The guesthouse is beautiful, with wonderful views over the valley. The room was large, airy and had huge windows and a balcony to enjoy the view. A perfect place to relax and unwind. I went on a lovely guided walk through the ricefields and took a yoga class, both arranged by the guesthouse (luckily there was another guest to share the yoga cost as it was a private class).

Info on the website makes it look like there are a lot of activities like yoga, guided meditation etc, but this was more of an 'on demand' situation and as the owner was away, the offering quite limited. It was also a bit unclear what was or wasn't happening as the website was out of date and there was nobody on reception, and while the ground staff/ restaurant staff tried their best to help, they clearly did not have sufficient info/training to do so. So, I would recommend this more as a place to switch off and just relax than anything else, unless you have something pre-booked. Note - the chakra massage from the local holy man that the guesthouse can arrange is an interesting, if painful, experience. However, there are some aspects that could be extremely uncomfortable/triggering for others - hands on throat that may feel like strangling, hand on pubic area (this did not feel inappropriate to me, but may feel uncomfortable to others), and no adaptation of approach to account for discomfort. I recommend that this is very clearly communicated by Nirarta staff at the time of booking.

the views here are g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! for views across the peaceful surroundings, select the upper floor. the difference in price is worth it. for those working remotely, the wifi was adequate for VCs

not an issue for me, and just so others are aware - there is no one manning reception for check-in, orientation upon arrival, answering of queries etc instead, you’ll find detailed notes in your room. plus, I used the Booking messaging platform to communicate. the manager responded very quickly to all messages

everything! this place is AMAZING location 👌 rooms 👌 restaurant 👌 facilities 👌 helpful staff 👌 that view 💜

Location is beautiful. The restaurant on site was good. The owner was very helpful, she organised cars and a guided trek for us.

There was limited information at check in about the facilities and restaurant opening times

Beautiful cottages in serene garden with amazing views from the restaurant terrace on rice fields and mountains. Nirarta is also a meditation center and Peter is highly experienced, professional life coach. He has deep stores of knowledge and insights that he shares with kindness, humility and gentle smile. Highly recommended for spiritual retreats and re-examining our lives to see blissful peace in our daily routine.

Beautiful landscape, lovely people, very good food, good energy. I loved the morning meditation!

I had the best time here- I loved the view and the beautiful gardens and setting. I did a lovely guided walk and amazing cooking class which I highly recommend - all the staff were so kind and friendly

Nothing- wish I had stayed longer

the location offers breathtaking view of the rice field in Taboula villa in Sidemen. at the restaurant, the view was so expansive you can see farmers, mountain, the river, the clear blue sky. and most importantly it was quiet when i was there, i think i was the only guest. the restaurant offers some vegan options and it is strategically located near all the other restaurants and coffee shops

there was no free meditation lesson when i was staying here cause the owner who usually offered it to guests was outside of the country. wifi was on and off, and required constant login. no AC in the room, only fan, so you had to open the windows. the hotel also gets dark at night due to minimal lighting. there was no staff at all at night, i think only one guard.

Breath taken view

wi-fi signal is low. Staff don't always speak English well

Loving kindness of all the staff and management!
