Pondok Batur Indah Homestay Karangasem

Beautiful view of Mt Batur & the rice fields. Tranquil, peaceful. So nice to hear the birds & not traffic. I really enjoyed walking both routes (10 minutes & 30 minutes) to reach the homestay from the water palace. Lush nature all around, stunning. Gede & his family are very helpful &welcoming. My room was comfortable, spacious, immaculate with superb views. Each room has a terrace with sun lounge, table &chairs to take in the view. The gardens around the rooms are beautifully maintained, there's also a fish pond!

Nothing

It's located on the top of a jungle, with a beautiful garden and a great view! The water palace is only 10min talk through the jungle with a clear trail. And also you can hike into the rice terraces which is very picturesque and not touristy at all. (The owner gave me a simple map.) The room was simple, but comfortable. Had a great one night stay here. Also, the village in the area has a very nice feel, enjoyed the walk around it, too. You can also try Warung Damar on the other side of the rice terraces for lunch as they have an amazing view of the rice terraces.

As it is in the country side village, the service and the facility is not as sophisticated as that of Ubud, but it has the charm. It is totally fine for a budget accommodation. ;)

It's in a beautiful setting, with glorious views. It's a small, friendly, family-run place, not easy to get in and out of, but that's part of its charm. What is easy, as long as you're reasonably agile, is climbing down 92 steps through the rainforest to a tiny road/path that runs along the top of the rice paddies and the mountain range beyond them. Alternatively, turn left around the gorgeous Taman Air (Water Garden) and you find yourself in the centre of village. Also easy is just sitting on your balcony, maybe with a drink and/or book in hand, or maybe chatting with other guests, and gazing out over the terraced rice fields and forest to those grand mountains.

The dogs of Bali could be friendlier. The Balinese could dispose of their rubbish at home rather than dropping it wherever. The local government could fix up the broken road, and the wet walking track around the Taman Air.

The amazing view. The friendly staff always willing to help. The very good food and price/quality ratio. The homestay is super clean and lovely. Water palace is accessible by a direct secret path in the jungle with a just 10mins walk. The surrounding rice fields views along the road are breathtaking.

Some shampoo and hair dryer could be added. As in many places, +3% will be added if you pay for the room by card.

Great homestay close to the Tirta Gangga palace. We went there on foot (10min walk) early in the morning and had the palace almost for ourselves. The walk to the palace through the rice fields is also really nice. The view from the homestay is amazing and the owners are very friendly and forthcoming. Highly recommend this place!

breakfast good but could be more. Unbelievable beautiful view on nature and rice fields. Good restaurant.

water shower not really hot/warm/
