Villa Danu gave me a charming impression on my trip. The warmth and kindness of the staff added a special touch, making my visit truly memorable. The culinary experience is extraordinary, with a typical Danua Batur fish menu. The quality of the rooms exceeds expectations, offering comfort, and a swimming pool with lake views is a highlight. Villa Danu exceeds every expectation, creating the perfect setting for unforgettable holidays and business trips.

Please be ready for extra clothes or jackets due to cold temperatures.

Loved this stay.staff make sure you feel like family. Clean,beautiful view 😍 I had the most amazing time at Batur Lake View! mowgli and his family are wonderful and warm hosts. I love the views of this place, and the location is perfect for climbing Mount Batur at sunrise, or exploring around Lake Batur. I really felt cared for during my stay. I lost my wallet on a trip to Bali as a solo traveler, and the host also helped me figure out my cash situation (helped find someone I could use PayPal with). Komang treats its guests like family, and I had a wonderful time chatting around the campfire in the evening. I did the Mount Batur exploration climb co-organized by the host, and it was amazing and great value.

Everything was great 👍

The bed in room 6 is a bit squeeky 😁 but overall a very nice stay. You can’t even be mad for the flies. Those are EVERYWHERE near that area. Also, someone should talk about how Grab and GoJek are not allowed in this area. But its fine if you are willing to bargain a bit.

Просторные виллы. Вежливый персонал. Прекрасные закаты. Хороший бассейн. Красивая и уютная территория.

Dichtbij de vulkaan om de zonsopkomst te zien. De behulpzaamheid van het personeel.

De vliegen in de regentijd veroorzaakt door de mest van kippenstront. Wij bleven hier twee nachten. Dit is niet nodig als je de zonsopkomst wil zien. Een nacht is voldoende. Wij dachten hier nog te rondlopen nabij het meer. Dit is echter niet mogelijk. Er worden hier ook locale toeristen ontvangen. Bij ons was dit zo, dat het onmogelijk was om het restaurant te gebruiken omdat deze mensen het kookgerei en ingrediënten zelf hadden meegenomen in het restaurant. Anderen werden gedwongen om het diner op de kamer te nuttigen. Daarnaast was er veel geluid door spraak en een musicblaster zo dat wij verplicht waren daarvan mee te genieten. Het personeel was echter niet bij machte om dit te stoppen.

The view and the service

Nothing

Very beautiful atmosphere must visit if you are planning for batur mt trek . Jeep pick up also available

I didn't like the property beautiness it didnt let me go out from the resort 😅

nice view with the pool over the lake and the room was spacious and comfy bed. staff was nice and kind. food was good.

poor water pressure, not their fault but there were SO many flies and construction around with very stinky burning smells. would also be nice to have a fan

La chambre est très agréable et bien aménagé. Le lit est très confortable.

L’hôtel n’a pas une super location. Le personnel n’est pas agréable et le petit déjeuner est plus que médiocre. Nous avons demandé des pancakes bananes qui est une spécialité à Bali et ce que nous avons reçu était décevant.

Très jolie paysage autour de la villa. La vue de lac avec montagne derrière est très impressionnant. Personnel très sympa aussi.

L'endroit est un peu difficile à trouver. Il s'agit de problème adresse sur Google. Néanmoins, le personnel est assez réactifs pour nous guider le bon chemin. Il faut mieux arriver pas trop tard dans la nuit pour faciliter trouver le chemin.

La taille du logement, la propreté, la piscine, le calme.

La route pour arriver à l'hôtel était horrible. C'est vraiment très dommage que de si jolies structures aient de si mauvaises routes pour y accéder. Il n'y a rien autour du logement, pas de commerce. Juste le restaurant de l'hebergement.

We had a great experience with our Mount Batur hike, thanks to our guide Yuni. This was arranged through the hotel. The room is okay and it’s a quiet hotel. The pool is nice. Communication on WhatsApp with Mowgli was good and quick.

Quite some points unfortunately. Lots of noise at night from motorbikes and dogs. There is construction going on directly next to the hotel. The direct view is building sites. Different to what we expected. The road to the hotel is absolutely horrific and very hard to reach by car or scooter. Almost all the food we ordered was.. really bad. But you don’t have much choice when you don’t feel like taking the very bumpy road to and from the hotel. Staff’s English is not good, except for the one guy. Mowgli arranged some things for us, including transport to Padangbai and the boat to Gili Air. He drove us and was really aggressive in traffic and went really fast. Once there, we were dropped off at his friends office, then taken to another office, then taken to a restaurant. It all felt a bit sketchy. We felt ‘handled’ and like we were in a scam, even though it wasn’t. It was just the way things went. Mowgli is friendly and helpful, but at the same time it felt a bit off and very different from our previous encounters on Bali. We recommend finding another place to stay, nearer to Kintamani Coffee, where there are more restaurants and coffee places. Or maybe just doing the Mt Batur hike from Ubud. We did not really find the area worthwhile to stay in overall. Thanks again to Yuni whose company we absolutely enjoyed. We took the longer route down from the top, where we did not encounter any more tourists. Well worth it. All the best! UPDATE: We have entered multiple reviews through Google which disappeared not much later. I think they are deleting reviews? Google now says the hotel is permanently closed. Maybe to counter bad reviews. Hopefully they are able to improve on things.

Big spacious room. Comfy bed. Wifi was good. Mowgli was good at organising. Nice views

The wait for food and water. There was no refill water station. Some staff had limited English at times which made it difficult. It doesn’t look exactly like it does in pictures online.

Stunning views

A bit of a mission to get to location

Staff were very accommodating and the view from our room was amazing! Food was good especially the local fish. 😊

The steps.

Friendly and helpful staff, good food, comfortable room, nice pool with a view and not far from the thermal springs. We even did an amazing hike organized by Mowgli and his guides. Thanks for accommodating all our requests !

- Bumpy road to reach there but most of Bali is like this :) - lots of flies during the day, but luckily they disappear at night :)

In a convenient location for the Mount Batur hike.

The villas were in a very poor location that was extremely difficult to get to. There is no where around to get food and no supermarkets. The breakfast choices were poor. The room was ok but smelt strong of garlic. No one cleaned our room or topped up our water and it was very noisy. Book your mount Batur trek before arrival as we used ‘Mowgli’ (based at the hotel) who over charged us. He claimed we were paying extra for a longer and better hike but not where everybody else went. This was definitely not the case when we got there we were hiking up the mountain with the other hundreds of people.

I liked the bed, the balcony with view to the swimming pool, the lake and the mountain.

The bathroom was dark and weird.

The restaurant was really not good. They did not have good coffee, always brought it sugary and the food was very greasy and not adequate.

View is really good.

Pricy for what you are getting. Sink in the room didn’t work, the bathroom is half-finished. zero noise isolation, can hear all the scooters in the neighborhood. not very clean from the previous stay. Save your 50usd for something else.

Green areas with a gorgeous mountain and one view, the rooms were spacious and the pool view was super nice, convenient restaurant. We loved Mowgli, he’s in charge and makes everything easy and nice for us, we booked our Batur tour with him, then he took us to the spring waters and even to Ubud, so a totally worries free trip and we made the best of our trip in Kintamani thanks to his lovely attitude and hard work.

I guess it’s just for the location and season but the room was super humid and the bathroom smelly, was clean but had a strong smell that I don’t think they can do much about it, we put some perfume and got over it, we didn’t use the pool because was super cold but it’s nice to lay down there and take the sun enjoying the view.

View is amazing!

Comfort

nice view

Great location and cozy villa’s. Very kind and hard working staff. Did the hike tour through this resort (highly recommended!).

The road to the villa’s.

Beautiful views, just like the pictures Room was very lovely, big comfortable bed Mowgli our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic! You can book him when you get there. We did a Mount Batur sunrise trek and also he drove us to our next stay in Ubud via a fantastic coffee plantation. He taught us a lot about the Balinese culture, and was just such a lovely, helpful guy! Lovely pool Very clean!

Food was average and not a lot around so it is your only option. Did the job though!

Beautiful hotel. Great location. Very sweet and helpful staff. Very sweet and skilled guide to the hike to the vulcano. Mowgli is such a great guy and skilled driver. We would love to come back sometime 😀
