Centrally located. Large functional rooms. Great breakfast with the best coffee in our 22 day Indonesian trip.

Best in the area, at least according to our trusted guide.

Wanted to stay another day to unwind.

Marginal airport hotel

Why is this a "Coffee" place? My wife had to specially ask for a cup of coffee.

It gets cold up there.

For Glampers. Not a real outdoor experience.

Hot springs are a nice twist to the resort experience. Went on the Menjangan snorkel tour from their dive shop. A bit disappointed how short it was with no visit to the island. I would pick another resort that is closer to the island with a better tour.

Centally located. With our program, a driver picked us up and its location was a negative. Traffic in Ubud was terrible, so a hotwl outside of town would be better.

Predictable quality.

A bit isolated on the south side of town with very little withing walking distance. Needed to take the hotel shuttle to the downtown area. If you want to stay at a resort (with a respectable restaurant) and only go on day trips to the island, it is fine. I would have preferred a hotel in town to get more variety in restaurant options and have some shopping opportunities.

A much better tubing experience. The rapids were perfect: fun but not really dangerous.

Beautiful. Worth an hour visit

Nice view. We had lunch at Acala Adhum Cafe on hill which was a very nice restaurant and good place to take in the view.

Did not do this. Annual Flower festival in town clogged all the roads. We got stuck in traffic and did not have time.

Nice relatively easy hike. Sunrise and view was okay. A bit crowded.

Great looking waterfall and the most iconic ones in Indonesia. We went only halfway down since it was the afternoon and very hot. We don't know if it would be worth it going to the bottom because there are alot of steps and he view halfway is magnificent. Lots a tourist shops and the touristy selfie stations.

Like a Disney Epcot site which is interesting, but is polished ultra-clean. Very kid friendly. Lots of places to take selfies. Temple is seen on all the Bali brochures.

Airport arrival was pretty obvious, so help was probably not needed.

Great place to visit. Moderate crowds,

Not very crowded but definitely worthwhile. Great overview of the cultures in Sumatra. Our guide was a great compliment.

Building is obviously important. Important site with many Indonesian visitors. Throne room was crowded and main thing to see inside with not much more.

Went early in morning and pretty much only visitors. Only mosque that we saw from the inside in all on Indonesia, so important because of that, but most mosques are usually empty inside. The burial area was a nice plus. Glad that we went.

Interesting, but small.

Fun washing the elephants and then going on a short trek through the jungle. The reason to go to Tangkahan.

Saw a small waterfall near the river before having lunch on the river. Waterfall was okay but loaded with visitors, so not so special. Tubing ride on river was boring because the river was slow.

Orantatangs. Park guides are top notch and lead you straight to the wildlife.

Camping was great experience.

Saw this from the distance. Looked okay. We wished that the driver stopped to get a nice view of Lake Toba. Seeing the Patung Yesus statue would have been nice. We saw it only from a distance.

Saw the Batak houses several places. This site was the most touristy and was fairly crowded. Guide showed the execution area was very knowledgeable. Other tourists listened in.

Very touristy, but very entertaining. Seeing Indonesian tourists dancing with the puppets is priceless. Only one puppet was working, the other just shaked with no arm motions, so a minor let down. Everybody posing for selfies at the two puppets before the dance detracted from the overall vibe. They needed more puppets for selfies.

Nice tomb. Guide also went to another tomb on the island (Museum Huta Bolon Simanindo) which was nice

Did not go to this place. Read about it online: it was a farm, mostly selling stuff with a tourist (Western food) buffet. We went to Sigurgur Beach for a nice relaxing lunch instead.

One of the big 3 must-sees in Jogja. Climbing up the temple is a must. The flow of people was well managed and you could get some alone time with the temple.

Stuck at the Mimpi resort. Nice place to relax. Not really a place to explore like a local beach would be.

Did not go. Driver did not take us there. Went to Medut Temple instead. Did not have enough time to do everything on itinerary.

A great complement to Borobudur temple. Mendut temple is smaller but the environment and statue inside was nicer.

A must see. Park guide was awesome.

Part of the Joyja palace area. Probably the best part. See palace review for more details.

Snorkeling was great but it was a short tour (9am-3pm). Only two snorkeling events, which was plenty for the day, lasting 30-45 minutes each. Lunch on boat, boring. A much better tour would have include an island visit to stretch our legs and have lunch. Make it an 8am-4pm tour or start the tour from a closer hotel.

Motocycle ride to site was fun. The hiking past the splashing water of the falls was unique (at least for our trip). The 360 degree waterfall canyon makes it impossible to capture the awesome experience with a camera.

Went to burial area, but it was closed. Put on traditional clothes just to see the few (very average) things that were open. Stetched out to 30 minutes with no real walking. Waste of time.

Like this even better than Borobodur.

Did not do this at sunrise. There was a traffic jam going to the site and the jeeps were not moving. Instead, we went to King Kong hill later in the morning to see the panarama view. With only a few people on the platform it was much more personal. Worked for us and view still awesome.

Went here in the dark to see the sunrise. Only a few people on the rim, so very nice. Since it was dark, we could see the red glow on the lava.

Ijen was closed. Driving there the day before, it was impressive to see from a distance. Driving through the coffee plantation on mountain was fun. You need a tour of a coffee plantation in the area (or just a stop at a very nice coffee resto). Make sure people have a backup plan for sites to see that day.

Did not go here. Went to Labuhan Kebo Waterfall instead which was awesome and was 5 stars. Less crowded, not touristy and you could go swimming. More famous Red Coral waterfall nearby (but didnt see). I recommend getting a hotel in the area and spending an entire day hiking the Munduk waterfalls and the surrounding clove farms.

Cancelled this.

Interesting but the Jogya palace was better

Nice restful museum with some local and european transplants artists. Owner was there and was very passionate adding interesting stories. Grounds were nice too.

If you want to see monkeys, go here. They are well fed, so not really very aggressive. Grounds and temples created a nice scene. Touristy, but worth it and definitely a highlight.

If you like a manicured garden trails, ziplines and selfies, this place is for you. Not a realistic coffee plantation or a rice terrace farm. Go to a real rice terrace and coffee plantation and avoid this overly crowded place. Doesn't check any of my boxes.

Did not go since it would be high tide for our visit. Instead went to Goa Gajah Temple which was very interesting.

Great dry cave. Its a small cave but fun since you need to put on a helmet and crawl a little. The local guide made it extra special.

Good if you are a goat and love to climb every hill that you see. Very windy and dry. View was nice but nothing compared to the Komodo island views. I would skip unless you want to see a sunset.

More of a beach destination that is great for kids. Local boat ride takes you to the dock and a nice small beach with a stand selling food. Nice to hang out there and have a picnic. Going to the cave was pleasant, but an average experience. Its a short hike with sandals. Cave floor has been changed to "an ampitheater" with steps so that everyone (it was crowded) has space to leave their towels and shoes. Kids love it and splash around constantly in the salty water. The entrance is large enough that the cave pool is adquately lit. Humid and stuffy air. We limited ourselves to a 5 min swim but could not get a cave picture without a kid or a swimmer trying to get a selfie.

Millions of boats waiting for the bats to come out. A party atmosphere.

Really pink. Your photos will appear photoshopped.

Best place for dragons. We went in late afternoon and they were active. Watchout.

We went two days to the islands at various stops. Nonstop A+ sites. Everybody is going out to the same places so get a big boat that is fast to allow you to spend more time at each site. The group from your boat will be mixed with 100 people from other boats when snorkeling, on the beach. Still it is possible to get a personal experience.

Very crowded airport. Took us straight to correct areas.

A beautiful, private resort. The villas were gorgeous, large and very private. One of the best beaches we saw on Bali!

It was beautiful and the guides were very experienced. We did not paddle once, which was a disappointment for our family.

This was an amazing experience with our large family. The food was top notch and the location and beauty of the resort was amazing. We even hiked to a rice field and plowed a field with some oxen. A highlight of our entire trip!

Our best snorkeling adventure. We felt very safe with a mix of swimming expertise in our family group. The guide was fantastic with doing small training swims first. Excellent!

We felt that the beauty of the islands was amazing. The island hopping and snorkeling wasn’t communicated as well as it could have been. And the snorkeling was dangerous and not safely led.

Great location and staff!! Friendly staff!

Secluded! Away from all the hustle and bustle, tucked away in the forest!! Great for a peaceful, chill getaway

Amazing staff! Clean, had a gym and pool.

What a location, very close the beach!

It was a tough hike and ultimately worth it to watch the sunrise!

A gorgeous hotel with lavish pool, fabulous food and attentive staff!

Fantastic location and luxurious!

This was a very special place and an incredible team showed me the wonders of the orangutans, probiscis monkeys and Sun Bears. I highly recommend a visit to this mind blowing lodge!

A perfect location with a lovely pool and kind staff! My suite was insanely perfect!

The hotel was far from Medan and so I couldn't see anything, basically stuck in a hotel

The hotel was over 1.5 hours from Jakarta so I couldn't even see anything in Jakarta, I was basically stuck in a hotel

Just fabulous! I learned so much about the rain forest, its creatures and thoroughly enjoyed this experience!

Great guide got me through the airport and to my flight. She was really wonderful!

The chef was wonderful and the guides made this adventure so incredible

Gorgeous temple but the drive took hours to get there

This wasn't organized and there was no guide

This was a long drive and then boat ride, no history was given about the cave it wasn't the best

I think the folks at the sanctuary need to be able to explain more about the elephants and the natural surroundings

Nothing special here

Staff was extremely friendly and accomadating, The Included breakfast was good and the grounds were parklike and well maintained. Perfect little hotel.

Great pool areas, great breakfast and very helpful staff.

meet at curb and escorted right through check in to security gate, very helpful

nice maintained spot

fun experience to see how some dishes were made

very unique village with unique cemetery.

I was impressed by mask maker skill and preserving old method of making mask,

amazing skill to make the kris daggers with minimal tools doing it the traditional way

nice little village with glimpses of how it used to be.

beautiful and well managed fields, amazing

very special visit that is worth the many slippery steps to experience.

interesting but a bit of a tourist trap, but well maintained and worth the visit.

skipped this one

skipped this one as well, I am checking amazing as all tours have beet to this point but can't continue without checking boxes

quite a large complex
