The staff is amazing, helpful and very kind. They offer a variety of activities, such as rice fields trekking or cooking class. We highly recommend both activities. We took a 3-hour trekking in the rice fields. You can also opt for a different duration. The cooking class included all the ingredients, cooking in Balinese traditional style, with lots of food to enjoy by the end of it! Delicious and well-prepared, it is an unmissable experience if you come to Loka Amertha. Also, the property is surrounded by nature with a river nearby.

Everything is according to the description.

Situated a few minutes from the heart of Sidemen village, you ride through beautiful Rice terraces before you get here. The accommodation is a standalone villa next to 2 others. It was extremely clean. The staff were really nice and it was at a great price. Will definitely stay here again.

We LOVED our stay at Loka Amertha. The bed is amazing, the room is extremely clean and the bathroom very beautiful. Not to mention that everybody was beyond friendly, the breakfast amazing and that there's drinking water available. They can arrange a guided walking tour if you're interested, which we really enjoyed! For Sidemen in general, it's easy if you have a scooter, but even without a scooter it's a good location. You have multiple very nice Warungs closeby and you're only seconds away from the ricefields. Can't recommend enough!

The room is simple but to be expected for this price. The staff was very kind! The cooking class was the highlight of our stay (see picture), highly recommended! You can easily book a scooter with them and they helped us with arranging drivers. We wanted to do a tour through the rice terrace, the owner (Dody) was not available himself but he arranged someone else to do it with us and that was also very nice! The surroundings are very quiet.

We had some frogs in the room, but that’s was to be expected when you are in the middle of the nature.

If you want a quiet place in nature, where you can relax and enjoy, then you are right. I really like the location, it was very relaxing. The staff was very friendly, they were cleaning the room everyday. The bed was very comfortable and huge. The bathroom had everything that you need, like: soap and shampoo.

Dody, his wife and his cousin were super friendly and accommodating Breakfast prepared by Dody’s cousin was delicious Peaceful and relaxing stay, loved waking up to a garden full of greens

Everything was great

This accomodation was everything we hoped for. Very beautiful natural setting next to the river. There was resturants near by and main sideman tourist area was 1 km interesting walk which we enjoyed. Very close to the rice fields trek. The bed and pillows were high quality the bathroom was lovely and there was every comfort considered. We enjoyed our balcony looking into rainforest and birds. Breakfast was nice cooked in front of us by friendly staff thanks for a great stay Highly recommend this place

I had a very nice stay for 5 nights at Loka Amertha. The room is clean and comfortable. I thought I might be too hot at night without AC but actually it was fine with the fan. The bed is big with lots of pillows and there is a big jug of water in the room which is really nice to have. I enjoyed that the location is tucked away from the road. I was able to rent a motorbike from Dodi and also greatly appreciated when I was allowed to take a quick shower after my hike up Agung, even though it was past my check-out time. Sidemen is so beautiful and I really loved exploring this part of Bali!

No complaints, just a suggest/idea to add a kettle for making tea/coffee in the room.

Very tidy, beautiful garden and surrounding area, good warungs in walking distance. The guided walk through the rice fields was amazing, such a beautiful area.

this place exceeded our expectations. It was so far the best place we have staid in Bali. The room was great and hosts was spotless.

Nothing

The place is absolutely amazing, Sidemen itself is a very nice area, and Loka Amertha it's in avery good position, you have to enter a small and quiet road and get to this beautiful and so natural garden , where the rooms are located. The room is very spacious, with nice and well kept furniture, there is a mosquito net just in case, the bathroom is huge and super clean, provided with everything. Outside a small patio with chair and table, overlooking the beautiful garden. It was a pleasure to sleep in the quiet of nature. I also appreciate having drinking water provided from the hotel, but in glass bottles, avoiding the use of plastic!

Nothing

Everything! Doddy is an amazing host. He and his family are so friendly and accomodating. It is super quiet and peaceful staying here and is nearby the river. There is only 2 rooms on the property so you really feel special. AND there are two cheeky but friendly dogs, heaven! The room is super beautiful and comfortable and doddy cooks you up a fresh breakfast every morning.

Your own little house in a an amazing jungle garden. Room beautifully furnished, amazing shower room. So peaceful. And Momo and Mimi, the two dogs are gorgeous Owner Dodi is super lovely.

Everything was 10 our of 10. Only Wifi was weak.

Staying here was a definite highlight of our trip to Bali. The cabin is set within the forest and very peaceful and a great place to chill and relax. The interior is tastefully decorated - especially the bathroom. Breakfast is very good. Best of all, we enjoyed the kind hospitality of our host Dody and his family. We learnt a lot about Sideman and Balinese culture from Dody. We took some tours with Dody through the rice fields and to the local artisans and to the waterfall. These were good value, fun and educational. All in all, our time in Sideman was enjoyable and memorable and this was in large part because we stayed at Loka Amertha.

Everything was perfect! Loka Amertha is a little bit outside of Sidemen but this makes it even more beautiful. You will sleep inside of a beautiful garden, where nearly all the fruits for your breakfast fruit salad are growing. Only 1 min away start the beautiful rice fields, where you can have lunch while enjoying the view. 5 min further and you will be left breathtaking with the scenery. Loka Amertha will provide you with a breakfast (including pancake or eggs any kind as well as a fruit salad and coffee or tea), a king size bed (so freaking comfy!), 2l of water per day, a clean bathroom (warm water and good water preassure of the shower) and a wonderful terrace where you can enjoy the most beautiful butterflies surrounding you. The Wifi is fast and stable and you can rent a scooter from the owner. Keep in mind: You will experience an almost tourist free stay, which means you can enjoy balinese way of life at first hand. You will need a scooter and prepare yourself to eat local food (only a few western restaurants). Loka Amertha is a wonderful residence and you wonˋt regret staying here even 1 second. Everything is as pictured.

a really beautiful stay and very private having your own room and en-suite. Doddy even taught me to ride a scooter to get around which I was very grateful for!

nothing, it was perfect for me

You feel like in the middle of the jungle. Only 2 little houses but has everything you need. Very close to Sidemen, the ricefields and waterfalls. Best bed and shower we've had in over 4 weeks!

Really good quality rooms including nice breakfast for quite the small price. Super helpful and friendly owners (great help with scooter rental and transport). The garden is amazing and has maximum jungle feel. Strong recommendation for a few nights for sure!

Amazing place. The accommodation is very comfortable, everything is clean. Very close to nature in an amazing garden, like a garden in heaven (we didn't even want to go anywhere and just enjoy nature). The service is perfect and you can see that they take care of it with love. Higly recommended

Everything was great.

It was as good as expected ...a simple private place ..comfortable ..clean ...friendly ...family host ...not resorty good position wild garden

There was no thing I did not like

Beautiful, recently constructed bungalow, located off the beaten track, in the midst of beautiful Sidemen and a minute or two by scooter to town. The comfy bed, clean accommodation and the friendly host characterise this property.

Only positives and no wonder others have provided similar reviews.

Loka Amertha is a nice place to stay when you are going to Sideman! The Hosts are really nice and will provide you with all the information you need, they also cooked a very nice vegetarian curry for us, with a nice dessert as well! The room is comfortable in a nice and beautiful garden where they grow lots of their own fruits, it made is feel like we were in the middle of the jungle :). The location is nice, walking distance from the ricefields where you can take a nice walk and about half an hour walk to the centre of Sidemen. We also loved the company of their puppy Momo :) they also made the reservation for us to do a silver workshop the day after, which was a very good recommendation as well!

Everything was nice, if I would have to think of one thing it would be nice to have a hammock or some comfortable chairs to lay in, relax and read a book :)

Very friendly owner with a nice puppet, scooter rental possible, owner helped us find a taxi to the ferry, really good breakfast, nice bungalow which was really clean, good warungs around to eat, family-owned, good mosquito net, delicious welcome-drink

It's not in the centre of Sidemen (no problem because scooter rental is recommended anyway)

My stay in Loka Amertha was perfect, everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable, and perfect for a great nice of sleep. The highlight of my stay was the amazing garden. The people working there where super friendly and helpful.

We had some problems with hot water in the shower, but it was quickly solved.

Loka Amertha was great! The hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had a great stay. they even made us a breakfast box in the day of our early departure. The rooms were perfect; the best beds with an amazing sleep (best in Bali) and a great bathroom. The forest sounds in the background give the perfect atmosphere and Sidemen is great to experience the authentic culture. Also, little pup Momo is the cutest

great,comfortable and clean
