It’s a lodge in the great outdoors in the mountains. Of course, there is no hot water flowing out like in a hotel or the bedding is bleached, but you can drink the water that comes down from the mountains in the spacious rooms and the best private terraces in Bali. I was surprised on the first day, but the falling stars, magical mountains, and jungle made me forget all that.

We were in Ubud before and had the exact opposite experience here. Very quiet, no tourists. If you want to experience nature and the best food, this is the place for you.Simon is excellently able to impart some cultural knowledge. Thank you for your patience with our poor English.The room is getting a bit old.But still the best memory of Bali.

Batukaru Mountain Farmstay is a refreshing change from the touristy attractions in Bali. We were blown away by the lush forestry and plants. When night falls, it's an experience to be surrounded by the sounds of nature.During our short stay here, we went on a guided hike through a rainforest with Arta. Interacting with him gave us meaningful insights into the Balinese culture that we wouldn't have gotten anywhere else on our trip. We also appreciate Simon for his regular check-ins to ensure we are comfortable there, as well as for sharing his Batukaru experience (which is quite an inspiration).Venturing out is easy with a scooter, and we went to a hotspring in a nearby town.It is also a perfect place to be with yourself for a while. It is rather easy to separate from most of the distractive things that are so common in our civilized world.And lastly, our happy spirits were accompanied by very happy and full bellies. The food that they served are typical Balinese, which we find delicious.We are so glad we found this place and highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to be closer to nature and the local people. Hope to be back one day!

When you feel adventurous and you are seeking cooler climate after hanging out too long in the beach. Head up to Mt. Batukaru and experience true Bali, its traditions, nature and clean air. Somewhere nearby this farm stay is Original Sioux Native American Teepee.

Great location, awesome host. And very good vegan food Indonesian with some unique flavors. (They have meat if you request it.)The only thing that wasn't perfect was that the towels and sheets seemed to be a bit damp and the light in the first hut we stayed in was very cold. Not so romantic...But that can easily be fixed with a few candles. 😊We also loved the whole concept behind this farmstay. Simon is doing great work for the community up there! Definitely worth supporting ❤️

We stayed at Batukaru Mountain Farmstay for 8 days and enjoyed every minute of it. What a lovely place! Very peaceful and remote, close to the jungle. The huts are basic, but have a nice atmosphere of authenticity. Simon is from the UK who came here some ten years ago to release some stress from his busy job in the IT business in England, and just never left. He's an excellent host who knows a lot about Balinese culture, religion and nature. He speaks perfect Balinese and everyone in the village knows him and treats him as family. His crew of local boys take care and serve delicious Balinese food. Not the standard tourist food, we had several vegetables we never ate before, like water spinach, fern, and cassave leaves. All fresh from the farm, and just lovely.Simon wants to do tourism in a different way than in most places in Bali. For him it’s important to preserve the Balinese culture and religion and make sure there’s a mutual respect and understanding between the locals and their guests, the tourists. And that’s a totally different approach from what you find in the main touristic areas in Bali. So if you’re looking for a beautiful and quiet place to stay, with respect and in balance with nature and culture, then Batukaru Farmstay is a wonderful place to go to, and highly recommended.

Perfect place to go if you need to runaway to the mountains for 11 days to level up your consciousness with nature and locals. The three jungle to table meals a day here will be the best you’ll have in Bali.

Gorgeous view with fresh air and nature all around. Adventuring hikes in the jungle close by. Very accessible break from city.

This place is a hidden gem! The farmhouse was beautiful and specious in the middle of the gardens with lots of privacy. Simon is an amazing host who make you feel very comfortable. You don't need to worry about water and meals, because everything is there. Would recommend to hike (you can do one by yourself) and other hiks by local guids. Simon also arranged transfers for us, wich is smart to do because it's a bit remote.The local people share everything they know about their culture and religion. Will definately come back!

I loved my time at Batukaru Farmstay. Simon was an amazing host who made sure I had everything I needed from the moment I arrived. He's very knowlegable in all things Balinese culture. If you want to experience village life in Bali than look no further.The accommodation is simple but comfortable, surrounded in thick, lush jungle. The food prepared daily by the boys if you choose to eat here is exceptional. Lunch and dinner were the highlights of my stay.It's the type of place to read a book, write a book or simply soak up the serenity. I'll most definitely be back.Cheers team for an enjoyable stay.

This is the perfect place to calm down and to get in touch with locals and the live at the countryside. The dormitory is very close to the rainforest and has its own "swimming pool" in a wild river nearby. The local food is awesome and the stuff is extremely kind. The host Simon has exchanged his busy live in England to bring some tourism to one of the most beautiful places on earth. He is a very nice guy and a perfect interface to the locals.

We came to Simon's place for just one night but decided to stay one more to experience true Bali. He took us to his village's Hindu ceremony. You live in an actual farm with coffee and cocoa trees everywhere. Food is perfect, prepared from local ingredients, the best we ate so far in Bali. But if you're afraid of animal noises at night or spider in the bathroom scares you, this is not a place for you. You go there to the jungle so be ready for it! We found the stay at Simon's genuinely wonderful!
