    The flies? Well, we were warned by all the reviews and it was not really that bad. We could still enjoy being outside, no problem. It maybe depends on the period of the visit. Still, you cannot escape the flies in this area, so it holds for all hotels.

    We stayed in the deluxe family suite, which was very large, comfortable and nicely decorated. It also has it's own Hottub. Edy helped us booking a guide for the sunrise vulcano tour. He is quick with his answers via the Booking-app or WhatsApp. Thanks Edy.

    This is by far one of the nicest places I've ever stayed for the price range. The hot pool was amazing, the room and grounds were gorgeous, the staff was exceptional and helpful. I have rheumatoid arthritis and my hands swelled up while I was there along with my knee, they brought me ice. They drove me around and helped me literally walk. I felt so safe and comforted while I was there! THE BED AND SHEETS WERE AMAZING, FELT LIKE IWAS SLEEPING ON A CLOUD!

    I thought u had booked a room with private pool but I hadn’t!!! Think need to make it clearer when booking that not all the rooms have a private pool

    Very clean. Hot springs pool was beautiful.

    There are a lot of flies in the entire area which can be annoying but it's not unmanageable, and certainly not a "swarm" like other reviews have claimed.

    Would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the area. The rooms are done to an excellent standard, and the hot spring pools are great. All the staff were super helpful and friendly and Eddy helped us organise our whole stay, including a jeep tour with his son which was very good. There are plenty of places to eat within 5 mins walk and the breakfast is tasty for 60K.

    The whole stay was excellent. Eddy and his team were superb, and the morning breakfast was simple yet fantastic. I loved having my own private hot spring with incredible views of the caldera walls. I also highly recommend the sunrise tour up Mt Batur. Eddy will organise everything for you if you ask him.

    Stayed here to hike up Mt Batur. We underestimated our fitness level for the hike.

    Lovely villas and beautifully manicured garden It’s so nice to enjoy hot springs in cold weather and to watch the sunrise over the mountain from. There’s a cafe and 3 convenience stores as well as some local warungs just outside the property which made it the perfect location. All around the area in Kintamani has flies, but it didn’t feel as much at Lava Bali Villa Pak Edy was so helpful to make this such a lovely stay

    The road to the villa is very narrow, even though it is very close to the highway. The parking lot is also very small.

    The room is simple yet very cozy and clean. The staff is really nice. The hot spring was warm. We would love to come back again when there's a trail event. There's a pantry, dispenser, stove, and dining area we can use freely for cooking since there's no restaurant or food delivery around the villa.

    This has nothing to do with the hotel itself which was perfect, but overall there’s not much to do in this area and its very difficult to find a taxi to explore so I would not particularly recommend staying there overnight. Would rather recommend staying in Ubud and doing a day trip to mount Batur.

    VERY nice hotel : hot springs pool, personal jacuzzi in front of the room (the hot water is so nice because it gets chilly at night!!), the room is very nicely decorated, huge bed very confortable, calm, good location.

    The flies 😅 but at night not so active. More in the day time.

    Villas were clean and the overall ambience is fantastic. Lovely cool weather. Nice soak in the hot spring pool. Very private. Edy was very helpful throughout our stay. He assisted us with transport to the villa, our sunrise jeep tour and also chauffeured us to dinner at Kintamani. Enjoyed our relaxing stay very much

    The only bad thing are the black flies. So so so many 😕

    Komang is a wonderful host and guide! He is very friendly and responsive and we asked him to be our guide up Mt Batur, it was perfect! He found us a quiet spot away from the crowds and gave us a nice breakfast for a very fair price! The rooms on the property are very clean and spacious, we loved it!

    Communication was difficult because staff did not speak English The breakfast we paid for at the villa was not good - some tasteless bread, a little bit of fruit, bad instant coffee. When we went to enjoy the pool, thee were 4 people in it that were not guests of the villa which was a bit odd. The flies made it impossible to stay outside (not the hotel's fault)

    The rooms were nice and comfortable The hot spring pool was great Good-sized bathrooms

    From the location to the town, to the hot spring, to it's management and the services they arranged for us during the stay everything was spot on. Just note nearby resturants close by 9ish, some by 10ish, so must be prepared. The owner was super sweet, he dropped us back to Ubud, because all taxis were unavailable due to the local festival. We loved his recommendations on the nearby temples and the route taken. He also arranged a lava site jeep adventure for us with a beautiful sunrise experience. He also took us to a coffee plantation nearby. We loved the vibe of this place, such a relaxing getaway.

    Only complaint is more for the general area; the black flies are INTENSE. It’s a constant SWARM of them, not sure of that can be mitigated at all.

    Spectacular new property in the Mt. Batur area. It was spotlessly clean, and the layout was very comfortable. The onsite geothermal powered hot tub was a particularly nice feature. Spent a lot of time in it! The property manager was very communicative, and helpful in arranging excursions and rides. Would absolutely stay again!
