Had the most amazing stay in Bali! Rindu Homestay was the best place I could go to recharge and find peace and quiet. I spent a few nights the first time, then went back again, after I hit the most touristic spots in the island, to relax and ride a bike through the forest. The services and hospitality were exceptional, the hosts were helpful with tips on excursions and and keen for a chat. Not to mention the breakfasts and snacks, and the smiles! 10 Bintang (stars) are not enough. A must in Bali!!

The family was so lovely and made us feel totally at home. Even though we only stayed for two nights we already felt like we were part of their home. Their support was so helpful for our trip and the homemade food after our arrival was wonderful. Big plus was the hot shower!! The rooms were so tidy and clean and it was so special to sleep in a traditional Balinese home with a family temple right next to our room. So thank you so much for everything!!

Location is a little tricky to get to, however once you reach there, it takes you by surprise as this is a gem in the jungle. Expect a few flies or midges, but nothing a bit of spray didn’t get rid of.

Staying at this homestay was an unforgettable experience, marked by the exceptional kindness and warmth of the hosts. As a solo traveler with two children—a 15-year-old and a 2-year-old—I was initially apprehensive about how we would be received. However, from the moment we arrived, it was clear that we were in good hands. The family running the homestay went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable and well-cared for throughout our stay. Their genuine hospitality made us feel like part of their family. My two-year-old quickly made new friends among the household. The atmosphere was always welcoming and friendly, fostering a sense of belonging that is rare to find while traveling. What started as a one-night booking turned into a two-night stay because we simply didn't want to leave. Each day was filled with relaxation and joy. The highlight was undoubtedly the home-cooked authentic Balinese food, which was both delicious and a wonderful introduction to the local cuisine and dressing up in traditional Balinese clothing, and just being part of the family. It was a beautiful stay. Highly recommend.

Rindu Homestay is the best choice for an authentic local experience. The family is amazing and extremely welcoming and the room is wide clean and comfy. The village is close to some amazing waterfalls and to Bangli. Strongly suggested!

Cold shower, because you are surrounded by nature you can expect some ants, etc

Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They helped us organise all the activities and made sure we got the best price. You can also rent a scooter at the property which was handy. They always had free drinking water, tea and coffee available and really good breakfast for an extra charge. The neighbourhood is calm and there are many beautiful waterfalls nearby. Would love to come back some day.

Beautiful home stay with lovely family! Delicious breakfast served and the host spoke very good English and gave us some great recommendations and told us a bit about his culture. There are many beautiful waterfalls in the area only a 8-10 min motor bike ride away.

Beautiful homestay, great family loved my stay, host speaks very good French and English he is a guide so he can organize any tour you want, I was invited to a very special ceremony at the village temple it was an Honor and a great experience, while trekking the rice fields I was invited by a very man to his farm to taste fresh fruits Durian an passion fruit, and speak English to him so he could practice. If you have a motorbike you are within 30 minutes from great Waterfalls and the most beautiful village in Bali Penglipuran Village.

The furnishings are a little outdated, but this is very forgivable.

It was one of the best homestays we have ever visited. The family was so adorable, helpful and open hearted. They told us a lot about their culture and we were cooked fresh food every day. One of our scooters had a flat tyre when we arrived. They took care of it immediately.

People there and the care

A loving and friendly family with very comfortable and clean homestay guestrooms with a nice sitout area. The hosts are also very resourceful and will help in any way they can. By the time it was time to leave we felt like we were leaving our family. Loved it all.

The worst thing was that we couldn't stay longer :( It would be great having a mosquito net, but we didn't see any mosquito during our stay, so it was not big deal.

The place is magical and the family is the kindest you will ever meet. Lovely people who would do their best for make you feel at home, taking care of every details, cooking homenade food or teaching you their language and their traditions. You must stay here if you want to stay with an authentic (and great) Balinese family.

Amazing place, so beautiful, peaceful and authentic. The whole family compound looks magnificent and the family is very warm-hearted. A plus (which might be important to some travelers): hot shower. I would give a rating of 20 if was possible :)

The place is located in a very small town, but a scooter is needed to get to local restaurants about 7-10 minutes drive away. There are a couple high-end hotels nearby where you can eat, but these are a bit pricey. (Although one is located in a beautiful rice field.) You can eat at the homestay, but the menu is very limited. There are waterfalls in the area, but again, a scooter is needed to reach them.

The room was big and pretty comfortable. The host was away, but he kept in touch and was very helpful. His wife, although not able to speak a lot of English, was very, very helpful and did her best to be available, but also respected my privacy. I appreciated their help. A scooter can be rented at the property.

My heart is so full after my stay here. The owners made me feel right at home, and included me in local traditions. It was truly the best experience I have had in Bali. The location is great as well-tons to do in the area from the Besakih temple (30m) to one of the most famous waterfalls in Bali (10m). It is worth the stay here! Highly recommend whether you are single, with a significant other, with friends or with a family.

it’s not a complaint about the owner or the honestly: just recognize there’s no scooter rental anywhere near. so if you prefer doing tours on your own make sure you’ll arrive with a scooter :) but: if you’re not into riding your own scooter the owner will offer great tours.

Rindu Homestay is a great place to stay outside of the busy tourist areas. it’s located in a small village, from where you can easily drive to places like Tirta Gangga or Pura Bekasih. The family is amazing! they’ve been super welcoming, the food served was delicious. since the owner used to work as a tour guide, he gave us to tours around the area and to the temples named below. we can really recommend! the room is very clean :)
