This place was so good, I almost don't want to leave a review, lest I contribute to its discovery! Where to start? Firstly, the staff really made an effort to make our honeymoon special and their attention to detail was wonderful. When we arrived we were greeted by the very friendly and professional young guy at reception (Gede possibly?), who... More

My Husband and I stopped at Surya Shanti for a few nights on our honeymoon. I found this hotel to be a little slice of heaven. Sidemen is one of the most relaxing, peaceful places I have ever visited. This hotel is in complete harmony with it's environment . The property is magnificent, covered in gardens and fish ponds and... More

I've never written a Trip Advisor review before (lazy), but this place is just that special! My husband and I had some trouble contacting the Surya Shanti by phone, and were late and stressed out by the time we found this place tucked into the rice paddy covered hillside, well past dark. The staff greeted us warmly and took us... More

This place was so different from all the other places we've stayed in Bali- it's amazing how many different landscapes this tiny island has. This is a truly rural part of Bali where you are surrounded by fields and see the villagers tending to their land. All sorts of vegetables, nuts and of course rice are grown on this fertile... More

We were told it was a great place to stay. The welcome desk is cold and did not pay attention to the requests we've made previously. So, hopefully, the hotel was not full and we could - after negotiation - move from a room to another. Pay attention to the fact that there are lots of stairs in this hotel... More

the surya shanti villas are wonderful designed and perfect integrated in the nature. the view from the upper level rooms is fantastic, the interior is simply stylish, all in white and brown colours, really beautiful. only the food in the restaurant is not really good! bad taste and too expensive. (prices are exclusive 21% tax + service charge). It's a... More

We stayed at the Surya Shanti for 2 nights as part of our 10-day honeymoon in Bali. We went for top-notch accommodation in Seminyak and Ubud and we made the trip to Sidemen (which was out of our way), just to stay at this property. And we certainly did not regret it! We stayed in Agung 2, which had beautiful... More

This is a beautifully located hotel. our personal experience was not good, unfortunately, as upon our arrival we were told that our Gunung view room booked on their website had already been taken. As lovers of East Bali the pivotal experience is to experience the fantastic view of the awe inspiring Gunung agung which we first experienced when staying at... More

Absolutely brilliant. I have been to Bali 5 times already and this is (together with Villa Blubambu in Seminyak) the best place I have ever stayed. The location is so beautiful it took my breath away. The villa (Rama) was fantastic. The space, the bathroom but most of all the view! Lovely staff and great food. Thank you SO much.... More

We were in Sidemen and happened upon this fabulous property while walking. We changed our itinerary and stayed an extra 6 nights. The staff and management were outstanding. The property is owned by French and Balinese. The food was the best of our month in Bali. We thought the meal prices were reasonable for the quality. Both pools were surrounded... More
