There was nothing to complain about.

We’ve loved to be in the nature and feel the real atmosphere of traditional Bali. Dian, the manager of the hotel, did everything to make us feel like at home. The staff were very friendly and also took care of my children when needed. The food was very tasty and we’ve enjoyed all of our meals we’ve tried.

Nothing not to like, although there are some steep steps at the rear of the property to get to the Waterfall below, although if you are fit and able, this should not be a problem for most.

We loved the peace and tranquillity of the area and the privacy of the villas on the property. The walking tracks close by are great to get amongst the food forest and meanderings by the rice fields. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful grounds and villas, friendly and attentive staff, excellent food and service with staff going over and above to meet our every need. Highly recommend this accommodation.

All perfect!

This secluded property is an absolute gem - the rice paddy field view is unforgettable, the villas comfortable and the staff are lovely. We also loved the fact that it is run by a local family that also looks after the paddies you are surrounded by. The walks (marked trails by Clove Tree Hill!) around the property are stunning: Bali like it was 25 years ago without the tourists, touts and parties.

In general, the food is improvable. The lassies and fruit juices are very good. For breakfast, fruit platter and the black rice as well as the poached eggs are good. It’s a bit sad that you can only chose one item per category only (especially fruit platter or juice). The pancakes are a bit to heavy. For lunch and dinner, a wide variety is offered. Tomato soup and Indonesian chicken soup are good. Tuna and fried rice, we had much better ones during our travel. Everything on the menu is quite expensive compared to the rest of Bali. Although we understand, it’s a remote area and you need to bring everything there. If you stay longer, you might consider that there is no alternative for lunch and dinner. To sum it up: although the food was not the best we had during our Bali trip, that doesn’t impact the experience in Clove Tree Hill.

Clove Tree Hill is truly a precious place and an oasis to relax and unwind in between the rice fields. The villas have a great architecture and everything you need, the view is fantastic and everything is spotless clean. We took a walk along the rice fields and farming with Bram, which was a nice experience. He explained a lot about all the plants in the forest and the rice farming. The entire staff is super friendly. Our driver Alit was also super nice and acclaimed a lot about the rice and the Balinese culture.

Getting there by own car can be tricky, checking with host is recommended (Google might get you ending up on jungle trails)

Fantastic location, great hosts, nice tours, tasty food all just fine.

Nothing we didn’t like!

Everything was so beautiful and private. Breathtaking views, gorgeous room, delicious food and scenic walks around the area.

We do not have a single complaint!

The location- spectacular views, peaceful surrounds and gorgeous bungalows. The place is clean, lush and tranquil. Did I mention the VIEWS! The food-delicious, fresh and satisfying (we ate all the Balinese dishes). The activities available- unforgettable. The staff-exceptional, kind and so generous with their time. Also all the free-lance drivers, guides and massage therapists they use were so knowledgeable, reliable and skilled. Special shout-out to Dian and Bram for making us feel so welcome in their beautiful Clove tree hill family. This family run business IS the point of difference anyone should be looking for in exceptional accommodation.

I'd never been to Bali before, So i didn't understand how far out we were going. It was quite the drive out from Ubud. But, we are from the beach, so we wanted to explore deep inland, and thats what we did!

We loved the little houses and the cool under house bed bit. Loved the walk down to the waterfall, and the pool was great. I loved how the garden was like a magical little exploration. Really developed gardens.

Nothing... only wifi could be better...

Very attentive and friendly staff. Great facilities. Wonderful and breathtaking setting. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Absolutly magical. Waterfall very close. Would have liked to stay much longer without doubt. Will return if possible...

We decided to start our holidays in Bali with 2 nights at Clove Tree Hill and it couldn't have been a better choice. I have only good comments about our stay.. The location is far from the crowed touristic places, you really feel to discover the real Bali. The place is amazing, surrounded with rice field and a sea view on the background. The bungalows/rooms are very comfortable and clean. It is very private and you cannot see other bungalows from your balcony. The staff is so friendly, helpful and professional. The food was amazing. We also really enjoyed the trekking. it is very easy to orientate with all color signage along the way. The kids also very liked fishing in the rice fields. Thank you so much Bram and the team. we will definitely visit you again.

All the staff is really very nice. The hotel is small, and you can feel at home. The 'villas' are great, very clean. The swimming pool is a real paradise (the water is just cool as you like it, just great!) The meals are delicious. You will want to stay there all the time!

Nothing. This is my paradise!

This is my third time visiting Clove Tree Hill and will definitely not be my last. As it's been three years since my last visit, the gradens have grown so much and you really do feel like you're in a tropical rainforest. The Timpu Sampi waterfall is it's usually gorgeous self now with better stairs and path leading to it, and while we there nearly an hour, there not a single other person there. Bliss! The food is carefully and beautifully prepared - my new favourite is the tomato burschetta - definitely worth trying! The villas are exactly as I recall - beautifully designed and perfectly positioned over the rice fields.

Nothing, everything was great.

Very quiet location not too far from airport, set amongst the hills with views over the rice paddies and down to the ocean which are incredible from the villa and the restaurant. Dian was a wonderful, proactive communicator and the ability to pre-order for lunch and dinner was awesome, which meant we had plenty of time to obsess over the amazing food options. The accommodation and all facilities were meticulously maintained. All staff were genuinely helpful, friendly and kind. Villa was serviced during breakfast which meant that there was no interruption. We had a guided walk (the green walk), which was fun and informative. We had Bram as our driver for pick up and to our next stay and he was a safe and comfortable driver. We stayed 3 nights and wish we had stayed twice as long with more to explore around the property and more to try on the brilliant menu.

Clove Tree Hill will absolutely be one of our memorable stay, spectacular view from the villa, the whole site is so well managed and clean, staff are very helpful and cheerful, food are nice too! The driver arranged for us is so professional and kind, we tried to visit a place called Bababan Crystal Water, it’s obviously not a promoted tourist spot and not easy to find during Bali new year period. Our driver always put on a smile and keen to ask people on the way and finally he asked the owner of the shop who’s on the way back from temple ceremony and we’ve a wonderful floating experience along the river while enjoying the beautiful rice paddies around us.

The international food was okay - not great. The Indonesian food was really good.

This place is SO beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking for a little escape, stay here!! We loved our stay, doing yoga and going on walks everyday (highly recommend the longer one, along the rice fields). The massages were lovely as well. Lastly, the people were incredibly nice.

None.

You feel very welcomed here and the place is very well taken care of! There is a wide selection of food and beverages to choose from for lunch and dinner and we love the serenity of our villa. Wonderful service and great surroundings! If you are looking for digital detox, this might be the place for you as the internet here is not too fast. This deters you from looking too frequently up different things on the internet. Bring a couple of good books and a pair of good walking shoes and that’s all you will need around here!

We liked everything.

Amazing friendly staff. Diane and Bram together with the crew really tailor all your needs. Very family friendly as well since we travelled with a little one. No request is too much. The food was amazing as well as were the activities you can do there. Despite being forced to close due to the pandemic they have kept the lodge in an amazing state. Very highly recommended.

Well, even though I found the stay correct, I really would like to give some key improvements that would make stay even better: staff need to understand and speak better English because sometimes it was very hard to communicate… I did not enjoy at all the food over there… I think it should really be improved as the location does not allow us to eat elsewhere since it is a remote hotel. Also, we kinda sometimes felt alone, I really thought we would have a hotel staff close to us to share some Balinese traditions or stories, we were also the only hotel residents which did not disturbed us. But I only felt having interaction with the hotel when it was to go eat nothing more. Still I was happy that the hotel provided activities even if they were paid activities. I think it would be good to improve this link with customers. Also I think people should know that this hotel is really nature remote hotel so it means living with all kinds of insects that can sometimes terrify us, but I thank Dian for her reactivity when we have issues related to insects (rooms were cleaned so it is not because of this).

I really loved the rice field terrace view of the hotel ! From our rooms and restaurant ! It was best relaxing 😎 ! Plus we could see many roosters eating near the rice fields and workers who were harvesting the rice ! It was magical !
