Wikan House♡

Guest review

10.0

J’ai séjourné chez Putra, Ratna et leur fils Wikan, et c’est sans hésiter l’un de mes meilleurs souvenirs à Bali. Si vous cherchez une grande villa avec piscine, passez votre chemin. En revanche, si vous avez envie de découvrir Bali de manière authentique, d’être accueilli comme un invité plutôt que comme un simple client, alors je ne peux que vous recommander Wikan House. La maison est confortable, très calme, toujours impeccable et entourée de nature. Chaque matin, le petit-déjeuner est préparé avec soin, mais ce qui fait vraiment la différence, c’est la famille. Putra et Ratna sont d’une gentillesse rare, toujours prêts à partager un conseil, une discussion ou un sourire. Au-delà d’un logement, c’est une véritable rencontre. Plusieurs années après mon premier séjour, je suis toujours en contact avec eux. C’est le genre d’endroit qui donne envie de revenir à Bali. Si vous hésitez entre une villa impersonnelle et une homestay, choisissez l’expérience humaine. C’est souvent ce dont on se souvient le plus en rentrant de voyage. C’est toujours ici que je dors lorsque je suis de passage dans la région de Karangasem.

Wikan homestay is managed by the delightful couple, ratna and putra. They are gracious hosts, and are kind, welcoming and intentional. I loved learning about their culture and swapping perspectives with them. Putra makes wonderful breakfasts, which is something to look forward to. The place grows on you, although i would say - you have to truly want to experience a balinese living, to be able to stay here. It most certainly is in the center of a village.

− They did not have hot water during my stay, and at best it was lukewarm.

We miss you already!

When we were leaving your house we got truly sad, to the point we kinda cried in the bike. It was amazing how welcomed you made us feel, not only you two but your whole family. I was so grateful that we choose to stay there, it was one of the best parts of my trip in Indonesia! Thank you so much! For all the travelers in doubt where to stay Wikan's house is perfect! Putra and Radna will treat you with so much love and care that you feel truly relaxed. The breakfast was amazing, by far the best one we had in all our stays! The bed was comfortable, the place was so green, the village is quiet but very close to big cities, Radna is so sweet and I loved talking to her! They made sure we knew where to go and even helped us sharing a few not so famous locations! They offer dinner (you pay a part) and the food is so amazingly good!!!! I miss mama, papa, and the kids as well. When I'm back in Indonesia I will make sure to stay there for a longer period of time! Thank you so much for our stay!

A safe place!

When I first arrived, I was in shock and wanted to give this place a 3-star rating, but with each passing day, I mentally added one more star. In the end, I stayed there for 6 days and didn't want to leave. It was an absolute relaxation, thanks to the stunning natural surroundings, the tranquility, and the wonderful hosts. It was like a rehab from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Ratna and Putra thanks for all!!!

− The small room had a slight musty smell coming from the wooden walls.

True Balinese hospitality in every sense. The host welcome you into their family home and treat you as friends. Putra, the host, has family ties to the small village for generations and is passionate about sharing the history and culture of traditional Bali life - his tour around the village and through the communal rice fields has been a highlight of our travels. Wonderful experience!

Putra & Ratna offer great food & genuine happiness, it is a pleasure to stay there.

you stay inside the family compound & they are the most welcoming people ever. There are a couple of walks you can do, firstly to Samsara (Living Museum) & the Raya honey farm. Both take you through small villages with endless smiling faces, running streams & towering trees. It soothes the soul.
