Pinggan Glamping Hill

Overview of Pinggan Glamping Hill

The drive up to Pinggan Glamping Hill is part of the story here: guests reach it via a winding mountain road on the caldera rim of the Kintamani highlands, in Desa Pinggan, Bangli regency, with Mount Batur and Lake Batur laid out below. Traveloka's listing places the property at Banjar Pupuan Sari - a village setting built around cool mountain air and volcanic scenery, not beach resorts. Just 4 units make up the whole operation, so the experience stays intimate next to the larger glamping resorts scattered elsewhere around Kintamani.

A "Preferred Partner Plus" badge sits on the listing, Traveloka's marker for properties with a track record of consistent standards, and guest reviews back it up: they are very positive, a strong result for a small hillside site. That access road comes up again and again in guest feedback, so this suits travellers happy to navigate a careful drive in exchange for a quieter stay at altitude.

Elevation is really the defining feature of this stretch of Bali. The caldera rim around Pinggan and Songan climbs well above the island's coastal towns, and it's that height which delivers the cooler evenings and open sightlines over the Batur caldera that guests keep mentioning. It also explains the switchback roads leading in - reviewers consistently call the trade-off worth it for the view.

Room Types at Pinggan Glamping Hill

A hot water jacuzzi is the feature that sets some of this property's units apart from typical Kintamani glamping tents, and it comes paired with a private pool on a portion of the 4 units here. The rest are simpler tent-style setups without that extra, but the core in-room list holds steady across every unit: private bathroom with shower, comfortable bedding, air conditioning, a work desk and Netflix access - a fuller spec sheet than many small highland glamping sites offer.

Traveloka's listing doesn't sort the 4 units into named tiers, so there's no base-versus-upgrade ladder to compare against - just two configurations built around the same essentials. With so few units in total, it's worth double-checking which configuration you've actually booked before travel, since pool access is the main variable.

Units without a private pool

These units keep to the shared essentials - air conditioning, private bathroom with shower, comfortable bedding, a work desk and Netflix - without the pool or jacuzzi add-on. They suit anyone whose priority is the elevated Kintamani setting itself rather than in-room water features.

Units with a private pool and jacuzzi

Only a subset of the 4 total units carry the private pool and hot water jacuzzi combination, and that scarcity means the configuration can be booked out well before the rest of the property. Anyone set on the jacuzzi should flag it at the time of booking rather than assuming it's the default.

Facilities and Amenities

Round-the-clock room service is unusual at a 4-unit property this far up the caldera rim, and it's paired here with a 24-hour front desk - both aimed at guests timing an early Mount Batur sunrise trek or pulling in late off the winding access road. An on-site restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the lighter side of the offering runs to free WiFi, lobby coffee and tea service, and shared relaxation areas outside the individual units.

• Restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner
• 24-hour room service
• 24-hour front desk
• Free WiFi
• Coffee/tea in the lobby
• Communal relaxation areas
• Parking on site
• Netflix access in rooms
• Luggage storage

Some room types bundle breakfast in, others charge it as an add-on, so it's worth checking which applies before arrival. Check-in falls between 2:00 PM and 10:00 PM, check-out between 7:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and the listing notes the property will arrange early check-in or late check-out on request ahead of time.

Most small glamping operations tucked into remote highland settings staff daytime hours only, which makes the always-on front desk and room service here a meaningful point of difference for anyone arriving off-schedule after the drive up, or heading out before dawn for the trek.

Location and Getting There

Most guests will be arranging a private transfer for this one rather than relying on public transport, given how far up the caldera rim the property sits above the base of the mountain. Pinggan Glamping Hill is positioned in the Kintamani highlands near Mount Batur and Lake Batur, in Bangli regency in central-north Bali - and the access road up gets described repeatedly in Traveloka's guest reviews as "very winding," so self-drivers should build in extra time and caution, particularly after dark. Guests generally rate the location well in Traveloka's review breakdown, weighing the highland scenery against the more remote drive compared with South Bali's beach areas.

Travellers arriving from elsewhere in Indonesia or overseas can compare options through flights with Traveloka before making the trip up to Kintamani, and those building a highland-focused day around Mount Batur can browse things to do around Kintamani and Mount Batur for sunrise treks and volcano tours nearby.

A driver who already knows the winding, climbing route tends to make the approach far more manageable than attempting it solo - especially relevant for an early sunrise-trek departure, when visibility on the mountain roads is at its lowest.

Dining at Pinggan Glamping Hill

Meals at the on-site restaurant run breakfast through dinner, with 24-hour room service filling any gaps outside standard hours - handy for guests heading out on an early Mount Batur sunrise trek or rolling back late from a highland tour. Reviewers are generally positive about the food, a solid result given the added logistics of sourcing ingredients at a remote highland property, compared with the more built-up tourist infrastructure of South Bali.

Between meals, the lobby's coffee and tea service offers a lighter option - a small touch, but a useful one at a property this size, where there typically isn't a second or third dining venue to fall back on the way there is at some of the larger Kintamani resorts nearby.

Why Stay at Pinggan Glamping Hill

Quiet and small-scale is the whole point here. Rather than a large resort, Pinggan Glamping Hill delivers an elevated, caldera-rim setting near Mount Batur and Lake Batur, paired with in-room comforts - air conditioning, private bathrooms, Netflix access - that aren't guaranteed at glamping properties this size. Four units means a more personal, lower-key stay, and the "Preferred Partner Plus" status alongside its strong guest reviews both point to consistent service despite the remote location.

The trade-off worth weighing against other highland stays is straightforward: a smaller, quieter property with a harder-to-reach access road, versus a larger resort closer to the main Kintamani road. For travellers chasing that caldera-rim outlook over Mount Batur and Lake Batur without resort-scale crowds, the combination of a tiny unit count and a consistently strong review score is the main draw. Anyone comparing against other Bali highland stays can weigh that trade-off directly.

Tips for Booking Pinggan Glamping Hill on Traveloka

The strong guest reviews and "Preferred Partner Plus" badge on this listing reflect a track record worth knowing about before you book, but the practical details matter just as much given how small the property is.

• Only 4 units exist in total, so lock in dates early for peak periods rather than counting on last-minute availability - especially if the pool-and-jacuzzi configuration is the draw.
• Pool access isn't universal across the units - confirm which configuration you're booking rather than assuming.
• Breakfast inclusion depends on room type; check whether it's bundled in or needs adding as a paid extra.
• The caldera-rim access road is consistently described as winding in guest reviews, so build in extra time, particularly for an evening arrival.
• Standard check-in/check-out windows can be shifted earlier or later by contacting the property directly ahead of time.
