Pinggan caldera

View

Hundreds of Dead flies in dining area On the floor and tables Dirty toilets Receptionist could not understand or speak a word of English Very noisy

Nyaman dgn pemangan gunung batur👍👍

Ya saya suka

Tepat di kamar yg saya dapat, itu berbau pesing Saran, sebaiknya di setiap kamar diberikan pengharum ruangan agar ruangan lebih wangi dan membuat suasananya lebih nyaman

The view

Water heater problem

Everything was perfect, so clean, the garden was beautiful and the view amazing

It was all perfect

Nice view

Very difficult to get there and it didn’t feel safe. Won’t recommend anyone to get there after dark.

La vue est magnifique, la piscine également, on y a bien mangé pour des prix tres raisonnables

C’est un peu bruyant la nuit (chiens, coq), et il y a pas mal de mouches avec les champs en contrebas

La vue est incroyable mais la quantité de mouches gâche l’endroit. Il faut impérativement faire le tour des crêtes du volcan en taxi pour des vues incroyables

La quantité de mouches est gênante. Le personnel très très limité en anglais est aussi un problème C’est presque nous qui avons fait le guide

Great views, lovely staff.

It took a while to get to the start of the hike.

Amazing location, view and staff. The food and drink at the hotel was lovely and the room was exactly what we needed for our stay. We had an incident on the way and the staff couldn’t have been better, they came to help us, picked us up and sorted us out without hesitation. Honestly don’t know what we would have done, cannot thank you all enough !

If you are going to this hotel yourselves do not follow google maps !! The route it takes you is extremely challenging and caused us to have an accident.

10 out of 10 experience. Amazing view, stuffs are above and beyond nice people. Food, accommodation was amazing too. Absolutely stunning place.

Incredible views!

Some flies during the day which can be a little disruptive whilst trying to relax.

Simple room with Amazing view , nice and clean room with verry helpfull staff Love this place verry much

Great location to see Mt Batur. Such a beautiful place giving you a stunning view of the mountains and the village. Considering the price, it is really great value for money. Beautiful room and outdoor bathroom. Limited choice of food, but with very low prices. My husband enjoyed the local morning market very much! We bought several bags of yummy mangosteen and mangoes at a very low price.

However, two things you must be aware of before going there: First is there're hundreds and thousands of flies during the daytime in the area. If you keep the door open, the flies will get into the room, and they die very soon after entering the room, leaving lots of deed bodies. If you shut the door, it will be really warm inside, as there is no air-conditioning or a fan. Second, make sure your driver knows which way is safer to get there. Otherwise, call the villa to ask.

Pinggan Caldera is rather remote and requires your own transportation to get there, but boasts beautiful views of Mount Batur and the surrounding area, especially early in the morning at sunrise. The rooms were decent and so was breakfast. If you have your own transportation and are willing to stay some distance from the town itself, this is a good option to consider.

Great location, friendly staff, good food. Quiet, spectacular views.

It’s a steep road down to the town

The privacy.

Nothing.

We really enjoyed staying here! The view and accommodation were amazing, the food was delicious and we definitely would recommend doing the mount batur hike. We booked the hike with the accomodation and we would recommend doing so. Our tour guide Suda was the best. One of the loveliest person we have ever met. Such a friendly and happy soul. He was really happy about the opportunity doing this job, so please support him. He taught us a lot about his culture as well which was interesting. And the views of the hike were amazing as well. We would definitely come back again.

The location is stunning, the views are spectacular & provided many magical moments watching the sunrise over the volcanoes whilst listening to the birds. The bungalows are simple but beautiful and we had all we needed. The staff were lovely and their cooking very tasty. The pool is a lovely feature with various seating areas to sit, listen and look at nature. We requested rooms next to each other which was arranged as we were travelling as a family. The location is also good to drive to explore around Lake Batur, Kintamani & Mount Batur. Spectacular place and would definitely stay again.

Watch out if driving to the property and following a Sat Nav. If the Sat Nav takes you down into the valley from Kintamani to get to the property & you don't have a 4 wheels drive - take an alternative route across the top. Our small car would not make it up the steep road at the final section when 5 mins away from property. We had to go back down into the valley (after a precarious few minutes and the help of locals), and take a different route which was another 40 mins! Saying that the drive through the valley past the lava edge was very dramatic & the villages growing veg were interesting. So worth a visit just not on route to property! Going across the top the property was easy to find & get to.

Very beautiful view and nice staff.

The shower in the bathroom is so weak that it takes a long time to take a shower. and guest check-in procedures need to be improved.

View was unreal, easy to get to mount Batur and the hotel can help with tours which take you to see the black lava as-well. This tour was relatively cheap aswell compared to prices on get your guide it was half price for a private keep tour, just make sure you bring a jacket because it’s freezing in the morning. The jeep tour is included int eh pictures.

Flies everywhere, cannot be help though due to surrounding farm lands. Hard to get away from the property, grab doesn’t work up there and the owner had to call us a taxi which was rather expensive compared to the prices on grab. However the taxi driver was beyond lovely.

The view was incredible and the room was comfortable. They were happy to make me some food whenever I asked. The nasi goreng ayam was very tasty.

You are far away from the lake and there isn't really anything to do within walking distance. Most people come to this area for Mount Batur though, so it's not like it's a problem anyway.

bed was comfy, and the room itself was okay. the linen was super soft. the views were very very nice in the morning of mount batur and the lake.

its in the middle of no where. no where near the main part of mount batur. the restaurant is a camping stove in a concrete shed with no selection and you wouldnt want to eat from there anyways. the door didnt lock correctly and once it did even we couldnt get in with the key, the external shower was dripping all night and attracted bugs that would make a strange noise. it felt like more of a glamping experience no food available in the surrounding area, not even a K mart for snacks. we couldnt get a taxi out of there via online apps so had to use the hotel owner however i feel we got ripped off for this taxi but it was essential we got out as i hadnt ate for over 24 hours. you are also unable to get a online taxi from the 'main town' nearby (we had to hitchhike)

We really enjoyed our stay. The view of the hotel was superb! It seems to be one of the most beautiful viewpoint in Kintamani.

The view, the food, the bed, the bathroom

Can be noisy at night because there's no insulation.

Organised the Mt Batur sunrise hike well, and it was amazing.

Nothing else to do in this area except for the hike. It is half way up a hill and roads are windy and narrow.

The view from the hotel is absolutely breathtaking. The room is small and cabin-like. The hotel has been newly opened. They were good with preparing a dinner and breakfast for us and the hotel managed to find us a car ride back.

The hotel is quite remote and not quite equipped for tourists that want to do early morning sunrise visits and have options for food. There is no English speaking staff. It's nearly impossible to find a taxi or other transportation options from the hotel. A few upgrades in services could make this one of the best options in Batur. We didn't regret our stay, but we didn't manage to get to the sunrise view in time, even though it was maybe a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk away.

The views are amazing, staff very friendly and helpful, food is good and great value. Owner very helpful and friendly. Rooms good bathrooms lovely.

Only thing i would have liked was a fridge.

The view is absolutely amazing. We chose this stay as an alternative way to experience the sunrise over the mountains, and it was great! There is nothing nearby and the road up there is steep and narrow, so you need a scooter or driver. We chose a driver. Besides the included breakfast, you can get delicious local food for lunch and dinner - the hotel staff makes it.

The cottages are not very sound proof, so we had difficulty sleeping because of dogs barking, loud music in the village and such. It gets really cold inside at night.

The view.

The hotel was in the middle of no where. It was insanely difficult to find transportation. The room was not sound proof and it is located right next to a busy road. We were perhaps unlucky but the other guests were loud late at night and early in the morning - they systematically woke us up. Don’t be afraid of bugs in general, including in the room.

the view is amazing, clean and very nice staff

it gets cold at night and there is no heater

Don't follow google's suggested fastest access. If you want to come here, it's better to take the road towards the Writing Temple because there are fewer sharp turns and steep descents. Because previously we were directed by Google through the fastest way but it turned out to be through a steep road and sharp turns. Standard room facilities, like not really cared for in detail. But the view is 10/10. While sleeping there was a cockroach on the blanket and we suddenly woke up at 3 am to get rid of the cockroaches. but it turned out to be a really fund experience but also could be very dangerous if you are not really skilled at driving vehicles

Great view, tasty food and comfortable room. The owner is very friendly and resourceful. He arranged a guide and driver for me which I was extremely happy with. I would love to stay here again in the future!

the view

The location, very far away

Amazing view of a mountain in Batur. Well-groomed territory. Soft bed linen.

Annoying flies, no shelves in the bathroom, no possibility to rent a moto scooter or similar. Despite the location being beautiful there is not much to do around.

Beautiful views. simple but practical rooms. Great food onsite.

Knowing that most clients come to climb Mt Batur very early in the morning, it would be nice for the staff to ask other guests to respect the noise level past a certain time.

Nice view on mount Batur and comfy rooms.

Very isolated, almost nothing around there. We ate there and both got stomach problems.

The room was clean, even the open roof bathroom. The food was very tasty here, we had here lunch and dinner. Bed is very comfortable. Pretty nice views to Mt. Batur

Flies are the only minus, but it's the nature, you can't rule it. wlWe recommend to buy antiinsect spray, if you have it, the problem is over :)

The most amazing view in Bali! Far away from everything, pro and cons.

Wonderful sunset view and location for Mt Batur hike Warm friiendly staff

Weak wifi. Understandable for the area

I had a great time with Ketut. The view is stunning and the recommendation to do the sunrise treckwith Suda was the highlight of my vacation on Bali. Many thanks! I will definately come back!

all good

We loved everything about Pinggan Caldera. The scenery was amazing, the rooms were comfortable and they had everything we needed, and the owners/staff were fantastic. The menu is basic but the food tasted amazing. Very tasty local food.

Nothing.

The view is just amazing. The sunrise, the sunset ...at any time of the day. The room was really nice and the bathroom is really cute

The swimming pool was not available. It was dirty and they started to clean it at 14 and was ready in the evening....and I was leaving the next morning so very disappointing. The WiFi didn't work for some hours due to an issue with electricity, the hot water just lasted 5min, and they food.was average. The place is difficult to get and isolated so don't expect to find restaurants. Not even a small market for groceries. They did not ask me if I wanted to do the trekking nor if I needed transportation, luckily I arranged my own transport with a driver.

This property is amazing. It has an awesome view of Mount Batur and Agung, with the village below. It is so peaceful and beautiful. The owner Ketut makes your stay effortless. He organised my sunrise trek and transport etc. It was so easy. I will definitely be back.

We stayed 2 nights for a birthday getaway. Location is perfect, with breathtaking view during sunrise. Two female staff was cooking us simple but delicious food during our stay. This is essential since there are no restaurants nearby. The bed is comfy, we like the outdoor bathroom. Simple property but it has everything we needed. We enjoyed our relaxing stay with chilly mountain weather at night.

The room gets hot during the day, we weren't out and about sightseeing, wanted to just stay at the property and relaxing after a busy week. So the staff provided us with a fan as soon as we asked. Perhaps would be good to put a fan on the ceiling for an option when it gets hot.

Spectacular views of Mt Batur & Lake Batur. Traditional style accommodation was comfy and spacious with a lovely open air bathroom. Ketut and family were excellent hosts. With only five bungalows it felt very personalised.

Loved the villas! Beautiful view! Friendly attentive staff! One of the best views in Bali, really recommend this place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of some of the busier parts of Bali. It’s a very quiet, and somewhat isolated place, but one of our favourite places we stayed. Plenty of excursions nearby such as atv’ing and hiking mount Batur. Just bring a car or bike and you’ll be fine. Highly recommend.

You need a bike or car, no doubt. There’s nothing in walking distance, and although the food was sufficient for us, some people might find the food and drink options too basic. It is quite isolated, which comes with its perks, but also it’s cons.

Fantastic view and exceptional hospitality!

The view

No storage

great and polite staff, very helpful, grear view of mount batur

The view from Pinggann Caldera absolutely stunning. You get a great view of Mt Batur right in front and Mt Agung in the distance. It is quite a drive to the accomodation, but it's worth it. Facilities are simple, but clean and all in great working order. Staff are friendly and accommodating, really great stay.

Nothing much, really. Don't expect great food, but it's definitely good enough.

The views are incredible and the staff were very kind.

There is nothing I didn’t like about this property. The only thing is it might be hard to get around if u don’t have a scooter or car and need to book a driver

it’s worth a trip!!! simple houses with basic interior, the owner is a fantastic young guy who is taking care about everything. build by himself and taken care like he would live there by himself !!! the view is breathtaking and it’s a location where we definitely coming back to

Staff was excellent I was accompanied by the guide named SUDA to trek mt batur , surely an down to earth guy and an excellent guide

All the services they have provided to us, the Place is magical

The position is a bit remote.. but it worth the route!

We had a fantastic stay at Pinggan Caldera. The view from this place is absolutely amazing. The place is fairly new and clean. The owner was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would highly recommend staying at this place for anyone visiting Kintamani Area!

The view from the garden is truly amazing, and it is so nice to enjoy directly from your room. The room makes you feel connected with the nature, and the bathroom has a open ceiling, which makes showet a bit chilly but either with blue sky during the day or thousands of stars at night! The bed is so comfy I slept like a baby. The staff is always available, welcoming your requests with the biggest smile! The hotel is 15 min walking from the village Pinggan, where you can chat with the locals! Perfect position for the sunrise hiking to Batur, they also provide a guide in case you have not arranged with someone else. Upon request, laundry is available too. If you need to check-out early, they prepare you take-away delicious breafast. 10/10
