The only negative was the roosters, but then again this is everywhere in Bali. Just come prepared with headphones/ ear plugs.

I loved that the room was very clean. Big bed and spacious bathroom with a nice storage rack. Loved that it was a part of their home, you feel like you are a part of the family. It’s a little bit of a walk from the main center but not bad if you enjoy walking. Streets aren’t too busy to walk anyway

We really enjoyed staying with Made and his wife. It was great to have someone answer our questions about Bali and explain all that was new to us. The 2 rooms are modern, new, large and clean, the beds very comfortable. They sit separate on the property which is quietly situated a few rows from the main street. We also booked Made for a day-tour, - one of the highlights of our Bali-trip! We visited the rice terraces, a waterfall and the Besakih temple. His English is sufficient and his knowledge about culture and plants is great. The meals Made's wife cooked for us were very tasty. What we enjoyed most was the welcoming atmosphere and that they offered us some insight into balinese culture. Would totally stay with them again.

A real gem! Definitely the best home stay in Bali. The room is so nice and cozy, bed was comfy and everything is super clean. What made a real difference is the kindness of Made & Putu, we felt welcomed and loved our stay here. The food is enak sekali and Ginger itu lucu!

The short steep slope from the roadway to the lane which led to the property.

Made and Putu were very friendly hosts and made us feel welcome guests. Putu's meals were good, we really loved the breakfast pancakes and fresh fruit. Our room was comfortable, looking out onto attractive gardens.

Nothing. It was perfect.

We had 3 nights wonderful nights with Made & Putu. The food was delicious. Made went out of his way to shows us the highlights of the area. He took us to a Silver Class which we loved. They both made our stay so memorable and we hope to return one day. Highly recommend this Homestay.

Lovely hosts who were extremely accommodating. They took us out to the rice fields, and had a scooter we hired. The food was traditional Balinese and absolutely beautiful. They always went above and beyond giving us extras, the Balinese cakes were amazing. Room was very modern and comfy, we only stayed for 2 nights but wish we were there longer!

The place is amazing and Made and Putu are lovely. Made took us for a visit of the rice terraces 🥰

Staying with Made and Putu was a wonderful experience. It is a great place to unwind and experience the real Bali in a family compound in rural Bali. Made and Putu are wonderfully warm and welcoming hosts and have made the experience a truly memorable one.

My stay at Made Putu Homestay was exactly what I was looking for: a glimpse into a real Balinese home and the hosts Made and Putu made it even more exceptional. So much so that I ended up extending it for one more night! I arrived early in the evening and they welcomed me with open arms. I stayed for dinner that night (which was delicious) and they kept me company as I was traveling solo. They are genuine about wanting to get to know their guests (only two rooms which makes it even more intimate like if you were staying at family house) while still giving you your own privacy. Through them, I was able to understand the Balinese culture from a local point of view from the nourishing and delicious meals to the excursions they took me on (rice fields, Besakih Temple, Tirta Gangga, waterfalls, etc) I could not have more please with my stay. The location was also amazing, in the center of the village and walking distance to the market, restaurants, the rice trekking with breath-taking views of Mount Agung, silver jewelry workshops. They will also help you with traveling to your next destination by either driving you or arranging a car. I can only recommend it!

The roosters, can wake you up but we had no big problems.

Everything. This is one of the best places in Bali. Compared to some other accommodations, this was just perfect. Super clean, huge room and huge private bathroom with nice design, delicious food for breakfast and dinner. Made & Putu are incredibly nice. If you look for authentic homestay and hoping for great quality at the same time, this is the place. I wish we booked more nights, there is so much to do in Sidemen, also for a better price than in more touristy destinations, we could really use our time here. Next time hopefully!

Nothing

We felt welcome from the first moment and the owners made our stay memorable. Terima kasih! It is a home stay, so all food is home made. If you like, you have your own privacy / two rooms with a terrace are in a different house - but a part of a beautiful garden. If you are interested, many tips what to see around shared, you can rent a motorbike for a reasonable price and also any transfer can be offered. So it is a great help. Great location - in the centre, very nice garden to enjoy breakfast, food or just a drink. Facilities are new and clean; comfortable bed.

Very nice, clean and quiet room a short walk from the centre of Sideman. Made and Putu were extremely kind and went out of their way to make us feel welcome, introducing us to local foods and taking us to the local temples. We also have a walk in the rice fields and took a cooking class with them, both of which were very good.

really lovely and peaceful room, staff are so kind and go above and beyond. Well priced activities available. I had a great time and felt very safe.

I stayed 4 nights with Made and Putu, it was the perfect place after staying in Kuta for a couple of days. Sidemen is a nice small town with only a few tourists. Made and Putu were amazing hosts and I really enjoyed staying with them. We went to local ceremonys, the rice fields and the waterfall. It is so special to go there with locals, you get to see more and different places then you would see just as a tourist on your own. Also the breakfast and dinner I had at their place were amazing! It's one of the smaller and really local homestays, so perfect if you want to get to know the real Sidemen. Hope to come back one day!

Everything is just perfect. It felt like as if we would stay with our family. The warmth and love of the hosts is just exceptional, the cleanliness, the spacious room, the location, the beautiful nature and many more just made our trip unique. We had a cooking class with the hosts Made & Putu, went to the rice fields together, could borrow their scooter and we always got extras for breakfast and lunch. Made & Putu have a special place in our hearts and we will come back soon!

Nothing. It was an amazing experience.

This was one of the best accommodation experiences I have ever had. As a solo traveller, I have never felt more welcomed or looked after. Made and Putu are the perfect hosts and the warmest Indonesians I have met. Despite us speaking two different languages, we conversed, and laughed, and they looked after me. Putu is a phenomenal cook and I felt right at home. The room is within their property yet private and entirely self-contained. If you want alone time, you can have it. Equally, if you want to immerse yourself with the family, there is a small outdoor kitchen dining area. The room itself was uncluttered, modern and pristinely clean (and I’m picky!). The sheets and linen were fresh and the bathroom was also modern and super clean. The shower was better and more consistent in pressure and temperature than the four star resort I’ve just come from and paid triple the cost for in Ubud. Sidemen is a magical village and the Bali I always dreamed of experiencing. Made Putu is in the perfect spot, right between the village and market and the new cafes and villas. They let me borrow their scooter but it’s no more than a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the village markets, or the newer cafes. I will be back in July….. I just wish I stayed longer! If you want to experience authentic Bali, this is exactly where you need to book. Terimakasih! ❤️❤️

Loved the location in a small town. The homestay was on a family compound, and the family was absolutely lovely! They gave us clothes to use for a temple visit and also an offering. When we had dinner there they gave us some free extra's, and it seems they just did that because they wanted us to experience local food. Also, the dinner was tasty and cheap!

The room was so clean and spacious! The best part was the couple that owns it who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The provided me with a scooter to rent, took me on a tour of the rice terraces, and let me borrow traditional clothes to visit the temple. The food was also amazing! I only wish I stayed longer.

That we only booked two nights! We wanted to stay here for our entire time in Sidemen but they were already booked out..

Everything! Biggest, cleanest room I've stayed in. Made & Putu are great hosts, they are welcoming and warm and so helpful. The breakfast was filling and came with extras. They offer a small, fresh menu for lunch and dinner. You can do a rice trek with Made and rent a scooter and traditional gear from them for the temples. Central location, close to the touristy restaurant and town area and the local shops.
