Sumberkima Hill Private Villa Retreat

After communicating by whatsapp with someone from Sumberkima Hills Retreat, we knew which villa would be appropriate for us to book. We are in our 70s and have some mobility issues. The villa was easy to access for us and to go to the pools, as well as the restaurants, we could book a shuttle, so we would not have to walk up and down the hills. The problem was that once you were driven there, you were required to walk down, or up many steps. This is just to make people with mobility issues aware of access!! The whole property is truly beautiful and there are amazing views from everywhere you look. From our villa (Asmara 3), we could see the hills and volcanoes in Java, as well as the ocean. At night we witnessed the sunset, and in the morning the sunrise. Taking a taxi down the hills is expensive, so we did not leave the retreat during our 3 night stay.

What can I say this is my second stay here and each time the place is amazing from the villa to pool to the surrounding area just amazing and well thought out. The Euro Restaurant was ok but the Indonesian Restauant overlooking sunset was out of this world. Service was excellent. Reception was interesting asking for same docs again even though were repeat guests and have already given our documents weird. Welcome drink needs an upgrade lol

The best! Can’t recommend highly enough

Very relaxing peace of mind

Amazing views. Stylish spacious rooms. Absolutely beautiful pools. Great food and not expensive at both restaurants. I didn't really like that they permit dogs in the accommodation and around the pool.

If your expectation is what they portray in the photos (a retreat with luxury vibes) please do not come here. Food & views were good. Staff was accommodating switching us from one mediocre villa to another ant infested one… But please know, it is NOT what it looks like in the photos. There’s no jungle & retreat vibe here. The photos cast visuals of a luxury experience, with wellness vibes. Instead we found a soulless, spread out random plot of farm land. Rooms filled with insects and smelly “clean” towels. This really really isn’t luxury or even close to being what they advertise… We left after one night. Was the absolute lowlight travelling across Bali for the month. Waste of a lot of money and three of our days in Bali with travel.

Beautiful spacious fantastic view. Great knowledgeable staff. Very relaxing. Great sunsets.

What a wonderful place to stay. Pick ups from Denpasar are arranged as well as snorkeling and temple trips. The two restos were fabulous!

This is a very interesting property….driving up the very narrow dirt road…we had the feeling that we made a wrong turn! Many private villas that compromise the resort….restaurants were exceptional- food and service outstanding and the spa was next-level!!! It was a bonus for us that we had one of only a handful of bungalows without a private pool….which meant we enjoyed nearly all to ourselves the 30 meter infinity edge pool with view of the sea and Java’s volcanoes ….was better than a private villa!!!! Not to be missed is the snorkeling day trip out to Menjangan island….clarity of water, so many live corals and incredible amounts of fish….gave us a bit of hope for our planet! Only downside is the vast amount of noise emanating from multiple nearby mosques….sounded like they were competing with one another…..🌠

Beautiful spot and great view

We loved our stay at Sumberkima Hill! We stayed in Villa Singa and it had a beautiful view of the sunrise and the sunset. Watching the sunrise from the balcony in the morning is the absolute best. And you get to hear all the roosters sounding off telling everyone it is time to wake up. Our villa was right next to the Suma restaurant, which was our favorite. The wait staff are all so welcoming and friendly. There are a lot of mosquitos so bring your mosquito repellent.

This was one of my favourite places in & around Bali after being to Bali 3x!! WOW I'm so grateful we 'happened' upon this property on Expedia. I wish I would have stayed for 1 week. We stayed in one of the cabins for 1 night and it was phenomenal. Absolutely stunning views, delicious food at 2 restaurants that was very reasonably priced. Excellent spa with also great pricing. Morning yoga was absolutely excellent for only 100k. Will absolutely be coming back and inquiring about hosting a retreat here!

Wonderful villa with great view. Lots of birds flying around the area. Wonderful. Rooms were clean and so were the sheets. However food prices are on the high side and limited selection. Got stomach flu from the Gohu Tuna that was served in the full moon special at the segar restaurant. Will visit again but will stick to cooked stuff.

Excellent property that unfortunately seemed unloved and uncared for that left the overall stay a little disappointing. Good scenic view from property. Food from hotel restraints was truly poor - some of it we left unate. A ten minute drive to Warung de’LeKong is definitely worth it where the food, cleanliness and welcome were the exact opposite- superb.

Thats very unsafe place to live and the staff is terrible

I love this area, it’s much quieter and bland in with the local village and people. The cabins are great and the views are excellent. The only thing is that the cabins can get bit too hot, better ventilation or more sufficient fan would make lots of difference. The staff was without fault. Very happy overall.

The cabin we stay had a fabulous view. Putu our staff is very friendly and communicative. We get his service and response instantly. We originally planned only 2 nights and ended up staying 7 nights and will definitely come back again.

This was an amazing and relaxing place to stay. I wish I would have gotten a villa with a pool though.

The property is really gorgeous and the villas are stunning. I think in a few years it will become something else entirely as the area is still being developed. For now, the services they offer (yoga, spa, restaurant, experiences) could use some improvement and the staff could benefit from being properly trained in these services and better trained in hospitality. There's also not much to do in the area, other than be in the retreat and eat at their restaurant and book their "experiences". So the services need to be really good, and right now they are just average. As far as experiences, we did the baby coral planting and that was really unique and memorable (A bit short in my opinion, I kind of wanted to snorkel and explore longer as it was so beautiful). We also did the Mt. Ijen hike. It was very cold and very dusty (so, prepare for that), we had to hike at night to get to the crater and the view was so beautiful, which made it worth it, but it was definitely challenging. We didn't appreciate that we were told the trip was private (and paid for a private tour) but our driver brought someone else to join us. We didn't necessarily care, but just an example of proper training in hospitality. Overall, a good experience and I think I'd come back in a few years with a larger group and rent out one of the big villas, because it really is gorgeous and they have a beautiful property. My feedback is meant for them to improve.

Only stayed here for one night, we wish we stayed for a whole week. Amazing service and beautiful views, would highly recommend anyone to stay here!!
