Great location right on the beach! Step outside your front door and there you are. You will however get the authentic experience with barking dogs and roosters during the day, plus the motor from the winch to pull the boats in. But I wasn’t too bothered by any of that, it wasn’t constant and made me feel privileged to enjoy local life up close. I just got a chuckle out of it all. Overall the room is basic, but comfortable. It was really nice to be able to sit on the day bed out front and just relax and watch the world go by. Putu (owner) is so nice and we had some great conversations, I learnt a lot! He got in touch to see if I had transport to Amed and offered a great price to pick me up in Sidemen and take me via Tirta Gangga. He also got a friend and I back down to Sanur via Taman Ujung for a good price, considering the length of the time of the journey.

Needs a tap out front to be able to wash sand off from the beach before coming onto the terrace and inside, I had sand everywhere. Paint and plaster coming away from the walls, it could do with a bit of a refresh.

Beautiful view from the porch/bed and loved being able to pull our scooter right up to the cottage. We liked the lounge chair as well as table and chairs on the patio and the mini fridge with kettle, water, etc was really nice to have. Felt dreamy to be able to wake up at the beach on a budget! It was nice to have the feel of being in a local neighbourhood as opposed to hotel central while having all amenities nearby.

There are a lot of roosters in the neighbourhood that seem to wake at any hour of night; so that combined with little sound insulation in the palm frond roof meant a lot of noise and a less than great sleep. Earplugs should do the trick! The walls could also use some love as the paint is flaking in the some areas.

I had a lovely stay. Putu is a lovely and very friendly man. He picked me up from Ubud, and we had a lovely chat the whole way. The accommodation is simple but just what I needed. Comfortable bed, clean room, and I loved waking up every morning opening the blinds and having the gorgeous view of the beach right in front of me. There is also a kettle and coffee and tea supplied. It's a great location. I don't ride a scooter so I was able to walk to many restaurants, the area of the beach that is for snorkling and around the many shops. I think it would be great to have some mosquito wicks as there are lots of mosquitoes but thankfully there is a mosquito net for the bed which was great!

The shower could be cleaner, it works very well but there was grime building up under the stones.

Clean and comfortable stay located in one of the most beautiful locations possible. The room is located right in front of the beach, you take one step outside and there's a full view of Mt Agung right in front of you. The bed was large and comfortable, the room had a mosquito net, good air conditioning, a small fridge with an attached bathroom. The location had lots of warungs and a handful of shops located within walking distance. Fishermen next door can take you to snorkelling spots. Putu, our host was always available for any help and he provides taxi pickup and drop at a reasonable price and also offers to stop by destinations that fall on the way. We had a wonderful time and we'll definitely visit again.

Everything was perfect!

Lovely place to stay in Amed if you want to be ON the beach. Basic small and simple room, but it was clean and perfect for us. All we needed for our stay to enjoy living on the beach, having our patio on the beach and a step away from having our feet in the sand. Quiet location yet next to the Main Street with nice cafes and restaurants and near everything. Super friendly and kind and helpful host. We would come back! Thank you again for everything Putu!

Everything was perfect for us. But if you are looking for luxury or are easily bothered by the sounds of nature like the sea, the chickens on the beach, the dogs from the neighbours, then maybe not the place for you. For us it was fine and part of staying in the beach.

If you are looking for a quiet place, at three steps from the Ocean, you must book here! Putu Is very welcoming and kind. Amed Is famous for snorkeling and diving and you can admire corals and tropical fishes very close to the bay! (And if you are lucky, u can see turtles 🐢) I truly recommend Tambun Sari Beach Homestay if you want to live free and barefoot 😁

Great location right on the beach with all we needed. Nice decorated bathroom in natural style, large bed with clean beddings and net arround, water tank with cold and also hot water and we appreciated the large knife with the cutting board so we could enjoy our fruit bought nearby on the main road. Putu is polite and wise guy which can help with transport etc… We stayed for 5 nights and found great restaurant just opposite the homestay called GHasari Warunk so we ate here almost all the time as their price and quality are the best in nearest area. So whole package for pleasant holiday in here…highly recommended :)

Putu is a wonderful host. The room couldn’t be any closer to the sea, which is quite an experience in the rainy season. You can walk anywhere to nice restaurants and shops and a dip in the sea is right at the doorstep.

It’s a little small to stay longer with little storage space, and it’s quite damp being so close by the sea. Bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise.

Couldn’t get closer to the sea if you tried, so relaxing listening to the waves. Bed has mosquito net which was really helpful. Has a fridge aswell as kettle and tea/coffee. Location is great close to everything lots of warung in walking distance. Putu helped us to rent a scooter which was really good quality also and he recommended some places for us to go. Putu also drove us to our next location for a great price. Couldn’t of been more helpful Thankyou!

Nothing everything was perfect

The location is in the center of Amed, with tours, warungs, shops and ATMs within a walking distance, and Jemeluk is also very near. The space was comfortable and I enjoyed the views and relaxing from the front patio. It is definitely a local experience and Putu is a fine host.

I was comfortable with this local experience and would go back, but some people will take issue with the noise mentioned in the comments.
