Batur Volcano Basecamp

A big shoutout to the staff! We had an incident where we had to go to the doctor and they really helped us out a lot. They even drove us to the doctors office.

Staff .

It's not called Batur Volcano base camp and it isn't as stated on the map , very hard to find , had to be picked up and taken to the right address and hotel , all else was good . Beautiful scenery across the lake.

Super friendly and helpful stuff!! Hot water pool and comfortable room! Perfect choice if you would like to do Batur hiking from there .

This property listed in the web using 2names. Googlemap works well showed direction to Villa Dangka. Modern room with kettle, tea and some selection of coffee. No AC but mounted fan is provided.Bathroom is clean. Pool with natural hot spring was such a  bless after sunrise trekking to Batur volcano. The terrace is spacious with 3 big chairs, but can't sit too long coz of too many flies.

Food price in resto is expensive (for such quality). 40k for fried noodle but they also sold "menu of today" like fried rice only 20k. The restaurant (also used as receptionist of villa) provided fishy info about trekking package. She said 1.2mio/person due to safety insurance from local community. She instroduced me to pak Mangku (Mowgli travel) who gave us 400k for trekking+ simple breakfast (bread, banana, boiled egg) on the top of volcano. It seems there are various route to the top. I didn't see the guide pay ticket entrace fee. So, not so sure if 400k is "normal price". Villa Dangka only gave fried rice/noodle/pancake for breakfast (no tea /coffee). Couldn't take a rest well coz the neighbour house arrange wedding event and the music /karaoke so loud til 2AM!!!

Nice host!

The host and personal are really friendly and will help you out with what ever you might need. E.g. the location is a bit far away from restaurants, so the host will help you and drive you to a restaurant nearby. The place has a great view of the mountains and the lake. There is even two hot spas that will be ready for whenever you want. The place has great value for money!

Be aware that there is many flies because of the many vegetable farms nearby. Also, at the point of our visit, there were details in the room that could be better, i.a. unconnected sink and towel hangers in the bathroom.

Fantastic view, lovely hot tubs. The garden is beautiful

The bathroom was not nice. The flush of the toilet did not work, the sink did not work. The light was flickered slightly, when turned off at night.
