    Food price in resto is expensive (for such quality). 40k for fried noodle but they also sold "menu of today" like fried rice only 20k. The restaurant (also used as receptionist of villa) provided fishy info about trekking package. She said 1.2mio/person due to safety insurance from local community. She instroduced me to pak Mangku (Mowgli travel) who gave us 400k for trekking+ simple breakfast (bread, banana, boiled egg) on the top of volcano. It seems there are various route to the top. I didn't see the guide pay ticket entrace fee. So, not so sure if 400k is "normal price". Villa Dangka only gave fried rice/noodle/pancake for breakfast (no tea /coffee). Couldn't take a rest well coz the neighbour house arrange wedding event and the music /karaoke so loud til 2AM!!!

    This property listed in the web using 2names. Googlemap works well showed direction to Villa Dangka. Modern room with kettle, tea and some selection of coffee. No AC but mounted fan is provided.Bathroom is clean. Pool with natural hot spring was such a  bless after sunrise trekking to Batur volcano. The terrace is spacious with 3 big chairs, but can't sit too long coz of too many flies.

    Be aware that there is many flies because of the many vegetable farms nearby. Also, at the point of our visit, there were details in the room that could be better, i.a. unconnected sink and towel hangers in the bathroom.

    The host and personal are really friendly and will help you out with what ever you might need. E.g. the location is a bit far away from restaurants, so the host will help you and drive you to a restaurant nearby. The place has a great view of the mountains and the lake. There is even two hot spas that will be ready for whenever you want. The place has great value for money!

    we booked another place but we had to change because other people did not leave on time which looks like they have some organizational issues, there was no lakeview as we booked originally and it was farer away from the center, breakfast was ok but very small portions and they didn't understand that vegetarians don't want to eat sausages as well

    Nice pool with the volcanic hot water from the springs, new appartments - was still under construction, friendly and helpful staff,

    I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are a solo female traveller if Mowgli is still working for them. I believe he is not part of the family/hotel staff but organises the tours for them so was around a lot. The first night I spent here, no one else checked in, and this man (Mowgli) took full advantage of this and invited himself in to the hot springs with me. This would have been fine (a bit strange but fine) if he had kept his distance, but he was incredibly inappropriate and made me feel so uncomfortable, trying to touch my feet/head/commenting on how I look. I tried to move away every time to a different corner and he persisted so after a short while I got out and went to my room. The next day I asked him to help me find an activity to do, and instead of just helping with pricing or arranging this over whatsapp, he once again invited himself into my space and kept trying to sit on the arm of my chair and hug me/touch my head and face. He went as far as to grab my arm and call me sexy. At this point I told him I don’t want to be touched, and he laughed and said sorry. If I had not been completely by myself I would have stood up for myself straight away, but being alone in an unfamiliar place with an older man who was making me feel unsafe was really quite scary. Luckily a couple from France checked in later that day and after I explained what had happened they stuck by my side. If you use a different company to book your tours or are travelling as a pair or group then I can’t imagine this would be an issue, but it definitely ruined my stay and I left a day early so thought it was important to mention for any solo ladies

    I want to preface the rest of this review by saying that Kadek and his family were wonderful. So kind and helpful, they didn’t have a laundry service but he helped me by taking it to a local place; breakfast and coffee were nice and the staff were always there to help if I needed something. The accommodation itself it’s spacious and comfortable. The hot springs pool is lovely in the early morning and evenings, amazing views as well.

    The bathroom was a little outdated and there was no sink. But this wasn’t a massive issue as it was only a 2 night stay! I would still recommend this place regardless

    We loved our stay here! It was the perfect base to do the mount Batur hike which was organised once we arrived through the owner so was super easy and hassle free. You’re really near the start of the hike so we got picked up at 3.30 and still made it to the top in time. On the property itself the hot springs were definitely the highlight!

    The room itself is very basic and the bathroom could do with even a small sink as the only way to wash is using the shower faucet.

    Kadek and his family were lovely and super helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. He brought us fresh, complimentary fruit every day and offered us transportation, guides and tips. The natural hot spring pools are a great add-on and the views of the lake and mountain are priceless. Suksma Kadek for making us feel so welcomed!

    Only thank it is quite far from everything and if you don’t have your own transport it might be a problem to find a taxi here, it is better to arrange and buy everything you might need in advance. And also flies: having romantic dinner in the patio can be annoying a little. If you don’t have food it is fine.

    Very friendly host, marvelous local breakfast, spacious rooms, hot tubs with the nice view! It feels very authentic and welcoming.

    No sink in the bathroom, the shower is without separation and with little water pressure.

    3 beautiful little cottages with large beds. For the price and as a base for Mt Batur tour it was perfect! The hot volcano thermal pools are great 👍. The owner Kadek ist very nice and serves fresh fruit from his garden.

    Not as peaceful as the surrounding nature would imply, we could hear a lot of noise from neighbours. The bathroom was a bit dirty with soap scum and mould.

    Beautiful views of the lake and mountain. The hot water pools were so relaxing. Rooms were simple but had all the necessities. Fantastic value for money.

    I received a warm greeting from my very hospitable host. Jepun Bali is well positioned to enjoy a tranquil and very special view of the lake. The garden is very pleasant, it has a pool with lovely warm water to soak in. My room was clean and comfortable and I slept with the company of sweet dreams. Unfortunately my stay was for only one night, I would have liked to stay longer. Terima kasih to my host for giving me good memories and an experience of Balinese hospitality and kindness. You shall be forever in my thoughts and heart, and I hope we meet again. 🙏

    The bathroom could use a little attention. There's no sink, and the shower had minimal water pressure. That being said, I still loved it here and wanted to stay one not night but couldn't because they were booked.

    This is a fantastic little property. There's only three rooms here, and they're all in separate buildings. The room is quite large. There is a natural hot spring on site, so you don't have to leave and spend money on overpriced, overcrowded pools. The king-sized bed was super comfy. The staff will go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable and happy. The wifi was strong, and the view from the property (of both the lake and Batur) was amazing. You're in real Batur country living here with few services around, so come to enjoy the quiet (minutes the rooster) and solitude.

    The bathroom was lacking in some aspects. There was no sink and the shower was right next to the toilet so when taking a shower the whole floor got wet and dirty. It was therefore difficult brushing teeth etc. It was also not properly cleaned. The room didn’t have an ac nor a fan so it was a bit warm at night but manageable. The area was not that great and you will need a moped to get around. A bit noisy at night, one night someone had a party close to the hotel and there are roosters that are close too.

    Good if you’re going to hike Mt Batur, about 10 min drive from the hotel! Great and helpful staff, they even helped drive us to Amed which was 1.5 hours away. The view from the hotel was beautiful seeing the lake and mountains. There was also a local warung that you could order food from which was delicious (and cheap)!

Kadek and Mowgli were really helpful and good hosts. The hot spring is pleasant in the chill evenings. Mowgli got us a rental motorbike and he organizes hikes to Mt Batur. Kadek's fater gave us a car ride to our next destination Tulamben. Really nice guy him as well! High recomendation for this place :)
