The Kampung

It was my second time in 6 years and they didn't disappoint. Celebrated my 60th birthday with a group of friends. Had an amazing time. The staff is just super amazing at this beautiful place. Excellent breakfast every morning. They also arranged for snorkeling trips and massages, all really good and well priced. Will highly recommend.

Great location on the beach, very beautiful set up, nice swimming pool, comfortable beds. The house entirely wooden has a cool old school feel, seems pretty clean (except for the kitchen) and each room has its own bathroom. There’s coral reef accessible from the beach directly which is great for snorkeling.

Breakfast is the real weak point. Only two options to choose from, eggs with bad quality bread, or good pancakes, but that’s it. After a few days we were tired of it. The diner option are not great either. There’s a kitchen but it’s dirty, thankfully there’s a lot of very good restaurants around to eat well. The house is very nice but super dark, very difficult to see inside, this can be easily fixed with good lighting.

Firstly, the location was just perfect. The kampung villa was just an amazing, lovely view. the only thing is that sometimes you might want privacy, and people trying will come to sell stuff. The staff, especially Tan Tan and Aunty Wayan, were so good, very welcoming, and very helpful, Tan Tan was always available to help no matter what time, Tan and Aunty Wayan made lovely breakfast every morning and recommended a brilliant halal restaurant who also did deliveries for us. 10/10, thank you so much Tan Tan. We will be back

It is like walking onto a movie set. The individual kampung style rooms are the essence of bali village style, comfortable with a incredible views no matter where you sat. The generously sized pool and dining/lounging pavilion were icing on the cake. We had a wonderful stay and staff are amazing, generous and friendly in true Balinese fashion. We as three friends found it perfect to be together and to be alone.

Beautiful villa Huge beautiful warm pool Motorbikes arranged. Beautiful sunrises. Felt safe In house massage arranged- cheap Breakfast beautiful but had to pay for juice/ nasi goreng.. I think this should be part of the deal co side ring how much we are paying.

Absolute luxury. The staff are amazing and the place is meticulously taken care of. We spent most of the time in the communal area and pool which is a wonderful place to relax. I especially loved taking the kayak out at sunset.

No complaints.

We loved the nostalgic old wooden kampung house, the beautiful pool, the sea views and the staff! We also loved that the Kampung is surrounded by rice paddies. Having breakfast every morning on the large patio while sipping coffee and watching the ocean was a great way to start our day. Private massage can be arranged on the pool deck and evening BBQ's are available at a reasonable extra cost. Arranging transportation was very easy and Ketut and the rest of the staff are lovely and attentive. Water pressure is a big bonus and beds have mozzie nets. The AC is also outstanding. There is an Aldi's down the road (within walking distance) where they sell lots of expat provisions (ie wine, yogurt, jams, fresh baked breads, etc). There are smaller local shops nearby as well.

We loved everything, but if you are not a nature lover, not able to deal with creepy critters, and afraid of remote areas, The Kampung might not be your flavor. One needs a motorcycle to get around in Amed. If you are not comfortable on scooters, Amed is not the place to learn. The roads can be extremely dangerous. Thankfully, Ketut and her staff can arrange transport for you anywhere you need to go. Amed is three hours from Denpasar Airport. Sometimes that can turn into four hours depending on the day of the week and time of year. There are small clinics in the Amed area, but no major hospitals. The roads to and from are windy and highly trafficked by construction trucks. These are not necessarily things that we did not like, but many people may not be aware of the remoteness of this area.
