    This was such a great find for me, the guesthouse sits in such a relaxing atmosphere. I spent three nights here and explored many of the places around the valley. Davi and the rest of her staff were happy, friendly and helpful and the meals were delicious. The room was spacious and comfortable, hot water and has an amazing view up to the limestone cliffs.

    Genuine hospitality in a local homestay in the heart of Harau!

    I loved my stay at Roemah Abode! Devi is a wonderful host who goes out of her way to make sure that her guests are comfortable and well looked after. Roemah Abode is situated in a great location in Harau and is walking distance from two waterfalls. From the balcony you can look out into nature. The property is a labour of love with many plants, vegetables and herbs and animals. Devi's homestay is a great choice if you want genuine and friendly hospitality in a lovely location.

    Demi makes this place feel like home! Breakfast was amazing and she even took us on a tour of her farm. We had a great time and can’t recommend her place enough!

    The location is really beautiful, I stayed in a room with a balcony and nice view. The host is amazing and the staff was really friendly, made me feel like home, organised a day trip and took me to her farm. The room was clean and cosy, with hot water.

    The accomodation is located in the beautiful Harau Valley, in a quite, natural and relaxing environment. The place was clean, quite and comfortable. Devi, the owner, made us feel at home because of the affection with which she treated us and her good meals. She is creating a very valuable self-sufficient home project with her vegetable garden, animals and recycling waste. The cats are very cute and loving!!! (Keep in mind that this place is not a luxurious one whatsoever)

    Don't expect too much luxury and modern facilities. This is a more back to basics laid back homestay

    If you are interested to learn about local agriculture, like animals (dogs, chickens, cocks, singing birds), want to see how local people live and looking for hosts who love to have a chat with you and give a personal touch to your stay, this is a great place for you. Understand that this is a homestay, not a hotel.

    A sink would be great in the bathroom.

    Devi is the best host. Feel like we were staying with a close friend. She made great meals for us, rented us her scooter, everything for very cheap price. She also brought us to the bird singing competition that she organises. And gave us good recommandations.

    The staircase seemed a little unsafe and we wished there was a wash basin in the bathroom.

    The close proximity to the waterfalls was such a bonus being a short stroll away. Devi cooked us some delicious meals. The shower was excellent!

    We had a very nice stay in Roemah Abdoe ! The owner is fluent in english and helped us a lot in organising our days in Harau Valley. The room are spacious and clean and we even had a view on the waterfalls. The garden is lovely, with birds everywhere because they raise them to do singing competition. Fast wifi !

    However, the cleanliness was the largest turn-off. Dust and dirt were found almost everywhere: the kitchen, main bathroom, and bedrooms (incl. prepared towels). Moreover, the main bathroom door is not functional. Understandably, the large villa may not be occupied often compared to the smaller cabins, but it shouldn't be a reason not to prepare for the incoming guests.

    The facility is close to three beautiful waterfalls and surrounded by endless cliffs. The villa where my family and I stayed has two stories, and we can indulge our eyes with stunning scenery through wide windows.

    Really dirty and greasy. Kitchen and pots and pans and fridge was so dirty that we did not want to use it. And we are used to quite a lot after 25 budget travelling in Asia. No curtains in the bedrooms upstairs If the house was deep cleaned really wel for once and there were curtains it would be an absolutely amazing house

    We had a spacious house with multiple bedrooms and really good mattresses and pillows Lovely host, helpful. Speaks amazingly good English. Enjoyable cooking lesson in making rendang
