Villa Jempana

Very friendly helpful staff. The grounds and casitas are nice and the views of the lake and volcano are really nice. Of course, the flies are incessant in the morning. They seem to fade away in the afternoon and evening. The hotel is a short drive to the start of Mt Batur hike and you can hire a guide at this hotel. Highly recommend the hike. I have the four stars only because of the flies which isn't the fault of the hotel but if the nearby businesses can come up with a solution, that would be great.

There were so many good reviews, thatswhy we’ve chose this place but this was our only accomodation which I didnt like. Kintamani is full of flyes, you cannot eat anything outside in the daytime (I know it is not the hotel’s fault) but the rooms were dirty, a lot of dead flyes and ants. No hot water in the shower, and the bathroom and the fridge was smelly. The shower was full of boiler scale. I dont recommend coming here 😕 the pool and the view was very nice, but also the staff was very young and a bit unprofessional unfortunately. When we were trying to sleep we were hearing everyone from outside, the sound-proofing is very bad.

Very lovely property and would recommend to anyone visiting kintamani

I have never been a beach, bars and booze guy so I never thought of coming to Bali. After visiting Kintamani and staying at Villa Jempana I am regretting not coming sooner. Serene views of the lake and caldera, central to lots of drives and the sunrises and sunsets, even in the rainy season were stunning. If being comfortable and cared for while quietly watching the farmers water their fields is you kinda thing, I can’t recommend enough. Ask for Molex.

I feel bad giving a bad review for this property since the staff were so nice but it was a pretty miserable experience for us. The bathroom had a ton of bugs and the shower doors didn’t close. Paint was falling off the walls and the bed sheets were super moist when we moved in (a staff member told us that was normal). The room didn’t smell great, either. Also, it was impossible to eat at the outdoor restaurant because there were flies everywhere constantly.
