Very comfortable accommodation with helpful hosts, conveniently located moments from Sideman's rice field walk. Highly recommend place to stay.

The place is situated in a lovely private garden. We really loved the guided trekking with our host through rice fields, some of the scenery is just breathtaking, we loved the views even more than in Tegallalang rice fields. We got to learn a lot about local life and customs as well. Cooking lesson was fun so thank you for that. Sideman has still this pristine village feel with beautiful nature around. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

The room smelled a bit damp, but it is in the middle of a rain forest, so it is to be expected. Without a scooter, walking to the restaurants at night felt a bit dark on the way back, but did not feel unsafe.

It was in a beautiful rain forest close to the rice field trek starting point. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, absolutely going above and beyond. They organised a massage for me at a local spa (and drove me there, as I didn’t have a scooter). Dodi also dropped me at the harbour for my trip to the Gili’s (at a very reasonable price). An absolute highlight was the cooking class with Nengah. I would recommend that everyone do this class. It was some of the nicest food I’ve had in Bali. Just bring cash for it.

The location is great. Very close to the best warungs, and the view of Mount Agung from the stream is beautiful. I also really liked how welcoming the staff are and they’re happy to provide lots of information and recommendations. Bed was super comfortable too.

I liked everything, but check your bathroom towels for frogs. It’s a little walk from most of the warungs, but the rice terrace walk is nearby. The road is dark at night.

Rooms were clean and cool with a fridge to keep water cold. The veranda was a lovely place to relax and read surrounded by the chirping nature noises, especially when it rains. Really enjoyed the Balinese cooking class!

They might be insects during the nights because you will be staying in a little jungle!

The family is wonderful and they care about your stay a lot. They offer a cooking class and silver class, we did both and enjoyed them so much. Dodi and the breakfast lady made our stay very special. Dodi is keen to teach and share the Balinese culture with his guests. You will be staying between rice fields and the views are very cute and special.

We stayed for the second time in 1 trip in this hotel because we like it so much. The hotel has just 3 independent houses so you have a lot of privacy. All is good. Nangga is so extremely friendly and always smiling. You can see, she enjoys her work and the guests. Thanks for all!

Everything was perfect

We stayed at the loka amertha for 4 nights and even extended our stay as we absolutely loved it. The homestay itself is surrounded by nature and the rooms are clean and beautiful. Dodi, his cousin and his wife make sure that it's a really pleasant experience. They are all such happy and welcoming people. We also took a silversmith class, which Dodi organized for us, and a cooking class with Dodi and Nga. Both of them were so much fun. The cooking class is in the traditional kitchen of the house and Dodi explained a lot about the balinese culture, religion and way of live. We really loved the homestay and especially the great people leading it. We definitely recommend it and would come back here anytime

Couldn't have asked for more. All positives here.

Great breakfast; just enough to get you started for the day. For me - pancakes, coffee and fresh fruit. Location is good as it near the ricefields and river but not too far away from the cafes, etc further up the road. Very quiet and peaceful here. Lovely room and very clean. Fresh drinking water supplied in room, eco friendly. Wonderful family run this guest house and they will help you with other issues like transport, guiding, etc And if you are a nature person then many small creatures to photograph on the grounds. Highly recommended. Loved my stay here.

The lack of airconditioning or a Screen door, so you can open the door at night. Room gets very hot without it

Nothing, everything was perfect, thank you!

We loved our stay at Loka Amertha, Doddi and his family are very welcoming and make you feel at home. The room is very good, nicely decorated, very confortable bed and nice bathroom. We recommend the scooter for rent from the property , the massages and the Balinese cooking class! We can only recommend!

Everything about Loka Amertha was lovely. It's set in a beautiful, peaceful garden filled with the sounds of birds and insects. There are only 3 cottages so it feels private. Nengah took such great care of us everyday starting with delicious welcome drinks, coffee and packed breakfast when we left again. Would definitely stay here again.

A beautiful setting in a tropical garden. Staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very enjoyable. A great place to explore Sidemen from. We will definitely return.

The feel of being surrounded by nature, the river, rice fields and all the beautiful garden around this property makes it an unbelievable place to stay while in Sidemen. Can’t recommend it enough! This place is a real gem within Sidemen. Also, even if don’t stay here, if you have the chance make sure to try the cooking clases held by Didu and Nengah 🙌🏼 real Balinese cooking classes!

Everything is according to the description.

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.

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!

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.

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
