We LOVED De Klumpu and left a bit of our heart there. First of all, the site is stunning: the view of mount aungung is breathtaking in the morning, the gardens are very well maintained and cleverly designed, the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the staff is discrete, helpful and super friendly, the food is varied, generously served and delicious! We stayed there 5 days which can be a lot if you haven’t planned activities as the hotel is very remote but we loved every second there. We were worried we’d feel very hot in the rooms as there is no ac but it was cool at night and we slept very well under the mosquito net, not many mosquitoes to report by the way, surprising as the place is full of water bodies but fish and geckos do their jobs well! The pool is beautiful and quiet, we enjoyed it too. In the shadow in the heat of the afternoon which was nice to play card games and relax before dinner. The Balinese massage was heavenly and the guided walking tour was informative, fun and authentic. We were lucky to attend the temple celebration in the neighbouring temple. The hotel arranged some of our transfers and we also had pickups from the cycling trip, rafting and Batur hike. Walking around the hotel is fun if you want to experience authentic Bali but the road is narrow and there is traffic. Our son has declared that he’d want to live there forever!

the location ( in the midth of rice fields) the restaurant ( great local cuisine , which comes at a price, but is worth every cent) the very friendly service the spacious accomodation ( ok, we got an upgrade :) ) the spacious bathroom ( just be aware that you do not get aircon and TV , this place is ECO

very little to criticise the pool is relatively small and difficult to access for older folks the "safe" box is made of wood with a simple key. neither safe nor fire proof the lock for the house was not safe we trust the staff, but you never know about the other guests

The resort is really beautiful and you feel completely immersed in the beauty of the surrounding nature! The location is good if you want to explore a part of Bali still authentic. The staff is lovely, well prepared and extremely friendly! Food is really amazing and the massage treatments are fantastic!!

Only to be mentioned, there is a space between the roof and the walls of the accommodations, so small animals like lizards can easily enter. It is not a big issue, especially if you stay in the big suites, but avoid to take the normal little houses if you are afraid of animals.

This was our favourite place on our entire Indonesia trip. It’s a real shame we only had 1 night! The resort is incredibly tranquil and beautiful, we enjoyed just walking around the rice terraces and looking at nature. We stayed in a little bit over the pond which was wonderful and great value for money. We had an excellent breakfast delivered to the seating space outside our room. The staff were so lovely and helpful. We booked an amazing cooking class in the evening and enjoyed the huge amount of delicious food we made in the restaurant. We also booked a cycling trip in the morning which was fantastic. The guide was so friendly and funny - him and my husband got on like a house on fire! A really easy bike ride from Mt Batur back to the resort, through villages and rice terraces. The best way to end our Indonesia trip before flying home!

The pool was lovely but smelled very chemical, and attracted lots of ants because of plant debris that hadn’t been swept up. We still enjoyed using it though, very shaded and a great outlook onto rice terraces.

Such a gorgeous stay. The staff were so smiley and really efficient. The accommodation is really special- rustic, green and restful! There are very impressive views of Mt Agung from the pool (when the sky is clear!) which I loved looking at as my husband was hiking his way down. They really thoughtfully got in gluten free bread (without me asking, although we mentioned I was coeliac on booking), and this was really appreciated! Thank you to everyone for making our stay amazing, we didn't want to leave!

The location is fantastic and very quiet. A good location for those who want to stay more and relax on the property. . Great view everywhere, and very clean . Very close to waterfalls !

If you have breakfast included and you chose the continental breakfast - eggs (of any type) are not included ( you shall pay extra) - only coffee/tea, 2 croissants and a toast with jam. Better to chose the local breakfest , where you can have more food, including egg :)

So pleased we decided to make the effort to come to this peace of paradise. We've been to Bali many times and have visited alot of the island, and this place is special. We loved walking around the area and there is surprisingly alot of different activities you can do in the area, even though it's feels so remote and rural. The resort is like beautiful, amasing 5 star service, delicious food, outstanding staff. Here you can experience a real peace of Bali in luxury. We will definitely be back.

Leaving

The location and view are nothing short of spectacular. We enjoyed the villa’s overlooking the rice terraces with Agung as backdrop. It doesn’t get any better. This is what Bali might have looked liked 30 or 40 years ago. We thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope this area between Bangli, Sideman and Klungkung keeps its authentic old school vibe. Without the tourist overload of Ubud. The staff is amazing as well. All of them very attentive and proactive, and great restaurant food.

Actually nothing for us. But if you enjoy restaurant choices overload of Ubud, then you will need to adapt to the area.

This place is perfect to relax and enjoy nature. The bungalow we stayed at was amazing, with an open air bathroom and the room view on the rice fields. The pool is great as well and the hotel arranged a yoga class and motorbike rental for us within seconds. Definitely recommend to someone who is looking for such type of experience. With a scooter you can go everywhere around, waterfalls, temples, rice fields etc

They could improve the food as the breakfast is à la carte and options are very limited. However if you don’t mind that, everything is amazing and the contact with nature is at another level

As a family of 4 (2 kids; 1 & 4) we were traveling from Gili Air to Ubud and were searching for an inbetween place to stay. And we found this hidden gem. 10 good reasons to stay here: 01. Splendid views as if your accomodation was dropped in a local rice field 02. It’s a small-sized resort; only you and the other guests and no other tourists within miles 03. Small resort with everything you need to make you feel comfortable 04. Familiy-friendly without it being a kids paradise, it’s still quiet and serene 05. The staff will attend to all your needs; they arranged a pick-up for us in Padangbai and created a tour of the area, fitting the baby’s schedule 06. It’s strategically situated for (half) day trips such as waterfalls and the Besakih temple 07. The restaurant serves excellent drinks and food; from a specialty burger to a mahi-mahi nasi goreng. 08. We had a very spacious family cottage, which not only looked great, but (again) had a magnificent view from inside and out on the large terrace. 09. The driver Komang that will driver you anywhere with a big smile 10. Did I mention ‘location, location, location’?

No negatives; it was everything we hoped it would be, and more.
