings of presence and eastern philosophy. He made me feel at home from the first moment I arrived, and was very helpful and generous through my stay.

The place is amazing, really relaxing atmosphere and friendly and kind staff. Wayang and his wife were very friendly all the time with us and worried that we were well. Always attentive. The daily meditation was incredible. Wayang was always smiling and it was a pleasure talk with him. He can speak english and spanish! We are really grateful to meet him!

I loved my stay here. I was trying to find peace and spirituality and this is what I found. Beautiful place, comfortable and lovely guests with whom I learned and got inspired. I was worried about not having Ac (air conditioning), but actually, there was a super strong fan that was even better and at some point not necessary because the temperature was perfect. What a gem to find something like this in Ubud where sometimes it feels spirituality is becoming more commercial and instagrammable. Thank you so much to Wayan and the family!

Only that I had to say goodbye...

Bucu is a hidden gem!! I am so grateful I found Wayan and Emma's beautiful guest house tucked away off the street in Bresela. Wayan was a very caring and kind host and offered great meditations in his garden meditation space. The sound of the frogs and night birds were lovely. The garden at Bucu is charming with beautiful simple teachings, creatively painted and spread around his guest house as reminders of a compassionate way of being. Wayan also shared about the amazing walk that is very close to the guest house, that takes one through spacious rice fields and I felt safe and at ease walking alone through the fields. Wayan also very generously invited me and his other guests to witness his village's cremation ceremony and preparatory processions. What a gift. I felt welcomed and blessed to share in this special occasion that only happens every 5 years. Emma makes a great breakfast, somethung different each day, served with a lovely smile, and is happy for guests to use her kitchen to cook their other meals. I was grateful for that, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Bucu is kept clean and the energy is tranquil and friendly. The value for money of this stay is also worth mentioning. Wayan and Emma's place is very affordable for the beautiful sanctuary they offer. I extended my stay at Bucu for as long as I could. I will hold this time at Bucu, with Wayan and his family, in my heart always. Truly grateful. Terimakasih!

nothing to complain at all

cozy rooms, clean bathrooms with hot water shower, very good breakfast in the morning but what is absolutely amazing is the beautiful garden in front of the rooms, neatly and carefully cultivated by our caring hosts - Wayan and his wife Emma I have never met such nice hosts in my whole life…

Wayan and his wife Emma have created a little oasis filled with love. A sanctuary for the soul. They are very generous and share the Balinese traditions and way of life. I was close to just canceling the rest of my holiday plans to stay there. It is very restful and peaceful in a rural setting with the local rice fields just a few minutes walk away. Chickens, cats and dogs roaming around and the cows from the neighbor welcoming you with a muuu. Wayans complementary evening meditations which can be enjoyed by anyone are the cherry on top...

Only had hot water once, the rest of the days it didn't work. So if you don't mind cold showers the place is still great

Beautiful place with beautiful people. Wayan is the friendliest host on Bali, who also serves sitting meditation every evening to guests. Tranquil and serene vibe, in this place 20 min from Ubud. Not for party people, great for genuine connections and relaxation in a village setting, I could sit there all day every day and stare at the beautiful lotus flowers in the garden, watch the dogs play and have deep conversations with the host.
