The bungalow is a beautiful, traditional style building that can be opened up on all sides. The location and view from the room are exceptional! Facilities are comfortable and the staff friendly and respectful. Support this historical water palace that has been renovated. It is located in the foothills of Mount Agung in beautiful Karangasem. Slow down and relax in beautiful surroundings.

We loved the location of the bungalow, it felt like the whole garden was ours. Views were magnificent. Upstairs bedroom felt amoung the tree tops even during the tropical downpour we felt quite safe. Showering outside in the marble bath, was a delight as was bathing in our own plunge pool in the clear water of the Ganges spring.

There would be some would think it was too dark inside, but 6 of the glass walls open out. There would be some who would say Staff were a little slow clearing away breakfast, or the bungalow needed a bit of an update. We loved just being left to ourselves.There would be some who would say location too far, 4 hrs from Seminyak but we had stayed on the beach front at Candi Dasa the previous few days so 45mns drive for us. To all those negative people , if you love Seminyak or big hotels just stay in Seminyak, you probably won't enjoy it.

Love the uniqueness of the location and the accomodation, also having the Palace to ourselves in the evening. The staff were very attentive, friendly, responsive, helpful and reliable with communication.

It would be a difficult to impossible stay for people with mobility issues, as the bed is up a spiral staircase on the second floor. This was not a problem for us, but should be considered.

Loved staying here, a very special place. My villa was the lion (smaller of the two) . The vibe is amazing, with the cleansing water for swimming. It felt very spiritual. I wanted to experience the water palace without all the tourists. I certainly did that in the evenings and early morning before the gate opened. The staff were helpful and kind . I Will definately be back hopefully soon. Worth the trip and so much beautiful scenery on the way there. 💕

Exclusive, old, traditional indian style villa, situated inside the Tirta Gangga temple complex. I was allowed to visit the temple when it was closed for visitors. I felt like a princess. Villa is like from the previous century, decorated with indian style art.

A bit too old stylish. It would be good to add more modern amenities and to do some renovation, although the charm of the villa lies precisely in its antiquity.

situated actually in the water palace - two villas (Marble and Lion) - we tried both - Marble is double the size of Lion - with better bed, table seating, plunge pool - however you only need book one night at the water palace - to see the place before / after the instagramers have gone (7am - 6pm) - so Lion is adequate for half the price - NOTE on both villas the showers are weak (we took shower gel into plunge pool) and the breakfast is very basic - overall the villas were reasonable clean with the basic requirements and the staff were pleasant

make sure you arrange transport for your departure before you arrive (the local drivers will rip you off) - Lempuyang 'Gates of Heaven' are close enough to scooter or taxi (don't fall for the rip off of a guide) - also don't be tempted by the 'kings palace' (rubbish) - but the 'lontar village' is interesting (albeit minimal)

It's set in spectacular scenery within the water palace. At night, you get to see the water palace after it is closed to the public. Makes it extra special. The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We organised transport from the airport to take us there and the manager came in person to pick us up. It's about 2.5 hrs from Denpasar. .

Nothing not to like.

The location in the Water Palace gardens was excellent . Could stroll morning and evening when there weren't so many people but also good for peole watching. The way the 3 double doors all opened up to bring the outside in. The uniqueness of the place. Rustic, quaint, Balinese and atmospheric.

There was some concern over getting back in the palce grounds at night if you went out for dinner etc. It actually wasn't an issue but communication could have been better. For security you couldn't lock the entry door when going out for the day. Be prepared for visits from lovely butterflies, dragonflies, snails, ants and other insects and creatures. They are all part of the experience.

This is my favourite place in Bali. I come here to retreat from the world, swim in the sacred pools and rest. It is amusing watching pretty women in floaty frocks pose for photos during the day but once tourists leave it is astoundingly special. I am grateful for this place.

The villa needs a little maintenance- the hose on downstairs toilet broke and some lights weren’t working. But on the whole this is perfect for me and my husband.

Love this place more every time, and have visited many times. The location is perfect: who would not love to have a water garden for a front lawn? And the cottages are uniquely charming. The decor is so not hotel! They are delightfully idiosyncratic, and always make me wish I knew the owner. Windra, our host, is always delightful and goes out of his way to make our stay perfect. It is convenient having a reasonably good restaurant with a great view right next door. we cannot wait to go back again!
