Short! We stayed 2 hours and then left!
Sadly, the current property did not resemble the accommodation we thought we had booked.
We had booked Jero Tumbuk for several quiet days relaxing by the pool and were really looking forward to our stay.
Unfortunately, after arriving, meeting the owner and seeing both our accommodation and the grounds, we decided that we could not stay and immediately booked alternative accommodation.The biggest issue for us was that the photographs that we had seen when booking did not, in our view, fairly (or remotely) represent the present condition of the property. The gardens and paths appeared very neglected and overgrown, with fallen trees obstructing some areas and ponds heavily filled with vegetation. The attractive, light and well-maintained environment portrayed in the photographs was simply not what we encountered.
There was also nowhere comfortable for us to spend the day relaxing. We could find no sun loungers or pool towels and no comfortable outdoor seating where we could sit and read, which was the principal reason we had booked several days here. Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) we were the only guests.
We also had concerns about the accommodation itself. Our room could not be securely locked, the bamboo construction had sizeable gaps through which insects could readily enter, and the outside toilet/shower area did not feel particularly private. More seriously for us, the bed linen did not appear clean. Around the communal/bar area, shelving and seating were dirty and deteriorating and the walls and other surfaces appeared badly in need of cleaning and maintenance.
The pool itself was full and usable, but again did not resemble the impression we had taken from the photographs of the infinity pool and surrounding area.
I do want to say something positive about Ari, the owner, who was lovely and welcoming. She clearly has a genuine enthusiasm for introducing visitors to the local community and Balinese way of life. For travellers looking for a very rustic, immersive experience rather than conventional resort-style accommodation, Jero Tumbuk may therefore have considerable appeal.
Unfortunately, that was not what we had booked it for. We were expecting the standard and facilities suggested by the listing photographs and wanted somewhere comfortable to relax by a pool for a few days. In its current condition, we felt the property needed substantial cleaning, maintenance and attention before those photographs could be considered representative of the experience we encountered.
We left shortly after arriving and did not stay the night. I have given two stars rather than one because Ari herself was extremely pleasant and I can see how the concept of Jero Tumbuk could appeal to a different type of traveller. Our criticism is principally about the condition of the property and the disparity between what we believed we had booked (based on the beautiful advertised photos) and what we found on arrival.

Jero Tumbuk was a truly exceptional experience. Our family of 6 did not want to leave. We loved it.
The hosts and staff were delightful, the food delicious, fresh and beautifully prepared. The setting was such a delight, incredible architecture amongst the tropical gardens, winding, peaceful pathways, thoughtfully placed decorations. Being in a rural setting surrounded by active farms and under my Agung was magic. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Family of 6, including 4 teens/ young adults just loved it.
There was nothing we did not like.

Pure Balinese rice farming country; relax and breathe here.
If you want to be well out into the countryside and the Balinese rice paddies, this is the place. Lodges built (ours by a busy creek) around the grounds, and a full-scale temple compound where the local kids come to practice traditional instruments. Plus a restaurant and bar. Everything delightfully open air.
Staff were incredibly friendly, charming and welcoming. overall a BRILLIANT stay! they made us feel so welcomed and they were so kind and generous. thank you guys!!

Die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber, die uns sehr nett aufgenommen haben. Eine Vielzahl an Aktivitäten vor Ort wie Joga, Kochkurs, Kontakt zu lokaler Bevölkerung. Idyllische Lage in Reisfeldern ohne Touristenmassen. So lernt man das wahre Bali kennen.
Auf den ersten Blick war es recht einfach.

Authentic bamboo structure and the garden was amazing to walk around in.
- Bit of confusion over if the property had pool access, after seeing one in the pictures, which the garden villa does not so be warned.
- No views of the mountain from this property type either or any views really due to the greenery of the garden surrounding the property and the direction it's facing Both of the above features are only accessible if you book the private villa. There are no common areas.
-The food choice was very simple, and not too varied. Personally, I can't start off the day with fried noodles and rice and eggs and cake. There didn't seem to be any other healthier options, and due to the remote location (we don't ride mopeds) there was nowhere else suitable to eat at. So my body by the second day was feeling sluggish. The 2nd evening that we ordered dinner, two hours went by with no response and we were thinking about how to get some food, but the big fat rat in the ceiling above the bed helped us decide it was time to leave early.
We don't mind gekos and moths and even cockroaches, we are basically in a treehouse after all, but there was just something that was too unnerving about a giant rat visibly running around above our heads as we slept!
We left that evening to go to a nearby hotel and had to pay 450k for the driver to collect us.
