Everything was perfect, honestly best value for money on our trip on Lombok / Bali. Great rooms and incredible service! The owner and staff were very friendly :)

Perhaps the arrival area could be tidied up to improve the experience (but could be work in progress) Suggest that also some information in the rooms would be helpful.

Very good location for Rice Terrace walk, with the entry less than 5 minutes walk away. Next to a beautiful Eco resort, which overlooks the river, which we ate at a couple of times. Great value for money, clean, very good aircon and bed.Good breakfast. Easy walk to local warungs.

Really clean and comfortable room. Walking distance to some restaurants and the sideman rice terraces.

Given the location in the middle of nature, it’s good to be aware that insects – especially ants – can sometimes find their way into the room.

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation is very well equipped, and the beds are extremely comfortable. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Maybe they should have A/C

Everything, and also Marta, was really helpful and nice to us. He took care of my friend being sick from Bali belly. Also he cooked delicious pancakes for us. Always smiling such a good and lovely person

For travellers on a budget, we really hit the jackpot with this place! Loka Amertha was listed at a cheap price, but there was no compromise on comfort or cleanliness :-) Furthermore, the staff went out of their way to accommodate and help us whenever possible. Loved the activities they offered like the Balinese cooking class too. Would definitely book again if coming back to Sidemen!

Staff is extremely kind, trying to accomodate everything for you. Peaceful stay away from the noise - next to a river and hidden in trees. Great breakfast. Beautiful room and bathroom, spacious and clean. Tea and coffee available with a kettle and mini fridge. Beautiful view from the bed on the garden.

I cant think of something.

Family owned guest house. Looks even more beautiful than on the pictures. Lovely cottages. Big bathroom. A nice breakfast and friendly staff willing to help with all sorts of questions: from small things to organising rafting. Walking distance from the Sidemen rice walk. Some nice resturants close by. Very green surroundings.

a) No ACs. The fans provided did not do much when the mosquito nets were down. Made it very hot and stuffy in the night, especially as they provided duvets b) Lack of plug points in the room - there is only one plug point near the bed- either the bedside lamp or the phone charger - you choose. The other plug point was for fridge and kettle and fan. However, on one room, the kettle had to be switched on below the study table (crawl below the table, plug in and switch on). c) Dogs - the property has 2 pet dogs however, these are not properly tamed and the night staff are not able to control them well. They came barking at us quite badly and were snapping at my daughter and also the staff when we returned in the night. We messaged the property about this, and though the same thing happened the next night, they had added another staff who was better able to handle the dogs though it was not an ideal situation.

Staff were nice, views were amazing, place was very clean. Breakfast was good and they accommodated gluten free requests which was very kind of them. They organised taxis at very reasonable costs (we cross checked with other providers).

It was super nice Dodi the owner was such a good guide and made us discover sidemen with a lot of passion and joy!!!

Stayed in March 2025

Room didn't have A/C at the time we stayed but they moved a 2nd fan into the room which did the trick.

The very best thing was the the staff. It is run by Dodi and his family. Food was really good from a small choice. They helped with information, tours and connections. Very friendly, family atmosphere. No pool but a little walk up the hill was a hotel where we used their pool as we had a meal there. Very short walk to the Rice field route.

It was very hot during our 6 day stay, so a/c would have been great. The fan provided was ok, but not really enough for a comfortable night. The owners did mention it will be installed in 2025 :)

Great location, with a wonderful staff, close to a beautiful rice field! The cabin is very cozy, all made of wood, with a gorgeous bathroom that included a rainfall shower and a bathtub 🛀. Bed was comfortable and breakfast delicious! Porch very enjoyable too.

What a wonderful location and wonderful hosts. A cabin in a little valley with a rice paddy in front and every exotic fruit you can imagine planted and grown by the owner. The cooking class was hard work cooking in the traditional way but he results was definitely worth it. Chopping, grinding spices, onions, chicken in mortal and pestle and BBQing over a fire of coconut shells. A lot of the ingredients came from the garden. One of the best dinners ever and we cooked it ourselves (with a bit of help)

Everything was great. The only thing I found a bit dangerous is the kettle in my room had a broken lid and wouldn't stop when water was boiling. I nearly burnt my hand the first time I used it as I wasn't aware. Forgot to mention to staff, sorry.

Everything was much better than expected. Such a lovely peaceful corner of the world. I loved the spacious room with big windows allowing sun rays to come in as the sun sets down. Just a magical place taken from a fairy tale with the sound of the river running and the rice terraces just a short walk away. There's an amazing Warung 10 min walk up the road where I had the best meal in Bali. I went back the day after. EcoResort restaurant is literally next door with yummy food and beautiful river surroundings. I extended my stay and still considered extending again. Thanks Ayu and the rest of the team for an amazing quite and lovely stay. I absolutely loved the semi open air shower. Couldn't feel any closer to nature.

At Loka Amertha we experienced the hospitality and surroundings of the "old Bali" we had heard about in our travels. The wood cabin with small rice field in front had a down to earth charm and you could hear the nearby river. Breakfast was excellent and the owners very friendly and accommodating. Dodi took us on a beautiful sunrise trek above Sideman to view the valley at first light and surprised us with coffee and snacks. We then spent several hours walking the lush rice fields, followed by a delicious homemade lunch at his cousin's family compound. We later enjoyed a waterfall with several pools to swim in, then a fascinating visit to a local weaving factory. Dinner is not served at Loka Amertha but there is a very good restaurant within easy walking distance beside the roaring river that is part of a nearby resort. With that and everything else taken care of by Dodi and his family, we had an unforgettable "real Bali" experience in Sideman and would love to return some day!
