"Pros: Absolutely gorgeous mountain views! The lofted setup (bed upstairs, sofa and bathroom downstairs) made you feel like you had your own private retreat in the mountains. The hotel shuttle is 100% necessary - the road to the hotel is very, very, very uneven and difficult to navigate. Only an experienced driver in a 4WD vehicle could do it. I found it easy to arrange for dropoff/pickup over WhatsApp. It was also helpful to have the Black Lava Camp restaurant close by (3 minutes on foot). Cons: Just something to keep in mind: it is quite isolated. While the views were gorgeous, I think it might have been a bit too secluded/remote for me as a solo traveler. Also, if you're going to hike Mt Batur, you'll have to work through their private guide. You'll be too far away from the meeting point for group tours to go with a group. Having a private guide turned out to be a good choice for me because I could go at my own pace, but it is more expensive than joining a group tour." ~Deborah

"Pros: The view was perfect Cons: No AC unit in the room it was to hot to sleep" ~Shakir

"Pros: The location overlooked the lava area, with a stunning view of the Lake and surrounding volcanoes. I camped alone with the tent open and felt completely safe and connected to the nature. Their dog, Lulu slept just outside which also made me feel very safe. The host, Komang Kariana was incredibly kind, patient and knowledgable. I arrived with no supplies or real plan for my stay and was helped with everything. I booked the hike, two private tours, ate a few times at the campsite itself and booked a shuttle to the my next location via the accomdation and found it to be great value for money. Cons: Nothing" ~Holly

"Pros: The hosts! They were so so so so so good. I loved staying here, like heaps. The hosts taught me so much about the area, and how special it is. I’m really grateful I stayed here instead of getting a ride from another city just to do the sunrise trek. The view from the room was insanely beautiful too." ~Sullivan
