    The most beautiful hidden gem in Kintamani

    Where do I begin? This hidden little gem in Kintamani is the most precious place we have been to in a long time 🤍 The host family is wonderful, incredible kind, they offered us free rides to the hot springs, organised our tour to Mt. Batur with a great guide for a great price (lower than anything you will find online!), made sure everything was always sparkling clean. The rooms are small but very comfortable, the bedding is really high-quality! The bathroom is shared between the 3 rooms but you shouldn’t worry about this - it was cleaner than many private ones in other homestays. You can have breakfast until 11 am which is more than generous and since there are limited options around, you can also ask for dinner when you are hungry. We also loved being away from the touristy Kintamani - this was a much more real Bali vibe, being in the village. Definitely recommended! 🎉

    All good.

    Clean, well maintained, basic room without fan and AC, but well ventilated with a tall window. medium sized room fitting in just 2 beds, clean bedsheets. more bamboo hut style rooms coming up on the property. Coffee, pancakes for breakfast cooked by the lady of the house herself. unlimited water refill. towels, soap provided too. very helpful couple. Putu also drove us to Ubud in a AC comfortable 5 seater Toyota car , although it was just 2 of us, in private rental car at a cost. Oct stay, no rains.

    The bathroom is shared though it's mentioned as private on booking. It's clean and decent, and there is a nice shower with hot water, so for us it was not a problem, but better to know before :)

    The best place to stay in the area. We checked many places and this one was the most clean and cozy. Very comfortable bed and pillows, all sparkling clean and beautiful, delicious breakfast, good location and nice surroundings. And the family of the owners is very sweet, kind and caring.

    There are only shared facilities. One bathroom for 3 rooms. We were lucky to be staying there alone so we had no trouble using bathroom when needed but might get crowded if all rooms are occupied.

    Clean nice homestay Very friendly staff, received welcome coffee/tea with snack. Also location is 10 minutes drive by owner from start trekking tour for mt.Batur (wake up 3:30) so very good if you plan to do the trekking.

    The welcome we received and the kindness of the owners. The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed one night since we wanted to climb Mount Batur for sunrise. Gede took us to the trekking point and picked is up.

    Totally not the owners fault, but loads of flies in the area, be prepared for that. Also the jeeps that leave for the sunrise at 3 in the morning seem like they want to be as loud as possible... I feel sorry for the neighborhood

    A cozy little homestay with the sweetest owners! They arranged the whole sunrise hike on mt. Batur for us and they are just lovely. The room was not big but totally clean and comfortable. A shared bathroom which was also cleaned daily. Also good breakfast!

    If you are a sensitive person for noise, there are many jeeps nearby, making loud voices from night to early morning. It is better to bring earplugs.

    Very helpful and kind host. I had a stomachache , so the wife of the host made some food for me . I felt warm as a solo travel during the stay there.

    We appreciated the daily water bottle but would have prefered a more sustainable option like a water filler to refill out own water bottles and don’t contribute to Bali’s plastic trash problem.

    Great stay close to Batur, thanks to the wonderful owners! The rooms, breakfast and service was outstanding. The owners could fix very last minute a guide for the Batur hike and transport to Sanur. And Gede helped us moving around the area, since there is not much transport options if you cannot ride a scooter. We highly recommend staying at Demsara Desa, they will make sure you have the best time.

Informing if we need help with anything and offering us coffee, tea and home made fried banana and waters. Also the room, the sheets and bathroom were super clean as Putu was cleaning most of the times.

    Room is bit small but no problem for a few nights :)

    We stayed there two nights to hike up Batur and to relax the next day. Gede was a very nice host who was very helpful. He also organised us a guide for the Batur hike. Because his wife fell ill he prepared the breakfast for us and it was very delicious. Especially the banana pancakes which were the best we had in the last 3 months of our journey. The homestay is very clean and the bed very comfortable. There is no ac or fan in the room but you will not need it because it gets a bit cold in the night. A Warung is right across the street which serves delicious food.

    Everything! The most attentive, friendly, helpful host! the rooms and bathroom were kept clean always. From the minute we arrived Putu welcomed us, offered us drinks and brought us fried banana and fruits. The location is in a lovely local village ideal for Mount Batur trekking. Putu helped arrange our sunrise hike for us and a car to take us to our next destination the following day. We loved every minute:)
