The hype
Guests are blown away by the magical design and views, calling it a 'once in a lifetime' stay, but many note it's more of a glamping experience than a luxury hotel.

Чому люди це люблять
- Architectural marvels: bamboo houses shaped like owls, cobras, and mantas
- The 'Scorpion' house has a bed on tracks that slides out of the room
- Unfiltered views of Mount Agung and lush rice terraces from your bed
Короткий огляд: A stunning, photogenic architectural feat that forces you to coexist intimately with nature—heat, insects, and roosters included.
Переглянуто @Travelholicday: I stayed in the Octopus House and it was a total dream. Taking that bamboo elevator up to my private rooftop pool while looking out at the rice fields was a core memory. It’s a bit far from town, but waking up in this bamboo masterpiece is 100% worth the drive.

Reality check
The heat and humidity without AC can be stifling, and the 'jungle noises' (roosters at 4am, construction machinery) often ruin the peace.
- You are an influencer or photographer chasing the perfect shot
- You enjoy 'soft adventure' and don't mind bugs or humidity
- You want to wake up to sunrise views of a volcano
Чистота та обслуговування
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is thorough, but nature fights back instantly.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but open-air design means leaves or bugs can appear minutes after cleaning.
- Maintenance: Bamboo requires constant care; expect some creaks and wear, but generally well-kept.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, but can feel damp due to high humidity.
- Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air mixed with occasional damp bamboo or smoke from burning rice fields.

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is there really no air conditioning?
Yes, really. They provide fans and 'coolers' (evaporative), but the houses are open-air bamboo structures designed for natural ventilation.
Are there bugs in the room?
Absolutely. It is an open-air bamboo house. You will likely see ants, geckos, spiders, and moths inside.
Is it private?
Not entirely. Farmers walk the rice paddies right in front of your pool, and other villas or construction sites may overlook you.
How do I get food?
There is a small kitchenette and room service available (often from a nearby warung), plus a few restaurants within walking distance.
Is the pool private?
Yes, each bamboo house has its own small private pool, though visibility from outside varies.
Is it suitable for kids?
Generally no. The open structures, steep stairs, lack of railings, and pool drops make it unsafe for young children.
Поради знавців
- ✨
The 'Octopus' house has a bizarre 'pair of toilets' installed side-by-side—a funny photo op or awkward experience depending on your travel partner.
- ✨
Request the 'floating breakfast' in advance; it sells out because everyone wants the photo.
- ✨
Don't rely on the 'open air elevator' in the Octopus house being a smooth ride; it's more of a mechanical novelty.
5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The humidity makes everything feel slightly damp, including the sheets.
💡You might have a 'gecko roommate' who chirps loudly at night (they eat the mosquitoes, so they are friends).
💡The 'moving bed' in the Scorpion house is manually operated or slow—it's cool but finicky.
💡Construction noise in Sidemen is increasing as the area becomes the 'new Ubud'.
💡The 'open air bathroom' means you are showering with nature watching you.
