(1) There are two main temples in one complex. One of it almost looks like its hanging on top of the sea! Tourists are not allowed within the temples but it's a great experience nevertheless. The place has an amazing view, especially at sunset! There are quite a few tourists around, so it's not very peaceful. Snacks can be bought from the small eateries that are present at certain points on the stretch.
(2) A stunning place to visit. Even though it was cloudy when we visited and busy it is still a relaxed and peaceful place. You can spend a good hour enjoying the gardens and viewing the temples from the exterior walls. There are toilet facilities and cafes to eat and drink at dotted around. Free to enter and one of the very few places 100% buggy friendly.
(3) Humidity very high at the temple,but beautiful location by the ocean and \na nice opportunity to take lot of pictures
(4) It is one of the must visit temples on Bali with Besakih on my opinion. Beautiful scenery all together. try to make it there one hour before the sunset to enjoy a magnificent view.
(5) There are countless Hindu Temples in Bali and most of them are beautiful, but this one is an extra ordinary, by the lake “Beratan” this 400 year old temple is built so beautifully that it literally mesmerize you, from the moment you look at it and surroundings and lake; you feel in Trance. In 1926 most of the area was covered and destroyed by the Lava but after rebuilding it has got it beauty back. Worth visiting
(6) A classic temple in a truly magnificent location.  Definitely worth a visit to further highlight the intrinsically spiritual nature of the Balinese.
(7) The temple is quite interesting and has some great views. Really cool staircase down to the beach below. The beach at the bottom is makes it worth the visit!
(8) Bali temples do not seem to have statues of the gods and goddesses, and one is not allowed to go anywhere close to them. The locals can go when there is a ceremony but not others. So eventually it is taking in the architecture which is very beautiful and unusual. It is a nice visit for a leisurely walk in the surroundings, taking a speed-boat ride and clicking pictures of the temples from a distance. There is a pagoda dedicated to the Buddha too.
(9) We went to this temple on june and we really loved it very much.  Also lucky on that time it was not so busy as we went there earlier in the morning.  One of the best temple on bali you should go for visit.  We loved Bali...
(10) very busy with the markets and the restaurants. all of it was delicious and the shops had some quality stuff, the temple is a great sunset spot.
(11) Visited this temple with my partner. This temple is in the sea which you can walk to at low tide. The sunset is amazing and the whole place is amazing to see.
(12) High tide worked in our favor. Lots didn’t want to pick up their skirt and walk in the water to the temple. The temple wasn’t really open to walk but we were blessed (literally we got sprinkled with water and rice and flowers) and only got to go up steps to take a picture in a small portion of the templ. However, if you take a walk away from the temple along the shore, you’ll get a great view. The food was also good and definitely take a stop at Luwak Cafe to pet a Luwak and bats!
(13) Can't forget the beauty of the place. The entire facility is excellent. The main temple, walking areas, view points and restaurants - all excellent. Adjacent market area is also very good. In each view point different beauty - so don't miss to walk the entire area. beauty in low tide and high tide are different. Recommended for at least half day tour.
(14) This was  a late addition to our trip as it was not a part of our tour. My wife found out about it on the internet and it turned out to be quite a place to visit, maybe just better than Gitgit waterfalls.\n\nThe temple is inside a park kind of a place with walking area around the temple. it looks beautiful the closer you get and with the lake surrounding it, you will not want to leave the place.
(15) I had the pleasure of seeing this temple just 1 day after arriving in Bali. We hopped into a cab and arrived an hour before sunset.  It was a bit crowded, but just so much space around the actual temple, that it didn't feel crowded.  I walked as close as I could, taking tons of photos along the rocks.  Then my husband and I walked up the stairs and to the other side for a sunset view.  I knew this was a special place, when I looked over at my husband, sitting along the rock retaining wall, and seeing how peaceful and relaxed he looked. Just staring out into the sunset.  He was now in vacation mode (it usually takes him a few days to truly relax and chill.) It was one of the prettiest sunsets we saw in Bali.
(16) The viewsfrom the temple are sspectacular of the waves impounding the huge rocks all the time worth many a photographs!
(17) Lovely too see water and waves splashing up against the temple.. Makes for a great background. It can be slippery so be aware... There's stalls and markets to walk through when you're done. Not a bad way to spend the day although you cannot swim in the water - the tide gets quite rough. There's no decent restaurants around so you may wanna carry food!
(18) Sunset is beautiful, but you have to pay to go inside the temple surroundings, and you are not even allowed inside the actual temple. Basically, you are paying for the view of sunset.
(19) I found this place very beautiful and stunning. The more numbers of photos I have taken during my Bali visit is of this temple! Nice climate, but after some time started raining.so couldn't do the boating in the lake . A mountain in the background and a lake and clouds it was amazing
(20) We really enjoyed our tour here. We had a private driver which proved to be the best way to see this amazing temple with so much to see.
(21) This is a magical place and not to be missed at sunset! we got some fantastic photos, but make sure to pick a good spot well before the sun starts to go down! We also visited the cave below where I touched one of the holy snakes, while the old man told me I would be rewarded with many blessings and a wonderful holiday! Yes, that certainly was true! This is a very special temple and has a long history, but its location is just stunning!
(22) Nice hilly ride up there with beautiful view of the surroundings. The temple is very romantic looking like it is floating on the rocks next to the shores. The garden leading there is very nice.
(23) This temple is just magnificent, it is the temple that has been becoming the icon of Bali everywhere. If you want to take photograph here, I highly suggest to do it during sunrise time. As you can get a beautiful background(sky) with beautiful foreground (temple) in one picture!\n\nJust simply amazing place!
(24) I was lucky as the place was fairly tourist free, and a ceremony was just ending. the gardens are really lovely, and the sea/temple views superb. I would say it is more than worth visiting, fingers crossed that it isn't too busy. You aren't allowed to go inside the temple which is a shame, I would love to know what it looks like.
(25) The main attraction in North west of Bali Island. This temple also printed on old 50.000 Rupiah Banknote. \n\nThis water temple is use to pay respect for the source of water in west part of Bali. Balinese believe water is one of the important element, and this temple also used for regulate water flow to each subak (rice terrace) in west part of Bali.\n\nI like how Balinese take into a deep understanding how nature work, how Balinese people pay a respect for it. Once again, it's not just about the attraction, but more about the people and the culture that enrich your journey.\n\nHave a nice trip in Bali!
(26) Photos of the lake temple seem to always turn out gorgeously, and hide the hundreds of tourists that throng this lovely attraction. I have been visiting the temple on earlier trips to Bali as well, and the setting remains awe-inspiring. The addition of boating trips on the lake a few years ago already spoiled the clean calm of the lake. But the most recent addition is shocking. On the grounds of the temple park is a sub-attraction featuring owls, birds and bats. For a fee of between 3 and 5 USD, visitors can take pictures of themselves with a family of owls, with lories or holding large bats by their wings. This is a disgrace and needs to be condemned. Bats and Owls are nocturnal, and are being trotted out into the sun (so that the humans can get good pictures!). It was disappointing to see several tourists fueling this business by patronizing this activity and getting their batman selfies with scant regard for animal welfare. Enjoy the temple and the views, avoid the side attractions please.
(27) Very automatic with beautiful gardens just under Mt Agung so very cool on a hot day tends to be a little less crowded than other temples
(28) lovely place , its really beautiful and serene here, the temple is spiritually enchanting. Lovely place to get good photo shoots of your bali trip.
(29) Beautiful temple with lovely surround and gardens but lots of tourists and fairly long lines for cafes/drinks. Worth a look and some great photo opportunities but busy.
(30) The temple itself is super impressive as well as the scenery. You can’t entrance the temple but it’s still pretty to look at. The entry price to the area was 60K which was quite a lot.
(31) A splended clifftop temple, beautiful views abound and walk around the surrounding walkway, truly breathtaking!
(32) A lot of myth and lore goes into this place. Just go visit! It is rather overrun, but still worth it.
(33) Great place to enjoy views but too much crowded during low tides (we went around 5pm). So you can see lot of people roaming around wherever you walk. It is very well developed to handle large public as there is lot of parking, restaurants and small market. Entry fee seemed to be little high as compared to other places. There is not much to see here except the temple view and open see hitting the rocks hard. I am not really impressed with the place as such and i think once in a while you have that sunset view, else chances are less because of the overcast.
(34) One of the most important landmark and situated literally inside the ocean (during high tide), this temple is divine and beautiful. A must view because of its unique setting - amazing views, enchanting waves and temple mystique.
(35) Featured on many Bali publications the Hindu temple is the main of the three with smaller Buddhist and Islam within the same area. Fortunate to be there when a hindu cremation ceremony was taking place.\nTemple entry was IDR50k and the grounds were beautifully maintained - even some Spongbob Squarepants character statues to amuse the children.\n2192
(36) We rode there on our scooter and just caught the sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking!! Took some photos of the view and the temple. Was quite a treat. Something easy and fun to do by yourselves on the scooter :)
(37) This was a big let down as the place is SO overrun with tourists, beggars and people selling stuff. You cannot get near the temple so you have to stay on the beach just to look at it from afar. \nMy suggestion is to go to the 5 star resort next door, order a drink, wander down to their private beach area (which has a better photo opportunity view) and then have dinner there. This way you are not fighting the hoards of tourists or risk being swept out to sea on the rocks just to get a picture of the temple.
(38) Took more than an hour to get here so we could only stay 30 mins. The traffic to everything in Bali is just atrocious. Just enough to take photos and walk down to the temple.  It’s something one does in Bali so I can’t say it’s not worth visiting....
(39) This is an extremely popular tourist destination and the whole area is often very busy indeed, especially in the late afternoons, pre-sunset. The magnificent temple perched on a rock just a few metres offshore. Views of the temple and the sunset behind it are outstanding.
(40) Very crowded! The temple is not even accessible. We thought that you could go in and see some historic temple, but your're only allowed to ser it from the outside.
(41) Very nice temple complex... A bit crowded in the afternoons... I assume it will be even better in times of less tourists say early in the mornings.
(42) View around this place was so beautiful...watching sunset was special here...sunset happened in few minutes...water in this beach was crystal clear...from car parking we hve to walk some distance to reach viewpoint...there was a temple in sea shore...in tat temple there was holy water which tastes good not salty...u hve to offer some money to priests in tat temple...they wil put some flowers on our head n ears....overall the place was so beautiful n attractive...
(43) We visited this spot with the Mayong Village Tracking Experience.\n\nThis is a nice spot to stop and get some great photos (as another user says, this temple is on the 50K bill).  You can't go inside, so don't expect to get up close and personal here.  But the structures themselves are beautiful.\n\nBut it is VERY busy, and packed with tourists.  Go early to avoid the crowds!
(44) Good place to visit if you have time but offers only a sunset view and you are not allowed inside the temple so may not be the best thing to do in Bali.
(45) The overall setting of the temple is extremely beautiful. Jutting out into the sea with azure water all around, it's a photographer's delight. It's accessible during low tide when you can simply walk till the temple.\n\nThe main temple is out of bounds for tourists but a small cave with 'holy water' is accessible. The priests will expect you to donate & will give you a nasty look if you don't.\n\nThere were three of us; one of us donated but the priests looked at each other, made a face & mouthed 'Indians!'. There is another cave with a 'holy snake'. You again need to make a donation to see it (& even touch it).\n\nIf you put aside these moneymaking schemes by the priests, the temple is incredible.
(46) One of the best temples in Bali. Makes a great feast for your eyes. The beach, the beautiful traditional Bali temple architecture accentuated by the sun-rise/sun-set was definitely bringing a heavenly feeling. Beware! You would not want to leave.
(47) The place is has a different aura. Temples built in midst of the lakes give the place an ethereal touch. Since it is located at height, you won't suffer from heat and humidity.
(48) It was nice for a slow walk with nicely landscaped gardens, beautiful and clean but slightly crowded. Beautiful scene with Lake, mountain and temple by the shore.
(49) An important iconic landmark of Bali island. A beautiful place to watch the sunset. Very nice scenery. The place is crowded because this is one of the most popular temples in Bali. A must see for tourist visiting Bali.
(50) Saw tons of tourists but not the temple.  Got in line for holy water and made donation thinking we would be able to go a little further, but crappy fence at stair right off the bat.  It was quite a deception and complete exploitation of the holy ground. (But then that's what Bali is about)
(51) Pictures can never do this temple justice. It was my favorite of all of the ones we visited.\n\nMy only gripe is the trash. It is everywhere. Locals don’t seem to care. We had the pleasure of traveling all over Bali. We could not find area that did not have trash. It is a shame, this is a beautiful place to visit. People are amazing and friendly
(52) We walked through the market to get to the beach where the temple is.  The market was quite fascinating - nothing really of quality to buy - but lots of really interesting stuff like owls, Luwaks, snakes etc.\nI have to say I wasn't overly impressed with the temple area.  It was on a surf beach, the tide was out and the mud flats exposed.  We picked our way across the rocks (a bit slippery) - the temple where you could be blessed and go up a few steps.  You couldn't actually go into the temple.  Some nice views from the top - and that was pretty much it.
(53) One of the most beautiful temples in Bali.I'm always happy to go back.I am always looking forward to bring my guests back and this beautiful space to show.
(54) Amazing jungles and architecture. We have a good time with family.\nRecommend for couples with kids.\nNot so big place but nice.\nAs for temples all of them closed. But you can take a pictures through the gates.\n
(55) This is a nice to place to spend the afternoon, especially whilst observing various families going to use the actual temple. The views of and from the temple are stunning and even though the temple is not the grandest in terms of construction it's setting makes it really special. Definitely worth a visit if you are going to Bali
(56) The temple is located onshore of Indian ocean and fabulous place for nature lovers. Beautiful way to end your day as the sunset provide you awesome experience to your eyes. Only problem is that only Balinese people are allowed to go inside the temple. Lots of shops around the parking area. A must visit in Bali even if you're an atheist!
(57) Entrance fee is 50k rupias. The place is very big, just in Ubud city center. It is nice, with many temples and full of monkeys!!
(58) This is a nice temple situated on the lake. The garden is still under construction and it can be a little crowded but it's worth visiting. Entry fee 50 000 rupiah.
(59) The temple on the cliff was breathtaking when you saw it from the view point on the opposite site. One of good places to see a sunset. Also, you will find a lot of big moneys  around the area. Be careful of your stuff.
(60) This is a beautiful large temple, there was the Hindu fire ceremony happening today whilst we were there and Yudha, our tour guide, was telling us all about how they do this every 6 months. It is a beautiful area and the views of the coast are stunning, some of the most dramatic coastline and views I have ever seen (second to Hawaii really). Well worth the visit, even if it's just for the views.
