The noise of construction was not great. Very noisy.

Villa Felix was beautiful and the view great! Restaurants and spa also great! Stunning shared pool

Everything was great.

An amazing view from a room with an incredible layout. We loved the sliding doors that opened up the main room to the pool deck.

Nothing at all

I loved how the property was remote, and at the same time completely connected to civilization

At the Senja Restaurant I ate the best satay ayam with beautiful views.

We share the place with locals and during new year they were lit loud firecracker. Quite stressed for the dogs but the kids and us enjoyed it. No big problem.

The room, the view, the pool (we tried the common pool next to our room which is a mini infinity pool with layover deck and the lingga pool which require shuttle), the food and the staff are AMAZING. They provide towels for shower and swim. They allowed me to bring my two dogs along. We regret that we did not come earlier and unable to extend since we need to go back to Jakarta

I would suggest adding some hygiene products like (toothpaste and toothbrush).

Everything was great, staff was super friendly and helpful, I liked facilities and great that they have a lot of things to do, they offered extra activities.

It was the small little things that would make a difference between good and excellent. For example, I wish that there was: 1. Floor mats for the bathrooms. 2. Disposal shower caps. 3. House slippers.

The Sumberkima team is wonderfully responsive. I also had a wonderful healing massage at the spa that really help me unwind. Serti my masseuse was excellent.

It's quite remote and more arid than expected.

Amazing villa with pool and great views. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

1. Sometimes the smell in the bathroom of Luwih 1 was bad - I'd say typically Bali... 2. The gym could be better - maths there were really dirty

The view from the top of the hill to both sides is amazing! I also liked the breakfast and the massage with this really special view. The gardens everywhere are also super beautiful. All in all it's really a good place to chill and relax.

If you are looking to explore the northeast of Bali there’s no better place then Sumberkima Hill. It will exceed all your expectations. The rooms are spacious and the beds are great. Outdoor shower and a bathtub with views on volcanos and valleys. Staff is incredibly friendly. It’s a the best place in Bali to get away from the crowds and enjoy the peace and nature. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely come back.

By the way I think the food is not so well, don’t order fish.

It is a long distance from airport, it took me 5 hours to get there. The resort located in the mountain, there is a 3km distance to the beach or the village, you could go to the beach only by private car and the resort will help you to reserve it (go to the beach is not free,the charge is IDR 50000 one way).it is so difficult to go outside by foot. Well the star is so beautiful in the night and you could enjoy a quiet holiday. All the staff is quite friendly. Thank all the staff, you are the most lovely people.

No private entrance, no gate to villa/property. Sumberkima has extended quite a bit over the last years, making it a large complex area now which feels busy.

Spacious villa with 250m2 floor space, great views

Having to leave.

Our villa was beautiful, the pools were beautiful, the restaurants were beautiful, the staff were amazing.

Unfortunately, construction is going on almost everywhere at the moment and there is nothing worse than starting the day with construction noise. But we were also unlucky because the construction site was right next to us. The tours offered are top or flop. Some not at all to use and even if they were free would be too expensive. But others are very good. But the retreat has to offer something to the guests. They do that well, even if many things could be better. Longer than 5-7 days I would not recommend, because the choice in the restaurants becomes boring at some point, especially for non-vegetarians!!! During the rainy season it is of course much greener and more splendid but then it rains continuously.

We were in Villa El Nido for 7 days and it was absolutely gorgeous and exactly like the photos. With all villas you have to be clear about the following points: 1. it is an open concept, so there will be critters in the bathroom! 2. the retreat is very, very remote and you have virtually no chance of getting anywhere unless you rent a scooter and drive in life-threatening traffic. There is hardly any other chance than to eat in one of the three restaurants! There is a free shuttle for that. Nevertheless it is an absolutely perfect place to switch off and really start from scratch.

We stayed at the incredible Murai villa. 4 days of pure bliss. We opted to stay here instead of Ubud and other parts of Bali. The restaurants in the retreat are both amazing. The staff are exceptionally kind and attentive. The retreat is able to set up scuba diving and other fun activities, if you choose do so such things. The private pool in the Villa itself is situated perfectly under the sun’s path with amazing views of the ocean and the volcano. I highly recommend Sumberkima Hill Retreat. It may be far from the airport or other parts of Bali, but it is absolutely worth it.

It’s our 9th time at this hotel. We always take different villas and all of them are awesome! Again and again thank you for this unique place and also for vegan options in your restaurant’s menu :)

The gym is very modest. The area in August is very dry and the vegetation is very different from the pictures used to advertise the property. Other than that, the resort fulfilled our expectations.

We stayed in Villa Asmara. Great Villa, stylish and with great view of the bay area. Personnel was super attentive and responsive to our needs. The food in the Suma restaurant was very good and not expensive. We did not try the other restaurant.

There were no bedside lights on each side of the bed so the main Villa lights had to be on when reading. All experiences were designed for couples or families so they were much more expensive for singles.

Staff, food and setting. The hike and snorkelling tour were also big highlights.

Stayed in August 2023

We will hesitate to come back… due to the lack of reactivity of the staff, not at premium standards. Ex. breakfast restaurant service was always extremely long (even when ordering it in our room) Ex. Long and not tailor made check-out when leaving early in the morning.

We will come back… for the comfortable villas and amazing views from all swimming-pools.

The surroundings were very dry There is a private villa next door- people very very loud

We stayed in pipit villa, the view were amazing

Too many ants!😅 the bathroom in nature is very nice but ants get into everything even your tooth brush. Not sure how this can be managed to reduce them:) also too many mosquitos i would recommend to place something additional to the mosquito net at least in the bedroom to keep them away, the smell or mosquito spray or cream. The public pools can be improved with better seating space and benches with matts. Not sure if there are bathroom facilities next to them but it didn't seem like it and that also can be useful. Extending also restaurant service to the pool would be nice. The bed mattress is a little hard can be smoother and the pillows can be thinner to avoid neck bending too much while sleeping :)

I stayed in Asmara 2. The villa is amazing and very spacious. Everything is very clean and it is furnished even if you would like to cook yourself. I love the level of privacy it has and the respect for privacy the staff has. They sent me a message asking if it was ok for someone to film with a drone the vicinity around the villa. Thank you for being considerate in asking. Also the pool is amazing as well as the view. It is perfect for morning yoga and so peaceful and relaxing to the eyes and sit around in the afternoon reading your book or just swimming enjlying the view. The yoga sessions are also amazing and their location so great. The staff is very kind and accommodating. It was such a great place to stay in i highly recommend the villa.

The only complaint I have is that our stay was too short!

Loved the location, our private wooden hut, Senja Restaurant and the massages! Just a perfect experience from start to finish. Even the little things are taken care of such as unlimited filtered water, organic shampoo and body wash, etc. We didn't make use of the pools, the second restaurant or the private shuttle service but Sumberkima Hill Retreat has it all without making it feel like a typical busy tourist resort. A truly relaxing experience with wonderful staff, amazing food, awesome accommodation and superb views! From someone who stays far away from big hotels and resort style holidays this retreat has become one of my favourite spots in Bali - if not THE favourite spot!

This is the most beautiful hotel I’ve stayed in. The room, the views, the swimming pools, the staff, the restaurants, the SPA & yoga classes….everything was PERFECT !
