Such a unique experience in a wonderful location. We were very well looked after and the local food was fantastic

Wayan was a very helpful and accommodating host, making our stay worry free. We loved seeing the rice fields and coconut trees when we woke up and feeling the breeze in the morning and at night. It was a great peaceful alternative to staying in central Ubud without being far away. I would love to stay here again the next time I'm in Ubud.

This cottage is an absolute dream and the side of Bali I envisioned when I booked my trip. Despite the lack of walls and AC, it was surprisingly easy to sleep with an ever-present breeze blowing throughout and the sound of the river just yards away. Perhaps even more surprisingly, at no point did I feel my possessions were unsafe. Whilst the cottage is just 5 minutes from Central Ubud, you really wouldn't know it, what with the cottage tucked away in a rice field. Wayan was extremely helpful too and breakfast was delicious each morning. I only wish we could've stayed longer!

Highly recomended, very nice place, peacefull, tidy, very good and friendly staffs and service. Defenetely wi come back again in the near future

We enjoyed our stay at bamboo Eco cottage amongst the paddy fields. Our host was very friendly and helpful, upon our arrival, they helped us with our baggage all the way to our cottage, as the walk in is quite a distance from the main road. Free coffee and tea and breakfast are provided upon request! The bed, toilet and room are really clean, and they come fitted with bug nets to keep the bugs away while we sleep. The wifi provided was really fast and reliable. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend people who loves nature and outdoors to give this a try.

Byl jsem zklamán tomto místě. To je docela drahé, na Bali a já čekal malý ráj v přírodním světě. Bydleli jsme v první chatě. Bylo to trochu hlučný v noci. Slyšeli jsme některé motocykly (z parkoviště u chaty pravděpodobně) a lidi kolem. Cesta k jiným chat se děje přímo kolem naší chatě, a protože neexistuje žádný dveře na chatě, ale mírným závěsem, který je úplně odtáhne vítr, je obtížné, aby soukromí. Zůstali jsme tam dvě noci. Každý večer jsme měli k výpadku elektrického proudu: ne více elektrické energie, nic víc Wi-Fi, a nic víc vody. Museli jsme jít druhý den ráno na recepci a ptát se a chvíli počkat na odškodnění. Toto místo bylo naše jediné zklamání v průběhu našeho 10 dní dovolené na Bali. Souhlasím scenérie je krásná, ale jsem očekával mnohem více za tuto cenu.

Dette sted er ud af byen :) Fra bambus hus til statuen er omkring 10-15 minutter gåtur, og hvis du ønsker at gå til Ubud palads, det er en anden 15 minutter. Ikke en dårlig gåtur. Sengen var store og bruseren er ok. Vandtrykket er ikke nok, og der er frøer støj hele natten lang (haha, selv der er én ved vasken). Det er et hus med ingen lås og kun gardiner. Det er temmelig sikkert som ingen uden ville komme i. Det er et godt sted at bo gang i et liv tid. Udsigten er fantastisk.

Como um belo bungalow! Realmente é exatamente como mostram as fotos dele e em uma localização isolada, bem no meio dos campos de arroz. Realmente bonito. As únicas pessoas que vimos durante a nossa estadia foram os agricultores locais eo casal se hospedar em sua casa na árvore outra de 100m de distância que tem que usar o caminho em frente para chegar ao seu alojamento. Para check-in, fomos recebidos na estrada principal e caminhou para o bangalô, que foi equipado com tudo o que precisávamos - tochas, água potável, toalhas, velas etc Eles também nos deu um telefone com um sim local em caso de precisarmos entrar em contato com los. A melhor coisa sobre ele é que ele se sente tão longe das ruas loucas de Ubud, mas na verdade é perto o suficiente para andar na cidade para jantar e fácil o suficiente para encontrar o caminho de volta no escuro. Sentimo-nos seguros e dormiu bem. O único ponto a ser mencionado é que os lençóis / travesseiros não cheirava muito fresco. Beakfast Tasty foi entregue na parte da manhã. Seria definitivamente recomendar para uma noite sob as estrelas, é uma experiência divertida e relaxante.

I was welcomed by Remy's brother and father since he was at the temple. His brother brought me to the Gunnung Kawi temple (the one I prefer). He knows very well the temple since he works there. Remy brought me to the ceremonies at night. It was incredible. Not a show for the tourist since I was the only one but for the gods. Like that for many days. His place, within the family house, is new, clean and they will do everything to make you feel at home. I will go back anytime.

I couldn't not have asked for a better experience, Remy and Made made me feel so welcome and comfortable in their home, I was part of the family, they answered any questions I had, taught me Indonesian and fed me amazing food everyday ! I felt like royalty, I was taken places tourists are not allowed- we went to a secret waterfall near the temple, I was also taken to the rice fields to watch the sunrise which was incredible ! I recommend to anyone to go there, the family are so nice and interested in you. I took part in family ceremonies and celebrations. They have an upstairs where they host guests so if you fancy some privacy you can chill up there, which has great views of Tampaksiring and surround banjar's ! Thank you so much Remy and Made !!!!!

Famille très accueillante et vous intègre rapidement à leurs rythme de vie, chambre propre avec vue sur la montagne

A perfect holiday in the heart of Bali. Waking up in this beautiful villa to the most glorious sunrise , delicious breakfast,a delight to the eye as well as the tastebuds. Strolling through the friendly village, dog at our side. Swimming in the river and climbing up the bank to discover our own century's old moss covered temple. Home across the rice fields for an hour long blissful massage. Sitting peacefully reading by the pool whilst Putri prepares the freshest most sumptuous feast. Wayan & Putri are the loveliest hosts. So proud of their amazing country. They took us to Temple ( where we were the only tourists ) and we were made to feel so welcome by the villagers. My daughter and I felt very safe as we walked off the beaten track, everyone we came across greated us with smiles. Wayan took us to so many outstandingly interesting and beautiful places. He was keen for us to understand his culture and really tailored the day out to suit our interests. It is impossible to put into words what a wonderful place Swallow Guest house ...just book it and find your own piece of paradise !

We spent 5 nights at the Swallow Guesthouse and really enjoyed our time there. Without a doubt Putri is the best cook in Bali, and I was very sorry that I missed out on getting a cooking lesson from the master herself! Wayan is very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and can assist you with anything you want to do on the island. We really enjoyed the trekking tour where we got to visit Wayan and Putri's family compound - it was one of our most special memories of Bali - and are really appreciative of them for allowing us that visit. Suzan was so helpful in the lead up to going, and we're glad we could help out by bringing some school supplies for her project. The whole Swallow Guesthouse team go out of their way to help and really make for a great experience!

The ideal place to start your Bali experience! Far from mass tourism, Wayan and his family help to appreciate the beautiful landscape and culture of central Bali. Drinking water from the tap is just one of the many things you don't have to worry about when staying here. Highly recommend!

The swallow guesthouse is the most beautifull artistic accomodation we have been. It is in a quiet area, away from tourism. Wayan loved to show us the real Bali and was very supportive. His wife Putri cooks the most amazing food like in a gourmet restaurant, but a little bit expensive for Bali. Ayu made us every morning a wonderfull breakfast. We felt like king and queen. It is only important to know, and it should be more clear in the advertising, that the other house from Suzan is next door and when it is booked, you share the place with other people a little bit like in a community.

We have travelled to Bali many times and have to say our stay at Swallows was a 'real Bali' experience of a lifetime! If you are looking for somewhere that can offer an experience rather than just a room to stay this is for you. The setting is amazing. Literally in the middle of the rice fields ( you need to walk a few hundred metres along a sealed path from the road) you are immersed in nature. The roosters and cows will wake you in the morning, you will likely have visits from frogs and geckos and the peaceful rice farming life will happen all around you. Wayan and Putri really are as wonderful as everyone says. They are incredibly welcoming, knowledgable and so very generous. During our stay there was a very significant ceremony day and when we showed interest in learning more they invited us to attend the ceremony at their temple. Not only that, they also arrived with traditional dress for our family! Putri's cooking class is great. I started the day with a pre dawn trip to the market with her to buy all of our ingredients for our session. Again, a 'real bali' experience - not a tourist to be seen. The class was well prepared and structured but so relaxed. Our 5 year old son was able to play in the pool and join in with us when he wanted to. I even took a break mid session to walk him to the the local warung for an ice cream. We then feasted on our creations which were super delicious! Suzan was also so generous with her time and knowledge. Suzan is very committed to local projects and charities and, at our request, organised a visit to a local orphanage and school where we delivered some books and supplies for them. Again it was a memorable experience. An impromptu morning walk, with Suzan and Pencoss the Swallow's dog, turned into one of the most special of my life. Relaxed exploring through the rice e fields with spectacular scenery all around, chatting to local farmers, visiting temples, marvelling at the wonder of the ancient irrigation system and soaking up the energy and essence of Bali. True bliss. So many adventure but also the perfect environment to just relax and enjoy the calm. Some things to note The Eco retreat is not sealed entirely from the outdoors. We did not have any problems with mosquitos but as mentioned earlier, did have visits from geckos and frogs. There is no air conditioning but it really wasn't needed. The fan provided kept us comfortable. They have a second villa on site and you share the Pool. We loved the occasional interaction with Suzan and another guest however if you want total privacy this set up may not suit you. The kitchen is open air and, as with every place we have stayed in Bali, there are ants. All the food is kept sealed or in the fridge...

What a great place to stay! The villa is NEW, gorgeous and in the best location if you're looking to experience REAL Bali. Surrounded by rice paddies. Food is the best you can find around the islands, the real taste (all organic and km0), and cooked with love. Both Suzan and Wayan are great people, and so is his family. I very much enjoyed my stay with them and cant wait to come back!

I have just had the most wonderful stay in Swallow House. Sitting in a ricefield all day meditating and journaling has been the nectar for my soul that I needed. With Wayan and Putri quietly doing their thing and having great intresting talks when in the mood has worked wonderfully. Wayan also thank you for driving me to different locations and showing me around, you are great company. Taking a nice swim in the pool a sunset or sitting in the "tower" overlooking the landscape of ricefields and trees - I could do a lot more of that. You have my warmest recommendations. I hope I can come back again some day.

It was a great moment for the two of us! The Swallow Guesthouse is not close to Ubud city center (7km/ 20 minutes by car) but Wayan took us by car. We loved Putri & Wayan welcoming: they are so kind and helpful! We discovered the region thanks to Wayan tour and explanations. Putri made us WONDERFUL meals and share with us her tips on Indonesian cuisine. It was a great journey and being in the middle of the rice fields was so peaceful. I definitely recommend this address!

This is a lovely place to stay in the tropical forest of Bali! It was so peaceful and the people were so nice.

We stayed DD Ubud villa for 2 days and everything was so amazing! If you love nature and would like to stay peaceful place, definitely I recommend you here. Especially bamboo hut was so cozy. We could enjoy our dinner outside of the hut with stunning view and slept with natural sounds. This place is close to rice terrace (5min by car). A bit remote from other places but they will provide car ride with reasonable price. (Actually it was a bit difficult to find uber from DD Ubud) In my opinion, it would be really great if it were possible to have hot water to fill the bathtub. However, just for taking a shower, we didn't have any problem:) Totally DD Ubud and all workers there were so nice and I would like to come back there again!! Ayumi The hosts are really friendly, welcome and always ready to help. They made our stay unforgettable. Olzhas

Great stay in the middle of the jungle, beautiful!!! You don't have to be afraid of all little animals living in the jungle too ;) Romantic, quiet and unforgettable (20 minutes to Ubud by scooter/car). Breakfast is simple but fine. Staff is very nice and helpful, they can help you with trekkings and taxi's.

WOW!!! This place was everything I expected and more. The stuff were simply so kind and helpful. They provided pick up from the airport for a small cost. Kindly made arrangements after our flight was delayed. Greeted us with open arms and provided us with anything we needed. The stuff member who picked us up, took us to a coffee plantation on the way to the villa, which was amazing! The stuff made sure we enjoyed every moment there. They helped plan our tours, set up massages for us (they were to die for), and were so ready to help provide necessities when our luggage didn't arrive with us. The villas look just like the pictures! The cook put their foot in it! Food was amazing, try the grill chicken & pancakes. We had the pool to our selves every time we went. We saw other visitors periodically and it was a joy to see them. What more can I say? It was overall a 10/10. the experience staying in the jungle was bliss. Thank you so much DD Villa. I will come back soon.

AMAZING!!! Seriously this place is a hidden gem. Close enough to Ubud to get back and forth for cheap and they have 2 free shuttles every day. The entire staff is incredibly helpful and thoughtful. The rooms were amazing. Exactly how you picture Bali to be. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone! Thanks Wayan and the entire DD Ubud Villa team for a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay here, very quiet in the jungle

This place is awesome. Tucked away in a jungle setting, just fresh air and the calm sounds of nature. Great place to get away and decompress. Stayed in the bamboo villa, which had a cool outdoor bathroom, and a large patio area to chill. Staff was super friendly. Beautiful landscaping. I would definitely stay here again.

Our bamboo hut in the jungle was simply a dream. If you are looking for the most quiet, tranquil and relaxing place, not too far away from the bustle of Ubud, this is perfect. There are different level of where the bungalows are located, the bamboo hut (the only bamboo one all the others are wood) was all the way at the bottom: perfect for privacy and for the uttermost quiet but has quite a few steps to go up and down. Other bungalows are located on higher levels so easier to reach. But all of them are literally surrounded just by the jungle. Our bungalow was a great size, with a front patio and a wonderful open air bathroom, where you can bath under the stars in the huge stone bathtub, that can comfortably fit two!There's a cute little infinity pool, and a really good complimentary breakfast, more than satisfying. The view is breathtaking, with just the sound of nature and of a nearby river. They offer free shuttle service to Ubud three times a day, but we opted to rent a scooter to explore the area. Ubud is approximately 15 minutes away. Highly recommend it!

Cannot say enough good things about Villa Rimba and Miguel. It was nice being tucked away in a small village in the jungle. Getting to and from Ubud was easy and fun on the scooter. Cultural experiences and sight seeing are nearby. Miguel makes things so easy for his guests from getting to/from the airport, renting scooter, laundry, food, places to go, things to see, favorite restaurants list and yoga. Highly recommend staying here and I would come back to stay here again. 1 week in the area is not enough time!

Villa Rimba merupakan tempat bagi anda yang menginginkan tempat dengan nuansa alam yang jauh dari kebisingan kota. Sangat cocok bagi pasangan yang berencana untuk tinggal di daerah Ubud. Villa Rimba memiliki dua kamar bagi pengunjung dan satu kamar milik host, Miguel. Kamar yang kami tempati sangat menakjubkan. Ukuran kamar tergolong luas dengan dilengkapi fasilitas layaknya hotel bintang 3. Memiliki outdoorshower serta bathtub besar dengan view hutan yang lebat. Suara2 hewan di hutan menemani kami sepanjang hari, khususnya di saat malam. Kami tidak memerlukan AC dalam kamar tersebut, karena udara di sana sudah cukup dingin. Di area atas kami dapat menikmati kolam renang yang cukup luas dengan view yang tidak kalah indah. Miguel sangat ramah, dan selalu siap melayani kebutuhan kami selama kami tinggal di sana. Terkadang dia memang tidak tinggal di sana, tetapi dia memiliki beberapa orang, salah satunya Kadek, yang siap membantu kami. Akses menuju Villa Rimba memang tergolong sulit, dengan jalan kecil berkelok, serta naik-turun, mengingat yang lokasinya memang terletak di tengah hutan. Namun, lokasi ini cukup strategis apabila anda berencana untuk mengeksplor keindahan alam Ubud dan sekitarnya. Dengan berkendara ke utara dengan waktu tempuh sekitar 40menit, anda dapat mengeksplor daerah Kintamani. Lovely Place and Superhost!

Wonderful Place, very well organised. Miguel was very attentive and helped us with every little Problem we had and gave good advice. The House is beautiful and I would recommend it to everyone !

A stunning location in the heart of the jungle. Miguel was a fantastic host - friendly, helpful, flexible with our changed travel plans. We hope to be back!

A mini paradise,for me a reminder of the old Bali I once knew, unpolluted by hawkers and motorbikes. The birdsong, vibrancy of the jungle,buzzing and healing,beautiful butterflies.A fantastic place to do a personal retreat or take time out. The 2 abodes are very private & simply but tastefully furnished, both on the bottom terrace overlooking jungle. The outdoor bath is a treat. ..and of course plenty of mosquitoes...the tv is not connected, thank goodness, but could watch a DVD if you ever tired of the view. The middle terrace has such a beautiful infinity pool overlooking bush. The top terrace has the owners cottage as pictured on the site and the communal open terrace feels luxurious and spacious and has WIFI. Full galley kitchen, very comfortable sofas and another area with tables and chairs for dining. Simple,spacious and elegant. Miguel is charming, helpful and discreet. This does not feel like a money making enterprise but more a a gift from someone who is offering to share his dream and thoughful creation which blends so well with its magical landscape. Please respect it. Two lovely full time workers are there in the background tending the garden, sweeping leaves, keeping the pool and premises pristine. There are no restaurants or shops nearby, just two very traditional villages. You will need a bike or car to get around. Its very hilly terrain,the road is very narrow but there are places to walk. The villagers are shy but respond to a friendly smile and greeting.

The villa was 30_40 min from ubud center. The host responded well but couldn't give prompt assistance when I struggled to find the villa in a cab because she is not around the villa. The room spacious and surrounded real jungle nature and including outside showel and bath. You can hear the sound of animal and nature. Also the pool is spacious and enjoyable to swim in calmness green trees. One thing i dissapointed at first night the electricity was suddenly turn off in darkness in rain. I was alone in the room over an hour,I felt so frightened. I was trying to contact someone but helpless because the room was out of wify or any internet connection phone connection, either. Recommended for a couple or group traveler. But those whom enjoy the environment and real nature of ubud it is suitable to stay. Also the room is well equipped but the bed sheet got wet ,so i can't sleep well. I guess it's because of the climate and closed door inside.

Die Anreise ist etwas schwierig, da nur eine sehr schmale, kurvige und bergige Straße hinführt. Aber die Anlage ist sehr schön mit einem tollen Pool und Blick über den Wald. Man sollte nicht zu ängstlich sein, da alle möglichen Waldbewohner auch mal in der Anlage auftauchen können. Wer mal Ruhe vom Trubel sucht, ist hier richtig.

You will be glad you booked Villa Rimba! It is about 30 minuted North of Ubud in the middle of & over looking the jungle. It is very quite unlike Ubud where you constantly hear traffic and roosters :) Miguel was out of town during my stay but he was in contact via messaging to check on me and organized my pick up with his driver at the airport. He had a lovely friend who was over seeing the property for him & he was a great support during my stay. I would highly recommend this property for your Ubud stay, it is a unique experience in the "Real Bali" and perfect to relax & be a part of nature.. literally :) The shower & bath are outdoors which was comical at times due to animals nibbling on my soap at night and tiny frogs enjoying the shower with me ;) If you are staying long term I would recommend renting a motorbike otherwise everyone has a driver in Bali. It is affordable, safe & easy for your stay. Thank you Miguel! I will be back :)

Herzliche Begrüßung trotzdem wir sehr verspätet angekommen sind (Mitternacht). Quartier entsprach der Beschreibung, familiäre Atmosphäre in gepflegter Garten/Haustempelanlage. Der Gastgeber Ida ist ein wunderbarer Fremdenführer der uns die balinesische Kultur näher gebracht hat. Angenehm ruhig bis auf lokale Naturnebengeräusche. Wir haben die Tage dort sehr genossen.

Here are the positives about Surya: They made every attempt to get a hold of me, they were even concerned about their guest and making sure everything went good. Unfortunately, the flight had taken longer than expected, and upon my arrival I ended up getting really sick and had to stay with the city near available medicine. I underestimated the distance of their location from the airport. And ended up getting lost. Needless to say I wasn't able to connect with the family during the week I booked with them. After they found out I was sick, I stopped hearing from them. In conclusion, had everything gone smoothly I am sure that I would have been greeted warmly by the family. And been treated with a huge welcome. And hopefully whenever I am able to make it back I to Bali, I would make arrangements to stay with this family again. Also, I do hope to be able to get in touch with the family about being able to have a credit for the money paid and time not used. Thank You Sincerely, Coop

This place is amazing! I really felt at home there, it's an important highlight of my trip in Bali. First, it's even better than on the pictures, when you see it for real you won't be able to believe it. Second, you have a whole "house-room" for yourself with a brand new personal toilet/shower. Third, Aji and Ibu (Surya's parents) are lovely and caring. Aji is very funny, he's someone you need to meet, he's going to change your life for the best. Surya is amazing, very very helpful and kind, I don't know what I would've done without him. And finally, there are a bunch of tiny very cute baby chicken they keep, and a small cat that kept coming to my door. Tampaksiring is a lovely place to stay. The road from there to Ubud is truely beautiful with all the rice fields and the locals that keep smiling and saying hello to you. It's THE place for fine bonecarving (which is cheaper there than in Ubud). It is also home to the great Gunung Kawi and the house is right by a gigantic rice field, filled with fireflies at night and that offers a great view of mtAgung in the day. I would highly recommand this place because I sincerely think it's the best one you can get in Bali.

The totally best home-stay at Bali! It was such a great stay a familiar atmosphere. Surya and his father were that nice and did everything for our best. At first we didn't find their home-stay with our motor bike but Surya picked us up. We were welcomed with balinese coffee and tee. Our room was a little one but absolutely enough for my girlfriend and me and it was really good cleaned. When I got sick with fever Surya droves with me to the hospital just to be sure that it's not a dangerous one. This home-stay is just the best one if you want to join real balinese life and see how nice and gorgeous people can be - far away from mass tourism.

Surya and his parents were both very welcoming and helpful. The little guide Surya prepared for his guests ist outstanding and also very helpful. Apart from that, it was a pleasure for me to spend time talking to Surya's father and witnessing his experience and knowledge on history was also very interesting. I hope all thebest for Surya family, and hope to see them again in Tampaksiring.

Staying within the family was really nice experience. Everything was as expected, so we left very satisfied. Also the breakfast was great and appreciated. The location is not so great on one hand (as temples are quite far, 15 and 30 minutes walking distance), but on the other hand the complex of rice fields is just behind the house. It was not problem for us, so we really enjoyed the time spent in Tampaksiring. I fully recommend staying there.

Great place to experience both the beauty of the nature and the simplicity of the balinese life.

I stayed for 4 days at Surya's house, which was a great choice. Since my arrival, I could already feel the great atmosphere and the welcoming and generous manner I was going to be treated. Surya picked me up in Ubud and took me to his house in Gianyar. We spent quite a lot of time in conversations and he was very open to talk about his culture with me. The house was really nice. Clean and beautiful. Every day I would wake up and walk down the road to the street market. There's also a massive rice field, right behind his house, which is recognised and preserved by the UNESCO. If you really want to immerse yourself in the Balinese culture, you won't regret staying a few days at Surya's house.

I could not tollerate this place more than 18 hours, though i had booking to stay for 5 nights. There was no water in pool and insufficient amount in bathroom which was not informed when i made my booking. The room had a ceiling fan which was noisy and i could count rpm at fastest speed. Despite water issue I wanted to stay but was put off by the aggressive stray dogs around the place as well absence of any decent place to eat in the near vicinity. Overall very horrible experience which cost lot of money. I guess i went with lot of expectations without realising that though it is advertised as Manjero Resort, Cool Mountain (URL HIDDEN) IS NOT A RESORT. IT IS A HOME STAY.

Ketut and his wife Adriana welcomed us in a traditional Balinese courtyard house built around a compound with garden in the middle of the family. The guest house itself is one part dedicated, made of 2 rooms and bathrooms nicely decorated with the handicraft of the island. Ketut et son epouse Adriana nous ont accueilli au seins d'une demeure traditionnelle balinaise batie sur une cour interieure, ou chacun des membres disposent de sa maison. La maison d'hote elle meme, est une maison dediee faite de 2 chambres et une salle de bains tres joliment decoree de l'artisanat local. Ketuy y su esposa nos ha alojado en una casa tipica balinera donde vive la familia, esta construida traditionalmente de un patio y un jardin al lado del templo familiar. El patio esta rodeado de casitas donde una esta dedicada al alojamiento de los invitados.

We travel 6 days in Bali but what we remember the most is everything related to this villa. We stay in another villa at Umalas like living a box with fence in the first 4 days :( Luckly for us, in the last 2 day at this villa, we have what we expect in Bali: intensive relax in quiet jungle, enjoy delicous Balinese foods cooked by staff, experiencing local life & excursions to the nearby villages/temples and lastly but very important: super hospitality from Graeme & his staff. We have friendly chat/drinks over nights. They help to organize Birthday Party at villa with lovely custumes and cake. We rent staff bike to tour neighbor villages. Very useful team and it saves lot of money as well. What I love here the most: each room has each own architecture with Balinese deco items, a big space in front of our bed room to overlook the valley. All of them are well set up by professional & experienced architect. We will contact you when get back Bali. Regret not stay longer this time but we will come back, highly recommend to anybody, honest!

I am BACK!!... like I said I would. Was picked up from airport by Malashree staff and it hasn't been a month since the last time I stayed here. The cool air is therapeutically fantastic minus the mosquitoes. Jay the owner actually took my previous review complain seriously that shower was just too quick for a shower and actually fix this problem. I can now take a long long hot shower (it's important cos I am staying in cool mountain place). Kudos Jay. One thing to add...I will be back again in November. See you guys :)

Мы очень рады, что побывали в этом загадочном месте! Остались на более долгий срок чем хотели! Невероятный дизайн, атмосфера, дружелюбность владельцев и персонала, природа вокруг, вкуснейшая еда! Мы будем долго вспоминать это гостеприимное место ) спасибо, вы навсегда в наших сердцах!!) We are very pleased visited this mysterious place! Stayed longer than thinking! Incredible design, the atmosphere, the friendliness of the owners and staff, the nature around, delicious food! We will long remember this wonderful place) thanks

Staying in Malashree is one of the best travel experiences we ever had! Started with great communication with Idris to arriving (picking us up and welcome drink) and taking is to beautiful place where we felt like at our own home... Jay and his staff helped is a lot with planning the rest of our trip, they took us to watch typical cock fighting, they arranged bicycles for us, they gave us a ride to Amed and much more... Our only regret is that our stay was far too short!

A very homely and charmingly unique home retreat resort located 30 mins away from Ubud's city centre. Each room is intricately designed and decorated with unique things, right up to the bathrooms! Equipped with facilities such as pool and barbeque area. What we loved about this home retreat is that it has a nice mix of a homely 'kampong' (or village) feel + a quirky modern touch to it. Jay and his friendly staff provided excellent service from the day we arrived. We were even greeted by their cute guard dog! There's also a cat and three fluffy rabbits there - perfect place for animal lovers! (and even if you're not!) A highly recommended home retreat if you're planning to stay in this area! We'll definitely be back again!

We spent our last 3 days in Bali here, it was such a great place to relax and unwind. The fresh water pool, our beautiful private room, bathroom, kitchenette and lounging area were all perfect. We also had all our meals prepared for us for such a reasonable price. Jay is a great cook and a wonderful host.

Yes I felt welcome at ease immediately. The staff was friendly and attentive.

READ THIS TOTALLY! The house What Jay and Idris created is absolutely stunning. They started from nothing followed their dream to create this beautiful special place on a wonderful location in Bali and Now with the results of a house with heart and soul. You just Cannot believe your eyes when you enter this place. You Will be warm welcomed with the most wonderful people of Bali, they Will be your friends after 1 minute. All the rooms of the place have their own identity with lost of creativity and space to be and feel home. It is better than the pictures! You don't need Any tours. To stay at this place is enough. We liked to have a chat, walk around, and draw. This place gives a lot of inspiration for you to bring home. You can take the scooter and easily go to Ubud, and the little village. Tampaksering is Nice located in a beautiful valley, lots of green and locals. WiFi works Well, breakfast very Nice, people are fantastic, swimminpool is Nice and cool, and If you are cold Jay and Idris Will have a special costume so you never Will be cold again. This AirBnB was the most special from Bali, as we visited many AirBnB places during our one month Bali trip. Stop searching, and just go here, you Will experience the heart and soul of this place!

A wonderful villa - secluded but close to the center of Tampak Siring, full of natural light and clean air. My family and I travel around the island. We left from the hot beaches in the coolness of the jungle. We found this wonderful place near to the temple of holy spring water. We lived in the three comfortable wooden houses in a tropical garden. Really liked the sauna and jacuzzi - warmed us after the cool holy spring - Tirta Empul Excellent large kitchen with a big table could accommodate our family of 7 people. The host was very helpful and all the amenities were spotless. We truly enjoyed our stay! The place is in a great location we felt quiet and secluded when you are in the house, overlooking the jungle and tropical forest.

Wonderful, true Balinese place. Tugged away in nature, friendly staff

We really liked this place because it was beautiful and clean and close to the temples. It's also exactly as pictured. Tampaksiring the town it's in is cute. The only issue we had was transportation. We got tired of walking on foot to the temples and the Warung and the mini market. Olga was very helpful. When I needed a phone card, she brought it to the hotel. The temples are beautiful, especially Tirta Empul and Mengening. Bring a bathing suit and towel to Mengening and go to Tirta Empul early to avoid crowds.

It's very relaxing and quiet Villa. It's hard to get up early in the morning because its comfortness. I like to stay in this Villa so much. Unfortunately due to my field work, i only enjoy the villa started at 6 p.m when the worker got off and gone home. You should maintain your Villa more carefully by cleaning it from every corner. We still could not figure it out how to turn on the Jacuzzi until the last day. The sauna was great ! The bathroom was lively and so fresh, heater was good, bathtub good but little bit dirty, i have to clean it by myself. Overall it's worth it to stay in this Villa !

Joli petit hotel composé d'appartements individuels, à flanc de colline, offrant une vue splendide sur la jungle. Notre appartement était spacieux et bien aménagé. Seul manquait quelques équipements dans la cuisine. PS : le coin piscine est très sympa.

Where to start? We arrived a little later than we originally had planned, yet we were greeted with big smiles nonetheless. We were offered dinner, and a refreshing and healthy smoothie that was delivered to our room. Speaking of the room... W O W. An entire wall of windows that looked out on to the big, beautiful treetops of Bayad. The location is so secluded that every night we went to sleep surrounded by only the sound of birds and crickets. It was peaceful beyond explanation. Breakfast was fresh every morning (we extended our stay by 3 days, I should mention) and if you feel like experiencing the true essence of the location, you can organize a 3-hour tour through the jungle, led by an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide. I've never met more wonderful, welcoming, warm human beings in my life. On the second day, we asked Ketut if he could help us arrange to be married... here's the best part: not only did he help us, he and his wife along with numerous other members of their big and beautiful family organized EVERYTHING. They made it so easy for us. Long of the short - this little hidden piece of paradise is worth its weight in gold. I would come back every single year if I could. After one night, you'll see what I mean!

Ketut's little ressort is a wonderful place and worth visiting. You can explore the surroundings down the river by foot and is a good place to start bigger tours all around Ubud, Mount Batur and many more. The Villa was clean, tidy and in good shape. In the middle of the jungle overlooking the trees. The service and served food was great! Ketut and his familiy where great hosts and very experienced in helping you to enjoy the calmer side of Bali to the fullest.

Although there was confusion as to our arrival time - our fault totally - Wayan made us feel so welcome. We were in need of a peaceful, non-tourist space and Parwati was ideal. Surrounded by rice fields and jungle with only the sound of nature around us, we felt we had found paradise. We slept soundly with all the outdoor sliding doors open, we walked, swam in the delightful pool, and had one full day exploring Mt Batur etc with the excellent driver Wayan organised for us. 2 places we would strongly recommend visiting - the volcano Geopark museum at Mt Batur and a mask museum in Ubud, established by a private individual from Jakarta - a superb collection of masks. Each evening Wayan organised for us to order our dinner from a local restaurant, which was delivered to our room. Fabulous and cheap food. The website description was perfect - we recommend Parwati and Wayan and her wonderful staff 100% - not forgetting the lovely owners. If you are in need of your batteries being charged, this is the place to go.

Beautiful quiet villa - if you are looking for peace, you will find it there. There's a beautiful 4-5 min path that you walk each time you come to/leave the villa, through the ricefields, where you can admire the sunset every morning. So calm, and peaceful. The confort was just perfect, right in the middle of nature, but with all you need to fully enjoy it. Highly recommend this place 3

We were welcomed by a driver at the airport who took us to the villa. Once at the villa staff were there to carry our luggage down the narrow path through the rice field. Our first night, we walked into a nearby village our first night greeted by friendly villagers who were preparing for one of the many ceremonies unique to each village. We honored their privacy, but later in the week during the Independence Day celebration we were welcomed into villages to watch their festivities.

Très bon accueil, les photos sont fideles à la réalité. La proprio est très attentive à votre confort et bien être. On a adoré l'ambiance nature au milieu des rizières. Il est bon d'avoir son moyen de locomotion car assez excentré, mais c'est ce qui nous a plu. Une vrai cabane entre forêt et rizière. Accès un peu sportif car le chemin fait 40 cm de large. Respect également de votre intimité. Cuisine bienvenue pour le petit dej.

We made super last minute booking (for the same day) and despite this everything has been arranged perfectly - the room, pick up from Jimbaran, scooters waiting for us at the time of arrival. The place is stunning! In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by rice fields but easily accessible. People working here and living around are super nice. You need to see the bathroom, it's the most beautiful one I've ever seen. I highly recommend staying at this place with one note only: it's quite noisy at night (we had a room at a pond) as frogs are starting their night life right after twilight. So if a frog party is nothing what can disturb you then it's fine, otherwise I'd advise other room than the one at the pond;)

My partner and I enjoyed our stay. The bathroom is absolutely beautiful, and the bed was very comfortable. We were enjoyed seeing all the wildlife, and were pleased to be greeted one morning by a very friendly little cat! However, the location is far from town, so if you are wanting to go to Ubud town center everyday, just know it will cost extra every time you arrange for a driver. The staff do not speak English very well, so if you have any questions I would recommend to call the host directly. Illuh and Loly spoke very good English and were always happy to help with anything we needed. We absolutely loved our driver Dewa! He was very friendly and kind, chatted a lot with us in the car and answered any of our questions about Bali. He taught us how to say "thank you" and "your welcome" in Balinese and told us about the Hindu religion. The food at Rahasia Manis was okay, but I would recommend eating elsewhere. Nothing was served to us steaming hot. And my partner ended up with some bad food poisoning after eating Mahi Mahi. If you want to eat on-site, eat vegan!

Its a lovely quiet place with nice gardens if you are looking for somewhere away from the crowds.

Great villa. Spacious, clean and atmospheric. Set amidst beautiful rice fields and blissfully isolated for a relaxing getaway. Pool nice for a dip and staff helpful. Lovely to drift to sleep to the sounds of frogs each night :) the nearest village with a restaurant and shops is about 20 minutes walk away.
