We enjoyed staying at the cottage! It was perfect to hike Mount Batur. The food is cooked from scratch and is delicious. The staff is very nice.

No maintenance noisy pumps

It's a good view of the Batu lake and that's all.
The building is more like a tent that hasn't been maintained. Then pumps start up 5 in the morning to water vegetables

Lake side views of Batur

The cabins have glass walls with a beautiful view across the lake. Close to Batur and the hot springs, not very much else to do in the area, but we went for these two activities. Helpful staff who could arrange taxis at a reasonable price, and good food in their own restaurant.

Baruna cottages were well equipped and the staff were very helpful and friendly. A nice breakfast was included in the costs and we were supplied with fresh fruit at each meal and encouraged to take whatever we needed. Very peaceful spot on the lakefront. Owner was also very helpful in finding a taxi and providing advice on the area.

Location was excellent and the staff could not have been warmer. We highly recommend the local grilled fish that the staff caught fresh every night, the trek up to the top of the volcano at sunrise was unforgettable and Trunyan village and cemetery. We also loved getting to know the family, their children and pets. I got to walk the dog every morning!

Sweet owners

The hotel owner and his family are very nice and accomadating. They even invited us out to their farm and gave us a bag of oranges. Our cottage was very basic but clean enough and the view of the lake was nice. We enjoyed being off the beaten path but it may be useful go rent a motorbike if you can so you don't have to continue to pay drivers.

Do not stay here!

This hotel is awful! There are thousands / millions of flies everywhere as it over looks a lake . In the morning everyone was covered with dead flies. You can't even have a shower as they cover the whole room . The owner was helpful and did refund us 50% as we had to leave because of the conditions .

Right on the banks of the lake...great location.

Great location, friendly staff...and rustic. It didn't feel like a formal hotel/rental place since we didn't get towels. I am sure everything was available if we bothered to ask.

Lovely family-run cottages

Putu was very attentive. We even had a choice of accommodation. The village is peaceful and tranquil on the edge of the lake. We met \"Ugly\" was was a funny character who is a very talented artist. The family who run this hotel are lovely. I especially loved the fact that this location is away from all the hawkers. A stroll along the road a sunset into the village felt completely safe. People waved and said hello.

This is not really a hotel but a small number of rooms around a shabby house. The rooms are very rudimentary. Chickens ran freely throughout, including the dining room, where one defecated on the floor. The owner was away and the young people apparently in charge spoke scant English. The room was not cleaned until we asked for this to de done. Hotels.com said there would be a c

We stayed there on New Year's Eve to be close to Mt. Batur for an early morning hike. The hotel staff were very friendly and the accommodation had a family feel to it.
I would stay there again.

Unglaublich schlecht

Extrem verschmutzt, Kakerlaken, Unmengen an Fliegen, heruntergekommene Substanz, der im Internet dargestellte Teil der Anlage wird anderwärtig benutzt

Hübsche Bungalows mit Traumblick auf See und Vulka

Wir hatten zwei unvergessliche Übernachtungen in Baruna Cottages. In absoluter ruhiger Lage genossen wir die Ruhe und die balinesische Gastfreundschaft.
Die Angestellten kümmerten sich rührend um uns und und ließen uns beim Kochen von Nasi Goreng über die Schulter schauen. Bei der anschließenden Paddeltour mit dem geschätzt 80 jährigen 'Boss' des Hauses auf dem See Batur konnten wir den Fischern bei ihrer Arbeit zuschauen und die Traumlandschaft um den See Batur und den Vulkan Batur genießen.
In solchen Momenten muß man über Kleinigkeiten bzgl der Sauberkeit in der Unterkunft hinwegsehen und diese unvergesslichen Momente einfach genießen.

Øv! Skøn beliggenhed, men ærgerlig oplevelse

Vi ankom og blev med det samme overfaldet med \"gode tilbud\" fra folk som udgav sig for at arbejde på stedet. Vi fik et godt førstehåndsindtryk af ejeren, men det ændrede sig hurtigt og det blev tydeligt for os at der i dette område ikke særlig mange turister der overnatter, og ejeren og diverse andre prøvede åbenlyst at få penge ud af os ved enhver lejlighed de havde. Ejeren glemte at hente os som aftalt, men ville efterfølgende ikle indrømme det. Ikke et sted vi vil tage hen igen eller anbefale til andre. Øv, for området er fantastisk og hotellet ligger meget smukt!

Don't go

I paied two nights, but staied one night and left. This is not a hotel, it is a farm with a couple of local houses. The staff didn't know what they were doing, slow and most of the time no response. The food is bad, too many flies. Away from town. No way to go shopping. The worst experience I have ever had in my thirty days trip in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Bali.
I suggest hotels.com terminate the contract with this hotel.

Traumhaft ruhige Lage direkt am Vulkansee

Dieses Hotel ist ein Familienbetrieb. Der Begriff \"Pension\" waere zutreffender als \"Hotel\".
Obwohl wir im August vor Ort waren, waren wir wohl die einzigen Gaeste.
Die Zimmer haben keine ueblichen Hotel-features wie Wasserkocher, Tee-/Kaffee, Fernseher.

A eviter - avoid it

At our arrival the staff had no proof of our reservation. They had not prepared the room and didnt know if we had paied for it already. But we got agressed by them as they wanted to sell us the mont batur ride with their guide. And them try to make us reserved for the restaurant at night. A guy who seemed to be a friend of them showed us its painting trying to sell it. It was the worst experience ever.

mont batur

nous avions reservé un bungalow pour 4 personnes mais il n'y avait qu'un lit deux personnes. il nous a été proposé de mettre des petits matelas par terre dans une chambre déjà très petite ou de payer pour reserver une chambre supplémentaire. il fait froid sur ce site. hotel éloigné du centre. mais vue sur le lac superbe.

Schöne Lage direkt am See.

Top Ausgangslage für eine Tour auf den Mount Batur. Schöner Balkon mit Blick auf den See.
