Alam Sari Hotel
The staff is great. Lovingly prepare food for one with eating difficulties. The gardens are lovely. Bed very comfy with huge much needed, evening and night, mosquito net. Coming from a very quiet rural area in Australia I did find the traffic just down the slope to the road very noisy. For city dwellers it might go unnoticed.
Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2017

Homestay, a great alternative
I had a wonderful little cottage within a family compound. It was clean and comfortable, wtih beautiful gardens and a great family. While it was quite a distance from Ubud, and from anything, my host was a driver with a vehicle and would take me where I wanted to go (be aware, there is a fee for driving...about $8 USD each way to Ubud). I should have planned to do some activities made available through the homestay program (tours, lessons in music or painting) but thought I wanted to tour Ubud as I only stayed two nights. But I found the town to packed with tourists and not much more than shops. The homestay provides a 15 page document that really fills you in on the experience and gives you lots of choices and prices on what there is to do so read it over and sign up for volunteering to teach English or taking a village walk. These homestays are a big help to the locals and gives you a chance to know each other. I suggest you bring photos of your home, your family, your pets, your school, etc. as its a great exchange to show your host family how you live at home. I also brought a playground ball for the family's kids as even though they are middle class, a new ball or crayons or some small gift is just a nice gesture. I had a great time and highly recommend the experience as long as you understand that this is not a hotel in the middle of the action.

A stay full of culture and sounds !
We stayed in the homestay which was attached to the main hotel facilities whereby you could use the pool and restaurant. The homestay was very authentic with the sounds of Roosters,dogs and a real cultural experience if you hadn't been to bali homestays.The room very clean.Food was good and the homestay family was very helpful,generous and informative.

Great home stay to get away from things
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay in kelinki, as it was a bit of a mistake on my part at first. The compound was lovely and I felt really comfortable through my stay of 2 nights. The home I stayed in was essentially run by the family that live there, as well as other locals from the village, Dewa and Jaro were my hosts and they together made my the experience. I spent a fair bit of my stay learning about Balinese culture and history of Bali. This was probably the best part along with the beautiful Balinese food that was prepared for me. There is only one room for guests with a queen sized bed, wifi is available and is good enough for you to catch up with things. This would best suit people that have stayed in house stays and want to learn about Balinese culture. There are small shops nearby to grab small items and the locals are very friendly. Definitely recommend to people wanting to learn about culture and be off the beaten track. Take the bike tour that runs from the location and enjoy a great downhill journey through the countryside with local tour guides. You will have the special coffee and they will feed you very well all through the tour. suksma Jaro and Dewa

Authentic stay
A different experience, but lovely to spend time with a family in their home. We felt very welcome and breakfast was delicious. Downside was that we were quite far out of Ubud, but our host was happy to drive us for a small charge.

Clean, helpfull, friendly, fantastic
My boyfriend Thomas and I booked two nights, but when we first came here, we realized that we just had to expend our stay at Koko and his family! It is an really local area and even though it is a little way from Ubud, there is still great opportunites to make unforgettable experiences. Near Koko there are some wonderfull rice fields where we among other things helped the local people with seeding the rice. You only have to ask. We also went to the nightmarket not far away, where the local people eat and the food there taste really good and is very cheap. One day Thomas played volleyball with koko's team. Talented guys! We also went to the local School and played ball with the kids. You can go to the local tempel and see Cockfighting. That was the few of many things we did. Besides that, Koko's family are lovely. Always smiling and helpfull and serves very nice balinese food. We felt really comfortable here and are looking forward to the next time coming here. Koko can also arrange all sorts of things for you, and he speaks good english. We can totally recommend this place, especially if you are interested in how the local live.

Wohnen in Familie
Toller privater Wohnkomplex mit 2 verfügbaren Zimmern. Schöner gepflegter Innenhof mit Familientempel (Hindu). Auffindbarkeit schwierig, eher zum Haupthotel (Homestay ist angegliedert, aber rund 3 Minuten entfernt), am Besten abholen lassen. Ohne Auto eher nicht zu empfehlen. Ansonsten top Preis Leistung, super sauberes Zimmer mit kleiner Terasse für das Frühstück. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Haupthotel (Pool) kann mitgenutzt werden.

Homestay bij lieve mensen die erg hun best doen
Homestay op loopafstand van het hotel. Je kunt ook gebruik maken van de faciliteiten van het hotel zoals zwembad, restaurant en pendelbusje naar Ubud. De eigenaar van de homestay rijdt tevens de dagtochten, die je naar wens met hem kunt bespreken. Dagelijks worden de handdoeken verschoond en de kamer opgeruimd. Als welkom lagen er overal bloemetjes. Lief!

Vreselijk
LET OP dit is niet in Ubud. Dat was al het eerste waar we achter kwamen toen we binnen kwamen. Je komt eerst aan bij een hotel en vraagt je dus af of je op de goede plek bent. Vervolgens word je door hun taxi naar de Homestay gebracht. Die zou daar op ons wachten, want we hadden al gezegd dat we misschien wel gewoon wouden cancelen. Vervolgens wouden we dus praten met de eigenaar, maar die was er niet en er was NIEMAND die engels sprak, of maar iets van communiceren had gehoord. Zelfs als je hotel zei en dan met handen en voeten telefoon duidelijk maakte. Dus VRESELIJK. Cancelen was ook niet mogelijk!!!!

Kamer bij mensen thuis.
Word de indruk gewekt dat deze kamers bij een hotel horen. Kamers zijn bij mensen thuis ergens in een klein dorpje waar verder niets is.Je hebt echt een auto of scooter om weg te komen. Lopen is geen optie. Kamers zijn verder schoon en netjes, alleen s'morgens vroeg al een hoop herrie van de straat.

Homestay of hotel?
De homestay is 10 minuten per auto van het hotel verwijderd. Je mag dan wel van de faciliteiten van het hotel gebruik maken. We hebben toen gekozen om dan toch maar bij te betalen en in het hotel te slapen. Mooie kamers, heel schoon en goed onderhouden. Het personeel is erg aardig en behulpzaam. De spa is nog in aanbouw(, juli 2014). Er zijn heel veel trappen, dus als je slechter ter been bent best lastig. Maar de ligging is wel super mooi. Dus al met al er prettig. Als je langer als 2 nachten blijft krijg je een rondleiding door de omgeving. Dat was geweldig! Heel enthousiaste en leuke gids, we hebben veel geleerd over het leven in hun dorp en over de natuur en de geschiedenis..
