(1) Great view and an amazing temple. There are many shops nearby to eat at and they have great view of the temple.
(2) The temple complex and the shoreline are very beautiful and atmospheric. What spoils it however is us the tourists with the incessant need to take the perfect picture. They stand at the ‘perfect spot’ primping their hair and pouting for the camera. Please consider others who would like just to take a photo of that spot. Rant over.
(3) Temple is beautiful as it's on the sea, but extremely overcrowded, very expensive entrance, full of shops, overpriced restaurants...what makes it not original at all from my point of view. I wouldn't recommend it
(4) This is a site that offers a a great sight in Bali. More touristy than I envisioned. The photos did not prepare me for the tourist shops that must be passed to reach the temples. Friends that we traveled with told me that 25 years ago it was more serene.\n\nStill, this is a great stop on our Bali trip. It is chaotic and a long drive and I recommend that a driver be hired to visit the temples. We had lunch at one of the restaurants overlooking the temples. This provided a respite from the crowds.
(5) With the lake and the mountains opposite this temple complex has a beautiful setting. When we visited the gardens were in full flower. Well worth visiting.
(6) The location of the temple is awesome. The view is amazing. As it is located on the sea shore it looks amazing. Viewing the sea and the waves is such an awesome experience. We are not allowed to enter into the main temple, but only to view it from far. I would recommend this place as a must visit place in Bali
(7) How they built these temples in those days?\nIt is always mesmerizing to appreciate such skilled workmanship.The folks those days took this to worship The almighty is something only faith could support and lead.Enjoy the natural beauty with the spice of waves from Indian Ocean giving it a magical touch.
(8) Words can't really describe the beauty of this place.\nThere is so much to see around. The widespread lake, beautiful mountains, traditional temples, a small garden and all so well maintained!\nNot everyone can enter the temple. But tourists can enjoy the beauty of this place.\nThis place is meant for photographers. So much to click around. We got maximum photographs at this place.
(9) Ok so u get some decent sunset views from here.. Which imo was just ok. The temple itself is nothing much to look at. Visit if you are in the area, but dont bother making much extra effort.
(10) Famous temple in Bali. Worth seeing if a first timer to Bali. Markets with cheap clothing etc.Walk up the hill on southern side for a great overview of temple.
(11) Hey Traveler,\nI am glad you have shortlisted Bali as your vacation destination(or are into the process), but it will be a good decision if its going to be your maiden visit in this country.\n\nComing Back ...to..\Ulun Danu Temple\"..its Pristine beauty will behold you.\nThe Backdrop of the temple compound itself is so mesmerizing that you would find yourselves in awe at the sheer magnificence of this place. \nA Lake, A Mountain, The Clouds & The Temple...All in a place, this refreshes you, your mood.\n\nIdeal time to visit would be in the low monsoon seasons. \nClear skies without the sun, adds volumes to its beauty. Dawn & Dusk - Good times.\n\nTry taking a tour by a speed boat on the lake, it will be worthwhile.\n\nDo Take Pics of this Post Card Landscape. \n \nTip: Carry an umbrella, Try Late afternoon visits, Try off seasons as this place is beautiful when there are fewer crowds."
(12) Extremely beautiful gardens and temple very busy but well worth stopping and having a look, great photos opportunities.\nOverall happy with our visit
(13) If this temple looks familiar... you are right. It's the temple feature on the 50,000Rp currency note. Is it nice ? Yes. Does it justify a visit ? Of course. \nOne of the things many visitors tried to do is to fold the 50,000Rp bank note and try to align the temple printed on the folded half with the temple on site.. well, i guessed if it's nice and something you like to do...why not ?\nNice stroll around the lake and enjoy the scenery. There are trees with trumpet-shaped flowers so you might to take note. There's also an enclosure with couple of deers (which I hope they will be released as it does not help in overall attraction, at all) The venue is nice enough without the need for the captive deers..\nLots of on-site local photographers to shoot pics of you for a fee. (of course, they stayed away from me looking at my full DSLR system) .\nThere's also a diner (buffet style) near the exit area and some shops (non-aggressive sales staff, thanks god) selling local souvenirs, snacks and drink. \nStandby small changes as fee is required for the toilet..
(14) I was surprised at how many stores were sprawled until right before the \split gate\" entrance to the temple. It felt like a market. Parking 5000 IDR/vehicle. Entrance fee is 120,000 IDR/person + toilets costs anywhere from 3000 IDR to 5000 IDR/person, depending on which one you find."
(15) Whether the Temple will be surrounded by water depends on when you visit.  It is interesting to view from many angles when it is dry enough to walk around below the base.
(16) Crowdy place, expensive entrance (50 thnd idr) and really nothing inside. The temple itself is ok, but due to a crowd of tourists you have no chance to feel the place. Avoid it, just don't go there.
(17) We visited this temple on our way to Lovina on the first half of the day. Very beautiful, calm and relaxing place to visit. We were lucky to run on the daily offering as well. Saw the procession too and had a lunch in a buffet restaurant nearby.
(18) The temple is on the sea side, good view. Need to pay Entrance Fee (about IDR 15,000 per adult) and parking fee for vehicles (generally 2000 to 5000 IDR).\n\nCould be very crowded during vacation times. Attracts lots of tourist.
(19) This temple is a good place but not a must visit in Bali. This temple can only be visited during low tide (if you want to go around it) and the best thing to do here is to watch the sunset.
(20) Iconic, a picture perfect temple. Again, lots of tourists and vendors what made a holy site look like another tourist attraction.   Still glad that we visited it.
(21) a realy beautiful temple. \n\nwe had rain and fog. but there were so many insta-tourists who blocked one of the beautiful gates. \ni don’t want to know how it is over there with good weather!\n\nmaybe they should regulate the time for each person or only allow 2-3 pictures per person.
(22) No doubt that this place is a popular attraction in Bali. It has a lot to offer in terms of an amazing view, cultural history, religious discoveries, local market shopping & Bali street food right from the local shops that offer you authentic taste & not something made to suite your taste buds.\nLike all other temples in Bali, non Balinese people are not allowed to enter the temple itself & can only be viewed from a distance. The landscape reminded me of Durdledoor (UK) but it indeed is pretty. I did not visit the inside of the Holy Snake Cave but I did explore the local market & enjoyed coconut water, corn cob & mango chaat with Balinese spicy chutney on it. I was lucky that I witnessed the prayers going on in the temple area & still worth to sit & watch how these people ceremoniously celebrate their faith. Hindu tradition that is quite different from where it originates (India). Enjoy clicking the photos & the road side paddy fields on the way.
(23) We were lucky to visit the temple with the local guide Gusti from Bali Nature Travels on day before Nyeti - Balinese New Year. Everybody prepared for ceremonies and we learned about culture. This temple is one of the sacred temples - each of them is special - this one is small but beautiful over the sea and worth to see. Gusti drove us a nice way on small Roads in the hills from Ubut. It is better to avoid main roads to see the beautiful nature.
(24) The temple is a good thing, but the best thing is the view from the cliff, spectacular, breathe taking.
(25) I thought we could go to the actual temple but we couldn't. Just viewed it from afar. It's an hour from Intercontinental Jimbaran.
(26) We really don't understand why people rate this temple with four stars on Tripadvisor. We think it is barely worth two stars. \nWe came to this place expecting a beautiful temple in a serene and tranquil lake setting. An expectation that was inspired by the many pretty pictures on the internet. \nWhat you don't see on these photos is that this temple is set in a theme park. There are statues of turtles, tigers and owls all over the place, masses of people armed with selfie sticks and roaring speedboats with shouting tourists passing by on the lake. To us it seemed like Disney Land. There is nothing serene or tranquil to be found here. \nOnly visit this temple if it is on your route to another destination. It's a good place to stretch your legs and see something while you're having a break. Otherwise just go to another, more impressive temple. This one is really not worth the long drive.
(27) We had seen several other cool temples before we headed to this one.  It took us 2:30 hours to get there and 3 hours back to Ubud.  Everything is further than you think and there's tons of traffic all the time, so keep that in mind when you spend half your day going here.  I honestly thought it was just another temple and not any more special.  We stayed for maybe 5 minutes.  I would have not gone if I knew this before and will tell all of my friends that it is not worth it.  Yes, it's a pretty temple, but it's not worth it.  If you do go though, if you're an animal person, there is a guy that hangs out there that has some pretty exotic animals you can pay to take pics with.
(28) This is a really nice area and the temple offers beautiful views which are well worth seeing. One of the should see places in Bali
(29) When I arrived here, I thought - this is what I think of when I think of a Balinese temple.  I was so excited.  It was a beautiful place and very quiet.  I loved it.  \n\nA definite must see for those who enjoy temples.
(30) Firstly the temple is very small. And has to be viewed from outside from far. Can't go inside. Not worth the taxi cost and ticket cost at all. Better places to see sunset for free.
(31) interesting and must see temple. leading up to it are numerous souvenir shops-lined narrow streets. bargaining is a must.\nthere are also some eateries
(32) Founded in the 17th century, this is a very important temple to the Balinese people. Situated beside lake Beretan, the view is awesome. The mountain served as a back drop to these multi tiered temple. It was a cool afternoon when we were there, as dark clouds hovered above the sky.  Different kind of boats are for rent if one would like to go around the lake.  \nThe temple is separated from the mainland but just a stone throw away. It was built on an Island surrounded with water thus it seems it is floating on the water. Avoid weekends & local holidays for definitely it will be crowded.
(33) One of the most beautiful location of bali, most of you guys see the pics of the door with background of Mountains and Clouds, Pics Attached, some people named it Heaven's door. believe me, its look like heavens door only. breathe taking views, its in the lap of nature in hills, there are 2 part kf this temple, one is this(In Pics). other is little higher thn this, but lower is more beautifull than upper, upper is forest, if u love forest and nature u can trekk there. I choose this place, there is huge line for the photograph, local people clicking the pictures of everyone with mirror effect in mobile clicks, they dnt ask for money its all up to u, they only click pictures. I have time lapse too for both location, besides this door there ks 3 temple, but u can't go inside for aight seeing or clicking pictures, they only allow people who wants to pray. if u love to pray or meditation u can go inside.
(34) I was really looking forward to seeing temples in Bali.   Yes, there are monkeys and they will pinch glasses etc quicker than you realise - we lost glasses but got them back eventually.   Yes, you need a sarong and will be covered at the entrance.    Yes, there are locals there offering to be your guide for a price - your call but you dont need this service. \nThis place was packed with people for the sunset!.    Unbelievable how the temple locations are so busy with people during this time of the day.   Unbelievable how people have a complete disregard for their own safety, taking selfie pics out of the ledges that clearly say \Don't go pass this point\". There can be a bit of shuffling around people as there are so many here.   We missed out on the dance - opted to not go in as it became standing room and they were squishing people in.   \nIt is quite a big area and it more than likely would have been more pleasant to have gone earlier in the day, maybe had a snack outside the entry, casual browse thru the handful of market sales and taken our time to see before the throngs of people started turning up - thus giving us ample time to get a seat for the dance. \nMid afternoon arrival as opposed to 5pm for 6pm dance would have been more enjoyable to view the grounds and temples.    Everyone seemed more interested in the sunset."
(35) It was awesome especially the environment that they were in with conservation area, the dragon bridge and the temples. We visited it twice on our trip.
(36) The view is breathtaking. Even the view of the temple at high tide. It was crowded early in the morning. Sunset is crowded. You have to get through an avenue of tourist shops offering all the usual Bali products. There is even a couple of snakes on offer for a photo opportunity.
(37) This temple view if awesome and incredible. \n\nThe waves of Indian Ocean hitting the shores is worth a watch. .one of the best places to see sunset in Bali..\n\nOne has to walk for 10 minutes from.parking to reach the place..\n\nThere's place for holy spring and water that are given by local folks near the temple..which are considered auspicious .\n\nOverall to be checked in one's Bali trip.
(38) A must place to visit if you are planning to go to Bali.. weather was awesome...most romantic place...Its a temple of LORD VARUNA..
(39) Cool place to relax. If with kids try feeding fishes. Beautiful statues of Hindu gods and goddesses around the big fountain.
(40) This is probably one of the most famous temple in Bali that it was even printed in the rupiah bill. The temple looks very nice and peaceful. With the lake and the mountains behind it make scenery even more spectacular. The pictures taken here look like those of the postcards. \n\nRecommended for first visitors.
(41) At the base of mountains on the edge of the lake, this temple was bustling with activities.  beautiful structures, shines pagoda's.  The ceremonies we saw were serene and spiritual.  Great place to go.
(42) Definitely worth the trip out there to see the temple and take in the show afterwards at sunset.  Beautiful spot to see the sunset.  Note that it is a Hindu, not Buddhist temple.
(43) The most amazing, must see temple in Bali...Go at sunset on a clear day as it truly is beautiful! A very special feeling when you are close to the temple, can't explain it!!
(44) Hidden gem in Bali. A must place to visit if you want to see sunset. Also there is a fresh water source at the temple
(45) Built on the water, it's the most distinctive temple in Bali. You may find the view on the back of 50,000 IDR note. It's perfect for photo.
(46) Gorgeous setting, but go with a guide as you need the colour commentary for it to all make sense as you can't climb around the temple itself
(47) Seeing sunset and walking around with your soulmate is such a lovely romantic moment! Also saw local people in traditional clothes making regional rituals, you can practice too, chariting money, use holy water on your face and they give u flower, men and women use traditionally then u can climb the hill to see all around. If u don't scare you can see holy snake after donation but we didn't even try it :)
(48) The temple is quite nice but the price is very high compared to other temples in Bali. The Park where it is located is also really confusing and doesn’t fit to the entire atmosphere. After the Entryfee you also have to pay for the toilets and the parking… in this case just 2/5
(49) I recommend you to attend close to 6 pm as they have this nice ceremony every day, and you can also see the sunset. \n\nAlthough the temple looks semi-abandoned, they still practice ceremonies and services. And the view from the cliff is quite impressive.
(50) We hired a driver for the day from Ubud and stopped here first and then the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. In hindsight it was a long time in the car and i would have just done the rice terraces as they were stunning and i wish we had had more time there. \nThis temple is very pretty, but i wasn't blown away by it, its very busy with tourists and there are more impressive sights around Bali i think!
(51) Lovely temple which is on a separate rock...place is huge and lots of tourists you will find here...the place is serene and I loved to sit here watching the ocean...
(52) The temple it self is small and build on a small rock. You're not allowed to go up the rock or inside the temple since its still in use. When its low tide you can walk close up to it for some pictures or get \blessed\" along with a million other tourists for a small donation. I enjoyed the ocean smashing against the rocks more than the temple it self. \nEntrance fee may 2017 was 60k per person. Motorbike parking was only 2k."
(53) Extremely beautiful place with shopping at the streets and in small shops. We did very little shopping from there in the hope that we’ll go for shopping some other time. Whatever we asked from the shops were quite cheaper than other. The temple is just near the sea with a wonderful sight seeing. We went at the time of sunset and that day was cloudy so was very cool 😎 with the blackish color of the temples and everything.
(54) This temple offers adventure and beauty - all in one place. When we reached, the tide was high but we could find our way to the temple through the waters - beautiful place to spend couple of hours
(55) The temple is set amidst stunning sea views\n\nBeware the sea is very rough here...exercise caution in not venturing too close to the cliff...there are warnings but not enough safety reinforcements\n\nYou get good souvenirs here
(56) Came here on holidays when it was at its hottest so very humid and sunny. Prepare yourself for a fair trek if you walk in from the bottom end. Views were really nice got some great pictures of the cliffs and temple
(57) Sorry to say it’s an Instagram place and the image is just fabricated with mirror\nDrive towards the temple is beautiful  I saw the volcanic mountains
(58) Tamar lot temple was a must go spot in traditional tours. That’s why it’s always crowded. The best time to visit is dusk.
(59) This is one of those 'must see' places.  It's pretty neat to see history, and the location of it is dramatic with the waves crashing into the sides.  It took us less than an hour to stroll down and view all the temples and take tons of photos and bargain with some of the vendor.  It was worth the visit.  Note that you cannot actually go into the temples.  Also there isn't a lot of shade, so it might be best to avoid mid-day timings.
(60) Superb temple in bali. Located at Highland of Bali, so the environment was so cold and refreshing. I suggest all of you visit this temple in the morning to get perfect photo shot.
