Indah Homestay: Your Bali Dream Villa Awaits! (Batubelig Paradise)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because you're about to get the real deal on Indah Homestay (Batubelig Paradise). Forget the fluffy brochure – I'm about to spill the (Balinese) tea. This isn't just a review; it's a love letter, a bit of a rant, and a chaotic journey all rolled into one.
The Big Picture: Is This Batubelig Dream Real?
Let's be honest. "Dream Villa" is a HUGE promise. And Indah Homestay? Well, it mostly delivers. It's definitely got the Bali vibe down – lush gardens, that sweet, humid air, and the promise of endless sunshine. Batubelig is legit. It's got the beach, the buzz, the amazing warungs (local restaurants) you are looking for. You're in the right spot.
Accessibility: Let's Get Real
Okay, so, Wheelchair accessible? That's a bit of a question mark. They mention accessibility, but I didn't see specifics. Call ahead. Get clarity. Don't assume. This is Bali, and while beautiful, it's not always the easiest place to navigate if you have mobility issues. Elevator? Yes! Which is a huge bonus in the humidity.
On-Site Eats and Drinks: Fueling the Fun
First off, the Restaurants… they've got a few. And hey, a Poolside Bar? Genius! Picture this: You've just had a massage (more on that later), you're slightly disoriented in the best way, and bam! A perfectly chilled cocktail appears. Divine. They have Buffet in restaurant so you're not always waiting. They offer A la carte in restaurant in case you do not like the buffet option. The Happy hour I'm sure is amazing, but I am an early-to-bed on vacation, so I missed it. They offer breakfast Buffet in restaurant, and Breakfast service and they even have Breakfast takeaway service if you're the kind who needs to bolt for the beach first thing. Asian breakfast? Tick. Western Breakfast? Double tick. They had fresh fruit, which is always a win! And that Bottle of water in your room? Crucial for staying hydrated in the Bali heat. Honestly, I practically lived on water.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Day & Beyond!
Okay, this is where Indah Homestay REALLY shines. The Spa is legendary! You can get a Body scrub, a Body wrap, and a Massage that will make you weep with joy. I went for the Balinese massage, and… oh. My. God. My knots vanished! The therapist kneaded away all my stress. The Sauna and Steamroom are great, but I spent all my money on massages.
And the pool? Oh, the pool. Swimming pool [outdoor] with a Pool with view. I spent hours there. Seriously, sun, water, and a good book. Pure bliss. There is also a Gym/fitness if you were feeling energetic, they had good equipment.
Cleanliness and Safety: Comforting Peace of Mind
Okay, this part is important, especially in these times. The good news? Indah Homestay takes cleanliness seriously. They used Anti-viral cleaning products and had the Daily disinfection in common areas. They had Hand sanitizer everywhere you turned. They had a Doctor/nurse on call in case anything happens. They even had a First aid kit. They were definitely on top of the hygiene protocols. I saw the staff cleaning constantly. They had Rooms sanitized between stays, so that put me at ease.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Buffet to Bites
It’s not a Michelin-starred experience, but who cares? They had things. Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant… You can find something for everyone including a Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, and Desserts in restaurant . They had a Coffee shop, which helped me get going early. Did I mention the poolside bar?!
Services and Conveniences: Little Luxuries, Smart Moves
They have Air conditioning in public area which is important because Bali is hot! They have Cash withdrawal, which is very important since you quickly go through your wallets. They have Concierge which helped me plan my trip and arrange transport. They had a Daily housekeeping, which is nice when you're making a mess! This also included Laundry service and Ironing service which helped me look my best.
For the Kids: Happy Families
Babysitting service? Check. Family/child friendly? Check. Kids meal options? Double check! They are very Family/child friendly. You'll see kids running around. This is good if you're traveling with children.
Rooms: Your Personal Oasis
The rooms themselves…well, let's get into some real detail. I was in one of the villas. They had Air conditioning (thank god!), a Coffee/tea maker (essential!), a Mini bar (tempting!), and a Refrigerator. The Bed was comfy. They had High floor and it was Non-smoking. They had the Umbrella, because, you know, Bali. I was getting Wake-up service every morning and I enjoyed that, I have problems getting up. They had Bathroom phone, and while that feels a bit old school.
The Flaws? (Because Nothing's Perfect)
Okay, here's the real-world, slightly messy part.
- Sometimes the service was a bit slow. This is Bali, though. Relax. You're on holiday. Take a deep breath.
- Mosquitoes. Bring repellent. Seriously. Bali is mosquito central.
- The Wi-Fi Can be spotty.
The Verdict: Should You Book This Dream?
Look, is Indah Homestay perfect? No. But it is a fantastic option.
My Recommendation:
If you want a taste of Bali with a heavy side of pampering, a little slice of paradise near the beach and the restaurants, and you don't mind a few imperfections, then BOOK IT. You'll probably have an amazing time. Just remember to pack your patience, your mosquito repellent, and your sense of adventure.

Hop Inn Buriram: Your Amazing Thai Getaway Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your polished, airbrushed travel brochure. This is me, raw and unfiltered, about to wrestle with the balmy chaos that is a trip to Indah Homestay in Batubelig, Bali. Expect tangents, minor meltdowns over mosquito bites, and a whole lotta "OMG, THIS IS AMAZING!" sprinkled throughout.
The Indah Homestay & Batubelig Bali - A Messy Romp (or, My Brain on Vacation)
(Pre-Trip Panic - aka, the pre-game anxiety)
- Phase 1: The Booking Blues. Okay, so I've done it. I've booked the flight. I've meticulously researched Indah Homestay, scrolling through photos, reading – mostly! – positive reviews (one dude complained about the "loud geckos." Loud geckos?! Honey, I think that adds character!). But still, the nagging voice of travel anxiety won't shut up. Did I pack enough sunscreen? Will my credit card work? What if I get eaten by a Komodo dragon? (Okay, that last one is a bit dramatic).
(Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Sensory Overload – or That Whole "Paradise Syndrome")
- Arrival at Denpasar Airport: The heat hits you like a wet, tropical blanket the second you step off the plane. And the smell! Incense, frangipani, and something indescribably exotic. It's sensory overload, in the best possible way. Finding the driver arranged by Indah Homestay was a minor victory - I'm already getting the hang of navigating the scrum of taxi touts!
- The Ride: Bali traffic is, shall we say, spirited. Motorbikes zip around like caffeinated fireflies. Our driver navigated the chaos with the zen-like calm of a seasoned pro. (Me? I was gripping the seat, muttering prayers to the Gods of Road Safety). The scenery starts to blur – emerald rice paddies, temples with ornately carved gates, and the ubiquitous (and ridiculously cute) Balinese dogs.
- Indah Homestay - First Impressions: "Ooooh!" That was my involuntary response. The homestay is even more charming in person. A little oasis of calm amidst the bustle. My room is… well, rustic is the word. But in a charming, mosquito-net-draped, open-air-balcony kind of way. And the pool! Glorious. I swear, I'm going to spend the rest of my life floating.
- Lunch & First Taste of Bali: Wandered down to "The Warung" which is like a little local restaurant down the street. I'm ordering Nasi Goreng (fried rice). I'm a little jetlagged, a little overwhelmed, and a whole lot hungry. The Nasi Goreng? Heaven. The chili paste? OMG, my mouth is on fire, but I don't care.
(Day 2: Beach Bliss & Cultural Confusion)
- Morning at Berawa Beach: Okay, so surfing is HARD. Like, really, really hard. I spent an hour falling off a board in a futile attempt to look cool. But the waves are beautiful, and the sun is warm, and the feeling of sand between my toes is pure bliss. I've already befriended a local pup who seem to have a life of their own. (Probably judging my surf skills, the little rascal).
- Afternoon: Tanah Lot Temple: Everyone tells you to go. So I went. The temple itself is breathtaking. Perched on a rocky outcrop, against the backdrop of the crashing waves. This is what postcards were made for. The crowds, however… Wow. It's a photographer's paradise/human-jostling nightmare depending on the time of day.
- Dinner & A Minor Meltdown Over Mosquito Bites: Back at the homestay, I'm covered in bites. Damn you, tiny flying vampires! I smear myself in repellant, vow to invest in a head-to-toe net, and drown my sorrows in a Bintang beer.
(Day 3: The Rice Paddy Revelations & A Love Affair with a Smoothie Bowl!)
- Morning: Bike Ride Through Rice Paddies: Managed to rent a scooter from a local (after a spirited negotiation; my haggling skills are improving!). The rice paddies… Stunning. Lush green, a sea of swaying stalks. I almost get lost, but in the best possible way. I also nearly take out a family of ducks. (Sorry, little guys!).
- Mid-Morning: That Smoothie Bowl. There's a little cafe called "Coffee & More" nearby. The smoothie bowls… are a religious experience. Passion fruit, mango, granola, coconut flakes… Basically, a rainbow in a bowl. I'm now obsessed. I have dreams about these smoothie bowls. They're THAT good. Seriously thinking of moving to Bali just for the smoothie bowls.
- Afternoon: Trying My Hand at Balinese Cooking: A cooking class – a blast. I almost set the kitchen on fire trying to make satay. But the instructor was patient (and the food turned out delicious!). Maybe I'll learn to make something besides burnt toast when I get home.
(Day 4: Shopping Spree & Cultural Immersion (with some Tears and a Temples)
- Morning: Boutique Hopping in Canggu: Yes, I go shopping. I am weak to the pull of flowy dresses and the sweet promise of a good sundress. I bargain, I browse, and I buy a ridiculous amount of stuff that I probably don't need. But hey, it's retail therapy!
- Afternoon: A Visit to a Holy Spring Temple (Tirta Empul): This time, I've been doing some research beforehand. I've got my sarong, prepared for the ritual. The water is freezing and cleansing. It's emotionally powerful, and I end up unexpectedly tearing up – not just from the cold, but the sense of history, the spirituality, the…everything. It's a deeply moving experience.
- Evening: A Sunset Walk on the Beach: The end of the day. I soak in the last rays of orange and pink. The waves are gentle. The air is salty. I'm exhausted but happy. And it's a good reminder that, even with the chaos and the mosquito bites, this is a trip I won't soon forget.
(Day 5: Departure & The "Bali Blues")
- Morning: Last-Minute Souvenirs & A Final Smoothie Bowl: One more trip to the cafe, obviously. Another smoothie bowl, a final taste of paradise before reality hits.
- Departure: The dreaded moment has arrived. Saying goodbye to the staff at Indah Homestay is oddly emotional. They're so kind, so welcoming… It feels like leaving family. The ride to the airport is quiet. I actually feel a little pang of sadness.
- The Bali Blues: Sitting on the plane, I already miss the heat, the smells, the pace of life. I'm already planning my return. Bali, you beautiful, messy beast. Until next time…
Final Thoughts:
So, there you have it. A flawed, imperfect, beautiful adventure. Bali isn't pristine. It's hectic. It's hot. It's sometimes overwhelming. BUT, it's also magical, vibrant, and full of moments that will stay with you long after you've left. And Indah Homestay? A perfect little base camp for exploring all the chaos and wonder. Go. Just go. And bring your bug spray. You'll thank me later.

Indah Homestay: Bali Bliss? Let's Spill the Tea! (Batubelig, Baby!)
Okay, Spill the Beans: What's *Actually* Like Staying at Indah Homestay? Is it Instagram-Worthy or #FakeBali?
Alright, buckle up buttercups. Indah Homestay...Batubelig... it's a whole vibe. Let's be clear, it's not a five-star resort. You're not getting perfectly polished everything. Think of it as a slightly rough-around-the-edges, but absolutely charming Balinese experience. My first thought? "Woah, this is lush!" Then, the ants. Yes, the ants. But hey, it's the tropics, right? It's more "authentically Bali" than those sterile, overdone villas. I mean, picture this: waking up to the sounds of roosters declaring their dominance (usually at 4:30 AM, give or take – my sleep schedule hasn't recovered) with the sun streaming through giant fronds in your private garden. Then remember the first time when you went for a swim and, oh god, there were sandflies. It's not always perfect, but it's memorably real.
The Pool! Is the Pool as Magical as the Photos? 'Cause, honestly, they look *amazing*.
The pool… Okay, the pool. It's gorgeous. Seriously. It's picture-perfect. The turquoise water, the overflowing edge, the frangipani petals gently floating… BUT, and this is a big but, reality check time. That perfect Instagram shot? Might take a little wrangling. Sometimes, there are a *few* more leaves (they have a cleaning crew, relax!) and maybe a couple of rogue geckos sunbathing on the edge. And on my first day, the water was a tad cold as if the sun did not make a proper job of warming up the space. Then, I was just thinking the water must be warm. And it was great. But it's wonderful, beautiful, and a total lifesaver in the Bali heat. I spent a good part of my days just floating, feeling my stress melt away, although my skin, alas, has not.
Okay, So, Location, Location, Location! Batubelig – Tell Me the Good, the Bad, and the “Where's the Best Warung?”
Batubelig is a *vibe*. It's close enough to the action (Canggu, Seminyak – the usual suspects), but still feels… calmer. The good: the beach! Gorgeous sunsets, decent surf (if you're into that sort of thing), and some fantastic beach clubs nearby. The bad: Traffic. Oh. Holy. Traffic. Be prepared to factor in travel time. Getting anywhere during peak hours is an adventure. The "Where's the Best Warung?" question is the most important! My favorite? It's a little hole-in-the-wall a short walk from the homestay. Cheap, delicious, and the owners are just lovely and they treat me as family even though I am not Balinese! Ask the staff at Indah – they'll point you in the right direction. Don’t be afraid to explore – you’ll find hidden gems everywhere. I spent the first two days looking for the best place, and that warung... it took me 2 tries. But the food... the food was worth it!
What About the Staff? Are They Actually Helpful, or Just Polite But Useless?
The staff? That’s one of the best things about Indah. Seriously. They are genuine, kind, and actually go out of their way to help. They're not just "polite" – they are really, truly lovely people. I had a scooter mishap (let's just say I underestimated the Balinese traffic), and they were *amazing*. They helped arrange a doctor, comforted me when I was swearing while having my wounds treated, and even checked in on me daily. One time, I was so excited to order a taxi and I ended up ordering a scooter! The one thing that they have to improve is their English... But on the whole? Five stars. Absolute legends.
And the Villas Themselves: Are They Comfortable? Is the Air Con Actually Effective?
The villas… They are cute! I mean, they are well-maintained, they are comfortable, they are not the Marriott, if that's your thing. Yes, the aircon works (thank the gods!). I was pretty obsessed with trying to keep the temperature down, seeing as how it was so hot. The beds are comfy, the bathrooms are decent (though you'll probably get used to geckos), and the overall vibe is relaxed and calming. I loved my little villa, but I was also glad for the option of having more than one! Overall, though, yes, they are comfortable. Not luxurious, but that's part of the charm.
Breakfast! Worth the Hype? Do They Have Real Coffee or Just That Instant Stuff? (My Priorities, Apparently.)
Breakfast... Okay, this is where some subjectivity creeps in. I'm a big breakfast person, so it's important. They do offer a continental breakfast. The coffee is good. Honestly, it's pretty decent, not burnt, not weak. Fruit is fresh, and it's all generally quite delicious and a nice way to start the day – pancakes, toast, eggs, that sort of thing. The best part of it? Eating it with the sun shining, birds chirping, and the general serenity... I mean, it's Bali, right? Don't expect Michelin-star cuisine, but it's all very satisfying and sets you up well for a day of exploring.
Okay, Dish on the Minor Details: Wi-Fi? Mosquitoes? Laundry Services?
Alright, fine, the nitty-gritty. Wi-Fi: It works, but don't expect lightning-fast speeds. It's Bali Wi-Fi, so embrace the occasional buffering. Mosquitoes: They are around. BRING BUG SPRAY. Seriously. Stock up. Laundry: Excellent. Cheap, efficient, and your clothes come back smelling delicious. That's a huge win. Overall, the minor details are manageable. It's Bali – you adapt.
Would You Go Back? The Ultimate Question!
Without a doubt. Yes, I would go back to Indah Homestay - and I'm *already* planning my return trip! I mean, it's not perfect. The roosters, again, the ants, the occasional Wi-Fi hiccup... but it's got *heart*. It's real. It's beautifulBook Hotels Now
