Candra Homestay Besakih

Proximity to the temple & Agung volcano (The volcano was closed during my visit, check it online before you go). The bed was confortable, the hot shower was nice too.

Peaceful place

location

I booked a room, paid (!), came to the place and they said: sorry, someone else is living in your room. You could live in tent. What??? I drive 2,5 hours and now in hurry I have to find a new place for sleeping.

super friendly, attentive and welcoming host family - perfect location to visit mount Agung and Pura Besakih - for your tempel visit you can borrow sarongs for free - quiet and peaceful area - the spacious, clean wooden Chalet we were staying in was very cozy, equipped with a comfy bed, TV as well as speakers and offered two small terraces with a stunning view to Mount Agung on the one side and to the plain on the other side, the private bathroom including a shower (hot water) and toilet is located besides the chalet in an extra building - there is an outdoor kitchen with gas stove, so you could prepare your own meals (free water, coffee, tea, sugar and fruits) - beautiful surrounding garden with private temple, koi-carp pond and plenty seatings to enjoy the view and relax all in all we spent a great time at Candra homestay and I strongly recommend to stay here

the internet connection is poor inside the chalet as it is far from the wifi router, near the kitchen was good wifi speed - the brightness of the lamps in the bungalow is a bit low and the light is cool white

Beautiful green garden and cozy little huts; not too big not too small, just perfect. There is a shared kitchen with little snacks to buy. The hosts were very friendly!

There is not much to do besides hiking up Mt. Agung or just relax and enjoy the nature. There is one restaurant close by for the others you need to drive a bit further. IF YOU DO MT. AGUNG: the guys at the entrance try to scam you. Entrance costs 100 k for Tourists and 50 k for locals, the price is on the ticket, make sure you get one. And if you are used to the mountains, you don't need a guide, the path is easy to follow.

We stayed for 2 nights and rented 2 'cabins' and 1 wooden 'tent'. The tent had an outside bathroom and a toilet as did one cabin - the third had an ensuite bathroom, all with hot water. Small kitchen was handy for refilling the Aqua water and making coffee and tea (both provided), and a table with chairs for eating. The accommodation sits within a beautiful garden, clearly a result of the host's passion for flowers, trees and shrubs. A little pond full of koy carp who were keen to nibble our fingers, was a lovely feature. The rooms were comfortable and clean and as it's colder in Besakih than in the south, a fan was sufficient. The location is fantastic for exploring the temple complex. Lots of choice for food nearby and shops with souvenirs. The host was extremely kind, including lending us traditional Balinese blouses and sash. The temple guides and locals really appreciated us making an effort and dressing in a traditional way for the temple visit. Jana, Klara, Andy, Claire and Maya

Everything was good.

the location is great. 5 minutes from the greatest landmark

the lack of wifi is a major disadvantage. the 'tent' rooms are really too small for two persons. even one is going to have a 'tight' time. it can be recommended definitely only for one night stay.

Nice couple very kind and thoughtful. I felt at home.

They were amazing hosts. I recommend this homestay 100%. The views of the landscape are beautiful. If you want to go to Besakih temple is too close to there.
