Hotels Near Ulun Danu Batur Temple in Bali

We were sorry we ever booked into a “deluxe” room. We had to request a mini bar which is supposed to come with the room.There was no safe nor airconditioning.The blinds in the room are not hanging properly. The walls are paper thin.Bathroom is disgusting with a shower curtain also badly hung.Towels are thread bare. The breakfast is an oily mess.Then you get told that you may only have this or that from their so called menu.II asked for a second helping of fruit only to be told that she needs to check with the Chef...I suggest that restaurant staff get better training in hospitality.I gym everyday and walked out starving. This noisy hotel does not have a gym or even a bicycle to hire.There is however a heated pool with shabby old cushions & thread bare pool towels. Don’t think you have a view over lake or volcano….!!! Only positive thing to say is that the garden looks nice.

A hotel with a simply stunning view, but unfortunately that's where its advantages end. Needs renovation, rooms are old, services are expensive. I don't recommend it.

I spent a wonderful couple of very relaxing days at Toteme with my friend. We’d had a busy few days in Ubud, so staying at Toteme was a welcome break from the hustle and bustle! The pool was wonderful, I thought it might be odd to have a hot pool in hot weather but it was lovely. If I could have had a cold pool as well, that would have made the experience perfect! The beds were fabulous, You can also request different kinds of pillows, air con worked well. Fridge in room, handy to keep fruit/snacks cool. Water is provided free of charge and will be refreshed on request. tent feels absolutely luxurious. Safe provided for valuables. The staff were all very attentive and polite, the service could be a little slow but I realised this is the Bali way and tbh, where did I need to be?! At several other/different places we visited on our trip, food would come out in random orders, ie one main first, then a couple of drinks, then the other main, then a starter… it was amusing but could be frustrating if you’re not used to it! Toteme were pretty good in that regard. In particular Bintang was very attentive, her sunny smiling disposition made our stay there very enjoyable. The staff explained on arrival to expect noise from nature; the cicadas were very loud but only for a short time early evening , ear plugs are offered free of charge. I’d recommend having them anyway, the noise of car engines heading up the mountain at 3am is quite loud. As you are sleeping in a tent, you will be able to hear pretty much everything going on around you. The flies can be irritating, but they provide little electronic table fans to keep them off food/drinks. I’ve had worse flies in Spain on holiday. They don’t bother you so much when you’re in the pool. The location on arrival at the rim is stunning before driving down into the caldera. Recommend spending some time looking at the view and having lunch/drinks in one of the restaurants. Breakfast was lovey, there’s a choice of one cooked or cold dish ranging from avocado on toast, French toast, granola bowl and Nasi Goreng plus a fresh made juice OR coffee not both. I presume you can pay extra to have both. If you’re used to having a large breakfast, you might consider taking extra foods/snacks with you. We had two tents so we each had two breakfast choices! It was a bit too much food, but I would have wanted more food if I’d had one choice from the menu. As we ate large breakfasts, we didn’t need to eat again until dinner time. Cocktails and dinner all very well prepared although I think the seasoning is to ‘western’ taste. If you like spicy food, ask for Asian style. We asked for the Nasi Goreng at breakfast to be spicy, very tasty but still fairly bland.

Got an antimainstream vacay to Bali this July 2023, too bored to get beaches trip so then we chose to try bobocabin kintamani. Travelled all the way from Legian and we arrived quiet late (at around 8pm). Reaching Kintamani, thick fog welcomed us and we had to get ”up and down” way to the resort. A bit confused to get there at the first time, welcomed by Mr. Arie Radyan and the Ms. Yesi (whose friendly and so strong assisting our belongings 😭 - but we were hesitate). Thank you for the entire staff there, appreciate for the help to bring our ”heboh” luggage and belongings 😅 Super tired but when we arrived at our cabins.... OMG the view was so breathtakingly awesome! They provided some bbq stuffs (we have also bought some beef slices and instant noodles - of course - at town) and enjoyed the scenery up there. Hi-tech, very tidy functioning rooms. Key wasn't provided, we had to use the apps though. All those touch screened buttons (to blur & clear window option, for lamps setting etc) were so WOW. Not kind of morning persons but we woke up early to catch the sunrise moment. It - was - totally - ajhdhjejdhwh (even words can't explain 😭🙏🏻). Having some tea in the morning with view was so legit 🥲 Hope can be back someday 🥰

Very satisfied staying here, really recommended place. 1. Clean place, you can immediately see the view from above 2. The location is very easy to access, the price is this much on the main road🥹❤️ 3. The owner is helpful, I once lost a drone and the owner was immediately ready to help 4. The place is safe 5. You can soak in hot water, seriously, it's really delicious, clean 6. This is a villa but the price is boarding house😝🙏 Will come back here again if I get the chance, very happy

In the property there are 4 very simple Villas, spacious room, bathroom and that's it, little decoration and everything very simple and not very clean (tv photos), the views are beautiful, the worst thing is the MOSCAS (Flies) it's impressive, you can't eat ! The plates are filled with them, in the pool you can NOT spend even two minutes because they bother you all the time and there are millions of them everywhere, it's a nuisance. Apart from the flies, the service offered by the hotel is lousy, there is no one in a kind of reception that is in the Bar-terrace, you have to call a phone and after a while someone comes to you... we ask for breakfast almost by signs already that they speak English like I do Indonesian (0)… after much pointing out, what is on the menu, we ask for 2 continental breakfasts (which they offer on the menu for 50k) they bring us only one! I claim and they have forgotten or they haven't found out, mystery, after 45 minutes of clock and putting up with the unbearable flies they bring me my breakfast... oh and there was no one else in the Bar-Restaurate...! Amazing! We didn't even dare to ask for anything else there! Too bad since the place looked good.

The surrounding environment of the hotel is beautiful and quiet. The room is very clean, but the decoration is relatively simple. The floor is made of tiles. It is very cold to walk on the mountain without wearing shoes. It would be great if the floor can be replaced. There is a kitchen to cook. It is very close to Batur Volcano, you can contact the hotel to arrange volcano climbing. The climate is dry and comfortable, and the nights are cool. During the day, clothes can be dried in a few hours after the sun comes out. It is worth noting that the road to the hotel is super difficult, and it is definitely a challenge for drivers who drive!

The Farm villas, of a very good standard, have an exceptional view of the valley and the Agung and Abang volcanoes, where calm and serenity reign. The design and orientation of the villas, combined with the altitude, mean that air conditioning is unnecessary. Rama who manages the restaurant is very friendly. For the curious, the 'coco oil tour' is recommended. Dewa showed us the property but also the surrounding countryside. Thanks to him. The only weak point is that the restaurant's menu is currently very limited; At our request, however, they prepared an excellent Balinese 'cap cai' for us.

Having waited long to stay in this place, here is an honest review with positive and negative feedback from our 3 nights stay. It’s a newly opened accommodation that I wouldn’t describe as a hotel. It’s a complex of villas that some are still under construction, however we weren’t bothered by any noise. There were downsides that are weird for an accommodation that describe it self as as “luxury retreat”. Cons: • No safety locker in the villa, which you would expect in any hotel. This was inconvenient. • Pool area lacks seating, contrary to the photos. We couldn’t fully enjoy the place. • The pool was very cold. It would have been better if they had a water heater. Additionally, the pool isn’t fully private, as guests from adjacent villas can see you from their first-floor rooms. • Every morning, farmers in neighboring plots would burn plants, creating an unbearable smoke smell that could seep into the villa if you left the doors open. This made mornings unpleasant. • No ironing board was available, so we had to use the bed, which was inconvenient. • The shower room lacks a shelf for shampoo and soap, which are placed above the toilet. Also, the shower room wasn’t fully covered, causing water to spill out. • The bathroom was small despite the spaciousness of the villa. • We were awakened in the early morning by loud noises/music from other villas. • Upon arrival, they send you the breakfast menu for each morning, but it lacks instructions on what you can order. Breakfast options need improvement, especially non-egg choices. • The hotel restaurant isn’t ready yet, leaving no place to eat given the hotel’s secluded location. Make sure to have snacks. Pros: • The staff is amazing, very friendly, and super helpful. They consistently had smiles and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. • They pleasantly surprised us with a cake as we were celebrating our anniversary. • The views from the villas are stunning, overlooking the rice paddies. • The location is secluded, allowing you to truly relax away from the busy city. • Indoor seating was convenient, equipped with a TV featuring Netflix. • The villa was spacious, clean, and well furnished. • There were no insects inside the villa. • We requested an iron, and it was promptly delivered. • The hotel arranged taxis quickly for us. • We reported a water leakage in the toilet, and it was promptly fixed.
