If you are allergic to cats it will be difficult as they love to hang on the outside furniture, but they are super cute and friendly. :)

Jack is simply the best host! He is so kind and funny and we enjoyed our stay at Kanda Homestay very much! The best thing was the tour through the rice fields, to the waterfall and the visit at his family for Lunch. I can only reccomand to stay here and experience real balinese life!

Nothing, everything amazing

I liked everything about the property and the staff. Can’t express what a great experience we had here. Jack and his family welcome you with open arms and make you feel part of their family. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours we did with Jack, I would especially recommend the one round Sidemen and lunch at his sister’s house, getting up for sunrise was very early for us but a magical experience which we will treasure for ever and we learnt so much during the walk around the rice terraces.

Nothing!

This homestay is absolutely incredible. The family and especially Putu and Jack (and the kids) really take you in as part of the family. They are so kind and extremely helpful. We did 2 tours with them and they were the most amazing tours ever. They really showed us the authentic Balinese life and the most beautiful areas where there are no tourist. Also really affordable! The rooms were lovely and there were loads of really sweet rescued cats walking around. Also the location is good! Just a short walking distance to a lot of nice warungs. Haven’t had such a special experience anywhere else!

The flowerbed in the bathroom - a feature that was present before it was renovated and enclosed from the outdoor elements feels a bit out of place. Not a big issue of course.

I really enjoyed my stay at Kanda Homestay - the family owners are very friendly and welcoming, the room is recently renovated and tastefully and comfortably decorated and overall it offers great value for money. I specifically requested if a Bali breakfast option was possible (after encountering it elsewhere) and they very kindly produced one for me - it's a time consuming dish to make. Order the night before usually! It's very sweet but exceptionally tasty. The owner also does trekking and taxi runs at reasonable cost if required. Take the chance to talk to the Jack the owner if you get the opportunity, his English is exceptional and he's a positive Gold mine of local information. I'll happily stay again in the future.

Jack has created such an lovely homestay with a beautiful garden, water pond, and the sweet cats he rescued. It is steeped in nature and walking distance to the many restaurants in Siedman. Jack’s family are such kind and warm hearted who creates an atmosphere of a home away from home.

There’s nothing I can suggest! From A to Z, Jack ensured we were taken care of and had a good attitude about it all.

The breakfast Putu made lives in my head forever! Jack and his family are genuine, kind people who are simply a good time. Great sense of humor. Jack is also a phenomenal tour guide

That we couldn't stay more time there

The place is gorgeous, we only stayed a night so we didn't have the chance to chat a lot with the family that housed us but they were super nice and welcoming. Very friendly cats that just wanted cuddles forever. Putu wanted to clean an already pristine room when we arrived on short notice - this shows the length they go to to make our stay wonderful. Couldn't recommend more.

It's very loud in the early morning (see other reviews), but that's nothing that the owners could change :(

Very welcoming hosts with a beautiful garden and nice rooms.

Kanda Homestay is the perfect place to stay if you want to connect with nature and experience authentic Balinese life! The room is super comfy and I loved to have the bathroom outside! Honestly, there is no words enough to express my experience in Sidemen and Kanda Homestay!!! Pure joy, kindness, authenticity, peace and feels like home! Breakfast serve by Putu are simply the best !!!! 🙏 Jack is such an amazing human being. I guarantee that you will have great time on tours with him! I enjoy all our conversations and I am so grateful for him to show the true Balinese life ! Also, he is a good singer 😉 All the family is lovely! The only problem is you will not want to leave !!!! 🥺

Everything was perfect

Very nice and friendly people/family. I was made very welcome, Everyone tried to help me sort whatever was needed (like quick lift on the scooter to reach the ATM) Everyone was very honest, I had some wonderful talks. The place only has 2 rooms, so getting to know the family is easy. Gusti does really good sunrise tours with ricefield hiking, lovely food and Arak. I just had an absolutely wonderful time there and really want to come back one day.

There was absolutely nothing that we didn’t like about the property. We loved it.

The moment we arrived it felt like home. Jek and his beautiful family immediately took us in and included us in their daily lives. The rooms are very comfortable and cozy, the outdoor bathroom was fantastic. The deck was nice to eat breakfast and listen to the birds sing.The family especially Putu and Jek were always there when needed. We loved Jek’s amazing cats, very loving.

There was nothing we didn’t like this was a lovely peaceful and relaxing interlude to our holiday in Bali

Kanda is very nice little home stay centrally located in Sideman. It is clean and comfortable and set in a small well kept Balinese garden. It has a lovely Balinese type family atmosphere and you will be well looked after by Jack and his sister in law who brings you a lovely freshly cooked breakfast, coffee and fresh fruit every morning. The property is close to all shops and restaurants. Jack has a reputation for guiding excellent tours of Sidemen and its surrounding areas and it is well worth while taking one of these as it a true guide to the Balinese lifestyle as opposed to just a sights and scenes of Sidemen although you still get those as well

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine smiles and a warm welcome that instantly made us feel like part of the family. Everything is impeccably clean and well-maintained, the rooms are spacious, comfy, tastefully decorated and the 'outdoor' bathroom is awesome. The garden is lush and the outdoor patio (with a sofa, table/chairs + fresh water dispenser) is the perfect place to chill. What truly set this place apart was Jack (the owner) and his family's genuine friendliness and the positive energy that permeated the homestay. What a wonderful experience in a stunning part of Bali.

The family were so welcoming and even let us change dates.

If you don't like/have problems with chicken cuckoo sounds and other insects in the middle of the night, best not stay here, as there's a opening in the room roof at the entrance that carries all the surrounding sounds inside.

Very nice homestay, very well maintained. Owner and his wife are lovely people.

absolutely NOTHING. everything perfect.

this was one of my favourite experiences while travelling. Jake and his family completely looked after my friend and I. they were so present and attentive and did an amazing breakfast every morning. the room was BEAUTIFUL and the bathroom was my favourite of my travels. my friend and I paid for a tour by Jake who took us on such a unique, local tour around Sideman which we definitely could not have seen without a local guide. he took us through rice fields, to waterfalls and to meet his family. He was such fun to be around and chat with and I really cherish my time at his Homestay.

The family is most welcoming and friendly. Breakfast is served to your terrace. Water tanks to refill your bottle. Very clean and nice decor. Lovely, lush garden and a lot of kittens running around. Location is very good, restaurants and rice terraces in walking distance, and the family rents scooters too.

Kanda Homestay is the best homestay that we have been in during our 1,5 months holidays in Indonesia. The apartment is spacious and super clean. The bed is big and comfortable. The interior design is just lovely. The wifi works impeccably and the breakfast was super tasty. Also you have a spacious porch to chill! I honestly couldn’t ask for more. Also we fell in love with the owner Jack and his family. So kind and welcoming people with big hearts and a lot of animals. We will definitely come back and I can truly recommend this place.
