Desa Oculus

The beds were very comfortable, the view was spectacular, the food amazing. It’s a 10 min drive to Batur, so it’s perfectly located.

The traffic noise is loud so I suggest you wear earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise.

Was hat Ihnen an der Unterkunft gefallen? Das Personal war während meines gesamten Aufenthalts aussergewöhnlich freundlich, herzlich und hilfsbereit. Die Küche war ebenfalls sehr gut und das Essen hat mir gut geschmeckt. Die Zimmer waren sauber und die gesamte Anlage war gepflegt.

Was hat Ihnen an der Unterkunft nicht gefallen? Der grosse Minuspunkt ist der extreme Verkehrslärm. Obwohl Fenster und Türen geschlossen sind, hat man im Zimmer das Gefühl, direkt neben einer Hauptstrasse zu schlafen. Nur einen Steinwurf entfernt befindet sich eine Strasse, auf der Tag und Nacht schwere Lastwagen von einem Kieswerk verkehren. Die Lastwagen fahren im tiefen Gang mit hoher Drehzahl den Berg hinauf, wodurch der Lärm praktisch ununterbrochen und auch während der Nacht sehr störend ist. Erholsamer Schlaf ist kaum möglich. Für den verlangten Preis ist diese Lage aus meiner Sicht absolut nicht akzeptabel.

Views are absolutely breathtaking, you get direct views of Mt Batur, Lake Batur and Mt Agung. You also get to see the mountain clouds flowing between mountains. Rooftop pool gets warm with the sun and has amazing view of the mountains. Dining areas are also beautiful. Staff were friendly and always available for help. They provided us wine, cake and room decor for our anniversary. The welcome drink was delicious and unique.

Noise from trucks on nearby road (not ideal for people looking for absolute quiet and peace). Also not many vegetarian/vegan options.

Huone oli tilava ja siisti sekä hieno näköala.

Everything was very clean and well maintained. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and always available when needed. We rented a scooter directly through the hotel, which was very convenient. The view from the room was absolutely spectacular and one of the highlights of our stay. We especially loved the large bathtub, which was spacious and perfect for relaxing while enjoying the scenery. The included breakfast was excellent, with generous portions and plenty of options. The restaurant was very nice, and the pool area was also great. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.

The only thing that may not suit everyone is the bathroom layout. The toilet is located inside the room with very limited privacy, so couples should be aware of this before booking. However, this seems to be part of the room design rather than a problem with the hotel itself.

Amazing view from the room and it was a nice break away from the city. Breakfast was delicious, as well as dinner since we ate at Desa Oculus eatery.

None - only challenge initially was making booking directly through the Desa Oculus website but payment just wouldn't go through and had to book via booking.com which was 1,000,000 rupiah more.

Very clean and had exceptional views

It was just off a busy road so it was quite noisy especially around 3/4am as jeeps were heading to the mountain for sunrise. Checking in was a little odd too I went to main reception and the lady there told me someone would be at the villa and when I went back up there no one was there. I waited maybe 15mins for someone to come, as a solo female traveller I found this a little daunting. The main hotel pool and staff were stunning. The guy who checked me out carried all my bags and stayed with them while I went to main pool area which was very nice.

**Google Review** I highly recommend staying at Desa Oculus. The staff is fantastic, highly attentive, and available 24/7. A special thank you to Kak Widianti, who took the time to show us all the best spots around the property. The food is exceptional. Everything is freshly made and delicious, and the on-site restaurant stays open late into the night. This is incredibly convenient, as there is no need to order food from outside. We booked the afternoon tea with a beautiful view of Mount Batur, which was perfect. We also enjoyed a floating breakfast at the infinity pool around 11:00 AM; the weather was wonderful and completely comfortable, not hot at all. We stayed in a corner room with a mountain view, and the experience was flawless. The room was spotless with absolutely no bugs. The amenities were fully stocked and smelled wonderful, especially the soap. The bed was huge and soft, making for a perfect night's sleep. Overall, this was an incredible stay, and I cannot recommend it enough!
