“We miss you already!”

When we were leaving your house we got truly sad, to the point we kinda cried in the bike. It was amazing how welcomed you made us feel, not only you two but your whole family. I was so grateful that we choose to stay there, it was one of the best parts of my trip in Indonesia! Thank you so much! For all the travelers in doubt where to stay Wikan's house is perfect! Putra and Radna will treat you with so much love and care that you feel truly relaxed. The breakfast was amazing, by far the best one we had in all our stays! The bed was comfortable, the place was so green, the village is quiet but very close to big cities, Radna is so sweet and I loved talking to her! They made sure we knew where to go and even helped us sharing a few not so famous locations! They offer dinner (you pay a part) and the food is so amazingly good!!!! I miss mama, papa, and the kids as well. When I'm back in Indonesia I will make sure to stay there for a longer period of time! Thank you so much for our stay!

“A safe place!”

When I first arrived, I was in shock and wanted to give this place a 3-star rating, but with each passing day, I mentally added one more star. In the end, I stayed there for 6 days and didn't want to leave. It was an absolute relaxation, thanks to the stunning natural surroundings, the tranquility, and the wonderful hosts. It was like a rehab from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Ratna and Putra thanks for all!!!

“Putra & Ratna offer great food & genuine happiness, it is a pleasure to stay there.”

you stay inside the family compound & they are the most welcoming people ever. There are a couple of walks you can do, firstly to Samsara (Living Museum) & the Raya honey farm. Both take you through small villages with endless smiling faces, running streams & towering trees. It soothes the soul.

The lovely family make the stay special! They create a very welcoming and warm environment. If you're looking for a more personal and authentic experience I would definitely recommend Wikan House!

“Local love”

I feel part of the family. Everything was well taken care of and full of love. The cooking was really good with many vegetarian options. Thank you.

“Absolute hightlight of our trip to Bali”

Even if we stayed only for a night, it was the highlight of the whole trip. Putra took us for a trek around the rice field and through the village and he explained to us so much about the life there and the culture. Staying with the family and seeing the people life in the village was really the best experience in Bali. Also, Putra and Ratna are great cooks, all the meals were yummy!

Everything was perfect, as always in Wikan House. Many things to do in the area, temples, Agung, beach, visiting the village, Bebandem or ricefields. Enjoy your stay with the best family 😁

Beside a clean and cozy room in a super peaceful and authentic environment, there was an unforgettable experience with the Wikan family: extremely careful, kind, professional and warm at the same time. Putra will share a lot about his village and his culture, his wife will prepare delicious Indonesian home made delicatessen and all of them will assist you 360° during your stay. Recommended 100% to who really wants to live an authentic experience.

“Amazing!!!!”

I was welcomed like a member of their family, and I truly felt their warmth. They kindly explained so much about Balinese culture and religion in detail. Putra, the host, speaks English, Japanese, and German fluently it’s really impressive! The food was also absolutely amazing. I am just filled with gratitude. I was able to experience the local side of Bali and meet such kind and wonderful people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I had the best time in Wikan house with Putra and Ratna. They are very friendly and always ready to help with your planning and trying to make your experience there the best they can. Putra showed me the surroundings with all his knowledge about the cutlure and local fauna and flora. When I came back after two weeks he also helped me to organize a hiking trip to Gunung Agung. And the food that you can order here is exceptional.

“This is not just a homestay, it's an experience.”

I've had such an amazing time here. Cannot recommend it enough. The people are so lovely, helpful and kind. Not because they want your money, but because they are actually good people. Putra has shown me around the area and learned me such much about the Bali culture and Hinduism. The food is the best I've had. If you ever have the chance to stay here, do it! You won't regret it.

The owner and his family are very welcoming and helpful. It was such an amazing experience staying at wikan house and getting to explore the area with the help and recomendations of the owner!! Counting the days to go back

“The Ultimate Balinese Experience! Can't get better than this!”

It's Perfect! they treat you like family, it's the perfect place to experience Bali, the surroundings are very beautiful (rice terraces, mount Agung...) The food there is delicious! They are very kind and will help you organize your day or recommend places nearby!

“Best home stay in Bali”

An absolute must for every one that want to learn more about Bali and hindoeïsme. Putra is an extremely nice guy that can tell you everything about the culture , tempels and all other questions you might have. Also he is a very good cook. I will definitely come back to this place to spend more days at Wikan house

“Meet the locals !”

Lovely and welcoming family. Showed us around and translated for us so we could talk to locals. Best stay in two month Indonesia! Would definitely recommend staying here a couple of days! Great food !

“Best Experience and Highlight in Bali”

Wow! I wish I could give 20/10 for my stay at Wikan House! This was the highlight of my time in Bali so far (and it will definitely be hard to beat). I absolutely loved spending time here with Putra and Ratna and their family. I am still amazed at everything I experienced. They were so welcoming and hospitable and full of knowledge. It was easy to get along and talk. I learnt so much about the traditions and way of life, as well as about Hinduism, plants, agriculture, history, food and more. Putra is incredibly knowledgeable and funny, and his English is really good. And he even knows German and quite a few other languages! We practiced some German together and I was then greeted in German mornings and evenings. Ratna also knows so much and I felt so lucky to be able to learn and share with them their traditions. She showed me how to prepare canang and I felt really fortunate to be welcomed to join in the family's Saraswati ceremony. Ratna helped to dress me for the ceremony and gave explanations throughout. It helped me feel comfortable and welcome and I didn't feel at all out of place. It was also a special welcome for me to walk a loop with Putra in the forest and to the rice fields. This was an awesome introduction and blew me away, with the knowledge and views, and meeting his aunt and extended family too. I loved visiting some of the places around Karangasem. Wikan House was always happy to organise a trip and take me to where I wanted to go and also making some special suggestions along the way. All with the extra benefit of Putra and Ratna answering my questions and telling me all about the things we saw. Even though it was stormy, I was able to see a lot and the rain didn't get in the way of my visit. And I can't forget the food! Every meal I had at Wikan House was so delicious. And it was all cooked by Putra or his mum! It is also the most flavoursome and best food I've had in Bali. Everything about my stay was lovely.

“Experience Balinese family life in a quiet village”

I had the warmest welcome from Putra and Ratna in their family compound surrounded by plants and trees in the quiet village of Macang near Bebandem. I wanted to be part of Balinese life and Putra and Ratna included me and were kind, caring and thoughtful always available to provide anything I wanted. They are knowledgeable on plants, animals, Balinese history and traditions and speak excellent English and Putra also speaks Japanese, German and a little French and Italian. They are good cooks and I had delicious breakfasts and dinners and could have had meals or drinks whenever I wanted. My room was attractive and a good size with a comfortable under-cover sitting area outside with lots of plants, where I had my meals and read etc and although it was at the side of the building I didn't feel cut off from what was going on with the family who were respectful of my privacy but available for an interesting chat if I wanted company. The double bed was really comfortable and there was a fan if I'd needed it. My private shower room/toilet was outside, there was plenty of hot water for the shower and they had provided everything you could want. The wi-fi was excellent. Putra took me to interesting places on foot, on the back of his scooter and in the car and also to the airport at the end of my stay - always for a very reasonable price. I had a great time at Wikan House and was sad to leave.

“Authentic Bali”

During our honeymoon trip, my husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Wican House. We were warmly welcomed by Putra and his family, who made us feel right at home with their kindness and hospitality. If you ask Putra to take you around the surroundings, he will show you the most characteristic places of his land, sharing the rich traditions and the history of the Indonesian people along the way. Let Putra and his wife cook dinner for you, they are truly skilled and thoughtful chefs. We felt completely immersed in an authentic Balinese experience, welcomed into a family. We are immensely grateful for this stop, which was not just a stay in a room but a life-changing experience.

“Beautiful smiles, sweet foods, insane views”

The family were so welcoming, I had the best day walking around the village and sight seeing on the scooter. The meals were absolutely delicious. I couldn't have asked for more. I plan on coming back to Bali just to stay at Wikan House again. This was my first solo travel and I was nervous and tired. Staying here was absolutely amazing.

Nice couple that genuinely were hospitable in guests needs. Great communication & very proficient in English language . They helped me learn how to google map off line as I had no local Sim.
