(1) We visited this temple in the morning and it was a perfect time to do it. Everybody said it's prettier in the afternoon for the sunset but gets really crowded and we are not big fans of standing in a line just to be able to take a shot, so we decided to do it first thing in the morning. We took a private driver from our hotel who charger about 8$US per an hour to take us around. And we really enjoyed our day as we got to do everything we wanted without waiting for others. To get into the temple will cost you around $3. There is a short walk through a little market with souvenirs, several fast food places and a convenient store. Took us less than an hour to walk around and take pictures. There was not a lot of people around so it was easy to move. Beautiful area with many photo opportunities. As a non Indonesian Hindu we were not allowed to go in the temple itself but we came quite close and it was amazing!
(2) This temple is usually included in Bali To-Do lists but I wasn't that impressed when we were there. It is pretty/scenic based on the location by the ocean but it was so sunny when we went that it felt too hot so that probably affected our experience. You can't really enter the temple but rather it is something you see cliffside. I believe sunsets are popular here but we visited during the daytime. There are a lot of stalls/marketplace that you will walk by when you are going back and forth from the entrance to the temple viewing area. There is an entrance fee.
(3) Amazing temple and Amazing view to the rocks and Sea! The sunset was unbelievable on this place! The Best I have ever seen!
(4) We didn't want to see pictures of the place before going, and the place was slightly above expectations. The views of the cliffs and the temples were very nice (not impressive though). Magnificent sunset - if not cloudy.
(5) I came here a few days ago. The journey to the temple was short and the view was amazing at the top of the temple. There we certain areas you can't go unless you are worshipping. Also, you are required to wear a sarong and if you don't have one, you can rent one. This template is a bit touristy but not as bad as Besikih temple. No guide is required to show you around either. Beware of the monkeys here. They are aggressive and will take anything shiny (like your sunglasses) or dangling from your bags (like stuffed toys on key chains). I saw a tourist get her keychain snatched off her backpack. There are shops in the parking lot but they don't actively ask tourists to purchase items such as at Pura Besasikih. I recommend that you come here for the amazing view, it is well worth it!
(6) This is one of the best temple on Bali for me. I recommend to see this famous temple for all visitors.
(7) This temple was very beautiful with lots of different sites to see within the grounds. It was very pretty and tranquil. \nAlthough there were lots of tourists, it didn’t feel too crowded. \nOur only complaint would be that the cafe/restaurant refused service due to being closed and it was only 3pm.
(8) The place is good for pictures but only from far as they don't allow you near the temple during high tide season. \nMay be it's more beautiful during sunset but we went there in the afternoon and it was really hot. \nNo doubt the pictures then out to be good because of the beach view but not worth spending time when you're on a short trip to Bali and hence can be skipped.
(9) A landmark in Bali. The temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide. Great place to take photograph and big waves, windy and relentless sun. So kindly prepare hat or umbrella if you go.\n\nThe area become commercialised and people are required to pay RP 60,000/person  to enter the area.  visitors will walk through a set of Balinese market-format souvenir shops which cover each side of the path down to the sea.
(10) What a beautiful temple located on a rock in the sea. During sunset it was very crowded, however, we managed to get a nice seat and a refreshing coconut drink. In the many shops around we hunted for sarongs and souvenirs. You have to bargain, then the price is quite okay. We want to go there one more time, but in the morning when it is calm and more romantic.
(11) This is the temple in the lake , the most beautiful temple in Bali, a must visit. Its located up north of Bali , however, worth the ride to it. It has a beautiful architecture and being inside the lake, the view is gorgeous. We happened to be there on the day of full moon night and there were prayers being offered in the evening in the temple by the locals.
(12) Entrance is 50k including the sarong you need to enter and you cant actually access the temple unless worshipping. Nonetheless, the views are beautiful, the cliffs with the flowering bushes and trees. The water is so blue. The carvings on the stone of the buildings, so interesting and intricate. And it's a great walk along the cliffs. Beware of the monkeys. We watched a women get a little too close to video and have her phone stolen. Lucky they threw it some fruit and it gave the phone back. There is about 8 warungs out front with a good variety of food and fresh coconuts.
(13) Highly recommend to get here early in the morning - will be just you in the temple. \nEverything is so peaceful. \nTake you time to walk around the temple, feeding Koi fishes. \n \nYou should departure from Ubud center at about 6AM jn the morning to avoid the traffic jam. I was stuck on the road for 30 mins, even I started going at 6AM.
(14) ere , But take a sunset photo here or other of the views was very beautiful and overall is good.很漂亮，寺建於懸崖上，有在巴厘島的寺廟很多，但是這是最有名的寺廟在巴厘島。您可以通過經過浪到寺廟，但是潮漲是太高，所以我們並沒有越過那裡看看。也有很多遊客在這裡，但拍攝日落的照片在這裡或其他的意見是非常漂亮，整體還是不錯的。
(15) I love this temple by the lake. Beautiful and peaceful. Despite rain there were quite a few visitors. Adjacent garden/park has some equipment for children to play on. Will come back later on a sunny day. The restaurant is mediocre. The buffet is a better value.
(16) Lets start with entry\n\napropriate footwear like all other temples, they have sarongs that they will loan to you if you don't have one free of charge.\n\nMonleys have been known to grab tourist's bags sunglasses etc, utilise common sense like you would anywhere else.\n\nGreat views of the sea and there is plentiful space to walk around the temple to avoid crowds\n\nBest temple in southern Bali and a must see
(17) We were very impressed by the magnificent beauty of the place. The path leading to the temple looks like the great wall of China.
(18) As suggested by other reviewers, we visited this temple before sunset! This temple was beautifully situated with water on all sides. And the most amazing was, the priests give holy water emanating from the temple which is sweet water whereas ocean water that surrounds the temple is all salty!\nYou can go local shopping after visiting the temple.
(19) One of the top cultural and beautiful sites in Bali, it's a long way (mostly because of traffic) from wherever you are staying. Like most places in Bali now you have to walk past numerous market shops before you reach the temple. Allow a couple of hours, take a sarong and sash if you plan to go into the temple, otherwise walk up the hill to one of the restaurants at the top, get a table with an exquisite view, order a drink and wait for nature to work it's magic. Soon you will see the beautiful Mata hari 'sunset,' with the temple in the foreground - gorgeous
(20) We visited in day time we enjoyed its entry as need to walk in water  you are allowed to  do worship \nExcellent place you will enjoy and love it
(21) One of the most suggestive places I visited in Bali, simply majestic.\nThe only thing I didn't like was that a lot of people shout and disrespect the place, and nobody does anything to remind em that this is supposed to be a quiet place... Had an argument with a Chinese group about that... They were literally screaming to each other, laughing all the time, behaving like that was Disneyland instead of a temple.\nApart from that, wonderful place!!!
(22) Really amazing temple and gardens, great relaxing atmosphere and sculptures aswell, the garden is so nice to walk around after seeing the temple
(23) The temple affords a lot of picture postcard views. It is situated on the lake. It has a small cafe on the property which has excellent fast food and juices.
(24) The temples, there are two, lays very beautifully in the sea. No one is allowed to get inn too them. There are a lot off things too buy around the area.
(25) I visited with my family of adult children during sunset. I tend to agree with the more critical reviews of this site. The natural scenery is very beautiful, the temple itself is very small and inaccessible, the area is swarming with tourists and their photo opps, so it feels more like a tourist trap than a meaningful religious site (which I am sure it once was).  All seven in our party found the dance to be contrived and boring, and wish we had spent our time doing something else. If you're near this temple, it is worth a stop. We drove through much traffic to visit this site and don't feel it was worth the time.
(26) Whilst clearly beautiful, temples are meant to be tranquil places, but with thousands of screaming tourists.  I'd therefore recommend not visiting at sunset but trying to go earlier in the day when it is quieter.  Also for goodness sake, stop using a loud PA system to announce something incomprehensible.  It ruined what little ambiance remained.  Also the bathroom are little more than holes in the ground (and cost Rp2,000).  Take your own soap and water with you and hold your nose because the smell is quite bad.
(27) Despite the nauseating tourist market here, it's still a vision. I hear Trump bought the land adjacent to build a golf course (how could they sell that!? To him?!?) so please go support the ancient temple and help the locals retain its majesty. It's a vision and one of the most beautiful holy temples in the world. In the middle of the ocean. Go and try to remember that people carved this with their own hands and the ocean had kept honoring it for hundreds of years.
(28) Visited this place in the morning during a high tide. Very good for photo ops. If you visit during the low tide, you can get closer to the temple, but can't get in.  The entry fee is a bit steep though.  Wear comfortable footwear(wouldn't recommend shoes, if you want to go near the temple).  The vantage point from the entrance is very good for photos.   You can beat the crowd if you go there in the morning. Its super crowded during sunset and you will have to spend a lot of time in traffic to reach and get back to your hotel.\nOverall, a good place to spend some time.
(29) This temple should be a must visit in your itinerary whenever you plan to visit Bali. A beautiful place with simply breathtaking views. Skip other temples and visit this place, trust me you will not be disappointed.
(30) What a beautiful Temple to visit. The views were magnificent.  I had a tour guide which was good as he told me all about the Temple and as i was by myself he took a lot of photos for me. I even saw a monkey and got some great pictures\nYou must go just to see the beautiful view.
(31) We were on a day trip visiting lots of different attractions and this happened to be the first one we stopped off at, so we are talking about 8.30 in the morning.  \n\nWe arrived by mini bus and I drew the short straw positioned right at the back of it.  Now I'm not one to exaggerate on things but my seat was designed for people under the height of 5ft and I'm 6ft!  \n\nAfter eventually getting the blood circulating back into my legs we entered the grounds and as expected in todays economic climate we had to pay.  \n\nFirst impressions was that it seemed a nice place and it wasn't busy at all.   At that time of day there were few western tourists around and me and my friends got ambushed by some asian tourists which we suspected were from Thailand.  They seemed more interested in pointing their selfie sticks at us than the temple itself.  Very annoying, however they summed up the experience in general.  Not that interesting. You weren't even allowed to go into the temple. \n\nI hear the place is better in the evening so perhaps go then.\n\nWould I come here again? No
(32) Visited here around lunchtime. Big crowds. Lots of market stalls too. \nThe actual temple looks really nice. We loved the place. It was worth the visit for sure!!! Go do it :)
(33) Tuesday 10th September and we were on an all day tour of the  Royal Lake and Temples Tour, which we booked through the Tui Representative at our Hotel.\n\nOur first destination and stop was at Tanah Lot where there are 2 temples beside each other. We visited the spectacular Pura Batu Bolong first, then we walked along the coastal path to visit this Temple.\n\nIt really is a spectacular sight to see the Temple standing on the rock in the sea\n\nWe made our way down on to the beach, as it was a low tide we were able to take off our sandals and paddle out to the rock, cave and Temple.\n\nWe walked to the Holy Water Spring, a fresh water spring in the cave, it was possible to drink from the Holy Spring and receive a blessing. The Temple stands on the rock above the spring, it is not permitted to go up to the Temple.\n\nOn the the headland across from the Temple there is another small Temple, which tends to be overlooked. This is Pura JRO Kandang.\n\nOn the landslide there was another cave which is known as the cave of the Holy Snake. We did stick our heads into the cave but did not venture in.\n\nThere were sellers and hawkers here mingling with the visitors trying to sell all sorts of touristy tat.
(34) It is an awesome place to visit , and thus attracts a lot of tourists. The story behind the temple and the caves is very interesting and quite fascinating. We went during the morning and realy liked the waves and the place.
(35) Our tour guide had managed to make a reservation for a very nice table for us to sit and watch the sunset at the temple. Such a nice experience
(36) This place and its setting is always a stunner. The drive is long to get here but well worth the effort. It is one of balis more unique temples... Must visit destination
(37) Direct View of Sea and Temple, makes a magical scenario of eye catching views , best visit time is evening to enjoy the SunSet
(38) Came here with my family, totally refreshing and not so crowded today. Got to see a beautiful scenery and gorgeous temple, feel blessed
(39) Devine, picture perfect and mesmerizing place to be , we were blessed that we visited this temple during festival season in march , it was really nice experience to see that place
(40) The temple location is extremely beautiful and the huge lake makes it look so stunning. The boats on the shore makes it even prettier. My only issue - too much crowd. Else it's a great place to visit.
(41) What can one say when the land meets the sea and artists create an architectural masterpiece that enhances those natural elements?  This scene rates as a watercolorists’ dream.  It must rate as the loveliest temple on Bali Island.  Prepare yourself for large crowds, though.  And everywhere you turn someone wants to sell you something—from touching a snake to buying a flower
(42) This is the temple in the lake , the most beautiful temple in Bali, a must visit. Its located up north of Bali , however, worth the ride to it. It has a beautiful architecture and being inside the lake, the view is gorgeous. We happened to be there on the day of full moon night and there were prayers being offered in the evening in the temple by the locals.
(43) We went here the next day we visit Bali .this is the temple you cannot miss at all !!!very nice view and best month that you can go very near to the temple because usually the sea will cover the way to go to the temple \nI suggested that choose the month that you can walk along to the temple ,there are many restaurants around and souvenirs shops and good price 😊
(44) Nice Balinese temple situated in the middle of a pleasantly green park area. Nice surroundings ! Although there were a lot of Balinese and foreign tourists when we were there, the place did not give the impression to be crowded with tourists.
(45) The temple is very lovely looking and you can get some nice photos of it from the shore. Having said that, the temple is 50000IDR entry per person, and this is not good value for money. The temple is much smaller than the other well known temples, and so it only takes 5 - 10 minutes to see everything. Would recommend if you are in the area, but don't bother making a special trip just for the temple. Also make sure you use the free toilets at the various food outlets inside the temple grounds, as the other toilets try to charge you.
(46) It was pouring hard when we arrived and there are people trying to hand out umbrella which I don't think it's free as they look like stall owner. My driver had 3 big umbrella so it was good. The temple had surrounding fog and we were told its lucky we can see the temple cos down times the fog just goes around everywhere and no view at all. The fog makes the place feels seclusion and mystical l. \nWe learn about the temple and why it's 11 rooftops. Interesting site for spiritual uplifting.
(47) It's a very beautiful place to visit. The temple, cliff, greenery, sunset.... It was just perfect. The best time to visit will be in the evening or early mornings to see sunset or rise.
(48) The temple sat by the sea tranquilly and the breeze was cooling. However, we could only view the temple from far because it was high tide then. The place was over-crowded with tourists and locals trying to sell you things like toys and flower clips. We were pretty disappointed that we were unable to get nearer to the temple due to the tide condition.
(49) It's well worth running the gauntlet through all the market stalls at the entrance to see such spectacular coastal scenery.  It is particularly beautiful watching the sunset over the temple.
(50) One of the most photographed sights on Bali. It sits on Lake Beratan in the town of Bedugul. The lake is one of three in this former volcanic crater. I visited on a day trip from Lovina. You get great views of the other lakes Buyan and Tamblingan from the rim of the crater before you decend. On the steep road down into the valley look out for monkeys.\nThe temple is surrounded by lovely grounds brimming with colourful plants. Statues are draped in yellow fabric and there are many offerings dotted about. A lot of locals visit here and will be pleased to jump into your photographs. The vendors in the car park are a bit pushy.
(51) If you are travelling to Bali you must see this Temple. Absolutely stunning. Also stick around for the sunset and watch the fire dance. You wont be disappointed.
(52) Far from the city area, it is a very beautiful temple near lake and maintained good. You can go for a speed boat ride in the lake for up to the mountain other side the lake which is excellent. Of-course, as many other temples, tourists are not allowed inside the temple. The surrounding park is beautiful and well maintained.
(53) We were lucky enough to be staying next door at the Pan Pacific Resort where you can walk across if the tide was out. \nstunning views of the temple sunset is amazing but very busy early morning is more peaceful defiantly worth a visit.
(54) Yo would have to be lucky with the weather to get the glass of reflection of the temple in the water but it truly is a pretty spot! over sized vegetables and all.... had to battle people & selfie sticks to get a snap...
(55) This is where you will see the typical, Balinese tiered temple views against a backdrop of mountains...beautiful, but very very crowded. Worth seeing.
(56) I enjoyed this temple.  I think because the vendors weren't as pushy as other places.  I had an excellent driver.  We stopped to buy strawberries on the way.  It had a very peaceful feeling though busy with a few school students on tours. The temple was different than I expected.  I thought it more of an island, but it is close to sidewalk.  You can see the stones on which they place bamboo boards to walk to this small isolated structure.  I also thought I small.  Being on the back of the \blue\" money I thought it would be a larger size.  There is a fenced in family of deer for viewing.  A wonderful Buddhist structure is outside the walls of the water temple.  Another temple has a beautiful color door.  The sacred tree is more appreciated from a distance to understand how big it was.  The place is clear with wired food shaped trash receptacles.  Parking was easy, but the drive was very long."
(57) The temple is not as big as we imagined, but still well worth a visit, the gardens are outstanding, and immaculate. The crowds were huge and bit of a spoiler. Do take an umbrella, as they have a lot of rain.
(58) Sunset views are the best but this also attracts large crowds. Small fee paid to visit the temple, but worth the cash.
(59) A really beautiful place to see a unique temple. Nice views and photo opportunities. Attracts many tourists. Good for all ages, does involve some walking. Can walk down to water to view temple closer, but can't go inside temple. Can also view a \holy snake\" in the cave for a small fee, and pet if you dare. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby.\nCan be a short visit or as long as you want. I can imagine how peaceful and serene it must have been many many years ago."
(60) Located 1 hr drive from raya kuta.Situated at the sea where you will the most memorable sunset of ur life.its just awesome.The history of the temple is also very interesting and the guide will tell u all.There is a big market with lots of shops frim where u can buy token gift for ur frnds at home.
