Access road is challenging/bumpy; shuttle pickup often needed

Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple guests described the property as 'impeccable', 'spotless' and 'quite clean'; housekeeping and upkeep are consistently praised.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as very friendly, attentive and helpful (shuttle/pick-up offered); service was called better than 5-star by one guest.
Location
1
Outstanding views of Mount Batur and a peaceful, private setting are frequently mentioned, though several guests noted the access road is challenging/bumpy and shuttle pickup is recommended.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as private, comfortable and in new condition with a comfy bed; small property (only a couple of rooms) suits guests seeking seclusion.
Amenities
1
Many small amenities listed (towels, robes, toiletries, kettle, fridge, snacks), but important practical issues were reported: hot water runs out quickly, limited power outlets/extensions, and some fixtures (greenhouse placement) could be improved — these impacted convenience.
Value for Money
1
Despite excellent service and views, limited on-site dining, access difficulties and the small scale of the property led to mixed perceptions of value for some guests; price details were not given, so score reflects moderated perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Guests noted free snacks/drinks and the ability to order food via WhatsApp, but there is no full on-site restaurant and few tested meal options — food offering is limited compared with other praised aspects.
Overall Experience
1
Many reviewers called the stay magical, highly recommended the place, and praised staff and views; however practical drawbacks (access road, hot water, limited dining) temper the overall score.

Parfait pour faire un arrêt à Kintamani pour faire le mont Batur. Chambre avec Vue à couper le souffle
Pros:

Un moment hors du temps, excentré (accès par routes légèrement chaotiques mais drôle)
Une vue à couper le souffle depuis la chambre, avec terrasse et brasero privatif.
Nuit courte pour l’ascension du mont Batur (départ 2h40) mais nous avons passé un super moment là-bas.

Cons:

Beaucoup de fourmis dans la salle de bains mais indépendant de leur volonté.

MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Pros:

I read the reviews before arriving, and they were absolutely accurate — the level of care here feels like a five‑star hotel, the way you’re looked after is exceptional and refined. I don’t even know where to begin because this stay was extraordinary in every sense. The service was flawless, always available, and effortlessly attentive, with seamless pickup and drop‑off that made everything feel beautifully taken care of. Every detail was organised for me with such ease that I could fully exhale the moment I arrived. The property itself is stunning, with an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply soothing, a place where you can genuinely relax. The view is extraordinary, and sitting in front of the fire at night felt like a private luxury ritual — quiet, intimate, and unforgettable. This was, without question, the finest experience I’ve had in Bali, and I will return here without hesitation, a thousand times over.

Cons:

everything was PERFECT!

Loved it!
Pros:

I stayed at Lava Sky Kintamani and out of five weeks in Bali and seven different accommodations, this was by far my favourite place! It honestly felt like I spent four days living inside a painting. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, and the view is absolutely stunning, the kind you just don’t get tired of looking at.

What made the stay even more special was Sudi. He went above and beyond to make everything as comfortable as possible. From lighting a campfire, ordering and picking up food and having it delivered directly to my room & driving me around whenever needed. Sudi did it all with such warmth and a constant big smile. His kindness really stood out and made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Thanks again Sudi!!!

I already know I want to come back, and next time I’ll definitely stay longer. The calmness and beauty of this place were exactly what I needed.

Lieu incroyable et expérience intéressante sur une courte durée
Pros:

L’emplacement et la vue exceptionnelle !
Le lever du soleil ☀️.

Cons:

- Aucune insonorisation entre les deux logements et avec l’extérieur
- Présence de fumée dans la chambre lorsque l’un des résidents décide de choisir l’option « feu de bois » à l’extérieur
- les rideaux ne couvrent pas la totalité des vitres donc il est impossible de faire l’obscurité si cela est souhaité

Personnel aux petits soins, vue sur la caldeira à couper le souffle
Pros:

Une adresse absolument exceptionnelle pour vivre l'expérience du Mont Batur comme elle se doit.

Dès l'arrivée, le personnel nous a accueillis avec une chaleur et une bienveillance rares. Attentionnés sans jamais être intrusifs, ils ont anticipé nos besoins, répondu à toutes nos questions sur le trek avec des conseils précieux, et créé une atmosphère qui donne immédiatement envie de rester plus longtemps.

Mais ce qui rend le Lava Sky vraiment unique, c'est son emplacement. Se réveiller en pleine nuit, partir marcher dans l'obscurité et atteindre le sommet du Batur pour voir le soleil se lever sur la caldeira et le lac — c'est une expérience qui marque à vie. Et savoir qu'on redescend ensuite dans un hébergement aussi accueillant, c'est le luxe absolu.

Le cadre est à couper le souffle à toute heure : le coucher de soleil sur le volcan depuis la terrasse la veille, puis ce lever de soleil inoubliable au sommet le lendemain matin.

Si vous venez à Kintamani pour faire le trek du Batur, ne cherchez plus. Le Lava Sky est l'endroit parfait pour vivre cette aventure dans les meilleures conditions possible. Je recommande chaudement et sans la moindre réserve.

Incredible staff and location but some changes necessary to make it a perfect stay
Pros:

Morning views, fire pit and staff were incredible

Cons:

No AC which was a massive issue between 6am-6pm (unbearably hot) and flies were a massive issue - there was a huge gap around the entire open ended roof and the glass door… mosquitos and flies were constantly in our room which made it so dirty from trying to kill them all. I think if you were staying for 1 night just to get up early and see the sunrise it would be perfect but 3 nights was definitely too much with these issues. Breakfast was also not good at all unfortunately
