Kintamani, Indonesia skyline: the 17 most iconic buildings and best views in Kintamani

Amazing temple complex! Very artistic and lovely. I have to agree with other reviewers though, the aggressiveness of people trying to sell and hustle you for money is way too over the top here. Enjoy the inner part of the temple but DO NOT go around the back. You will meet a man that is highly agressive trying to sell you lava rock drawings. He will actually get in your face! The view in the back is the same from the cafes.

Pura Ulun Danu Batur, a Hindu temple in Kintamani. Located on the rim of Mount Batur, the temple contains 285 shrines and pavilions spread across nine different complexes dedicated to water deities. Parking is easy, but parking is available for a fee. A sarong and sash are also recommended. You can purchase or rent one on site (I recommend purchasing it; it will be useful at other temples). It's a very beautiful place, not very touristy, although the noise and traffic in front of the temple are quite heavy.

Beautiful temple and worth visiting, but the scams and gimmicks are getting tiresome. When you pay the entrance fee, they take you over to a wall and try to get you to purchase a sarong. When you decline, they then try to rent you one. A FREE one is already included with the ticket. We had to get borderline unfriendly for them to get the point that we were not buying or renting one. Then they force you to go with a guide. That was okay as she was helpful and made navigating the area easier. We offered a small tip at the end. However, along the way, we had a few people approaching us to buy things.

Visited this place for Bhumisudha ritual. However, the ceremony had finished when we arrived. No problem, we love to feel the atmosphere here.

The ticket price idr 30.000 for local but we have to rent sarong to go in. You may negotiate the price for the rent sarong, as cheap as you can

READ BEFORE VISITING Be prepared to be attacked from the locals upon arrival at the parking. When you buy the entrance ticket for 50k, in which is included the sarong and belt for entrance and also tour guide be aware that the women around the ticket counter will try to sell you the sarong, you must explicit say to them you will only rent the sarong that is included in the ticket. It ruins the tranquility of the Balinese people and culture when you come to such places and they are so pushy to try to sell you spmething. Maybe i would buy something else from them if they were not so annoying 🙏 The temple itself is beautiful and all the sculptures inside with the unforgetable architecture👍👏👏

A Scam Disguised as a Temple - Avoid at All Costs! I regret to inform potential visitors that our experience at Pura Ulun Danu Batur was not one of spiritual or cultural enrichment, but rather a systematic and stressful scam from start to finish. I strongly advise everyone to avoid this place. The issues began immediately after purchasing the "donation" ticket for 50,000 IDR. The ticket explicitly states that it includes a "Balinese Headband, Shawl, Sarong, Local Guide." However, right after paying, the ticket lady directed us to two women who were supposed to equip us. They immediately asked if we wanted to buy a new sarong. We declined. They then proceeded to dress us in standard sarongs, only to demand an additional 25,000 IDR per person for "rental." When we firmly refused, stating everything was included in the ticket, their excuse was that these were "more beautiful" sarongs and the free ones were different. After a firm standoff, they reluctantly let us go without paying, but the confrontation was entirely unnecessary and set a terrible tone. The situation worsened at the temple entrance. The security guard who checked our ticket deliberately tore off the entire right side of the ticket—the very part that listed all the included services (including the guide). This was clearly a coordinated tactic to remove proof of what we had paid for. Shortly after, we were assigned a "local guide" who could barely speak English. Her entire vocabulary seemed to be "me follow you." She followed two steps behind us throughout the temple, completely incapable of explaining any history or significance of the site. Her presence was useless, awkward, and eventually became irritating. When we finally asked her to leave us alone, she immediately demanded payment for his "services." This was the final straw. We, of course, refused to pay him anything. The temple itself is in a beautiful location with a superb view, but that is the only positive thing I can say. It is my firm belief that the entire staff—from the ticket lady and the sarong attendants to the "guide" and the security guard—are part of a coordinated criminal group with the sole intention of scamming and extorting money from tourists at every turn. Do not waste your time or money here. The beautiful scenery is not worth the hassle, deception, and utter lack of respect shown to visitors. If you do decide to go, be prepared to argue and firmly refuse all additional payments.

Great activity for couple hours. Be prepared to walk in hot weather. Unless you buy a ride ticket.

Great place to learn about Mt. Batur, Lake Batur, even the formation of the whole Bali island! The museum is rather empty, which is a shame. We visited the museum because it was raining and we couldn't visit more touristy places, but we had a great time knowing more about the area. Great for those who love geology and learning.

This government facility provides information about the formation of Mount Beto. I found the information about the lava flows. Very interesting. This place is for somebody who wants to learn. It is simple yet has a lot of good information if you go there before visiting the mountain and the Lakeview, you will have a better appreciation of how this natural formation was made overtime

The ticket only IDR 10,000 for domestic, you can use cash or Qris, you can learn about the history of the island of Bali

Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the biggest perks of visiting Museum Geopark Batur is that there’s no ticket fee, making it budget-friendly for anyone interested in learning more about the area's geological history. Whether you're a solo traveler or with family, the fact that it's free makes it an easy stop if you're exploring the Kintamani region. Location: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The museum is located in the scenic area of Kintamani, right near the majestic Mount Batur, which adds to its appeal. The surrounding views of the volcano are breathtaking, and it’s not far from other tourist spots in the region, so you can easily combine it with other activities in the area. Use grab or gojek for transport. Fun/Entertainment: ⭐⭐ This is where the experience falls short. While the museum does have some interesting facts about the volcano and geological formations, the lack of interactive exhibits, especially ones in working condition, makes the visit feel underwhelming. Many of the media and audio-visual displays were either out of order or poorly maintained, which really detracts from the overall experience. There’s also limited information available in English, which might make it less enjoyable for non-Indonesian visitors. It’s definitely more of an educational stop than an entertainment hub. Facilities: ⭐⭐ The museum is basic when it comes to facilities. While the washrooms are functional, they’re not particularly modern or well-stocked. There are no cafes or food options inside, so if you’re planning a visit, be sure to bring water or snacks. The museum could really benefit from some updates to its displays and better maintenance of its existing technology. Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐ If you're already in the area and have an interest in volcanoes and geology, the Museum Geopark Batur can provide you with some useful information about the region's volcanic history. However, it's not something you need to go out of your way for unless you're really into geological studies. The lack of working exhibits and limited English content makes it hard for many visitors to fully appreciate what the museum has to offer. In the end, it’s a quick stop but not an essential one on your Bali itinerary.

Spent my birthday here to learn about the beautiful formation of the land formation of Mount Batur since it was raining and no other positively activities. Definitely a childhood dream of mine to visit a geo museum about volcanoes Entry ticket rp 10k pp

It is good place to learn about geologi od batur.

Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur is an important temple in Bali dedicated to Dewi Danu, the goddess of lakes and rivers, and the god Vishnu. Located on the edge of the Lake Batur caldera, the temple offers a beautiful and cool environment. It's a great place to calm your body and mind. And remember to always keep the environment clean.

Tourist trap. The road to get here was a bit bumpy. Certain angles of the temple looked cool for photos, but that's about it. Price is 2k for parking and 50k per person entry (mandatory donation), not too long ago it only cost 25k. They will also offer a sarong and sash. Toilets have no running water, toilet seats, toilet paper, or soap. The entire place is very old, run-down, needs maintenance, repairs, and a lot of love. Wish the people that pocketed the money here would actually make this place nicer.. because it has potential. It's just sad and a waste of time. The only nice part was that we were alone.. idk if that's nice for other people or not. Lol

Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur is a temple on Lake Batur, near Pura Jati in northeast Bali, Indonesia. Access by car is easy, and parking is ample and free. You can buy sarongs at the entrance, unless you've already stocked up. There are also other stands selling various souvenirs. Access to the temple is via a jetty. It's a great spot for taking photos by the lake with a beautiful mountain view in the background. It's practically deserted, so you can easily take photos without "strangers." Admission was free, although apparently things have changed now, so it's worth being prepared.

Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur – Lakeside Serenity Near Mount Batur Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur is a stunning lakeside temple nestled along the shores of Danau Batur. Located en route to the Mount Batur trekking point, this temple is often overlooked but offers peaceful views and a serene cultural experience. Managed primarily by local villagers, it has a strong community presence. Although there is technically no entry fee, visitors are expected to make a compulsory donation of 25,000 IDR per person, which serves as a customary offering to the temple and helps with its maintenance. Important to note: Like most temples in Bali, entry inside the sanctum is restricted, and only Balinese Hindus may enter during prayer or ritual. However, visitors are welcome to walk around the outer temple complex, enjoy the views, take photos. This temple is a quiet gem, perfect for a short stopover on your way to or from the Batur trek.

People working there were rude to us. You do not need pay anything to them if you have your own scarf to cover legs and you can BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY donation. I do not recommend this place because atmosphere there made by locals was really rude and aggressive. Temple is nothing special, there are many more beautiful.

nice place where you can enjoy solitude and the view. it is better to come in rainy season, so the temple will be surrounded by water!

I have mixed feelings. The temple is pretty but there was very little water surrounding it (maybe more so in the wet season) and a bit of rubbish. The rest of the area is a mixed matched jumble of nothing. It seems strange they charge you to enter. I had my own sarong but they still insisted on charging me to supply a sash… which clearly I didn’t need. The road is quite bad to enter and had I had all this info beforehand, I probably wouldn’t have bothered.

Besakih Temple is absolutely majestic...known as the Mother Temple of Bali, it’s the largest and most sacred temple complex on the island. Located high on the slopes of Mount Agung, it offers incredible views and a deep spiritual atmosphere. The place feels powerful yet peaceful, surrounded by misty mountains and ancient stone gates. Make sure to wear a sarong (you can find it at the entrance) and go early to enjoy the calm before the tour groups arrive. A must-visit to experience the true soul of Bali!

Besakih Temple is the largest Hindu Temple in the island of Bali, built on the slope of Mount Agung: to be precise it's a complex of 25 different but related temples. The entrance is marked by a "Candi Bentar", the famous split gateway that can be found all over Bali. Unfortunately when I visited there was bad weather so I couldn't enjoy the view of the surroundings. The temple itself is quite nice.

It's a beautiful temple, definitely with a visit. It takes about 1.5 hours to greet there from Ubud, so plan your itinerary well. We went on a Monday, arrived at around noon, and experienced no wait to buy the ticket. The ticket includes a strong, a guide, and a 2 minute ride up to the temple entrance. You have to walk back down, though I did see the shuttle return with passengers so 🤷. There are lots of steps inside the complex, so come prepared. Steps are irregular, and I saw at least one person slip on what might have been moss. There are souvenir shops inside, as well as toilets.

Visiting Pura Besakih, the Mother Temple of Bali, was an unforgettable experience. The complex is enormous and filled with history, spirituality, and breathtaking architecture. Walking through its many levels with Mount Agung rising in the background truly feels magical. What impressed me most was the atmosphere – it’s both deeply spiritual and welcoming. The views over the mountains and rice terraces are absolutely stunning, especially when the clouds move around the volcano. If you want to experience the heart of Balinese culture and spirituality, this is definitely a place not to miss.

I give it 2 stars because the place looks absolute georgous. There are at the moment renovations happening and because of this some parts are closed. Everthing else is a big scam as soon as they put a sarong on you, you already pass ladies with offerings and they told us every tourist have to buy. So we bought 100k for 2 offerings. Later with the prayer you HAVE to make an donation to make your offering, if you don't pay then the offering don't count. The guide was really looking into our wallets and said we have to pay around 50 dollars each. We paid some but definitely no 50 dollar each. They think Europeans are rich, but we are definitely not. He also takes you passed some photographers to take some pictures. I have to say the pictures looked amazing, but again you have to pay 350k for them. At the end of the tour the guide is begging for a tip and nothing was good enough everything was so low and he wasn't happy. ( I think in total we gave him like 50k) he wanted at least 100k The entrance tickets was 300k for 2 people including the guide. So my recommendations is that it's not worth the visit. You are being robbed of your money every step you take.

The temple itself was absolutely breathtaking—peaceful, grand, and well worth the visit. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the mandatory guide, who repeatedly pressured me for donations and tips. At one point, he even counted my donation in front of others, saying it was “too small,” which felt very uncomfortable and disrespectful. It’s a shame, because the spiritual atmosphere was beautiful, but the constant hassling made it hard to enjoy the moment. I hope future visitors can have a more respectful and serene experience.

Besakih Temple, Bali A true wonder of the world you can’t miss. The place has a very special energy, with stunning architecture and breathtaking views of Mount Agung. Every photo taken here looks like a work of art. An absolute must-see in Bali! Un imprescindible en Bali

Went to use the hot springs. Very expensive for what it is. Needs a complete revamp as dated, with paint peeling off, rust and missing tiles. As you enter there are hens kept in small cages, cruel and unpleasant conditions. There were no female lockers left to use despite arriving at 12 noon. Not exactly peak time. Whilst the pools were warm, there were flies everywhere including in the pool. No one appeared to try and keep the pools clean. The kids slides were good but again run down. We wouldn't consider eating there as the kitchen area was full of flies and people who were eating were swatting flies as they ate. Would definitely not recommend anyone to go, here it needs a complete refurbishment. It needs an indoor area to eat in. Charging what they do for this place is out of order.

We didn't stay at the hotel. We only stop by for couple of hours, because my mom wants to dip her feet in a warm swimming pool..coming from natural hot spring. She ended up swimming for an hour. The entrance fee is quite reasonable, you will get towels for additional price (10k for locals) and key for locker. You get to enjoy warm swimming pool. Good place for family visit. And look a like infinity pool by the lake...

Great place to spend a morning or afternoon for a great price. Paid about 170k and came here after hiking Mt Banur. Had a floating lunch in one of the pools over looking the mountain - was amazing. One unexpected tip: bring bug spray! The flys in this area are relentless

We love it here, even though it's a long drive it's worth it. You can enjoy the lovely warm water and eat delicious food. There's also a colder lap pool and some cool water slides. Also a "Love Cave" which goes under the rocks and then it goes to a pool bar. There's also lots of water spouts to massage your back with! Sadly they have serval chickens kept in tiny cages which is quite sad. Overall though a great spot -Alex Also ITS NOT A HOTEL GOOGLE!

Didn’t book a room but paid the entry fee and stepped out within less than 30 minutes. The landscape and view of it all was great, but the place itself was horrid. The place was worn down (which is weird because its a fairly new attraction CMIIW). The flies are everywhere and disgusting. The fact that EVERY surface of that place has flies all over is enough to make me not put myself inside the pools. I couldnt get myself to sit anywhere cause I was disgusted by the flies. It was truly disgusting. No wonder they put “No Refunds” in the front of the gate. High potential, but really bad execution. Please do a renovation soon.

This is scam, this is not hot spring water it is a bunch of barely warm pools. We went next door to Batur natural hot spring, and it was actual hot springs. And the pools at Toya were dirty full of insects while batur’s was super clean and amazing and all the pools there actually overlook the lake. When we asked for a refund for this scam they told us. That they already told our driver that the water is only warm inside and they won’t give us a refund. Horrible horrible place and service

Not sure about rooms. But the hot springs pool is really cool and worth a visit. View is amazing!! Do it in the jeep tour to mount batur with hot springs added in the itinerary..

The rooms , the service , the view , the staff everything is perfectly well prepared for me! Just it’s a little bit far (maybe 5-10 mins drive) from the main road. BUT AS SOON AS you reached the BLC, the amount of joy and feelings you got was so breathtaking , compared to that 5 mins drive. so for me, it was really a very good experience and of course, BLC will be the one that I will recommend to my friends and relatives as well!

Black Lava Camp in Kintamani is truly one of the best camping experiences I’ve ever had! The location offers breathtaking views of Mount Batur and the surrounding landscape — especially at sunrise, which is absolutely magical. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every guest felt comfortable and well taken care of. From the cozy tents to the delicious food and well-organized facilities, everything was top-notch. It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to relax, enjoy nature, and experience Bali in a unique way. Highly recommended for couples, friends, or even solo travelers! By Rishabh Saxena

The view amazingly beautiful! Really love the tent and all the facility! Worth every second ❤️ Free shuttle is the best thing 🥹 The staff was very helpful during check in -checkout but some at the restaurant only need more knowledge about their product as almost everything they not know about how things works and we (guest) need to figure out.

One of the best accommodations ever for many reasons! It has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, yet is located in a remote quiet place surrounded by nature, yet you are easily connected with the town and all the natural sights around because they have transfers provided. Your stay can be more private if you want to, but it’s also easy to connect with other guests in the common areas. The restaurant has a great variety of delicious food and drinks. The staff deserve a separate paragraph of their own. Indonesian people are famous for being naturally friendly and hospitable, but these guys are just next level, plus everybody speaks English and the level of service is top notch.

Third time at Black Lava camp and I love it so much. The view is absolutely stunning, the pool is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Since last time, the menu has been updated with more vegetarian options, really nice.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at Black Lava Camp in Bali was simply unforgettable! The journey up to the camp can be a little challenging, so it’s important to be careful on the road and make sure your bike or car brakes are working well. But once you arrive, everything is absolutely worth it. We were warmly welcomed by Lintang at the reception, whose kindness made us feel at home immediately. The whole area is stunning, surrounded by beautiful nature, with incredibly friendly staff and a peaceful atmosphere. The view of the mountains and the volcano is breathtaking—especially at sunrise and sunset, truly magical. We stayed in the Family Suite, which was very comfortable and cozy. In the evening, we enjoyed a delicious dinner at the restaurant, followed by a shisha under the stars. Later, we sat by the campfire, which made the night even more special. The food in general was very good, fresh, and flavorful. It does get cooler in the evening, so bringing warm clothes is a must. And I would definitely recommend spending at least one night here, as it’s an experience you won’t forget. All in all, Black Lava Camp is a perfect mix of adventure, nature, and comfort. A must-visit if you’re in Bali—highly recommended, 5 stars without hesitation!

Room: Comfortable! Toilet and showers: Shared (we booked shared ones) but shampoo and body soap were provided with a very spacious room. They had like a cabinet inside with water heater too~ Service: Very very accommodating from the drivers, receptionist and the waitresses and waiters and all. Location: Theres a driver who will drive you down to the campsite coz the area is abit deeper in but the view is so nice!! If you love the sound of winds, birds, nature, this maybe the camp for you!

We had a disappointing stay at Villa Jempana. The room was not well-maintained, and the bathroom was in very poor condition, with a faulty shower that wasn’t properly fixed until our last day. We had to leave two days early to find better accommodation. Beware: as of February 2025, the actual conditions do not match the advertised photos. While the view is beautiful, the lack of upkeep and prompt service was frustrating. I hope management improves for future guests. Photos attached.

If you're chasing some peace and quiet away from the madness of Bali's traffic, this hotel delivers. It's tucked in a scenic spot just a few minutes’ walk from a lovely lake—the views of the mountains reflecting off the water are honestly worth the stroll. Food-wise, it was fairly average overall—but I genuinely enjoyed the fried bee hoon, which was a pleasant surprise. However, a word of caution: if you choose to order food during the day and opt to dine in your room (as the hotel encourages), prepare for an unexpected side dish—a swarm of flies. Unfortunately, the room service delivery seems to come with an entourage of airborne guests. It becomes a bit of a dilemma: do you brave the outdoor crowd of flies, or welcome a select few into your private space? Still, between the peaceful vibe, the stunning lake just steps away, and the quiet surroundings, it’s a decent spot for a short escape—as long as you bring a fly swatter and a sense of humor.

We spent two nights at Villa Jempana and unfortunately it was disappointment. What was good - stuff was really nice, smiling and helpful. Other than that we weren't satisfied. This was our most expensive accommodation on Bali but the price didn't match what we got. The last 350 m to the hotel the road is terrible. So if you are not good driver you will have a problem. Hotel looks like it's new but the furniture inside is old. There's also mold somewhere. We tried food at the restaurant once but it wasn't good. But if you want to eat somewhere else you have to walk few kilometers. Swimming pool was cold and the bottom needs cleaning. One of the biggest problem were flies. They were everywhere so you can't lay near the swimming pool or enjoy food or drink outside. During our breakfast there were more than twenty flies which is annoying af. No protection from them outside or inside. First thing I saw in our room was paper with everything in the room with prices in case of stealing or damaging. That's not what you want to see first. What's more sheets were dirty. Over all I do not recommend this accommodation. There's nothing to do and for visiting Batur for a sunrise just wake up earlier and book a tour from bigger city.

The road to here very bumpy. Not suitable for old parent , too many stair. No hot water for shower Internet verrrryyyyyy slooooww Breakfast also not buffet, you just can choose 2 from the menu.

Disappointing stay Our stay at Villa Jempana was very disappointing. No hot water, not enough toilet paper, and no cleaning or restocking during our stay. The villa felt dirty and not well maintained. There’s no bar or restaurant, and although you can order food via an app, there’s nowhere decent to sit and eat. Eating outside is impossible due to the huge number of flies. No luggage service, and the Mount Batur tour booked at reception never happened — we waited at 3:30 a.m., but no guide showed up. The air conditioner was noisy, barely worked, and leaked water onto the bed. We also felt unwelcome during our stay and seemed to be the only guests at the property, which made the whole experience even more uncomfortable. Beautiful surroundings, but the hotel itself is definitely not recommended.

Beautiful views to mount batur and lake batur, scenic and serene, good hospitality from the hotel staff, only issue was the immense amount of houseflies which ruin your mood.

Stayed at La Jempana. Honestly, everything matched the photos on their Instagram. The service is friendly, and the bed, room, and toilet are all clean and comfortable. The night view is filled with stars in the sky, and the morning view is stunning with mountains, the lake, and the sunrise. The air here is cool, especially at night when it gets cold. The private campfire in front of the room and the projector instead of a TV make the stay extra special. However, the downsides are that it gets very hot inside the villa during the morning and afternoon, even though the outside air is cool. The bathroom has an unpleasant smell (not sure if it's just my room or others too). There are flies, but they aren't too bothersome and disappear at night. The road to the villa is narrow, only fitting one car, but it's still passable and has a parking area.

Our experience was excellent, this hotel is the best kids and family friendly at Kintamani. Food for breakfast at restaurants was delicious, a lot of choices and tasty. Service was exceptional.

Our experience at Pramana Zahil Pramana was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who made us feel instantly at home. The villa is beautifully designed, combining modern amenities with elegant Balinese charm. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the pool area is stunning, and the surrounding rice field views create a truly serene atmosphere. The staff were outstanding — professional, friendly, and always attentive without being intrusive. We held a company-family gathering here and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The garden is beautifully maintained, and the playground was the perfect spot for the kids to play and enjoy themselves. If you’re looking for a peaceful yet luxurious escape in Bali, whether for a family holiday or a company retreat, Pramana Zahil Pramana is simply perfect. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay at Pramana Zahil Kintamani! The staff were very welcoming and always ready to assist us with anything we needed. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere had such good vibes relaxing and refreshing. We truly had a wonderful experience and would love to come back again!

Lovely comfortable beds with a good size lounge. Bathroom had shower and bath. Had a kitchen. Best of all a private heated pool

very disapointed with this hotel, we had booking 2 night at private pool 1 st day everythink fine, breakfast with buffe 2nd day got happend , electric shutdown but this hotel dont hv emergeny electric , water not working cant shower,pee ! complaint to management they just say sorry but dont hv problem solving , not only happend at night next day the breakfast from buffe changes to by order ! paid 2 million a night got bad experiance !

most recommended Hotel with all facilities you need for a couple of days. staf are frindly and profecional, the BEST in Kintamani Bali

Comfortable room with pool view and quiet, beautiful view of Batur surrounding The only lacking is the breakfast, should have more variety even though only Ala Carte choice

Spent a magical weekend here in Tira Vilagna! The hotel is beautiful and the room was perfect. Comfortable bed, very nice shower, balcony with a view, shower with a view… what else can you ask for? The hotel blends in perfectly with the nature that surrounds it which makes it the perfect setting to relax and unwind. The service was very kind and attentive. And Kintamani is a special place. Do keep in mind that it is not easy to rent a bike or car in Kintamani so highly recommend renting somewhere else and bringing it to Kintamani. Otherwise we were able to walk to the principal street where we visited some cafes.

Very nice hotel despite being located in not so beautiful town of Kintamani! The staff was extremely helpful. Food was nice although not an abundance of choice. Massage in the spa facilities was very good - however treatments rooms are only separated by a curtain which made it hard to relax while hearing other people talk loudly and kids screaming. The hotel is located on the hill with rooms spread over multiple levels which was quite a bit of stairs to take - if you need more accessible rooms, better check with the hotel. Also Kintamani is much higher up and hence colder than most of Bali. We were not fully prepared for this but hotel staff lent us blankets to take with us to see the sunset early in the morning.

Its the place to stay if you like quiet evening. very serene and surrounded by pine tree. The architecture is great. Rooms are big and clean. A lot of steps, so elderly might have to be careful. Breakfast wasn't that great though, quite bland.

Our one night stay here was paradise. The hotel is stunning and built with so much attention to detail. The staff are super nice. The reviewers complaining about the number of steps should engage in exercise a little more. One critique would be to fix the bathroom door floor panel that collects water quite easily

I stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful time. The setting is beautiful. Watching the sun disappear behind the trees with a martini was a special moment I'll long remember. The place is very clean and the staff are an utter delight. They were so helpful and accommodating and when my hot water failed they worked hard to fix it quickly. My room was beautiful but a little noisy at times as it was below another room occupied by children. Thats a minor detail, though and I'd recommend this plane to anyone staying in Kintamani.

Absolutely impressive. The location, the rooms, the service, which deserves extra praise. I particularly enjoyed the evening hot water bottle that every guest receives in their room. I can highly recommend Kris as a driver, he is a very prudent driver who knows the area and is provided by the hotel. Many thanks for everything.

Honestly, we came here for breakfast, and we will definitely never come back because the service was terrible. We are traveling with a small dog, and we were not even allowed to sit outside with our pet — a dog that is probably cleaner than many of the people they let in — who would have just sat quietly next to us. At the same time, our group consisted of seven people, and there was absolutely no one else on the premises. I have no idea what is so precious about your outdoor area that you are so concerned about — the stones, the trees, or whatever it is — that makes it impossible for a family to sit there for an hour and have lunch with a small dog. The manager didn’t even try to understand our situation or find any solution for us. They simply lost customers and left us with a bad impression of their establishment

Visited La Fresa Kintamani a few weeks ago. The experience was okay overall. I paid 35k per person, which includes a choice between strawberry chips or a strawberry milkshake. I chose the milkshake, but unfortunately, it was too sweet and didn’t taste like fresh strawberries. It was mixed with jelly, which didn’t go well together in my opinion. Also, the sunflowers hadn’t bloomed yet during my visit. The rest of the place was fine.

La Fresa is such a beautiful spot surrounded by strawberry fields, vegetable gardens, and colorful flowers. You can enjoy strawberry and passion fruit picking, stroll through the lovely flower garden, and even watch or feed the adorable rabbits. It’s a great place for families, with fun games for kids and plenty of space to explore. There’s also a small bar serving food and drinks, perfect for relaxing after your activities. A refreshing and enjoyable stop in Kintamani!

This place is such a hidden gem in Bali! 🍓 We came for the Japanese strawberry farm experience and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The strawberries are grown beautifully and taste so fresh and sweet—it’s a totally different level compared to what we usually find back home. The staff were super kind and welcoming, and they explained how the strawberries are grown and cared for. Although English wasn’t great they made up for it with their efforts. We loved that we could pick our own straight from the plants—it made it feel special and fun. My wife and I ended up eating way too many because they were just that good! The farm is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature, which made it feel like more than just a visit—it felt like an experience. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone who just loves fresh fruit and a relaxing outing. 👉 If you’re in Bali, don’t miss this. It’s unique, delicious, and such a great memory to bring home.

Strawberry farm that has good grade quality, huge and taste sweet. They also sell Strawberry wine for 150k/bottle. It has also kids park among green field. Fee entrance for pick strawberry is 35k/person. And fruit will be counted 25k/ounce. Refreshing to see flowers bloom next to each other. Great place to visit.

This is the best strawberry I had in my life and actually I grew up on a farm!!!! They also offer fantastic strawberry juice and some meal which we actually don’t try. BUT strawberry expensive, guys. It’s like 250 k rupia per kilo. It worth it though. You can walk around and enjoy peaceful sceneries, taking pictures and just chill

Garden is beutifull but not all flower are blossom sincethe season is not coming yet , the garden’s tour guide said it would be best if we come surround december so you can see every flower are blooming oh also the tour guide is very nice fo explain everything , thanks raga !🥰

We had a long trip to be here by 5 PM from Canggu area and a short time of picking up some strawberries 🍓 then snap some pics and vids also selfies 🤳 Huehehe 😜 We were thrilled to enjoy our fresh strawberry juice as it is included on the entry ticket 🎟 and picking some sweet sour Japanese strawberries 🍓 obviously. We definitely should come here for the next time, yeehaaa 🤸🏻‍♀️💃

The locals who work at the temple are friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. It was very quiet when I visited, just a couple of dogs lying about and some locals getting ready for something in the area. The temple was empty and still apart from the television that was left on... Great architecture in a beautiful setting but pretty tricky to get to through the narrow roads and the minor flooding. The path leading to the golden statues was broken up too so I couldn't get over there but it looked magnificent none the less. Some basic amenities and little stores in the area. I may have read it wrong but it looked as though they have a pub here! Overall, I highly recommend visiting this temple if you're looking for a peaceful and serene place to visit in Bali.

This is a small nice temple in a calm area in the north of the lake batur in the back of the mountain. The way to go their by car from the main road is curvey and at the end bumpy. Therefore a visit is only recommended in case you are in this area. Wearing a sarong is required and a donation is free to give. Nearby approx. 150m away is a little temple in the lake as well a golden statue. This statue can only reached by boat.

We were here for the full moon in late September. Lots of vendors and rides added a festive atmosphere with music and dances at the temple. The chanting / singing over the loudspeaker continued until 2am which made sleep in our nearby homestay impossible. Will choose somewhere else to stay next time we come to Batur.

The best temple I've visited, best to visit and pray during the rainy season. I had a great time praying there and the lake near the temple soothes the soul. A bit of edit. My story was really simple, I went there with my family to pray, when we arrived there it was mostly silent the sound of the winds blowing gently is very soothing. We prayed for a while and it was the best experience I've ever had. Can't wait to pray there again!!

The ancient Balinese Hindu temple located in the north coast of Lake Batur. Due to the massive volcanic activity in the past, the temple was moved to the Penelokan for safety reasons (called Ulundanu Batur Temple – without the 'h' letter). This Hulundanu temple, however, opens to the public for both tourists and prayers. Its serene atmosphere are well known for meditation.

the most beautiful temple I have ever seen ... speeclesss 💝

We really loved our stay here, the location is perfect for sunrise it’s so beautiful. It was very clean building and comfortable bed, the shower isn’t red hot (but warm )or powerful but suitable for a few days stay. This is an affordable stay with a beautiful view and great access to amazing restaurants nearby. I wouldn’t recommend booking this place if you do not have motorbike, but we found the road to to site easy enough to access with our motorbike 😁

The guest house has a great view from the rooms it has but everything else here is at a terrible standard which is a shame for a place with such high potential. I had to ask the staff for toilet tissue as I had a bad bad dose of 'Bali Belly'. The rooms are filled with insects which gets worse during the night which limits ones ability to find a partner for life here. There is no food available here and the staff turned down the 'ask' to drive us to the local village to get food. The hill to walk there is like Everest, just less cold. As the area for now, has limited accommodation - standards like these will be tolerated but I would suggest you book this part of your trip in advance to avoid the insect harassment.

Okay, the location is out of this world haha. Super worth it for the price. As you can see from the photos and video... the sunrise view is unbeatable! My feedback points are two things. Firstly, we found several stains in the bed sheets but to be honest... it's fine we can live with that. The service of the staffs made up for it, as they are friendly and helpful. Another thing, the only way in and out of this place is through this super small steep road that leads you to the top of the cliff (the location of this place is somewhat at the bottom of the cliff or the main road of Mt Batur). We use motorcycle, so it's actually harder for us to navigate the roads leading to this villa, especially at night. During our last stay, we actually asked the staff if its okay for them to drive us up using their car and they are okay with it (we pay 50k), if we know we can request that, i would be more than happy to pay 50k after each drive hahahah this could be your additional gig or income stream ☺️👍🏼 your welcome!

We loved this place! It was clean and had beautiful views of Mt. Batur. We had a little bungalow of our own with a balcony. Very comfortable bed and big room. Staff were friendly and helpful. You need a scooter or car to get there as it's a little out of the main area. This was no problem for us though and was preferred to a busy area, etc. Would 10/10 recommend and stay here again!

The view from the guest house is great. This is unfortunately one of the few positive things I have to say about this place. Our room wasn't that clean, there were moldy stains on the sheets and on the bed curtains and to top it all off, there were some ants crawling over our heads on the bed. Also, we were there for two days and I tried to have a shower on the first day, but the warm water finished in like one minute. Thank God I didn't manage to put shampoo on my hair before that! So, if you still want to stay here be warned: take a shower before you arrive and stay for no more than one night.

A room with a beautiful view. Good comfort, but the service could be improved.

This place is adorable, the staff is amazing, and the location is perfect for if you're going on the Mt. Batur sunrise hike. I now understand why people opt for the early morning pickup from Ubud or Canggu as there's not anything really to DO in that area once you're done with your hike. Yes there are hot springs but that's about it. We walked around looking for a spa to get massages and the one that was on google wasn't actually a spa. We came back to the hotel and one of the members of the staff mentioned that they do massages and it was actually a great massage. They have 1 massage table outside which doesn't sound that relaxing but it was so quiet and serene up there, I understand why they have their massage table outside. They greet you with ginger tea's and cookies and they have a full restaurant with the usual balinese fare. The rooms even have small TV's which we were able to plug our chromecast into. I'm giving this 4 stars because they advertised warm/hot water and it was just cold the entire time. It's significantly colder up in the mountains so we were looking forward to hot showers but didn't get them. Otherwise this spot is very tucked away on the side of a mountain with not much going on around it. I recommend just 1 night, or the night before your hike!

I made a short-term inquiry and was given the opportunity to visit. The route from Denpasar to Kintamani was easily accessible by motorbike. I was given insights into the cultivation and processing of coffee. Thank you for taking the time for me.

We had a fantastic experience visiting this small coffee farm in Kintamani! The young couple running it are incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about coffee, even though it's not their main source of income. Unlike many farms, they not only grow their own coffee (the farmer told us his grandfather grew first plants from seeds 30 years ago and he continues his work) but also process beans (and for their neighbors too) and roast them. Visiting a real coffee farm has been a dream of mine, and here I got to taste coffee berries straight from the plant—three different varieties! It was an unforgettable experience, and the warmth and dedication of the farmers made it even more special. Wishing them all the best!

We a wonderful tour of Curtina coffee farm. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and were enlightened by Amellya’s knowledge. It’s always nice to meet people who are passionate about what they do. The tour finished with a delightful coffee pour over., what more could you wish for? We wish you all the very best for the upcoming harvest and hope to meet again someday

True speciality coffee, passion and knowledge. In Bali everything claims to be "specialty". Almost all of them confusing "specialty" for "aesthetic". This farm grows exciting coffee with innovative processes. In a world where imported beans are cheaper than home-grown, they are fighting the uphill battle towards better, more ethical and higher quality (and scoring) Balinese coffee. More than that, it is not just a farm but a collective. Curtina works with many local smallholders, buying and processing their beans on both commodity, commercial and speciality levels, while supplying the local community with trade, knowledge and free fertiliser (!) More than that, it is not just a collective but a family. Behind the beans are a kind, knowledgeable and passionate couple that are willing to learn, invest and educate. We had a brilliant time walking, tasting and chatting. What you are doing is fantastic. We hope yo see you again soon and we wish you the absolute best. Good luck with Jakarta in may 😉 If you are after the instagrammable Bali coffee, this is not the place for you. If you want real, innovative, top tier coffee, on an authentic and young farm (forgeting that Luwak nonsense) with the loveliest owners come here. They also sell freshly roasted beans (and sometimes green beans too but they were not available for us). Weird and wonderful processes as well as washed and natural. Fantastic prices and even better tastes.

We visited Curtina Coffee Farm twice and loved it! The team is truly passionate about different fermentation methods. If you’re looking for something exclusive and unusual, this is the place. They explain their processes with enthusiasm, and you can taste unique coffees—some available in small 100g batches. Perfect for trying something special!

As a coffee roaster, I'm always searching for new possible green bean suppliers. I learned about this coffee farmer from my research on Google. The way up there from Renon, Denpasar, was long. It wasn't easy to find it. Finally, however, I made my way to this remote spot. And I can say it was worthwhile. Although the owner was a bit sick, he explained to me his daily work very well. I appreciate that. Thanks a lot. Unfortunately, the last harvest was already sold out, and the new one will not start before June. So I left Curtina Coffee Farm without a single green bean. However I was impressed and I'll try to stay in contact.

After messaging in advance we visited this amazing family coffee farm. We had a tour of the farm and learned so much about the coffee plants and process before tasting some coffee which was delicious! This was a really special experience and I hope I can see curtina coffee in more places around Melbourne in the future!

The staff are very helpful and Kind. The location offers vast views jungle and coffee plantations. The buildings are made of bamboo and are really nice, with fireplace( which we used. This resort has great potential if the owner wanted to upgrade the quality of the establishment in line with their prices.- rooms need cleaning up, remove dead insects from bed nets- use ( bayclin) disinfectant, no stains on linen, etc -make dinning area that is inviting- replace platic bottles as lamps for garden. Message for owner: put some efforts for improvements. The resort is in very bad condition.

I stayed at Bali Eco Village for one night and had a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout my stay. They were knowledgeable and always willing to assist with any inquiries or requests. The food at the eco village was absolutely delicious. I had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes, and each one exceeded my expectations. The ingredients used were fresh and locally sourced, adding to the overall eco-friendly experience. One of the highlights of my stay was the stunning views. The eco village is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, offering a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Whether it was waking up to a breathtaking sunrise or relaxing in the afternoon while taking in the picturesque scenery, the views provided a sense of peace and tranquility. The sauna facilities at the eco village were top-notch. The sauna was well-maintained and provided a rejuvenating experience. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the surrounding areas. Additionally, I appreciated that the eco village is dog-friendly. It was a pleasure to be able to bring my furry friend along for the trip. The staff was accommodating and provided amenities and spaces specifically designed for dogs. Overall, my stay at Bali Eco Village was nothing short of amazing. The pleasant staff, delicious food, stunning views, excellent sauna, and dog-friendly environment all contributed to a memorable experience. I highly recommend this eco village for anyone looking for a sustainable and enjoyable stay in Bali

The view from our balcony is stunning! Sauna and fireplace in the bungalow are something you can't find anywhere else, the surroundings are very serene and tranquil. Mbok Surya and the boys are very accomodating and helpful eventho we asked their help in the middle of the night. The road might be challenging but the boys are always there to help. Overall, the rate and the service are woth the money. Definitely will be back!

Beautiful stay with amazing atmosphere and very friendly staff! The road on the go to the lodge is a bit hard to travel on. There is also a sauna as an option. The view out of the lodges are breath-taking! All these on quite good prices!

The place is amazing. However, they make the most out of the fact that it is isolated by overpricing activities and properly ripping you off if you don't have your own mean of transportation. Would this policy change rating would go up to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.

What a lovely en calming place. We felt incredebly relaxed here. Very caring and sweet staff and we really recommend this hotel. Ps: the massages are wonderful and affordable.

Nice place to stay but their location is not for everyone. I recommend this place for meditation, yoga or looking for inspiration.

The view is absolutely breathtaking — that’s the main reason people come here, and it truly delivers. It’s a unique glamping experience, perfect for a peaceful one-night escape. I stayed longer after a tough hike and really appreciated the calm, magical atmosphere. One of the best parts? In the evening, they light a firepit next to each cabin — it creates such a cozy and beautiful vibe under the stars. A couple of things could be improved: the road up has some tricky sections (I did slip on the bike a few times), so a bit of maintenance would help. Also, it would be amazing to have a small kitchen or the option to order meals like dinner or breakfast. But overall, this place is special. Peaceful, quiet, and full of charm — the perfect nature escape.

The coziest glamping ever! We had a pleasant night near bonfire, listening to music and in the morning we went to the sunrise point which is 30 min away from this place. The glamping is located near multiple cafes so you can enjoy your evening there on the sunset!

Unique stay with stunning lake and mountain view. Tiny home but big in love and experience. Will be regularly back when visit Kintamani🍃 ps: maybe you’ll get addicted with the hot tub and fire pit🤣

I definitely recommend this spot. I'm not sure about long-term stays, but for one night, it's the perfect place. We wanted to spend time between the mountains, close to Lake Batur. After analyzing a bunch of reviews, I chose this place. We stayed at Glamping 1. The room was cozy and clean. The bed linens were spotless. Inside, there was an air conditioner, a bug repellent, sockets, a router, a kettle, coffee, cups, a trash bin, and towels. The internet worked perfectly, and I was able to call my parents via video, who live on the other side of the world. Behind the apartment, there's a bathroom: a sink, a shower, a toilet, soap, shower gel, shampoo, towels, and a trash bin. It was also clean. There's a local supermarket quite nearby, and if you drive a little forward or backward, there are plenty more. Immediately after checking in, we went to relax at a restaurant, and when we returned in the evening, the administrator lit a bonfire for us. We weren’t scared, as all the neighboring rooms were occupied. No one disturbed each other, so we were able to enjoy the fire and the sounds of nature. The night was peaceful. We woke up fairly early due to the sun, but we got some great photos. In the morning, there were a lot of flies. A friendly dog visited us; it didn’t bother us, just enjoyed the morning on our terrace. We had coffee, which was delicious. We checked out around 10 a.m. The administrators weren't there yet, so I informed them via WhatsApp that we were leaving. This place definitely deserves a good review and a visit.

One of the most serine glamping stay surrounded by veggie fields overlooking a mountain. Sunrise at this stay is insane. There was bonfire too in the evening. Very friendly owner and staff! We had actually booked the stay a day before and arrived on the checkout date! Still the owner understood our mistake and helped us by allowing us to stay.

Waking up to the view of Mount Abang. Stayed here while in Kintamani, this place provides authentic glamping experience yet still address comfort. They have AC inside of the tent for the afternoon scorching heat and room heater for the chilling night. Each tent/cabin has their own bathroom, which is a huge plus. Gotta mention the service of one of the staffs, Bli Nengah who will go over everything to provide best hospitality, from taking food orders to borrowing his own bike😅 Sehat selalu, Mas Nengah🙏

I booked a cabin there with my partner and a her friend. All necessities are met :) view is awesome although my time there was shrouded with rain clouds.

Private farm with lovely jungle backdrop . The owner asked us to pay 20k Rp per person to go in and take photos.

Starting to bloom (end of September). Going to be beautiful. There were a number of Marigold fields visible as we started the climb up Mount Agung. Some were more in flower than others. Nice free spot to view if you’re in the area.

When we were heading there, the locals there told us that the place has been sold and it’s closed down. Wasted our time coming as it was quite a journey to reach there

Half of it was closed plus no bloom flowers. And they took money also .

Seasonal. None blooming or even growing as of April 2021
