Nirarta Centre for Living Awareness

We loved the location right on the edge of the rice fields. It was beautiful sitting on our own balcony watching life go by on the rice paddies & the rapid below the hotel.

Everything was great…not perfect but pretty darn good.

Nirarta is a lovely space to spend time away from the hustle and bustle. Tucked away from the main road, the views from our suite and the balcony of the restaurant are expansive and magnificent. The Center is also well located and walking distance to many good surrounding restaurants and shops. The property is well cared for, you can feel the thought and love that went through here. A shout out to the team working there, they are helpful, sweet and friendly. The rooms are spacious, well thought out in terms of amenities, and very clean. We felt very comfortable during our stay there and would definitely come back again. If you’re looking for a place to come and rejuvenate, or looking for a place to hold a program or event, look no further. Nirarta Center of Living Awareness is the place to be.

It was good, spacious and freshly renovated room with nice furniture, comfortable bed and no any mold there! Which is rare in Bali.

Toilet window doesn’t have any glass. Just the hole without any glass and lock. It’s ok if the toilet door has any locker from inside the room and I can lock it during night or when I away. But there is no any lock at the toilet door from inside the room, so I didn’t feel 100% safe there. Also one of the window lock didn’t work and window was permanently open. It was easy to get inside while I’m sleeping or when I’m not in the room. We all know how often some robberies happen in Bali in such a ways and if I would be more anxious person I couldn’t sleep in such a room. Or if I have some much cash or expensive belongings in my luggage. That was not nice thing. And also ceiling was leaking a bit.

Nirarta is located in what is easily the most beautiful area I’ve seen in Bali—just look at the view from the restaurant! This was a quiet and restful stay. The facilities exceeded expectations—very clean, spacious, and well-maintained. If you have the chance, make sure to meet Peter, the founder. Meeting him was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Bali.

This is a beautiful hotel consisting of several houses with a few rooms. Our room was in the top floor of the houses, we had a beautiful view over the rice teracces. The room is very beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. The onsite restaurant serves delicious food and the only thing you can hear is the calming river in the valley below.

The bathroom is "open", so you can have mosquittos inside. Not all staff members speak English - we had some problems communicating when no english staff was nearby. For checkin and checkout english staff was available though. The location is a bit "off" but in the area of the other hotels in Sideman. So you are not next to the village but still have lots of services very close by like other restaurants, scooter rental etc.

Very beautiful location and friendly stuff! Was a bit worried about bugs after reading the reviews, but we didn’t have much trouble. Suppose because end of dry season.

No AC, take in mind if this is an issue for you!
