Batur Bamboo Cabin by ecommerceloka

Not applicable.

More free space in the room.

Quiet location. Owner very kind and helpful.

I will recommend them to provide free access to drinking water to refill the water bottle since they make you pay for bottled water.

Quiet place. Good place for a rest before leaving with the jeep.

You could hear everything from the next cabin. Luckily they went to bed on time.

The bamboo cabins are pretty close to climb Mount Batur, which means you can start a bit less early than all the tourists making the day trip from Ubud or other locations. It means you can also make a longer walk to enjoy a bit more the views and being outside of the crowds. Our host proposed us several formulas and we were very happy with our certified guide Made who was very nice and eager to show us the area.

We booked this place to do Mt Batur hike and to check out Kintamani village. We got our first introduction to local hike mafia when we enquired about Mt Batur. We were hoping to do it un-guided, only to get intimidated by explicit use of violence if we dare go without the in-house guide, who also owns the place. A couple who had pre-booked a different guide were told to leave if they didn't use the in-house guide. They were made to leave. We almost wanted to give up and leave the place, wish we had done it. We caved in and hired the in-house guide. During the hike he made very in-appropriate comments about our female family members, suggesting them as a property. Further more the hike is very easy and one cannot get lost. There were literally 100s of people on the summit. Beer and everything under the sun was for sale up there. So much about it being a holy place and protecting it. Overall we had an amazing experience in Bali til we stayed at this specific place. We really wished we had cut our losses and left on the first day. By staying we feel guilty of helping perpetuate this mafia behavior.

It was a very nice stay. Simple arrangement yet comfortable (especially big comfy bed). Possible to get good food, order taxis, organise a trek to Batur volcano, hot springs. Basically right at the starting point for the trek to Batur. Nice people too!

we enjoyed our 1 night stay. Cabin is what you expect for the price - clean and comfortable though, hosts were nice, good food, offer tours and jeeps up Mt Batur. would stay again
