Reviews of Second Home Bungalows

The positive atmosphere and friendliness of the staff, being close to nature

The vibe of this place is really nice, lots of little bungalows with gorgeous views, a pool area, hangout deck and restaurants. The huts themselves are simple but good value for money. You are in the heart of Tetebatu and we did an amazing tour with Juicy through the rice paddies, 2 swimmable waterfalls and the monkey forest. This was a highlight of our trip! The staff here are really nice and the hotel has a really good vibe, we’re glad we chose to stay here and would recommend.

We didn’t have a mosquito net unlike other huts that were the same and the door onto our outdoor bathroom didn’t lock.

It was a very nice stay, with good view, nice staff and and lot of activities you can do. They have a dirtbikes community and you can ride tracks in the forest/jungle, it was a very cool experience!

Sometimes the wifi is not the best in the rooms far away from the reception

Nicely build bungalow, backpackers vibe hostel part of Sama Sama. One a week there is a band playing on Saturdays. There is also a swimmingpool. We did the walking tour, a must do!!

If you can’t live close to nature it’s not the place for you maybe

Nice location, peaceful place.

We were double booked, but upgraded rooms at jungle vibes. Very nice place.

AMAZING views, place is simple but has everything you need. Breakfast was good, location was great, overall very happy:)

Would've stayed longer but the area is very loud, obviously not anyone's fault! Waking up at 4:30am every morning is just a challenge if you aren't used to it. Ear plugs were no match for the sound here.

It was in a beautiful location, very friendly and helpful staff, the view from my room was incredible and the loft where you can sit and read, meditate, chill, was lovely. The bar and live music was fantastic and the meals were great.

The bathroom, although beautiful, was open air and in view of some other rooms and people walking past above.

Loved the laid back vibes of the place. Views of rice terraces/jungle valleys were spectacular and very peaceful. The giant swing, pool and bamboo bar (and singing barman) with fire pit where great too. Our kids loved hanging out in the upstairs part with the hammocks and swing seats, plus meeting the dog. We stayed 2 nights and did a walking tour with Duan and Opik, which was exceptional. We toured rice terraces, local villages, coffee shops, waterfalls and monkey Forrest. They were both really informative and accommodating and helped out with carrying bags and were very caring and supportive of our kids (3yo and 8yo). The double room we stayed in was perfect for our family too.

Everything was great for our 2 nights.

Its a beautiful, fun, vibrant place. The rooms have gorgeous views and a loft to sit and read/meditate etc

The bathroom was open, really open, I could see the people in the room behind me when I was not only showering but also on the toilet. The smooth rocks on the floor, although pretty, were super slippery and I had to almost climb through a large plant to get into it. It was beautiful to look at, not to use.

They are new so don't be put off by a limited amount of reviews! Second home is cosy, comfortable and secluded, but still close to the rest of Tetabatu. The staff are incredible and always there to help. The bungalow is spacious, the bed is comfortable, and the bathroom is one of the nicer ones in the bungalows in Tetabatu. Also, the price is good!

Nothing

Happy people,happy vibes,good music,nice pool,amazing food and a rainbow bar. What else do you need to relax? We will be back,for sure.

Friendly staff; cost effective and close by to the monkey forest, walking tour and waterfall.

The description doesn’t exactly match what we were provided. Second home bungalows or Sama Sama Bungalows? Was more rustic than the room description led on. Perfect for back packers and had more of a hostel vibe to it. If a party and vibe was what you are looking for then it’s the perfect place. Not quiet and serene which is what we thought we thought were getting.

The staff are great, especially Ricki, he's a legend. Food good, beautiful outlook from my bungalow! Great communal areas. Love the outdoor shower. Great to have the pool as an option even though I didn't use it. The bungalow is simple and cute and perfect size for one person.

Bed bugs!!! I have bites all over and didn't realise it was bed bugs until I left. I was there 4 nights! Holes in mosquito net. Smelly pillows. I had to wait at the airport about an hour for my pick up, unsure if he'd forgotten to organise it but it's unpleasant getting off the plane and being harassed by taxi guys, luckily one was kind enough to let me use his phone to contact Andy the manager to find out what was going on. So I was hesitant to organise onward transfer from them but that worked out fine.

I had a bungalow with a spectacular view. Staff is a super friendly, nice, relaxed atmosphere

Location is Beautiful and the Bunglows are fine with nice bathroom

Overall the service of the entire team is super chaotic and doesn’t give comfort in arranging stuff.

Amazing place, very beautiful, it felt so good to stay there. Like a small world out of time. It is amazing in order to relax. And the village is also very cute as well!

There was a problem with the laundry and my friend couldn't get her laundry on time. Otherwise everything was great

The huts were lovely. The views were amazing, and the pool was excellent.

The music... somehow we would have preferred listening to the crickets rather than 1970s American rock music (which felt complerely out of place). The food was fine, but a bit underwhelming. Nonetheless, this place is well recommended!

Great place to hang out surrounded by terraced rice fields and cute villages. The pool is a wonderful addition. Cottages were cute and excellent value.

The bungalow (nr 2) was great! Absolutely stunning view. Truly amazing. The eating/chill area looked really nice, characteristic. Great staff aswell, everybody friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Rapa for a great tour through Tetebatu, waterfalls and black monkey forest. Music night was a lot of fun!

When we arrived (22.30 at night) there was a bit of a problem with our booking. We could not go into the Second home bungalow we had booked so we had to stay in a different small hut at Sama Sama bungalows (same shared space). It was only one night and they brought our stuff to the actual bungalow the next day. We were compensated for the night in the wrong place, but it was fine.
