Very nice cabins, good to have pool and swimming, we really enjoyed our time here

Stayed in May 2025

There were a lot of bugs in our room (And i'm not talking about the Flies). Also the pictures make it look a lot better than the reality. The shower was not really convenient and didn't function well. But the biggest let down here was the town. There was absolutely nothing to do here. We wanted to fund a place where we could eat and drink something, but there was just nothing there. The surroundings are beautiful, but without transportation there, it is not really worth the visit.

There was a ceremony in town, therefore all the staff was not at the cottage except for Wang, who was our welcoming host, tour guide, chef, driver,... And we want to thank him for that. He was very helpfull and funny and really made our stay here a lot better! He cooked very tasting dinners and drove us around. He even drove us all the way to Sidemen because we couldn't find a Grab or taxidriver. Also the other People we saw we're all very nice and friendly.

The staff was very accommodating. He helped us organize a trip for a nice price. Even transport around the area. They got us a great guide named Wi while climbing Batur. It's a pity that the selection of drinks and food was not complete. A third of the menu was currently unavailable. But all this was balanced by the friendliness of the people in this accommodation. Overall, the price/performance ratio was excellent.

The pool and view were not quite as good as the photo on the website suggests. Luckily the place next door has a great view, and you can sit there to enjoy some food and drinks while taking it all in. Parking is also very limited.

The staff were nice, and the rooms were cozy and clean. The bed was especially comfortable. The beds also have insect nets which you will want to get opened up over your bed asap as there are plenty of flies. Overall, good value for money.

No fan in room. The road up to the accomodation is “challenging” on a scooter. A little rough.

Great view, lovely pool, although chilly up here so we didn’t use it. They have a restaurant where we ate. Food was great & breakfast sufficient.

Stayed in July 2024

Just found out that they provide a mountain tour on a little jeep, which unfortunately woke us up at 4am as they warm up the jeep next to our cabin. The bathroom was a bit smelly sometimes, but the host was quick to clean them. Also, clean pool would be nice

The host was nice, had a good view and the available car park. Cabin was spacious

Wi-Fi wasn’t working properly during our stay. The speed was so dreadful so we couldn’t use any messenger to text. The door lock wasn’t in good condition too. We asked them help us to close door every time.

We stayed there only one night. So everything was good. Pool is smaller than we expected, but it was pretty cold outside, so we didn’t swim. Room was nice. Also the owner offered us free tea/coffee.

We stayed three nights and never had the bin for the toilet changed out. Other than that it was perfect!

Ketut and Radia and all the staff made my friend and I feel so welcomed. They invited us to their family’s ceremony and were so inclusive and kind. Such amazing hospitality and was an amazing start to our time in Bali. I highly recommend staying here if you plan on coming to Kintamani.

The establishment is not at fault, but there are roosters roaming around in that village and were kind of noisy during the night. Also the area has flies, so you had to constantly swat them away, eating or not, but its like that everywhere on the mountain and not a fault of the owner.

The owner and co-owners were very welcoming, and helpful. We used a lot of google translate but it was doable. The view was gorgeous, the breakfast was included , it was simple but delicious, i liked the banana pancakes and scrambled eggs. The pool was nice, natural water, the bed was comfortable, pillows were soft and bouncy. They also had hot shower and bidé for the toilet. The co-owner Radia was very kind and drove me everywhere needed, since the cottage was up in the mountain area, the transport was included. He also drove me to hot natural springs, where he was a member and the price was discounted because of it. He also suggested and drove me to Montana cafe, a must see, the place had a really good asian style mushroom dish, and the view towards mount Batur is breathtaking. You can take pictures there in a seemingly suspended net, Radia obliged with lots of shots. Radia also was the mountain guide to catch the sunrise on mount Batur. He was very good at taking pictures and he really liked doing it, a girls dream in photography. He also helped me when i couldnt climb, so i felt very well taken care of. All in all a very good value for price, and helpfulness.

We really enjoyed our stay at "Pondok Bali Cottage"! The cottage was comfortable and hygienic, the food delicious and the swimmingpool so refreshing. The staff was lovely and very helpfull. They arranged a hike to Mount Batur and a taxi service to our next destination in Bali. You really feel like a member of their family. Thanks 🙏

Nice place. Beautiful view. The staff was very nice. Wayan was very helpful. He showed us around and helped us with scheduling our program. We would definately recomment it!

Stayed in August 2023

The location is far from places so you need a vehicle to get around. Not the hotel’s fault, but we personally found people in Batur to be unwelcoming of tourists and trying to rip us off regularly.

Nice cute cottage in family run hotel. The food here is excellent, really delicious. Very friendly family.

Stayed in June 2023

A table with a chair inside the cottage would be nice. Sink and shower were not always working, but that's something you can expect in a remote location.

Very nice accommodation in a beautiful surrounding area. Clean room with nice bathroom. Breakfast was good, you can choose between 4 types of breakfast. We could use the motorbikes of the family which was very nice! With the motorbike you can get everywhere around the lake. I would definitely recommend going here!

Stayed in July 2023

The walls are very thin, so you can even hear someone sneezing in the next house. There is no air conditioning (heating), it is quite chilly.

The staff were super friendly. They helped us organise a trip to the volcano and the hot springs and took into account all our wishes. You can also order food (our friends had nasi goreng). We were given free tea, biscuits and bananas on arrival. The room is big and the bed is comfortable. There is hot water in the shower.

The owner was very helpful. If you stay here, ask him to arrange sunrise trip with 4x4 jeep, it was amazing experience

Stayed in June 2023

Not really a negative point, but more a "good to know" - although the location is quite off road, you will be surrounded by a lot of farming activity, including continous sound from the community, roosters, dogs etc. Don't expect this place to be the perfect little quiet getaway, but more like a perfect little vibrant homestay to get to know the life and the people from Kintamani ;)

The hosting family is amazing. They are so friendly and helpful, the food is great and the cabins are spacious and clean. Beds are incredible and fresh water is provided. Although a bit hidden, the location is perfect to do the Mt Batur trekking. Would definitely recommend staying at Pondok Bali Cottage - they will have a pool soon to cool of after your trekking.

Nothing in particular.

The staff are very friendly and accommadating. The location is beautiful too. We loved the cottages.

No hot water for the whole stay. Some flies around and rough road to get to the place.

Nice bed and views all around. Good for the price.

Stayed in April 2023

the location were a bit far away with the bumpy road but suitable for the adventurous one

the staff were so nice easy to communicate and willing to help us even gave us a tips on how to do shopping here

Stayed in May 2023

Because the location is in a farm area, there are many flies during the day. Just make sure to always keep the door close tightly.

It's located in the quiet remote neighborhood. The room has this honeymoon vibe. It's not far from the starting point for hiking Mount Batur. A great place for escape from city and annoying boss.

Stayed in May 2023

The shower didnt really work well. There were so many flies, according to the staff it was because of the onion plantations, this was very annoying. The staff are very friendly, but it can be quit difficult to communicate due to their lack of english.

Very good location to stay if you want to hike up the mountain. Very warm welcome. The staff is friendly and can help you with transfers and a guide to hike up the mountain for correct prices. The bed was very comfortable. Its a cozy place overall. The food was very tasty.
