It took a while to get to the start of the hike.

Great views, lovely staff.

If you are going to this hotel yourselves do not follow google maps !! The route it takes you is extremely challenging and caused us to have an accident.

Amazing location, view and staff. The food and drink at the hotel was lovely and the room was exactly what we needed for our stay. We had an incident on the way and the staff couldn’t have been better, they came to help us, picked us up and sorted us out without hesitation. Honestly don’t know what we would have done, cannot thank you all enough !

However, two things you must be aware of before going there: First is there're hundreds and thousands of flies during the daytime in the area. If you keep the door open, the flies will get into the room, and they die very soon after entering the room, leaving lots of deed bodies. If you shut the door, it will be really warm inside, as there is no air-conditioning or a fan. Second, make sure your driver knows which way is safer to get there. Otherwise, call the villa to ask.

Great location to see Mt Batur. Such a beautiful place giving you a stunning view of the mountains and the village. Considering the price, it is really great value for money. Beautiful room and outdoor bathroom. Limited choice of food, but with very low prices. My husband enjoyed the local morning market very much! We bought several bags of yummy mangosteen and mangoes at a very low price.

Pinggan Caldera is rather remote and requires your own transportation to get there, but boasts beautiful views of Mount Batur and the surrounding area, especially early in the morning at sunrise. The rooms were decent and so was breakfast. If you have your own transportation and are willing to stay some distance from the town itself, this is a good option to consider.

It’s a steep road down to the town

Great location, friendly staff, good food. Quiet, spectacular views.

Watch out if driving to the property and following a Sat Nav. If the Sat Nav takes you down into the valley from Kintamani to get to the property & you don't have a 4 wheels drive - take an alternative route across the top. Our small car would not make it up the steep road at the final section when 5 mins away from property. We had to go back down into the valley (after a precarious few minutes and the help of locals), and take a different route which was another 40 mins! Saying that the drive through the valley past the lava edge was very dramatic & the villages growing veg were interesting. So worth a visit just not on route to property! Going across the top the property was easy to find & get to.

The location is stunning, the views are spectacular & provided many magical moments watching the sunrise over the volcanoes whilst listening to the birds. The bungalows are simple but beautiful and we had all we needed. The staff were lovely and their cooking very tasty. The pool is a lovely feature with various seating areas to sit, listen and look at nature. We requested rooms next to each other which was arranged as we were travelling as a family. The location is also good to drive to explore around Lake Batur, Kintamani & Mount Batur. Spectacular place and would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed staying here! The view and accommodation were amazing, the food was delicious and we definitely would recommend doing the mount batur hike. We booked the hike with the accomodation and we would recommend doing so. Our tour guide Suda was the best. One of the loveliest person we have ever met. Such a friendly and happy soul. He was really happy about the opportunity doing this job, so please support him. He taught us a lot about his culture as well which was interesting. And the views of the hike were amazing as well. We would definitely come back again.

Flies everywhere, cannot be help though due to surrounding farm lands. Hard to get away from the property, grab doesn’t work up there and the owner had to call us a taxi which was rather expensive compared to the prices on grab. However the taxi driver was beyond lovely.

View was unreal, easy to get to mount Batur and the hotel can help with tours which take you to see the black lava as-well. This tour was relatively cheap aswell compared to prices on get your guide it was half price for a private keep tour, just make sure you bring a jacket because it’s freezing in the morning. The jeep tour is included int eh pictures.

The shower in the bathroom is so weak that it takes a long time to take a shower. and guest check-in procedures need to be improved.

Very beautiful view and nice staff.

You are far away from the lake and there isn't really anything to do within walking distance. Most people come to this area for Mount Batur though, so it's not like it's a problem anyway.

The view was incredible and the room was comfortable. They were happy to make me some food whenever I asked. The nasi goreng ayam was very tasty.

The hotel is quite remote and not quite equipped for tourists that want to do early morning sunrise visits and have options for food. There is no English speaking staff. It's nearly impossible to find a taxi or other transportation options from the hotel. A few upgrades in services could make this one of the best options in Batur. We didn't regret our stay, but we didn't manage to get to the sunrise view in time, even though it was maybe a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk away.

The view from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking. The room is small and cabin-like. The hotel has been newly opened. They were good with preparing a dinner and breakfast for us and the hotel managed to find us a car ride back.

Only thing i would have liked was a fridge.

The cottages are not very sound proof, so we had difficulty sleeping because of dogs barking, loud music in the village and such. It gets really cold inside at night.

The view is absolutely amazing. We chose this stay as an alternative way to experience the sunrise over the mountains, and it was great! There is nothing nearby and the road up there is steep and narrow, so you need a scooter or driver. We chose a driver. Besides the included breakfast, you can get delicious local food for lunch and dinner - the hotel staff makes it.

Annoying flies, no shelves in the bathroom, no possibility to rent a moto scooter or similar. Despite the location being beautiful there is not much to do around.

Amazing view of a mountain in Batur. Well-groomed territory. Soft bed linen.

The location has a lot of flies but this is due to farms in the area.

Nothing can beat the view you get at all times at this place. It had a great bed and a very nice bathroom. The staff was nice and helpful l.

Knowing that most clients come to climb Mt Batur very early in the morning, it would be nice for the staff to ask other guests to respect the noise level past a certain time.

Beautiful views. simple but practical rooms. Great food onsite.

Very isolated, almost nothing around there. We ate there and both got stomach problems.

Nice view on mount Batur and comfy rooms.

Flies are the only minus, but it's the nature, you can't rule it. wlWe recommend to buy antiinsect spray, if you have it, the problem is over :)

The room was clean, even the open roof bathroom. The food was very tasty here, we had here lunch and dinner. Bed is very comfortable. Pretty nice views to Mt. Batur
