We loved everything about this place and ended up staying 10 days. It’s heaven on earth. Staff are exceptional. Cleanliness is superb. Ayu went out of her way to really make our stay welcome. She is just so kind, professional and helps you understand the culture of Bali. I hope we became friends! We stayed in the new glamping location and then we also booked for the pool villa. Both fantastic. Love everyone including Jeni, Daisy, Ari, Dewi, Adi, and Giri and more. They are such welcoming and kind staff and really make you feel like you are at home. The hotel is located at a very beautiful location, near villages and the view is spectacular. I hope all the views remain this way as you get to see the rice farmers tend to their farm. It’s a sleepy location and perfect for those who wish to experience Bali, its local culture and a simpler life. If partying and clubbing and shopping is your thing then it’s not the place but if you travel to be in Bali to see Bali and its beautiful culture and nature, then look no further. We also had a few massages and Monica is very good and also explains any issues and tensions you may have. Really excellent and relaxing massages.

Nothing except just a gentle request to perhaps change the menu from time to time because if you stay for 10 days, choices can feel limited. Although the staff did make changes for me and added new ingredients like Mango and Dragonfruit. They also remembered our preferences. Really we miss everyone!

Absolutely wonderful!

The air-conditioning unit in our room did not have an auto function. We called the staff about that but they did not have a solution. Either the room was freezing cold or humid and stuffy if we turned off the AC. There was no coffee machine in our room. We were told that only suites have a coffee machine. It was really not the response I expected to receive in a five-star hotel.

Our stay at Wapa di Ume was exceptional. The stunning location and beautiful facilities are reason enough to stay, but it was the staff who truly made our experience unforgettable. Ayu gave us a warm welcome and supported us throughout our stay, always responding promptly on WhatsApp and greeting us by name with genuine warmth. Gede, our tour guide and driver, went above and beyond to personalise our trip, his kindness and local knowledge made our time in Sidemen even more special. We recommend both the Gembleng Waterfall Tour and local sightseeing tour with Gede. The cooking class was a highlight, fun, engaging, and led by staff with a great sense of humour. We also had a lovely chat with the hotel manager, Sri, who embodied the same incredible hospitality. On arrival, we were surprised with a complimentary bottle of wine, cake, a happy anniversary message, and a flower bath, and when we left we were given a parting gift, such thoughtful touches that reflect the care this hotel gives to its guests.

The Stuff is very friendly and everything in the rooms, restaurant and the grounds is very clean. Everything is very luxury and has also its price. On the other side they carry you on hands. If you like this, you’re right at wapa the ume. Very big rooms, super comfy bed and if you are lucky also a super nice view.

We didn’t really liked the pool. It was always quite full and hard to find a space to lay down. And often there were also kids jumping and splashing. Nobody there to supervise anything. Also nobody there to serve you drinks or small bites. The water looked murky… we were in way cheaper hotels before and the pool water was always clear. A bit of a bummer to be honest. The wifi wasn’t strong and disconnected all the time. The wifi only worked properly at the small local restaurant right next to the hotel. Tours are super overpriced in the hotel but you don’t need to organize anything yourself. If you like it this way, go for it.

This was our 3rd time in Wapa di Ume Sidemen and it didn’t disappoint. This is our absolute favourite place in Bali - the pick us was on time, very comfortable car ride (with the option to catch up on sleep) after a long flight, warm welcome in the resort, beautiful rooms, amazing activities offered by the hotel, fantastic massage, but the the best is simply the personnel - attentive, kind and ready to share their knowledge about Bali and its culture. I highly recommend to go on a tour with one of the guides! On our arrival the reception was very busy and the pool area got busy too, because they welcome more guests than in the years before, but this should be sorted out soon, when the construction will be finished.

It was very busy on our check in day and we had to wait a few hours until we could enter our rooms

Wapa di Ume Sidemen is not just a hotel but an absolute fantastic luxurious experience that keeps on giving. Apart from the amazing views of the Sidemen valley, the rice fields and the water stream you are truly treated like a royal family member. The quality of the personnel and the stay, in our case the luxe tent with pool is impeccable. We really enjoyed the personal care and fun we had with the staff who all remembered our names. The restaurant staff were caring and the food was delicious, special thanks to Santa and Indah from the restaurant. Passing by the front desk we were always greeted warmly and were asked if we were all good. They were happy to assist us with whatever we needed such as tours, advice and more. Another highlight is the transfers and car services, you are given water, cold towels and well air conditioned vehicles thank you Hardi for the nice trip. We want to personally thank Ayu for the amazing private cultural experience we had making the Canang sari (offering) and for our lovely conversations and our photo memory letter. We will definitely come back!

The hotel is tucked away with lovely views on the surrounding hills and scenery. We enjoyed the best views from the restaurant and pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The tours offered are on the higher price range, but the cars are new and the drivers speak English and drive carefully.

The resort has been enlarged considerably, but didn‘t feel crowded. Some areas like the lower pool and the bar and chairs on the river bank were not open. In the room, the bathtub took all the space needed to move around, especially since there is no wardrobe and you live out of your suitcases.

This hotel is stunning. Located overlooking rice terraces in Sidemen village. 5 star from moment of arrival. Rooms were huge with big balconies. Beds comfortable. Restaurant food was delicious . Staff were fabulous and Wape hotels smell absolutely gorgeous.

Would have loved a chaise longe rather than simple table and chairs on the balcony. Glass bottles for shower gel etc not ideal… difficult to open with wet hands. Our 11yr old dropped one and broke glass all over the shower. Staff sorted this immediately though. Shower could have been warmer and stronger. Afternoon tea was hugely disappointing and choice of happy hour cocktails v limited.

Beautiful. It is as per the photos. Staff were friendly and egger to assist. We were upgraded because of our anniversary which was appreciated. Room was spacious and comfortable.

Confusing why there is a lack of service around the pool. Especially because there were so many staff in the restaurant upstairs. No clean towels, hours to clear up an area after guests leave the pool area & no drink or food orders taken by staff around the pool. You had to order over a phone and it was difficult to find menus. A shame because it was an area you did not want to leave.

Nice villa with a private pool. Amazing views from the villa and the restaurant. Included free activities like trekking and yoga. Useable gym. Staff is very responsive on whatsapp - super convenient for requests. Quiet location to relax. Not a lot of insects, despite the horror stories. Staff is extremely friendly and accomodating.

No major issues - only nitpicks: A couple of spots were under construction could have been fenced better - a bit of a hazard at night. Not much to do around the area - have to drive for 30+ minutes to get anywhere. Restaurant is a bit pricy for what it is.
