We enjoyed staying at the cottage! It was perfect to hike Mount Batur. The food is cooked from scratch and is delicious. The staff is very nice.

No maintenance noisy pumps
Posted 21 Oct 2018It's a good view of the Batu lake and that's all.
The building is more like a tent that hasn't been maintained. Then pumps start up 5 in the morning to water vegetables

Lake side views of Batur
Posted 13 Aug 2018 on HotelsThe cabins have glass walls with a beautiful view across the lake. Close to Batur and the hot springs, not very much else to do in the area, but we went for these two activities. Helpful staff who could arrange taxis at a reasonable price, and good food in their own restaurant.

Baruna cottages were well equipped and the staff were very helpful and friendly. A nice breakfast was included in the costs and we were supplied with fresh fruit at each meal and encouraged to take whatever we needed. Very peaceful spot on the lakefront. Owner was also very helpful in finding a taxi and providing advice on the area.

Location was excellent and the staff could not have been warmer. We highly recommend the local grilled fish that the staff caught fresh every night, the trek up to the top of the volcano at sunrise was unforgettable and Trunyan village and cemetery. We also loved getting to know the family, their children and pets. I got to walk the dog every morning!

Sweet owners
Posted 25 Sep 2015 on HotelsThe hotel owner and his family are very nice and accomadating. They even invited us out to their farm and gave us a bag of oranges. Our cottage was very basic but clean enough and the view of the lake was nice. We enjoyed being off the beaten path but it may be useful go rent a motorbike if you can so you don't have to continue to pay drivers.

Do not stay here!
Posted 1 May 2015 on HotelsThis hotel is awful! There are thousands / millions of flies everywhere as it over looks a lake . In the morning everyone was covered with dead flies. You can't even have a shower as they cover the whole room . The owner was helpful and did refund us 50% as we had to leave because of the conditions .

Right on the banks of the lake...great location.
Posted 21 Jul 2014
Pros: This is very convenient for a climb up Mt. Batur the next morning.
Cons: This is run a little like a family renting out a part of the home.
Great location, friendly staff...and rustic. It didn't feel like a formal hotel/rental place since we didn't get towels. I am sure everything was available if we bothered to ask.
