(1) Very picturesque but incredibly crowded as we arrived on a Sunday during a school holiday period. Entry is 50000IDR per adult and you don’t need a sarong if your shoulders and knees are covered. Lake itself is beautiful as are the temples. Not sure about the fiberglass duck and swan peddle boats however!
(2) You have to visit these 'must see' places to realise that they aren't!\nAfter paying the 30k pp entrance fee you have to go through the market with all the usual tourist tack - gives them a fair wack at your wallets contents but doesn't enhance the experience.\n\nThe temple itself is on a small rock just off the coast. This is about the only special thing about it. It is interesting for the history - which isn't explained anywhere on site so research it 1st. \nBest to visit at low tide so you can get closer but you can't visit the actual temple.\nThere is a fresh water spring (holy water they say) at the base of the rock where you can get a blessing (and pay of course).\n\nThe best views are from a distance so maybe at high tide you don't miss anything after all.\n\nPhotos at sunset are all the rage but I can only imagine the crush to get just the right spot to get the sun setting behind the temple.\n\nAll in all - been there, done that, won't be back.
(3) Main reason to visit this temple is the great view from the cliff. Unfortunately this place is heavily overcrowded. Can’t recommend this place!
(4) A totally must do, when in Bali. Great experience. Trip to the temple is so scenic and picturesque. Stop over at the rice fields.
(5) Unlike many other temples in Bali, this one is in the sea, but still reachable by feet. However, consider going earlier in the day in the rainy season. Also, there is very big market with lots of souvernirs in front.
(6) A place with oceanic view but tourists are not allowed to visit inside the temple. Walk around temple premises and viewing sunrise and sunset are worth. Clean beach.
(7) It’s a little over an hour drive from Ubud for us. Entry ticket is $3 per person if I remember correctly. I personally love this water temple. It’s beautiful and relaxing, the air is fresher i feel. The lake is surrounded by magnificent mountains. Also, It’s much cleaner than I thought, and quite well maintained.
(8) Beautiful temple with lake and mountain nearby offers a great scenic view. Must visit in Bali tour for few hours
(9) Sounds kind of obvious but we went at sunset and the tide was out. It was pretty underwhelming though the sunset was nice. \n\nBy this point I think I was a little bored of being charged to go near temples and being bombarded by people selling toot.
(10) This is one of the must visit place if you go to Bali. I went with my friends there and although this is not my first time, we are still amaze with this stunning ancient temple who stand on the sea side.\nIt is better if you go there just before the sunset .
(11) The temple is build on the edge of a cliff... It is Amazing, to say the least...\n\nThe Ocean below presents a breathtaking view... Its spread over a huge area so be prepared to walk around... Remember not to wear fancy flipflops or hats , as monkeys will be waiting to grab them from you!\n\nJourney to the temple may be tedious due to traffic, if you are planning to see the sunset. We actually returned from mid way after the traffic didnt move for one hour. Next day we ended up going early morning, and trust me it was mesmerizing... very less crowd and extremely peaceful...
(12) Really really enjoyed this.  Beautiful landscape. Well kept gardens. The tide was high so we never made it to the temple on the water (Tanah lot) but plenty of photo opportunities of the beautiful temples. Very busy with loads of tourists. Lots of markets and we really loved the fact we were not harassed by the vendors. Lots of beautiful places to eat and highly affordable. Go and check it out.
(13) Great location, friendly and very helpful locals. Balinese people mostly are quite hospitable. Definitely will be returning
(14) I visited a few temples before coming here and i have to say this one was one of my favorites.\nThere's lots of stalls, eateries and cafes around tge area and i found them to be far cheaper than in legian. They were a little added bonus. You could pick up a fresh coconut and sit sipping it whilst watching the sunset this for me was a magical experience.\nWe arrived around 3.30pm had a look around everything and managed to get out by 6.30pm but you can spend as much or as little time here and it still be a breathtaking site to behold.\nWe were blessed in the holy spring which was my personal highlight,  the views were spectacular and the feeling it gave usvwas peaceful even though it was swarming with tourists.\nA couple of down points.... you still get harrassed by sellers selling their wears such as postcards, plastic kites etc.\n - not being able to reach the top of tge atual temple itself was a bit of of a disappointment.\n - people still leave their rubbish around.. plastic bottles were a particular problem.\n\nAll on all though i cane away glad to have made the journey and would recommend this being worth a trip out.
(15) This temple shows up on many Bali postcards and photos- and no wonder because it shows really nice in photos. There were lots of tourists when we visited but you can still find a spot to take pictures.
(16) Located 1200 mtrs above sea level and 70-80 minutes by car from Ubud, this place is amazing. The temple is situated on the lake between the mountains. Magical scenery. \nThe grounds are kept clean and the gardens are really beautiful. You can rent a boat and go out on the lake as well.\n\nWe arrived there before noon, the weather was nice and cooler than in Ubud. It was not crowded at all. Witnessed a religious procession and managed to take great photos.\n\nIf possible, go early, combine with a trip to Jatiluwih rice fields and Gitgit waterfall in Singaraja.
(17) So worth a visit, not a temple as most Westerns perceive it, but a tranquil spot. Just for a walk or contemplation, you will be captivated by it's beauty and superb maintained surroundings. Can't recommend enough
(18) They managed to build a whole touristic village around the temple including Ralph Lauren shop. A peek on the holy snake or a blessing with holy water will require a donation. From Tanah lot you can see the 5star hotel Trump recently bought. All of this sounds like a very sacred place doesn't it?
(19) Busy place by the Sea.  Two separate temples situated on the edge of the Indian Ocean.  Go and enjoy the locale, appreciate the history and if you can watch the sunset.  The large temple can only be accessed at low tide via a land bridge.  We got there at dusk and enjoyed not only the sunset but the incoming tide as the land bridge slowly disappeared in the rising waters.  Truly a fabulous place and an incredible experience.
(20) It's a good place for some picturesque photographs and enjoying the weather. However, it's very crowded so it is difficult to experience peace in the beautiful area around the temple.
(21) # 3 in 1 : Mountain, lake and temple.\n# Cool temperature.\n# We managed to take pictures with friendly local and their traditional Balinese costume.\n# We spend about 1 hour (went there by private tour driver)\n# Lots of halal warung nearby.
(22) Its was a very long drive from Nusa Dua, its best advised to visit this place when you are in Ubud!\n\nVery beautiful temple and if you are lucky you can walk up to the temple if there is a low tide,so plan you trip! \nYou are not allowed inside the temple so set your expectations right, you can get a click on the temple from outside and most tourists click pictures of the  waves hitting the rocks in the background which is worth a click. Other wise nothing more to offer.
(23) This is in of Bali's many hindu temple but with the extra spectacular view over the waves approaching the coastline.  Pay the entrance fee of 300000 Rp and borrow a sarong before regering. Well worth a visit!
(24) As my expectations were high on taking good photos of this temple, the unexpected rainfall ruined it all. Nevertheless, this temple is still a great place to visit. There were kids practicing Balinese dance when we arrived there. Their dances looked gentle & 'soft' to me. One thing that I admired the most about Balinese is the way they preserved their culture.\n \nThe design of the temple is unique and well preserved. Overall, it was a great experience visiting one of these Indonesia's great landmark ! Wish that the weather could have more mercy on us for taking greater pics there 😕 Better luck next time...
(25) We visited this place on our honeymoon, we couldn't go to the temple because of the high level of the water, so we see it only from across the road. If we would have been waiting there a couple of hours we could have seen it! It was beautiful, once in your life you need to visit this place!
(26) We visited this picture postcard temple late afternoon. The whole place is swarming with tourists and sellers trying to access the masses X however it's still beautiful and it's still a fantastic location X for those with mobility issues its a tad difficult due to the amount of steps and the slippery stone walk out. But this place is something special and breathtaking X my husband made a wish at the holy snake and we walked over to the other side to see another temple also. The markets here are fantastic value and I will recommend these than anywhere else.
(27) This was my favorite Bali temple. With that said it is a log journey from Semenyack. Not as commercialized as some of the other temples but very nice. The grounds are well kept and they held true to traditional practices such as the sarong. The focal point is a beautiful pair of buildings on the lake. Entrance fee is 30,000 Rp per person.
(28) Neat, but so overcrowded that it takes away from the experience. Didn't even bother walking down to the main temple when we saw the volume of people.  I'm sure it would be better if we went at sunset.
(29) When I entered into the attraction area I was bit confused where to go to see the temple and there are lots of street shops there. The temple is not accessible for guests however worth seeing it from the top or near. We went up to the top and had rest at the restaurant at the top which gave us very good view to the temple and had a good photo shooting. Highly recommend this.
(30) Unique to see an \island\" in the sea; where you can walk across to the temple (during low tide). Good place to have sight seeing as well as little shopping for souvenirs"
(31) A must visit when you are in Bali \nTry to get a guide in order to understand the story behind each temples , do no ttake the guides that rush to you but choose the ones that are waiting for you and not running after you
(32) By far the best temple in Bali to visit.  Amazing ocean and sunset views as well!  The only tough part was getting out of there after the sunset as it was rammed
(33) The temple, built in the 1600s, this place is of historical and religious significance. We came in the morning, so there were fewer people than normal. This made it easier to get unobstructed views. The toilets inside cost 2000Rp to use, so be sure to carry some small notes if you need to go. I'd recommend the drive there to anyone visiting Bali.
(34) One of the most beautiful temples we've seen in Bali. Clean, beautiful gardens, nice environment. A must see in Bali.
(35) This is a beautiful temple located on top of a 200 m cliff protruding into the ocean, just above breaking waves of the Indian Ocean - the cliff runs ob both sides, giving the opportunity to see the temple from almost all sides. A stunningly beautiful place
(36) Interesting hindu temple on the lake. Genuine place of worship and big ground to walk and relax. You can see a few deers in one area.
(37) This is one of the most beautiful attractions in Bali. The combination of beautiful temple surrounded by lovely lake and the lofty mountains as the background is rare. You breathe tranquility here although many people come to visit it. The history is religious tolerance and harmony can be traced here as this is a Hindu temple, but in front of it there is a buddhist shrine and an islamic mosque can be found in nearby place!
(38) Even that you have very limited time, go to this place for the sunset. It is just memorable. The sun, the temples and the sea are the best picture to live.
(39) The temple by itself isn't the nicest on Bali, it is it's location what make it so special & must seen place in Bali. We had a nice walk along the cliffs and the view was truly amazing. Closer to temple it was crowded, so we managed to find quiet space further from it to enjoy sunset.
(40) Nice view of the sun setting at dusk. From a high ledge. Overlooking a beach. And behind are temples with monks praying. This is tourist bliss. A good place to take nice everlasting pictures. Could be crowded towards sunset but hey, that's the general idea😎😎😎 there are areas with network based wifi AND free WiFi though epileptic.
(41) I have been there sometimes abd bring my family and friend to see this beautiful place. the temple is in the lake floating. And do some speed boad ride with my wife, it was wonderful experienced. have a visit, you will vibe and amaze the view and surrounding.
(42) This temple is wonderfully set in a dramatic cliff top setting. Beautiful at sunset (albeit a bit busy!) An honestly beautiful place to visit.
(43) Like most of Bali, its all commercialised. The temples have no real history or significance. Just ended up going out of boredom.
(44) It's a lovely temple but you pan around to see the crowds and the huge number of stalls selling all manner of goods.  Yes you'll get your photos but it's not exactly spiritual with that many people selling things, jostling you to get photos or being inappropriate (beer cans at temple are NOT okay).
(45) Firstly, the views really are amazing and we took some fantastic pictures, we were there at low tide so we could walk over to the temple no problem. However when we got to the temple and climed the stairs, about half way up, it was all sealed off and you could not go any further. Bit diasspointed to pay into a temple and then find you cant even go inside it. We walked over to the other bit of the temple, which is a bit easier to get to however that was all sealed off too.Great photo taking opportunity but other than that it's nothing to get excited about!
(46) We visited this temple 8 years ago. It used to be a charming, even impressive site: the temple rising from the lake, the mountains, the quiet, ... Now it's an overrun, kitschy spot. Granted, the temple is still there and the place is well kept, but there is no longer anything religious about it. There is a resort, garbage bins looking like Spongebob or strawberries, tourists in shorts taking selfies, speedboats rocketing on the lake, ... No, just no.
(47) Nice temple on the sea but unless you go very early in the day or there is a very nice sky for sunset it is a bit overcrowded for the experience. Lots and lots of handicraft stalls and pushy market people.
(48) We visited time a lot first thing in the morning at low tide and we were happy to be able to go near the temple and we were blessed by the holy men who were there it was amazing I would do it again in a heartbeat! P. S. Make sure you get there early!
(49) comparing with bali's other temples its small with not alot of things to see and do... i loved the fact that its built on the water so you have to walk on its beautiful beach to reach your destination where you get the blessings and wash your face with its purifying water placing rice on your forehead...there is also a wall of rocks where people there place their hands its to connect with the spirits in that place (this is what they told us)... its always a beautiful refreshing experience in any temple in bali!
(50) While this is a beautiful temple - you can't see very much, even if you are able to walk over to it during low tide.  There are other temples that I felt we learned much more about Bali / Hindu culture and were just as beautiful.  It's also very, very crowded with tourists.  If you go, I would suggest going early in the day to avoid the sunset crowd.
(51) This objek is very populer in Bali,would you came and see nice sunset at 18,00.Temple on the black rock
(52) Not easy to drive there. It was on our way to the North, but it is one of the best temple in Bali. You access almost everywhere and see everything. It can be a bit busy so choose an early time in the day if you can. Don't drive pass this place, you have to see it!!
(53) If you see one temple in Bali this it it beautiful but very very busy lots of people trying to sell you stuff won't leave you alone ruins the atmosphere
(54) Truly wonderful experience , an unique temple, such a shame many people are not able (due to their religion) to actually enter temple. However a worthwhile visual memory of Balinese culture.  \n\nHowever it is spoilt a fraction by the usual market area but this is everywhere nowadays. Also many people attend the ceremonies especially around sunset, but this is worth the visit.
(55) There were way too many tourists brought in by the bus loads! There are other temples, especially in the Ubud area that have more interesting architecture and history. This temple is unique in its location on a spit of land isolated by the ocean during high tides, but there was a fair amount of trash on the beach leading to the temple, probably from all the tourists coming to visit. If we were doing Bali again, I would skip this temple and visit other more historically interesting temples in the Ubud area. People were jostling to have their picture taken with the temple in the background - rather unfortunate due to the high number brought in by buses.
(56) Though I had short stay in Bali were able to visit the temple breathtaking view of the sea quite and calmness of the serene add faithful to believe in their belief. Before I climb to the top of the temple to worship had to wear wrapper since I was wearing a short no worries if you do not have one care takers rent wrappers for small money I think its must see place whenever you are in Bali.
(57) I think it is seriously over rated. Was quite a sad experience. We could not even go to the temple because it was not allowed. And seeing it from below just for the sunset was not some thing that we were interested in. It was also too touristy!
(58) A must to see while in Bali! One of the most popular temples located on a seaside. There are many tourist but it doesnt feel much crowded as The whole complex is huge. When the tide is low it is possible to go near the temple.
(59) Lakeside temple, scenic view. However, there is not much to experience for the effort to reach the location.
(60) Beautiful temple, Big tourist attraction, Mesmerizing Sea view. Best place for relaxing and enjoying sunset.
