The road to access. The last few hundred meters are quite bad and steep. Our driver managed it but was not very happy 😬

Very nice cosy, calm little place. Quite new with a nice view. Small restaurant, everything is cooked at the moment. Usual choice, good food. Very nice staff

I was a bit unfortunate to have had a rude neighbour, but it had nothing to do with the property or the staff. It was an amazing experience!

The location was amazing, definitely a highlight of the experience. Surrounded by mountains and so peaceful. I’ll surely be back, whether with friends, my partner, or even alone. The facilities were beyond my expectations. The staff made everything easy for us, super helpful. We got hungry a bit earlier than dinner time, but they can made food at any time! Enjoy the view from my room attached!

A second comforter would have been nice & a set of face towels also.

The cute, boho-style rooms with a view of Mount Batur & the absolutely lovely hosts ♡ Breakfast was freshly prepared every morning & was included in the price. Bali Kopi & tea were for free. The outdoor area by the kitchen was cozy to sit & linger. The food was always very tasty & fresh.

Location is a bit difficult to get anywhere - Grab app doesn’t work here and in the general area they overcharge on local taxi. So better to rent a scooter if you want to go around. Lots of flies - unavoidable.

The place is very cute and cosy. The shower is amazing, the bed and pillows are very comfortable. Friendly and helpful family.

just perfect. room is very cozy and clean. you’ll wake up to the beautiful mountain view in the morning and have a cup of coffee while enjoying the sound of birds chirping. staff is very helpful as well. when you need something they message you back quickly and help you. there is a restaurant at villa serving foods for very reasonable prices and there are also a could of restaurants nearby so you always have something to eat.

Just a place to retreat outside of a village. Lovely couple managing the property that are very accommodating.

A little bit remote/far from town - but hosts can organize transport if needed Lots of flies/bugs

A beautiful, clean and quiet place to stay for Mt Batur Hike. Very peaceful and relaxing. The family who own Hillside Bali are very friendly and helpful. Organized for my Batur Trekking and Hot Springs Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙏🏻

Such a great place to stay if you want to explore around Mount Batur and climb it. Immaculate and comfy room in a beautiful setting with the most amazing hosts. Great food too! Such a fab stay for our 2 nights.

The view and location are absolutely stunning, surrounded by breathtaking nature. We loved the serene atmosphere. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and both the room and the bathroom were beautifully designed. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional warmth and friendliness of the hosts – they made our stay unforgettable.

Beautiful rooms, very quiet location and very friendly & sweet hosts. Definitely recommend this place and remember it for the next time :) Just be aware, that it is quite on the country side and the road is bumpy.

The location is a little off the beaten path - might also be a plus, depending on what one wants. Many flies in the rainy season, but that is the truth in the whole area.

Very nice and reasonably priced accommodation in a rural setting in Bali. The hosts are super nice and helpful, even gave me a ride to a local thermal prong for free! Definitely recommend.

The owners are amazing, friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a wonderful place, very beautiful and very well maintained. We booked the tour to Mount Batur with them and everything went well and serve us some pancakes before. They also helped us with the driver to Amed. Thanks for everything.🙏

There are a bunch of flies because all of Kintamani is full of agricultural lands, you can’t avoid it. It’s not only at the accommodation. You get used to it :)

We stayed at this beautiful accommodation for 3 nights and we couldn’t get enough of the view. Waking up in the morning with Mt. Batur and Mt. Abang was astonishing. The hosts (Mario and Ranting) were very nice and always made us feel at home. Whether you want to do Mt. Batur hike (start point is a 3 min scooter ride from the accommodation), get a driver to take you somewhere, wash your clothes or even get a massage at the accommodation, both Mario and Ranting will arrange it for you. The accommodation has a restaurant, and let us tell you the food was delicious and affordable, so it was not necessary for us to leave the accommodation at all. Our stay included breakfast, and the omelet was delicious, served with a fruit portion. The honey chicken and mujair nyat nyat (if you like spicy) were the best dishes on the menu in our opinion. We had the chance to cook a local fish dish (mujair nyat nyat) with Ranting, this was definitely our favourite part of the stay! And by the way, they grow their own onions, tomatoes and chillies around the accommodation!

Breakfast although tasty could be a little more generous. Suggest adding a second piece of toast & also some butter & spreads such as honey & jam. Please include Tea/Coffee & Juice not just allow a choice of one or the other. Juice could also be served in a bigger glass with ice. Fruit portion was not enough for three people to share. Last night I ordered a pancake for dessert, unfortunately it was undercooked & chewy.

A well priced & varied dinner menu, unfortunately our favourite chicken satays were not available. Lovely decor in the villas, clean & fresh, very comfortable bed. This property of three villas is still a work in progress, establishing lawns & gardens, adding a swimming pool in the future. This couple are doing a great job at creating a property that they should be very proud of. Beautiful views.

Their water pressure was a lil bit weak (understandable because it's very far from the city)

It feels brand new, clean, and very private. They only have 3 rooms so far. Their yard is what I like the most. You can see the mountain from the room. Soaking up the sun in the morning at the yard while enjoying my cappuccino was very memorable. They also helped me to arrange the mount batur trekking trip, very recommended! Their nasi goreng was very yummy! They also have a very cute cat as a front desk 😆

The shower was very weak, the road to the property is very poor.

Banana pancakes, the owners are super friendly and helpful. Beautiful 3 little rooms and gardens.

New, beautifully decorated bungalow, comfortable bed. Amazing views, peaceful and quiet. The hosts are the kindest, warmest and most welcoming! I had a wonderful stay at Hillside and will definitely come back!

Stayed in August 2024

They kindly told us about the flys because it is near agricultural land, so just had to get used to that and remember to shut the doors :)

The food was amazing, loved their family restaurant, also a beautiful location nestled in the hillside and amongst the clouds. We had traveled quite a long way, so the bathroom facilities and a hot shower were great, especially after doing the Mount Batur hike that next morning.

A bit far from the lake (you need a ride in motorbike)

Mario and his wife are starting this homestay with all their efforts and dedication. You notice it from the decoration in the rooms, the cleanness of the place but most importantly the time that they take to welcome you, to explain all you need, to serve double breakfast (just bfore leaving for the trek at sunrise and after coming back from the volcano), to offer you his personal motorbike if you have a problem… We stayed just one short night bfore ascending the mount batur, but we appreciated their kindness and we found it a perfect base to have a rustic yet qualitatif rest bfore the trek to the summit.
