Reviews of Made Putu homestay

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

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

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 room was very clean and peaceful. The hosts were kind and helpful, and the place felt calm and welcoming

Nothing major. Everything was as expected.

We had a great stay at Made Putu. The rooms are spacious and clean. There is the option to have breakfast, dinner and lunch. The food is great. The hosts are really nice. We did a day trip (rice fields, waterfall, temple) with them and had an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend staying here.

Nothing. All perfect.

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.

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

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.

Nothing. It was perfect.

The homestay is well located in Sidemen, in a pleasant and quiet setting. The room is spacious, and the breakfast served was of good quality.

I do not recommend organizing your transfers with the homestay. After our stay in Sidemen, we wanted to go to Nusa Lembongan. The host offered to arrange the transfer, and we chose to trust him, which we unfortunately regretted afterward. He assured us that a ferry left Kusamba at 9 a.m. to avoid the waves and therefore advised a departure from the homestay at 7:30 a.m. Once we arrived at the port, we learned that the ferry actually only left at 10:30 a.m., and the sea conditions were rougher. So, we had to wait for 2.5 hours for the departure. Another unpleasant surprise: the ferry did not go directly to Nusa Lembongan but to Nusa Ceningan. We then had to take a bus and walk to reach our final destination. On top of that, the transportation fare between the homestay and the port was significantly higher — 100,000 rupiah more than the price offered through the Grab app. Therefore, I recommend being cautious about the services offered by the homestay. Finally, regarding the room, there was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom as well as a high humidity level.

It is brand new and super well maintained. The decoration is very nice and minimalist just like we like 😊 the owners are very friendly and offering you to take you on a tour.

N/A

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!

Not hot water for the shower

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!

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!

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

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.

Nothing

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.

Best bathroom, comfortable bed, everything clean. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic.

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!

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! ❤️❤️

Nothing. It was an amazing experience.

Great hospitality from all at the homestay. Spotless room. Home cooking Cold Bintang. Easy access to refridgerator

Could not fault anything within the homestays jurisdtiction.
