Nothing. Everything was great.

Tepi Sawah is a peaceful and magical place. It is the perfect antidote to the hectic chaos of Ubud or Kuta. It is a little piece of authentic, magical Bali not far from Ubud.

The entrance a bit rocky.

The tranquillity I've never found in Bali. Only a few villas but full of it owns character. You just need a book, a drink, it brings you back to the childhood memories. Simple the best.

Tepi Sawah was a great reminder that I don’t need air conditioning, artificial background noise, wifi or even walls to have a good night’s sleep. Just natural light and dark, the sound of wildlife, feeling at home with good people (and maybe mosquito repellent). If you’re in need of a reset, stay here.

It is a blessed place! I made a reservation for 2 days and decided to stay more time! Beautiful place to stay in peace! Located in a small rice field surrounded by forest. We can hear the forest orchestra all day! The yoga/meditation room has an amazing open view to the rice fields and the forest. They also offer tours. The guide, Putu, is such a special person, with a huge knowledge about the forest and the Balinese culture. There are many incredible things to see nearby, like a temple inside the forest, rice fields protected by Unesco and, my favorite, the enormous and sacred Bayan tree. Besides, you can get a sense of the Balinese real life, away from the most visited touristic places. I really hope I can come back one day! Thank you, Suksma Putu, Dewi and all the team! 🙏

You like jungle? Good You like the sounds of nature? Good The staff of Tepi Sawah will cook delicious food for you, can provide Balinese massages - all the while Putu will be the man for all questions - and sympathetically so! We felt super welcome and enjoyed every second. We had delicious breakfast, an awesome jungle trek with Putu - with so much information about nature, religion and spiritualism - and many delicious dinners! An awesome place!

The rooms were beautiful and you’re completely surrounded by nature here. It feels like a part of the world protected by overdevelopment and commercialisation, the local people who worked here were all lovely and they were happy to share their culture and experiences with us when we talked with them so we learned a lot too. You easily spend a couple of days or months here!

Some bugs. Not all but some, haha.

This place is extremely special. The land is magical & the family are beautiful. I stayed in the Cottage which is just underneath the main space so has the best wifi but isn’t as secluded as the other spots. The nature here breathtaking if you’re into rural jungle authenticity. Putu I will forever be extending my love & gratitude toward and likewise to all of the family. The food served was delicious and the effort that goes into making sure you’re ok and have things to do if you choose to, is all there. I struggled to leave as it’s without a doubt the most authentic place I stayed in Bali I’ve stayed and fell in the love with the culture and knowledge of the village.

Everything was good.

The location was perfect if you wanna explore the nature. They organize trips with the car from the accommodation to the ricefields, waterfalls., temples. If you like to hike you can go with a guide to the temple, jungle and ricefields. The views are stunning. We enjoyed the peace in the area. The food was home made with ingredients from the garden. Very tasty. You can also watch them while cooking in the evening, they have a nice open kitchen. I learned a lot of recepies there. You can also enjoy the healing massage, does miracles. Sleeping with the sound of the frogs and crickets brings you to another world.

Dewi is the most amazing person we met in Bali! She has a very bright mind and kind soul, she created a little tranquil paradise around her, including the property and people being and working there. We loved the concept of having private tranquility and the same time sharing common dining space and having the opportunity to interact. If you stay here, don't miss the jungle tour with Putu, he is very kind, intelligent and funny, shared his full day with us and taught a lot about local animals, plants, natural medicines and culture. We wish Dewi to keep it up for many-many more years! Miki and Anikó

So peaceful! Located far away from the noise, surrounded by beautiful nature, with fire flies at night and jungle noise. And the service. Dewi and the team did so much to make me feel at home. Loved the place. And the food!!! Amazing.

I finally got a chance to rest. The place is so peaceful. I love the nature surrounding it, the terrace overlooking rice fields with many fireflies visiting at night. The owner, Dewi, is so kind and helpful. And the breakfast was so delicious. True Balinese cuisine. I will definitely come back!

Tepi Sawah is the most peaceful and authentic place you can stay. I went there in the night after arriving at the airport. It was amazing to arrive late in the evening, just jungle sounds and stars in the clear sky. It was the perfect place to spend my first days in Bali to acclimatize. Dewi and the staff are very kind and make you feel like home immediately. You can pick your own passion fruits from the garden and mangosteen. I spend my days walking in the beautiful surroundings with sawahs, village life and the Batukaru temple. Butterflies, flowers, kind people, true Balinese life. Dewi is a beautiful host. She is from the village herself and is very caring for her guests. She teaches English to the children of the village and supports in whatever ways she can. Most unforgettable were my walks with guide Putu. Seeing birds, butterflies, rivers and swimming in the waterfall. I will definitely always return here.

Absolutely nothing. If nature and genuine souls are your jam, I would suggest a visit to this beautiful space.

Tepi Sawah Lodge & Retreat is the ideal place to disconnect and recharge your batteries amid the jungle and rice paddies. The whole team is extremely friendly and helpful. I did the cooking class and a jungle walk including meditation with Putu (an amazing local guide), which is a memory that will stay with me for a long time. Thanks again for everything !

I spent 5 days at Dewi's place and had a complete detox. This place is heaven on earth. I have never been so connected with nature. I must say it took me a while to get used to it, but this process was special in its own way. Dewi is so caring and makes amazing food, so you soon feel at home and taken care of. Make sure you bring enough cash with you, since there are no ATMs. You need enough, not because it would be so expensive, but because there are many things I would not want you to miss. I did a tour with Putu who is another special human. He is so open to sharing knowledge, I had a great time with him. I will never forget the meditation we did in the middle of the jungle. I did a cooking class and had a massage. All was nice. Even though the place is remote, Dewi and her team has plenty activities for guests to do. Another amazing thing about this place is the people you meet there. It does attract some nice humans, some of them are open to meet and have a nice talk with you if this is what you are looking for. I don't recommend this place to people who expect luxury in a "typical way" as having AC, pool, western food on the menu... Thank you Dewi, Putu and the whole team who is working hard to keep this place so welcoming.

A lovely oasis with a kind and attentive staff situated among the rice fields and jungle. Dewi and her staff provide top notch service in a somewhat remote location but with many things to see nearby. You’ll want to rent a scooter or hire a private driver both of which Devi can arrange. One of my favorite things to do was to ride the scooter on the narrow and scenic rural roads stopping along the way to take pictures of the people and scenery. Waterfalls, rice terraces and temples are all within a 30 minute drive. As other reviewers have mentioned there are insects here and lots of noise from the jungle from creatures like tree frogs. If you are bothered by either it’s probably not the place for you. Food was delicious and prepared with all local and fresh ingredients by Dewi and her staff. I really enjoyed my four night stay.

It doesn't get better then Dewi and her lodge. Wauw what a magical place. Dewi is so kind and had this great vision. She turned her fathers land into this place with authentic little houses in the middle off the jungle using only brick an reused wood. In her garden you can find all kind off vegetables and fruit growing. Wich she kindly shares with her guest. If you don't want luxerious but something authentic and you want to be close to nature it doesn't get better then this. At night the magic happens when the fireflies come out to play. You can see the moon and the stars and the sunrise and sunset. And Dewi is the heart off it all with her kind smile. Always helpfull, welcomming and just the best. If I have the chance I will return in a heartbeat
