Reviews of Volcano Living

The volcano pool

The toilet no bidet

Staff nice, helpfull.

All ok, except sink and cupboard was broken.

Cute place in a great location. There is a natural, 24-hour hot spring in the back which was lovely to hang out in during sunset. There is a waterpark with water sports a few-minutes walk away. Lovely staff and breakfast was great!

Quiet, no jeep sound make you wake up at 03.00

Pool facing Mt Batur

Poorly manages facilities. Toilet bidet was leaking whole time and couldn't be used, as no water came out for washing. Walls are thin, noise from other rooms very loud. Beware of house flies, they humans and I mean alot. Wish someone would come by Kintamani and sell the blue light traps for flies. No kettle to boil water (had to pay for boiled water to make own tea) Good view from the pool, however the bamboo blockade to other hotel was too high thus blocking the sunrise view. If it was sawn lower by 1/2 a meter and it doesn't affect other hotel's privacy, this would have been priceless. Pic is a great view, sorry half a great view.

Nothing to like about this property at all. Yuck!!!

Everything - DO NOT Stay at this place. It is disgusting!

It was the worst stay I've ever had, on entering the room was full of flies, we were told not to forget to bring shoes inside as stray dogs eat them. The sheets had stains on them... In short, I don't recommend

Close to Batur, guides provided at extra cost

Too many flies during breakfast

Volcano Living offers a unique and scenic escape in the heart of Kintamani, ideal for a short leisure or family trip. The surrounding mountain air and peaceful ambiance set a relaxing tone for the night, and for its price point, the accommodation delivers the essentials. The staff member who eventually greeted us was courteous, though appeared drowsy — perhaps understandably, given the late hour — and offered minimal explanation about how the room or facilities worked unless asked directly.

We arrived shortly after 9 PM and were left waiting at the entrance gate for several minutes before anyone came to meet us. Upon arrival, the staff casually mentioned that “others don’t like staying up late,” which felt unprofessional. The hot water system required about 15 minutes of running before it began working — which, in Kintamani’s freezing night air and water, felt like a very long wait. Inside the room, cleanliness was an issue: my light-colored socks turned grey after walking around, suggesting the floors hadn't been properly cleaned. The wooden room door couldn’t close tightly, leaving a visible gap that compromised privacy. Meanwhile, the bathroom door lock was stiff and rusty, making it hard to use. Another note for light sleepers: several dogs in the area barked intermittently throughout the night until early morning. Personally, I wasn’t bothered by it, but it may disturb those who are sensitive to noise. While the stay was budget-friendly and met basic needs, improved cleanliness, better communication from staff, and minor maintenance fixes would go a long way in enhancing the overall experience.

Amazing location, great hotspring on site, very nice staff, good food. If you read people complain about flies being around a lot: Thats a Kintamani thing, not a Vulcano Living thing.

Bedsheets where freshly washed but looked old and used, didn’t smell so fresh

Everything was great, staff is super nice, very tasty food, clean and comfortable, but the best was hot pool with view on the lake. During colder evening the swimming in hot water was amazing! :)

Only thing what I didn't like were flies. So many of them, fortunately only during the day, for night they were gone. I know it's not fault of the accomodation but some fly traps would help.

Great hot spring pool

Road to Volcano Living needed repairing

The swimming pool is great and the banana pancakes for breakfast were AMAZING

Hot spring swimming pool was awesome. The views from pool and restaurant were beautiful. Walking distance to local warungs. Overall, you can't expect luxury for this price but the accommodation was basic and acceptable for 2 nights. Would not stay longer

The shower had very weak water pressure. Sheets were stained. Towels were thin. The neighbouring property was almost like a 'party house'. Both evenings there was loud music, loud talking, and there was also karaoke.

The value for money of Volcano living cannot be better. For such a price you have a decent breakfast, hot water swimming pool and lovely staff.

The bathroom could be refurbished, but it is functional and private
