CLV Hotel & Villa, Bedugul – lakeside space with mixed reviews
Lakeside base above the clouds
Set on Jl. Cemara in Candi Kuning, a few minutes’ walk from Ulun Danu Beratan temple and Lake Beratan, CLV Hotel & Villa sits in cool mountain air rather than beach heat. Guests describe waking up to sunrise over the lake and fresh mountain breezes, with the restaurant and rooftop bar framing broad views of the water and surrounding hills.
Villas made for groups and families
Accommodation centres on 2- and 3‑bedroom villas spread across the grounds, plus rooms in a 2‑storey, 3‑bedroom villa. Rooms are bright and modern, with flat‑screen TVs, safes and en suite bathrooms; some add balconies and garden or lake views. Living areas, minifridges and tea and coffeemakers are shared, and several reviewers highlight small kitchen corners, sofas and private bathrooms as handy for longer stays or work trips.
Location: temple walks and cool nights
The hotel sits an 11‑minute walk from Ulun Danu Beratan temple and about 3 km from the Bali Botanical Gardens, with Handara gate and other Bedugul sights an easy drive away (reviews mention about 5 minutes by car to “Pura”). Many guests call the location “perfect” or “central”, with parking spaces beside most villas and scooter or car rental assistance from reception. Cool, often chilly nights are part of the deal at this altitude, and several travellers note they would have appreciated heating.
Comfort vs. condition: a split experience
Several recent guests praise tidy, comfortable rooms, good water pressure and peaceful, dark nights ideal for sleep. Others report very different stays: “very tired and old” villas, peeling paint, noisy beds, torn sheets, smelly sofas and even holes in walls. Humidity is a recurring concern; multiple reviews mention damp air, musty odours, visible mold and a “dusty smell”, especially in less‑used villas and in the main lobby ceiling.
Food, breakfast and that rooftop view
Breakfast is included and varies from “lovely” and “satisfying” to “average” with a limited buffet and tasteless soup. Lunch and dinner are available from a menu many find fresh and nicely presented, while one vegan guest felt restricted to hot rice and lentils at a fly‑troubled buffet. Despite these differences, the lake view from the rooftop restaurant draws consistent praise.
Service, price and who it suits
Service is a strong point: staff are widely described as kind, welcoming and flexible, even reallocating rooms when bookings lapse or helping organise scooter rental. Pricing is often called affordable and good value—especially for spacious villas, solo backpackers and work or hiking trips—yet a few guests feel the 800+++ thousand rupiah range is too high for the current condition and maintenance level.
Travellers who prioritise space, cool climate and walking access to Ulun Danu Beratan over flawless finishes will get the most from CLV Hotel & Villa, while those sensitive to humidity, aging decor or mold may prefer a fresher alternative.
