The place is perfect, built with dedicated care esp. in a rural area. We highly appreciated having the aircon during the hot humid nights in Bali, much more comfortable than the picturesque bamboo villas on Instagram. The hut is cozy, cute, and super clean. At night we could hear the soothing sounds of the insects that were extremely calm for a good sleep. There are excellent restaurants nearby plus a long swimming pool within walking distance of the middle of the forest. Sadly we wanted to stay longer but cannot arrange with a short notice. The host family is super nice and helpful. Will definitely come back for a longer stay.

Dit was echt een fantastische ervaring! Ik kan het iedereen aanraden! Vooral het zwembad is adembenemend. Een en al luxe en aan alles is gedacht. Super bedankt!

Staying at Kalamanthana was a highlight of our six weeks in Bali. It's a small but perfectly appointed (and spotlessly clean) Swiss-style cabin containing everything you need – AC, good wifi, a small kitchen, a water filter, TV with streaming services, a bathroom with an excellent shower and a comfortable bed. So much thought and care has gone into everything, from the first aid kit to the complimentary snacks to the folder containing details of day trips and nearby activities. There are no other guests – it's just the one cabin, so it's a really quiet and personal experience. From the terrace the views are spectacular, the best we found on the whole of the island – lush, gorgeous views of the valley, accompanied by the sounds of insects. A 6-7 minute walk down steps is a beautiful hidden swimming pool, surrounded by the forest and available to guests, and there's a good Mexican-Italian restaurant a couple of minutes walk away (breakfast is from here – the huevos rancheros are almost as good as the views). Thank you to Rachel, Stefan, Reihan (and their pets, which our four year old child loved playing with) for their hospitality, advice and excellent company. They've created a little slice of paradise that feels a million miles away from Bali's touristy areas, and being able to share it with them, if only for a couple of nights, was truly a gift.
