Mount Batur Homestay

I stayed at Mount Batur homestay in February 2026 and Komang and his wife, Sarcina were wonderful. The room was lovely and the bathroom was new and clean. I enjoyed sitting on the little patio when it rained and had a great view of Mt Batur. Komang went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and could go around as needed (he brought me to a nice restaurant the overlooked the volcano from a different angle) as I had no transportation. He arranged a great ATV ride through the black lava rocks, mud and jungle which was a thrill! Sarcina brought me cooked bananas as a snack and his sister Made brought me to the hot springs and was my driver for the trip back to Sanur. All of them were wonderful! The surrounding farm land is a very nice, peaceful and an interesting place to walk around despite the harmless flies (an annoyance but don’t bite and all over Kintamani area). All of the locals in the area were very friendly and although it is off the beaten track, I had access to everything I needed including laundry at the local shop. Staying here for three nights with this lovely family was the highlight of my time in Bali!

Nothing

The kindest family you will ever meet. We came to Mount Batur home stay for 2 nights as we wanted to hike Mount Batur. Sukrada (our host) was most welcoming helping us organise our hike up the volcano, he gave us a good price and showed us many different options of the hike. He woke up with us at 3 am and drove us to the starting point. We came in rainy season so we’re prepared for the worst but the views were still insane and beautiful ! Don’t let the rainy season put you off as it meant there were less tourists and more space for us to enjoy the views. As for our home stay the room was comfortable, clean and warm shower with hairdryer and a fan ! A lot better than a few of the places we stayed in Bali. Obviously you have come to Kintamani to Hike Mount Batur so the surrounding area is all farm land so expect flies and little things to do around other than hike Mount Batur and the Hot springs afterwards which was amazing to relax in. We stayed for 2 nights and that was perfect for us to do our activities. Sukrada’s wife cooked very yummy breakfasts of omelet and banana pancakes as well as dinner when we needed it of friend rice and fried noodles. Having the comfort of home cooked food when we needed it was lovely ! Overall our stay was relaxing, playing cards in the evening and coffee and tea provided when we wanted :) Two very happy travellers who for the price and caring attitude of this family couldn’t ask for more.

For us there was nothing we didn’t like as we understood we were in somewhat of a rural town surrounded by farm lands so the flies weren’t an issue for us. If you want a 5 star hotel then maybe hiking Mount Batur isn’t for you but if you are like us who love to be in the countryside and enjoy the hikes and enjoy chatting to a lovely kind family then this is 100% for you ! Best home stay in Kintamani ❤️❤️

The best service, family is super nice and hospitable. We tasted Arak together. This place is more than expectations. Is in the middle of onion fields. We did also Batur trek with Senny. Rooms are clean.

Komang is a really nice owner and willing to help! The breakfast is good and they also offer dinner for a very good price - which is great since the homestay is in a remote area. The room is good and comfortable, only has a fan and no A/C but it wasn't a problem since in that area is more chill. Bathroom is shared and outside, but it was good as I was the only person using the shared bathroom. View to Mt. Batur is great, really nice to sit down in the afternoon or during breakfast and just enjoy it. I booked my hiking to Mt. Batur with Komang and turned out that he was the one guiding me, which was nice cause he really knows the area. I had a bottle of water, a walking stick, and breakfast included. He was not in a rush at all and just let me enjoy the top of Mt. Batur for as long as I wanted, not rushing back after the sunrise as all the other tours

It's very remote, in the middle of the rural area, not in town. I had my own motorbike, so it wasn't a problem I didn't really check other options to the hiking tour and booked direclty with the homestay, but I felt it was a bit pricey, still really convenient as I didn't have any effort

The staff, management, villa, location, everything was so great that i really don’t have any words to explain. Direct view of mount Batur from the bed. Their hospitality, professionalism, support , kindness - everything was a 100 on a scale of 10. Best place in Kintamni.

The fact that I loved it so much, I wanted to extend but the rooms were booked out :) and the hosts cared for me so much, I just felt like it was my home away from home. This property has really nothing NOT to love. One of the Best experiences so far in my solo trip in Bali.

Komang and his family are amazing hosts. Their place is basic, a room, a bed (very fresh sheets), bathroom was private but separate. But they make sure you are looked after. His wife cooks great basic food. He can organise drivers and your trekking/hot springs experience with ease at reasonable price - considering what you’re saving on hotel, it’s a great deal!

A bit remote, but that’s part of the charm. Many flies, but tbh, there were more in town.

Our stay was perfect, Komang and his whole family were amazing. They looked after us making sure we were happy helping us with anything we needed. He helped us with organising our trip doing the long route up Mount Batur with our guide Seni who worked very hard looking after the whole group and made it one of our best experiences in Bali. Hopefully will get to come back and stay again!

Our stay at Mount Batur Homestay was one of the highlights of our trip to Bali. It was a totally immersive experience in a warm family home amongst a farming community. We were welcomed so warmly and treated like part of the family. Originally chose this location to be closer to Mount Batur in order to do the sunrise hike up the mountain. The homestay is nestled in farm land in the shadow of the mountain. Komang, our host, drove us to the start point of the trail with a local guide that he had organised for us. As you leave around 3:30am, Komang offered you a head torch (which you need in the dark) and bamboo walking pole which I recommend using. There are three routes down which you can choose depending on how difficult the path is. Recommend hiking boots or a good pair of sneakers. Price varies according to the route you choose. Komang showed us the day before on a map what to expect. We are an older couple and do not ride motorcycle, so Komang, in his own time, offered to drive us in his car around the area. The viewpoints of the lake and Mountain Abung that he took us to, were amazing, as was the temple on the lake that we visited. We too were taken to the Volcano museum and watched a 20 minute documentary on the history of the volcanic activity. It was really interesting especially after climbing the mountain itself. Put everything in perspective. We appreciated the breakfasts and dinners that Sartina made us 🙏 Walking through the farm lanes and the local village really gave us a feel of the real Bali . Komang also organised us travel on to our next destination. Suksma Sartina and Komang for your warm hospitality and for going above and beyond. We loved our stay at your place and will definitely be back . 🙏

Loved every moment.
