Lovely stay just a few tweaks needed with customer service
Pros:

Very clean and had exceptional views

Cons:

It was just off a busy road so it was quite noisy especially around 3/4am as jeeps were heading to the mountain for sunrise.
Checking in was a little odd too I went to main reception and the lady there told me someone would be at the villa and when I went back up there no one was there. I waited maybe 15mins for someone to come, as a solo female traveller I found this a little daunting.
The main hotel pool and staff were stunning.
The guy who checked me out carried all my bags and stayed with them while I went to main pool area which was very nice.

The best trip & hotel with mountain views!🤍
Pros:

**Google Review**
I highly recommend staying at Desa Oculus. The staff is fantastic, highly attentive, and available 24/7. A special thank you to Kak Widianti, who took the time to show us all the best spots around the property.
The food is exceptional. Everything is freshly made and delicious, and the on-site restaurant stays open late into the night. This is incredibly convenient, as there is no need to order food from outside. We booked the afternoon tea with a beautiful view of Mount Batur, which was perfect. We also enjoyed a floating breakfast at the infinity pool around 11:00 AM; the weather was wonderful and completely comfortable, not hot at all.
We stayed in a corner room with a mountain view, and the experience was flawless. The room was spotless with absolutely no bugs. The amenities were fully stocked and smelled wonderful, especially the soap. The bed was huge and soft, making for a perfect night's sleep. Overall, this was an incredible stay, and I cannot recommend it enough!

Pros:

The stuff, the menu ( though pricey) the view.

Cons:

Rooms without soundproofing.Wind blows between doors and it is very noisy. There is a stone quarry down the hill and trucks going up the hill day and night, weekend included. Not possible to sleep without earplugs or enjoy the view of the balcony in peace.
The room is big but not practical. A huge square bathtub almost 1meter high occupies the middle of the room always on the way to the shower and toilette. No place for big suitcases, no refrigerator, etc.No restaurants in the area and no place to walk unless you take a car or walk in the middle of the traffic.We walked and were attacked by dogs.
Not recommended for more than 1 night, watch the view, do the trekking and move on.

An unforgettable stay with outstanding hospitality, stunning mountain views, and a truly peaceful atmosphere.
Pros:

The service was exceptional throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to assist with a smile. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The highlight was the breathtaking view of Mount Agung, Mount Abang, and Mount Batur, which made waking up each morning a truly memorable experience. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable.

Cons:

Very little to dislike. If I had to mention one thing, the access road can be a bit challenging for first-time visitors, but it is well worth the journey once you arrive.

Disappointed
Pros:

The spacious room & view of the lake.

Cons:

The gaps in the windows allowing bugs & flies in.
Went to the restaurant & ordered 3 items which we were told they didn't have, such as everyday items, chicken, eggplant etc.
No acceptable at a higher end priced hotel.
Left without any dinner at all !!!
Would not recommend this hotel at this price!!

Pros:

What can I say - this is the most wonderful hotel, from which you do not want to leave. The hotel is in a very good location, access is good. The staff is extremely attentive and caring. The hotel has several restaurant locations, plus a bar by the pool. The food is incredibly delicious. The rooms - wow!!! Very beautiful, clean and cozy. And most importantly - the view is fabulous. I would like to come back here again and again. Thank you very much for the welcome.

Fantastisk utsikt fra poolen!
Pros:

Kult hotel med stilig pool og lekkert design. Veldig koselig personale og super god mat. Nydelig massasje!

Cons:

Mye bråk fra trafikken og vi trodde dette lå alene og litt avsides, men det stemte ikke så billeder lyver litt. Kanskje litt dyrt i forhold til mange andre flotte hoteller på Bali.

Desa Oculus Staff make it amazing
Pros:

Firstly the staff at this hotel are awesome, super positive, friendly and helpful in every way. To mention a few, Nita Suma and Saputra thanks for making our stay most welcoming.
Why only the 4 stars, well the flies aside (thanks to the chickenpoo fertilisers on Kintamani’s farmland) although considered ‘cooler’ in temps than other parts of Bali, it can still get hot and stuffy and with no aircon can get uncomfortable. No mini fridges either in the rooms and not so much a major issue for us but if you have kids with you, no TV’s either. There are also plenty of stairs to keep you fit too!
Food and services are though very good. We ate here as well in the restaurant and including the breakfasts and could not fault any of the dishes, all excellent.
The views are impressive overlooking Danau Batur and the volcanic mountains. Early morning being best to glimpse the peak of Agung.
All in all it’s the staff that make this place.
Enjoyed it.
