Clove Tree Hill

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.

Assez épique pour y arriver avec notre chauffeur mais une fois sur place , quelle belle récompense ! Le cadre est magnifique , le personnel aux petits soins et la nourriture n'est pas en reste .un hâvre de paix qui semble au milieu de nulle part mais les activités proposées font que vous n'aurez pas à vous ennuyer ...et on a aussi apprécié de nous balader par nous mêmes .

- 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.
