D'Kailash is a little mountain paradise. If you're expecting a luxury resort this isn't it but the cabins are well equipped and even have a kettle and fridge, which you don't often get at this price. It's like sleeping up in the clouds at the top of the mountain. You can hear the waterfalls below. The sunrises are magnificent. The view incredible. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. The owners were so kind and friendly to us. We had a wonderful stay. They even cooked us a delicious Nasi Goreng one night.

Nothing. Just a heads up, being in the mountains the roads are narrow and steep and the cabins have wooden steps to get up to the rooms. Tricky if you have mobility issues. But we are in our 60s and we managed. We had our own car which is a good idea as nearest restaurants are quite a walk away.

The view is just out of this world. You can watch sunrise from your bed and the colors of sunset are like nowhere else. It´s really simple, quiet and beautiful. Yes, it is a bit far from everything if you don´t have a scooter / car. There is no public transport and each walk to supermarket/restaurant takes a steep uphill way back. On the other hand, they cook in the place so you can always stay there. We considered it a real retreat. Along with really close aling aling waterfall, you can also do a beautiful half-day hike from there to 3 other beautiful waterfalls.

Staying at D’Kailash Retreat was one of the highlights of our trip to Bali. The wooden bungalows are simple but really comfy, with good mattresses and everything you need to feel at home. Waking up to those amazing views every morning was a dream—pure peace and quiet. What really makes the place special, though, are the owners. They’re genuinely kind, welcoming and the sweetest ever! If you’re into nature, calm vibes, and real connection, this is the spot.

We enjoyed our 7 nights here. The room is traditional The views of the sunrise over the valley is breathtaking. The room was comfy with fridge and aircon. The location is remote but we either walked the very steep hill to the village (20min) or to the river/waterfall past the rice fields up the mountain (20 min) or caught a taxi organised by our hosts at a fair price. We were spoilt each morning with a delicious vegan Bali breakfast. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Beutiful location, quiet and serene. Beach is 20 mins away so you get the beat of both worlds. Perfect for a couple. We had great weather so was no problem even with our 4yr old. But might be a challenge otherwise. The family that runs the place is amazing. Always smiling and very welcoming and accommodating. They always talked to our son and even serves us the fruits he liked. We loved our stay there.

The room we were in was a bit tight due to the slanted roof. Maybe our room is not ideal for tall or big people.

The staff here were so kind and were there to help whenever I needed anything. The views from the room were spectacular and perfect to watch the sunrise. The bathroom was good, and I had a fridge and kettle in the room. The bed was super comfy. The staff changed my sheets when I had ants come in!

Would be nice to have somewhere comfortable to chill out rather than the bed, such as sofas or deck chairs. Had to get a scooter around but that’s a given in this area.

The views are like an oil painting here, very tranquil site and area. John and his wife are always available, super approachable and very helpful, they arranged mopeds and waterfall tours for us quickly and are really friendly and good to chat with. The room is small and cabin like which we really enjoyed as it adds to the mountain adventurous vibe. You can order meals to the room which are home cooked by Johns indonesian family and very tasty, the wifi worked well and the shower was boiling hot also. We felt so good staying here and can't wait to come back and see the guys again

Nothing to add here it was a very nice stay

The location is really beautiful with stunning vistas on each side. The family running the accommodation are absolutely lovely and extremely helpful. The place is a perfect little peaceful retreat in nature and very close to a lot of the waterfalls and other tourist attractions of north Bali.

Everything was great

The energy of this place is out of this world. You wake up to a view that feels like a dream. Then you go for breakfast and meet the kind local Balinese people, still unspoiled by tourism and money. Their strong faith in the gods they pray to surrounds you with a special energy that you can feel in your heart.

Beautiful sunrise over the valley! Lovely host family, great location for exploring the north, yummy local food and choice of western/asian breakfast, clean and cosy rooms with lovely deck and balcony. We had a great stay!

We were very happy and comfortable but a few things might put other people off: You hear some road noise. The rooms are split level with stairs outside (my husband and I split and slept with the kids). The bathrooms are outside but very private, but the flooring is a bit sore on bare feet.
