“A wonderful relaxing stay”

The owner, Putu, was really friendly and knowledgeable. A very quiet location with a supermarket in easy walking distance and 2 restaurants. I walked to the closest restaurant and it was excellent. The hot springs were also in walking distance a very enjoyable breakfast served on the veranda

Really friendly host. Very Homestay like

“Fabulous stay, very good value.”

Putu was a wonderful host. He is a very calm and knowledgeable gentleman. He arranged a snorkelling trip for us to Menjangan island, which was fabulous and the highlight of our 4 week trip so far. We ran out of time to do the bird tour but it looked fantastic - he showed us some of the birds he’d seen. The rooms are ideal. Clean, spacious and comfortable beds. Air con works well. Breakfast is delicious. Very good value for money!! The fresh water pool was excellent for cooling off. He organised lifts for us into town/ down the coast at any time. There was a fridge for storing bits and kitchen facilities. Cool or hot water available any time from a dispenser. All made the stay very comfortable. We only wish we could have stayed longer !

“Compared to other places not very special.”

The owner Putu is very friendly and helpful. He repaired my shoe and gave me plaster.

“A beautiful rural homestay close to good restaurants and attractions”

Putu was a really kind host. He welcomed us immediately and hooked us up with a snorkeling tour. which was fantastic. He also offered a bird watching tour, which I did alone with him and this was really great as well as Putu is very knowledgeable and passionate about birds. The homestay is really lovely and well looked after. Putu has made a really nice garden there. You will be very happy just hanging out in the garden and enjoying the room, which is simple but nice. It's very close to shops and a really fantastic warung called Dapoer Chandra in which my partner and I ate many times. it's really good food for cheap. We also rented a scooter for a cheap price, and found it a good and reliable motor. My partner gets bad mosquito bites so Putu came every day at dusk to put down a mosquito coil. He's a really caring and attentive host without being intrusive. Absolutely no complaints about this homestay

The host was very welcoming, and he looked after his place very well. Place was simple but beautiful. Hot water and a kitchen available. Near a nice restaurant and shops. Very lovely

Putis beautiful garden was a great place to relax in nature and there was a comfortable porch to watch the wild birds come into the garden to feed on the many fruit trees in the property. I loved the outdoor bathroom and the sounds of the village animals while taking a relaxing shower. I appreciate that there was a wash basin inside the room so I didn't have to go out to use the sink. There's a parking lot for cars and scooters. There's a nice Warung with good food just on the main road. Close proximity to Mejangan Island and Bali Barat National Park. Putu is friendly, hospitable and great with identifying local wildlife.

Very nice owner, walking distance to the hot spring, restaurants and supermarket. Very good bed. Open roof shower, very nice

“It was a great stay, it was very affordable and the bed was so comfy.”

Putu the host was more than accommodating with organising anything from transport, food and activities for the day. He was so helpful

“A wonder of nature, people and real Bali.”

Putu is an amazing host he and his family made me feel very welcome. The property is in the less visited part of Bali and is surrounded by small holdings. It is so beautiful in the area, I would recommend a driver or a hire car/moped if you wish to explore as the property is not very far from the main road, it is not a busy place. There are some lovely local warungs and shops nearby including some very nice eateries such as the Bali Tower. The national forest is not far away and you are pretty much surrounded by forest, there is a local beach like most of them is down a few ‘ less maintained’ roads but is worth the visit. Putu is a guide and can take you birdwatching and to see the black faced monkeys in the national forest. The rooms are simple, but comfortable and the AC is very good. About 20 minute drive away is Pemuteran a more tourist oriented village with a lot of very good dive centres. Be warned that the journey from Denpasar airport is quite long and can be exciting if you’re not used to Balinese roads and driving! Overall I have never had a better experience of friendliness care and not just being a visitor I felt fully at home. If you’re looking for 5* instragramable infinity pools this is not for you, but if you want to try and experience Bali before the tourists arrived try here it’s beautiful.

“Truly local”

We enjoyed discovering the true part of the village, near local's houses and animals. Also close to hinduist temples: people is so kind. Puti was giving us many opportunities to discover the nature such as bird-watching and snorkeling: we only tried the snorkeling tour and it was the best spot in the world to see the real corals (full full of colour and life that I wasn't expecting)

“Fabulous experience with corals, fish and turtle”

Putu was extremely kind and welcoming He arranged for us a snorkelling tour in Pulau Menjangan, for a good price. This will stay one of our best memories in Bali, it was the best snorkelling place for us (compared with Amed and Nusa Penida) The room is good, bed is very comfortable and we really appreciated the bathroom outside There is an excellent restaurant called Dapoer Chandra, 5 minutes away by walking, where we tasted the best Nasi Goreng of all our Bali trip One last detail : there is a washing machine available for clothes

“Best place we’ve stayed in 8 months!”

Best accommodation we have had in our 8 months traveling. Putu went above and beyond for us in every aspect. This is the perfect place to stay for several nights if you’re wanting to explore the area / snorkeling / dolphins / beach. Putu recommended restaurants within a short walk and they were absolutely excellent also! You can see the love and care that goes into this accommodation. Rooms were spotless, great A/C, great power to the shower also which was a must for us after a day of snorkeling! Excellent breakfast. Scooter rental / tours / transport all available to book via Putu too. I can’t recommend this place enough. 10/10!

“Best hotel on Bali!”

The manager was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Great snorkling and diving trips are set up by the hotel and transportation provided. I love this hotel. Best value for money in Bali.

Communication with the host. Price. Breakfast was ok.

This property was a delight for nature lovers! It offered a welcome escape from the tourist crowds, providing a peaceful and authentic Balinese experience. The highlight for me was the abundance of birdlife in the garden. I spotted a variety of colorful birds throughout the day, and even Bali Mynas flitting around. I highly recommend booking a birdwatching tour with Putu, the host. Putu's knowledge of the local birds is impressive, and the tour was a fantastic way to explore the surrounding farms, mangroves, and beaches. Putu's guidance helped me spot a wider variety of birds than I could have on my own. Overall, this property is perfect for those seeking a tranquil stay surrounded by nature.

“We made a booking here for two nights, for the opportunity to birdwatch and snorkel. The accommodation was in a rural se”

Location, the host, accommodation, hospitality and kindness

The room was pretty clean

“I n c r e d i b l e”

Staying at Taman Menjangan homestay by Snorkeling Menjangan was one of the best parts about Menjangan! The host Putu and his son were so kind and helped us get to Menjangan island via their tour trip (the best snorkeling experience in Bali!!). The house is nestled in a local neighborhood with many farmers who have lots and lots of animals. I loved the ambiance.

“The place to be in Banjuwedang”

Putu is an excellent and reliable host and manages the Homestay, which is like living on a Bali farm. You get water for free and you can use a washing machine. We were snorkeling with his friend Made and did a mangrove tour with Putu. Both tours were very professional with these friendly guides. We enjoyed our stay at taman menjangan very much and would recommend it to people who don’t need luxurious hotels and yet appreciate clean and homestays and like to experience the more rural way of life.
