Beautiful hotel, set in beautiful scenery The food at the hotel was fine, breakfast to order was lovely. There is a strip of Warungs 5 mins walk from the hotel to enjoy, I read some reviews that said there was nothing nearby but it's a quieter area and there is. Staff were lovely

Beautiful stay with great views and attentive staff
Beautifully maintained properly overlooking rice terraces. We stayed 4 nights in the sunrise suite and it was spacious and comfortable.
The a/c wasn’t working properly in our room so sometimes felt a little warm. Also, the food at the resort restaurant was just okay so outside of breakfast which was included, we ate at other nearby restaurants.

Very good
It was a very beautiful villa. We had booked the rice terrace suite for our honeymoon. The suite was very specious and beautiful. It had a hot bathtub as well. The rice terrace view from the balcony was also very amazing.
The food was really bad. I had ordered a vegetable club sandwich and it was not edible at all. It was terrible in taste. The location is also not very accessible for taxis from mainland. The local Grab and Gojek will not work here. So if you are planning to stay here, better make arrangements for your return car in advance. The hotel arranges cars for your return, but they will charge you 30 USD for a return trip. They also have a tell us in advance policy, so if you want to avail any services like breakfast, dinner or return car, you'll need to inform them one day prior. This seemed like a very strange policy. Not sure why they do it.

Lovely spacious rooms and a quiet property. Only a small number of rooms, which makes it feel very private. Nice pool, great views of the rice fields. The restaurant was excellent, some of the best food we had in Bali! The staff were very helpful in arranging transportation, activities, massages, etc. We had a lovely stay.

A nice 3 star hotel in a lovely quiet location
The room was spacious and comfortable. The view was lovely. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Gardens and public spaces were well maintained
Pool area could have been a little tidier. I know it’s a losing battle but dead flies and leaves in the water need clearing out.

Located in a quiet area between rice fields at the end of a road, the property offers accommodation in comfortable, elegantly furnished apartments set in a garden with specific vegetation and with a superb view The scooter tour organized by Wayan made us discover the local market, local crafts as well as the scenery of the surrounding hills and rice fields In two car tours with our experienced driver and guide, Komang, we discovered Basakih Great Temple as well as the magnificent Goa Raja, Tukad Cepung and Gembleng waterfalls The restaurant offers a spectacular view and tasty food served with kindness and professionalism by Kadek and Ella We hope to come back

Picturesque mountains and terrace scenery for your relaxing exploration of Sideman
Spacious and comfortable room with amazing views of the rice terraces and mountains surrounding the village. The food was delicious and provided many options for breakfast as well as from the menu which was available all day in the outdoor restaurant. Tour services including transfer arrangements were good value for money. We stayed for three nights which was perfect time for both relaxation and exploration of the local sites of interest. I would thoroughly recommend Cepik Villas for nay discerning traveller. province
The internet was slow or at times was not available but that is understandable given the location.

The location although lush and peaceful nothing else to see or do You do need a car or motorbike to get around No Grab around I had the driver that dropped me off to pick me up after otherwise you're stuck at paying $50 for a driver to Dempasar
