Hi Luca, I checked out the rooms at Rhumah Roda recently,JL Kajeng-very central location yet quiet street.They ask between 80,000 and 90,000 Rp for a very basic,pretty small but very clean room in the family compound-the feel of the place was really friendly and charming, they have a fabulous little restaurant upstairs-simple, yummy, wholesome food and its a genuine Balinese family enterprise. There is a book written about the family(something about "one-o'clock"?anyone?).Check it out with a google.
Dont know the site you refer to but Ketuts Place is the first one up and at the risk of upsetting anyone who loves it my neighbours stayed there in 2005 and warned me against it.They were seduced by the photos etc and because it is a darling of Lonely Planet. However, they said their room was filthy and the service below average. Actually they said this is a bottom end homestay asking hotel prices. Please understand that is a second-hand opinion and hope you get some others.
