Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

IndiaThe restaurant food is basic. You can go to town / explore near by restaurants for good food.
If you are at Kintamani and if you need a quiet place with a stunning view of the lake / mountain along with hot water pool, this is the place. The place is basic / backpacker type but perfect for trekking around the area and explore the place. They can arrange the bike rentals, taxi back to other places, trekking to Mt. Batur and other activities on a nominal price.

United StatesCan’t complain, nice place.
Great location for climbing Mt Batur. Beautiful hot springs and view. It was so relaxing, and I loved my stay. There are many mosquitos/flies but that is just common for the area. I stayed in the 6 person dorm and the beds were comfortable. Lots of space for bags and a locker to keep valuables. Lots of friendly people staying here so perfect for a solo traveler. And the breakfast was simple and nice!

BelgiumThe road going to the hostel is a bit tricky, be careful with your car/bike.
So comfortable beds in the dorms! It's possible to book the Mt Batur guide directly at the hostel, no need to book it in advance. The hot springs are amazing with a beautiful view.

Indonesiaflies : but again it's nature you can't complain about it. It would happen wherever I stayed in Kintamani. it's not the hostel fault.
View : Just open the room door and the splendid view (Mountain and Lake) is just in front of you. Hot spring : we can chill out in hot spring whole day while enjoying the view. This is the facility which makes this hostel 10 out of 10.

AustraliaShower head is very broken. The small holes in the shower head give different pressure and temperature. It was an actual uncomfortable shower. Staff are shy and reluctant to communicate because they don’t speak English. “Don’t look at you, don’t look at me” approach. Otherwise amazing and I cannot rate it poorly based on these things.
Absolutely amazing hot spring on the property. Restaurant available on site too. Amazing view. Priceless

FinlandThere are a lot of flies in Kintamani. Nothing that the hostel could have done, but they were super annoying. The road leading to the main road is very dark at night so you will need a flashlight. No AC just fan.
The room is very simple but if you are not expexting luxury, the room has all you need: super comfortable beds, shower and toilet, a fan, electric kettle and coffee. In addition the breakfast is included in the price. The garden is beautiful with a thermal pool and amazing view of the lake and mountains! Several supermarkets are close by. The hostel had a lovely cat that actually slept in our room <3 They also organized a guide for us to hike up mount Batur for sunrise although we were very last minute. A bit expensive (30€ per person) but the guide was excellent! The tour included some coffee and small pastries before taking off and a breakfast while watching the sunrise (banana toast, boiled egg and banana, and tea coffee or hot chocolate). He also took us around the crater and finally backnto the hostel.

IndiaThe flies everywhere in Kintamani and in this hostel too. They were very annoying. Nothing other than flies. Go for it. This is just awesome.
The entire property gives peace to your mind. So refreshing and relaxing hot spring swimming pool, delicious breakfast & delicious food too. The best ever stay I had in Bali except the experience with flies it was annoying. Rest would definitely recommend for everyone to try this hostel.

GermanyThe dorm was extremely simple: literally eight mattresses in line on the floor (hence so cheap). Was lucky to share it with two super nice backpackers. But forget privacy. They offer scooter rentals (overpriced compared to other bali locations) and a mt batur guide for 450k. Definitely not a bargain. The vibe was a bit ghostly but that has to deal with the fact that it’s low season I guess.
Beautiful location, overlooking the lake. You definitely need a scooter to move around. Loved the hot springs, perfect way to chill in the slightly fresh evenings or after the mt batur hike. Staff is helpful.

United StatesThe price of the Mount Batur hike was pricey- you could do it for less in Ubud, with transportation to the mountain included. The staff was not very accommodating.
The hot springs were delightful with a great view of the mountain over the lake! Its great for an escape if you want to get away from the crowds of people for a day or two.
