Kanda Homestay

I enjoyed this stay very much. Jack has an adorable mindset and big heart. For me as a cat lover there could not have been any better place with all the rescue kitties around and so clean and well kept. Beautiful tropical plants all around the house making it look like a mini jungle. And the room was so so beautiful! Natural materials and the design so warm and chic at the same time. Big bathroom, also very nice and hot water all the time what was quite essential at the time of my stay😄 Well walkable distance to anywhere in Sidemen and surroundings. Unfortunately I could not join any of Jacks private tours but will keep this for my next visit!

I spent only two days here, but it was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with incredible warmth and kindness. The accommodation was perfect — peaceful, well-equipped, and surrounded by nature. The breakfast was exceptional, and everything was exactly as described… if not better. But above all, it’s the people I’ll never forget. During my stay, I had a scooter accident, and they didn’t hesitate for a second — they spent the entire day with me, taking me to the hospital, staying by my side, and making sure I was okay. I had never experienced such genuine kindness and care in my life. It was a true immersion in the local culture, filled with humanity and generosity. Leaving was heartbreaking. I feel deeply grateful to have crossed paths with such incredible hosts. A heartfelt thank you to Jack’s brother, to Nick, to Madé, and to Jack himself — your kindness truly moved me. ❤️ I highly recommend this place to any traveler looking for an authentic Balinese experience, a real sense of escape, and above all, true human connection. The exchanges I had here were truly unforgettable.

Banana pancake for breakfast was delicious. The location is nicely quiet and a lot of cute cats around.

Lovely guest house in Sidemen, with three well-presented ensuite rooms. The owner (Jack) is super helpful, and if you get the chance go on his day tour of rice paddies, local village life, a beautiful waterfall, and lunch at his sister's house. It's a short walk down the road to eat at local warungs or hotel/resort restaurants. Enjoyed my stay, this is the real Bali.

Peaceful , bright and airy. Great host and wonderful family. It’s a gem.

Very nice, authentic accommodation in a quiet area. Many restaurants within walking distance. It made our stay very special when we went on a trip with Jack. It was an unforgettable experience to see the daily life of the locals. We had a delicious, authentic lunch at his sister's house, saw how traditional sarongs are made. We also saw how a local spirit, arak, is made. When you book here you don't just get a place to stay, you get an experience of a lifetime! Especially recommended if you want to experience the real Bali and not just the touristy places.

Super nice stay in Sidemen, the family running it is super helpful and they'll be happy to accomodate your requests (drivers, scooters, ..) and to share insights on local culture. Really recommended!

We loved our stay at Kanda Homestay ! Jack was so welcoming as was his family. Recommend doing the tour with Jack, as he you shows the real Sidemen and this was definitely the highlight of our time here. The breakfast was tasty and the bungalow is exactly as seen in the pictures.
