Sidemen provided wonderful insights iinto Balinese village life The people were warm & welcoming
We loved our room with glorious high and wide views of surrounding hills and farmland. We loved waking up to views from the bed of lush green quite Bali The dining area was so lovely that we ate dinners in more than we anticipated. The view from the breakfast/dining area was sensational.

Beautiful Serene Stay With Exceptional Customer Service and Great Restaurant
The staff were wonderful. Customer Service at it's best. On arrival we weren't just shown to our room we were given a tour and everything was explained to us. We were greeted at the restaurant with complimentary Rosella Juice which was a lovely surprise. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We ordered room service on a couple of occasions and couldn't fault any of the food. Loved the smoothie bowls and all breakfasts on offer. Room was incredibly spacious - we were in the rice terrace room and the view was memorable and picturesque. We used a private driver organised by the Cepik Villa and also did their organised tours - 3hr rice field trek and the cooking class both which were excellent. We loved that it wasn't over crowded so you receive more personalised service with limited number of rooms available.
Would be great to have an onsite taxi that can drive you to local places. Cepik Villa is located at the bottom of the hill and it's a good 30 minute walk to Sidemen town centre. It is a very steep walk even to the closest warungs so if you are unfit we suggest considering hiring a scooter - we wish we did.

Stunningly beautiful Sideman
Lovely view from the room, staff were lovely- Wayan was wonderful, Emmie an excellent masseuse. The Ogoh Ogoh parade was awesome!
Some mix up with the reservation which was eventually rectified. The mushroom stroganoff disappointing - better to order Indonesian food

Beautiful stay in Sidemen with gorgeous views and fair price.
We stayed in the sunrise villa and it was MAGNIFICENT. The surroundings were beautiful and we felt real luxurious.
The food in the restaurant was not really good and they were out of stock for a lot of items.

Great experience.
The views from the restaurant and the room were nice. Pool was also clean and located at great position in the villa.
There were a lot of insects in the restaurant, but it could not be helped because the restaurant was located outside. Other nearby restaurants are in the same situation.

Relaxing stay
Friendly service. Amazing massages. Very comfortable
Air con hidden behind wooden slats so the room took long time to cool on a very humid day

Nice and cozy hotel with colonial Charme. Very goof value for the money.
Nice view and location. Fantastic food in the restaurant. You have to try the fried Tempe. The stuff is very friendly and super helpful.
We had the pool villa. The door is a bit old and close very difficult. It’s getting very fast hot inside because the door is not properly closing. The bathroom is getting fast wet and a bit smelly because a window is missing.

Peaceful and beautiful
Sideman is a hidden gem in East Bali. This small hotel offers pretty nature and authentic experience. The rooms are big and bright, breakfast is fine.
Keep in mind that you'll have visitors in the room like ants, gecos because the door and windows aren't really isolated. Mosquitos weren't an issue, but bring repelent and the electrical socket repelent is also useful. Sadly, we forgot ours in the room :)

If you're looking for peaceful jungle village vibes in Bali, this is the place!
Wow, what a place to stay in Sidemen. The best accomodation we stayed in for our whole trip. I have a bit of a rule of thumb when travelling in Bali that every place you stay in there will be 'something' wrong with it, it will never be as good as the photos, so as to set expectations and not get disappointed. But this place proved me wrong – it was perfect, and better than I'd expected. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in Bali and escape the overcrowded touristy hotspots, Sidemen is a dream and this place is just what you need. The pool is so tranquil, the staff are the loveliest, the food at the restaurant is delicious. We will definitely be coming back!

Very good
Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and relaxing place in the nature. We stayed here for 3 nights and visit the east of Bali.
Lots of humidity in this area of Bali, you feel it a lot in the room. The house where we slept was really nice on the outside, but needs an inside refreshment. Not much choice for breakfast.

If you're looking for peace and quiet and wanting to experience unspoilt Bali, come to Sideman!
We were fortunate enough to stay in the best room available. It had the most stunning views of the mountains and rice paddy fields. The suite was exceptionally private and very spacious with a huge canopy bed. The bathroom was deluxe and had the same amazing views as the bedroom.
There was a problem with out air conditioning which was resolved when reported.

The hotel was absolutely stunning. Everything from the staff, food and location. I’d return any day!
The great service, facilities and views from the room.
It wasn’t the hotel’s fault but where the business they give guest laundry to use too much fabric conditioner and I could hardly wear my clothes from the strong smell.
