D'SARI UNDISAN Houses

On se retrouve comme dans une famille, avec des personnes formidables et accueillantes, toujours avec le sourire. Bien sûr, il faut sortir de la chambre pour accéder aux toilettes et à la salle de bain, rudimentaires mais propres. C'est aussi ce qui fait le prix aussi bas. La literie est confortable, le linge de lit sent bon. On a passé une nuit vraiment très confortable. Enfin, l'endroit est bien situé. Je recommande cette maison d'hôte pour toutes ces raisons, et le sens de l'hospitalité des propriétaires.

The brothers Owner (Dego) took care of our stay, even that he had his own Villas he had to handle during that stay.

- Communication was very mixed, somehow it was the owner we had to talk to but somehow it was in the responsibility of the owners brother. - The booking don’t include a private bathroom in the first place (some room a few doors next to the bedrooms, in very questionable conditions). We got the possibility to change the rooms because we were the only guests. - The double bed rooms aren’t in a good condition. - The tours we got arranged were not as we expected, but the brother and the sister in law of the owner provided us as a compensation a delicious breakfast.

Personal muy amable, me ayudaron con todo lo que necesitaba

Great authentic home far away from touristic spots. A large family lives here and they are all very kind and smiling. The easiest way to explore is to rent a scooter and discover the beautiful surroundings. The real Bali is here!

Sehr sauberes Zimmer, super nette Gastgeber, es gibt gratis Trinkwasser und wir bekamen Kaffee und Obst, sehr authentisch! Gemeinschaftsbad, kein Luxus, aber das hat für uns gut gepasst, also nichts negatives!

Tranquillité du lieu et du village, chouette contact avec les locaux qui proposent différentes activités et qui vous aident avec plaisir.

The sheets were clean and so was the floor.

No welcoming tea or coffee, no breakfast (even though that was paid for) surroundings disorganised and dirty. There was a toilet but not a flush one and there was one shower for half a dozen rooms down two sets of steps that were not undercover. I ate some plain coconut biscuits from the store up the road for dinner and boiled some water to dampen my towel to wash in the morning. Worst of all there was no lock at all on my door! When I asked the old gentleman (in signs)where it was he shrugged and indicated I should pray! The upside was the sunset and sunrise walks through the town were interesting. The road from Sideman had been made impassable after a slip and my driver had to go a very long route to get to Bangli. It was beautiful even in the rain but the back road was steep and had holes in some places large enough to break an axle. Bangli is not,NOT, an interesting stopover en route back to the airport as I had imagined, but another traditional mountain town that was expensive to get out of! I’m sure there are beautiful walks and waterfalls and interesting things to learn but my stay at D’Sari Undisan will ensure I never return.

****We were upgraded to "D SARI WOODEN House" which is on the same property as D'SARI UNDISAN Houses. Anything to do with the room is about D SARI WOODEN House (search this name on booking.com to find it), but the rest of our experience still applies to this guesthouse.**** Made, the guesthouse owner, is extremely hands-on with his guests. He makes sure anyone staying has a local experience in Undisan and showed us around the village during our stay. He took us to his family's temple ceremony (which we never would have experienced on our own), took us to a coffee farm to do an amazing tasting, organized a silver ring making workshop in the village (instead of us driving all the way to Sidemen) and showed us to some local waterfalls. The wooden house we were upgraded to is 100% the extra cost. It's beautiful inside, spotlessly clean, and the bed is massive and so comfortable. The semi-outdoor bathroom is very nice as well. You can rent a motorbike for 100K a day (about $6 USD), which is necessary to get around during your stay, unless you are willing to pay for a driver. There are no warungs within easy walking distance, so having a motorbike made our stay much more enjoyable. You can also do cooking classes and other cultural activities while you are here - just ask! If you are looking for a very local stay away from the party and over tourism of Bali, this is it.

We were not told how much the motorbike rental and ring making workshop were beforehand, but we easily could have asked. Just make sure you ask questions before joining any activities if you are on a budget.
