Amazing view with mountains ,catch the sunrise And when u lucky u got the fog underneath but that’s not all the time ,sunset not gonna get it ,breakfast are delicious great coffee u got option of vegan milk if u have lactose intolerance, hotel design is amazing except the door ,love the live band they did on weekend lovely rooftop and nice lovely fireplace seats while enjoying the view

The door of the rooms side way making hard to closed open and locked it ,and gap from door that not fully closed makes wind trap in between cause whistle sound inside room , no tv .

The view of the hotel was spectacular overlooking Mount Batur. The staff were very friendly, informative and very helpful where they helped arrange for our transportation around kintamani. We also love the breakfast options (plus point for muslim friendly menu), although not a wide range, but it was all great!

Since the room and the toilet is in one space (open concept), there was a bit of an unpleasent smell coming from the drain system within the room. It gets stronger during the day when its abit warm in the room, especially when there is no ac in the room. Other than that, everything else was great!

The two best things about Desa Oculus are the views and the staff. The views are even better in person - absolutely breathtaking! THERE IS NO AIRCON BUT ITS NOT NEEDED!!!! We stayed in early November - the way the room is built + an excellent fan actually keeps the room very cool. The staff are just delightful - and there is a day club attached to the hotel too which means honestly you don’t really need to go anywhere. Room service is quick and delicious too.

You need to have preorganised transport here OR be able to ride a motorbike. It’s difficult to get around otherwise - vertically not impossible (hotel can help find driver very easily) but would be easier if you can use motorbike.

The place is absolutely stunning, food is incredible, staff couldn't be more helpful and the views couldn't be better. This is the perfect place to stay in Kintamani. I went solo but the place would be incredible for couples, the rooms are a great size, gorgeous bath and shower in the room. Huge balcony with panoramic views, comfortable bed, free coffee, tea, fruit and biscuits in the room. The breakfast included is great: fruit plate plus a choice of great cooked options and a drink of your choice. I had two X two course dinners, cocktails, a beautiful 2 hour spa treatment and room service and still only spent around £100. The roof top pools are beautiful and it's easy to get mount Batur and all the local sites. It feels really high end but doesn't cost a fortune, honestly couldn't recommend it enough.

One tiny thing-the door to the room was very loud, I felt bad when sneaking out for my 3am hike! Otherwise perfect.

The Room, view, friendly staff, bed linen, duvet, food and cocktail Oculus located not far from Penelokan. You don't need to drive far down to find it. The room is spacious, modern lay out, all facing to lake Batur. I love the comfy bed. Decoration is also well tought, you will feel at home. We are still amaze with thir food. We tried all meal, from breakfast, lunch dinner. We will not go outside to find other food, because the menu is just perfectly prepared and well executed. From burger, tuna nicoise, until fish sando and ayam goreng rempah, we enjoyed all their daily promo including the happy hour cocktail, and we love the 1717 mb cocktail, they are just the best! Thank you Oculus Bali, all your friendly staff made our 2 nights staying with you, all friendly and helpful. This is just the best staycation ever, don't look anywhere else, book direct!

The flies (we can't blame on this)

This is the best hotel in the area. The staff are extremely accommodating and go above and beyond to make guests happy. The food is of great quality. The rooms and the view are absolutely to die for.

The rooftop sunbeams are a little worn. The hot water in the shower/bath is capped at 80 litres. You're allowed two complimentary bottles of filtered water daily (which is not enough for any normal human who needs to stay hydrated), then you're charged per refill. Aside from that, there's nothing to complain about.

Everything looks just like the photos, the view is incredible and the energy of Oculus is amazing. It was absolutely worth the money and I really had a very chilled time, exactly what I wanted, some peace and relaxing. Great spot to unwind and stare at nature. The staff were great! The building is really contemporary and does not intrude on nature, it flows with it. It’s great to see less cliche stays in Bali like Oculus. The staff were extremely responsive over WhatsApp and I think it is such a better idea than having old fashioned phones in the room. At the end of my stay, all the staff knew my name and my drink of choice. Felt so personalized- it was just lovely. I will visit again, for sure.

I loved everything. If I could say what could be improved it would be the menu options and food. The spa was good and the treatment was nice however compared to the rest of the hotel it also feels like it could be improved.

I love the vibe and style of the property. Stunning views of Mt. Batur and Lake Batur (when the clouds clear). We stayed just one night to do the Sunrise hike on Mt. Batur and it was prime location. Only 20 mins to the drop off point from hotel. Staff was very accommodating and welcoming. Overall was very practical for what we needed.

Not super vegan/végétarien friendly but a few options available. Luckily we eat fish and it was actually really good. No AC but not really needed as you are in the mountains plus you have a fan you can use if needed. You have limited hot water in the room but as we were two people and stayed on night. It was plenty for us. Just to be aware of that.

This is the best possible stay in the Kintamani area (10 min from Mt Batur), and the best one we’ve been so far in Bali and other parts of Indonesia. The rooms are incredible, the views of the mountains and the lake are breathtaking, and the staff friendliness and hospitality is top notch. Everything is high quality and we regret not spending more time there to enjoy the pool bar and the massages they offer. Mt Batur sunrise from here is a must! Special shout out to Diana who was super welcoming and engaging in conversations!

The views from the room and the restaurant and outdoor seating up stairs were great, as one could see both Mt Batur and Lake Batur in those views. The quality of food in the restuarant was exceptional. We had dinner and then breakfast next morning and the chef was cooking up very flavourful food

The water did not drain well in the shower cubicle, it tended to accumulate & some dripped into the toilet area which was adjacent and had a glass partition in between
