I stayed at Ropik & Alik Home Stay for one month and found that it met all of my expectations.
Because of the duration of my trip and all the other expenses, I was looking for an affordable place in a good location. My needs were minimal, I planned on being out and seeing the sights for most of the days. I wasn't looking for a pool or any other places onsite to hang around. So I was really just looking for a clean place that wasn't to confining.
I booked 2 rooms both rooms had air conditioning and the AC worked very well. One room had a queen size bed and a refrigerator and another room had 2 beds to accomodate my son and his friend. The refridgerator was a real bonus allowing me to have cold drinks and fresh fruit available whenever I wanted it. Both rooms had a balcony or outside sitting area that provided some extra space and allow for a place to sit and get some fresh air without going to far.
The staff was very friendly and accomodating and the owners are on site to help with any concerns and provided answers to all and any questions that I had. They even had Scooters available to rent so we really had everything we needed on day one when we arrived. This is a convenience that should not be overlooked. We had other friends staying close by and they had to spend more time locating a scooter rental place and dealing with the return process where all we had to do was leave the scooters were we found them.
Our days were filled with adventure and exploration and the largest distance we traveled was only a 15 minute scooter ride, which proves the location is ideal and allowed for maximimizing our use of time. We even had a full day of adventure on our last day right up to a half hour before our ride to the airport arrived.
I would recommend Ropik & Alik Homestay to any friend or family member and already have...
Read moreWorst place we stayed in whole Bali. The rooms were dirty, bathroom was disgusting and smelled like old pee, towels had red stains on them and the service was the worst thing we experienced in Bali. In a week, they did not clean our rooms once, did not ask if we needed anything at all and pretty much ignored us as much as possible. They did change the towels once.
When we would come back from our visits, we noticed that some of our things had been moved. Nothing was goen, but it seemed like they were moving them for us to see that they were there and had cleaned. But they did not! Twice, we were arriving from our walk and they were asking why we were there and trying to get into the room..? After being there for 3 days, they did not even knew we were staying there or/and did not recognize us.
Really do not recommend, stay away from here. It is even worse than in...
Read moreRopik picked me up from Sanur, he was very kind and helpful. Arrival to the home stay gave a scare at first, the hallway to the upstairs rooms was not too inviting. But as a nice suprise, if you forget chipping paint on the walls- the room itself was big, clean, quiet. Wifi worked well and the balcony had a nice view.The bed was comfy.||So if you do not expect that much service to be available for you, do not expect luxury for a dimr and you can move around on your own- I'd give it a go since the price is not that bad. |Get a scooter to drive around, since there is no pool at Ropiks& Aliks.| It is good for a sleep- not for spending your time there.|Water pressure or the shower head was not the...
