Clove Tree Hill

Prachtige ligging midden tussen de rijstvelden en de jungle.We hebben prachtige wandelingen gemaakt. Heerlijk gegeten en zeer vriendelijk personeel

Le calme et la beauté des lieux, l’accueil simple et chaleureux du personnel, le massage dans la forêt à proximité d’une cascade.

RAS

Un lieu plaisibe, dans un écrin de verdure ! Tout était parfait. Le personnel est très compétent et adorable.

We loved everything about our stay at Clove Tree Hill. The property is a hidden gem in the hills of Bali…. completely removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hot spots. Everything about this place is absolutely divine. We are a family of 3 and we stayed in Villa Manggis, which has magnificent views of terraced rice fields and surrounding jungle. Walking around the property, there are stunning views at every turn. There are squirrels in the trees, beautiful native birds and the jungle chickens kept us very amused. As the sun goes down, you hear frogs, crickets and other insects singing, it’s just fantastic! We were looked after so well by Dian and the other staff. The food is delicious and lots to choose from. There is also a waterfall on the property. It was incredible having this all to ourselves to swim in. We had a massage in the open air spa hut… I will remember this massage with the sound of the waterfall behind us for the rest of my life. In fact, we will remember our stay at Clove Tree Hill forever. Absolute perfection! If you want to experience the beauty and peace of the real Bali, away from the tourist crowds, you will not be disappointed.

De magische plek en het uitzicht

Loved the quiet location, beautiful views. Gardens are amazing and each bungalow is very private.

Limited in where you can eat since there’s not much around. We didn’t mind it anyway!

Petit Hôtel, du bout du monde, au milieu de la nature, seulement cinq bungalows dans un milieu exceptionnel

Le seul petit bémol, c’est la route pour y arriver qui est un peu difficile. Nous l’avons fait en scooter et ce n’est pas évident si on ne maîtrise pas la conduite d’un deux roues.

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel, de omgeving, de ligging van de woning Nangha en de prachtige tuin en de massages.

Het ontbijt was summier en te weinig, zeker als je een actieve wandelaar bent, dan is een goed ontbijt essentieel.

- I love the back-to-nature concept and how immersive it is. Just be aware that you’re essentially surrounded by jungle, so if you’re not comfortable with occasional visits from critters, especially around the balcony and bathroom, this might not be the place for you. They don't really enter the bedroom area though, so don't worry. - It’s a great staycation spot if you want to relax, slow down, and enjoy nature from your bungalow, while still having the option to go outdoors. They have two trekking paths you can follow either on your own or with a guide. I only walked the Green Line by myself, which is the shorter route through the surrounding village, jungle, and coffee plantation. - Communication is mostly done through WhatsApp, whether for food orders or anything else you need. Bu Dian was very responsive. The staff I interacted with were all women, which somehow made me feel safer during my solo stay, though I think there are also male helpers for gardening and other outdoor work. - Overall, it has a gorgeous view and a very relaxing atmosphere. A lovely place to get away from city noise and spend time surrounded by nature.

- The main downside for me (and surprisingly) the biggest issue, was the lack of bidet. Since this is Indonesia, I was genuinely surprised that some properties in Bali still use a more Western-style bathroom setup without one. I understand they probably want to keep the bathroom area as dry as possible, but hygiene is very important to me. As someone who is used to washing with water, especially as a woman on my cycle, relying on tissue alone just doesn’t feel clean or practical. I hope the property owner or manager takes this into consideration. Tissue alone may be acceptable for some guests, but for those of us who are used to washing with water, the lack of a bidet becomes a real hygiene concern especially during certain times for women when proper cleaning is even more important. Having to walk over to the shower or get up to reach the sink every time water is needed for basic bathroom hygiene feels inconvenient and uncomfortable. - The location is quite remote, so unless you bring your own car and are willing to drive out for food, your main option is ordering from the property’s restaurant. The food is on the pricier side, though that is somewhat expected considering the location. Pretty good food overall, with a nice mix of local and international selections. You can check their website as they provide the full menu and information on activities available both at the property and around the area.

Prachtige natuur en super vriendelijke mensen. Mooie huisjes

Words can hardly express how deeply grateful I am to have experienced Clove Tree Hill. From the very first moment, Dian and her husband welcomed me with such warmth and genuine kindness that I instantly felt at home. There is something rare about this place, not just a resort, but a space filled with heart. The villa itself was a dream: beautifully designed, fully equipped, and with an open-air bathroom that made every moment feel connected to nature. One of the most special parts of my stay was meeting the owner. Such a kind and grounded soul, it was a true joy to speak with him about yoga and life. My personal highlight was the rainforest walk. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the surrounding nature, and at the end even gifted me fresh fruit, a small gesture that meant so much. Thank you for everything. I leave with a full heart and one simple reminder I will carry with me: always follow your dreams. If you are even slightly considering visiting Clove Tree Hill !do it. You won’t just have a stay, you will experience a level of warmth and authenticity that is truly unforgettable.

De villa's hebben een schitterend uitzicht op het tropische bos en de rijstvelden. De omgeving is heel geschikt om te wandelen. De eigenares is heel betrokken en regelde voor ons het vervoer naar en van het hotel. Het avondeten was heerlijk. Tip: de groentensoep.

Niets.

Прекрасное видовое расположение . Хороший номер, чистое белье, хорошая уборка в номере. Замечательное обслуживание. Рекомендую

Нет такого

L’emplacement est fabuleux dans la forêt et les rizières. Endroit calme et paisible. Villa magnifique, très propre et très bien équipée. Nourriture variée et de bonne qualité. Le personnel est souriant et agréable. Très bonne prestation de massage. Des balades en forêt accessible à tous les niveaux autour de l’établissement.

La situation géographique de l’établissement est éloignée et nécessite des déplacements en taxi assez long.

The view is exceptional!!! As well as the proximity of the walks and the waterfall.

Maybe some balinese music during breakfast would add a relaxing touch ):

L hôtel est située dans une zone encore très préservée du tourisme de masse et des déchets . La végétation entourant les villas est tout simplement magnifique ( superbes fleurs) accompagnée de chants d oiseaux et de geckos, ainsi que la petite cascade non loin de la . Nous avons également très bien mangé et eu un magnifique massage . Une étape qu il faut aller chercher car un peu isolée . Nous avons fait une balade très sympa de l hôtel pour découvrir les bananiers , arbres à café et à cacao.

Clove Tree Hill was in an absolute stunning location, overlooking rice terraces and a surrounding forest. It was very peaceful with the sounds of nature all around you. The individual bungalows were beautiful. We stayed in "Manggis", and we loved everything about it, from the design to the main deck, where I enjoyed having a coffee and watching sunrise every morning (see attached photo of sunrise from the Manggis bungalow. We stayed for 10 days and could have easily stayed longer. Dian, and Bram were great hosts - strong communication skills, never had to worry about a request, it was always done, whether it was organizing a driver, a tour, or renting a scooter. The staff were all very nice, and a great selection of Indonesian/Balinese and Western food. If you are into nightlife and parties, perhaps Clove Tree Hill is not for you. If you enjoy a beautiful property, spa, swimming pool, exploring nearby waterfalls, rice terraces, and getting out and seeing authentic Balinese life, than I can't think of a better place. We would definitely come back if we return to Bali. Thank you again, Dian, Bram and Bert.

Having to leave!

Un endroit magique ! Venez redecouvrir le vrai Bali, loin du bruit, loin des touristes, loin de la pollution . Pour la premiere fois nous avons retrouvé des cours d eau sans plastiques !! La nourriture est excellente et Mrs Dyan manager en charge de la gestion de cette perle est absolument fantastique ! Son efficacité empreinte de gentillesse est absolument fantastique. Enfin la piscine est de taille tout à fait convenable et très agréable, ainsi que le jardin superbement entretenu et superbement fleuri !

Zeer mooie kamer met leuk terras. Lekker eten.

Magnifique petit hotel ( 6 villa bungalo) en plein coeur de la montagne balinaise, au milieu des rizières. L'endroit respire la sérénité. Tout le personnel est aux petits soins pour nous faire passer 1 agréable moment. La nourriture proposée est variée et de très bonne qualité. Les prix sont très très raisonnables pour nous , belges. Le trajet pour accéder à l'hotel constitue 1 excursion en lui-même! Il est possible d'aller se promener jusqu'à 1 cascade oû l'on peut nager, top! L'hotel propose plusieurs chemins de randonnées, de 1 à +-3h. Les massages proposés étaient parfaits et très qualitatifs pour le petit prix. Je conseille de demander à l'hôtel le service taxi depuis l'aéroport ou ailleurs dans Bali, car ils sont habitués aux petits chemins sinueux et pentus. Nous y avons passé 2 nuits avec mon mari et nos enfants 4 jeunes adultes, tous avons adorés cette expérience.

Rien, tout était parfait

La zona es espectacular!! La verdadera Bali. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y comodas. Los jardines son de pelicula. Las chicas son simpaticas y muy amables. Recorre sus alrededores en moto,es una selva.😍😍

De rust, de omgeving en de staf maakte ons verblijf een onvergetelijke ervaring. Mooie kamers gelegen in een goed onderhouden tuin.

Emplacement fabuleux! très calme dans cette folie qu'est devenu Bali. Promenade autour de l'hôtel dans un environnement authentique.

Le rapport coût/qualité des repas n'est pas bon. Cuisine très moyenne. Un petit déjeuner frugal pour lequel il fallait demander toast supplémentaire....Une restauration pas au niveau de l'établissement

Lovely retreat in the hills of Bali. Away from frantic traffic. Nothing to do but relax and walk along scenic rice paddies, very photogenic area.

Peaceful and so beautiful. The staff was very nice. A very big thank to Bram, Dian and their team ! The food was good and fresh. Nice walk to the waterfall (5 min). We would have liked to stay more time but we had booked the next hotel

Nothing, it was perfect

Wat een verblijf! De rust, de gastvrijheid en de prachtige ligging waren onvergetelijk. Het team stond altijd klaar – niets was te veel gevraagd. En het eten… eigenlijk te veel lekkers om op te noemen. Als je wilt overnachten midden in de rijstvelden, ver weg van het massatoerisme: niet twijfelen, gewoon boeken!

Minpuntjes? Tja… als je er hier nog één weet te vinden, kun je beter thuisblijven, want ik zou het écht niet weten. Misschien da de vogels te vrolijk zongen? Haha

Lieu perdu dans la jungle, c’est incroyable. Paysage magnifique entre rizières et jungle. Le jardin et les allées sont superbes. Se réveiller à 07h et profiter du lever du soleil. Magiques. Le personnel est disponible et toujours des solutions. Super appréciables

Ajouter un système de formulaire web/ site pour la sélection des repas, ça serai plus simple. C’est un plus. Whatsapp fait déjà le travail cela dit.

Het uitzicht op de rijstvelden Prachtige bungalows in een fantastische tuin Rust Vriendelijke medewerkers die echt hun best voor je doen Uitgebreide kaart met Europees en Indonesisch eten Super schoon, ook de badkamers (met regendouche!)

Hier moest ik heel lang over nadenken. Als je snel verveeld bent, zijn een of twee dagen verblijf waarschijnlijk genoeg, want er is niets in de buurt. In onze groep waren er ook mensen die hier juist om die reden wel makkelijk een week hadden willen verblijven. Wij waren er vier nachten, een mooi gemiddelde. De klamboe was prachtig, maar een ronde is een beetje onhandig omdat die minder goed om het bed past dan een vierkante. Maar dat is echt een detail. In de toekomst zal het hier wel wat drukker worden met toeristen, want er wordt flink gebouwd in de omgeving. Geniet nu dus van de afgelegen locatie. Eet gerust een hapje in de warung in het dorp, als je daar tijdens een wandeling langs komt. Laat je ophalen door de accommodatie: de weg erheen is smal, steil en soms niet al te best.

Four of the five villas have fabulous views looking south over the paddy fields and to the sea. Beautiful garden with lots of flora and fauna. Restaurant has a good variety of food at reasonable prices. Good walks (long and short) for those who don't mind some steep slopes and steps. Only 10 to 15 minute walk to a nice waterfall.

Not much to dislike, but if I was being picky I would have liked comfortable easy chairs in the villas rather than bench seats and upright chairs at the table.

Very beautiful location, in a little less touristy part of Bali. Wonderful villas, very friendly staff. Excellent service.

We liked the food, it was healthy, well prepared, and a wide range menu. The food was not exceptional though, unlike the rest of the property.

The location is perfect for people who wants to relax, and recharge. The villas were in the middle of rice fields all with an amazing view. The personnel was incredibly kind and very friendly. Every detail was well thought. It was clean and comfy.

Nothing at all.

This place is the very definition of tranquility — a perfect retreat for relaxation and unwinding. The view of the rice fields is absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere is calm and rejuvenating. What truly sets the experience apart is the warmth of the staff — incredibly friendly and welcoming, it genuinely felt like being among family.

While none of the drawbacks are due to the staff or the hotel itself, they are worth mentioning for better trip planning for everyone. The villas are designed with relaxation in mind, so if you're looking to explore many of Bali's popular tourist spots — like Ubud, Nusa Penida, or various beaches — the location can be a challenge due to its remoteness. The property offers a lovely mix of on-site activities, including a nearby waterfall, which helps make staying in more appealing. However, if extensive sightseeing is part of your plan, you may want to consider accommodations closer to your intended destinations. Also, the place might not be ideal for families with young children (under 5), as it involves a lot of stairs and walking. As expected in a natural rice field setting, insects and mosquitoes are common. The hotel does provide natural repellent, which helps, but it's part of the authentic Bali experience — and not something to complain about.

The location is astonishing! The view of the room is out of this world

Slippery stairs, mosquitoes everywhere

This place is just a dream, everything was perfect ! The staff and the owner are so sweet. The food is delicious, the accommodations are very confortable and the experience you live there is just amazing ! You have to love nature because it’s far from everything but you can come with friends or family and you will definitely have a good time. A must do to live the real Bali ! Thank you so much for everything ❤️

Nothing, everything was perfect

A true piece of paradise! Led with so much love and kindness by Bert, Dian, Bram and the other staff. You truly feel part of nature and can come to rest here in this remote place. We hiked, we swam, we enjoyed the passionfruits and so much more. We hope to come back one day!

Delicious breakfast, perfect to set you up for the day! Lots of choice- something for everyone.

Extremely relaxing, super nice staff, every attention to detail, the waterfall at 15 minutes walk is amazing view and fresh dip, food was great. It is simply great!

Maybe one of the best places we've ever stayed!? Rice paddy views, friendly staff and ownership. Very clean with excellent service and food. Can't say enough good things about this place!

Nothing

The remoteness and the quiet. The property was beautiful and the views stunning. We all had a massage and it was exceptional.

Nothing - loved it all

Beautiful resort with amazing bungalows with the best views. Close to a waterfall, great staff, restaurant is wonderful, top notch. Just have to get there! The fresh teas were some of our favorite things.

Breakfast as well as other meals were freshly made and wonderful. The views, the quiet peaceful location were wonderful and relaxing. Staff was wonderful.

If you don't like being away from it all you would not enjoy staying at Clove Tree Hill.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful and tranquil location with incredibly friendly staff and great food 🙂

Everything 🙂

Beautiful villas surrounded by lush gardens, with fabulous views of rice terraces. The purpose of our trip was photography, and this was a photographer’s paradise. The rice terraces immediately surrounding the property are lovely, and there are even more extensive ones not far along one of the walks from the property and the local waterfall gave even more opportunity for photos. The pool was refreshingly cool (a blessing in Bali). Food was fabulous, staff lovely. I had a wonderful massage and the local driver they organised for us was great. All in all an outstanding experience.

While there is a local town walking distance away, it only had the tiniest of shops, so if you wanted or needed to buy anything, you really had to drive somewhere.

Le calme et la vue sur les rizières depuis le bungalow. Les balades autour de l'hôtel sont magnifiques On recommande sans hésiter.

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.

There was nothing to complain about.

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.

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.

The staff, the views, the villas, the hiking the comfort, and especially the attention to detail.

That we didn't stay longer.

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.

Nil

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.

All perfect!

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.

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.

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

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

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 !

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).

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

Nothing we didn’t like!

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.

We do not have a single complaint!

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.

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!

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...

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

Hidden gem! Great small and boutique hotel in a beautiful area. Staff are extremely nice, the view is unreal, the fresh water pool is amazing, the bedrooms are good size. Perfect place to relax, to meditate and to enjoy serenity! I will be back!

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.

Nothing

Great place. Amazing people. Felt like staying in midst of forest.

Should have more veg options

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 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. This is my paradise!

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.

Nothing, everything was great.

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.

Nothing

lovely people, beautiful room, loved the design :) incredible landscapes!

location. garden setting. view from dining area. good and good menu. friendly and competent staff. especially Dian and Brahm. we enjoyed the discussions over a wide range of topics.

nothing

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.

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

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!

None.
