We
were
pretty
disappointed
with
our
one
night
stay
here.
The
reviews
are
raving
and
the
photos
don’t
quite
accurately
portray
the
condition
of
the
villa.
When
staying
in
Sidemen,
you
get
that
true
local
feel.
Rather
than
ravishing
resorts,
you
get
to
live
like
a
local
but
to
me,
the
stay
was
not
worth
what
we
paid
for
and
we
were
pretty
terrified
to
sleep
there
for
the
night.
The
best
part
of
the
stay
are
the
workers
and
the
view.
The
rice
patties
are
absolutely
stunning,
especially
under
the
soft
morning
sun.
The
staff
here
are
friendly
and
accommodating.
However,
there
are
two
basic
things
you
should
have
in
a
hotel:
cleanliness
and
sense
of
security.
The
room
was
not
clean.
The
mosquito
net
was
full
of
stains
and
holes,
which
defeat
the
purpose
of
the
net.
The
entrance
door
was
incredibly
flimsy.
Even
when
locked,
if
you
just
shimmy
the
door
a
certain
way,
you
can
enter
the
villa
without
a
key.
The
door
lock
itself
is
not
secure.
The
window
locks
are
even
more
secure
than
the
doors.
When
we
brought
up
our
concerns
to
the
staff,
we
were
told
“don’t
worry,
this
is
not
a
dangerous
area.”
That
wasn’t
what
we
wanted
to
hear
considering
this
was
our
last
night
in
Bali
and
everything
we
owned
and
purchased
on
our
trip
was
sitting
in
our
villa.
We
felt
insecure
and
somewhat
paranoid
the
whole
night
which
did
not
produce
a
restful
night.
In
addition,
the
mattress
was
very
springy
and
hard
so
it’s
not
for
side
sleepers.
The
food
quality
was
also
very
average.
We
ordered
the
fried
noodles
with
chicken,
fried
rice,
and
chicken
satay.
Both
the
fried
noodles
and
chicken
satay
were
incredibly
salty
and
hard
to
swallow.
The
only
dish
that
was
bearable
was
the
Indonesian
fried
rice.
The
breakfast
was
brought
to
our
room
and
it
was
again,
pretty
average.
The
dishes
were
dirty
and
the
ingredients
didn’t
taste
very
fresh.
Water
was
provided
in
a
dispenser
in
our
room
however
the
dispenser
was
not
clean.
There
were
green
specks
on
the
bottle
of
the
dispenser,
possibly
moss
growing.
The
doors
and
windows
are
not
completely
seal
so
air
conditioning
works
extra
hard
to
keep
the
room
cool
(not
cold).
Also
pests
are
able
to
come
into
the
room
due
to
the
cracks
and
holes.
We
had
3
lizards
come
in
during
our
very
short
stay.
Again,
my
problem
is
not
the
condition
of
the
hotel
since
it
was
in
the
country
side
but
my
stay
was
not
clean,
comfortable,
nor
felt
safe
so
we
were
not
satisfied.
I
do
not
feel
like
the
value
was
worth
it.
