2	i just went here today and i didn't realize what i was getting myself into. it costs 50,000 rupiah to get in and no guide is required like pura besakih. before you start your journey, the staff will show you a laminated map, i recommend taking a picture of this map if you don't have a guide. they will tell you that you may get lost and wonder down to the village but i was fine without a guide. i made the trek on the pavement (you can also hire a motorcycle to take you to the first steps) and i was able to make it to the very top temple (1,700 steps). this temple was not crowded at all but it is not for those that are not very active. the first temple was an amazing site and you will go up the paved road from there to make your way to the second temple. i don't recommend taking young children on this trek as you will climb 1,200 meters in elevation. it was quite a journey up, the elevation definitely added another element to the hike (i am a pretty active individual). it took about an hour up then another 1.5 hours to the top. the steps are rocky and some parts of the stairs were badly deteriorated so i don't recommend flip flops. i made the mistake of hiking in sandals, i would recommend tennis shoes or hiking sandals. i started a little after 11 am and ended around 2:15 pm. take bug spray and sunscreen as it gets hit and humid during the day. we came across the macaques monkeys who were going through the trash bins. find a large stick and don't look them directly in the eyes and you will be fine. they aren't aggressive like the monkeys in uluwatu. lastly, being lots of water to stay hydrated. they do have stands selling food and drinks but they are scattered throughout the trek. reaching the top felt amazing and i highly recommend coming here!	28
3	we were going to go here first thing in the morning but our driver recommended we go here on the way home for sunset. it was a very popular tourist attraction and it was very busy, lots of market stalls if you want to shop. it was low tide so you could go across to the temple but the line was huge. also when you took photos of the temple it was just full of people. i would have preferred going at high tide so you could get nice photos. but otherwise it's a nice spot	4
4	this is very nice beach and close to ulunwatu temple. surrounded by cliffs but a nice place. very clean.	8
5	i just love this place. the scenery is beautiful especially in the sunset. the atmosphere is so peaceful even though there're lots of people from all around the world visit this temple	4
6	i went here with friends from london and australia. the temple always busy as always. lots of balinese people and tourist vame and pray at temple and asked for holy water. location has big car park and we pay entrance ticket. ticket for local and foreigner are different rate. we passed local shops/ arcade which is selling balinese art and cloth. the gate of the temple full of people taking picture. for best view, we went to the cafe which is close with the temple. we can see the temple and sunset clearly. food price are cheap. we are glad we got perfect sunset there.	2
7	my partner and i are staying in legian so it took us two hours by taxi to get to tanah lot and back. this cost us 400,000 idr plus a parking fee for the taxi to wait for us at tanah lot as the town surrounding it is not a massive tourist area so would be hard to organise transport back to the hotel. entry into tanah lot is only 60,000 idr (roughly $6) each. you have to walk past many stalls before getting to the temple. there are even signs directing you 'directly' to the temple which takes you on a longer route to get to the temple just so you go past more stalls. once reaching the temple, the view is breath-taking. it really is a rare sight and is magnificent. however i was very disappointed as you do not get to go to the top of tanah lot temple. at the bottom of the temple you donate money to be blessed after which you are allowed to walk up about 10 steps and are stopped by a gate and guard. there was also many tourists there, trying to navigate around each other proved to be difficult. we arrived at tanah lot around 1pm in the afternoon and it was busy - would hate to think what it would be like around sunset! both my partner and i could not wait to get out of there. overall the view was stunning however i would not recommend to anyone to pay as much as we did to see it - it looks exactly the same as it does in the photos. if you're willing to hire a scooter for roughly 50,000 idr per day and drive it yourself up there, then maybe it would be worth the trip. but i would not go there again.	17
8	this seaside temple is absolutely beautiful. though we were unable to see a full sunset due to clouds, what we were able to see was gorgeous. the temple grounds are beautiful, especially the area with the sacred spring. i recommend grabbing a bite to eat here and taking in the gorgeous surroundings in the late afternoon/early evening.	4
9	although it was extremely busy and extremely hot, it was still worth it and a tick off the bucketlist!! the views are incredible and the sheer beauty of the temple in the ocean is just breathtaking. we enjoyed a coconut freshly cut open (would have preferred it ice cold) but still memory material straight away!	4
10	one from the most famous attractions in bali ,best hour in the sunset but in general is overcrowded all time of the day ,entrance fee 60000rp and 5000rp for the parking slot outside. there are many souvenir shops, several restaurants	2
11	over the years we have been to tanah lot sea temple many times escorting bali newbies. good idea to check the tides as the temple is only accessible at low tide. there is a cave under the temple with a freshwater stream that the priests use to \bless\ visitors. make sure you pack the camera for this unique cultural experience.	18
12	we had a big day touring around bali and our driver did well to get us to tanah lot temple just on sunset, but for the best views i expect it would be better to have gotten there earlier. that said, it did not take away from the majesty of the temple and the incredible efforts of the builders/monks to create it so long ago. we walked around the rocks at low tide and enjoyed the twilight then quick darkness of night before getting into our car to get back to legian. i would definitely visit again...in daylight! cost to enter park is idr30,000 per person. luckily we had it on us.	18
13	i visited both pura tanah lot and uluwatu temple but i like uluwatu temple much more. you can walked along the cliff top while waiting for sunset. the view is amazing if you like the nature. however, there are so many naughty monkeys and i saw they stole visitors' earrings and slippers. but this can be prevented if you do not wear accessories and slippers. the temple is very crowded in the evening and remember only go there with car driver but not taxi.	8
14	with its kecak dance performance, nothing to compare. the best i've ever seen. be careful though with monkeys around the temple, they grab anything shiny or loose.	13
15	a small entrance fee is charged. remember to see the very old ficus benjamina (tree). we were lucky to see two ceremonies during our visit. the place has a very special calmness. difficult to park if you arrive by car. very nice areas for photo shoots.	28
16	nice temple near the sea shore.however you cannot go into the temple itself just see the suroundings. many tourists of course... it still worths the visit. i would recommend to go first thing in the morning or late afternoon because of the hot clima.	4
17	i think the temple itself is not the main attraction. the reason why people coming here just merely because of the cliff view. it is breathtaking view especially visit in the morning to avoid the mass crowds. one we saw monkey tried to steal a woman’s shoes and another stealing man’s sun glasses. we suggest not to bring any belonging to the temple otherwise monkeys will disturb you!	14
18	this temple is to enjoy the sunset view. you can visit the temple premises closely only if there is no high tide. get yourself a picture by the local photographers. they really make a lot of effort in just rp20000. also don't forget to look around and also go to the batu bolong temple nearby. the view from there is spectacular! we ate at the ocean restaurant but didn't like the food at all. skip that if possible.	4
19	the view itself is killing and you can never snap enough pictures of this beautiful place. another exciting experience is crossing the short flooded route with strong waves hitting up to your waist at all times. and you get to drink fresh water comes from within the temple in the middle of sea.. fresh water within salt water	4
20	during your stay in bali you must see uluwatu temple and after visit this temple and clif obligatory you must go to jimbaran beach for the seafood dinner with sunset seeing. in my opinion and opinion of my group of friends - its obligatory part of bali trip.	8
21	uluwatu temple is located at the cliff of uluwatu facing the indian ocean, offering a breathtaking view. be careful with the free roaming monkey as they like to fetch things from the guests, especially spectacles and sunglasses. it would be better to hide or keep valuable items securely before roaming around. it is best to visit this place in late afternoon, since there will be a very entertaining kecak dance at 6 pm (make sure to go there latest at 5:30 pm or earlier to ensure good seating spots). the show itself has been slightly modified, by including some entertaining actions to make it more fund and ejoyable, very good one. however, the organizer should be able to limit number of guests to ensure safety and full action shows can be performed properly. in our case, i believe they have allowed way too many guests so many of them sits on the floor, limiting area for the dancer and dangerous if something wrong happens. this is why i only give this a 4 stars instead of 5 stars. this is also a good area for watching sunset, providing no clouds blocking our view.	8
22	it is actually not so old (there was ertqukake on bali on 60´) but looks very ancient, you dont need any guide (awoide them) ,some pools are with big gold fish and cichlids and you can walk on stones (see the picture of the place), in other pools it is possible to swimm (small fee to pay), it is good even in rainy days ,take walk aroun the place, it offers nice wievs.	2
23	we were there during the cny holidays, so it was fun packed. the sea breeze and wind fantastic. didn't manage to go to the other temple.	4
24	my friend and i rented a car from seminyak to explore uluwatu area for the day and were not disappointed. this was our favorite day trip by far. the temple was really beautiful and allowed you to get a closer look than other nearby temples we had visited. the stairs and walkway along the ocean were absolutely breathtaking. not too much walking and a few shady spots to hang out to get a break from the sun! note: the monkeys were definitely there, but were less bothersome than other places we’ve visited in bali (such as ubud). we barely noticed them!	8
25	the temple is on top of some absolutely massive cliffs, great for watching the big waves roll in. footpaths go along the cliffs in both directions for a good view of the temple. beware of the monkeys - they snatch people's phones and sunglasses, and you have to pay a temple attendant to get them back for you.	14
26	not too crowded but still lively. love the walking path along the beach and restaurants row. many good affordable food although not too many fancy restaurants. ideal for stay longer, family and elderly or people who have been to bali before.	2
27	famoust temple from all bali picture. in real look nothing special. monestery on the big rock in the sea. in bali got lot of better and awesomes temples!	2
28	the cliff itself was amazing. beautiful to watch the sunset scene. some walking paths are collapsing due to erosion. suggestions based on our experience - watch out for the monkeys. my prada sunglasses and my partner’s sunglasses were snatched by them at the same time. they were very sneaky and looking for every opportunity to steal. never underestimate them. i was fully aware that the monkeys steal. but he got mine from behind. we got them back in exchange for fruits but mine was damaged already. secondly, if you are going with taxi, there is no return taxi if you come back in the evening. even if you get one, the price will be more than 3 times than normal fare. its rip off trap. we tried to get a grab taxi but driver sent a bit suspicious texts like (cant come to your location... you need to walk 300m... make sure nobody is following you etc..). so we ended up hiring very expensive on the way back. our suggestion is you organise a tour guide, or private tour ensuring you will go home safe. remember; bali is fun but full scams and rip off city. will not comeback.	2
29	while there are heaps and heaps of temples all across bali this is one of my favourites – perfect at sunset if you can get there, there is also a fire dance show that is performed just after sunrise which can add that little more incentive to go . also if you have never seen long-tailed macaques (monkeys) there are plenty of them there (just hold tight onto anything you wouldn’t want pinched)	2
30	worth the crowds for the kecak dance. while the view was quite amazing, i'm not sure it'd be worth it alone, better to combine this with a sunset visit and enjoy the kecak dance while watching the sun set with the temple in silhouette. definitely worth the drive out here (it was about 2 hours from my hotel). watch out for the monkeys in the parking lot!	13
31	if you are in bali , don't miss being there in this awesome place to witness one of the best sunsets views here in bali tanah lot in bahasa means the land of the ocean , one of the most famous temples here , the rock shore with the high waves complete the sight food is a bet expensive there	18
32	this visit was worth it for the views. such spectacular scenery at every vantage point. it was very over crowded, people everywhere! you need to wear a sarong out of respect to the culture but this all adds to the experience. we managed to get tickets to the kecak dance amongst the hundreds of others that also wanted tickets. they crammed so many people into the arena, it was ridiculous!! we watched for 20 mins and left, kids got bored. there was one advantage to leaving early and that was that we were able to get photos with the dancers in their elaborate costumes as they came out. another plus to leaving early was that we avoided being caught in the crazy traffic. was glad we went but wouldn’t go back on my next trip.	13
33	the place was nice but the place is filled with too much tourists compared to the other smaller temples i had visited.	4
34	it's a very religious place and awesome beach. you can do pray there in traditional way and it's very religious place as well. you can click beautiful photos there near temple and beach. it will be included in any packages you hire for visiting bali.	2
35	i went to the temple before leaving bali. it's a short visiti there but i'm glad i had visited. this beautiful temple is a 'floating' temple. when i went there, it was high tides and i could not cross to the temple but it was a nice experience to walk further out to take picture of the holy temple. lovely place for sunset as well.	2
36	pura penataran agung lempuyang is a balinese hindu temple located on the slope of mount lempuyang in karangasem, bali. suggest you get there early in the day, as the crowds can get a bit much. there is usually a line of people waiting to get in to see the temple and have their photo taken. worth a visit	28
37	been here twice and it’s still the most beautiful to watch sunset in bali. this is a big place and there’s lot to explore, so wear your most comfy shoes and walk around. there’s a snake cave, parks and stalls selling all sorts of souvenir outside. must see when in bali.	2
38	it will cost us$6.00 ( idr60 000) per person to get to see the temple but so worth it especially if you are a 1st time visitor. there is a long walk in the heat, but this is bali so enjoy the view en route. the large market has a great sellection of goods at reasonable prices compared to some other areas. this is not a temple that you can enter but it really is worth the trip.	2
39	cute monkeys aside, it's not the main temple but the water temple and the dragonbridge next to it which is worth your time. dont expect a magnificant experience, and just enjoy the wild jungle and beautiful surroundings made by man. leave your sunglasses, water bottles and food in the car, and you'll have a great 30 minutes.	14
40	it’s a nice place to visit in bali ! the beach is clean and u can visit gwk culture park and see the traditional shows there.	2
41	the temple is really interesting but frankly ridiculously overrun with tourists. we left our hotel at 4:30 am and arrived at the temple as it opened at 6am. we were given a ticket with a number. the number apparently is for taking a picture at “heaven’s gate”. apparently people can wait as long as 5 hours for their picture later in the day. also the pictures really look nothing like the actual temple.	28
42	one of the must see temples in bali. awesome location with panoramic views of the ocean. it gets pretty crowded at sunset, so you may want to leave a little before sunset and head over to jimbaran to watch the sunset. you would need 40 minutes from uluwatu to jimbaran to be in time to get a spot on the jimbaran beach and watch the sunset.	8
43	uluwatu temple or pura luhur uluwatu is definitely one of the six key temples in bali that should not be missed. it is celebrated for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 meters above sea level. pura luhur uluwatu is definitely one of the top places on the island to go to for magnificent sunset, with direct views overlooking the beautiful indian ocean and daily kecak dance performances. every evening the balinese men perform kecak dance at this setting, so we do recommend you to visit the performance. when you are wandering around the temple be aware of the monkeys. by the local beliefs, the monkeys take care of the temple and protect it from bad influence and bad energy. they are not afraid of the tourists and they are naturally skilled pickpockets! we saw a guy who lost a phone to a monkey	8
44	the view of the temple is worth a glance. you won't be allowed to go in anyways, as all bali temples are known to be prayed from the outside. the architecture is usual but the location is good! the sunset is good but not great! but don't shy away from this place as the shopping is the cheapest in the entire bali. bargain to half the price they quote or even lesser sometimes! you will mostly get all the things you can buy in bali! don't miss! i had to go back to this place at the end of my trip to bali to shop!	2
45	we get there sunday before noon. it was already hot, but the area is still quiet, not many visitors yet. the entrance fee is idr 20000. there are quite a number of monkeys, big and small, in the area. we were told be on the watch for our sunglasses as it is one the favorite items to be snatched by the monkeys. we walked up the stairs to the the pura or temple area to see the nice view of the sea. it is spectacular. uluwatu, were were told, means the end of the rock. we saw a group of devotees dressed in white, some carried offerings, entering the area as we left. we were informed that more will be coming in the afternoon. the scenery is a very nice view to see. the time that we were there, however, is a bit hot. if you have time, explore a bit more by walking along the footpath by the sea.	8
46	one of the eight (8) temples built on the edges of the bali island to protect it, this is truly a remarkable piece of architecture from the past. though the walk towards the temple itself may not be as impressive but the temple ground itself is very calming. boast with a magnificent unobstructed view of the sea and chilled by the cooling sea breeze, this place is the best place for any individual who seeks to escape from the bustling city of bali. locals said it has one of the best sunset view in bali so be sure to reach the temple before 5:30pm as traffic starts to pile up by then. road access is very small and you don't want to be congested in the car and miss it.	2
47	the stepping stone pond area is very small. we stopped by because i really wanted to see the pond with gold fish. it is a very pretty place with a lot of water garden spots, but the focus of many tourists are the stepping stone areas. honestly, the photos make it look bigger, but it is actually very small. be warned: there are many tourists who are so obsessed with their instaworthy solo photos, its crazy how illogical and rude some of them are. they expect you to rush off so they can be with their friends and take photos, or shoo you away while you are also taking a photo. then you ask them to share the stepping stones and cross over - many cannot. the tourists think they are the only ones visiting there and allowed the picture perfect space. are bali tourists just more rude because it is economical to visit, so you get that type of tourists. it is a nice place, there's also a pool to cool off with change areas ( access is included with the ticket) . the pool is kinda greenish, but i saw people swimming in. there is also another man made lake beside the stepping stone pond where people can take a little boat to float away troubles. overall, it is an interesting complex that's a water park for people to literally try to cool off from the bali sun. the ornamental carvings are interesting once you get to finish taking your photos at the stepping stone pond, where the koi's are so fat (looks bigger than a new born child!) i think spending 2 -3 hours here to include people watching after the struggle to take a memorable photo.	2
48	visited here on a day trip. the temple itself is beautiful and we were fortunate to be here on a celebration day. we saw gammelon and dancers and it made it quite magical. the location itself is stunning and is the stuff of legend. it's peaceful, beautiful and steeped in history. i would return in a heartbeat :)	4
49	it's a small temple perched on the edge of a limestone cliff honed from black coral rock. beware the resident monkeys who will not hesitate to snatch and run off with your pair of designer sunglasses or hat! it's a spiritual place for the balinese so you have to wear a purple sarong (loin cloth) cover bare legs at the entrance once you buy tickets. it's worth a short visit for beautiful sunsets and dramatic pictures of the swirling surf pounding the limestone cliffs, but to manage expectations, this temple cannot compare to the larger ones in bali such as taman ayun or tanah lot.we visited as we were staying about 15 minutes away in alila uluwatu in pecatu. i wouldn;t recommend a special visit if you are staying a great distance away, but if you happen to be in the area (there is little else to do otherwise in pecatu other than surf) then do drop by. a kecak fire dance is performed daily at the temple for added atmosphere	8
50	this is a must see in bali. to see this temple on the rock surrounded by water is amazing. a very humbking experience	2
51	this is a water temple found in the sea. best part before you reach this destination it is surrounded by cafe, shopping arcade and restaurants.	4
52	we should have done more research but we were a bit surprised to find you have to pay for entrance and on top of it, pay to see the traditional sun set dance. for the price you pay, you would think they could have a toilet door that locks, with a toilet seat, with toilet roll that isn’t soaked, and a stall that isn’t flooded, with hand soap... the temple was underwhelming and we looked around wondering why we bothered to come. the only redeeming factors were the sunset views and the monkey sightings. while i can appreciate this might be someone’s must-see, i have preferred other temples i’ve seen. they give you a wraparound to cover up with in case you don’t have one :)	4
53	like many of the lake temples, this is many tiered, which is very balinese and beautiful. we walked a part of the way around the lake to get some wonderful photos of the temple. you can go out in boats if you wish .the scenery was magnificent	2
54	it's a temple by the sea. it's worth checking out especially sunset. the only bad thing is - very busy as this is one of the top attraction in bali. 👍🏻	2
55	this temple is built on the mountain i guess or it’s a cliff, be careful of monkeys it may steal ur sunglasses. it would be better if public are allowed to pray inside the temple. liked it very much because of cleanliness and they have maintained calm. must visit place in bali	2
56	this is definitely worth a visit if you are in east bali. it is high up in the hills with cooling breezes. the palace is interesting historically and has been well maintained to be a popular spot with indonesians. we were there on a sunday and there were many local groups visiting the swimming pool and enjoying the gardens and water features. the restaurant is a good spot for a cup of tea or juice.	2
57	is one of bali’s more famous sights due to its picturesque nature, a temple perched on a little rock island that can be accessed by foot during low tide.	2
58	given bali's numerous temples and the stunning location of these temples, it is very difficult to choose anyone's favourite. but if we have to choose the top3, tanahlot will definitely find its place. the broken beach and the calm beach make it an amazing sunset view point	18
59	one of the most beautiful place i've ever seen. the temple on the lake with hills around. whole area is well maintained. it was low season so not so crowded.	4
60	one of old temple on the the cliff with a such beautiful sunset and worth to visit when your holiday in bali	2
61	we went to visit the temple and to see the show. the temple itself is in a very pretty location, and the location is more amazing than the buildings. it gets crowded before the show, but the show is really good despite the huge crowd. the person who plays the monkey steals the show. the dancers are beautiful and the performers are amazing. i would highly recommend it.	14
62	this is one of the two big lake temples in bali (other being the one on lake batur). built in 1600's, the lake supports subak (irrigation). arrive early if you want to beat the crowd and take great pictures. the temple complex has nicely curated lawn and is well-maintained.	2
63	we went visit the temple and watch the sunrise. there were a beautiful view to the ocean. the sunset was amazing while the monkeys were running on the top of the fence which was in front of us. so wonderful! however the people cannot treat the monkeys,that s why there were many scary, crying children there. we visited the monkey forest before uluwatu. we know how to deal with them. (in the monkey forest a couple were drinking a cola - which is forbidden!- and one of monkey tried to taste it. they were scared and they were hiding behind us. the monkey climbed on my leg and sit on my sholder. after he jumped to my husbands bag and used zipper. one of his monkey friend joined and they tried to steal our suncream. my husband kept all the rule, he really slowly put the bag on the ground and they went away. ) that's why we weren't afraid of them. we kept all of the rule of monkey forest and we hadn't got any trouble. pleas first visit the monkey forest! after and just after the uluwatu. don't miss both of them! here we saw a guide who try to keep the distance between you and the monkeys. but it is impossible. he uses stick and slingshot. i prefer the monkey forest treatment. please check the monkey forest guideline on the internet and follow it!! it could be a beaitiful adventure just please give respect for the monkeys and use the monkey forest guideline. anyway you will intrude their territory.	8
64	what a beautiful experience. we went on a half day trip only to tanah lot temple, really helped us enjoy the experience. i rushed and not far to travel, we had the perfect amount of time to enjoy the gardens and temple before the sunset. i would highly recommend this half day tour to the temple only as it is a nice change of pace from other full day tours. our driver agus was most lovely, taking photos and explaining things to us. we enjoyed the market also, bought some original art directly from the artist and then enjoyed the relaxing sunset till the very end. so glad we did it!	17
65	one of the best places to visit in bali. very wonderful place. temple and sea, beautiful view. keep 3 to 4 hours spare for this lovely place.	2
66	heads up for the monkeys. they do steal but sparse when i went. the views from this place are something else and the temples hold good history. the fire dance is worth it and just views. amazing! hire a driver to get here, should be relatively cheap, we got ours for 300, half a day.	14
67	good place for take dinner, and very clear. we was here on september 2015, when we holiday in bali. thank you.	2
68	the temple has build around 11 centurys ,if you like to see sunset you can go this is place with your family,friends.	4
69	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.	4
70	breathtakingly beautiful sunset view with the waves , really can feel spiritual and relax. beautiful temples and as usual a bit touristy.	4
71	stunning shore view - from this cliff temple! what’s even more stunning is the kecak dance (if you’re into culture). try to get a high seating from where you can overlook the sea, along with the dance and sunset! must do!	13
72	we came here mostly for the views of the coastline which were just crazy beautiful. we didn't really see the kinds of temples that bali is known for. there are monkeys here so keep hold of your water bottles and sun glasses. we came during the early afternoon and i was sweltering hot but that's bali for you. if you don't want to borrow a sarong bring one with you because you need to have your knees covered to come in (it's considered impolite to show your knees at a worship site)	2
73	we visited during noon, it was very crowded and i would say that there was nothing too special to see. there was a high tide so i don't know if in cases of low tide you can visit the temple on the rocky island also but we got to see it only from a distance and there really was not too much to see. i would say that the pictures look better than it is in reality.	4
74	the temple would warrant 4 or 5 store, and the cliff side setting is absolutely spectacular, however in my opinion the \cultural\ dance is a complete waste of time. once they sell tickets to fill the arena, they keep on selling and pack people in like sardines. and then add some more. performance holds your attention for a few moments, than as the sun starts to go lower, a good portion of the audience (rightfully so) stands to watch it and take photos as it sets. once performance is half done, people start leaving..... but they keep selling tickets and more come in. this continues and i'd estimate that half the original crowd has exited by the time the show is 3/4 done. but they keep selling more tickets and packing it in........ overall huge disappointment.	13
75	this water temple is very beautiful with many decorations. cheap local tourguides who can tell you about the history and add that little extra.	4
76	when you are in bali, its worth visiting this place after a day trip as the sun set view from this spot is very nice. also the kecak dance show is also available at this place. however please be aware of the monkeys and make sure you don't display any shiny objects, sun glasses, food packet etc	2
77	we briefly stopped by this beach while driving from ubud to our other destinations in bali. it was not crowded at all during our visit. note that located near this beach is a temple that requires visitors to wear sarong and sash. entrance fee is 50,000. rupiahs per person.	2
78	it is a nice temple to see but not the best one in my opinion. bedugul or uluwatu are much nicer. i booked a private driver from seminyak and he charged me 400.000 ( return ). i think i could negotiate for a better price if i tried harder. we left at 11 am so the traffic was not so bad that time and it took as less than 1 hour to get there and another hour to get back. entrance fee is 65.000 per person. take at least 1 hour to walk around. morning is better time to visit because most people want to watch sunset and i think it gets very crowded in the evening, even the traffic must be very bad. 1 year ago i left kuta around 5 pm and we didn't make it to tanah lot due to very bad traffic. we got stucked and ended up driving back to kuta. there are many restaurants and caffees inside the complex, they even have a place where you can drink luwak coffee and actually see alive lusaka there :)	8
79	the uluwatu temple can only be described as stunning as it’s location is along the cliff edge. whilst there be sure to be very careful with back packs and ensure all sunglasses and reading glasses are put away in a safe location, if you require prescription glasses to walk then be super careful as while we where there we saw three tourists lose there sunglasses and prescription glasses to the monkeys. unfortunately for them the monkeys destroyed them within seconds.	8
80	this is the famous water temple of bali. it is located in the hills in northern bali, by the side of big lake. boat rides available in the lake. the temples are very beautiful and total atmosphere with the lake and the temples is divine.	2
81	this is one of the best places to visit in bali. great and peaceful place to visit. lovely views and architecture is amazing to see. must see place.	2
82	this place is an excellent choice for family and friends...the temple with its huge lake and overlooking the mountain is a beautiful sight..they have water activity like renting a speed boat with a chargeable fee...it was raining when we were there thus it was very misty and cloudy for us to take pictures....when we were done we were shopping at those little shops and of course bargaining with those shopkeepers...	4
83	we were so amazed wth the view while walking around the cliffs.. it's a long walk but never a tiring feeling since you have so much to see. it's a beautiful place and a romantic setting. definitely a must see in bali	2
84	you can walk around the grounds with nice cliff views and a view of the temple ( from rather afar). there are monkeys around the grounds- they will steal any loose belongings- beware, we saw one taking sunglasses. the temple is in a fantastic location. it is a shame you cannot get any where near the actual temple. the cliff view is good, otherwise there is nothing to excite. why you have to wear a sash ( and sarong, if you have bear legs) is beyond my understanding as you really are no where near any praying or holy ground- i suspect that the charge and entry fee are jobs for the temple. the whole site is full of coaches of tourists. shops sell the usual stuff to be seen all over bali. if you like cliff views- the trip is worth while. if you want to see monkeys, perhaps come, otherwise culturally it has nothing to offer. the sunset at the harbour and fish market nearby was wonderful, and free of coaches of tourists.	2
85	bali is known for magnificent temples and tanah lot temple can top the list with its mesmerizing view. the sunset here is an amazing think to watch. when you see from far temple looks like floating in the water which gives it a perfect photogenic view.	18
86	we went to see tanah lot at sundown with asia world tours. when you drive in, there is a massive parking lot full of cars and coaches. i had no idea how big or how busy the area is. there was some kind of arts festival going on when we visited, so i don't know if it was especially busy but the place was heaving... there are several temples here, with the one on a rock the most iconic and what i thought of if someone said 'bali' before i actually came to the island. however, the evening we visited the tide was way out beyond the temple, and the beach and surrounding rocks were swarming with people! not the view i was expecting and i have to say i was rather disappointed. it was very touristy and a million miles from the sacred site i had imagined. oh, and make sure you have some small change as you need to pay to use the not very nice toilets!	18
87	this place was extremely crowded. the seats are concrete open air area style and aren't comfortable; they also spray mosquito poison around dusk. the view and the dancers made it worthwhile.	13
88	a beautiful place. even if you aren't too excited by temples- the scenery here is magnificent. the kecak dance at 6pm is a beautiful insight into the grand culture of bali. highly recommended!	2
89	it is a hindu temple in bali. more possibility of being a shiva or vishnu temple. entry to temple is not allowed. but priests outside worship vishnu and snakes. however, apart from the mythology the key attraction is the location and the view. it is by far the best beach sunset point i have visited. the natural rock formations, the sea and the sunset collectively give a perfect picturesque landscape. it is a eyecandy for sure. the temple is on a single huge rock on the edge of beach. as the sunset nears, the sea tide covers the beach and the rock appears to be standing tall in the sea then. it is a natural marvel. i wish i had got chance to see the temple from inside also. but whenever they do open it, i am for sure going back to this place.	2
90	my husband and i did a half day private tour to uluwatu temple and also booked the cultural show. we were looking forward to it however in reality it did not meet our expectations. this is because the sacredness and reverence we expected of this historic temple seemed to be missing. it felt like an over run under managed tourist mecca set up to fleece as many punters as possible and the aggressiveness of some of the staff did little to dissuade us. we found the state of the toilets as unsanitary, tourists running amuck with little regard for the sanctity of the temple, people perched on and over anything (whilst taking pictures and inconveniencing others) and the chaos in the carpark made it difficult to find our driver at nightfall amongst a large number of buses and taxis etc... it was a bit of a nightmare. however the sunset was stunning and the monkeys a delight to watch. would we go again? probably not unfortunately.	8
91	unfortunately, they now have built ugly concrete walls all along the rim of the cliff, masking the once fantastic and virgin sight down to the sea. in other terms: they are \beautifying\ the whole temple complex into a disney style attraction. there is only one single gate (for photos shots) which can be opened onto a platform giving way to an unmasked view on the indian ocean and it's powerful waves smashing against uluwatu rocks. lucky i have known and appreciated this highlight during better times! beware of the nasty monkeys which snatch anything they can get and never return! consequently: nice to visit at sunset.	8
92	i was expecting just the main temple but was surprised with others in the same complex. despite the rainy weather, a very nice place.	4
93	uluwatu temple south of kuta a large complex that has stone steps walkways around the cliffs with great ocean and cliff views. there are many monkeys around the parking area take photos from a distance, entry fee is 50000 rp	8
94	beautiful rainforest with cute monkeys, they won't bite you if you don't disturb them. there are pretty huge ancient hindu temples. go to the temple below the main path, it's very nice spot to take pictures. better come there during hindu's special day, so you guys can dress up and join praying as it will be very interesting.	14
95	be careful from the monkey they like to steal tourist's sunglasses. long way to get nice view to seen the sun from the top of uluwatu temple. you can found long stairs like china's great wall and you will meet some monkeys too in there. monkeys everywhere lol.. you can see the show called tari kecak dancing also had great see the sunset while watched traditional balinesse dancing ;)	8
96	i'm still left in awe after almost 2 years from my visit to uluwatu.. the never-ending foaming white waves of the indian ocean crashing endlessly against the sheer cliffs gave me a sense of how small i really was in the vast perspective of life itself. although many tourists visit this holy site, i still found sufficient place to enjoy the view and vibes of this place. in short, a must-go as long as you're in bali	8
97	recomend this place to visit while in bali, esp to watch the kecak dance at sunset. you have to come earlier, they open the ticket booth at 4 pm and it sold out very quickly. the seat is also unreserved, so you have to que earlier to get the best spot to watch this traditional dance with sunset view. worth every penny.	2
98	we didn't know there is festival on bali island and there were traffic everywhere. we got stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours! there is only one way in! when we arrived, it's already pass sunset time. the view is great but the temple itself is not as decorated as other temples. so if you are going there, make sure you have time to catch the sunset. i think it doesn't worth the drive to go for the temple unless you want to experience the history.	2
99	800k rupiah entrance fee was well worth the money. if you hold out a banana (which they sell) the monkeys will climb on your arm and shoulders. in addition to the monkeys there is a hindu temple, crematory and cemetery. definitely very cool.	14
100	must visit for people touring bali. the temple looks stunning in the evening. good place for great photographs. along the way you get some good shops for making small purchases.	2
101	wonderful place to visit and enjoy seeing the sunset!!must keep atleast 1-2 hours to see the place and see the world famous kecak dance .	13
102	tanah lot is very incredible with the temple over the cliff on the sea. surround this place there are many corals and people can play the sea water. this place also good for photgraphy. fully recommended one.	17
103	one of the most spectacular temples in bali. little difficult to get there but worth it. with car it took us almost 2,5 hours from ubud. last part of journey are really curvy and narrow roads but with nice view on palm forest and rice threes. entrance to temple is free but donation is appreciated. temple is huge and to the top is almost 2 hours walking. for those who don't want - \heawens gate\ are first, 3 minutes walking:)	2
104	one of the most popular tourist attractions in bali, this is a hindu temple perched on a large rock with the background of the ocean. the setting is very picturesque and makes for stunning photographs, which is why it is flooded with tourists in the evening around sunset. since the rock formation is slightly offshore, tourists can walk across to the temple during low tide; like all temples in bali, the non-balinese are not allowed to enter the temple. the walk to tanah lot (from the parking area) is very commercialized and tourists have to walk through lanes packed with souvenir shops and a few coffee shops. there are also a couple of restaurants catering to visitors on the cliff top with views of the ocean and temple.	18
105	we went to temple for the sunset view. it was unfortunate that it was a cloudy day. but that’s nature you can’t challenge but what was disappointing and sad was the fraud in a religious place. there was a line for holy water. we stood in the line: after that there were 2 so called priest who were waiting to give a flower and put tika. but they forcefully expected us to put money. when we refused they just pushed us aside and didn’t give the flower or the tika. then whenever we walked ahead to climb the steps we we’re stopped and not allowed to go up since we had not paid near the holy water. the 2 men who claimed they were priest looked more like rogues dominating. the people who were allowed went up only a few steps to see that the gates were closed and no entry- people with the hope to see the view from the temple paid to those priest but these guys didn’t even mention that anyway there is no entry. total farce in the name of religion and fooling tourist i am attaching photos showing those people who were collecting money and those stopping people from entering till they pay.	4
106	this forest has many benign monkey than uluwatu, the jump on my head but do nothing. i see not many people being steal compare than monkey in uluwatu temple	8
107	a must see for sunset. great views of the sea as well. stayed for kecek and fire dance which was very impressive and enjoyable to watch. 30k entrance fee including sarong.	13
108	the architecture and beauty of the old temple buildings are simply divine. the crowd does get tiresome and you can go early to beat the tourists, as it's difficult to get great shots. walk all around as there are some gorgeous old trees around the temple. there are several designs on the paths as well which you will notice during your walk-around. it is not possible to physically visit the temples in the water, but you can take a boat ride in the glorious water with the mountain as a back drop.	4
109	sacred curiosity is what drew me to this temple. i wondered was it as amazing as i thought? it was breathtakingly beautiful even with the other sunset seekers.	4
110	if you don't visit any other temple while in bali, make sure you visit this one. it's only about a half hour drive from seminyak, legian etc. we were there at high tide, but i think that you can walk over to it when it is low tide. yes, it is really busy and full of coaches and day trippers but it is also a great view and you could sit with a picnic or grab an ice cream. as you enter into the temple there are a few streets with market stalls and they are actually really good for bargaining and buying your souvenirs and cheap clothing. we understand that it is one of the top spots to watch the sunset from. we went during the day and it was busy. i can only imagine that it must be packed at night.	2
111	for sunset hunting, this landmark is perfect for sunset but too crowd people in this place, recommended in bali must place to go	2
112	we went in the afternoon, it was very hot! but we had an umbrella with us, so it protected us alot! try to go in the early morning, it will be more beautiful!! always carry water with you. be hydrated. 600ml bottle costs only rp3000. but watch your step while going to temple. bought some bali snacks, banana chips from old lady there	4
113	the tanah lot temple is located on a large offshore rock with waves of india ocean crashing onto the shore. one of the iconic seven sea temples in bali, it is dedicated to baruna, the sea god. we went there for watching the famed sunset. however, the area was crammed with large number of tourists. thankfully, we managed to get places to sit from where we watched the beautiful sunset. the vast indian ocean with it's majestic waves was a treat to the eyes. if you are able to shut out all the obnoxious noises of the surrounding, the sunset will be a lifetime experience for sure. we even saw the god rays seeping through the clouds as the sun was about to set. it was a remarkable experience. try to reach there early to get a proper spot to experience the sunset and also to avoid the traffic on the way.	18
114	people come to this temple to take a picture with a piece of glass. yes the photo is spectacular and instagram is full of these pictures but it’s a shame that people don’t come for the history and religion.	4
115	one of my favourite place in bali. second famous place for sunset. tanah lot place is better for sunset if you ask my opinion. anyway i'm a nature lover, so i just spend my time m watching the beautiful of scenery. those who want to visit this temple, please wear proper clothing, cover you knees. bring your camera to capture beautiful sunset scenery of uluwatu.	8
116	it is nice to go there and watch the sunset and fire dance show, however it is like most temples in bali and can be skipped if you are on a tight timeline.	2
117	tanah lot temple is located along a picturesque coast in the island of bali. walk along the boardwalk while watching the magnificent temple and the waves that hit the cliff. there is also a place for a holy water and even a holy snake. be surprised with the different cuisines at the nearby restaurants while you enjoy the fantastic sunset.	18
118	you won't feel the magic or serenity since this place is very popular and setup for tourists. but it's still worth a visit, just imagine the place without tourists. get close to the water and you'll get a photo without any people in them. it's worth the hike up to the lookout, to see tanah lot rock below, but be prepared for the heat! you can make a $5 donation for a blessing by the \holy\ spring, why not :)	17
119	very beautiful there. i have seen dancing with the national identity of bali.that is wonderful. i hope i can go there again soon.	2
120	this place is famous for its sunset. the views are good but there are hoards of tourists. tourists are not allowed in the temple also. good place for some clicks make sure you reach there before sunset time.	4
121	uluwatu (pecatu) is beautiful place with a memorable mix of mountain and ocean. its a must visit place for people not living on islands. when i visited this place the ticket cost was 30000 idr per person (adult) which includes a sarong (has to be returned at exit). if you want to watch kecak (balinese traditional dance) and fire show, the ticket cost is seperate and payable inside the uluwatu premises after the entry. however, if you don't have enough time you can skip the dance and show. this place is located in the forest and has lot of naughty monkeys. beware !! they snatch belongings like - cap, glasses, mobile phones etc so that you give them something to eat. once they snatch they break and tear !! all you should do is ask people around to call local guide who will help you get it back and best is to keep such things in the bag while roaming around if the monkeys are around.	8
122	we have seen many temples whilst holidaying in bali but this one was definitely one of the nicest ones! very nice place to hang out and feed the fish ;-)	2
123	it is a beautiful complex, and although it is quite a ways out from the city, it is well worth the trip, especially around sunset. be careful when going down on the rocks around the temple, quite easy to slip and fall, especially for those with large cameras.	4
124	this place famous long time ago. and now not to famous for young traveler. because no activity like night club here not like kuta. but good choice when you want romantic, relax places in bali. restourant so good to	2
125	a must visit place when you are in bali. nice scenery form different spot. but always beware when water sea level increasing. your pant or shoe will wet during this time due to wave from the sea. a lot of souvenirs you can get from this place if you have no time to buy at other places.	2
126	ulu watu temple is a beautiful temple located in the cliffs in front of the ocean. the viws are amazing and the walk inside the temple is quite relaxing. i recommend you go during sunset or sunrise. the temperatures there get really hot during mid-day. the entrance fee is not very expensive and the photos you can take there are amazing...have a look...	8
127	the location was amazing and very scenic all around the temple everywhere. you can sit in or take a look around the temple expect to sweat a little.	4
128	we were enjoying the traditional dancing performance which brought us towards an amazing sunset background. beautiful and unforgettable moment. enjoying soooo much.	13
129	this is one of the must visit places in bali and sunny day is the best time to visit this temple to appreciate the beauty of it. although, tourists are not allowed inside this temple, the view from outside itself is very good. the breath of fresh air makes you rejuvenated. do visit the restaurant near the temple to enjoy the view of temple and have some good lunch. try to avoid buying any things here, for that matter anywhere in bali, as they are of poor quality.	2
130	this is a lovely place to go and visit-a beautiful temple celebrating the god of water. the lake and mountains are lovely surrounds. however, go early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the crowds during the day. it gets so overcrowded there, you can barely take a picture without someone getting in the shot. not exactly the peaceful place it looks on the postcards but i can imagine it is lovely if you get there before the tourists hoards.	4
131	we went to the temple with my friends and our driver assistance all of our trip. the temple was nice view by cliffs, some monkeys around.	14
132	hi, the tanah lot temple is located near the pan pacific nirwana resort (about 10 minutes walk). the temple is worth the visit however you cannot enter the temple, and the closest you get is the stairs at the bottom of the \island\. you can also only get close at low tide. there are people everywhere, \official\ photographers and a small number of shops. you don't get hassled that much when walking around the base of the island. if you found this review helpful, please leave a \helpful vote\. happy travelling!	17
133	this temple right at the sea shore is simply beautiful, the complex is huge, with many places for snaps. there are food stalls, eateries and handicraft stores in the complex. the sunset view of tanah lot is worth waiting for followed by fire dance.	17
134	this was an incredible find on our tour around east bali. this was a lovely well preserved attraction. the gardens are well maintained and entry price is under $2. great place for photos!	2
135	located right at the southern most tip of bali. getting there from kuta is quite a trip. eventough its a short distance, it took us more than an hour to get here. traffic was really bad getting here. we when for the kecak by the sunset. there s an entrance fee to go in to the temple area and the kecak performance inside (idr100k). you can’t actually go inside the temple , it’s only for people who are praying. getting to the top was quite a climb. the view and the sunset are worth waiting for. just be ready for the many people that are coming here for the same thing!	2
136	we enjoyed visiting tanah lot temple. there is no dress code. at low tide you can walk over to the base of the temple. there were plenty of places to eat at reasonable prices and lots of market stalls. now is the right time to go as it isn’t too busy.	17
137	its bit far from the main city area, but well worth a visit. the view once on top is excellent - a straight cliff and just the ocean till the horizon. we couldn't see the temple from inside due to some ongoing religious ceremony. the kecak fire dance is fun, specially bcos they don't use any musical instruments, its just the performers own voices that give the rhythm and beats for the performance. there are some aggressive monkeys around the temple area, so one needs to be careful, although there's not much one can do about this situation. try and avoid carrying food stuff with you.	13
138	this is another place of interest to visit where you can see the temple just near to the sea. i am not sure if you can walk in but taking pictures should be fine..	4
139	absolutely beautiful water garden made evn more interesting with a stepping stone path through the water. huge carp everywhere. huge crowds as well but then this seems to bee the norm in bali. you are never alone..	2
140	it's a beautiful water garden in east bali with a lot of fishes in the waters. it will be a very good attraction for kids.	2
141	i've heard that many people go to this temple at sunset so we decided to go at sunrise to beat the crowd and avoid the heat. best decision although if you are going for photography purposes (as we were) please note that the sun does not rise seaward. besides a few other people we had the place to ourselves to take photos and wonder through the gardens. non of the markets were open when we arrived so we weren't hassled. when we were done (around 9am) people started to flock in and all the markets had opened so we had some breakfast and get out before the heat struck. 30 minute drive from canggu and worth it.	4
142	this temple is worth visiting for the views alone as it is built on top of a cliff. there is a nice walk on either side of the temple along the cliffs. not sure if it was just the day we were there, but the monkeys were never an issue and we only really saw a few of them.	14
143	pura tanah lot is almost an hour drive from kuta, and is one of bali's most prominent spots for photography. the place can get really crowded with tourists and hawkers. even at crowded times, if you walk a little bit far (towards the right side), you can find spots with very less people around that are much calmer and better, and can still enjoy the scenic beauty around. more than the temple itself, the place offers superb views of the sea, and the rock formation on which the temple is built. the sunset here is spectacular, and is the best time to be around. we reached there at around 4ish in the evening, and stayed back even after sunset. the feeling was just amazing! only during low tides can one cross the water to reach the temple. still, you can only enter the temple if you are balinese. shops selling souvenir and food line both sides of the walkway, that lead from the car park to the entrance of pura tanah lot.	18
144	so i read all the reviews before going and was on watch for sneaky monkeys but one moment of focusing the camera and my sunnies were gone! i was actually very impress how quickly and cleanly they were taken from my face without even a scratch. refusing to pay the local guy to get them back ( i assume he trained the monkey to work the scam in the first place). i wrote them off and continued. cliff was nice with great views. temple was just ok so i don't think it's worth going out of your way for.	14
145	compared to others in bali this is not one of my favourites. it isn't over crowded but you can't walk along it barefoot without getting stabbed by something.	2
146	when we went there there was too much traffic due to a local feast. it was that day, once every hlaf year, that they pray there to siva - i think. we were so lucky!!we felt their loyalty to their gods. the guide told us that nimarta, their kind of prophet, chose that place after building tanh lot, as the best place to complete his work. the temple is really small, but at the edge of huge cliff, where you see the indian ocean, the trees, monkeys all around.	17
147	this is a must see whilst visiting bali. grounds are well kept. but the vendors and the hundreds of other visitors take away from this place a little bit. other than that this is still a nice place to see and visit	2
148	the friends we were with came here 28 years ago when you walked into the temple, beach and cliff top from the road. now like most things it is highly commercialised. you pay to park and enter the temple compound and then you negotiate a whole faux village with hundreds of souvenir and clothing shops, most in balinese style but weirdly the odd western brand e.g. ralph lauren polo, which looked stupidly out of place. we climbed the path to the cliff edge which is full of rows of bars so you must buy a drink to sit in front of the view of the sunset. the sunset made it worthwhile but the rest spoilt it for me.	4
149	not a bad venue.. but go either, very early .. to avoid all the school buses or very late...to catch sunset.. the temple faces due west.. so with a bit of awkward twisting.. you should be able to get the ideal selfie for social media. that being said.. as far as all the other temples go in bali.. this temple made the hit list because of the position on a cliff top.. the temple site itself is closed for tourists, as it is an active place of worship... and it misses a great deal of art and design that makes bali so unique.. again note... its far away from everything else.. i mean really far .. and with traffic in bali what was meant to be a quick 30 minute drive turned into a journey into the mountains... this is one place you don't want to hike / bike or bus too.. grab a driver for the day and make you way.. there are lots of hills.. lots of traffic.. zero too no traffic rules or enforcement.. and pretty much everyone drives per their own impression of what the rule of law might be. back to the temple.. dress code.. modest... your entrance fee will also include a sarong that will need to be returned after the visit. from the entrance gate it's an easy down hill walk.. but coming back.. if you are not active.. pace yourself.. the incline can take the wind out of you.	2
150	we stopped by here for a nice view by the lake and spent sometime seeing the temples and taking photos here, lovely spot and had some peace at mind	4
151	uluwatu temple is in my top 3 favorite places in bali. breathtaking view, beautiful sunset and just an amazing temple set on the rock. make sure to go earlier, to enjoy the view and walk around to click nice photos. you will also find a lot of monkeys, but be careful with your phone, sunglasses or any accessories. whoever wants to watch the kecak dance, i think uluwatu temple is the best place, which starts at 6pm and the ticket is idr 100,000.	8
152	we missed catching the best sun set at the magnificent uluwatu temple located at the farthest southern tip of bali on top of the hill overviewing the indian ocean. it was heavy downpour when we got there and we just have to contain ourselves enjoying watching the wave splashes down there which is truly sublime. we reached it in less than 2 hrs from the denpasar airport on board a van. we also missed the kecak ritual dance, better check out the schedule prior to visit.the place is sacred and we were instructed to cover and wear sarong. monkeys were all over so beware they might pull your sling or buddy bags.	8
153	it was the first temple we visited that before getting to it our driver said: it's beautiful. he did not say the same about any other places, with such sincerity. the number of locals having fun at the temple/park also tells you that it is something that they treasure. we recommend going to this place, taking some time to go around the entire area. some were smoking, which we found a bit disturbing to the area. some groups were singing and playing. it might disturb tourists but if that is their way of enjoying their park and temple, i am happy that they do it. the lake was foggy and even more beautiful than i could imagine, since it gave a mystery look to all those buildings. we just avoided an are where we were the only two, and only one guy who was looking too much for us. probably an useless tourist fearfrom us. it was a great visit, do take the time to visit it.	4
154	nice view overlooking the ocean. it gets super crowded in the evening as many gather to watch the sunset and a famous dance called god and fire. we went for the view before sunset in jimbaran beach.	4
155	this is a great place.... i love the views. a lake surrounded by mountains, and in the middle of the lake u'll see the temple called ulun danu. it was such a beautiful view.. never have i seen such a beautiful lake like this. i really love the weather.. it was worth to get there for 1.5 hours to be arrived by motorcycle from kuta. 😂 pretty crazy but it was so cool indeed.. 😎	30
156	the temple located almost on the edge of a lake, which is again surrounded by mountains, is very scenic. we reached here on saraswaty pooja day, when many young boys and girls offered prayers in the traditional dress. this is the second most important temple in bali. actually all the important temples of bali are in the lap of nature..	2
157	when my friends and i went to this temple for the fire dance we were under the impression that there would be lots of fire and fun tricks and such, but that was not really the case. this is more of a cultural show, telling a story of the past through fun costumes, there is some fire and lots of music. it was an entertaining show but the stands were very crowded with people and it was a little pricey to get in. the show happens while the sunsets over the cliffs and ocean in the background of the show and makes for a amazing view!	13
158	ok walk through with hundreds of tourists. would recommend going in the morning if you just want to see the temple, but we went at 5pm right before the fire dance (which was pretty cool, but i've never been so disgusted with tourists, as they completely disrespected the dancers by getting up mid act and walking through the dance floor..)	13
159	we have been visiting the temple during a religious ceremony. it was really unique. we also followed the ritual of the ceremony with the holly water and the rice. we enjoyed it a lot. our intention was to enjoy the sunset from the temple. unfortunately it was not possible because the weather was clouded. take this into account if you are planning to go there for the sunset view. the place is amazing!!	4
160	it really is a must see especially at sunset. there are some gorgeous views and photo opportunities and you can avail of a blessing at the base of the temple. it really is spectacular a must see	4
161	visit: beginning of march 2020 company: bali 4u tours booking: through chase ultimate rewards and many other tour sites we got lucky in that there was a ceremony at the tanah lot temple, so definitely a great/unique thing for us to witness. the temple itself is beautifully situated on the water. but had it not been for the ceremony, would i return? i am not sure i would go out of my way to go here. it was a 2 hour drive for us and the drive made me sick, so i am a little biased in that. but i do rate all of my reviews based on would i go out of my way to come back and for me, it's a no. luckily, there are many other sites close by	18
162	lovely place with stunningly beautiful foliage and landscaping. the monkeys are 10x more well behaved than at uluwatu temple, so if you're worried- don't be! very hot and humid, though there is plenty of shade.	8
163	this temple is situated on a spectacular cliff. we had heard that sunset was an amazing time to visit-- so did everyone else! lots and lots of people. you don't go into the actual temple-- we were able to witness some offerings. beware of the monkeys! one took off with a child's flip flop and then someone had some purell and the monkey was drinking it!! we did not stay for the show-- you need to get there early and wait. it was a cloudy day so the sunset was not remarkable. but this is a must see-- hope you enjoy!	14
164	so this is an important hindu temple in bali... but like many temple you can not actually visit the temple. just the surroundings. and tanah lot is not that special. maybe with the aunrise it is more of a special place. but during the day it is just a cliff with a temple you cant visit surrounded by thousand stalls that want to sell stuff. it is visited by hundreds at the same time so it is also very crowded	18
165	not sure how old is this pace, all arts look like pretty much old. excellent view of valley never thought there is water body and old pools, statues. monkey is not wild like uluwatu.	8
166	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..	2
167	me and my family (including 1,5yo girl) had breathtaking experience here. watching kecak trance is a must thing to do here. you can both enjoying the sunset over the cliff while watching kecak. make sure you arrive here an hour before the attraction start or you'll ended sitting on the floor like me and missed out the sun set.	13
168	nice view of the temple, but filled with selfie tourists especially during low tide, making it quite a task to get a decent shot of the temple. don't stand too close to the shore rocks lest you get splash by the incoming waves. for those who are adventurous, the temple is accessible during low tide.	4
169	beautiful temple located in an amazing scenery. the views are breath-taking with a lake and mountains in the background. definitely a must visit when in bali	2
170	is an old temple. not recommend for elderly or travelers with knee problem due to a lot of stairs taken to visit each section. beware of the trained monkeys that will snatch tourist loose sun glass/ key chain/ slipper or hat. they have nice sunset too. at 6pm, they do have kecek dance (culture dance + fire performance) with entree fees of 100k rupiah as of sept 2014. one hour performance. worth to catch it if you are first time travelers.	13
171	my most wanted wish list came true! to see the enigmatic kecak dance and being able to see the balinese performers don in their traditional attire with full makeup! im just 'drowned' myself with the 1 hour performance..the blend of hindu & bali culture ..oh mannn sooo beautifully executed! i simply love the men in makeup more!	2
172	this is a 'must see' site. it is loaded with tourist. it is not typical balinese temple because it is not easy to get to and has little local visitations. it is old and important but is missing the offerings and prayerful attendance found elsewhere.	2
173	my husband and i recently spent two weeks on bali on our honeymoon, and we went to visit uluwatu. i had seen many beautiful photos of the sunsets there, so we were really excited about our trip. when we arrived, i was appalled to see how grimy the area was - so much rubbish all over the place, which seemed very disrespectful considering this location is meant to be a sacred temple! we went inside, and made our way down to the cliff face, and the views were absolutely stunning - panning right out over the indian ocean, it was nothing short of amazing. i had my sunglasses stolen by a monkey, and a few minutes later they were returned by a seemingly well meaning local. we gave him some money, and he immediately said it has taken him ages to chase the monkey, and he had to coax him down with many many eggs... (he was actually only gone for about 2 minutes), and demanded more money. we didnt have any more money to give him, so my husband told him that, and said if he was not happy with what we were offering, he could either take the money, keep the glasses or have nothing at all. he took the glasses. it seemed incredibly convenient that literally the minute my glasses were stolen, a man immediately followed the monkey into the forest.... there were coach loads of people there to see the fire dance in the evening, and i just think they could have made more of an effort to keep this area clean. hawkers should learn to just leave people alone - we got reeally fed up by people trying to sell us tat at a stupid price... if we want it, we will come to you.	8
174	we haven't seen such a beautiful sunset which we experienced from the cliff of tanah lot. its perfect place for the couples to spend their memorable evening and watching the colors spread by the sun while setting. trip to bali without visiting this spot is useless. have to try this.	18
175	tanah lot temple is considered as one of the most important sights in bali. however it is extremely crowded and well commercialized. we went there to observe the sunset, but doing so with thousands of other tourists with hundreds of persons trying to sell you everything on earth took all the magic away.	18
176	good to go during evening to see the sundown with a coconut drink in hand. spectacular view of the temple on the rock. lot of shops which you must bargain, for muslim there is asi padang\ at the car.bus parking area. could rent a van for 7 pax at ind 300k to tour this area for the duration of 5 hours to and fro. take a photo with the ready photographer for just on ind 20k for a picture, its worth it.	17
177	this is the 1st place we visit when reached bali. the stunning view is more than the photo, the sun, sea and wind make us relax. beware for the monkeys	2
178	this is a very beautiful place to visit and relaxing at large park. temple, lake mountain and the sky on the background, it's truly a good place to just enjoy bali and the nature. walking, take pictures, enjoy the grass and flowers and trees.	2
179	the temple is on a high cliff, so we could not go up. we viewed it from a distance. some construction work was going on. we were just at the sunset time, so view was good. though, there were lot of monkeys around the place and some were bit wild. it is considered one of the best temples, but we found it okay. there was not much to do and we didn't spend much time over there. for us, it was check the box type of visit. i would think twice before going there again.	14
180	on the grounds in front of the temple there are several local people who sell something to drink or eat. you do not really need an guide, but maybe not unwise when you are here for the first time. note!!!! the monkeys around the temple are very brutal. look well after your glasses, sunglasses, camera and other valuables closely, because the monkeys are smart. you can be entertained for an hour on the ground, so be on time. the seats at the dance are very hard. so if you have sensitive buttocks, then take something of a cushion. because it is quite a long ride. the dance is just amazing. especially the men who do the act ke-cak cak's just an great experience to witness. all in all a great night. worth repeating!	13
181	this location gives you the best view point of both the beach and the temple. the location shows you the best of south coast of bali	2
182	we stayed in a hotel very close to tanah lot temple. we went there every morning and evening for 5 successive days. it is truly one of the best place to visit in bali, especially at sunset time. it is absolutely beautiful.	18
183	this amazing site is located in the east coast of bali. a big pond with many beautiful floating statues, a picturesque green garden, a charming bridge...all are impressive in serene atmosphere. this is a really wonderful work of arts.	2
184	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.	4
185	we visited to see the sunset view and dance. it was really busy there and as we didn't know that ticket for dance are likely to be sold out we did not buy them in advance. when getting there it was sold out so no change to see the dance. scenery over the cliff was nice and it was fun to walk around the area.	13
186	the temple is a spot in the imensity of the sea. situated on to the small rocks has nothing special...but you can feel and smell the sea fighting with the land in a positive way. yng - yang...i have no ideea but you can feel the great sea on the pacefull with your mind there are a lot of visitors but you can feel that you are alone with your mind. and all over the place you can find the stone figurine with the own gods. beautiful...a dream place and believe me i visit the piramide and china. this is a place that you must see. also you can buy from bazar a peint with a good price...an excellent souvenir.	4
187	tanah lot looks different depending on the time of day and weather conditions. the sea here can be quite rugged, and when it is, you get a completely different atmosphere. i came here first in 1988 and i must say it has changed a lot with the markets and memorial. certainly worth the trip.	17
188	we hadn’t been to uluwatu temple before on our travels so thought we would check it out. the views are beautiful. you are given a sarong to wear included in the admission price. only downside was to be careful of the monkeys as they steal glasses, hats and personal belongings but you are warned before you go in. we didn’t wear our glasses or hats and were fine. we would recommend visiting uluwatu.	8
189	make sure that you have great walking shoes and can go up stairs - it is breath-taking so take your time and enjoy the view. you go in one direction and it takes about an hour to view the place. you are going uphill in the first part and then you will come across a lot of monkeys when you leave the temple area. they are not fazed by tourists so they will come close to you except the babies as they stay in the wooded area.	14
190	not a large and can walk round in 30 mins. worth a visit. clean and some good pic ops. not as impressive as i imagined but still worth a visit if up in the area. its a long way from sanur/ central bali if just for this destination.	2
191	consider expensive place to visit if you are going with family with a lot of people. you can only view from outside. surrounding there are a lot of shops selling variety of items. nothing interesting. total cost / fees for the visit. 1. entrance : 60k for adult and 30k for children. see attached receipts. 2 parking fees for car: 5k. overall it is a unique temple built on top of a rock near by the sea. you can go near to the temple during low tide. recommend to visit once for experience.	4
192	tanah lot temple (pura tanah lot) is a temple you have to visit when in bali. it's located in the ocean and is best accessible at low tide. it's a good place to see the sunset as well.	18
193	i can go on and on but will jump right to the ending statement. if you visit bali this is a must see. the views are breathtaking. the monkeys are cute. the cultural dance was colorful and expressive. my only advice is have a good driver as this is a very popular spot and is very crowded around the sunset.	2
194	this temple is really incredible, you won´t regret to walk along the hill, looking to the ocean, having some interaction with the little monkeys, smelling the flowers and watching a beautiful sunset in the end of the day! there are also some places to buy food, drinks and also an atm.	4
195	this place was breathe taking. the temple there are amazing. also you have to pay fee and get the proper balinese clothing. buy some fruits but again keep lose items away from the monkey. the balinese show is a must to see its 80000 rupees. starts at 6pm and goes for about 2hours. good to see and learn the culture and the balinese dance history.	2
196	overall you can only see the temple from the ground and cannot really climb the rock. there are several cultural buildings you can walk though for nice photos. you can receive a blessing from the springs for a small donation was was a nice experience.	4
197	it was so busy with tourists that we didn't even go to the actual temple. we just enjoyed the view of the ocean and rocks. the monkeys aren't very friendly and steal your stuff. our tour guide adviced us to bring a stick to keep the monkey at a distance, but don't hit the monkeys!	14
198	worth visiting for excellent access to the clifftop coastline and historic temple. in the heat of the day, there's a bit of walking to take in all the view points - the view of the temple headland from the north was preferred. many monkeys present that have been conditioned by naive tourists to play a game of \who's the smartest and the quickest?\ and the monkeys win on both counts. in our short visit we saw 2 pairs of sunglasses taken by monkeys and another monkey disappearing with glasses in hand. no guarantee that they will be retrieved. the area could be improved by interpretative signage about the temple and its histroy.	14
199	amazing view with agung mountain located in the east side of bali island very nice place for take a picture	2
200	set on the west coast of the island, tanah lot is an interesting place to visit if you're into temples. it also helps if you're into large crowds, being pushed into and people trying to sell you things. to be fair, the 30 seconds of view that i did get before being barged out of the way by an ignorant selfie-taking mouth-breather was stunning. i'd recommend coming here on a day when fewer people are around or if you're feeling patient. the highlight for me was having a guy ask me if i wanted a tattoo - yeah cheers mate, a perfect pairing... always need a tattoo if i've just visited a temple... oh, and they charge you to use the toilets here...	17
201	got there by 10am from ubud so not many people there. colourful well kept gardens lead to temple area by the lake. cloudy today so not shown off to its best but beautiful site on the edge of the lake. temple itself fairly simple but setting lovely. kids amused themselves in antiquated playground in the grounds. well worth the trip.	4
202	ensure to book a round trip driver to get there and back. check weather forecast to get stunning views of the sunset. the temple is split from the main headland. the cliff overlooking the temple have cafes which is a good place to sit back and relax whilst enjoy the sun setting.	4
203	loved the terrible shiva! very different! the best part was to swim in the pool! so refreshing! if you like statues, this is the place for you...	4
204	walk amidst the array of lotuses and elegant statues, inbetween the water-ponds. this place is restful and lovely, and makes a great stopover if you are travelling to east bali. try the restaurant slightly up the hill ... the view from there is spectacular.	2
205	impressive temple and big cliffs. it is a little bit poor that the traditional kecak and fire dance is now more like a comedy-show for tourists. ! the taxidriver tricked us - 800k idk to uluwatu ! a drive from kuta to uluwato should cost about 200k idk - price with blue bird taxi (cheapest and safest) some taxidrivers fake the blue bird logo --> for example blue biro instead of blue bird	8
206	we visited uluwatu temple after visiting 3 to 4 pura/temples in bali! we were kinda temples overload but this one is stunning! absolutely breathtaking views from the cliff edge. worth the visit!	8
207	we arrive around 5pm and you can feel that the temple was very shady and cool. there were many of monkeys surrounding the temple. you can see beautiful sunset and most amazing part of the trip was watching kecak dance show.	13
208	nestled at the edge of a cliff, uluwatu temple is a must-see. for those with a fear of heights, just don't walk too near to the edge. our guide warned us about the well trained monkeys which will swoop down swiftly and grab your sunnies, mobile phones or basically any small items. then a man (owner of the monkey) will pretend to be a concerned passerby offering to help you retrieve your items for a small fee. well, i guess it is expected from a place with locals struggling to make ends meet. we stayed as far away from the monkeys as possible plus our local guide was too helpful to chase away any the came close. overall an interesting experience & spent a fair amount of time whipping out our cameras and snapping away at the captivating views of the cliffs and ocean.	8
209	it's the one of the best place in bali you need to see and explore it..enjoyed the view and the spiritual experience...cheerssss	2
210	i rate this as one of the more beautiful temples to visit. it is an amazing setting with good shopping. it is very commercial but i think that is inevitable at these kind of attractions.	4
211	you have to pay 50k idr entrance fee. once inside the restrooms are still not free! we were excited to see a nice temple complex on the lake but all around a very kitschy western style park was built which has nothing to do with the spiritual atmosphere of the place and makes it similar to a poor disney kind of a thing. absolutely disappointing.	4
212	you can see the beautiful sunset and drink the holy water. the waves is quiet big so you also can surf here. there is a holy snake inside the temple where you can touch it.	4
213	operation hour: 7am to 7pm, free wifi. parking for bike is idr1000, entrance fee is idr30,000/pax. for most asian countries i visit, they think im one of their citizen :) until l open my mouth and cannot speak their language, would be awesome to get local fee/prices ;) cover your legs, i brought my own sarung. after being here i know why when i googled for uluwatu temple images of the sea and hill keep appearing, the temple is a small gated area up the pathway. you come here only for the view. i didn't do the kecak dance. there's stairs all the way around the coastline, we walked the whole way. it's actually nothing much to see except for the view of the sea which practically looked the same from point a or c. loads of tourist everywhere. there's a boy sitting down playing with his phone with 2 monkeys walking near him. he was too engrossed with his phone that he didn't look out for the monkeys. one of them snatched his phone and ran into the bushes. you will occasionally hear announcement to be careful of the monkeys and to report to a ranger if your item has been snatched by a monkey. not sure if he got it back we didn't stay to find out. it was okay to come here to have a look but if i knew that's all i see i would not pay idr30,000.	8
214	a visit to bali is never complete if you haven't visited this lovely old temple in bedugul. the setting over the vast lake and cloud topped mountains is truly serene and very picturesque. the only problem was it was really crowded with many people, especially when they block the narrow path to take pictures. still a wonderful place to visit. can get a lil chilly since it's very high up and gets rather windy.	2
215	this was an excursion to the clifftop temple at uluwatu, combined with the kecak fire dance spectacle. the temple itself is not so very impressive, but its clifftop location overlooking the sea is stunning and the sunset views are amazing.e kecak performance was very good involving a cast of what seemed like hundreds. the story is a bit impenetrable and. if i'm honest, the show goes on for just a bit too long, but very impressive nevertheless.	8
216	tanah lot temple is on a large rock next to the shore. during low tide, you can walk to the base of the rock and offer prayers there. you cannot enter the temple per se. the view of the temple from the surrounding rocks is amazing. it is surely one of the ideal locations to watch sunset on a clear evening, the other one being uluwatu temple. but no matter what time of the day you visit tanah lot, it is a sight to behold. the entrance to the temple area is idr 15000 and to reach the temple, visitors must walk through a bunch of souvenir shops which cover each side of the path. pura batu bolong, another temple in the tanah lot area, situated a short distance north of pura tanah lot sits on a rock wth a hole and hence its name. its good to watch the waves hit the rock n splash in the air.	17
217	i always wanted to see this temple and made it a point to visit it and realized in the end that all the trouble i took to reach here was not worth it since staying in tuban, coming here took good three hours, thanks to the very messy traffic along the way. then when you reach there, you have to pay through your nose to buy a ticket just to see the temple and trust me, they guard every way leading to the temple. the way to temple after submitting your tickets is a full fledged market selling all kind of things and advertising toilets as if they were a rare commodity. at the end the temple is awesome but too crowded.	4
218	should visit during low tide time so that you can cross the sea to visit the temple. a bit disappointed as i only able to view the temple from far. crowded with tourists.	4
219	tanah lot is a small town, around an hour drive from canggu by a scooter. the small town is not a lot to see, mainly shops selling very similar items. it’s quite big to walk around and the view is magnificent. you can spend half a day just walking around to enjoy the view. we also managed to enjoy the luwak coffee at one of the shops in the village and the owner has bats and luwak as his pets. quite interesting ...	17
220	this temple is set in the lap of nature....a must see place....the view from the top of the ocean below is amazing...the kecak dance at sunset was good,the ambience was wonderful.	13
221	we visited here around 11:00am and it wasn't overcrowded. i think it was 20,000 each for the entry ticket. the actual temple on the water site was busy but not an issue. your feet might get wet so flip flops are a good idea. there are steep stone steps to a nice cove from the garden area which is nice to see, if you don't mind the climb back up. we spent 2 hours here, which was a nice amount of time to walk round.	4
222	very nice place, a must when visit bali. the cliffs are dramatic and provide great views of the ocean. go for the sunset. it will be crowded but.... the dancing show is long but worth watching. be cautious with the monkeys. they are not friendly.	2
223	cozy palce for sightseeing in bali. you must go to this place to see this beautiful place. dont forget to take you camera.	2
224	my 1st time here was in 1990. it has become more crowded n crowded and it needs real timing to visit it not at high tide but at low tide in the low season so you can relax and also walk there. it is said that inside the caves are little rattle snakes. if local people ask there for money just dont pay it the want to show you something but inside the cave there is nothing to see. it's a great place but you have to be smart to enjoy this temple and not pay extra money. we will come back with 1st time visitors.	4
225	ulwatu temple was much bigger than i thought it would be - it was very impressive & there was a wedding happening whilst we were there on the edge if the cliff. gorgeous scenery - well worth the visit. we also went to the fire dance which wasn't a fire dance in real test it was a story if the culture - interesting but i think 30mins would have sufficed instead of 1 hour as the chanting went on & on - otherwise not so bad.	8
226	we decided to get a driver and visit this temple late afternoon, then go to jimbaran bay for the sunset and believe that we made the right decision. we arrived at about 3:30, there was no queue to get in, but it was still very hot. the temple is good to see, a local cultural location, with stunning views. there were mixed reviews of monkeys, but we only saw a few and they were no problem at all. we did not stop for the katak dance as we had already seen one of these, so we got away before the large queues that i believe build up on the way out.	14
227	this temple is quite a sight. there are always a heap of tourists here but the view is the reason they come. it's best to visit earlier in the day as sunset time is really busy. the shopping there isn't too bad and the drive out there is quite scenic.	4
228	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.	4
229	this was my second trip here. the first was 10 years ago. the temple hadn’t changed, obviously but wow the commercial surrounds have. 60k per person to enter. that aside if you haven’t been then it’s a must see when in bali. seeing millions of bats fly out of the cave just after sunset was a highlight	2
230	visit to uluwatu temple during sun-set is a must do. the temple has been build on the edge of high cliff jutting out against the backdrop of the indian ocean. you need to walk a little bit to get to the top and then to the sun-set view point but it is well worth. as you buy your ticket, you are also given a sarong which you have to wear if you are in shorts. this is the usual practice for tourist visiting temples in bali. along the walk to the top you get to see the mighty indian ocean sprawling out below you. it really felt like it was the edge of the world. the water was green in colour and the huge waves were pounding against the cliff.every step seemed photo worthy. the inner portion of the temple is not accessible to the tourist and only for entry for prayer offerings. in the evenings there is the traditional kechak dance performance which we skipped. instead we wanted to catch a good spot to view the sun set and just relax and enjoy the view. tip - make sure you fully charge your camera. my camera battery ran out by sun-set, luckily there was the mobile phone to fall back on.	8
231	we just loved the location couldnt understand their traditions but loved the temple location must visit	4
232	the monkeys are entertaining and really naughty - and the view over the cliffs to the indian ocean are wonderful. those are the reasons why this is worth visiting - more than the temple itself. expect many tourists and selfie sticks!	14
233	we went there with young children so did not hike to the top temple but the views from the first two temples are great. there are many locals who come for prayer and actually very few tourists, the atmosphere is nice and respectful. highly recommended, i would also recommend to spend a few nights in the region which is often overlooked but very attractive (temples, rice fields, nice walks, beaches from amed or candidasa regions very close)	4
234	you have to walk to the other end to have a good view of the uluwatu temple. beware of monkeys along the way. they can be a real menace	8
235	uluwatu temple is heaven on earth. even it is a crowded place but you certainly can enjoy the beautiful sunset	8
236	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.	4
237	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!	4
238	this temple is a must see when in the north of bali. beautiful gardens and amazing temple on the lake	2
239	tanah lot temple is a big place to walk around. take your time to walk around and marvel at the rock formations made by erosion. the temple is not the only attraction there. best time to go is at sunset. give yourself an hours before sunset to get to the temple to view the sunset. sunset can be viewed from the beach or the hill above the beach. there are rows of cafe called sunset corner, where you and order drinks and finger food while you wait the sunset to bathe the temple in its golden glow from behind.	17
240	- this was one of the temples visted during my full day tour. - ulun danu bratan temple is one of the most picturesque and beautiful landmark in bali. - your bali will remain incomplete if this temple is not on your list. - we reached at the mid of the day. - its quite away from kuta about 60 km. - this temple is at the shore of the second largest lake in bali. - beside temple you will get various food shops, restaurants, souvenir shops. - visiting this temple was one of the best experience i have ever had in bali. - weather was cooler then seminyak and kuta. - only one thing which i dont like about this place is the crowd, this place was a bit crowdy rest of the things were fine. i would say this place is filled with beauty everywhere. ticket: 50,000 idr opening hours: 08:00am – 06:00pm location: danau beratan, candikuning, baturiti, tabanan regency, bali 82191, indonesia	30
241	went to tanah lot for sunset. even though it was kinda cloudy that day, but the views were stunning with high tide. the temples are very nice as well. it was a sunday and the place was not very crowded. just that there was a long queue for the holy springs experience.	17
242	what a amazing temple. very beautiful place,sunset. i saw kecak dance too,so interesting. i will be back soon.	13
243	the view was amazing!there were so many tourists from china and india too when we were there.it was high tide.they were saying that we're able to walk to the temple if it was low tide.a must to go if you're in bali!	2
244	i was excited to visit this temple and watch the sunset. wish i stayed at the hotel now. it was roughly an hour drive from seminyak, and was shocked to find out it cost 60,000 idr per person. then you walk through tons of market stalls and shops, even a ralph lauren store (!?!?). when we finally reached the temple i was extremely underwhelmed. it was the most crowded attraction we have visited, it was packed. it has been way too commercialised which is very unfortunate, they are just using it to exploit money now. the sunset was nice, but it's hard to get nice pictures through the crowds of bodies. also make sure you have transport because there are no taxis in the area. it was a total waste of time and money for me, i would have rather have done nothing at all and saved money and relaxed.	4
245	the views here are spectacular. single entry fee with no one harassing you for extras. there is some lovely grasses areas where we sat for lunch and enjoyed the ocean breeze. try and get your timing right with the tides to be able to walk out to the temple it self.	4
246	tanah lot temple was amazing. entry cost was 60,000 rupiah ($6 aud) per adult. we watched the beautiful sunset and there was also a dance that you could pay to watch which an additional 100,000 rupiah ($10aud) as well. my sister was and i however didn’t watch the dance at all but i had the privilege to hold an extremely long and huge python snake. it cost an extra 100,000 rupiah ($10 aud) and it comes with one printed photo that one took a minute. there was a corn dog store near the end on the left while walking towards the entry to the beach and it taste absolutely delicious. that too only cost 10,000 rupiah ($1 aud). overall amazing experience and a must do tour as well. i found that tanah lot market was a lot cheaper than most markets i have been too.	17
247	a long drive to the temple so incorporate padang padang beach as well or another attraction on the way to make it worth while. be aware of the monkeys as you walk around they will take your hat, sunnies, or anything else on you as over the years they know if they do this a guide will give them food to get them back. one poor tourist was bitten on the foot while we where there so be careful. the view over the cliff was nice but if you are wanting to see a full on large temple you could be disappointed. total tourist attraction with heaps of tour buses so maybe fo early in the morning when less busy. if you haven’t been to bali before do it once to say you have done it but as a memorable attraction there are better.	2
248	ulun danu literally means the \upper side of lake\. rightly so the the temple devoted to lord shiva is located on the banks of twin lake with green covered mountain in the back drop. one can go around the temple and see the rituals being performed. there is separate temple for parvati where people come from far and near with offerings and along with relics of house deity and pray to god as per the rituals as directed by the priest of the temple. the place is well kept and good location for photo shoot. peddle boats are there for children and an artist offers his skill to sketch portraits in 10 minutes. some shops are also there for tourists.	30
249	this was going to be one of those boring site seeing trips i thought but once i got to pecatu i was amazed at the temple and how it must have been carved out centuries ago . well worth a visit to see how things were a while ago a bit like tan alot temple in the old days before the mass buildings.	4
250	tanah lot temple is a beautiful place. the tides are strong and rough, it was peaceful to listen to the sound of the waves. even watching them soothes my mind. the places is not as overcrowded as expected and there were only a moderate number of people. expect to take lots of beautiful photos of the ocean view! there are parts where tourist are forbidden to enter, so do be careful where you go. in conclusion, i recommend everyone to go here once!	17
251	there's was so much hype about tanah lot that i was prepared to be disappointed. despite the never ending walk through all of the vendors and large groups of other tourists, seeing the temple at sunset is worth all of it. after walking around the temple and through the water we went up on the hillside and were able get a front row table and a couple of drinks and a wonderfull view to see the sun go down. i would go back many times again to see the extraordinary sight. definitely a must see.	17
252	beautiful temple with a stunning view. however, it took hours to get there due to traffic and it was overpopulated with tourists. you are not allowed to go into the temple so it’s really just to take a picture.	4
253	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.	4
254	the most beautiful place to see perfect sun set in bali. the cliff of indian ocean and fantastic architectures are must see in this place. the \kechak dance\ in the place is the main attraction.	2
255	it's a long way up the mountain, even if only to the first temple (there are several as one walks up the mountain). the \gate of heaven\ attracts an inordinate number of tourists who seem to be there only for the iconic photo. as a result of the crowds, it is no longer possible to use the upper parking lot, and the locals operate a system of (paid) shuttles that take you up the winding mountain road to the base of the first temple. from there one walks up to the temples. the line of tourists waiting for their turn for a photo at the \gate of heaven\ was astounding. i estimated that people waited nearly two hours for a few seconds' worth of photo taking. worth it? i don't think so. there is so much beauty there other than the famous gate.	28
256	we went in the middle of the day it was was really hot but so worth it. the views are just amazing and the sunset here would be just beautiful we were told to be careful of the monkeys as they steal your sunglasses etc and it can cost you a lot to get it back. we were approached by a shady guy asking if we wanted to see the monkeys and he started to take us into the forest we then decided it wasn't safe and turned around so just be careful, it may have been innocent but we didn't feel safe. we did not see any monkeys but i think they come out later in the afternoon and would be trained to steal when there are more crowds which would be around sunset. the temple is amazing but we were not allowed into it and could only take photos from the gates. well worth the visit	14
257	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.	2
258	we visited this temple for sunset and it was just amazing. temple itself is so beautiful. you can capture the sunset and amazing landscape and have memories for life. don’t forget to enjoy birds coming after the sunset from caves. it was so beautiful, numerous birds coming out and chirping. its a must visit place in bali. definitely one of the most beautiful place in bali.	2
259	uluwatu temple is temple on the top of cliff bank with spectacular sunset located in the south of bali	8
260	this place should me on you must visit place in bali. though it is crowded for taking photos, as it is one of the famous attraction in bali, but you will enjoy the atmosphere, mix with tradition and seaside view.	2
261	although our driver had planned for us to experience the splendor of a sunset with the ulwathu temple as a backdrop, we had to change our plans ever so slightly due to the intense heat and long day of traveling . this did not however, spoil the awesome experience of visiting the ulwathu temple in all its glory and we were able to capture majestic pictures with the cliffs, crashing waves and high pitched temple emerging into the skyline. we had to dodge the aggressive monkeys who threaten snatching glasses and caps of innocent tourists. what a privilege to witness this saved temple . a very worthwhile visit which i can only imagine is awe inspiring at sunset as well . be warned that traffic is heaving in both directions so don't think you'll get back to your hotel early as there is only one road in and one out as all tourists venture to this site.	8
262	the scenery is nice, the setting is beautiful, but as a cultural/religious site it was very bland. not only the most interesting parts cannot be approached or entered, several parts of the temple were being renovated, so there wasn't much to see.	4
263	land and sea join together for this 16 th century temple sitting on a big offshore rock at tabanan in bali with entry depending on ocean tide every day. myth and beauty blended by nature. it's only 20 km from the airport. one among the seven sea temples . sea god is the main deity . believed to be protected by a giant snake with serpent cave on the sea shore. offerings to the temple can be made only by locals. renovation has been done to retain the temple from damages due to sea erosions. entering the temple from the mainland depends on low tide. a very beautiful attraction on the balinese coast. not to miss !	2
264	this temple is one to put on the must do list when in bali. great views everywhere you look, awesome postition for a temple & lots of monkeys. we paid au$15 for a guide to take us around & he answered our questions & told us lots of info about the temple. he also carried a sling shot to pea shoot the monkeys if they came too close. monkeys carry rabies so we preferred not to have them come too near. sunset would be amazing here & the nightly dances inside the temple would be a highlight too if you have time. we unfortuatley didn't due to time limits on our trip. but definately next time.	2
265	we went to view the sunset on our last evening in bali, and it didn't disappoint. lots of people but it didn't feel crowded at all.	2
266	i went to this place with my bestfriend. we drove on motorbike from denpasar to karangasem. lempuyang is the name of the temple on the top of the mountain. the view from the submit is really beautiful. you can see the whole part of mt. agung. such an amazing view! but only if the weather is good, which is mean no rain. there are about 1700 steps towards the submit. gladly me and my friend could reach the submit. basically balinese use this place to worship and pray to god. if you follow the steps until the submit, you will find some temples as they also use it as the rest area. for local people this place is sacred and really spiritual, you're gonna need to wear a saroong and behave well. also be careful about the monkeys, they are not evil but still they are a wild animal. just keep your things save and don't bring any food with strong smell to attract them. if you like some adventures combined with spiritual experience, this place is really worth to visit.	28
267	definitely a great place to visit when in bali and to see some traditional balinese dance etc. for a more private and better views i'll recommend to visit some of the uluwatu beach resorts for a more private sunset views and also private beaches. definitely uluwatu temple is a must see place.	8
268	this is a very touristy attraction but the views of the ocean and templs are amazing. along our trip we purchased item from some vendors. had a friend take a picture with a large snake, drank from a holy fountain. this place was as amazing as it was sacred for the people of indonesia.	2
269	this temple was very beautiful with lots of different sites to see within the grounds. it was very pretty and tranquil. although there were lots of tourists, it didn’t feel too crowded. our only complaint would be that the cafe/restaurant refused service due to being closed and it was only 3pm.	4
270	i have been there twice and loved the place both times. foremost is the peninsular view and the greenery in the area around peninsula. the ocean and peninsula combine stunningly to provide a breathtaking view. the scenery is mesmerising and i can be there for hours simply gazing it. kecak dance depicts the ramayana. it’s a first dance of its kind that is gripping and without any music keeps audiences engaged with only expressions. i was amazed to see the similarity between bali and indian hindu gods a must must visit.	2
271	one of the most beaitiful places to see in bali but you need to have good weather....when its cloudy or rainy you canot make nice pictures	2
272	the temple itself isn't anything to write about, but the mt agung view it provides is just breathtaking. the temple is kind of far from major tourist places. it took us two hours to get to it from ubud. get there early in the morning to see agung clearly; it gets cloudy later in the day.	28
273	we left at approx 3 in the afternoon from seminyak - the view from the temple grounds is extra-ordinary. the sun sets at 6pm- very peacefull. and dont forget to go for the kecek fire dance about rama and sita from the ramayana hindu epic. try and get a goos spot early- one of the best shows i have seen in bali.	2
274	as with most emples in bali they are old and beautiful but charge to get into a house of worship.........	2
275	awesome view from the top. but not as interesting as the picture. good entrance $ for the temple. would recommend to make a trip there as sunset there is really nice.	4
276	what a treat to see the monkeys frolicking around the grounds while we enjoyed the temple. we were warned by our driver and our hotel that the monkeys could get a bit aggressive and to mind our sunglasses but we had no incidents. we enjoyed taking photos. the views were magnificent. the sound of the surf soothing.	14
277	beautiful place, even though its commercialised and crowded with tourists. you still can find a spot to take great photos without seeing people. it still reflects the original balinese culture but there are plans to build big hotels nearby. enjoy before you get them in the background.	2
278	it's an excellent attraction to visit with emerald greenery and magnificent ocean views. dramatic sunset vistas here are not to be missed out. must visit for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. can you name the deity, uluwatu temple is dedicated to? here're the options - a. rudra b. brahma c. vishnu	8
279	one of an incredible temple in bali. tanah lot temple located at the sea of tabanan. this place just 30mnt from airport, but will be one hour due to traffic jam...	18
280	this is a very small temple located on a cliff right by the sea. the view of the location is spectacular. this temple is an icon of bali. if you are in bali you must visit this temple. the sunset is also great.	2
281	we spent about 2 and a half hours walking around the grounds here. the cliff top and below are very beautiful, as is the temple perched on the cliff edge. there is also a large group of monkeys residing in the grounds, which are nice to see. we did see the monkeys steal a variety of things from tourists though, ranging from food to hats and flip flops. the staff then try to exchange these items for small bags of food to get them back from the monkeys. in my opinion this was the most beautiful temple we visited in bali.	2
282	with mt. agung threatening to blow its top, it is a desperate time in bali. i visited tanah lot 6 months ago and car parking was at a premium, all the shops were open and the paths leading to the temple were packed with tourists. this time, the place resembled a ghost town. it was really sad to see. so whilst there are many hawkers, they are only trying to make a living. please bare this in mind when visiting this beautiful part of indonesia. the locals are really hurting economically. tanah lot is a tourist attraction. it is situated on the edge of the island surrounded by a park. it is worth visiting and taking time to contemplate human achievement.	18
283	despite being full of tourists, this was an amazing place to visit. top tip - walk past the temple (and the dubiously signed 'holy snake') to the rocks for the best view after sunset. can get a bit sloppy but the contrasting colours of the green moss on the rocks with the rock pools, sea and the red sky are amazing.	4
284	we enjoyed visiting this temple. or i should rather write visiting the park, since we can only see the temples from outside. but still amazing to see ! the park around is so lively, people spend time there: kids have a (old) playground, you can try fishing, going for a boat tour or for a drink. we had a great time there. be careful, bedugul can be quite cold !	4
285	one of the best temple in bali. it was not crowded, but it is not a big temple, so i can imagine that sometimes it is... don't forget to buy fishfood before entering... ;)	2
286	it was a shame it was so humid on our visit as we didn't feel like walking around too much, but it's a really nice temple (i grant not the best) and views are lovely. i really enjoyed the sunset dance, it was mesmerising and funny :) make sure you read the story first so you understand what is going on! do watch out for the monkeys!! i witnessed a lady have glasses snatched off her face and a boy having his photo taken was bitten on the arm! people forget they are wild animals!	14
287	the site have fantastic view of the cliff. the dance show is ok but the fees is expensive since we have to paid the entrance fee too.	13
288	when in bali, this is a must see place. ulu watu temple is located on a cliff with a beautiful view to the indian ocean. its not wheelchair or stroller friendly and its a long walk by the cliffs with lots of stairs. but if you are able, don't miss this opportunity. there is an entrance fee at the entrance. and since its a holy place you need cover your lower part with cloth if its exposed. you can get it at the entrance and its free. just drop it into a basket on the way out for the next. bring with you a hat and bottles of water. and also a good camera becareful, there are very cheeky and aggressive monkeys everywhere. i saw a tourist get her handphone snatched away. just don't disturb them and keep your valuables in your pocket and move around in groups. then you will be safe. a lot of tourist disturb them.	8
289	this is a stunning temple in a stunning location. we came just for the kecak dance, so arrived just before sunset. breathtaking scenery and very beautiful sunset. the dance area was quite crowded, but the hordes were well managed by competent and friendly staff. the dance was a highlight of my trip to bali. it is truly amazing how talented and creative humans can be! unique experience, great entertainment enjoyed by all. highly recommended.	13
290	went here because it is the icon used in indonesia idr 50,000 the view was super beautiful, the place are cleaned. you can take selfies all over the place, but please dont make noise to respect the place - it is a temple. idk the fees to enter here as all being arrange by the guide. the road is like a snake, if you have severe motion sickness, please take your pill. otherwise, it should be okay. the road to here not bumpy, it is just me because i have severe motion sickness, yet i still want to see the world. 😆 worth to go here.	2
291	we went and was surprised to see the crowds. the sunset was pretty and the kecak dance was very good	13
292	the fire dance was impressive. about 30 or so guys singing for an hour and the actors/dancers performing was great. it was packed when i went and it wasn't the peak season so definitely be on time. the temple itself was pretty but unremarkable to me. beware of the monkeys. they can be cute especially the youngsters but they steal anything and it is practically impossible to get the item back as they are growing wise of the tour guides.	13
293	make sure to get there way before sunset time as we did not and we almost missed the sunset. it is a long walk from the car park to the actual temple so you need to allow time to get there. moreover in our case we were also not lucky with the weather as it was clouded so the sunset too was short and quick.	4
294	a place that you must pay a visit. very nice and good view to check it out... heritage building structure with a temple on the small rock island at tanah lot.	17
295	most beautiful place to see so many different nationalitys here all in one place was very special. was very busy in the late afternoon we didnt get to see the sunset as it was too cloudy which was a shame. but was so beautiful and the temples were very special and so much detail just very gorgeous..	4
296	better go on the afternoon , because you have to see the sunset from the cliff, and don´t miss the show of local dances at night (fire dance).	13
297	if you're in bali, this is probably the most touristy spot on the island. it is the mother of all temples. it is very popular to visit for sunset, so expect lots of crowds... the shore/rocks area where you can walk is huge, so huge crowds are not much of a big deal if you are hoping to take panoramic shots of the temple. it is fun to walk along the shoreline and view the rock and temple in the distance. must-visit place!	2
298	it is listed as one of the must visit place in bali. however i could say i love the uluwatu temple, as this temple has nothing significant other than the temple in the middle of the sea. and be careful of the strong waves.	8
299	visited and stayed for approx 30 minutes. we walked down to see the temples in the water which are amazing and what you would see if you googled bali. it is very busy but you can still get pictures easily enough.	2
300	you have to go there early for two reasons: 1) there will be so many tourists, mostly chinese, after 9 am - it is impossible to get a good picture and see it well (this goes for every sight in bali - get there early! 2) you want to go there while there is high tide - and that is in the morning. i went there in the evening to see the sunset, and there was low tide, so it you couldn’t see what you are supposed to. with all that said, i was a little disappointed in what it was when i got there...	2
301	it takes a fare drive to the temple and the sunsets are just fabulous and you encounter some monkeys while walking to the temple. sectacular	14
302	we went during sunset . it was crowded. it’s one of the best temple at bali . temple is right top of the small hill at the sea . very beautiful to take photos . really happy to visit this place . tourists cannot enter the temple . we spend nearly two hours . there are lot of shops to buy and eat . worth it	2
303	it took us almost 1 hours to get there by car. hire a car with a driver is better and we paid approximately around 30usd for the return trips to uluwatu. there is no taxi available. check out the kecak dance in the temple as well. i would say it is not a must to see but it is nice to see the kecak dance. ticket for the dance is around 10usd per person	8
304	stopped by for the fire dance. interesting show however, as suggestion, you should not be charged for temple entrance and for the dance. the number of people allowed to see the show should somehow match the size of the arena- we ended up being squashed like bugs on hard floor for more than an hour. the show itself is something which is not shown in your regular theater - so if you in the area, hive it a try. but - bring a pillow.	13
305	i most definitely wouldn’t travel from out of the area to see this site. it’s really hyped up online and i guess it’s a matter of opinion but i was not that fascinating. the grounds are well maintained and tidy but have weird gimmicky tacky statues of cartoon characters animals and fruit around, which baffled me. a small kids play ground and some shabby swan pedal boats available to rent too. the temple was so much smaller than expected and i wouldn’t say it’s worth the hours drive some people do to see it. costs 50k to get in which is a bit steep for such a short experience. annoying they charge for toilet access when you’ve already paid to get in but it’s only 5k-same as anywhere else	4
306	lovely temple and perfect photo op. set in the water, with the lake and mountains behind it, makes the temple quite beautiful. very enjoyable! we were there when it was misty and then it did rain. so the view wasn't as spectacular as it might have been.	4
307	was extremely busy when i visited, but a must do in bali, beautiful views and picture perfect. highly recommend	2
308	the views all around the temple and adding areas was stunning. despite a hazy sunset the beauty could still be seen. we also enjoyed a superb dance performance in the amphitheatre. a truly memorable experience.	13
309	this was the most lovely temple i have ever visited, its massive and right at the sea face, if you look below its all blue sea view and gorgeous! it makes for a perfect photo ops place for enough selfies! the temple has too many monkeys and well yes he took my glares off my head chewed them and gave them back to a man who flashed him a treat. luckily i did not get scratched, but be careful of them they are naughty! stay back for the kecack dance that happens in the evening its a visual and sensory sight and a surely enjoyable experience that lives with you for a while after you leave :) would i visit again, maybe not!	13
310	tanah lot was beautiful but too crowded even during non-peak hours, but the best time to go should be around late afternoon before sunset where the temple would appear floating to make it at least worth the visit.	17
311	although a bit overcrowded during evenings, this place offers one of the most scenic views in bali! highly recommend dropping in a couple minutes before the sunset to reserve a good spot for yourself to capture the splendid views!!	2
312	my favorite site of all the temples i visited. did not go at sunset but that did not take away from the stunning beauty of the indian ocean backdrop. highly recommended to make a trip here.	4
313	uluwatu is one of must-see destination if you travel to bali. the shape of the cliff combine with ocean wave down there made me wonder how it happened. we may not enter the temple area but we watched the best \kecak dance\ performance with sunset and ocean as their background. the best time to visit this temple is about 4pm because we need to see it's surrounding, taking pictures and finally queue for kecak dance ticket. once you get the ticket, you'd better find your best seat (middle row and center of stage). a hat helps to protect from sunset since at 5 pm, the sun straight facing our face. we got nice surprises when the hanoman (one of the dancers) jumped on to many spots spectators seats. i recommend everyone to watch it.	8
314	positive: great view of the coast and sunset over the ocean - watch for the fishing boats coming in at dusk. monkeys entertaining - count how many pairs of glasses they are able to snatch off tourists' heads! negative: fairly busy/crowded, and kecak dance sold out the day we visited, so get in early or book ahead (we skipped the show to take photos of the sunset, and kids were tired). temple not particularly impressive. summary: worth a visit around sunset - make sure you have nothing loose, including glasses and get into the kecak show early.	13
315	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.	4
316	this area is stunningly beautiful. though the 'temple' is really a very small part of the area. there was a great breeze coming in from the sea as well. you'll be provided with a sarong where you buy your ticket. beware of the monkeys.. best if you go in with your sunglasses and hats tucked away and nothing in your hands, because they will try and take it aggressively.	14
317	absolutely stunning, temple on edge of a cliff. was worth the work in the burning sun :) make sure you have an external guide with you and leave any loose items safely put away! the monkeys are trained to steal your personal belongings for you to pay the local guides to retrieve...	14
318	one of the directional temples in bali it located just offshore on a rock. one of the best tourist attractions in bali and a bali trip cannot be deemed complete without paying a vist to tanah lot. best time to visit is during sunset and watch the fire dance.	18
319	although we planned to admire the sunset at uluwatu temple, we were unable to find even a parking place... once we got there, we realized that it will be simply impossible to see anything as thousands of people are coming there each evening. finally we decided to go to blue point where we had spectacular views with just a few persons around.	8
320	we visited on a very rainy day and got drenched, but i'd do it again. the temple is spread out on a cliff top with fantastic views and the sea crashing on on the rocks below. the locals were preparing for a big upcoming ritual, and had been for some time and the temple looked beautiful with all the decorations and offerings being prepared. there's a significant history to uluwatu as the founder of hinduism in bali is supposed to have achieved moksha here after completing the task. it was busy yet somehow peaceful.	8
321	located on the outskirts a beautiful temple,totally worth your visit.drive to this place is very scenic,with strawberry farms your way.this temple is located in the middle of the lake.great place to have pictures .	4
322	we arrived at uluwatu more than an hour before sunset and it was already very crowded - so much so that we decided not to stay until sunset. the temple itself is exactly what you would expect from all of the post cards and photos, although it was hard to find a vantage point to enjoy it as the grounds don't seem well designed to cope with the number of people. the monkeys here are very different from the friendly monkeys of ubud monkey forest - take the warnings to remove glasses, hats, and jewellery seriously! we saw one steal a jandal off a small child's foot, it then became quite aggressive and had to be bribed with fruit to give it back. overall, we were pleased we went to see such an iconic bali site but found our experience at other temples such as tanah lot much more enjoyable.	8
323	i was a little concerned about the monkeys but everything was fine. the views of the cliffs from the temple are breathtaking. definitely worth a visit	14
324	must go if you are in bali, the scenery is so beautiful. the water is clean, can do shopping. great views, cool, clean.	2
325	we had a great spiritual experience and found chance to taste balinese culture. there is a fresh underground water coming out from tanah lot. when you drink 3 times and pray its believed to bring you good luck. you can go to temple if its there is less wave and water hight allows. very big facility around with lots of shops, markets around. great place to watch sunset and if you want to catch sunset you should visit around 17:00-18:00	18
326	a great place for sun set and for folk dances also, here you can take enjoyment of bali culture dance in evening, great place for sun set, we like very much this place, can not understand why they are charging for entrances in temple, for dances it's ok but here you have to pay two times i.e for dances and to enter in temple also, after taking money from tourist places are not see neat and clean, there is no drinking water facilities nor any other facilities,	2
327	one of the most beautiful temples in bali. heard a lot about it. saw hundreds of photos and then it's there on 50000note. was really looking forward to seeing this place. sculptures of animals are really out of character for this place wish the could have decorated with something more traditional. tips to fellow travellers: it's far from traditional touristy areas of south bali/ubud. so prepare yourself for a long and winding road. try to visit late in the day around 5ish to avoid the crowds.	2
328	we had read quite a lot about this location but actually were not that impressed with uluwatu temple located on a cliff-top setting at the edge of a plateau 250 feet above the waves of the indian ocean. several archaeological remains found here and prove the temple to be of megalithic origin, dating back to around the 10th century. there are two entrances to uluwatu temple, from the south and the north. a small forest lies at the front and hundreds of monkeys dwell here. it took us about an hour to get from one end to another as there are several fenced points along the way to stop. the views from the bottom of the water surging up against rocks and the ocean horizon are remarkable. behind the main shrine in one of the courtyards lies a brahmin statue facing the indian ocean. the two entrances to the temple area are split gates. a heritage of the 10th century is the one-piece winged stone gate to the inside courtyard. there are three statues in it, one of them is of brahma. uluwatu beach, below the cliff, is one of bali's best surfing spots. we had to wear a sarong and a sash, as well as appropriate clothes common for temple visits. they can be hired here. we visited just before sunset. there's no public transportation to get and we had booked a return taxi, which is priced quite reasonably. a guide is not necessary. worth a visit to uluwatu temple is one of six key temples believed to be bali's spiritual pillars.	8
329	i was a bit disappointed in this temple after seeing tanah lot - maybe the key is to go here first and then go to tanah lot. be careful if it has rained, as the paths get muddy and there are aggressive monkeys here, too. worth a stop, but the traffic is bad and you only need about 45 minutes to see it all.	17
330	a first we weren't even planning on coming here and now i wonder why we even went. to even get to the temple, you have to pass dozens of shops and restaurants, with some vendors really being aggressive. once you arrive at the temple, it's beautiful. we were there after kuningan and were able to witness the worshippers bringing gifts and praying. unfortunately it was also crowded with a gazillion chinese tourists who barely even looked at the temple, but weren't shy about almost pushing you into the water to get a good selfie. we were being told we were there at a time with not many visitors and we were horrified at the sight of the crowds. if this was not crowded, i do not wanna be here at sunset.	4
331	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.	4
332	fantastic experience climbing the 1700 steps to pura lempuyang! we showed up to the site and the peacefulness could be felt all around. yes, stalls selling things, but nobody to bother you. the entrance fee is by donation and no need for a tour guide. and you won't get harassed by one either! the man at the gate showed us a map of the site, explained the paths and provided tips on how/what to see. and off we go! the first temple is right after the entrance, easily accessible and beautiful. beautiful spot for pictures. then, there's a good kilometre walk up the mountain to the second site. you can get a bike ride that way if you don't want to walk it, but we did. then the second site and the beginning of the 1700 steps! the steps are quite steep, we did the short cut and took us about 1.5 hour. would have taken about 2-3 hours to do the big loop, but we were a bit short for time. there are a few \rest stops\ to sit down and where they sell beverages along the climb. the trick is: slow and steady pace. it is quite the climb and we almost gave up many times, having no idea how far we still had to go, but we made it! once on top, there's a small temple under renovations, but keep going to the actual summit. once at the summit, the temple itself is not very impressive, but the views are awesome and the feeling of accomplishment is absolutely divine! the day we were there, it was cloudy and we did the whole climb in the mist, which made the experience even more magical and mysterious. we only met 2 other tourists during our climb, and the locals were great. this is a pilgrimage site for them and they certainly understood our efforts and state of mind after that long climb as there is only one way up! haha! (i don't think too many tourists make it all the way!). it did rain on our way down, we stopped for chicken soup with the locals and that made our day. after the climb, we stopped to relax at tirta gangga and that was another great site we were very pleased with. i would highly recommend both lempuyang and tirta gangga, but be prepared for a long and steep climb up those 1700 steps!	28
333	uluwatu temple is the most southerly of bali's coastal temples and, while the temple is not that impressive when there is no ceremony taking place, the location, on a tall cliff overlooking the impossibly blue indian ocean stretching out to the far horizon, is spectacular and makes for great photographs. as there at many of the island's temples, here be monkeys: and not ordinary monkeys. on three occasions when we have visited, we have seen monkeys leap on to the barrier wall that stops you getting to close to the cliff edge and whip sunglasses off the head of visitors as they pass by. they run off with them and wait, chewing on the glasses and tearing off plastic attachments, earpieces etc. until, like a saviour out of howhere, a guy in temple wear appears and throws food to the monkey who promptly drops the sunglasses. the guy then hops over the wall to retrieve them. this is theatre - the guy and the monkey are working in tandem. not nice! so, keep an eye out for monkeys and if you don't absolutely need to wear sunglasses at uluwatu, don't wear them. if you can't walk without sunglasses, consider not going to uluwatu temple at all. if you want to see a balinese temple, there are much more beautiful temples elsewhere, at lempuyang for example, and there are many other places near to uluwatu temple where you can get those magnificent indian ocean views.	8
334	it's my personal second time to this iconic temple of bali (first time was for sunrise photography) but first with the family. it's a beautiful icon, no doubt, good for photoshoot (amidst the tourist crowds), and the temple outer court is ok to walk around, but there's not much else. nonetheless, for first timers to this part of bali, it shouldn't be missed, and it's even better to take another half hour further up the road to the lookout point over the twin volcanic lakes, danau buyan and danau tamblingan. if you happen (or plan) to be there when there's a major ceremony going on and you're interested in culture, that could well be a totally different (and more satisfying) experience.	2
335	cheeky monkeys !!!!! yes they are very tourist/human aware. they are not scared in the slightest. they will steal anything you're carrying. they're not scared to jump on you, you will be approached by some looking for titbits. excellent place to visit, wander around for a few hours looking at the temple, (you will need a sarong if you want to enter it) the surroundings are divine. loved the whole experience. value for money.	14
336	a great temple for the non hindu visitor due to the views from the cliff to the open seas and the monkeys living within the temple area. like many lovely temples in bali the set up is similar, it is the location that makes this one special. note, non hindus cannot actually enter the formal temple area which is disappointing as it looked to be the best bit but non the less an enjoyable trip. many people have said this is a must do when in bali, i don't think i would go that far but if you are in the locality it is not to be missed but whether it is worth travelling half the island for ..... i was also a bit disappointed by the 'guide' trying to sell his services for 15 dollars who was keen to welcome you until you as he worked at the site until you said you didn't want to hire him. agreement with others on the monkey comments, they can be over friendly and light fingered so keep your distance don't feed than and they will generally leave you alone but you will still be able to take pictures of them.	2
337	the temple is located on a hill. the view from the top is really amazing. maybe only access to the temple is quite tiring, past several stairs. the ticket fee price is only idr 10k. a very worthy temple to visit.	4
338	probably not so many tourist know this place or even visit this place as the location considered a bit away from centre tourist place like kuta and nusa dua area. but, please don't stuck only around south of bali. come to visit this place a little bit like a special gift to you. come earlier in the morning or a bit late in the afternoon is perfect. not so hot and the air is so fresh. the water is so clean and you can swim here too. feeding the fish in the fish pond, walk around be romantic is a must here too. very good for a wedding photo location and school gathering. the park was clean and tidy even a bit smaller compare to ujung water palace. take your family and enjoy the water palace as a heritage of karangasem kingdom which is build in the year 1948.... looking forward to see you in bali and take you to this place :)	2
339	a tiring 2hrs journey by car. once reached there, lots of cafes and souvenir shops leading all the way to the seaside. there are hotels there too. good for who wants to view the spectacular sunset and the beauty of the temple by the sea. it was featured in the top 10 best place to view sunset... too bad didnt make my way to cross to the other side on the temple because of the high tide.. will visit again	4
340	this temple maybe is the best known landmark of bali! - 2,5 h drive from denpasar/sanur. the \pura ulan danu\ is a huge hindu shaivite water temple. you also can read that this temple is a \floating temple\!?? - well i don't know! - it don't looks like floating at all! :) beautiful surroundings and a nice maintained garden, too. it's going up, up to 4068 ft - cool, fresh mountain air and the beautiful lake beratan. lots of nice spots for pics! - you can rent a boat, too! on your trip up and down - ask the driver for stops nearby one of this many photogenic sites or stop by a restaurant with lookout terrasses. have a nice tour! ticket for the temple = 50k irp	2
341	uluwatu temple is currently having a fair bit of work done around it but that does not detract from the experience. as with all wet season visits you roll the dice on seeing a sunset. the monkeys were really quiet on this visit but our driver had his glasses stolen two days earlier by them. the dance attracts lots of people. traffic is a nightmare if you wait until the end of the show. leave a little bit early and save some grief.	8
342	being on holidays for a month we really enjoyed the exercise as much as the temples. there are some good previous reviews and i must admit that until the night before i just thought it was about the instagram shot through the heavens gates to mt agung. this is a big site and the gates are impressive but we didn't get the backdrop, december is rain season in bali. a couple of points from our experience 1 - don't underestimate this is a decent walk if you are going up to the top. there are plenty of busted thongs and sandals on the wayside, you want good shoes. we did the circuit in 3 hours but it was hard going and your hr will be up there. 2 - if you go straight up to the top the concrete stairs are quite consistent and you continue to chug up without worrying about your feet to much. mostly the staircase is divided by a rail with people going up one way and down the other. 3 - when you get to the 2nd top temple, which is really just a construction site (and will be for some time) you think you have made it but there is still a reasonable uphill walk to the top temple. this walk is mainly on mouldy cobblestone type path and steps. there is quite a bit of rubbish at the top temple and a lot of it is food wrappers associated with monkeys. 4 - the monkeys between the top two temples are aggressive and we had to force a larger one away with an umbrella. thankfully our driver had forewarned us and provided the umbrellas, many of the local people were carrying sticks. at either of the top 2 temples you are quite safe as the locals chase them away with slingshots but in between the temples you may be on your own and they will try to stand over you. there are many stalls along the way and the monkeys know if they approach the tourists with food they are likely to give it up easily. the one we fended off was not to fazed and continued to follow us with fangs bared while we backed away. we purposely did not carry any food or drink bottles the whole time. obviously you will pay a little more buying on the track but i would not carry food and if you need a break pull up for a snack in the mid level at a kiosk with some locals. 5 - sarongs are required at 10k each and a donation is expected at the gate. there is really no pressure about the donation, we put up 50k for 2 of us and it appeared to be above average per capita. i think it was well worth it. they don't seem to be to worried about the upper body but as always you should be respectful that this is an important place of worship. 6 - guides are available for a sliding scale between 10k and 40k depending on how far up you go. we didn't take a guide as we have been to a few temples recently with guides. i still think 40k is a lot but the people that had guides certainly spent a lot longer in each place and seemed to be getting a good run down. if i was just doing the bottom section i would get a guide for 10k and have a good look around. otherwise you will spend 2.5hrs getting here and be finished in 15mins. again there was really no pressure for a guide. even after we declined the guide he remained very friendly and provided some advice to us. i was very impressed by this. 7 - between the first temple (where the money shot is) and the 2nd is just an uphill road. we walked it because we had decided to walk the whole thing but also i misunderstood the scooter offer and thought it was 100k. it is 10k and for $1 you may as well take the ride, help someone out and there is still plenty of hiking on the trail (not road) left to do. you also have the option to ride down the last section. have a look at the maps, the scooters only run between the first two and the rest is all on foot. the loop section is much less consistent wit a mix of steps, ramps, dirt etc. we did the loop on the way down. 8 - other people have made the point that you have seen the best at the first temple and that is generally true. if you don't mind walking off a few bintangs though you may as well take your time and have a look further up, you have probably travelled a bit to get here. 9 - we took a dry shirt / change of clothes for the air conditioned ride home and i was pleased we did. 10 - it is worth going past the first temple at your own comfort level just to make it a solid day trip, get some exercise and see some life away from more touristy areas. i am not kidding when i say it is a tough walk up but the same old lady carrying a fertiliser bag of rocks on her head passed me 3 times, every time i stopped for a breather she just silently cruised past with a grin. on the way down i passed a young bloke going up with a honda generator on his head. i was drenched in sweat, he looked like a greyhound wearing a pair of fleece track pants. committed people at the temple.	2
343	a very beautiful temple. great attraction but try to avoid peak visits as its a popular visit for tourist.	4
344	one of the best places to visit in indonesia, bali is a lovely island full of fun and culture, tanah lot temple a most to visit	18
345	it will be a regret if you go to uluwatu and dont see the performance because its like the balinese trademark, you could see tari kecak and the ramayana performance. not all of the audience understand the entire performance (including me just a few part) but it still must see performance. the performance starts after sunset, so when you wait for it you could see a beautiful sunset from there, and because the temple placed in a cliff you could see a really really beautiful big blue waves under the cliff while there's warm sunshine irradiate. but beware of monkeys because they are everywhere and they could take your things. the entrance fee is 30k rupiah and the performance fee is 100k rupiah.	8
346	amazing view from the top. it's a sunset point though we didn't get chance to see it due to cloudy weather. wonderful view of the indian ocean from the top! there is a temple that has a special cloth and have to wear it around your waist and then allowed to enter. overall nice experience!	4
347	this temple is a must see and you can really take your time and take in the surrounds as they are stunning. there are a number of stairs around the temple so if you are not keen on stairs then i would avoid it. the views from the cliff face are amazing. there are also many monkeys walking around the temple.	14
348	this temple has big area and there are two different routes to explore it. you will get different views from the left route or to the right route. you need extra energy here. minimum 2 hours to get all the best spots.	4
349	tanoh lot is the top most tourist attraction in bali .this temple for the ocean of hindu looks stunning and you can find many many tourists busy with taking photos and also selfies.	18
350	very nice view. very scenic. be careful for the monkeys as they often grab sunglasses. and if so happens get assistance from one of the staff there. they will help you out. must try in bali.	2
351	on the hills..beside the lake...this temple is a must-go attraction in bali. from every corner, you'll get superb views that'll surely make your day. it takes 2-3 hours drive from kuta , but don't miss this place if you're planing to go bali.	2
352	went to see the sunset here after having a nice dinner a few meters away. we simply love it. the temples itself are not that big and you can reach them when the tides are low but its the picturesque landscape what shocks you with lots of angles and photo opportunities. lots of souvenir seller gather around here and i managed to get the best prices for paintings here rather than any other place in the island. a great experience above all....	4
353	the temple was amazing enough but the show, please read the story they hand you upon entrance which makes the show easier to follow along, was a great way to experience a bit of the indo culture! picturesque views for sunset makes this a must visit while in bali!	2
354	relatively well preserved for a 16 century temple. there are 3 zones to the temple. the ouster is usually open fields and gardens. the middle zone, where supporting facilities and meeting pavilions are built. the holiest is the towering lotus throne of the highest god. well maintained and in use today. the outer and middle zones area open to public. by walking around the holiest zone can be viewed from a walkway around the zone, which has a with low fence. free access to the temple.	4
355	an absolute must-see! we hired a car for the day so we could go here and on to the sacred monkey temple in ubud with a couple of stops on the way for food and a bit of relaxation at padma beach as well as a surf. tanah lot is beautiful. we took some amazing photos, had a wander and regarded it with awe. just beautiful. brought quite a lot of culture to our trip :-)	17
356	the temple is ok, don't feel like you see much but the location is amazing. if anything, go for the kecak, it was brilliant. get a seat fairly early but we warned the benches are not the most comfortable (i sat on my flip flops, which helped). read the information they give you, it makes the show much more enjoyable when you know what's going on. do not leave early (many people did this) as not only are you annoying everyone else but you will miss the best bits nearer the end! (basically the bits with the man in the monkey costume... hilarious and engages with the crowd) it was very entertaining, the chanting is brilliant.	13
357	you must come to this temple best view for perspective \t best to take picture for you and your friend. go there !!!	4
358	the temple is a comparatively small building inside a large area overlooking the ocean. the prayer zone is not open to visitors, but there is a fantastic view and at six p.m. it is possible to watch a typical balinese dance show. the whole area is not very well kept nor clean, but it is worth a visit. beware of the monkeys, the balinese consider them sacred animals, but it is true that they are shameless,agile thieves!	2
359	too expensive for what it is. you can see more beautiful scenery and landscape (also with monkeys) in uluwatu. but if you go, buy bananas in the street market or you will overcharged inside	8
360	beautiful temple in a stunning setting with a gorgeous beach, sheers cliffs and angry white water breaking on the rocks. the temple is a lovely place to visit and the sunset is spectacular there. we drove a long way to see it and it was worth every minute. met loads of tourists there and loads of friendly reverend locals all paying homage with flowers. amazing place.	4
361	i was very hesitate to go here... our group had visited uluwatu temple a few days prior and those monkeys were so aggressive! however the monkey forest is much more relaxed.. unless you have food or a bottle in your hand they really don't bother with you. there are people selling bananas around the forest if you'd like a more close up encounter. monkey's aside the forest is a really nice area to walk around.	8
362	visited the site as part of an all day driving tour of bali sightseeing. beautiful setting, although it was the dry season so not all vegetation was in bloom or bright green. very picturesque temples on the lake. great photo opportunity for the family. fishing boats next to the temple site also provided good photo ops. a couple onsite restaurants looked tasty although we did not eat there. small shopping area outside the temple exit. no high pressure to enter the stalls. a comfortable setting to browse local goods. huge turn off to us was the multiple attempts for tourists trying to get photos of our girls. we have run into this many times before and granted a few photos, but here the tourists were aggressive and some trying to be sneaky to get photos.	2
363	not just a temple, tanah lot is a unique place to visit and not to mention an amazing photo opportunity. there are smaller little temples you can go in too and it's surrounded by shops just a short walk from the temple itself. downside would be the huge amount of tourists, but then again, i was one too! we paid 300,000 to get driven there, our guide to wait and take us back. slightly expensive we found so try and pay that as a max	17
364	it was crazy busy and to be honest a great deal of entertainment came from people watching. the monkeys are very aggressive and if you visit here after visiting the ubud monkey sanctuary you'll see a drastic contrast their behavior so if you value those sunglasses, water bottles or hat don't bring them along! amazing views of the surf and temples but unfortunately you're only able to view the temples from a distance as they were closed off to the general pop.	14
365	every where you go in bali, you will find the picture of this temple. so really wanted to go here... but be aware. when you book the driver. please specify ulundanu temple-bratan lake, as there is another temple with similar name. its a bit far from bali, but really worth the visit. on your way back , you can visit tanah lot temple. enjoy!!	18
366	was warned not to wear jewelry, caps and sunglasses but the monkeys were much less assertive than at uluwata temple. nice walks plenty of monkeys to see and the forest setting was beautiful.	8
367	loved it beautiful bit of paradise and tranquility. favourite place in bali at the mo. lovely place people reminds us of bali of old times	2
368	very awesome temple, one of a wonderful place in bali, a must place to visit when you are in bali. highly recommended!	2
369	got to say if you are in bali tanah lot temple - you must visit, temple wasn't the main feature in my opinion, the sunset and sea waves made it one of the beautiful sites you'll see. loads of mini market stalls and food. fyi free toilet inside the market.	18
370	there’s a lot of temples to see here (can’t remember exactly but between 4-8) but the best and most popular are the first 2. the gateway to heaven is massive and absolutely beautiful as if the view of mount agung.	4
371	it's one of the nicest temples among the temples in bali. normally there will be overloaded tourists visiting there. make sure you don't miss out if you've never been there before :)	2
372	we were very lucky to be there while a local hindu ceremony was on. the real flavour of the place as all the people were wearing beautiful clothes, they were offering and praying, traditional music and dance. there is an entrance fee, very cheap and you must wear sarong. if you don't have any you can hire one there. the temple is at the top of cliff and is small, but beautiful. not too many steps to get there. if you have a walk through the little paths before the temple you will see a panoramic views of the cliffs merging into the ocean. we didn't see any monkeys fortunately! good place to visit when the local ceremonies are on!!!	14
373	bali trip is incomplete without visiting this place. high up in the mountain, by a lake. beautiful weather. mesmerizing environment.	2
374	we loved this temple, the geography here is phenomenal we were amazed by the views. monkeys were not a problem at all. we arrived at about 3pm before the crowds that arrive for sunset. we thought that we finished just t the right time.	14
375	3rd time here! the sunset never fails to take my breath away! this place is ancient and stage is set at a spot where you can view the sunset as the dance starts. there is an entrance fee but i cannot recall how much. come early to enjoy the view and show starts at 6pm. attire: it is a temple so at least cover your legs but its okay if you don't, they give you a sarong. if are dress appropriately, they tie u a sash at the waist. the show is in balinese but they have descriptions on paper that will be handed to you before the show. interesting story! there are monkeys at this temple, so be extremely careful with your stuff. keep loose dangling items such as shades, water bottles, phones...i even saw a monkey pulling off a hair tie off a lady's ponytail!! so don't provoke them monkeys as vaccinations as a result of a monkey bite is very expensive and hard to get in bali. ( i know some travellers had to come by my country to get rabies vaccination after animal bites. ) be careful. anyways, this is a must see or visit if you come to bali! the kecak and the sunset from the cliffs are simply breathtaking!	2
376	there's a playground in the temple complex. i like to play there. i saw some puppies, temples, and boats.	4
377	it was rainy season, we were very lucky to even have the opportunity to witness one of the most spectacular sunset i've ever seen. it could be very crowded but the view is to die for. we stayed for 45 mins after the sunset to watch kecak fire dance performance. although it's a bit scary but it was worth the money.	13
378	nice temple close to the lake. the place is pretty relaxed and probably the right stay for half day. you can hire a boat in the lake	4
379	this is among most pictured temple at the huge lake. the kool breeze with great view would give you immense pleasure and and feed good factor. spend some time just watching the lake view. you would find the peace here.	4
380	like everything in bali you have to pay to see it, hundreds of people doing the same thing, huge park area around the temple grounds nicely kept, you can go down to the beach. temple itself makes a great photo probably better at sunset but was not there at this time.	2
381	this was my favourite place i visited in bali. leave to get there early afternoon as traffic can be horrendous getting out to tanah lot. make sure your there for the sunset. it is absolutely amazing. the views are stunning! there are market stalls and restaurants there to eat and drink cocktails. you can go down the cliff into the temple and be blessed. you can also touch the holy snakes while they read a prayer for good luck. fantastic afternoon! a must when you visit bali.	2
382	amazing view, a must in bali, you must be careful for your sunglass and hats.. monkeys love to steal them..	2
383	great place for a bali sunset. there are some nice places for that along the stretch, but best spot is around the italian restaurant la luciolla.	2
384	uluwatu temple is the best holy place in the world, the scenery was absolutely jaw dropping! do not forget to attend sunset kecak dance performance if visit this place	8
385	we got a driver to take us to uluwatu temple for sunset. wow, how amazing it was! after the stairs to the temple at the top, we found a pathway that went along the coast and it was great. we walked down a bit, and got some sunset photos. there were monkeys roaming the grounds, so make sure that your sunglasses, or other shiny things are put away. we encountered quite a few monkeys, and if you are wearing black flip flops, be careful. we saw the monkeys rip them off of people's feet to steal and chew/rip apart. you can also buy tickets for the kecak dance (fire dance), but we didn't.	8
386	this has been said before, but in order to grasp the situation and see the temple and it's surrounds, i had to witness it for myself. and yes! whoever wrote that this venue is a huge cash cow was absolutely right. entering the carpark almost gave me a heart attack as there were so many coaches parked up it resembled a bus station! .... and all these coaches had people in them, so that equated to many hundreds the only way i can describe the entrance and the route to the temple, would be like entering a factory outlet shopping park!! there were hawkers everywhere trying to sell cheap tat which was most off putting. walking down to the beach area and towards the temple there was a cave which supposedly housed a \holy snake\ but in order to see it you had to part with more money... but.... i think i know by now what a snake looks like, even a holy one at that. walking further up the hill towards the cafe we encountered more shops selling more tat... crazy really... but many of the shops were selling full native american head dresses for some reason! weird that.. so, a word of advise ; unless of course you desperately want to walk round with hoards of people & being accosted by hawkers, i would suggest you read up about this temple and look at as many pictures as you can - or better still, buy a video so you can experience this place in the comfort of your own armchair. but, having said that, i am pleased to have witnessed the hoards et all for myself and the saddest part of it all is,that you can't even get into the temple to see it..	4
387	the experience is perhaps less of a temple but walks along the cliff top path with dramatic cliff & sea view and lots of monkeys, so do not hold on to any food or fruit and hold tight of sunglasses and hats. we found the overall experience worthwile but average as to the temple buildings	14
388	a very nice view especially during sunset and at the same time can see the 'kecak dance' show. be careful, a lot of monkeys around, waiting to get your bags or other things.	13
389	it's a temple by the shores of bratan lake in the mountains nead bedugul, an iconic view. the temple has a park and surroundings that's worth to visit ... don't forget to get your iconic view, use the photographer, it's only around idr 15k-20k.	4
390	we arrived around sunset and the place was beautiful in the dying light. there are two temples, the smaller to the right and the larger on the other side. both are accessible, but you need at least an hour or two to explore them, particularly if there are crowds. it is must see, we feel.	4
391	exquisite temple built by side of beautiful and peaceful lake. if you don't want to visit more than 3 temples in bali, i would say this is one of them (the other two would be uluwatu temple and tirta empul).	2
392	ullawatu is pushed as the place to watch the sun go down whilst watching traditional balinese dance. herded like cattle and the cost of the dance is very high. an hour of keck keck shouting in failing light whilst packed in like sardines and no way of easy escape. don't waste your money.	8
393	dramatic view - it's an understatement. a very sacred balinese temple, revered by the locals, you might even catch a glimpse of a ceremony, large assemble of people dressed festively in traditional clothes, colorful and beautiful, handmade oranemnts and offerings, quiet and peaceful celebration. or maybe some very exotic harmonies of traditional music. the temple seems to exude an aura, and the blue waters at the bottom of the cliff connects it to the nature, drawing energy from it. eerie feeling, exotic beauty.	2
394	when coming to uluwatu temple, bring lots of money. you will be charged to park the bike, to rent the cover, unless you bring your own, to watch the fire dance. beautiful place, but very expensive	8
395	the view is breathtaking. temple perched high above, though you can't really get close. lots of wild monkeys around so beware of your belongings	14
396	tanah lot temple was the one of bali's amazing. i was there on the trip to banyuwangi and bali. i like this temple with the panoramic of sea near, with the angry waves foward to you. the sunset here its most beutifull time.	18
397	if u r going to uluwatu temple pls beware, the monkeys r crazy they will grab anything u have on hand n attack children. while husband was carrying my 3yr old daughter the monkey attacked them frm behind, pulled off my daughters brand new shoe and started chewing n tearing it into pieces, i was chased n attacked by another who pulled my sarong, wanted to grab my phone n refused to let go until my hubby yelled at it. all for no reason at all. we were just walking didnt even look at e monkeys or made fun of them. super scary. thank god all of us escaped unhurt.	8
398	the temple is nearly always close. but it's not for the temple that people go tu uluwatu. the most astonishing sunset i've ever seen. the temple on the cliff, the sunset, the ocean... it's worth the effort. the kecak dance can be avoided. you can see much better kecak in ubud, the one in uluwatu is really too much for tourists.	8
399	went during sunset. it was truly stunning. would recommend paying more to watch the show in the temple during sunset. be careful with the monkeys as they will steal anything that is showing (they tried to steal my flip flop!) so take off sunglasses, and camera cases and be careful with your phone.	13
400	great views, clean air, it´s a must see in bali! one of the best places to visit and an escape from the crowds in kuta.	2
401	the view is great, and the sunset too. but when i go, it so crowded with group tours. i can't even take a good view pic properly. still, one of the best sunset in bali. if you are taking a motorbike or scooter to uluwatu, please don't go back to late. cuz the road is so scary without street lamp. dark and quiet.	8
402	we arrived at the temple late morning, and surprisingly, it wasn't busy and we went straight in. all buildings are well decorated with gold and vibrant colours. peaceful surroundings, cool breeze over the lake, it's a beautiful site and a superb temple.	4
403	awesome place . interesting history . worth the travelling. make sure you know about the sea tides. high tides the temple will be closed . also make you get a driver or cab to bring you to and fro.	4
404	the setting of this temple is really nice, but unfortunately, like many temples we visited, it is crowded and touristy. however in saying that, i'm still glad i visited it, because it is in such a beautiful setting. this is a fact of life these days since instagram so we just have to grin and bear it.	4
405	one of the best sunset views in bali. their kecak dance is worth watching and the views of the ocean are breathtaking...	2
406	we didn't really go inside the temple but just went up the stairs to see the view. and it was a fabulous view of the cliff, seen such a view for the first time. the place was too crowded and the kecak dance had so many people that there was barely much place left for the dancers to dance. getting in and out is also a challenge as the cars would get stuck due to narrow roads. we went there from tanah lot to uluwatu and the drive was endless.	8
407	nice and beautiful sunset and enjoy dinner with fresh fish and also see the balinese dance performance	2
408	temple near shore is so beautifully located.one of the must visit place in bali. water in temple is crystal clear and not salty.sunset view is one of the wonderful thing to see.	2
409	you must walk until you reach the cliff and monkeys everywhere. if you do not touch the monkeys they do not touch you. tip: do not bring bright objects to sight sunglasses, camera etc, monkeys draws much attention and are fast thieves. you will have to dress in a sarong to visit the holy place. the temple is small but the important thing is the views	14
410	tanah lot is one of my favorite temples in the world. this place is truly magical & it’s a must see if you visit bali!	18
411	we were charged $6 entrance fee, made to jump hoops (drink holy water, get a tika, etc.) only to be turned back at the entrance stairs that go around the big rock. we drove all the way from ubud just for this temple and were terribly disappointed.	4
412	what a beautiful temple, this is one of the most beautiful ones i have ever seen. it s on a rock in the see, well more like coast rock.	4
413	excellent ocean view .. old temple in cliff ... mesmerizing place to relax and mingle with land and water in altitude .... sunset is remarkable ... kids enjoyed the clear indian ocean water .. turtle in water also can be seen	4
414	we came during mid afternoon which wasn't to busy and had a pleasure walk around the temple grounds. the cost of going in is a little high at $4.50 us as we had paid a lot less for better experiences. however it is worth the trip	4
415	this place is amazing, so unique, so bali, it's beautiful, we were fortunate to witness sunset from there and all i can say is wow! if you are in bali please add this to your program you will not be disappointed	2
416	a must see for anyone visiting bali.probably the major temple of bali.need to walk and climb a lot though ! also ,as the place is open and wooded,one should be careful of monkeys snatching away goggles and caps etc.uncovered legs require a sarong but full pant is ok.three or four layers of temples.the key thing is the sunset-it is out of this world !!! the red sun setting(at this time of the year at least) tends to be there for a very long time and reflects magnificently against the jutting peninsula ,on which the temple is situated	2
417	although the stated above says im not pleased it is still an amazing temple, go in the morning to avoid all the hasslers and enjoy the view with just a couple tourists	4
418	beatiful, exotic with sunset view.. memorable trip. beach and the old temple is great place to visit.	4
419	need to see this place if you're planning the east side bali tour. the area is not crowded with a lot of tourist unlike other places. you need a strong knee to climb up the stairs but it's worth seeing it.	2
420	we went with a driver, you have to pay the entrance fee and the park. lot's of turists, but it's good to visit because of the location at the lake and near the mountain/vulcano. the surronding environment it's mystic although i didn't like the \statues\ of colored animais in the garden around \for turists to play\ since they aren´t alowed to enter the temple itself.	4
421	god almighty. you haven't visit bali if you didn't come here and watch kecak dance while enjoy the sunset. mind your snacks, shiny and colorfull stuffs, they will attrack the monkeys and might grab them from you. you can purchase the kecak dance ticket through the website. show some respect by wearing proper clothes,	2
422	yes it's busy but there is still room to move around and doesn't ruin the experience. we all add to the congestion by being there!! we had about 2 hours before sunset and walked to the nearest temple first. it's not a long walk but you get he views to the south east and if you carry on towards the restaurant there are steps that lead part way down to the beach but is blocked - again you can get close to waves. we then followed path back up to where the cliff point is (snake charmer land) and saw tanah lot temple from above. it is amazing how it stands on its own. i can imagine it's better with tide in as the waves break against the temple! we walked down (yes crowded) but lots of space - maybe not for the instagrammers who want it all for themselves! the waves are very strong and unpredictable but nice to spend 30 mins there watching the waves and tanah lot close up. we then waited for sunset and there are many places to do this. aside from the spectacular sunset the other great phenomenon was the 100's of birds that suddenly appeared as the sun hit the horizon. i assume this is a daily thing! anyway, definitely a must see and just go with the expectation that others want to enjoy also and you won't be disappointed.	17
423	upon arrival you are surrounded by vendors everywhere. when you finally venture down to the temple it is beautiful. visitors are not allowed to enter. would recommend going during low tide so that you can walk around the temple	4
424	there are a lot of stalls selling many similar items on the way down to tanah lot but we just walked directly down to the beach as we are not so into them. tanah lot is beautiful and although most people go there at sunset, we were there during the day and it was lovely to visit. options while you are there include paying a donation and see the holy snakes in a cave by the temple and/or paying a donation to wash and drink the holy water and be blessed. a very beautiful place.	17
425	the temple is off course very beautiful but i really couldn’t stand the busses with the very rude chinese tourists . they have no manners and getting run over by the selfie sticks	4
426	the view from this temple is superb. we messed up the timing as we wanted to not miss the local dance performance which starts at 6pm - we only got there in time for the show so could not see the temple as it closes after the show. you should plan to get there no later than 5pm so you have enough time to take in the gorgeous views before the local dance performance which is a must-see.	13
427	nice place to visit if you're in the southern parts of bali. easy access, lots of things to see and photograph (but beware of the monkeys, they're mean :)) on some days in the evening a group performs the famous 'kecak' dance in front of the temple. better than in ubud, where noise from the traffic disturbs the atmosphere	2
428	this was the only balinese dance we attended during our vacation, and i'm so glad we chose this spot. we arrived around 5 pm, an hour before the dance. my husband was given a sarong to wear as he had on shorts. i had worn a longer skirt, so only had a sash to wear. the temple was very crowded, but there were spectacular views from the terraces. only saw 1 monkey, contentedly chewing on some poor tourist's sunglasses.... we joined the masses for the dance, which was interesting and entertaining. always surprised at the number of people who will get up and leave in the middle of an event. the best part is the backdrop, with the setting sun, rising moon, and the lights of the fishboats shining through the dusk. absolutely picture perfect and a wonderful memory of bali.	2
429	the temple is beautiful situated on a rock. the nature (sea and beach) around the temple is amazing.	4
430	we loved this temple and the surroundings were filled with different kind of flowers blooming to perfection.	4
431	this is a very lovely temple in a scenic location on a lake. it can get very crowded, but if you are patient you can still get some good photos of the temple. i was lucky to witness a big ceremony while i was here. you can take a boat ride on the lake, or wander through the large gardens. plenty of souvenir shopping to do and loads of places to eat & sleep. there is a super local fresh market - this is a huge agricultural area, so the produce cannot get fresher. you should bargain though. fresh locally grown strawberries are a bonus here!	4
432	we(married couple in 30s) went to uluwatu temple on 31st oct 2015. the temple is situated in the southern part of bali.the temple and surroundings are good, clean. the temple is the best place to view the sunset. the entrance fee to the temple is 20,000 id rupiah per person. they provide you sarong to cover your knees.there is a kecak fire dance daily at 6pm which can be seen for a fee of 100000 id rupiah per person. tourists normally visit the uluwatu temple and then have seafood dinner at jimbaran bay.	8
433	there's a lot of people flocking to the area around of temple to see sunset, but still i managed to find a very good place to see sunset. waves are high which adds a lot of beauty to the spot. highly recommended for anyone loving sunset.	4
434	tanah lot temple like all other balinese temples ask you to shell out money to enter the holy springs under the small cliff seperated from the land by a small puddle of sea water. nice view from up the garden cliff where other small temples r situated. thats about it.... nothing special unless there are so many souvenirs shops selling t-shirt and sarongs and toilets (yes chargeable toilets everywhere). a boring attractions for someone like me unless clicking cute pics with my wifey.	17
435	uluwatu temple was the last temple we visited in bali, and what a finish to our trip it was! it has the most picturesque location i have seen of any temple in bali. beautiful cliffs looking down to the ocean perched on the edge of which was this beautiful temple. this temple provides photo opportunities like no other. watching the sun set over the waters, you almost feel like the time shouldn't stop. i could have stood there forever watching that spectacle - it was that breathtaking! a fire dance performance takes place in an amphitheater-like setting just around the sunset time overlooking the beautiful ocean. we were unable to see it due to lack of time, but i can just imagine how mesmerising it would have been!	8
436	to us all temples after the fourth one we visited looked exactly the same. however in this one there were several local old men who tried to cheat us or ask for money every 100yards.	4
437	very unexpected to be walking through markets one moment & then it just opens up to ocean & the temple. unfortunately we were there at high tide so could not walk out to temple. so try & time your visit for this at low tide to get the full experience. beautiful views though with plenty of vantage points to take photos. you can see all the way up the coast on a clear day. lots of people trying to sell postcards and wanting to take your photo (at a cost of course) but they aren't to pushy and polite. the footpaths are fantastic with very view steps, however the part in front of the main temple on the main land is a little rough. would need to be very careful with children. small parking fee and entry fee to pay (sorry can't remember how much it was) lots of market stalls, food and drinks available. you could walk around this place for hours. definitely worth the visit, a beautiful place.	4
438	nothing much there because when we go there's high tide so we couldn't make it to the temple. there's a few shop where you can buy souvenirs at a fairly good price. overall nice place to visit!	4
439	great temple and amazing view of the temple in the lake. a bit too far especially coming from kuta area but a must see when you visit bali	2
440	not worth visiting, horrible way to the temple you can may photoshopp it. place is crowded not too much to see.	4
441	it's all about the location with this temple sitting atop the cliff-edge of a mountain. large enough area with many spots where one can spend a moment peacefully admiring the beautiful views. can, and does, get extremely busy at sunset! our drive there was just over an hour so that was a big plus. the drive out of there could be horrendous as everyone leaves at the same time after the firedance performance - we skipped it. do beware the monkeys - they are wild after all!	14
442	we were on a outdoor trip in bali and hired a taxi and visited tanha lot and uluwatu the same day. must say we were only looking forward to kechak dance performance that starts at 6pm sharp and to grab front seats you must reach before 6. the temple isnt too fascinating. kind of a cramped place and not worth heading the stairs up. but kechak dance was worth it all. what a performance. completely fanatic..!!! deserve all the applaud.. character of hanuman and sita most preferred and high energy in all the people involved in the performance makes it a superb one. must say it was a house full show and it is like this always. we paid 1 lac idr each to watch this performance. background view of ocean along with sunset, cool breeze and a stunning performance.	8
443	the place is great, the views are beautiful, also the market place located around the temple is great with amazing products at extremely affordable prices. just remember to negotiate the prices a lot, it's ok over there.	4
444	gorgeous, secluded, cliff-side beach on bali's south shore...absolutely worth a stop for a couple of hours on the way to uluwatu. i'd recommend hiring a driver because the roads can be pretty confusing!	8
445	we went to the temple as the kecak dance was highly recommended by my friends who visited bali. the entry to the temple costs 20000 idr and in order to see the kecak dance you have to pay 100000 idr more. but it is not to be missed. the dance happens at sunset and the ambience is amazing.	2
446	we visited uluwatu temple around midday, it was hot and humid but it was worthy. the views of the cliffs and temple are spectacular. the downside are the monkeys, it seems they do not have enough food so they grab anything from you. at the end of our visit traffic was so heavy that took us almost three hours to get to seminyak so i would recommend to visit the temple really early in the morning to avoid traffic.	8
447	there are many conflicting names for this place depending on what material you refer to. most tourists know it as bedugul from the travel brochures. but the name of the temple itself is actually called pura ulun danu or ulun danu temple. and the lake it is situated on is danau bratan/lake bratan. if you are travelling from seminyak/kuta, it’s a long way drive of about 2hours one way. normally people will stop by at jatiluwih (terraced rice fields) before or after this place, then it is about 1 hour apart. the road to ulun danu is even narrower, windy and hilly. along the way, you will pass by villages as well all nice vegetables and flower farms until you reach the part where you start climbing the mountain. most tourist visit this place in the morning due to better views. however i went there in the afternoon and the view is still pretty clear. also it is less crowded in the afternoon compared to in the morning. while you are there enjoy the beautiful garden compounds, before proceeding to the floating temple and last but not least take a walk to the extreme left of the area where you will arrive at the pond area where the stunning mountainous view is right in front of you. a lot of people don’t walk to this area therefore it is much less crowded. to me this is the best part of the whole place. just standing there, enjoying the amazing sights while feeling the cooling air brushing off against your skin. no words can describe how good the feeling is. ulun danu temple / bedugul / lake bratan (whichever name you call it) is a great place to visit when you are bali. the long road trip is more than worth it.	30
448	this temple is located high on the mountain overlooking the water. it has a gorgeous view! beware of the monkeys there! they are very aggressive and will steal sunglasses, hat, camera, purses. you better hang on to your personal items! they are not as friendly as those in the monkey forest!	14
449	i was fortunate enough to find a local tour company that allowed me to customize my itinerary (i was able to squeeze in tegelalang rice terraces, mt. batur volcano in kintamani, coffee plantation, tanah lot, and uluwatu beach, uluwatutemple + sunset kecak fire dance all in one day). i would have to say that the uluwatu part was the highlight, and i rightfully requested that we be able to catch the sunset there. the temple was nested atop a cliff, waves of blue crashing against it. i almost did not include this in my list of places of to visit due to other reviews' warnings against the monkeys being very aggressive here. i'm so happy that i still went because most fortunate part was there weren't any monkeys when i visited in september! you can do without the kecak fire dance but if you have idr 100,000 to spend, as well as the time, i would recommend still going. the performers were quite entertaining and engaged the audience to participate towards the end. if you do, get to the dance area by 5:00pm for good seats and make sure you have an umbrella as the sun is still glaring at this time.	8
450	being someone who loves indian history and methodology. uluwatu temple and kecak dance should be definitely on the list for anyone visiting bali. such beautiful temple on the cliff especially on the sunset. the only dilemma is whether to view sunset from temple boundaries or while kecak dance. both are amazing way to end the day. i would definitely suggest heading to south beaches during the day and off to uluwatu temple. if you are courageous enough hire a scooter nearby and make your way there on scooter. you'll save so much time.	8
451	was amazing to see the ritual processions of the hinduculture with mirage and typical clothing. nice walk around along the clifs and shores to see the uluwatu temple. little bit scared that monkeys would steal something. but you can call the staff when something s stolen. no worries. must see!	8
452	uluwatu had some nice views from the cliffside that the 'temple' is perched on. you can take a short hike along the ledge which is where all the nice pictures are from. beware of the monkeys! the path is littered with food, broken sunglasses, and sandals that have been stolen by the little hooligans. beyond the cliffside views and the monkeys, the place is unremarkable. the religious structures were also gated off when we visited. as others have noted, you will need to wear a sarong to gain entry. you can catch the kecak performance here as well but the reviews are average at best. cost was 100k idr per person (foreigner) and we opted to skip it. (hint: youtube it) traffic here is also terrible; it took us 1.5 hours to get here from sanur. if staying for the kecak dance i am sure it is even worse when exiting.	8
453	stunning locale, easy walk up and down; kecak dance with the sunset as a backdrop leaves you spellbound. be very very careful of the monkeys, we saw monkeys snatch away sun glasses, snacks, water bottles etc. and be sure to reach a little early to get the best seats to watch the kecak dance.	13
454	been there in may 2018. arrived around 5 pm, the entrance fee is idr 60k per person. most travelers choose to visit from 5 - 7 pm. due to sunset view and this consider the best time to visit. in the coastal areas there is a small cave and inside the caves, there are snakes with black and white color. have you heard about the tanah lot sacred snake, this black and white striped snake is intended. they called it holy snake. while waiting for the sunset, i'm just explore around the temple. there's several souvenir and coffee shop but i'm not sure about the price. they also have kecak dance here but as i been told by my supir, the storyline is just the same as at uluwatu temple.	8
455	a truly amazing natural site to visit. bali always amazed me, and this site is a must go. for photographers, you can have tons of beautiful scenes to take.	2
456	the place is very very beautiful. but always crowded. not much of a walk. so anyone can go there. you have to go down to the temple and beach also. but you cannot enter the temple. best time would be about 7 or 8 in the morning.	4
457	been there as part of my visit to bali in 2013. it's a great temple (though i haven't seen it) but the journey and place was awesome. it was on a hill and view of sea from there is just too good. you can enjoy the sunset also as generally you visit this place this evening. it also has those special monkeys who have pointed ears at the end. they look very cute. main highlight of this place is the live show which is ramayan (story from indian mythology) where they showsmall fight sequence between ravana (from lanka now called sri lanka) and hanuman (devotee of lord ram). very enjoyable act and well played too.	2
458	this place is nice for the views. to make it worth the trip, stay for the kacak dances (pronounced cachak). you pay around 9 dollars per ticket. it starts at around 5:30 pm. be patient, it drags on for a bit and some people leave early. if you dig in, when the sun goes down , the show picks up and is quite a bit of fun.	13
459	the temple is nothing special at all. what is special are the amazing views with the sheer drop of the cliffs to the beach and sea below. the monkeys are vile. be careful as one did grab my sister's glasses and on instinct she put out her hand for them and the monkey bit her badly on the hand. it was a bad bite and required a series of rabies vaccinations. the monkeys are horrible so please be careful of anything that is shiny and catches the light - glasses, hair clips, jewellery etc. sunset at the temple is lovely and the kecak and fire dance is fabulous. it does get a bit monotonous but it is ok to leave during the performance if you have seen enough.	14
460	this temple was truly beautiful. grounds are well maintained and you are actually allowed inside the temple unlike a lot of others in bali that we have been to. well worth seeing.	2
461	though this is a very touristy spot, it does not take away the overall beauty of this place. this is one of a kind temple! unlike other conventional temple, this is actually a temple on the water! advice going during low-tide (that's when you can walk across to the temple on water)!	4
462	the minute we stepped foot on property we immediately regretted coming. if you google what touristy is. this place will come up. there were so many people and this was at 3 pm. i can't imagine what this place is like at sunset. i saw more selfie sticks in 5 minutes there then i did my whole life. i would only come here first thing in the morning and get in and out. i'm sure during high tide the view of the temple would be better. is it worth battling traffic to get a picture of this? look at all those people. no thanks.	4
463	after a hours drive, we arrived to see the temple & the famous sunset. we didn't get near the temple & the sunset was not happening due to over head thunderstorm clouds. the monkeys are very scary. they will grab your bag, earnings. they snatch my daughters glasses from her face & took my flip flops from my feet. really scary.	14
464	i'm not much of a sunset person but i give this one credit. it's very dramatic! you're on a cliff watching the sunset with hundreds of people. temple was also interesting with the white stone. downside was the traffic going and coming back... but since on vacation- what's the rush?	4
465	tanah lot is a temple in the middle of sea and a treat to eyes during sunset. but it gets really crowded. when you enter, there are 2 paths - one that goes to batu bolong and the other one to tanah lot (both being in the same campus). personally, i liked batu bolong more than tanah lot. you can go down the stairs and go to the batu bolong beach (almost all to yourselves, since there were very few tourists down there). the views are amazing - big waves and sunset. truly a must visit when you are in bali.	18
466	definitely worth taking the time to visit this temple. it's pretty amazing, especially if you strike a day where the waves are crashing hard against the rock itself. make sure you take the time to look around the area, walk to the golf course and take the path to the point where you can look back on the temple. very beautiful scenery.	4
467	you have to visit these 'must see' places to realise that they aren't! after 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. the 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. best to visit at low tide so you can get closer but you can't visit the actual temple. there 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). the best views are from a distance so maybe at high tide you don't miss anything after all. photos 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. all in all - been there, done that, won't be back.	4
468	hire a driver is better to come here as the distance is quite far (eastern part of bali). we stayed in kuta took almost 2.5 hours to get there. the view from the top is nice, able to see ocean, great combination architecture. worth to visit this!	2
469	the place is breathtaking , the temple was locked when we went , as a matter of fact all temples in bali have restricted access , we didn't get to go inside any temples since al of them were closed ,don't know if they have particular entry timings , there is a golf course near by and u can see it from here , when there is low tide u can walk across to the other side so make sure you go well prepared to walk in the water , that is if u r a little more adventures , on the whole it's a beautiful place and a must visit	2
470	a site by the sea, comprised of 2 average hindu temple complexes, one of them turning into island at high tide. above the entry gates i would say nothing thrilling thete. if you have few hours free, can drop by.	4
471	avoiding uluwatu temple because of bad reviews on trip advisor would be a big mistake. yes the monkeys can be a problem, but now that you know about them you can take the appropriate steps to not have your visit ruined by them. first up, remove hats, sunglasses and wear proper shoes. don't carry shiny 'prizes' for the monkeys to get hold of or food and make sure your camera is secure. pay a 'guide' to escort and look after you. you will get ripped off, but what is ripped off? we agreed to pay our guide 50000rp with the idea of offering another 50000 as a tip. she kept the monkeys at bay and was informative and friendly and stayed with us for hours, insisting she stay after we made it known we were waiting until after the sunset. we were glad she did in the end as the monkeys do get a little crazy as night falls. she ended up getting 170000rp out of us. fleeced? probably. but big deal. that was under $20aud to guide and look after us for at least 3 hours and help us enjoy a wonderful attraction. sunset is busy but a pleasure if you get the right conditions and you will get some great photo ops. the temple is a little boring other than its location, but the view is amazing! you will have to pay 3000rp to hire a sarong on entry but it was made clear to us guides are not essential so make your own choice on that. my personal opinion is uluwatu is well worth a visit.	8
472	nice view of temple with surrounding area. a lot of tourist.a place must of visit to bali first timer. many small shop outside selling souvenir with great bargain	2
473	we went on a 3 temple tour, but this one was the most spectacular. too cloudy to catch the sunset but an amazing temple built by hand and formed by the sea	4
474	too many people and the litter detracted from the fact that this was a sacred place, saw more meaningful temples in peoples homes	4
475	the temple isnt anything special, but the view from up there is pure magic! we watched the sunset and walked around the grounds. there are several free monkeys, the big attraction of that place, be aware of your stuff!!!	14
476	likely a very beautiful place, but way too many people (unknowingly went on a 'public holiday' & thousands of tourists from jakarta at 11am-sunset would have been worse tho). empty water bottles & rubbish, plus selfie sticks everywhere-careful they don't knock u or ur kids over the cliff on mainland! kinda felt like a circus which was a shame. tide was in so likely would get a better feeling if going when tide is out & can walk across to temple. bizarrely the bamboo restaurant with water feature at the exit seemed way more peaceful & respectful of the spirituality of the area. perhaps better to go to a quieter local temple & just buy a postcard of tanahlot at airport😀. nonetheless have no expectations & may be pleasantly surprised-probably like most things in life!	18
477	this is definitely a beautiful temple with the surrounding lake. the lake gives you a feeling of serenity. but there are too many tourist about. i don't think it is worth the long drive up just to spend 30 mins to look at the temple. if you are planning on spending a half day there to enjoy a nice picnic. otherwise there are equally if not nicer temples to visit. i went there from benoa and it took nearly 3 hours to get there. with a baby in the car, it was challenging not much to see on the way there. (but could be my driver who doesn't know where to stop) the actual destination for this place is in danau beratan (lake beratan) and not as it shows on the map.	4
478	the view from top of the mountain near the temple is one of the amazing thing i have ever seen. the sunset is also mesmerizing over there.	4
479	this is a must see place in ubud do not miss it at all! the monkeys are amazing and not aggressive as the ones in uluwatu temple. the jungle is very beautiful and with a lot of monkeys all around. you can take a lot of amazing photos and videos. it takes at least 2 hours to enjoy all parts of it and when you are entertained with the monkeys you will forget the time.	8
480	its just something everyone who travels to this part of bali needs to experience at least once. join the throng of people that flock here to enjoy the sunset. if you're like me and dont go to kuta this is the place to people watch, wander along the beach in the mornings, enjoy a sunset drink at la plancha.	2
481	too much people there and also entrance fee applicable as well for the area where it is on the sea itself while this also have to walk quite a distance passing through quite a lot of shops beforw reaching it not as beauty as the other temple also wave is big that period of time.	4
482	this is a great temple because the view around temple is so...beautiful. there monkey around the temple, so please be careful with your things. :-) better go in the afternoon to see this place	14
483	a lovely temple, but many years ago i able to walk around it. no longer is that the case. bus load after bus load of tourist desend here for sun set. holy water and holy snake (both small caves) are near bye, go and look if it is your first time, as everyone is curious. i have been here three times since 1983. but the crowds are too much for me now, i will watch the sunset from a beach, without the bother of the traffic jam.	4
484	not something we see in australia, so it was nice to hike up and experience it. it’s a solid hike, and a bit cold at the top. you almost forget that you are in bali. beautiful lush green surrounds. lots of market gardens all around. the big lake looks beautiful, especially from the mountain top.	2
485	once you have passed the commercial area between the car park and the garden areas running along the coastline around the temple it is very picturesque. it was high tide and not around sunset so we could not get to the temple and missed the best time of day to see it but we still enjoyed the visit.	4
486	this temple ought to be visited as early as possible in the morning, before the crowds and clouds gather. we left sanur at 6am and reached here at 7.45am while the sky was clear and blue, the air cool and crisp, and only a few other tourists present (meaning that our photos weren't littered with little people milling about); in retrospect i would even have arranged to set off at 5.30am or even 5am. we spent 45 minutes wandering around the temple grounds and lake, before spending the rest of the morning and early afternoon trekking to the 3 waterfalls in munduk and enjoying kopi luwak and bergedils (potato croquets) at eco cafe. pleasant day!	4
487	the in/ out is a huge market. the temple itself is pretty unique and recommend you head up to the sunset bars in the day for tourist free view as down below there will be thousands of mostly local tourists. about $10 entry. easy parking if arriving on a scooter.	4
488	i've been here twice now. the last visit was around miday and it was stinking hot. only saw 3 monkeys - the rest must have been hiding in some shade. the temple is unimpressive and there is really nothing much to do. i recommend blue point over this place.	14
489	went for a day tour before the issue of mt agung eruption. amazing temple that located face to face at mt agung. although it took a long time to drive here, but all worthit for a visit to amazing temple. highly recommend! please remember, if the weather good you will have a great picture of mt agung. weather permitting! good luck !	28
490	me and my family visit in january 2012. it was peak season (chinese new year). we go to uluwatu temple, especially to see the kecak dance, i heard it’s the best performance kecak dance in bali. yes, the uluwatu’s view is awesome. yes, monkeys are cute (not “the thief” one). but we’re disappointed by the dance. staffs keep selling the ticket although the seating area was already full. there’s not enough space for the dancer and i can see they’re difficult to move. as far as i know, this is a very sacred dance, but they made it look like a comedy show. however, it’s really kind entertaining for the tourist. for you, who want to see the real kecak dance with comfortable seat, don’t come here!	8
491	this place is charming. there are lot of people so you must be patient them throught making photos but the temple and view around is simply more. there are also shops and restaurants in one area, so you can be here from lunch to sunset which is many people here for	4
492	this is a unique spot with a beautiful temple perched on top of a rock at the edge of the ocean shoreline. there are lots of shops outside the temple grounds to enjoy.	4
493	this temple is something worth seeing if you get the chance. it’s perched up on a cliff with the waves splashing some 70 meters below. it is hot and not much shade so bring a hat and wear sun screen. just keep in mind that you have to watch the monkeys. they will gladly take your hat or glasses from you. even a shoe and hold it at ransom. only once they are satisfied with the bundle of fruit given to them will they drop the item for you to collect. other than that there are a few fantastic places to stop of civit coffee on route. worth a trip and it can be a made into a day trip or just morning trip	14
494	the temple is not accessible and it's not possible to see it close. however it's worth to visit to do a beautiful cliff walk and see monkeys.	14
495	its a must visit for all traveller's in bali ! its takes about an hour from south kuta. entrance fees is 10k for children and 20k for adults. also you have to wear the sarongs to cover your legs for men and women , as the religious place requires a dress code. its a nice walk around the temple area and also you can get great snapshots of the temple on the edge of the cliff ! the sunsets here are really beautiful . theres a kecak dance at sunset , and a must see ! get to the ceremony arena in time to get good seats ! tickets for the kecak dance are sold on the spot. beware , lots of monkeys in the area . keep your bags at bay and your goggles , hats and flashy items tucked away!	2
496	we were surprised to see the new tanah lot. the garden and pathways make the experience really enjoyable. of course the temple itself is the main attraction but the new addition to the facility elevate it to world-class attraction.	17
497	ahh the famous bali \heaven gate\. super beautiful to see - especially in the hours before and at sunset! a bit off putting was the 3 hour waiting queue to take pictures at the gate. wake up people!	2
498	absolute must at sunset, an amazing moving place to view for serenity and photographic opportunities. best to arrive around 4:30pm, grab a coffe and take it all in. as the sun goes down it turns into an amazing spectacle, you can drop down onto the coast line and walk viewing the exposed corals, polyps and invertebrates. normal tradition to enter into the temples, sarong, scarf and head dress but even viewing from the various points it's really amazing.	4
499	probably the best 10,000 rp ($1) value anywhere. i would guess that most people would drive straight past and not even know it was there. the temple is a great example of the wonders of bali and how it would have been pre-colonial times; even though it was only built in the 1900's. the hidden gem is that you can pay a little extra and swim in one of the pools at the back - still only rp 6,000 more.	2
500	the indian ocean view is beautiful. however, lots of monkeys. do not carry any loose articles like caps or sun shades. they will be snatched.	14
501	these monkeys are friendly, however respect the rules. definitely a better experience here than in uluwatu.	8
502	this is located in a wonderful place...sunset is gorgeous but not visible on cloudy days...the temple is very beautiful as well!!	4
503	if you are exploring the island of bali, then this scenic temple is a must see!!!! the location is absolutely stunning. the temple is located by the beratan lake and the mountain. this temple is dedicated to worshiping hindu gods brahma - vishnu - shiva as well as the lake goddess danu. the serene environment of the temple is perfect to walk around and the picturesque surroundings are perfect for photography. we have seen many temples but with the mesmerizing views of this temple, this one is our favorite balinese temple. advise to fellow travellers, don't miss this temple!!!	2
504	visited here to see the traditional fire dance. the views are amazing although there is a lot of traffic as so many people come to visit. there are lots of monkeys about so make sure you put away you glasses, bags etc as they will try to snatch them. if you have shorts on they with give you a sarong which i used to wrap over my bag. we paid 100,000 rupiah to watch the fire dance which i initially thought was expensive (we were backpacking) but it was well worth it. try to get there a little early if you like to take a good picture. only one side will get pictures with the sunset in the background.	13
505	we visited this temple on one of the hindu religious day and it was really busy.the best time to go one hour before sunset. the temple is on a rock in an island which is shaped by the tides. sound of the waves is very refreshing. the sea is absolutely clean and reflects the blue sky.there are lots of shops along the road going to the temple from the entrance. this is a must visit and one my favorite place in bali.	2
506	i know some people knock the instagram worthy photo, but i liked it. went there first on our day trip after reading how others had to wait hours in line. got there around 9 and probably waited 20-30mins. so that done time to actually enjoy lempuyang. there is a bit of work going on at the first level but doesnt interfere with your experience. excellent temple for serious hikers, who would be keen to walk up to the highest level..which could take a few hours overall. nice views the higher you go.	28
507	tanah lot is a crowded beach. you can get sun set view when the sky is clear. there is a beautiful temple and scenery. it is also near denpasar.	17
508	we stopped here on a trip from amed to ubud. it was the first water temple i had seen and i thought it was very beautiful. and according to my friends there were a lot fewer tourists which made it even more enjoyable. you can even walk on the stepping stones in the water!	4
509	the last time i came here was several years ago and i enjoyed the short time that we visited this area. this time we came with 3 family's and they had changed the entry access with a major marketplace designed to channel tourists through to get to the temple. also they set up charges of 60,000 rp per head to enter. even before our families entered it cost us aud $84. the temple itsef is situated on a rocky outcrop just off the shore line which can only be accessed by foot at low tide. it is worth a pic or two. we were actually very disappointed as apart from the 10 minutes looking at the temple at high tide we pretty much walked straight back out of the park through the heavy barrage of desperate market people trying to flog the overpriced souvenirs. it is a shame they had to over commercialise it like they have done because i would never recommend it to anyone. at aud $6 a head, don't waste your money.	4
510	perfect holiday in small paradise island lembongan bali i will come to stay longer next time staff very nice and helpful to get information about lembongan.	2
511	this is my family second visit. first was in 2002. our experiences are as follows : pros : 1) the view around the temple is spectacular especially the cliffs. 2) not crowded in the morning (before 10.00am). 3) parking is easily available. cons : 1) entrance fee is rp20,000. it was free in 2002. 2) the temple was closed and there were many buildings near the temple. in 2002, it was only the temple and we could walk right to the entrance but not enter the temple. it is a must see but we will not visit it again. highly recommend for first timers especially for the view.	4
512	tanah lot is one of those places that always looks so stunningly beautiful in all the photos; to be there in the flesh made me appreciate the temple even more, however, i could not fathom how busy it was whilst i was there. although marvellous, now that i've been there once, i wouldn't want to traipse through the crowds to return there again unless there was some special reason to.	17
513	one of the best temple sites ever seen! 4 temples by the lake and so very scenic. would visit again when in bali!	2
514	this was by far my favorite place in bali. the energy and beauty here are unsurpassed. it truly is a natural temple - you feel part of something bigger than yourself. wonderfully cool lake breeze. a place to relax and let your worldly cares go. do not miss this!	2
515	when looking at the blogs and websites describing this temple, i was really excited to go give it a look. it was on our way back from a waterfall visit and my girlfriend and i decided to make a stop here. i’ll start off with the good. the property was well kept up and clean. it definitely had more the feel of a quirky, contemporary park than a sacred temple complex. there are funny little statues scattered about the park area and it’s a decent stroll. when you arrive at the lake, the temple you see in the picture is very small. it is beautiful, but for some reason it just didn’t wow me like other balinese temples. perhaps if you go during a ceremony it would be a much more interesting experience. we walked away disappointed, but we did have a nice chat with some javanese students who were practicing their english and recording for a school project. they were very nice and we had fun chatting with them!	2
516	a touristy place, at tide this unique temple on a tiny island is separated from the main land. you can cross the water to visit at certain times of the day. usually visitors will seat in some basic, open air cafes along the beach across the temple. you can watch great sunset from these cafes. lot of souvenirs shop and there is also traditional dance performance but not as spectacular as in uluwatu.	4
517	this place is not worth the 3-hr drive from tanjung benoa. we were picked at 5am on advice from tour company. temple was packed already at 8am. tourists are given numbers and when your number is called you can go up for your picture of the gate opening. we waited about 45 minutes to see how fast the line was going and they only got through about 10 numbers. we would have had to wait at least another 3 hours to get our picture. we decided to give up and not waste the whole day. our tour guide walked us back down the hill a little ways and we paid a small donation to use another photo opportunity spot. lempuyang is for the instagram kids!	28
518	the views really are spectacular. there are some monkeys, but just a small fraction of what you'd see at the temple in ubud. these monkeys absolutely will steal your sandals and/or sunglasses, so be careful. i was a little annoyed by the guides, who claimed that we needed to pay for a tour but it was nothing more than attempt to take my cash. no tour guide is necessary- all they do is walk around with a slingshot, pretending to keep you safe from the monkeys.	14
519	the location of this temple is the ultimate attraction of bali. from various corners you'll get superb breathtaking views.....don't miss the sunset view. just go for it....	2
520	when you research bali, one of the most iconic tourist attractions is tanah lot temple. a 11th century temple, it is one of the 7 great water temples of bali perched on a giant stone in the indian ocean. the legend of a hindu prophet who slept on the stone and its resident guards of sea snakes adds a primal romance to the place. no question i was gonna visit here and watch the sunset for myself. traveling from my hotel in sanur i left around 3 p.m. with a expectation of arriving in 45 minutes, but, i soon learned that traffic through sanur to tanah lot's park was abit more involved than i expected. narrow two lane road and lots of traffic doubled the time giving me about an hour to look around before sunset. arriving at tanah lot you pay an entry fee and then proceed into a park style grounds. local vendors and fancy western shops such as \ralph lauren\ are inside. walking on down the cobblestone street brings you to the indian ocean and the powerful surf crashing against the boulders and cliff side. if your a photographer and want to get the best shots, get there early and walk along the shoreline to the outside cliffs facing back to the west. be warned, large, large crowds will gather near the temple and many other photographers will jockey for position along the rocky shoreline. arriving early will avoid any problems in finding the composition your looking for. so, you want some trinkets? some prayers? or, do you want to watch one of the coolest and most epic sunsets you'll never forget?? make the trek along the shoreline and frame the silhouette of the temple against the indian ocean's western sky. wait,,, watch,,, and listen... smell the salt air and feel the breeze from the crashing surf kiss your skin. your looking at a structure that has been around for almost 1000 years on the island of the gods... the colors, the sounds, the smells,,, its an epic moment as you pay witness to sundown at tanah lot....	18
521	i’ve been in bali a while and have seen a few temples, this one i visited twice and i like it a lot. the entree is 50.000 (~3€) and the view just beautiful. it has a garden/park area around and is nice to hang around. a bit unlike other temples since e.g. a sarong is not needed and the atmosphere is very laid back. if you can, go visit it.	2
522	a holy place by a holy lake ... the temple is really great as you discover it step by step going towards the lake. take your time as you'll find many tourists with you so ... slow down and enjoy the place. we had lots of fog the day we went, is created an amazing atmosphere with temples appearing & disappearing every minute ... great souvenir!!	4
523	temple tanah lot is one of the main attractions in bali. the temple is located on a rock off the island and apparently reachable by foot at low tide. however, when we there waves were huge and tide was high hence we watched it from a distance with hundreds of other tourists. the place is in fact very crowded and consists mostly of stalls selling the usual stuff one finds in bali. we were not too impressed with this site visit. one of those one wants to tick off the list. would not visit again.	18
524	we rushed to catch the sunset at uluwatu temple. it was beautiful, the sky return purple/pink. magical sight to see here as your on a very high cliff and if you have the right camera, you wont be disappointment. we caught the last 15mins of a balinese sunset show, must see.	8
525	the temple is located on a cliff. it has magnificent views overlooking the indian ocean. traditional balinese architecture temple. there are some dance performances happening , as well as ramayana.	2
526	compared to the frenetic pace of the rest of bali, ulan danu is so peaceful. despite it also being a huge tourist attraction, the lakeside and mountain setting, and spacious gardens, provide and serene and calming setting. the small temple is located on an island, but that depends on the lake level, so it can be walked around at times. it is as beautiful a location as any in bali and worth the trip.	30
527	this place is fine.it's nice,it's pleasant its ok. but it is nothing special and if you don't see it you will not have missed much. we did'nt go to the dance as we have seen one before. the view is fine but the hoards of tourists from buses make it crowded. include it on your trip but don't go out of your way to get there.	13
528	we did the usual day tour from seminyak that takes you to padang padang beach followed by uluwatu temple and then on to jimbaran bay. it is really worth the drive to go here - approx 1 hour to the beach and another 20 minutes to the temple. make sure you arrive at the temple around 5pm so you have time to get parked, get in and wander before the show or the sunset. there is a lovely cliff top walk which you get incredible views from and also get to see some monkeys (just keep your things out of sight as they like to steal them - we watched one grab a phone and throw it over the cliff!) it costs 30,000 idr each to get in which includes your sarong (if you have knees on show you have to wear a sarong to cover them). we watched the kecek dance which is another 100,000 idr each. if you want to watch this then make sure you arrive at around 5.40pm to the theatre before the 6pm start as the theatre fills up very quickly and you will end up on the floor with a poor view if you arrive at 6pm. as you walk into the theatre sit on the right hand side as then you get a great view of the dance + sunset. also, buy the tickets for the show when you arrive at the temple as it sells out quickly. we went to the show as were intrigued by what it was, we are glad we saw the culture and what it was about but we wouldn't go again and an hour is a long time to sit and watch something that is quite monotonous! we left 10 minutes before the end to avoid the mad rush and it was a good decision as we saw a couple at jimbaran bay and it took them 2 hours to get back vs. our 55 minutes as traffic coming out of the temple is bad. a note on jimbaran bay if you go here after - do your research and find a good restaurant and ask your taxi driver to drop you there rather than one they recommend. taxi drivers will often take you to places they get commission from and we fell victim of this and ended up at a bad one - avoid sri gangga cafe.	13
529	this temple has a few rules but unless you are over 6 months pregnant or menstruating you should be good. they require everyone to cover knees and shoulders and have sarongs for rent. if you bring your own, the temple is free, however a donation must be made if you borrow one. the temple is the oldest in bali and is quite lovely... to get a picture with the gate, you need to stand in line and it’s a loooong line so be prepared to wait for that perfect instagram pic! they have a guy taking the photos to speed things along, however there is no water - it’s just a mirror used to reflect.	2
530	we got to uluwatu having paid 300,000rps for round trip in taxi from nusa dua, and immediately a local guide wanted to help us. he said he would protect us from monkeys and i was happy about that. he was definitely worth the 100,000rps. the monkeys kept a respectful distance from us whilst groups (without local guides) in front of us and behind had their shoes stolen by the monkeys. our guide said early in the month a tourist had his bag taken by the monkeys and thrown over the cliff- passports and all!!! our guide was very knowledgable and gave us a great insight into the temple.	8
531	an absolutely stunning and gorgeous temple situated on a beautiful cliff top scenery, ideal for sunset photos. you need to visit this temple if you come to bali and try not to miss the firedance.	2
532	every trip to bali, i always make a trip to tanah lot to get blessed and enjoy the peace. pat the sacred snake, and to stroll through the gardens before an amazing sunset. it's an amazing and majestic place	18
533	i went to this temple early in the morning. got on my bike at 7am from kuta and i was there before 8am. entrance fee is 20k and morning is the best time for taking pictures. the temple is just superbly picturesque and i recommend after visiting the temple itself; definitely walk all the way to the north (turn right) and then all the way to the south. they both offer fantastic views of the temple and the ocean and the cliffs. i was stupid enough to put my camera on timer and take a picture with monkeys. right after the shot; a naughty one stole my camera and even managed to take out the battery. he wouldnt give the camera back even after three monks came to my help and tried to seduce him with offerings of many kinds. it took them almost 45 minutes to finally retrieve my camera and although i dont think its waterproof anymore; but it was a very fun experience. however i dont think you want that same kind of experience so keep your belongings close to you. but the monkeys are not too dangerous as some people say. if you hold your stuff tight; they cant be bothered to jump at you. one other recommendation for sure: after coming out of the temple turn left towards the beach. right after the parking exit. go all the way (5-10 minutes with a bike) and park your bike at the end of the road. go down a few stairs and you will find yourself in a surprise party by the ocean and the rocks. its a surfer village but for me as a non surfer it was very pleasant to visit. it will only cost you the parking fee for your bike; 3k.	14
534	the temple itself is nice, but view from the temple is the breathtaking one. like another reviewer commented previously, make sure you catch the glimpse of sunset from this place (and tanah lot). monkeys in the temple are very smart and can be aggressive in trying to steal your stuff. you can bring some fruits from your hotel or purchase it from outside the temple. if you have a driver with you, invite your driver to walk in there with you. our driver was able to protect us from the monkeys and even managed to bribe them so we could take pictures with them.	14
535	this place is truly awesome; amongst the most beautiful and amazing sights i've seen the world over. the cliffs just out into the sea and catch some pretty heavy waves which come crashing over and sending up huge clouds of spray. and whilst the crowds of chinese and japanese tourists mass around the parts closer to the coach park and pose away it's easy to get further out onto the peninsula where they don't bother walking and finding some much more isolated spots. and unusually for bali it's actually free to come here! highly recommended.	2
536	basically it is very spectacular garden with fountains, pools, fishes, ancient statues, etc. we enjoyed it very much. if you have your swimming shorts with you, you can have a quick swim in one of the pools (for an extra fee). it is not as crowded as other temples around bali, so you can spend a quite relaxed time here. recommended stop.	2
537	it has a breath-taking view. worth a visit. just make sure that you visit the place when the temple is open, when we had visited the place, we couldn't visit the temple then.	4
538	the view was beautiful overlooking the cliff and sea, and another side is the mountains covered with red flowers. we stayed to watch the kecak dance. as it was cloudy on that day, we missed the beautiful sunset. towards the end of the show, it started to rain and everybody are rushing to the exit, no staff to guide and is abit chaotic. beware of naughty monkeys, don't wear sunglasses and take care of your belongings. our guide's slippers were snatched away by them.	13
539	amazing gardens and clean beach and full of life and activity, but not overwhelming as some parts of bali can be. a great place to stay.	2
540	incredible views to be seen at this location, right along the clifftop. just don't go with the expectation of wandering around the temple, as it's not open to the public. it's still a worthy visit tho, just for the incredible views and the gorgeous sunset. if you're planning on taking in the fire dance during a visit here be sure to bring something soft to sit on (blanket, sweater) and be prepared to be fairly uncomfortable for an hour or so, as the seating is just steps.	13
541	this place could be a very nice one, if it would be possible to enter the temple, if it wasn´t so crowded, if they hadn´t a chaotic parking management, if they had a suitable signing, if….	4
542	beautiful temple with lake and mountain nearby offers a great scenic view. must visit in bali tour for few hours	2
543	fantastic as usual but this time we took our grandkids. they loved it!!! don't try taking a pram if u want to do the area where there a a lot of steps. just ask any staff member as they are so helpful. pram was great otherwise. take your own sarong to bali as it saves a lot of bother re hiring one. you always need one for temples. however, for monkey temple you don't. the area we went into the other times we visited where all the monuments are was closed but if open you definitely need one.	2
544	we went to uluwatu with a private driver, and loved it. got a sarong to where on the tour, where we also had our own guide. some unlucky people have lost there glasses, thongs etc, but we were ok. got some bananas and our guide showed us how to feed the monkeys safely. my partner and i ended up with one monkey claiming both of us as a seat, while about 15 or so tourists took photos. the walk along the cliff was beautiful, and well worth the drive there.	8
545	if you want to stay in the southern bali and would like to see something different from the hustle and bustle kuta, leave for uluwatu at once. uluwatu resembles a typical balinese temple that you could see anywhere else in bali. however, what is special about this place is the scenic location and breathtaking view, which will make your heart skip a beat. i can't help feeling overwhelmed looking at the beautiful indian ocean with its crystal blue sea which matches so well with the equally clean blue sky. it is a beautiful picture that all of us tourists just stood there starstruck. there are 3 temples in total which stands proudly on top of the three cliffs. you can climb up near the temple for a better view but beware of the monkeys! they are very familiarized with the tourists and won't hesitate juggle with you if they know you have food. if possible, visit uluwatu at sunset. it is amazing!	8
546	such a disappointment after finally making our way there after four visits to bali! yes the temple is special and it is interesting to watch how the ocean tides impact on visitors, but the commercial aspect of the place overtook the significance. we were lucky to be there during a spiritual time so observing locals in traditional dress was a treat. not sure it is worth the trek if you are down in nusa dua or kuta area.	2
547	spent a lovely afternoon wandering the grounds of this temple. there is much to do whilst there; restaurants, shopping etc. and i might add, some of the best prices we came across. we were not able to enter the temple itself as the tide was in but took lots of photos. there are professional photographers available there also. be prepared to encounter 100's of tourists whilst here and if you stay for sunset, a traffic jam on the way out. definitely worth a visit, sunset is meant to be the best time.	4
548	most disappointing part of a visit to this ancient temple is that you are not allowed inside. otherwise, good view of cliffs and sea. traditional dance in the evening is a delight.	13
549	we had our driver bring us there. the temple are itself is fantastic. the view and the sea. perfect. there are some small attractions like the snake charmer or the spring water under the temple. but overall we spend 2 hours just at the beach and taking pictures before we went up to do some shopping and food. the telekung (muslim ladies worship garment) were super cheap and other souvenirs too. we tried local food too.	4
550	we visited uluwatu temple on our last day, right before we headed to the airport, since this was our last day we were indecisive whether we should go, i'm so glad we did! out of all places we visited in bali, i liked uluwatu most! the temple itself is not very spectacular, but the whole area is absolutely breathtaking! gorgeous views, colorful flowers everywhere around - absolutely stunning. a must see when in bali.	8
551	we really enjoyed this temple. they provide a sarong upon entry, required to wear, so if u don't have one no worries. this should be called the temple of the monkeys. they are everywhere and extremely crafty. please listen to your guide, other reviewers or this one. do not wear your expensive shades, bb caps, take great care with your cellphones and cams. the monkeys will snatch them in the blink of an eye and if not given sweets very quickly, will smash them. we saw one cell and three glasses grabbed and only one monkey received his candy quick enough and the gentleman got his glasses back, no one else did. one a positive note, it is so beautiful and wonderful to see. amazing views several hundred feet down to the indian ocean, the grounds and the temple, for photos only. no actual access to temple. is supposedly the best sunset view on bali. we left before as we learned from locals that as soon as the sunsets, the traffic home is bad. it is a nice trek from one side to the other. very peaceful in some areas and packed with sightseers and monkeys in others. very worth it in our opinion and great pics to share back home. if you must use glasses to see, please be cautious. the looks on the unlucky people's faces made us sad for them. wish we could submit more than 3 pics of this amazing place. we took around 100.	2
552	after reading various reviews i was a little unsure on what to expect. the sanctuary is split in two with the smaller temple very picturesque and a lovely walk. worth a visit!	4
553	this temple will surprise you with its amazing sea view. i will never forget the sound of waves crashing the shore right beneath the temple. the view simply took my breath away. while being here, don't miss the kecak dance during sunset. temple entrance ticket and kecak dance ticket are paid separately. for kecak, i paid about 10 bucks per person. a must visit.	13
554	if you wanna see the ocean at its grandeur this is one place you should not miss. located at the south-west tip of bali, uluwatu temple is tourist favorite for viewing the setting sun in the great indian ocean. the view from the cliff is mesmerizing as one can see the endless waves and ocean from the top. the white waves below with roaring sound will make you forget time. the temple also host the famous kecak dance (a balinese form of ramayana) for an entry fee of idr 100,000/person. if you have time do experience that. overall a peaceful place...but beware of the monkey..they come silently and take away your stuffs (yes..i was a victim of their prank).	8
555	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.	4
556	it's a nice morning walk among monkeys in a very green surrounding. the forest is serene if u take out the tons of monkeys wandering around. the monkeys here are well behaved not like in uluwatu. i would highly recommend the wooden walkway path, which was absolutely beautiful. and for those that are lazy, the holy water/spring temple is a must, situated among banyan trees, it's like a scene from tomb raider.	8
557	ticket per pax is 100k idr and show last for 1hour. for those who never watch before , i can probably describe the show in words for you guys. entire 1 hour show there are total of 48 men making the \cak\ sounds all the way and i find it very annoying and a few dancers dance at the middle of the stage . thats all of it. the most terrible part is , show end at 7pm we back in kuta town at 9.30pm because of the traffic. so guys , if you guys have better itinerary or places to visit , you may just skip this place	13
558	this is without a doubt a very beautiful temple although it has lost most of its authentic congeniality. if you want to see a temple near a lake that still has its spiritual dignity you should go to lake tamblingan.	4
559	i like all temples around bali and can't say which one i prefer to see again, but always recommend uluwatu to my friends who visit bali. you have to see this balinese architecture and to feel this energy when you watch ocean and long waves from the temple on the hill.	8
560	nice place with a lot of history. one of the top spots to visit in bali. nice spot for pictures. unfortunately, a lot of visitors - go in the early morning to avoid the crowds.	2
561	visited the temple with friends and over all it was a nice experience, from the long trip to get there to the beautiful view of the temple at the lake.	4
562	as a professions photographer i was stoked for this stop, i had seen so many pictures and this place looked magical and visually stunning. when we arrived it was just disappointing. despite the fact it was foggy and rainy when we got there the temple on the water itself was small and unimpressive. the architecture around the rest of the temple was more interesting. tanah lot, monkey forest and the water temple were way more interesting. i'd recommend skipping this one unless you have a lot of time on the island to spare for exploring	4
563	if you have a chance to bali this is the place that you cannot miss. uluwatu means the end which may refer to the characteristic of the temple that is the end of the hill. the inner part of the temple is allowed for the balinese who want to worship to the god and not allowed the traveller to go inside, by the way, the most attractive point is the view of the sea and wave that is very very beautiful. however, there is some warning about the monkey that may stole your accessories but i did have problem with that. personally, sun set at tanha lot is more beautiful.	8
564	although the journey to get there is quite tiring, due to the road uphill and heavy rain. but when it gets there can see a vast lake, cold dew. the temple is located on the lake, very special with a unique building. me and wife was very happy to visit ulundanu temple.	30
565	very scenic... staff nearby will bring you drinks, drinks coolers, and so on. the souvenir hawkers stopped trying to sell me stuff when i spoke indonesian with them, and were really cool people. a really nice vibe in general.	2
566	a really beautiful temple right on the top of the cliffs. stacks of photo opportunities, well priced admission, just be aware if a 'tour guide' tag along as they charged us more than the 4 of our admission prices at the end.	4
567	today i was planned to watch kecak dance at uluwatu. it was my 2nd time here, and some kind of must-visit attraction for me. but when i arrived there, bought a ticket to enter the temple and ticket to watch the dance, i was up set. there were too many, way too many ppl that the place could accommodate. even some of the audience have to sit on the floor near the dancer. the crew keep pushing ppl to came in, even tough its already full. and it came out, the dancer has so little place to do the dance, and ppl keep walking around the dancer. and surely, i couldn’t enjoy the show. its a sad thing for me because it was one of my must-destination show every time i went to bali. a suggestion for the crew, i guess it best for limiting the ticket so we could enjoy the show without any intrusion and ppl could sit at the proper seat.	8
568	tanah lot is a beautiful temple set at the edge of water. during high tides, the temple gets cut off from the main access, so would recommend checking the tide timings before heading out. though the main temple is off limits for tourists, it is quite nice to walk around and even get your feet wet in the water if you desire. apart from the temple, there is a park with a path along the cliff edge, which provides some good views. there's also a touristy market between the parking and the temple. only drawback is how crowded it gets in the evenings.	17
569	during our recent visit to bali one day we went to this temple to see the same and offer our gratitude. the temple is very good and must see for tourists	2
570	unfortunately the day was a little bit rainy and cloudy as we went to see pura lempuyang but regardless of it, the view between \the gates to heaven\ was breathtaking. first we accidentally drove past the first temple where the gates and the iconical three staircases are, as we were travelling without a guide so the temple can be a bit hard to find - especially when there is no tourist groups showing the location.	28
571	it's a shame that we saw the temple when the tide was high and the sea was quite rough so we weren't able to get too close. even so it is still a beautiful site at sunset! there is a fee of about £4 each to get in. it's then a short walk down to the sea front from the shops at the entrance - the walk is really nice and the sea views are beautiful. we did it as a bit of a whistle stop tour and we only just made it for sunset! i would definitely recommend spending a bit more time to take in the amazing scenery. not too much else to do but definitely worth a visit if you want to see a slightly different temple to those in ubud.	4
572	it took us around 2 hours to reach a 40km distance. the traffic was intense. all the chaos on the road was testing the highest level of our patience, we were thinking of turning back to kuta, a decision we almost took but finally we made it on time. once we reached there i instantly knew what a mistake it would have been if we have not come here. the beauty of the sun setting behind the tanah lot temple is something that cannot be described in words, one has to see it to understand the true beauty of this. we were mesmerized. sat there and gazed through the horizon thinking how could something be so beautiful.	17
573	a must see place if visiting bali it gets hot in afternoon so chose time accordingly also see the tides as the temple is in the ocean !!! stunning views and a photogenic place	2
574	this place is very spiritual and beautiful. there a quite a few steps at the start, and then you walk up a massive hill to get to the start of the 1700 steps. take lots of water and have some comfy shoes on. we happened to be there on the day of a local ceremony so it seemed to enhance the spirituality of the place. you do pay a donation to go into the temple and if you don't have a sarong, these are available to hire aas well	4
575	it was a 2 hours ride to tanah lot but it is worth it. the view at the seaside was beautiful. there was a temple there but it was high tide, no one can get across. the strong waves kept rushing in and out. before walking to the seaside. there are alot of shops, somewhat selling almost the same thing.	17
576	this is a good experience to visit tanah lot temple . place is nice and sun down is superb . if you didn't try before , please come to experience it. this is a a good memory . the place is convenience to walk around as already been well renovate . around the rocks tanah lot temple has been well maintained. come and visit and you will know.	17
577	the temple is beatiful and the whole view it brethtaking...great place to visit,but be carefully with the monkeys they take your water bottle if they see it...	14
578	the temple has a cliff top trail with picturesque views of the ocean and surrounding cliff tops. arrive early to avoid the crowds and be mindful of your belongings as there are many wild monkeys around that tend to snatch tourists bags.	14
579	we went to uluwatu temple from nusa dua which took 45 mins. before reaching there, our regular driver/guide/friend brought us for a drink at single fin, which is a cafe perched ontop of a cliff overlooking the sea and the surfers in the water. awesome! uluwatu temple is right around the corner. we came around noon and did not catch the kecak performance which i understand was very powerful but crowded with tourists. tip#1 : keep your sunglasses, glasses, hats/caps, plastic bags, etc. the monkeys are notorious to steal and will only return when food is barter by the groundsman. tip#2 : instead of going straight up the temple, make a right after giving your ticket and there's a path and within 2 mins, this will take you to the edge of the cliff. this place is on the other side of the temple (away from the kecak amphitheatre). i think the view here is more awesome (and closer to the edge) than from the temple. you still can walk back to the temple. according to our guide, there are 6th cliffside temples. i have visited tanah lot and its beautiful cliffs / coast, and i rate tanah lot's view much better. but still, a great view where ocean meets cliff.	8
580	this temple on lake bratan is dedicated to the lake and the water goddess dewi danu, without whom there is no water to feed the irrigation systems that sustain the rice crops of the island, hence her importance. the lake formed in the caldera of an extinct volcano and you can see this forming a dramatic 360deg ridge surrounding the lake. the setting of this place is stunning and the beauty of the temple incomparable. a must see visit on the way north or if you’re nearby.	30
581	very picturesque temple and surroundings but beware the hordes of zombie-like tourists wading through it's bathing pool reminiscing scenes from an indian jones flick! much preferred it to besakih - the mother temple, mind.	4
582	we arrived here with our driver as part of a half day tour, yes it was busy as we stayed for the kecak dance which i would recommend, but not too overcrowded. the kecak dance is a traditional dance performance in part of the temple that overlooks the ocean and on sunset it is stunning. there are quite a few steps but with the beautiful setting you hardly notice, just take plenty of water, its hot!	13
583	i was a solo traveler riding a scooter from kuta. i spent one night in uluwatu at blue point bay villa and spa just to visit pura luhur uluwatu and to watch the kecak dance. its about 2-3 km from the temple.well the view from the cliff was amazing. you need to pay for the entry and to get the sarung at the counter before get in the temple compound. pack of tourists lining up as early as 5 pm to buy ticket for kecak dance (100000idr for foreigner). they provided an article explaining the show episodes and stories.than i went into the arena as i read from the previous visitor reviews that the arena will be packed soon and there will be no comfortable sitting place. while waiting till the show start after 6pm, tourists start clogging up the arena in no time. as the sun start to set the show started.the staff will accomodate as much viewers as they can the tourists who arrived late will sit besides the dancers on the stage/floor or on the plastic chairs provided. the show itself was unique and cultural. i enjoyed myself and it worth the struggle.	8
584	arrived in the afternoon around 16:00. the temple of uluwatu is located at the top of cliff bank, 100 meters above ocean. did not see many monkey´s in the daylight but when we arrived to kecak dance they started to show up. the kecak was grate also, more like a theater. sunset is beautiful mixed with the dance. we left around 21:00 and saw many monkeys walking to the start point.	8
585	this is a must see! stunning views! combine this visit with a visit to the tanah lot temple. you will get some great photos!	17
586	this is our 2nd day tour brought there by dika from bali good drivers. the view of the waves was magnificent and clear to the bottom. highly recommended.	2
587	we found this temple the most beautiful from all other temples. we absolutely loved the views and the landscape. at the same time it was very crowded and there was rubbish all around. mostly because noone really cleans the forest and there are many monkeys, who love to steal visitors' belongings and then throw them wherever. the disturbing part was that one of the park attendants in order to return the phone of one of the visitors was throwing several packages of vegetables packed in plastic bags at the monkey. you may only guess, where all that plastic appears later on. very irresponsible towards the nature. this was totally contradictory to the balinese culture, where they say that the people are supposed to live in peace and respect towards the nature.	2
588	seeing the ocean from up above, it's like.. we're human, are only a small being. it was a very wonderful view, even though nothing special from the temple, but it worth enough to see the ocean from uluwatu. best time to come is around 5-5.30pm, to wait the sunset and to see the famous kecak dance (start on 6pm). the ticket is around 100rb for domestic or 10usd for foreigners. beware for the monkey also, avoid using a bling bling accessories. kids also can fed them, you can buy peanuts near the entrance gate. oh ya, hide the peanut plastic bag into your bag, because if the monkeys see the peanut , they will catch over you to grab it. soo, take a small amount of peanut out from your bag, and fed them.	8
589	the temple location was fantastic but the temple itself was so-so 'coz we unfortunately couldn't go inside. anyway, there's only one thing i don't like here was crazy monkey! too many crazy monkey s here were ready to take your stuff no matter how much your stuff was,(they tried to take my $1 sandal.t^t) so watch out and make sure that you're ready to fight with the monkeys. hahahaha	14
590	we visited this place primarily to catch the sunset and the \white cliffs of dover\. unfortunately, we visited during the time when it was the indonesian school holidays and the raya holidays. hence, the roads were jammed. because the tourists (ie ourselves) had to also contend & jostle with indonesians the only path to the attraction was laced with cars which inched it's way to the entrance. we took a decision to walk & run from our private transport to the entrance. it was so packed that the \sarongs\ were all taken up. but the sunset was breath-taking .. or almost breath taking. almost ,, because our experience was marred by the (what i call) \cleverly-trained\ monkey snatchers. strangely there were no monkeys while watching the sunset. the moment the sun \setted\, the monkeys came out in droves. after deftly snatchiing a pair of spectacles someone will offer to take the item back from the monkeys .. in return for a fee. back to the attraction. the cliffs were a great work of nature .. meticulously carved. the sunset was good. i would recommend to get there earlier, say 3pm. yhis way, you get to appreciate the full sight of the cliffs, the rockfaces with enough time to spare .. then select a spot to \park yourself\ & get ready for the sunset. for \sunset-lovers\ .. this is a \must-see\ place. we will be back .. and more prepared the next time.	2
591	overall it was a nice experience. the price was a bit much at 6$ canadian. also we had to walk through streets of markets before we got near the temple. the walk around the temple grouds was very beautiful.! the view of the water and the temple was excellent. only issues was it was very busy and hard to make our way around other tourists to take a photo. we couldn't go into any temples and we had to do a washing ritual (with a donation) before going up ~10 steps of the temple then having to turn around. it was a nice trip all around.	4
592	the best attraction to view the sunset from. if you reach early before the tide sets in, you can go to the temple situated on a rock. because of the popularity of the place it gets very crowded and that can be annoying. definitely a must visit in bali.	2
593	we were not allowed inside the main temple even though we are hindus. however the temple complex location is extremely beautiful being built on a high cliff	4
594	beautiful balinese temple in an amazing setting. surrounded by sea. a good spot to click pictures. must visit the sunset and dance in the temple.	2
595	beautiful floating temple in lake bratan. the temple compound is situated by the shoreline of lake bratan. this temple is a popular sightseeing destination in bali and it gets quite crowded with tourists so make sure to reach there by early morning.	2
596	monkeys are a lot more chilled out here than at uluwatu! very nice little walk through scenic forest, got right up close to mama with her baby. monkeys are very relaxed and will go for a nap right in front of you, this is a nice unique thing to do in beautiful ubud	8
597	the temple is the main attraction and better to see and photo at low tide. the sunset is stunning and the gardens re beautiful. unfortunately is has become very commercial with heaps of stalls to buy bali things from before you get to the temple. other than that is a good sight seeing attraction.	2
598	i̇ts one of the most important and great temple in bali..everyone must see and visit..i̇t have a guite but mistic atmosphere..	2
599	the uluwatu temple is spread out with superb views in any direction and in quiet and serene setting. a walk down to the temple you see the monkeys and then steps to get to the place of meditation. a popular place so visit in the morning and you can only enter if you wear a sarong - men included. if visiting in the afternoon is gets very hot so take plenty of water. you can also tie the visit in with the kecak ramayana and fire dance starting at 6pm.	8
600	it is crowded but being one of the sights to go to when in bali, cant complain i just hope some of the tourist respect this religious place. kecak dance is a must see. this temple on the cliff is really place to see when in bali	2
601	every guide i've looked at highlighted tanah lot at sunset as a must-see. without doubt, it is a great sight and looks lovely with the temple in the ocean. however, going around sunset is pure craziness. bus loads full of guided tours with hundreds of people plus their guides yelling through their intercoms. if you want to feel any of the spirituality of the place, it is certainly lost. there basically is no free spot left. also keep in mind that from where visitors are allowed, the sunset is not setting behind the temple but behind the rock to the right. still a very beautiful sight, but just to manage expectations. and you can see the sun setting behind rocks in other beautiful locations but don't have to share it with half of bali's tourists. we've just been once, so i obviously don't know how it is at other times, but i'd certainly visit earlier in the day and have a beautiful sunset in a calmer atmosphere.	18
602	breathe taking views, lots to see and listen too. the traditional 'kecak fire dance' was very nice to watch. a truly memorable experience. watch out for the cheeky monkeys and don't make eye contact otherwise, apart from that, it's a fun activity.	13
603	i had very often come to this temple with my clients,very beautiful temple on the cliff, and also you can watch kecak dances and see the sunset too.	13
604	the amazing pura ulu watu temple built on the top of a 70-meter cliff above the blue waters of the indian ocean. it is a beautiful place. standing in front of the temple and looking at the fall of the cliff, with the endless space of the ocean in front of you and the green tropical jungle behind you, you feel that you are on the edge of the earth. it's worth coming late in the afternoon. watch out for the monkeys that revolve along the cliff and are just waiting to steal something.the temple is dedicated to the spirit of the sea. it is worth spending time there. amazing views.	8
605	a lovely temple on top and by the cliff edge. there are steps along the cliff top to get to the temple! a small forest around the temple has monkeys. was told to be careful as the monkeys can and do snatch things from you! great view along the cliff edge!	14
606	we went there in the evening with the intention of catching the sun setting over the horizon and we were not disappointed. the views were really nice. to top it off, a monkey decided to come see what we were doing and decided to survey us as we were trying to watch the setting sun. we were unable to catch the fire dance due to paucity of time but will surely see it next time we are in bali..	2
607	a beautiful temple, totally overrun by people selling you things. it was non-stop. combined with the general busyness of the temple and it became hard to appreciate the place. it’s a bit of a drive to get there too. i know this is on the ‘must do’ list in bali, but we found much better temples to visit in our travels (as pretty as this one is).	2
608	beautiful temple on the lake, the weather can change anytimes there and mostly rain. i love the view and the nature. it take about 2 hours from legian to this temple, all the way you will see nice view and nice air	4
609	my impression about bali was that of a small island with beautiful beaches and temples, until my visit to the place. i would say bali is way more than just that. it is really one place where you can see how people have preserved the culture with pride and that culture and the people will make the most of your trip. combine this with the most beautiful temples in the world, most beautiful beaches in the world, and the hospitality and the bear. bali makes you emotional about the place. the relaxing spa music and refreshing bali massage takes you to a different world. tanah lot - a temple on sea shore, completely out of the world. temple on a cliff next to sea where ramayana is enacted. nusa dua, ubud, kuta... and the list goes on. a week is definitely not enough to do justice. we missed one mountain as it was about to erupt. we will come again to bali not just to see what we missed but also to relive what we saw. bali is truly one of its kind.	2
610	the temple itself we did not find, due to we got amazed on everything we saw there. nice sea blue water view, cliffs and powerful waves just watch out for sunglasses and other accessories, because the monkeys enjoy to take it away from you.	14
611	if you enjoy vast vistas and incredible feats of building then this temple will amaaze you!! we came for a few hours at the end of may and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful walks and intricate hindu temple decoration. the tour guide was very affordable at £5 (100,000 idr) and snap happy too, capturing the best angles of the gorgeous setting. he was extremely knowledgeable on the temple and its surroundings and took care of us well. the macaques were brave and cheeky but he advised us accordingly and we had no trouble from them. hint: don't try to feed them or wear large hats or expensive sunglasses or wave around expensive/bulky cameras as these do catch their eye and make them want it!! at this time, they were developing a 'monkey play area' and another resting area to encourage more visitors. hopefully i'll be finished by the time any of you go there! we would highly recommend visiting here and next time we would recommend wearing trainers for the walking and steps. thank you to the staff, we had a great time!	14
612	the scenery on top of the temple is beautiful! from the height you can see the entire sea and it's beautiful waves. such a beauty. come and visit with family and friends. it's amazing!	4
613	the location itself is nice but the temple is disappointing. there are much better temples in bali with much less tourists. you have to pay 30k idr plus parking fee (1k for motorbike) to go in. the monkeys are slightly more sneaky than in other places, they steal a lot here but the keepers can persuade them with bananas to give them back your belongings. keep away anything that can be easily pulled from you. you can not go inside the temple itself which was disappointing. good location to watch the sunset	2
614	what a place it is...amazing! uluwatu temple is present on huge cliff overlooking the dark blue sea. the view is breathtaking and can easily spend an hour or so just looking at the view and doing nothing else. the place hosts daily shows for the balinese traditional kecak dance. this is performed in an amphitheater with the background of the beautiful sea around the sunset time. it is best to collect the tickets as early as possible as the seats are limited and there is only one show performed every evening. lovely view and beautiful kecak dance makes it a special place and a must visit!	8
615	first things first. it sounds like a temple but you actually cannot go inside the temple. this is true for mostly all temples in bali. you can visit the premises and enjoy the architecture from outside. the uluwatu temple is also such an example. the location is exemplary. look around and enjoy. i also enjoyed the kecak dance but it could've been shorter. go for it!	2
616	it was beautiful place. when i saw kecak dance,i felt balinese have really good harmony with each other!!	2
617	must see!!! gorgeous temple with beautiful lake & mountains around. go there when its not overcast to enjoy the view. this is one of the most photographed spots in bali. don't miss it	2
618	this place is a must visit for everyone going to bali. go there in the evening. it will be a little crowded but that doesnt matter.	2
619	tanah lot temple is perhaps the most visited site of bali by foreign tourists. after paying the entrance fees when i entered the temple premises i came across various shops selling different sort of stuff, however a walk along ahead towards the beach brings you closer to this 15th century heritage temple amidst the sea. there's a lot of history around the temple but then i am sure it makes more sense to pay a visit and enjoy it for yourself. as for me i had a very tough time keeping my head straight in the hot sun of october. i just took a view, took some customary snaps and then left the place in a jiffy before i could faint.	18
620	entry is relatively expensive by indonesian standards (30k rp pp). if you like to have a laugh at someone elses expensive (middle aged western woman becoming hysterical when a monkey climbs over her to get at a banana) this place is for you. otherwise better things to do elsewhere!	2
621	you really can't tell from photos. this coastal landscape where the temple is set is absolutely awe inspiring and magical. the only thing i regret is that we weren't there for longer. normally this is organised as an afternoon tour. my advice is go at least one hour earlier than whenever the tour guide suggests, so that you can walk along the cliffside promenade that leads to the temple and really have the chance to soak up this sublime view. if i go again that's what i'll do. the kecuk dancing was very enjoyable. the costumes were utterly fabulous. i haven't seen it elsewhere in bali to compare. but the setting probably makes all the difference from seeing it anywhere else on the island. if you are at the temple at sunset, go.	2
622	this is a stunning area in bali. it is an easy walk for anyone that finds difficulty in walking. not too many tourists on the day we went.	2
623	if you want a unique and cultural from bali, this is a great place, they have a bali statue and great show of kecak dance, and also the sunset from this area is magnificent, but if you want to watch a kecak dance show you have to get more money for the ticket, they start the show at 18:00 wit, so you must prepared before that because is always full	2
624	this temple is really unique due to it's location and the tide's, they provide a nice scenary for for taking pictures. be sure to bring suncream and try to enjoy to temple over a longer time period.	4
625	our wonderful driver nyoman brought us there and it was beautiful, and as iconic to bali as it gets. we didn't spend a long time there as we were with a toddler but the view from above and afar was good enough for us..definitely not stroller friendly place (thankfully we were using a baby carrier), but having said that we did see a baby stroller right at the bottom next to the shoreline..	2
626	i didn't have expectations here as my visit was part of a conference. but.... wow the views are stunning. if you are a photographer you have to go. we attended the temple dance, it was excellent, entertaining and beautiful with the back drop of the sun setting.	13
627	my first time in bali is very impressed the endless view of the indian ocean and the blue sea wave runs thru the cliff really love the moment. one more thing please be aware of cute and funny monkeys who run around the temple to grab some small little things from you like sunglasses or thongs	2
628	- me and my wife decided to book a full day tour which covers tanah lot sunset tour. - our tour begins in the morning with hotel pickup by private vehicle and after covering various attraction we reached here in the early evening. - tanah lot temple is 1 hr 15 min drive from kuta. - this place is famous for sunset and a rock formation just off the coast of bali, where a temple sits on the rocks. - we had never seen anything like this before. we loved every minute we were here. - one more important thing that you cannot enter the temple grounds but the panoramic views and cultural offerings are highlights to enjoy. - for the balinese people, it is one of the most sacred of all the island's sea temples so please manitain that sacredness. - walk to the right end of the temple to enjoy a great view of the headlands - in the end we stopped at one of the clifftop restaurant here and while enjoying your meal some friendly cats will come to meet you at the cafe's tables. - there are lots of local shops at the main entrance of the temple. - you will get coconut seller inside the premises which is a must try. - despite being soo commercialized and crowded this should surely be on everyones list. so glad we decided to visit here... ticket: 30,000 idr opening hours: 07:00 – 19:00 location: the temple is located in the beraban village of the tabanan regency, an approximate 20km northwest of kuta.	18
629	ulawatu temple s built at the edge of a 70 meter high cliff or rock projecting into the sea.you can see the temple on the top of th clif and beautiful turquoise waters at the ocean below. better visit round 3 pm as it take time to visit entire temple complex. you can view beautiful sunset from here and kecak dance performance based on the ramayana story is performed daily in uluwatu temple at every 6pm on thesunset cliff-side. the ticket costs 100000 inr for this and the show can be extremely crowded sometimes. the performance which is outdoors also shows the beautiful sunset at the background.	8
630	known as the gateway to heaven, lempuyang offers beautiful views! the ride up the mountain to get to the temple is pretty crazy though (steep, narrow roads with fast drivers), but totally worth it. before entering, both men and women have to wear a sarong around their hips, and women have to cover up exposed shoulders with a scarf (all of these provided can be obtained at the entrance). they also ask you to make a donation before entering. the main photo attraction is the gateway. people line up to take pictures, and if you are lucky and the weather permits, you can take an awesome shot with mt. agung in the background. when my husband and i visited, there were two men who acted as the photographers. we lined up, and when it was our turn, we gave them our phones/cameras to take our pics. they provide a bit of direction to take pics (i.e. ext pose!\ and \jumping picture!\), but they do it mostly to keep the line wait times manageable. it was also understood that we had to give them a small donation for their services, but let me tell you -- our pictures came out beautifully, particularly because of a camera trick they use to create a mirrored image. all in all, lempuyang is a must-see place to visit in bali, especially if you are looking to get a really beautiful picture.	28
631	the temple is nice to visit but it's very touristy. the venue overlooking the cliffs is beautiful. basically you arrive at 5 pm. visit temple for about 45 mins and then there is an amphitheater where they have a local \kesha\ dance. it's nice but does not seem authentic. it's too staged.	13
632	we went there on last day of our tour in bali. our purpose is to visit this temple and also witness the famous kechak dance.located at south western tip of bali peninsula, it's a n hour's drive kuta area provided there is no traffic jam. the temple in part of chain on shore temples in bali atop unevenly shaped cliffs hanging into indian ocean.we enter the area in a beautifully carved arch flanked by ganesha statues and well laid coral brick wall. it was crowded as most of the people visit this place for sunset view and also witness customary kechak dance ( story of ramayana ) narrated beautifully by the experienced artists accompanied by local drums. there separate tickets for temple and for dance program. it's an enchanting and memorable evening and will cherished by us for rest of our lives.	2
633	well worth a visit really nice temple on the water. beautifully maintained gardens ceremonies going on plenty to see.	4
634	we went there around 4pm ish. took our time to walk to the temple while enjoying the view of it. took photos full of memory card but have to admit the beauty of this place can't be captured by photo. by 5.30 we took seat in the open gallery for kecak dance show (costs idr 100,000) as time passed the gallery was getting full. so it is good idea to get here early enjoy the walk and then take seat early with a good view. the sunset was amazing and the dance show was entertaining. would strongly recommend. after the show you can have dinner at jimbaran.	13
635	if you are into pictures, well, it could be bit disappointing. the place is beautiful, opens to the sea, so great view. sunset was beautiful. yet, you don't really see the temple from up there. if you go during sunset, you can buy ticket for the dance ($10). monkeys are everywhere, and bit bigger and wild, so do not tease them:) overall it was a beautiful place, but there are way nicer temples in bali.	2
636	its very good place to view of indian ocean and clifs. you can not enter into temple but outside view is wow. monkey are dangerous broken our sun glasses and stole other visitors shoes. sunset is must see place, come bit an hour early before sun set so can walk around. note walking require physically activity not good for young children and elderly.	14
637	i loved visiting this temple beside the sea. our guide gave us lots of information about this unique temple which is located on top of a ± 300m2 rock which is separated from the main land. during high tide it would seem as though this rock floats on the sea surface. the grounds are quite beautiful as were the many balinese people all dressed in there beautiful clothes to pray. tanah lot temple can be reached directly on foot at low tide. many tourists take advantage of the location of tanah lot to capture the sunset moment. apparantly at low tide, on some rock loopholes around tanah lot temple there are some snakes with black and white stripes skin and purified by local people. balinese believe that the snakes belonged to the god and acts as a guardian of tanah lot temple. just below the tanah lot temple are freshwater springs and it appear at low tide.we did not see any snakes but must admit did not look very long as i don't like snakes and just enjoyed the sea and listening to the tides. as a tourist destination, the tanah lot temple has very good facilities and infrastructure. we enjoyed a meal at a restaurant and there is also a buffet style restaurant which looked plentiful and good value too. there are some art shops that offer a variety of bali souvenirs also available along the main road to the location of tanah lot. in order to provide additional entertainment for the tourists, some attractions are shown by the local people. among them are: kecak dance performance at evening, large snakes (non venomous snake species) and bats that can be used to take pictures and capture the moment at this place. i was intrigued watching the blessings ceremonies of local people and enjoyed the whole ambience of calmness and happiness and peacefulness away from the crowds.	18
638	the temple is on a cliff facing the ocean.. in the view you can watch the sunset, hear the waves breaking on the massive cliff and breathe in the fresh air. what not to love. the temple is peaceful and the views are stunning.	4
639	spent 2 hours at this temple enjoying the views and learning a little more about the history behind it. they have many market stalls which offered goods at very reasonable prices. it was quite busy the day we went and it rained but they give you complimentary umbrellas to shelter you from the rain and sun.	4
640	the view from this temple is breathtaking, this is a must go spot and u must see the blue ocean and white waves from the cliff to believe it! do not skip this!!	4
641	this temple has become famous among indonesian people since it was drawn on rupiah coins, there are no restrictions on clothes to enter	2
642	breathtaking sea views to the setting sun as you meander down the cliff-hugging pathway. walk to the end for the best views through groups of monkeys clambering on the walls and swinging in nearby trees. be warned - keep personal items like phones and sun/reading glasses and small bags of food secure. the monkeys will whip them from you in a second! they are not dangerous at all - but you need to keep alert. many tourists here, so can be hard to get a \clean\ photo - but really worth it. the temple itself provides a stunning silhouette, but was inaccessible to the public. loved this place.	14
643	the view points are photogenic however entry to temple is restricted. the temple is located at cliff so offers good place to view sunset.	4
644	went early morning as wasn't keen on the whole sunset thing. would rather be on beach with a beer watching it. monkeys where getting fed so they where not being too naughty but did see one women lose her glasses to them. great views and a pretty nice temple, glad i went before it got too hot and crowded. sarong's provided and about 20 or 30k entry fee	14
645	i have to rate tanah lot 5-star just because of its unique and wonderful appearance at any time of day in any weather conditions. i have looked at it many times over the past 40 years and it never fails to make me feel good inside. aesthetically, however, the appalling tourist development right up to the shoreline have ruined the tranquility and if you hate crowds (big crowds!) your enjoyment of the location might well be ruined too. so, get up really early, and as we did, arrive there at 08:00. at that time, the carparks were almost empty, the hundreds of shops were largely still closed, and the only other visitors we saw were indonesian. it was a misty overcast morning with a smattering of rain, and a big surf crashing along the shoreline. but just glorious! unless you love being with massive, noisy coach loads of package tourists, avoid a late afternoon/sunset visit at all costs	17
646	for a break on beach-bumming in uluwatu, this is a great time to spend some times, beautiful picture moments, chance to play with the monkeys	8
647	part of a day tour, mustika, our tour guide, and surya, our wonderful driver, of destination asia helped us visit this floating temple on the lake. as there was no high tide on lake beraton, we did not see the 'floating temple' effect. nevertheless, the mandir is an historic mandir to see on this beautiful lake. the landscape enhances the calmness and beauty of the mandir. however, try to visit early on a weekday as the area does get busy. the area is popular with both locals and tourists. mustika did a wonderful job explaining the significance of the temple and its history.	2
648	an experience to be taken. the sunset is beautiful. the temple cant be visited. the kecak dance is the attraction & should be seen. g8 costumes,dance, story telling. beware of the monkeys.	13
649	the temple itself is not worth the visit, as there are many better examples on bali. however this has got to be one of the best views on the island. it's a bit of a pain getting here, but worth going if you're visiting other spots nearby.	2
650	i thought that this temple was spectacular. the temple is set on a lake and itself and it's surrounds are so intricate and beautiful. there is a lot to take in as there is a garden to walk around as well with many different animal sculptures. no words can do a place like this justice.	4
651	this temple is one bali's most famous and always a beautiful place to watch the sunset, however i find the perfect time to come is early morning when the light is soft and shining beautifully on tanah lot, the surfers are out and the place far less crowded.	18
652	west facing cliff edge so excellent location to see the sunset. a few things to highlight / tips to avoid disappointment : - visiting at sunset time, this was the busiest tourist attraction that we visited across east java, bali and gili air. the crowds reduced the peaceful feeling one could attain for such a beautiful location - temple architectural design is not as elaborate / beautiful / extensive aesthetically, albeit location is of significance - temple main area inside is closed most of the times, other that festival and prayer times - if you buy sunset show tickets, make sure you get there in advance, so you can go grab sunset facing seats (first come first serve)... though don't forget, the sun will then be directly on your face till it goes down, which on a hot day can be too much, but the views of the sunset as a backdrop, with the ramayana / fire dance performance (idr 100k cash) in front of you, are breathtaking hope the detailed tips help you enjoy your visit even more.	2
653	its really amazing place to visit , the temple is set just on the clift facing to the indian ocean . entering the temple area we are invited to walk along the edge of the clift , to see an amazing view of the area . worth to visit but just be aware of some groups of noughty monkey .	14
654	uluwatu temple is beautiful, especially at sunset. watch out for the monkey's that love shiny things! a friend got his wallet with passport and cards taken away!	8
655	a beautiful temple on rocks approximately 60 mtrs from shore. where the monks go to worship. a lovely site v	4
656	the best place i found in bali to watch the sunset. i’d initially been a little put off from going by all the reviews about the aggressive monkeys, but i’m glad i went anyway. yes, the monkeys can be aggressive, but as long as you’re sensible and keep your eyes open you’ll be fine. they did manage to steal a few pairs of sunglasses from people that weren’t paying attention. it definitely shouldn’t stop you going to see one of the most beautiful sunsets around. if, like me, you’re primarily going to see the sunset get there for about 5. that will give you enough time to walk around the grounds, go up to the temple and find your spot for the sunset. if you don’t have a sarong, you can borrow them free of charge at the entrance.	2
657	as one of the most important temples in bali, it is magnificent. there are a lot of monkeys so watch out for your sunglasses and dont wear big shiny earrings!	2
658	our family got lucky and visited during low tide. we were able to capture amazing images on our walk-up & wading out to tanah lot temple itself. what an amazing experience to look out & see how nature and man's vision combined to form this landmark. would like to take more time but the tide was on its way in ... make sure you take photos from the first temple on your right as you enter as it provides perfect views of tanah lot, the swell and the beach. don't miss this on your trip !	17
659	a postcard perfect temple located on the shore of lake beratan. you can easily spend a good 45 minutes to 1 hour walking around and taking beautiful photos. you can also have some fun engaging in some lake activities (fishing, riding a speed boat or sail away in a swan pedal boat).	4
660	postcard perfect! too bad it was high tide and the temple areas near the beach were cordoned off for the safety of tourists. we had to view them from afar which was still an amazing experience. there were restos for that perfect viewing of sunsets - just choose where you want to eat and drink and then linger until the sun sets. as we entered the site, the vast vista was laid out beautifully before us and all we just needed to do was walk along the path for different views of the temples set by the sea. waters rushing and crashing to the shore was a spectacular display of nature. there were lots of stores selling arts and crafts for that last minute shopping for souvenirs. a cafe serving luwak coffee even had a couple of civets and a giant flying fox as pets - you can take pictures even without ordering anything. the best part was the gelato stand by the entrance - their rum raisin was so yummy i so loved it even if i'm not really a fan of ice creams.	4
661	this was deffinatly an experience. cost about $2 aud to get in and my small group paid $5 each for the tour guide. really glad we got a tour guide as the monkeys can be quite crazy! they started fighting and one even jumped on a friend from behind. but it was a good laugh. really enjoyed the magnificent views and the old temple.	14
662	you can enjoy the glory of indian ocean, enjoy breathtaking sunset at tanah lot. the complex is really large and pretty ancient with balinese character throughout. there are many shops and hawkers along the way, and had to cross all of them to get to the temple. like all other temples in bali, you cannot worship, but the location of the temple on the rock was pretty impressive site. please be careful of your car. we did park in the paid parking lot of the temple, but had both tail lights damaged when we came back. management should improve the service and security.	18
663	bit of a tourist rip off. the temple is okay, but too commercial and not as impressive as a lot of other temples in bali. if you are short on time you might as well skip this place...	2
664	the road to this place is very smooth, but sometimes you'll confused the exact location of this water palace, because the sign almost blended with the surrounding, so ride slowly. park your car in the hotel parking area and walk into the entrance gate. you paid a small fee to enter, way too cheap. inside you see the beautiful water garden, got many nice statue and relief, a must visit when you're in bali....	2
665	uluwatu is one of the iconic place in bali. not only the beauty of the place, the hearthbreaking scenery, with the amazing culture kecak dance performance will make this is as the one of the unforgetable experience in bali. kecak dance it self is balinese traditional dance, when the dancers not only dancing, but they also together make a rhythm \cak cak cak cak cak\. i also amaze with the costumes and the make up. also the character. the story itself it from hindu story ramayana. the performance is not on the stage, you won;t see any screen, the background is the sunset it self. make sure you comes to visit and this watch kecak dance when you visit bali.	8
666	a nice temple on a large rock, which can be reached at low tide. however, you can not enter to go up to the temple. there is also a cave opposite, which has a holy snake in it which can be viewed for a small price. there is a nice view of the temple and the sea from the cliffs opposite.	4
667	make sure you get there early to score tickets to the traditional fire dance that starts at 6pm. i'd say get there at least 30 mins before to score a good seat otherwise you'll be squashed up with the late comers. the dance is great & quite entertaining with elaborate costumes & of course fire. it goes for an hour & tickets are inr100000.	13
668	often come to this amazin temple with friend to show the magic of bali where the temple located in offshore. best way to visit is early morning where not many tourist then able to see more spot and fresh air.	2
669	we visited uuwatu temple at noon and it was so hot because we had a long walk until we arrive at the hill but actually we forgot the fatigue in front of a panoramic view for the sea and the mountains. the monkeys are naughty so you should be careful not to lose your sunglasses or your mobiles!	8
670	we visited tanah lot temple during high tide , view was simply amazing. it is visted by many tourist and ofcourse this place is worth visiting highly recommended either for sun rise or sunset you will be amazed by its beauty.	17
671	uluwatu is located south of bali and it offers a breathtaking view of the indian ocean. there is long scenic view along the cliffs which offers several encounters with monkeys. uluwatu is crowded and tourist can be annoying; however, the beauty of the temple and scenery is worth every penny. unfortunately, we arrived at the temple too early and we did not want to wait a couple hours for the kecak dance. we regretted missing it but the heat took a toll on us and it was time to go back to the hotel and cool off inside a beautiful tropical pool.	8
672	went to ulu watu at sunset during our vacation in june 2010. it was very, very crowded. you are warned about the monkeys before walking down the path and if you go follow the instructions to the letter. the monkeys are absolutely vicious and will steal anything. my wife had her glasses ripped off of her face by a monkey, not sun glasses balanced on top of her head but proper sight glasses required for daily vision. the temple itself was ok from a distance but unless you are a follower you cannot enter the main compound. we did not think it was worth the hassle, entry fee or the taxi fee to get there.	8
673	if you are in bali and have some time, this place should be on your to-visit list. the place itself is wonderful, with 2 nicely laid out ponds full of colourful fishes, and small bridges across the ponds. one pond even has small pillars (in rows across the entire length and breadth of the pond) so you can actually walk in the pond and take pictures/ feed fishes. take care so you dont fall - we saw a man falling in the water while posing for a photo - the water was just a couple of feet deep but his backpack was completely soaked. there is also a small swimming pool (for which you need to pay a separate entry fee). there are also people with pythons standing near the entrance. for a small fee, you can have a picture taken with the pythons. there are also guides available but you dont really need to hire one (you can always google the place for its history). the place is a bit far from ubud, so if you stay in kuta/ denpasar or if you are short of time, you will need to consider the travelling time as well.	2
674	this is classed as the mother temple there are many temples in indonesia. it was very interesting and our guide was informative .	2
675	uluwatu temple is around a 45 min drive away from kuta. it's a beautiful place to watch the sunset and the kecak dance at the same time. the tickets for the performance are slightly pricier (idr 100 000) compared to other places but the performers are well trained and the performance was very entertaining. there are a lot of people so make sure you get there at least half an hour before the show to get a good seat. there are a lot of people who walk in too late or walk out before the show ends and it's very annoying, please don't be one of these people! besides that, the monkeys are cute but hold your belongings tight because they are very naughty. they like to steal stuff and swap the items for bananas.	8
676	this was the highlight of our trip to bali. watching the sunset from the cliffs was absolutely priceless. the temple and the temple grounds are well maintained and one can walk along the cliffs on either side of the temple. the views of the temple and the vast stretch of sea from these cliffs is amazing. there is a fire dance that happens at the temple grounds for which only a limited number of tickets are sold and it is generally crowded. if you are interested, then it is best to be there early to buy your ticket. be aware of the monkeys at the temple as they will snatch at anything. so do take care of your belongings. best time to visit uluwatu is at sunset.	8
677	the temple offers great views and great photo opportunities. there are a few \guides\ on site to help around. also got the chance to see a few monkeys! the only downside is the fact that this is a \touristic attraction.\ even if this was not high tourist season, there were still a fair amount of people talking loudly and continuously recording everything. personally, we would have preferred enjoying the atmosphere of a traditional temple a little more. i would recommend reading a little on the history of the place ahead of time too! quiet interesting.	4
678	this place is one of well-known pura (hindu prayer place/temple) in bali. located in edge of beratan lake, bedugul. its unique structure building combined with gorgeous lake view will satisfy anyone needs to take pictures.	30
679	really pretty place, you cannot miss this scenic place. it can a a long walk till the other side or you can roam around the temple grounds. beware : 1.monkeys! they will rob you. 2.steep places must do : 1.wear a sarong to enter any temple grounds in bali. its free there. 2.grab a corn after the visit and have a coconut. enjoy the breeze!	2
680	it was breathtaking standing at the cliffs looking out to the ocean! beautiful! we went there in the afternoon and it was quite a wrong timing. this was because the sun was very strong in the afternoon and there wasn't much shelter. but the view was great enough for us to forget about the sun. temple at the cliff was not for visiting. well i guess it is there custom in bali that one must be properly dress in there traditional attire if they want to enter to the temple (for prayer only). to visit uluwatu, visitors need to pull on sarong but the yellow slash was unnecessary. staff were very unfriendly there. and they would push you to buy banana to feed the monkeys. say no if you do not want the yellow slash and banana though they would be angry at you. there were lots of monkeys at the entrance. these monkeys are scary and they snatch things from people!. my camera was nearly snatched away by the monkeys! and these monkeys attempted to snatch my friend's slipper too! tips: keep all sunglasses, hat, camera or shiny things properly in the bags.	8
681	from this place, you can see indian ocean directly from coral sloping with height 100 m in average. you can find many monkey here, be careful dont disturb them.	14
682	while the temple is great, the location for a sunset is better. high above the cliff sits this temple. more people than you'll know what to do with but get a place along the railing and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets around. leave before the show is done to get back to your hotel quicker. very hot and little shade. worth it to see the sun set on this historic place.	4
683	definitely a must visit attraction if visiting bali. you must take care to follow guidelines as given to enjoy.	2
684	so far the best temple during my 1 week stay (visited 4 temples). be ready for a long drive but its worth it with the awesome view. cheap photographers available idr20,000 each so be sure to get them for good momento. highly recommend to all.	4
685	we booked a tour to uluwatu temple, not that fussed on temples but the view at and around the temple made this trip a must. the cliff views either side of the temple is spectacular and combine that with the sunset....beautiful	8
686	the temple view is breathtaking from top, and the natural landscape is just too beautiful! you have to wear a piece of cloth, which is draped around body, and it is provided there for free. respect the culture and religion and enjoy the view! p/s it can be realllyyy hot in the afternoon. so advisable to go in morning!	4
687	if you are in the region it is worth stopping by for a visit. having said that a drive up and along the east coast of bali is a marvellous route. all routes are fabulous actually. - up and over through the centre or round the east or west.	2
688	many improvements to the temple and the garden since my last visit 6 years ago. sadly, too many aggressive vendors bothering visitors.	4
689	to begin, we visited at midday in order to avoid the late afternoon crowd at kecak so am unable to comment as to benefits or otherwise of the dance performance. i am respectful of other cultures and opinions but simply cannot see why other travellers are so glowing in their reviews. here's our family take on the attraction: - traffic is a bummer, very slow progress on main road so hope your driver knows a few shortcuts; - monkeys are aggressive and steal items (quite the opposite of the friendly mob at ubud monkey forest); - much of the temple is not open to general public and reserved for worship only; - nice cliff top views but hardly extraordinary. good for locals and those of faith but for tourists seeking an intimate hindu encounter and understanding of the way of life, there are alternatives to this tourist trap.	13
690	first temple i've visited in bali. it's a small temple and their is not a lot to see. the gardens around it are nice and the view is lovely. this is something you do for a hour if you want do something cultural. be aware of all the tourist, it's busy.	2
691	the temple itself is only average but the landscape is worth the visit. you can also stay for a traditional dance if you reach the temple on sunset. i stayed and enjoyed the dance but didn't like the overcrowded amphitheatre. they were selling much more tickets than the available seats which made people continuously walk around during the show !	13
692	the temple is fine and the lake is beautiful, but it is swarming with tourists and traffic is brutal. the area itself is great and we had a great time in the more mountainous north of bali, but this temple was really just one of the many reasons to hed north. we also hiked mount batur nearby (even more beautiful and surrounded by largest lake in bali) and checked out some of the waterfalls nearby. nice to check the box and see this famous temple, so i get it if you still want to go, but just make it a quick stop and keep moving. as with everything in bali, if you go early, less tourist, less painful traffic.	2
693	very nice temple located by the ocean. it is surrounded by a nice park with monkeys. beautiful view. must see in bali.	2
694	i'm not big on temples, but the ulun danu beratan water temple was beautiful. we took a guided canoe out on the water and got some great shots of the temple, also less tourists on the water 😂 .	30
695	i had organised a driver for the afternoon and he advised pick up at 2pm should be fine. i wanted to go to the monument first on the way. when we got there, there were 10,000 people all trying to do the same thing with no sort of order to it at all. we ended up leaving and continuing to ullawatu. we got there around 5.20pm and our feet hit the floor running. our driver whisked us thru to get our clothing item (to cover our knees) then he disappeared in the crowd to the next pay area to get to see the fire dance. we got to the area where this was to be done and again 10,000 people were already there. they squished way too many people into the arena and even had them sitting on the floor about 2 inches away from the dancers. the dance and performance itself was interesting to say the least, after a while i found it quite monotonmous with the same constant chanting throughout the whole show. but i had to see it to experience it. unfortunately i didnt get to relax and have a look around the area at all before the show or be able to take any photos as it was all so rushed. lucky i had been there before many years ago, but my friends had not and would have liked to have seen the place some more. so im saying make sure that you take lots of time out to get there and to look around and then expect huge delays getting back to your hotel - even on a bus tour, it will take forever !! then the trip home !!! i was staying at legian and it took close to 1.75hrs to get back....it was crazy !!!	13
696	this temple is atop a hill and is quite difficult to photograph based on the distance you are from it. the sunset was exciting but not spectacular - we did not have a red sunset which we understand makes the rocks on the cliff face alight like fire - it would have been nice to see this but the weather hampered that - it is nonetheless a lovely evening stroll and worth a visit	4
697	although island of bali has a number of old temples --- this is something special. we went around 11 am so the crowds were less, monkeys were present but they are only a menace due to the way we humans treat them! we give them food easily so they just are snatching it now! however the location of this temple is beautiful-- the cliffs are breathtaking and if one times the visit around evening time-- will not be very hot and can have a great walk around the cliffs.	2
698	one of the most beautiful places in bali, this in fact is my favourite place in bali. this place is serene and beautiful. the lave side view. a religious place. the weather is so fantastic. also enjoyed our visit to strawberry fields on our return.	2
699	we were here during low season and even then there are way too many people. difficult to get a good photo or anything, including the sunset when everyone is trying to take \the perfect photo\. you can't visit the temple at all and like any tourist spot people are trying to constantly sell you something.	4
700	went on a day trip with our driver komang. pretty place, nice and cool. loved the temple and surrounding areas. good to sit and just relax. and took some great photos. can ride in a boat around the lake.	4
701	it's the most photogenic temple in bali. best time is at high tide, when big waves break on the rocks...	2
702	awesome place to catch the sunset! the priests in the temple were very helpful in crossing across through the tide. very unique..	4
703	situated atop sheer cliffs the temple lies at a blinding spot. the huge incoming waves from the indian ocean are spectacular. especially at sunset the place looks magic. around sunset there is a small theater on the temple grounds also an enchanting performance of the kecak dance. we can recommend it, is takes about an hour and it is very good performance. dont give the monkeys anything to eat or you end up m,issing some of your belongings.	13
704	i understood that this was one of the best temples in bali, but i disagree. there are two temples that sit on two different outcrops but you cannot get more than a city block close to them.	2
705	based on the reviews we thought this would be an excellent thing to do for our last day in bali. however...i'm not sure the name 'uluwatu temple' properly reflects what this is. if you're expecting a proper balinese temple you'll be disappointed. because of this, you're effectively paying ~150,000 rupiah each (taxis and entry) to look at a cliff. i'd say this is only really worth it if you've literally never seen the coast before. i can imagine it looks beautiful at sunset, so maybe it would be worthwhile on a clear, sunny day. but if it's raining and windy like it is through most of the wet season, it's probably not worth it. however, if chinese tourists with selfie sticks are your thing, you'll be pleased to know this place has an abundance of them.	8
706	beautiful example of balinese culture and religious significance.	2
707	this temple offers a spectacular view of the coast line. i could have spent hours on end here but the weather conditions were extremely hot and there is little shade so i recommend to take sunscreen. the monkeys can get rather aggressive so i've been told by the tour guide ketut (as pictured) who is for hire to provide guidance from the monkeys and information about the temple itself.	14
708	tanah lot is simply gorgeous. we went at sunset which made it even better. the only downfall is the thousands of other people also enjoying the beauty. our tour guide said over 5000 people view tanah lot every day. it's worth the trip, just expect there to be quite a few people around.	17
709	it was breathtaking but you have to be weary of the resident monkeys. while i was photographing the sunset a monkey came from behind and grabbed my prescription sunglasses. luckily one of the guards was able to retrieve them. the monkey put on my glasses, chewed on the frames and twisted them but i was able to get them back. notwithstanding the monkey experience, this is definitely one of the must see sights in bali!	2
710	this temple is located in central bali on the western shore of lake beratan, with soaring mountains as a backdrop. it was cooler here than in ubud, and the air smelled fresh.unfortunately, all of bali must have been visiting this day which detracted from the experience. it was impossible to take a picture without including dozens of folks taking \selfies.\ however, it's the setting that makes this place special. the temple was built in the 17th century and dedicated to the hindu trinity. the grounds are well-kept and are very pretty. it's worth a stop just for thel mystical,scenic beauty.	2
711	good place of interest. can see both hindu temple and panorama of the lake. also available activities for family like fast boat, traditional canoe, and funny canoe designed as duck or dragon with manual operate by foot hahaha...	4
712	this picturesque temple is built on small islands. a small hindu temple is floating on blue and clear water of bratan lake with cloudy mountain backdrop. romantic scenery.	2
713	part of the main tourist driver/bus circuit. a lot of people, and a lot of history. good photo opp and they have the dance towards the end. i would recommend wearing a hat because you have to sit in the baking sun while people fill in and the show starts. show is something that you could actually do without. a lot of people started leaving during the middle of it.	13
714	the area is very beautiful but very hot. dress light and bring water. the monkeys aren't too bad unless you get very close. the staff is alright. dealing with tourists everyday, they seem pretty routine on their questions. all in all, if your in the area, its a must to check out. if you have to travel far to get there, it'll be worth it to check out the temple than jump in at uluwatu beach for a cool off.	8
715	-you need a sarong if you're in shorts, which you can hire from entrance. -we didn't paid for tickets or sarong as we went through tour organiser. -enter via side access steps to avoid cheeky monkeys. don't feed monkeys (they even announced this). always on the watch for monkeys they might jump on you! but there are so many people around so nothing to worry in terms of injury/safety. -once you're at top, take breathtaking views around you and take selfies/family pics. -cannot go inside the temple so take pics of temple. -get tickets for the fire dance show at least 1hr and secure your spot at least 0.5hr before the show. show time is 6pm. try to avoid the first bottom rows as fire can be so hot and sometimes can be dangerous. -watch the sunset from the open theatre. -show was ok. the monkey god (hanuman) may interact with you, as fun is part of the show. that's something some people like it but for hardcore hindus, it's hard to digest how they make fun of few things (like comparing sita ma to madona!) -enjoy the heavy traffic after the show, if you didn't leave early enough after the show! -all up, nice views but show wasn't worthwhile to go for us at least.	13
716	the cliff view was beautiful but the temple was closed. it was just very scenic. saw a lot of monkeys around which was very amusing.	14
717	this is highly overrated place and not worth going. the entry ticket is 100,000 rupiah and you can't even go into the temple. there are so many better temples in bali. we chose this temple as uluwuta has monkeys and we wanted to get some nice pictures done. also, the place was overcrowded.	8
718	the temple itself looks very nice, partly built on the lake, which itself is beautiful enough. the crowds of tourists partly spoil the impression, and the locals adapted, so now it is hard to tell which part of the temple is genuine (built in 17th century) and what is freshly made for tourists. there is some real junk like an egg-shaped cottage or artificial stone gate where tourists can take more of their trashy pictures.	4
719	it is actually one of those places which looks better on the photos. although still used for worship - i saw a very unhappy duck being carried off with great ceremony, followed by a group of men in impressive robes. the day we visited was cold, dark and dreary the temples rising from dark waters - nevertheless the whole atmosphere is almost disney like	4
720	the best destination in bali and for all my friends don't asking visit in if you not yet visit in tanah lot temple.	18
721	this is the most iconic image of bali and truly, it is worth it...amazing sunset...walking on the rock when the tide is low to reach the temple site (prohibited to walk up to the temple)...	2
722	the view is very charming, many traditions or activities that can be done there, such as seeing snakes in the cave, holy water, and aesthetic temples.	4
723	we went right on sunset and the views were beautiful. the cliffs and surrounding ocean were magnificent. the monkeys were interesting and fun to watch. however, were very cheeky stealing one mans sunglasses (he eventually got them back after much coaxing with fruit). the traditional dance was okay, maybe a little boring (went on too long). the white monkey actor was the highlight. we ended up leaving just before the finish to avoid being stuck in the masses trying to leave - the show was very crowded. overall the place was overrun with tourists, but where isn't in a popular holiday destination like bali? i recommend seeing at least once - i preferred uluwatu to tanah lot.	8
724	we went to tanah lot to watch the sunset and see the temples it was time well spent at this beautiful location, it was fairly crowded on the day we went but there was plenty of room to sit on the lawn and watch the sun sink into the ocean. there were a multitude of stalls selling typical balinese wares and some wonderful locally crafted items, on the whole it was an afternoon very much enjoyed by all the family.	18
725	the best part of the temple is the views of the surrounding cliffs and the sea. there are a lot of monkeys so don't take fruit in your pockets and keep a close eye on hats and glasses. the temple itself is much less ornate then others on the island so just enjoy the views (and hilarious monkeys).	14
726	i was there at the same time with balinese celebrating the day of animals ritual or simply tumpek uye / kandang in balinese language. it is the representation of balinese grateful to the god for being given the animals for their life with many purposes. they also celebrate that day in monkey forest with a lot of offerings and rituals. which is symbolizing how they synchronize their life with spirituality, humanity and environment.	2
727	this is one of the most popular temples in bali. you can spend 2-3 hours here. do not miss the evening dance that happens in the temple premise. try to go to the dance place an hour before or else you can miss it. they have limited seats available.	2
728	one place to start u r bali trip.. very close to south bali, one of the nicer places to start exploring the city. you might need a vehicle to travel as the public transport is not very great. but once you get there, you will love the spot. i would suggest you to reach at around 3 pm, so that you can visit the temple. after 5 pm the tide rises, so you cannot reach the temple. there will be volunteers to help you wade through the waves. the sunset is best enjoyed at around 5.30 to 6.00 pm.	2
729	we didn't know what to expect. the only thing we'd been told was to watch out for the monkeys stealing your stuff. they turned out to be pretty chilled out. they were just looking around or eating random things. i got some great pics :) in terms of the site, it was really cool. the cliffs that the temple are on are so high and really impressive. to get in we had to pay about $20 for two people (from memory). that gave us a sarong so that we could go into the temple. we also paid about $15 each to see the kecak dancers. this started at 6pm and was a traditional fire dance telling a really interesting hindu story. the sound these guys make is so funny, it'll be a fun story between you and the others who went there. the place was really busy though but not annoyingly so. i recommend going :)	13
730	this is one of the most beautiful place i had seen in my life, it has a cold atmosphere and a huge lake where the temple is located. didnt want to leave this place. if you go spend atleast 3 to 4 hours here relaxing around.	4
731	uluwatu is very special. the views of the sea are amazing and the temples beautiful. beware of the monkeys we say them steal at least 3 pairs of sunglasses whilst we were walking around. the setting is simply stunning for this temple. we went at about 4 in the afternoon and watched the keck show at sunset. it was beautiful watching all the fishing boats going out to fish at night. really memorable!	8
732	it has got an amazing view with cliff top and pacific ocean. the temple is nice and good garden ambience. the kecak dance is performed at the evening at an open amphitheatre at a beautiful scenic background. recommended to reach the spot by 4:30pm.	13
733	tanah lot temple is quite a sight. the view is mesmerizing. we were not allowed to go on the top in the temple but you can still take the holy water and pay some money and climb 10 steps if you want (that was a little awkward actually) but overall the sun sinking in the ocean will make your day	17
734	pura uluwatu looks like any other temples in bali. however, it is perched right on top of a cliff overlooking a gorgeous sea view. that makes it more special than any other temples in there. i would recommend you going between 4-6pm so that you have enough time to explore the beautiful scenery during day light without waiting too long for sunset. the traditional kecak dance starts at 6pm daily if you are interested. before you enter the temple, there are many warning signboards cautioning you against the monkeys and also to keep your spectacles in your bag. do adhere to it or you will regret losing you expensive glasses or shades to those mischievous monkeys. these little creatues are not afraid of human contact and can get pretty agressive. while i was there, there were a few monkeys which tried to snatch the slippers of some visitors. in short, anything small that is easy to grab or dangling like your camera, flip flops, glasses, etc are best guarded. there was even a cheeky monkey which was mocking the owner of a pair of spectacles as it plays with the latter with glee. unlike pura tanah lot which has plenty of stalls / stores which sell knick-knacks, paintings and other souvenirs, there is nothing to see here. a must see for first timers.	8
735	the uluwatu temple is a must see if you come to bali. it has an amazing view that is even better when the sun goes down. there are also monkies, they make sure that there is always some fun. you should defenitely watch the traditional dances in the temple. a true must see.	8
736	pura tanah lot is one of the most visited temple in bali, with unique offshore setting, natural rock formations and stunning sunset backdrop. the temple built for sailors, stands at the junction of sea and low cliffs. you can go till the temple stairs and walk along the sea line, but only during low tides. entry inside the temple is only for native balinese. there is another temple, right towards tanah lot, known as pura enjung galuh. it is as beautiful as tanah lot and stands on a cliff arc. try visiting at sunset, and keep atleast an hour, if interested in walking around the sea shore and enjoying the view. plan accrdingly as reaching here from kuta-seminayak can take time due to traffic and narrow roads.	18
737	it's no doubt a breathtaking hindu temple that was built on a cliff centuries ago. the view overlooking the ocean from the top is just amazing. but beware of monkeys there. they are a brazen lot unafraid to snatch tourist's spectacles, cameras, drinks or hats from your hands. remember not to feed them as the others will come asking for more.	14
738	lovely sea with picture perfect view. cliff and temple scenery is awesome. sunset is beautiful with glittering sea. must visit	4
739	i didn't expect much before coming here but it is actually one of the best places to visit on this island. it's a large forest and temple complex, made so interesting because of the large amount of monkeys here. and unlike the monkeys in uluwatu, these monkeys are actually very friendly and do not attack or even \pester\ you. you can hold up a banana and they'll jump onto your shoulder or head but if you don't, they will ignore you. there are also nice short walks in this forest, like one along a small river. i'm glad i came because, as i said, i didn't expect much. entrance is idr 30k, so not much for such a good attraction.	8
740	this temple offers a beautiful view on the lake and it has a lot of celebrations which makes the visit interesting. it is reasonably priced and we have not been bothered during our visit. it is good to visit before 10 am or later in the afternoon. there is a good restaurant named de danau with a terrasse which offers a great view on the lake + the food is good and reasonably priced.	4
741	we really enjoyed our trip to the temple. the grounds of the temple are beautiful filled with greenery and flowers. i would definitely recommend this place to visit.	4
742	we visited and were awestruck by the views and by the temple. it was well worth the additional few bucks $6 usd for a tour guide to explain everything.	4
743	went to this temple on a tour and was fairly impressed. the temple itself is very beautiful and is set on the lake. photography is excellent, even with the hundreds of people. the grounds of the temple are pretty big and it's a nice walk round. i've heard it's cloudy/misty most days, so we're were really lucky as the blue skies came out. worth the small entrance fee and we even got. glimpse at a ceremony taking place, which was wonderful to see. you should defiantly try to come to this temple.	4
744	cool place to visit in uluwatu! watch out for monke tho!🤠 not too many tourist here which i thought was very nice could’ve been more temples/more history about the temples.	8
745	went back after 20yrs. hopibg it had not become a tacky tourist spot i was not disappointed. set on its own rocky outcrop on the ocean tanah lot remains one of the most stunning temples i have seen on bali. there are lovely grounds to walk around and a market. so glad i went back.	18
746	the temple is beautiful in the architecture and ofcourse the location. i was staying in nusa dua, so it was a bit far, but totally worth the trip. the blue indian ocean and the temple at the edge of the cliff overhand looks kind of mesmerizing. the second temple which can be reached only if the tide is low can be seen from the cliff and you need to be lucky to be there during low tide. however, unlike the temples in india or elsewhere, you cannot enter these temples. all the entryways were closed to the inside of the temples. hence its only worth seeing the gorgeous architecture. the place is also kept very neat and clean...which was great... all the tourists were following the signs and obeying them. really would recommend a trip to anyone in bali.	2
747	a popular tourist attraction that you can visit when you venture to bali . one can take interesting pictures of the little temple positioned up on the cliff . we did not wade across the sea to climb up as the tide was coming in. definitely worth visiting and taking picture memories. you do not need to cover yourself at all .	2
748	my friend and i did uluwatu on our first day in bali and it was a perfect start to the holiday. there are many stunning points to observe the sea and the temple from. there is a path of the beaten track on a dirt road that you can take for the best views at uluwatu.	8
749	tanah lot was the last destination on my half day tour. check the weather and sunset time before booking a tour/self-drive or you may not see the perfect view. you should also think about the traffic influence to schedule the time. i recommend to be there before 5:45pm and take a nice spot and wait for the sunsets. you can also see millions of bats flying out during the sunset just like the congress bridge in austin.	17
750	beautiful temple with amazing views, we loved the way the temple looked over the ocean with the stunning water in the background. just be aware of the tourist traps and upped market prices	4
751	while others palace are well known with its bali architecture such ubud palace, which compare with palace and garden in east bali has a different typical architecture. in east bali mostly architecture are combination of chinese, european and bali architecture. its much more interesting. and must visit if you love bali architecture and history. combining tirtagangga water garden with east bali puri agung palace, maskerdam, london palace and taman sukasadha ujung water palace, is like a one day time machine in east bali, bring you back to the east bali kingdom era.	2
752	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. temple entry was idr50k and the grounds were beautifully maintained - even some spongbob squarepants character statues to amuse the children. 2192	2
753	we totally love this temple wondering how a small temple can stand up all the time by the strong wave. this must be built by the power of pure spirit. we admired this scenic, spent 1.5 hours. will back someday	4
754	loves the architecture of the site, with the temple being on a lake with a wondrous backdrop of a mountain range. comes in early to avoid the heavy tourist volume or late in the evening to enjoy the sunset.	4
755	came here as part of a private tour. this is a village and to see all the attractions on site you will need about 4 hours and it’s all uphill and quite steep. both men and women need to wear sarongs if you’re wearing shorts. instead of an entrance fee they ask for donations. once inside we walked to the gate of heaven temple, but depending on which side you get up from. if you get in through the front you’ll be blessed with holy water and need to move quick as there’s a queue of people wanting their photos taken. even if you have queued, to have photos taken people will constantly either want to go down once they have finished (rather than taking the side part down) or people keep coming up. we then wanted to visit the dragon statue which is right opposite the gate of heeven temple however they had a ceremony going on. something to beware of!	28
756	uluwatu temple is a gorgeous place to see the balinese people celebrate their heritage. the grounds are are on a cliff with gorgeous views of the ocean. there are monkeys running around and be careful. they will steal anything hanging but likely they are ground keepers that help the visitors recover their belongings. plan accordingly and stay for the dance that happens at sunset. you would need to have a driver or an uber ready to leave uluwatu. there is no public transportation to and from the temple. we hired marte with bali local host (+62 819 991 36 355) and he drove us from our hotel to the temple and back for very inexpensive. worth every penny.	8
757	we went and came back to this place never realizing there’s a temple inside. did tonnes of roadside shopping, spent hours capturing the sunset and admiring the waters - but that’s about it. somebody mentioned later that there’s a temple inside to visit. sorry. missed it completely. didn’t see anyone talking about it either. oh btw, place is just average. don’t have high hopes.	4
758	located on tabanan regency where need 2 hour from denpansar. that place known as a best sunset in bali but unfortunately i couldn't got that experience due to my visit just for bussiness. so sad. eventhough i enjoyed the sunny days there. if you cross the sea go to the offshore temple, you would got offered holy water from hindu people. but be careful due to high waves there. tanah lot temple is simply among bali’s not-to-be-missed icons. don't miss it guys...highly recommended	18
759	this temple is 2 hours at least away from ubud but definitely worth it. the wait there for pictures was another 2 hours. there are people there that will take your picture for you for a small donation. also, a small donation is required to enter the temple!	28
760	boring. there is nothing to see there. no real shrine. just a few walls and many many tourists. would absolutely not recommend to go there by bus! traffic jam!	4
761	i came to pura ulun danu at nov 13.. i drove my rent car for about 2 hours from kuta ( where i stay ). its very faaaaarrrr away from kuta.. and u have to becareful driving to there because the road is up and down and very sharp.. u need to have a good skill of driving if u want to drive by ur self.. but overall its wort to visit.. a very beautiful place.. a temple that surounding with water.. my family love this place.. we can see the real place that i ussually see in 50.000 idr's picture..	30
762	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	4
763	the visit to the uluwatu temple and the evening kecak dance was the highlight of my visit to bali. we arrived around 5.00pm and felt dlightly anxious given all the reviews warning about ther monkeys. it seems they were already well fed by the time i arrived because the day before had been a major religious hindu day and people had brought loads of food. the monkeys are naughty and a few japanese tourists were seen screaming and running in all directions but that only added to the adventure! sunset from the temple was fantastic. i have wanted to see the kecak dance since was a little kid and it was everything i imagined. it is simply amazing - entertaining, captivating and the location was perfect. follow the visit with dinner on the beach at jimbaran bay and you have had a great afternoon and evening. the monkeys were very well behaved for my visit which was kind of disappointing in a macabre sort of way - i had been hoping for a bit of adventure!	8
764	this is a nice place to walk around. there is an admission charge. there are some interesting temples and such.	4
765	tanah lot temple is a temple within sea water. the closest you are allowed to go is the cave entry. general people are not allowed to enter the main section. in spite of it,it presents an excellent view, the main temple is having trees all around. the area in front of the temple is rocky, but you can walk on it and enjoy the view. sunset is very beautiful to watch there. when we went there some school program was going on and the view was more colorful. we had to wait for that program tiens before we can walk into the front beach area of the temple. it is a must visit place in bali.	18
766	this is worth a visit with it's unusual statues, large ponds full of fish and huge lily pads. you can walk across one of the ponds on the circular concrete pads. the swimming pool is great too - so refreshing with spring water circulating through it - it's large enough to swim lengths - the locals didn't swim in it as it's deep; they prefer the smaller shallower pool nearby. we went 2 days in a row for a swim staying at the nearby puri sa wah which has lovely accommodation and a restaurant amongst the rice paddies. liz who owns the place with her husband made us very welcome and told us lots of interesting things about balinese life.	2
767	i have a quick trip to uluwatu temple. it took 30 min. from our hotel in jimbaran, ayana. it was really nice scenery. you need 1 hour to cover all places, the temple and the cliff. it is good if you have time.	8
768	the uluwatu temple is located off a cliff. there's a long path that you follow from entry that goes around in a loop. you get to see beautiful views of the cliff, beaches and the ocean. along the path you also get to walk through the sacred temple where you can see the religious folk praying and moving around. there's also a large section that's full of monkeys. its a bit of a shock and they get pretty close to you but theyre so used to people that they don't give you any attention. there's lots of photo opportunities at this temple and i definitely recommend it if you're in the area.	8
769	was lucky enough that the high tide was just coming in when we visited so got great pics of the waves crashing into the rocks. dont miss the walk across to the main temple and drink from the fresh water spring. place worth spending a couple of hours.	4
770	if there is one temple you need to visit in bali ( there are thousands like india) make sure it is this one. amazing views and a wonderful dance performance based on the ramayana. the dance is performed with the sun set as the background. bit touristy but that can't be helped	2
771	when in uluwatu you have to go. the temple itself is not special or anything, but the location is ! come at 5 and enjoy the kecak dance and a beautiful sunset seated high upon a rock overlooking the sea.	8
772	i strongly recommend everybody to take a guide, normally the guy who ties the \surong\ near the ticket counter would be happy to do the service for usd 10. he is absolutely essential to way away the monkeys who are very mischievous and they can take away your slippers or even your glasses. only hindus can enter the shrine as it is meant for worship, thankfully we were allowed in. the views from the top is breathtaking. worth the visit!	14
773	fantastic lake view, nice garden. mountainous road uphill all the way with scenic photo stops. along the way there's a good coffee stop: www.baligemitir.com offers great view and live band during lunch hours	2
774	it was nice to walk around here and take some pictures. but, be careful with the monkeys. they run and jump free. they might want to steal your shiny jewelry, hats, glasses. do not, i mean do not, confront them whatsoever. don't touch them especially their infants, don't see them directly in their eyes, and don't feed them. if you follow that rules, you'll be fine. based on my experience, monkeys here are more tamed than monkeys in uluwatu temple. i've been here twice and they don't steal my glasses, while in uluwatu, well... a monkey did steal my glasses.	8
775	while we were at tanah lot it was high tide therefore we could not access the temple. once the tide lowered we were able to go down and take some nice view photos from the water. it really is a floating temple surrounded by the sea. the let down is that we can't access the temple so its mainly an area for photos only, which wasn't very exciting or culturally interesting.	17
776	this place is a must visit place in bali. we will be able to see three interesting thing here. first the kecak dance which cost 100k. before the dance you can watch another free show which is the robbery by the .monkeys around. be careful the monkey here really very annoyed, we saw one handphone was grab by the monkey and disappear in the forest. so beware of the stuff like spectacle, handphone and slipper ! the third thing is the beautiful scenery. really amazing. pictures tell thousand word.	2
777	we have been to quite a few temples around bali and this was by our favourite. it's like a scene out of indiana jones! we took our 3 year old daughter and we all had a blast. we went 90 minutes before closing, just after a rain and there were way less tourists around too, it was practically empty. but don't be a moron and try to feed the monkeys or touch them or put your cameras in their faces. we saw tourists teasing them with umbrellas or making them feel uncomfortable by getting too close for a pic or touching mom/baby monkeys. they are still wild animals so don't be an idiot about it and you'll have a great time!	2
778	this is one of the two temples in the day tour we took. more than a tour it was a driver because he took us from place to place but didn’t explain much and stayed in the car when we got to the 5 places. the temple has a fee of 50,000 rp per adult. we were not allowed to enter the temple, but more walked around the grounds which are very well kept. it seemed a bit too touristic for me, but then again... i am a tourist 🙃 anyone could spend half a day here and half a day in the strawberry fields around the area and have a lovely day! if you want the whole experience i suggest you pay a tour guide, but i loved our experience of just two people in a car and we could spend as much time in each place as we wished, he would stop us we asked him and was very nice man. look me up on facebook for more bali info! upekkhapr sylvia fernandez 🙏🏼	2
779	we paid 20,000rupiah per person for ticket. before we entered the temple, our driver warn us about the naughty monkeys there. he told us best to not wear any hats, sunglass or have your bags open. at the ticketing counter, they have this cloth available for free to cover you in case u r wearing short pants. the temple is located on top of a high cliff.. view was stunning and we were there near noon so it was super hot n the sky was blue with no clouds. perfect weather for photography but i was sweating like hell. we were there during hindu day so alot of the locals throng the temple for prayers. we can only view from the temple surronding and not allowed to go in to the prayer place. we then saw a monkey just snatch a kid's slipper and ran into the woods. worst my grandfather who was outside the temple entrance near the carpark, had his specs snatch from behind by a monkey. it chewed on the specs and refuse to give bak. luckily some locals threw some food to it and it let go of the specs but it was already ruin. so be really aware of the monkeys there	14
780	#1 on most bali bucket lists is sunset at tanah lot. it's worth the trip - a beautiful view is on offer from the many available cliff top restaurants nearby and, if the tide is out, you can wander on the beach and visit the holy spring at the bottom of the temple. hawkers and tourist shops abound but it's not too in your face with a polite no. food and drink prices aren't the cheapest but not extortionate either. a nice relaxing way to start your evening even with a russian stag do knocking back arak by the bottle at the next table which probably speaks highly to tranquillity it promotes! ;)	18
781	visited f on candidasa so in theory only 40minutes away but as this is bali it took longer. only 30,000 rph each so good value. it is worth visiting for 1 to 2hours. really pretty and well laid out	2
782	worth a visit if in bali to experience local culture. unsure why spongebob sign in a holy place, but it is. nice for pictures but very busy	2
783	our tour was rushed & had to leave before sunset. there was ceremony so was not able to get close to temple. recommend tourists to include walk to \bridge\, temple & stay for sunset. can get close to crashing waves against rocky shores & view out to ocean.	4
784	this is a must do in bali. visit the temple for sunset, but get there early as you want to also see the kecak dance (sunset monkey dance). the temple is very relaxing and all of a sudden at about 500 people plus appear all jostling trying to get into the dance. there are limited seats so make sure you not only buy your temple ticket, that gets you a sarong, but go straight to the dance tickets and get one, or better off buy it online. sitting high up you get magnificent views of the sunset over the indian ocean and of the dancers. sitting low down, or even on the flat concrete you feel part of the show. all the seating is on concrete steps, apart from half a dozen plastic chairs. we got told we were vips and wete permitted on the chairs, not sure who they got us confused with!!! the dance contains fire so understand that. we did have an incident while we watched when one of the silk robes of a dancer caught fire, many people were upset, mainly asians. no one was hurt. finally as you go around the temple watch for the monkeys, they like glasses, bags, hats and dangly ear rings. there are monkey monitors, but they are fast. i highly recommend here. enjoy	2
785	the uluwatu temple a located in shout west on top of cliff and it's surrounded by an amazing indian ocean to making feel on a heaven also there are lots of monkeys around the temple.	8
786	when you actually see the temple and the rock it sits on, you realize how small it is. the area around the temple is a marketplace with vendors setting up stalls and doing tourist business. most visitors crowd onto a spot near the sea to take a photo with the island, but if you walk up the path there are several restaurants along a cliff directly opposite the rock island where you can take clear shots of the temple without anyone blocking you.	4
787	my wife enjoyed this temple. great location and the views are amazing. there is also markets out the front of the temple if you need to buy any souvenirs. great half day trip.	4
788	this temple was one the most beautiful places in bali, don’t forget to put on comfortable shoes cause you have to walk, and be aware of monkeys, they can easily steal you staffs and don’t forget that you shouldn’t look into their eyes.	2
789	the uluwatu temple itself is rather small and not a very impressive one, if it weren't for its exquisite location at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean. the views it offers however are breathtaking. visit preferably late afternoon, so that you can catch the 1-hour kecak dance at 6pm (separate entrance fee) which offers some nice entertainment.	8
790	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.	4
791	beautiful temple on a huge cliff face. makes for great photos! monkeys were a bonus. would be on the must see temple list along with tanah lot. great to see some of the countryside - it's a lot differnet from the urban areas of nusa dua, kuta etc	14
792	not far from cuta its a temple as many others all around the island should be there at the writetime to celebrate any ceremony.recomanded for surfers nice spot	4
793	so i planned my stays around the attractions i wanted to see the most. i read a lot of good reviews about this temple, but honestly it did not live up to my expectation. its nice to look at for a max 10 minutes... but there really isn't too much to see unless you pay to see the sunset dance, which is always completely packed.i love to see temples, but this one was a let down for sure i wish i didn't leave seminyak to come and stay in uluwatu for 2 days. theres not much to do around here. i wouldn't recommend this as a must see, especially if you are in a time crunch.	8
794	this was the best temple in bali for sure. it's very far from the seminyak area which is the only problem. i suggest you hire a driver for the day and head out here early in the day. i was lucky enough to go when there wasn't much other people around so i was able to have some good photos. make sure to buy some fish food before entering the temple. there are 100s of giant goldfish in the water and it's a great photo opportunity when you feed them. people are selling it for about $1-$3 right outside of the entrance	2
795	the entry price for here is 30,000 rupiah for an adult and 15,000 for a child, and 5,000 for a parking space (for our indonesian guide - parking may be more for foreigners). the views were nice, but far too many tourists. don't pay any attention to people selling stuff - you can get what they are selling much cheaper elsewhere. overall, a pleasant visit.	2
796	our visit to the temple was so stunning! we absolutely loved the views, we went in the morning to avoid the crowds and even then it was busy but it was totally worth it!! but a reminder for people to hold onto their property tightly because we saw a monkey steal sunglasses from one man and a phone from a selfstick from another man! we laughed but i’m sure they were not!!! so be aware of thieving monkeys 🐒	14
797	cultural experience (and some fun watching the monkeys around) you need to pay an entrance fee that also gives you the sarong to use inside the temple (if you are visiting their culture, please do it as they ask, dont be as stupid as some \disrespectful tourists\ can be, if you are living this experience, be polite and follow their instructions you can also go for a show that they play everyday from 6 to 7pm, 10.000 rupiahs amazing theatrical experience, but again, if you regret or decide to leave early, dont mess around asking to get out stepping on others because you will distract other interested people watching, the cast is representing a serious act, but they can play funny sometimes, just be respectful.	13
798	must visit this place, when the water sea is down you can walk through the bottom of sea and there are many mini creature like fish, seaweed and crab, tanah lot temple have a cave which holy snake stay here all the time, i climb on the top but not on the temple because its not allowed to go in, u can enjoy the sea wind , its romantic place when go with couple. my tips go when the water sea level is down around 10 am - 3 pm u can shopping at the market, there are many clothes and other and u can bargain the price, dont shy for the bargain ya.	4
799	stunning location high on the cliff top; amazing views along the cliff top walk. they won't take you into the temple; just show you through the gate. our guide wayan was hilarious; he had his own slingshot to scare off the monkeys if needed. one tourist was bitten while we were there; we were fine - wayan showed us the nice monkeys. $2 to enter; us$10 for guide	14
800	we visited the uluwatu temple to watch the sunset. it was very very busy, however, it was a great view and a beautiful sunset....... would recommend a visit.	8
801	too bad we cannot go inside the temple. it is closed for prayer only. but the outside, the natural setting and the beautiful views from the cliffs are breathtaking especially during sunset.	4
802	visited this place as a day trip from sanur. we hired a vehicle from the hotel and went there. the temple is situated at the sea. we checked the time and just reached at the time of low tide. tourist not allowed inside the temple, one can go and see it from outside. locals will offer to allow entry to go up against a tip. it's not worth as one can climb may be 4 or 5 steps only. view is really beautiful and one should not miss it if in bali irrespective of religious belief.	2
803	ulun danu bratan temple is one of the water temples in indonesia. this temple can be found also at the back 50,000 ind rupiah. on behalf of my group, i would like to thank komang, our guide from balitraditionaltours.com and our driver.	30
804	when you arrive this temple, you need to walk up to the top of the temple. it takes around 10-15 min to the top. then, you will see beautiful view from the temple where mt. agung is seen in front of the temple if the weather is good, not cloudy but unfortunately when i came there, it was cloudy so that i couldn't see mt. agung from the temple. the other interesting thing is the photo taken from the temple was modified by the local people where they used mirror so the effect of the photo will show like you stand near the pool. it's actually a good technique photography and i really appreciate it.	28
805	the temples are amazing, and if you go in the afternoon you can walk out to the base when the tide is out. but the most spectacular view is at sunset though the arch and with the silouette of the temple on top.we were able to arrive about 4:30 pm and walk around in the daylight, go to the beach and tide pools and then watch the sun go down. this is not far from ubud and was an awesome finish to a great tour.	4
806	beautiful temple in an awesome location with breathtaking views of the sea, the cliff and the sunset! we also found the kecak and fire dance a very traditional and different experience. let this be a definite item on your list, please!	13
807	uluwatu temple sits on the west bluff of the bali island. it is a beautiful site. as all hindu temples on the island, there are restricted areas where tourists are not, allowed. to really enjoy the site, i believe a morning visit will be more serene and spiritual. we went in the afternoon for the sunset. there were so many people waiting for the same sunset. it was rather disappointing. it is worth to mention about the monkeys on the site. they are smart and fast handed. we saw one man lost his glasses to an old mama monkey, and my friend lost her hat in a split second to another and the hat was destroyed within 20 seconds. hang on to your glasses and hats!	8
808	very beautiful temple....and the view is remarkable..... u can see the sunset beautifully. but, be careful of the monkeys...and we didn't watch the dance... i think u can skip it...	13
809	there is a lot of climbing. if you don’t like stairs don’t make the trip. if you do make the trip then it would be worth it. down in the valley with rice fields and the river flowing. the temple is an ode to the ancestors of the kings it’s lovely and the architecture considering how difficult volcanic rock is to work with - is admirable. it’s spic and span not a piece of litter anywhere. a tribute to the people of bali. lovely art stores everywhere with coconut carvings, paintings and bone carvings. an excellent experience	2
810	we visited uluwatu temple and bought tickets for the sunset fire dancers. the temple isn't anything special, but its location and the fire dancers were superb.	8
811	fourth trip to bali and never gone to tanah lot temple before. this should be on everybody's list of must see in bali. the temple is perched out on the rocks and when the tide comes in it is completely surrounded. there were quite a lot of people around as is expected but luckily april is in the off season so not as many as there could be. disappointed in all the retail shops before and after the temple. you come to expect the souvenir shops even though you might not like them but seriously is there a need for them at what is such a spectacular and holy place.	18
812	tanah lot temple has a stunning architecture and its location along the coast is breathatkingly beautiful. although the sunset tours here are popular during low-tide, the daytime tours during high-tide are equally beautiful, with the waves crashing against the rocks and the beautiful blue hues of the sea.	17
813	this is a worthy place to visit. after long journey of about 1.5-2 hrs ride you can relax here. during high tide not possible to enter temple but low tide can enter temple. nice place to click & selfies.	4
814	returned to pura lahur uluwatu for another visit on 19/05/13. it was a beautiful sunny morning so the view of the coral reef down below was glistening. we chose to have a guide again as they are always helpful when the cheeky monkeys are out and about causing mischief. our guide was a lovely grandmother by the name of made, who was happy to stop for photo oppurtunities on many occasions. we also purchased some nuts to feed the monkeys. a visit in the morning is preferable for us due to less traffic and visitor crowding. the temple itself is beautiful as always with the intricate stone work. a new stone plaque has also been erected in the park. on both occasions we have found the monkeys to be well behaved however we did witness glasses, camera and a thong taken within seconds by a group of monkeys. they will literally swoop the shoe of your feet! the glasses and the camera proved to be a lot easier for the monkey to hand back to their prospective owner than the beloved thong he held on so dearly…. further along our walk we encountered a monkey sitting in the shade who was more than happy to sit there and be fed. he was so lazy that if you didn’t directly roll a nut to him it was to much a bother to pick up and eat. they are best monkeys to encounter! we also came across another dear older lady who was selling woven bracelets. we purchased several from her and it was a pleasure to see her beautiful smile. overall a visit to pura lahur uluwatu is always enjoyable and a great getaway from the hustle and bustle.	8
815	its the best i have ever seen , best in my bali visit too ! our tour guide recommended it , absolutely mind blowing view of the sea ...never seen someplace so picture perfect and beautiful !!!	2
816	one of must visit attraction while in bali. but some of people just leave their empty bottle of water or snack all over the spot in tanah lot . one of beautiful place in bali and let's help to maintain it clean. long walk till the temple. wear hat on summer and not recommend to visit on rainy day.	18
817	when me and my partner visited we were really excited as we'd heard great things about the temple. the truth is there is really not much you can see apart from a mass of tourists and monkeys, you can't actually get close to the temple. it's packed with tourists and it's just not worth it. recommend giving this one a miss.	14
818	the temple is located on the sea, and offer a fantastic view ! you can't go inside as it's only for prayers, but you ca' go really close to it. the olace is big, walk around the temples, there are amazing spot. and a little village all around.	4
819	greatest sunset ever in bali the temple is very unique and the monkey has been manage by the village so traveler having less worry about the monkey. there is free toilet and free wifi on parking area that provide by celular provider ,don't forget for this note : do not touch the monkey and do not feed the monkey if you meet them in temple area . happy enjoying sunset in uluwatu temple	8
820	nice view lake with temple in the middle the lake, quite cold because located in the mountain, so dont forger brong your jacket / umbrella, i come here and its raining	4
821	this is one of the principal temples of bali. this one is located on the top of a vertiginous cliff, with stupending views on the ocean and the surf below. the temple itself is reserved for worshipping, as customary. we visited it on a windy day, and we were annoyed by the monkeys.	2
822	the temple is not at all great. mostly closed and cut off from the public. the view however is amazing! if you do not have speciel interests you can skip the show. quite boring. be aware of the monkeys - arm yourself with a stick from the forrest if you want.	14
823	a long yet worthwhile ride to tanah lot temple which has a bee line visitors eager to catch the beautiful sunset. avoid the sunset time since it can be nuisance of traffic and delays. this beautiful temple offers beautiful views and it's a stony walk through the waves and sea water to the temple. worth a visit!	17
824	it's nice, you can enjoy with any kind of group you are (friends, family, couple or alone) my friend and i enjoyed it but remember you can also see monkeys at the nice temple in uluwatu with a gorgeous view	8
825	visited temple expecting the same as all other temples visited. but was pleasantly surprised. cost $3 australian pp was quite hilly at times but the coastal views were worth the walk. recommend seeing this temple if you see none others. watch out for the monkeys 🐒 they will grab anything within reach.	14
826	worth a visit for the beautiful sunset. i stay at pan pacific and was able to walk from hotel to tanah lot during low tide. less crowded on a weekday. sunset from 6 to 630. there are some restaurants near temple for sunset viewing. visitors not allowed to enter to worship unless accompanied by locals and in proper attire.	17
827	a spectacular setting for one of the famous temples in bali. it is not commercialised like tanah lot, so it has more of a spiritual feeling to it, so is better in that respect. the views of the temple from both sides and from the temple itself are well worth the effort to get to the bottom of the island of bali. we were told the monkeys were a problem, but we did not have an issue. there seemed to have been an effort to control this and we saw workers it the forested area quietly discouraging the monkeys from coming close to the visitors. there is a large stadium there which we assumed was for the fire dance, but we left before sunset, worth the visit.	2
828	sunset views are the best but this also attracts large crowds. small fee paid to visit the temple, but worth the cash.	4
829	beautiful with a great view. watch out the monkeys. protect your belongings. this place is a must visit place because of the kecak dance, at the end of the afternoon, and the sunset.	13
830	loved visiting here, the views were spectacular. so glad we went, the day we chose to go was excellent sunny but slightly overcast with a good wind which really helped in the usual bali heat! beautiful place.	2
831	the 15 km drive from kuta took nearly 2 hours. i went for the kecak dance. ok for about 45 minutes. this is a very popular indonesian tourist attraction. the place is swarming with tourists and while the view and sunset from the ocean side cliff is stunning - you'll have to elbow your way to a viewing position among the local tourists.	2
832	i can't remember entry cost into the temple, however there's a separate cost for the performance at 100k idr per pax. temple itself is not very big and look much like a fortress by the sea cliff. there's a spectacular view at this place but the monkeys are terrible and will snatch away your items. if your items are snatched away by monkeys, you can approach the temple officials who will chase down the monkey to retrieve your item for a fee. the performance is a must see. totally enjoy it and the performance is deep in rich culture. performers are local villagers that dance with such passion that surpass professional dancers. to see the performance, ticket sales start at 1700hrs and is first come first serve basis. there are only 800 seats. performance starts at 1800hrs and end at 1900hrs. great sunset view when waiting for the performance to start.	13
833	uluwatu it's situated at the beautiful cliff of mountains in uluwatu bali offering best view of ocean. we went to visit temple at around 5pm. it was crowded but we were just allured with the beauty of this place. we purchased tickets for temple and kecak dance for 30,000 idr. meet to take cloth to wear at the entrance which was free. kecak dance will starts exactly at 6pm.,you have to go but early to gather the place. try to get place in the middle and upper side so that you can enjoy the dance and the sunset too. hire the taxi which will take you to the temple, wait there and drop you to back to the hotel after kecak dance, because you will not get any uber or taxis at the temple after dance.	8
834	nice view but beware of the monkeys!!! the walk is very scenic and you will enjoy a breath taking view of the cliffs with the waves crushing against them and the temple in itself, is nice to see. you cannot enter it, unless you really want to pray (but anyway nobody was let in, as far as we could see), and not too big, so you won't need to long to see it all. it will take time to walk on both sides of it until the very end, we did only one side as it was long enough. but the real surprise was seeing monkeys stealing all sort of stuff, in the hour we have been there we witnessed the following (on the 21st of april 2018 at around 17-18 in the afternoon): 1 a lady got her sunglasses stolen, the monkey quickly broke them apart and started removing the plastic soft parts at the end of the glasses to eat them. 2 another monkey was eating pieces of an hawaianas sandal, probably also stolen by a tourist who maybe removed it for a moment and yet another was biting a little pink plastic thing (of this one i got a photo of). 3 a monkey grabbed the selfie stick and the mobile from a tourist, grabbed both firmly and tried to bite or scratch anyone who was approaching her to retrieve the items. the mobile finally got broken as she started trying to eat it, and at least the glass cracked as she was trying to find anything made of plastic. i never thought this was possible but the \sacred\ monkeys are actually starving and anything they see made of plastic they'll happily eat, my guess is because they have nothing else to eat. and they are very aggressive and try to steal anything they can, so please pay attention as they come out when you least expect them and even if they look cute, don't try to touch them or approach and keep all your valuables and anything made of plastic very well hidden. use your phone only when you are sure there are no monkeys around. i took a photo of one of them eating yet another piece of plastic, but i am sorry but i didn't want to risk taking photos when other monkeys were around to see my mobile ending up broken in two pieces in the woods. as a final note, the poor tourist who lost his phone tried to call some workers who came and followed the monkey in the woods but they were unable to retrieve it as the monkey was keeping it as its \most precious\ if you pardon the expression. it was astonishing to witness this.	14
835	we went there at sunset. unfortunately it got cloudy so didn't have a chance to see it. the temple itself is nothing special. you can't access it as it is reserved for people praying. you see nothing of it apart from the main temple building on top of the cliff.	4
836	this is a real nice place, and also a must see when you are in bali. a big temple area near the sea. it's a little bit walking in the water before you reach the temple it self. unfortunately was the temple closed, so you don't get up at the cliff that's the temple area. we didn't find out before we hit the water. but beautiful area anyway, just sitting and watching the sun go down over the sea. it's very special.	2
837	my first time visiting this temple and making me feel like 'hi-flying'! located on the sea-front cliff, this temple is totally rocking and has its own sacred and unique atmosphere. what a pity we had no longer time either for watching the kecak dance regularly held there on the evening or praying inside. must visit this place again next time i come to bali~^^!	2
838	the scenery here is beautiful and reminds me of the coast line of the great south, western australia. some amazing photo opportunities. best to go when not over loaded with tour buses which was our experience. otherwise it would be a peaceful reflective temple. be warned about the monkeys stealing your sun glasses etc and keep your distance, they're fun to watch.	4
839	this place is simply amazing! you can get to see the beautiful cliff, the sea and sunset (should reach about 5pm+ if you want to catch the sunset). the view is breathtaking! there are certain areas which allow you to take photo by the edge of the cliff but it is extremely dangerous as there is no safety railing at these areas. there is a possibility of falling off the cliff if you were to stand too closed to the edge. definitely no chance of survival if you were to fall off the cliff. i have seen some tourists standing really closed to the edge of the cliff while taking photo. imo, the management should build some safety railing at these areas. there is an entrance fee of 20,000 rupiah per pax. fortunately, there was no monkeys when we were there. initially we were still worried that monkeys might disturb/steal from us after reading so much about them online. this is definitely a must visit place in bali!	2
840	fantastic experience ! informative guide who had driver stop at coffee plantation, and a local rice plantation that served us fried tapioca and sweet potatoes. the guide went above and beyond, we learned so much about bali. temples were interesting!	2
841	uluwatu is one of the great temples in bali but it has become so run down, filthy, with plastic and rubbish strewn everywhere. considering the pitiful wages of local indonesians it should be so easy to keep this sacred site clean but no attempt is made. sarongs are free of charge at the entrance if you are not appropriately dressed but the attendants seem bored to death: others sell bananas \for the monkeys \ but unless you go first thing in the morning when the monkeys may be hungry don't bother. the monkeys are so fat that if you throw a banana to them they ignore it completely. we returned ours to be resold as we didn't need to use any of them, seems to be more of a money making venture for the seller than food for the animals. most of the temples are locked up for worshippers, but there were none when we visited, but still there was no access. it is just all rather shoddy and run down which is such a pity. we we very disappointed.	8
842	i bet everyone already knows that this is the view on indonesia's 50,000 note. this place is absolutely stunning! it's a touristy place, with lots of people but for once, the feeling of strolling down the place with a breathtaking view along with so many people is really wonderful. this is one of the attraction you wouldn't want to miss!	2
843	an amazing place but full of tourists. the crowds killed all the magic of the place. still, worth visiting. a very beautiful temple. just don’t expect to have an spiritual experience.	4
844	when we came it was very busy, place was packed for the fire dance but i would still recommend it. views are very pretty and the show was excellent	13
845	worth a visit walking around and visit with all the small shjops and bars... great bali feel... recommended	2
846	i have been to tanah lot when i first visited bali. this is my 2nd and it's still as interesting. i like the rock formation, the strong waves, mystical temples and the sunset. entrance cost idr30k per pax which will double from next month. highly recommended for each bali visit.	18
847	it's over crowed led repetitive and packed! didn't get to see the temple cause the dance went for a million hours, bet it's cool though, dance is good for kids.	13
848	its must visit place in bali also known as monkey forest. entry ticket is idr 50k and separate enterence ticket for kecak dance. the temple is located on the cliff but we are not allowed to go in. only locals can go in on some specific dates. day time is less crowded but its very hot. we went in evening and it was quite crowded but the its breath taking scenic at the time of sun set. at 6pm they have kecak dance/ fire dance - its a cultural show about ramayana. reach early to get a seat as its open place for sitting. we reached at 6 and dint have place to stand but later managed to get a spot to see the show. note - dont carry any thing shiny or food. monkeys there are very fast and snatches what it likes. even slippers :d	2
849	this temple provides the setting for stunning views. go (very) early so you can skip the crowds, and be patient if the weather doesn't seem great as it'll clear when the sun rises and you'll get a good view of mt. agung from the gates. there's a voluntary donation (which is nice to do to help keep the temple well-maintained), so don't feel pressured into doing so. this temple is considered sacred by locals and pilgrims, so please be respectful. the locals will tell you about the temple, the dos, and don'ts (don't show affection, don't sit on the dragons, don't go up the middle staircases etc). remember those, or you'll get yelled at.	28
850	uluwatu is one of the must see temples in bali. i would say the temple alone might not have been exceptional (i am from india and have seen temples across the world, cambodia, thailand, india and indonesia); however the location is what makes it visit - worthy. the ideal time would be to watch the sunsets. also you can walk from the temple end to the other end of the cliff which provides some beautiful views.	8
851	i went there for sunset and the view is truly amazing. it was quite crowded but still i could manage to get a front row spot to watch the sun set. the temple itself is quite simple but the scenery is unbeatable	4
852	must be the best temple in bali even it was so hot but my eyes can't stop looking at the beautiful beach and temple. really want to go back there and feel the sunset. recommended.	2
853	many people and crowded during our time of visit . jam for 1-2 hours just look for the parking lot . but , when when reached there . it's really shock to see the natural structure . so beautiful and is the best place for photo shooting . although we all tired with heavy traffic . but it still worth it . it is the place must visit during your bali trip .	2
854	this is a must do attraction. the scenery is beautiful, the temple is outstanding and the monkeys stealing things from the tourists is entertaining. seriously i could watch that for hours. i did have to yell at and threaten a monkey that stole my girlfriends sandal right off her foot, i got him to let it go but it has some nice souvenir bite marks in it. the downside: the traffic. we drove our own car here, but the stream of traffic and buses coming and going to the site far exceed the capacity of the roads in the bukit. this means that anytime not in the morning your travel from say the airport is going to be well over an hour one way for the short trip. coming or going for the sunset peak time and you could be on the road for hours of one way travel. seriously is a picture worth it?	14
855	this temple is one of the must visit out of many temples which are in bali. the temple has a nice location close to the sea and infact its surrounded by water during high tide. the place is crowded most of the time in and around as there are few other smaller temples in the area. if its bright and sunny you will get stunning pictures during the day as well as an extremely beautiful sunset. tip- don't hesitate to rope in the local photographers..they charge 2 dollars a printed picture but would be happy to help you with your camera as well.	2
856	uluwatu is famous for its temple, sunset and the kacak dance. situated on to of a cliff, this place offers some beautiful view and would capture your imagination. the kacak dance starts at 6 pm and cost about 100000 idr per person. get your sarong from the ticket booking counter and walk through the jungle to reach the temple. the jungle is full of naughty monkeys who are always on the lookout for food items, sunglasses and any other things which meets their fantasy. beware and be careful when you walk past them. i would definitely recommend this place and should be in ur itinerary.	8
857	gr8 place & a must visit to view the sunset.. entire place is scenic and beautiful.., crowded during evening hours, prior to sunset.. kecak dance is the most useless dance , have ever seen.. most of the people they were not enjoying and left in between.. it is not exactly the dance , it's just the play in local language.. and not exactly the fire dance.. think twice before going for the kecak dance.. after all its all money making business	13
858	very beautiful temple located in the middle of a beach. nice spot to see the sunset and enjoy the the view. along the cliffs are several bars to have something to drink and watch the sunset.	4
859	this place was off the charts. me and my son did the holy bath and it was invigorating. i got out feeling cleansed (unlikely lol). the culture here needs to be seen to be believed.	4
860	we are a couple that really like to adventure, and visit places. we were going there thinking about how it'll be nice to see that temple... epic fail there is no access to the real temple at the end of the cliff as it's reserved for worship. moreover, a \guide\ invited himself with us and when we decided to keep going by ourselves, as we initially planned, this \ guide \ who was absolutely useless - take a picture of that, oh and that ... you see the cliff ? - he had us pay him 100.000 idr ... even though he never disclosed it at the beginning. ( we never asked him to guide us ) however, the views from the cliffs of uluwatu are beautiful but can be seen from much better places ( hotel, restaurant .... )	8
861	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)	2
862	the best trip ever.. worth every single penny.. spectacular view of indian ocean will spice up your trip. suggest to join the kecak dance live drama as that will be peak of the trip. do buy the ticket early as it will finish quite fast.	13
863	this scenic temple is located within lake bratan, high up on the hills. you will not find a more gorgeous temple in bali when you consider its surroundings and cool climate. a must-visit without a doubt.	2
864	if we were staying away from tanah lot, i would’ve visited and then been disappointed. but we were staying in the tanah lot region so came by to see it and well, it was whatever. maybe i’ve seen way too many temples and sunsets that were far more beautiful and memorable but this felt like a waste of time. it’s crowded and obviously, because there are so many local and foreigners visiting, extremely dirty with trash everywhere. i decided to go early, around 6/7 in the morning, to get a view of it from one of the viewing points and take a couple of pictures but even then, it’s not great. the place gets so crowded even at that hour. there are tons of temples and sunsets that you can see but this is just average unless you feel that it has some significance to you. it’s charm of being a lone temple island is not as magical as it sounds. you cross the tanah lot market on your way and that’s worth a visit. all in all: 3/10.	17
865	uluwatu is a beautiful temple set on a great cliff face. once again only around $3aud per person to enter. i suggest with all temples to cover up. you will be required to wear a sarong at this one. we were warned of monkeys but did not run into any in the middle of the day.	8
866	pura ulun danu beratan is good pleace for visiting.because this one importan temple when you are in bali for holiday.beside of the temple you can to see beautiful lake in that pleace.ulun danu beratan is some temple as special for the farmer.everyday many local will be visiting this temple because very populer	30
867	the temple is built over a cliff . it is a very small temple but the architecture of the temple with natural beauty of the cliff is just a breathtaking sight . good place to view the sunset.	4
868	if you're in uluwatu you have to make your way to this beautiful gem. it can get a bit crowded for sunset so if you're just going for the temple i would suggest going earlier in the day. there are so many food stands and souvenir shops which is nice but as always i would suggest bringing your own water and snacks :) make sure you walk to the left and right side of the temple as the views are unique and beautiful in their own way.	8
869	beautiful temple,.. it takes hours to reach the top, but we were not strong enough to climb all seven temples... getting to the first one is a short walk and already this one is nice.. afterwards there is a 2km long way to the second temple, which can be done on a moto taxi for 20k.. but from the second temple it is a walk inside the jungle.. there are many stairs and monkeys.. the third temple is black temple... the rest w do nit know :)	14
870	very interesting to see the temple and the beautifuk lakeside so peaceful and a quite even with the tourist, stroll and walk around in the garden admire the flowers trees and the temple also the surrouding hills create a peaceful atmosphere. lots of balinese statues hindu a must see if you are in the area.	2
871	one of the nice attractions in bali. very relaxing spot with a lot of fishes (koi) in the pond. very scenic.	2
872	the temple is one the more famous temple sites on bali. the majority of balinese are hindus. this temple is sited atop a scenic seaside cliff. the best time to see pura luhur uluwatu is at sunset. unfortunately, every other visitor to bali will have the same idea and so it can get very crowded. i would suggest getting there early, closer to 4:30pm or so. this will give you enough time to see the temple and still have time enough to get good seats for the fire and kecak dance performance which runs from 6-7pm. make sure to bring a small torch along if you intend to stay for the dance as it will be dark when it is over and you have to negotiate steps and some uneven terrain in the dark. finally, you hear quite a bit about the aggressive macaques at the temple site. please believe most of what you read. be prepared. keep the number or loose articles you are taking to a bare minimum. do not leave sunglasses on top of your head. they are quite bold and know to target children, the elderly and the handicapped.	8
873	could only take pictures from far. we weren't allowed to go in the temple.. the entry fee was 60.000rp per person..	4
874	i was warned well in advance about the monkeys and had nothing aside from a fully closed backpack and a camera. they did not bother me at all. you pay for entry (your driver will help you) and are given a wrap if you didn't wear long pants. you can't go in the temple but it's worth it for the photo opportunities at sunset, even if you are fighting to keep others from appearing in your photo... the kecak fire dance was the highlight of the visit, which lasts one hour and is done in a small outdoor amphitheater. they pack it totally full on the concrete benches, so there are no \aisles\ to speak of. make sure you don't have to go to the toilet, or leave early because it will be difficult to move once seated. it's a great show and worth the cramped quarters. a good tip would be to wait and go in just before it starts because they'll seat you at the bottom row - not only can you get out easier but the white \monkey\ may just involve you in the show...	13
875	the temple itself was very nice to look at, amazing sunset views, and the temple itself is quite extraordinary. however there are some obvious let downs because it is a iconic tourist attraction there are tourist everywhere which make it a bit less enjoyable.	4
876	very nice location on the lake. the tide was low but i think it must be much more suggestive when part of the temple becomes an island. the only problem is that the place has been turned into a big playground for kids. there are restaurants and shops	4
877	this was one of the quieter places we visited during our stay in bali. we visited late morning and there were only a handful of other tourists. the landscape is beautiful and very well maintained. walking along the stepping stones was lovely. i recommend a trip to this peaceful place!	2
878	gorgeous scenic spot of volcanic lake, temple and gorgeous gardens. we were lucky enough to visit yesterday when there was what looked like quite a special ceremony. although there were a lot of tourists the place has a very peaceful atmosphere.	4
879	the most important temple in bali, the last remaining sacred and secluded major temple. lempuyang, from the words lempu meaning lamp/light and hyang meaning divine/ sacred, means sacred light. a huge hindu temple complex in the mountain of the same name. lempuyang pura history is as old as the origins of balinese itself. it is recommended to have a guide from the pura, preferably a pamengku (temple priest), to explain the aspects of the temple. the temple complexes are divided into three sections : penataran (lower), madya (middle) and luhur (high). the grand architecture of three doors candi bentar is part of penataran temple. this part of the temple is the outer mandala, a preparation of oneself to purify oneself before the procession to the middle and high temple. from the penataran lower temple, pilgrims must passed a paved road (20-30 minutes walk to a steep climbing road), motorbikers are available to transport pilgrims. it is recommended to ride this motorbike to avoid early exhaustion before the real 1700 steps climb. it cost 1 euro for the motorbike fee. at the end of the ride, buy some drinks at local foodstall, as foodstalls are becoming rare as we enter into inner temples. the middle section comprises of temple for purification (usually have water pond for purification), and temple for worships.large structures, high stone walls can be found in this section. dont miss the stunning view to the rice terraces in the valley. leaving the middle section, passing bisbis pura (temple of sprinkle water) and pura pasar agung, which is made from carved white stones. from pasar agung temple, you must climb 800 meters to reach pura luhur (highest temple). dont miss to see the stunning scenic view of the ocean and the valley in one panorama. mythical origins. from the mythical origins of the universe in india hindu system, from the mount meru, the axis mundi of the universe, the god pasupati sent his children geni jaya, with putra jaya and devi danu to save the bali island from sinking into the ocean. geni jaya, as a god, resides in the pura luhur in lempuyang, at the top of the lempuyang mountain. geni jaya then have seven sons, known as the seven rishi (sapta resi), which is the ancestors of the balinese people. geni jaya, has four brothers, which the five of them are referred to as the five pandits. one of geni jaya brother is mpu barada, who has a son named bahula. bahula married to ratna mangali, the only daughter of calon arang. in this famous legend, mpu barada defeated calon arang, the greatest witch in all balinese history. from ratna mangali, mpu barada has a grandson named angsokanatha, which is a famous javanese poet, famous and knows as mpu tantular. calon arang was believed to be reincarnated as rangda, one of the most famous icons in balinese mythology.	28
880	you feel good there though you are surrounded by many peoples.cafe near by has excellent views of the temple too.its sad that we are not allowed going into the actual temple.but you see nice view of rice farming too on your way to the temple.	4
881	something different from the usual sand beach and temple. this place allow monkeys to roam around freely and it a nice walk with monkeys playing among themselves. worth the visit definitely	14
882	the temple itself isn't that great compared to other balinese temples but the sight of the ocean waves crashing into the limestone cliff is certainly worth coming out here. upon entering the grounds, ur advised to remove anything that can catch the attention of the monkeys around.	2
883	what's not to love about a temple surrounded by water! so peaceful and tranquil and not at all crowded. bring your suit and towel if you'd like to go for a refreshing swim. it was a real treat!	4
884	worth it to visit. the gardens are so beautiful to walk around in. you don't need a lot time here unless you plan on staying and swimming at the pool here. though the pool seemed to be full more of the locals then any tourist. when you get there they will try to talk you into getting a guide but you really don't need one, you can always just google any history and also our driver we had for the day gave us a short description. its an amazing place to go and take pictures when your in bali. the ponds also have some of the biggest koi fish i have ever seen.	2
885	ive seen pictures of this temple and it was stunning. was a bit disappointed when i got there as it looked so run down. i wont deny that it was a nice sight, but i feel it was deserted and empty and that made it look kind of sad. its probably better at festival times	4
886	probably one of the most known places in bali and also one of the nicest. definitively it's worth a visit. the only issue: it's crowded, especially on the sunsets, so get ready for lot of sellers & tourist around.	2
887	great visit. got to see the beautiful temples by the sea. waves made it look extra good. lots of markets in the complex. don't need too much time unless you want to eat at the restaurants. worth the visit.	4
888	we went there on our 1st wedding anniversary and it was awesome. although we could not go to the temple as the tides were high and so the entry was restricted. but the view is out of the world and it is a very peaceful place.	4
889	our family travelled to bali, and visited many places suitable for the whole family. jimbaran bay was one of the many destinations reccomended to us by our driver. jimbaran bay was beautiful, as we watched the sunset on the beach. the restaurant was literally, on the sand! it was an amazing experience and we couldnt of done it without our amazing tour guide who helped us in every way he could. i would reccomend agung raka ( rocky) as your driver, he was very funny. he can be contacted on 081 236 53891, or agungonly@yahoo.com :)	2
890	had a lovely visit here amazing views but not enough time. we left at 4 from seminyak to see the sunset and fire dance. bit of a rush trying to have a look and being pushed and shoved by people trying to get a look of the views... very busy to get seats for the show and it is a long show and a lot of people started leaving before it was finished🙃. probably would come in the morning when it is not so busy and enjoy the temple and surrounding views.	13
891	visited around 4pm, it was very crowded. it costs rp 30,000 for tourists. you are provided with a sarong to cover your bare legs before entering the sacred area. people wearing trousers are still required to wear a sash as a mark of respect. unfortunately you cannot enter the sacred temple but can look inside through the gate. it was feeding time for the monkeys so didn't see any. it's a very scenic part of bali, however, we didn't get to see the sunset as it was cloudy. paid rp 100,000 per person to watch the kecak dance. the dance arena was overcrowded & staff kept sending in more people after the dance commenced, thereby spoiling the experience for others.	2
892	lake danau and the pura ulun danu bratan, bedugul - a very famous attraction in bali and one not to be missed. the temple sits on the shore of the lake and even thought it had rained when we arrived it did not detract from it's beauty. it had a very ethereal and calming atmosphere about it. the lake and temple is 1200 metres above sea level with a very cool temperature and because of this the clouds form just over the lake. if the weather had been a bit better we would have rented a boat to take us around the lake. this is one of the very picturesqued temples in bali and glad that we did the tour.	30
893	very nice place. must visit when u go to bali we enjoyed watching the sunset from the restuarants has a terrace with tanah lot view. suggestion: *place signs (no swimming). *place garbage basket in all over tge place to keep it clean. * security staff next to beach.	2
894	nice sunset but so many tourists, for me not worth it. there are more nice temples with less people.	4
895	fun outing, well worth it, number of other tourists manageable thanks to good organisation. reasonable price (standard entrance fees around bali).	2
896	lots of fish! i saw people swimming in the pool.....there is a hotel for those who want to stay there. this is a beautiful water palace i have seen in bali.	2
897	wayan was our driver, we book the tour through bali vacation trip, he sugget us to start a bit early by 4am to skip the crowd. he was amazing by the time we ger there 10 mins before 6, we get number 13, is not to much waiting cause we get there early, but like 20 mins after there are a lot of people coming in non stop. he is very knowledgeable about all the place that we visited, excelent english speaking guide really recomend him and if u wish to come here u can contact him in whatapps +62 81320587422	2
898	visited this temple area over the busy xmas / new year period and was over whelmed by the tourists of all nationalities jockeying for a selfie spot. the temple area is set amongst nice grounds and surrounded by lots of markets. we only took photos from up on the ridge as it was a hot and windy day.	4
899	day 3 in bali and we pay freelance tour guide of rp400,000 for one day trip sightseeing & it is worth it👍	2
900	the best part of the visiting uluwatu temple is to watch balinese kecak and fire dance with background stage, set with a fantastic view of the sunset.	8
901	stunning views of the ocean from 100 meters above! the kecak dance is worth a watch. can spend an evening.	13
902	this is a real respite in the hustle and bustle of eastern bali. a water palace constructed in mid 20th century, this was an ornamental palace with swimming pools. still has the same purpose and is restored after damage from the eruption of gunnung agung in 1963. worth the reasonable admission charge for a place to just relax or swim. the grounds are beautiful and peaceful once you run the usual gauntlet of stall outside. there are plenty of views of rice paddies, hikes and accommodation in the area, or just come for a relaxing break from the activity. well worth the time to stop for a while and think how things were in the past.	2
903	i think this is one of the 5 most beautiful temple in bali... the others are tanah lot and pura danu bratan , besakit, bedugul . just be careful like every where with the monkeys. they stole sunglasses joaillerie bag all what they can they can be a bit aggressive sometimes. avoid to bring anything that they can steal you, at 5 pm we enjoy the ketchak dance closed to the cleef wonderfull moment , dont forget your sarong and bell and you are ready for nice sunset	2
904	it has no historical significance. its hot, sticky with lots of people crammed into an open air arena. then the main event starts which is just annoying. alot of people walked out early, including myself, left 20 minutes into the show. its the kind of this that can give kids nightmares.	13
905	i have visited tanah lot temple and its one of the beautiful place i have ever visited. although it is very crowded. but it's such a beautiful place that you will love to be there and enjoy the scenic views and amazing sunset view. it's a place of scenic views only nothing much to do you can take a walk and click beautiful pictures. there is a line of shops and restaurants you can eat and drink. not good for shopping as you can get the same things in city markets. so it's a place of relaxation, scenic views and amazing sunset view.	17
906	we visited this tourist attraction in eastern bali--- and loved it. the water palace is set in beautiful lush gardens, amid gorgeous fountains, stunning views around it. definitely unmissable if you are in that area.	2
907	like most temples in bali you have to pay to get in and cover up .be careful of the monkeys as the will take cameras etc ,the view is spectacular,the entrance fee does not cover the dancing ,that's extra.make sure you allow for traffic as it took us 2 hours to get back to legian.	2
908	interesting temple on the lake we did like it a lot but the down side it's that very busy. but worth to see it	4
909	we visited a handful of temples while in bali. this was our favorite. it is very unique and tranquil. you can easily spend an hour walking around. be sure to go beyond the koi pond and explore every corner of the property.	2
910	like most of the temples in bali, foreigners - irrespective of their faith - are prohibited to enter the temple interior. so one can only see the temple from outside which is nothing spectacular. however, the temple is on a cliff and the view down below of the indian ocean is breathtaking. be aware of the monkeys and do not sport any jewelry or fancy sunglasses for you never know they might be gone. best is to keep your hands free. also be aware of locals offering to protect you from monkeys for about 100k idr - actually it is not required if you are cautious i did not witness the sunset or the kecak dance - so no comments	2
911	even though it was cloudy and started to rain it was a pleasant visit. worth 50,000 rp or 5 dollars canadian is was worth the money, just expect a high volume of people as it most definitely appears to be a hot spot for tourists. definitely walk to the left of the temple, people seem to crowd the front for pictures not heading to the west side. they have restaurants here but didn't stop in any of them. looks like good local places to eat a cross the street. i brought my book to read it the clouds brought rain making me hide. all in all, it's a nice place. really neat to see locals dressed up for the celebrations that have been occurring all week, but probably more busy due to that.	4
912	if you’re in bali you have to come visit this temple as the view is spectacular. i recommend getting here for 5pm so you can get a ticket for the kecak fire sunset dance. then try get a seat early on before it starts at 6pm as it fills up quickly and you don’t really want to be sat on the floor or stood at the back. the sunset is incredible here and is an excellent backdrop to a bit of cultural dancing and a very unusual sight. if you’re young (like drinking) and want to make the most of your trip to uluwatu from seminyak or kuta then visit single fin after for a couple drinks and a boogie. the main negative about this temple is the extortionate prices the taxi mafia try force on you. no grab pick ups from here.	8
913	it was so bad. the costumers services was so horrible, and so rough. i am real originally indonesian guy, and they still asked me my id. i highly recommended, not to come to this place.	2
914	we stayed here just for one hour and beside the beautiful ocean view there was nothing to see. the temple was closed for the public and there was nothing. everywhere was garbage. i expected this place would be more tidier and greener as they call it a temple but i can tell you - there are different places in bali which are more beuautiful and worth to visit. ;)	2
915	this is by far the best view we've seen in indonesia. the view of the indian ocean from the cliff is simply amazing. best place to get photographs specially for couples. the only negative is it's extremely crowded and you really need to beware of the monkeys there.	2
916	a really peaceful and tranquil place to visit. lovely gardens, pools and water features make this a must visit while in bali.	2
917	came here to see the temple and dance. so crowded! gorgeous views of the ocean and an expansive temple with lots of stairs. dance is fascinating with the chanting men. it lasts about an hour. the performance itself was fantastic but the rain and last minute distribution of rain ponchos was a distraction	13
918	uluwatu tours is an bali full day tour package to enjoy sunset view facing to the indian ocean at uluwatu temple with some group monkey nearby bali uluwatu tours is an bali full day tour package to visit uluwatu temple with sunset view facing to the indian ocean and watching the beautiful kecak and fire dance performance near the temple. this uluwatu tours package will start to visit garuda wisnu kencana cultural park planned to be established a landmark or bali mascot, in the form of a giant statue, that is a statue of lord vishnu riding a garuda bird, then continue the tour to visit the beautiful padang - padang beach is one of the best white sand beaches, then we continue to visit the main site is uluwatu temple is amazing temple sits on 70 meter protuding cliff with some group monkey nearby, then the tour will continue to watching kecak and fire dance performance near the uluwatu temple, is a balinese dance takes story from fragment ramayana, and then the last site during uluwatu tours is visit jimbaran beach to enjoy the delicious seafood dinner on the beach at local restaurant. the uluwatu tours will bring you to the wonderful memory with three different experiences as the feature of this full day tour package. our professional bali tours driver is always outstanding offer our best services to keep your convenience trip along with private full air-conditioning car transfer to complete your enjoyable on bali uluwatu tours.	8
919	really enjoyed hiking around the temple complex along the cliffside during the sunset, we headed the warning about aggressive monkeys and minimized things they could steal, although one did jump on my girlfriend's head to get her hair band but otherwise i kind of enjoyed watching them run around. great views!	14
920	tanah lot is a beauty, we reached there in the evening around sunset, and we were told by locals that the most beautiful sunset you can see from tanah lot, it was true. there is a bazaar which sells local handicrafts, balinese traditional dresses and few restaurants, it looks like an old fashioned open-air bazaar. this temple which was built in 16th century for worshiping goddess baruna, is one of the most beautiful sea temple i ever saw. the only thing which was disturbing that this is overcrowded, and you get so many people that it becomes hard the feel the beauty of this place, but it still worth to visit	17
921	beautiful temple perched on an enormous ocean cliff... quite nice just to walk around looking at the architecture and the ocean... watch out for the monkeys...	14
922	beautiful, stunning views. don't be disappointed with the size of the temple, go there for the views and spend more time to walk along the cliff	4
923	overcrowded attraction with everyone trying to get the photo between the gates. have to pay 2-way fee for special vehicle to go up and down the hill from car park. then pay again for entrance fee and sarong rental. the colourful sarongs make good photos. it’s 2.5hours drive from ubud and for what it is, we’ll only visit once.	28
924	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.	2
925	very good hindu temple, thy has fire show inside which is chargable around 100000 idr, best thing is cliff view from temple, tats amazing. lots of monkey inside temple.	14
926	lovely temple, set on a cliff side with stunning views of the sea and sunset. entrance fee is 30,000 you should cover your knees and shoulders, they also hand out sashes for both men and women to wear. very busy best to go early morning or late evening	4
927	we visited the temple during our time in bali. while the temple is beautiful we thought it was overly crowded for sunset views of the temple. next time we will try to get to the temple for sunrise which should be less crowded. overall it is still worth a visit to see a beautiful sacred structure in the midst of crashing waves.	2
928	now, i understand that this place is sacred to the hindu culture and religion and i can and do respect that. it holds great value to the balinese but as a traveller it is was one of the most underwhelming sights i went to see in a 10 hr trip to see the top 5 places. it was a 2 hour drive that i cant say was worth it for me, but considering the reviews i am the odd one out. there is a cultural village that situated around the temple for you to walk around but it sells the same things that every other store sells. however, i took advantage of the pretty surrounding scenery and took some good photo's but not worth a 2 hour journey from ubud.	2
929	eventhough tide was low. lovely cool weather. big lake with several water activities available. many photo options. visit this temple along with jatiluwih rice terrace. sarong not required.	4
930	come prepared to spend a day here...usually done as half day trip...our taxi cost us 36 dollars. round trip. it gives a/ c , comfort in the heat, and flexibility. shopping is much cheaper in tanur lot...i found myself buying ....as things were priced at 10.000 rupiah - 1 dollar. , the site iis beautiful , and temples are a treat to watch. if you are a sea person find a restaurant with a view and spend some time watching the waves...drinks and food are reasonably priced compared to sanur, it is much cheaper. i had some great photography with the waves against the stones...simply superb. wind the day up with watching the sunset. relatively crowded with plenty of tourists. our driver was flexible, took us back via some shops and terraced fields...	4
931	loved it here!! the temple is so serene and beautiful. landscaping is stunning and the statues are really cool. i enjoyed a refreshing swim in the spring fed pool.	4
932	when one sees the photos, one feels it will be a very long climb/ haul to the temple ....however despite the spectacular cliffside location, the ullu temple is quite accessible. beware of the monkeys but it's pretty to see everyone wrapped in these vivid purple sarongs and enjoying the many photogenic views ......the panorama from the side of the temple view is particularly appealing.... due to time constraints, was not able to do the sighting deck walk ....but the temple is lovely, nevertheless and surely merits a visit	14
933	after visiting several temples on our 2 week vacation, we had seen a lot. the uluwatu had a beautiful setting with ocean views. it was nice to walk around and just take in the pretty scenery. as everyone else is saying, the monkeys do snatch and grab your things. just be smart about it and they will leave you alone. i carried nothing with me other than my phone, which i hid.	8
934	we have visited this temple in the begining of september. the climet was great not so hot with a little wind. the park or garden how they called it was breathtaking. the pools are nice and clean with a lot of fish. if you want you can even take a bath in one of the pools. to see everything - garden, pools, temples - and have a little rest i think 2 hours is enugh.	4
935	the image of a sunset view over the tanah lot temple is one of the iconic images of bali. due to its popularity, a lot of crowd gathers there during the evening and good vantage points to catch the sunset in peace and unhindered are virtually unavailable. but that takes nothing away from the beauty there. not only is the sunset view excellent, but coupled with the gradually increasing sounds of the waves crashing on the rocky coasts, the entire experience becomes mesmerising. there are a lot of shops and food / drink stalls around the temple. the lawns and the surrounding grounds are also very well maintained. there is a lower ground that can be easily reached where the waves crash on our feet as the size of the tides increase in the evening. all in all, it is a very picturesque visiting spot.	18
936	another place to visit for spectacular sunsets. i would consider this better than tanha lot and suspect it would be as great at sunrise too. you cannot escape the crowds though and they have a dance performance here. lots of place to wander around. visit is recommended.	17
937	it's more of a water garden than a temple. it was nice to visit, but very small. unless you are in the area, i would skip it.	4
938	amazing seaview with nice walk.do not miss kecak dance after the sunset.as wellhave to recomend uluvatu beach &village.	13
939	this area is quite relaxing. lots of areas to relax and enjoy the scene. the temple is not as impressive as i had thought after looking at so many online brochures and instagram. it's good to check it out though. one check marked off the bali must do list. btw, there are small eateries in the area if you're hungry.	2
940	nice scenery. great environment. the temple is very unique. just couldn't understand in the middle of the hill... you can find a lake.	4
941	we visited tanah lot as part of a day trip with a local guide and needed about an hour to explore and get a good look at everything. it’s a pretty temple with the main feature built on a rock ‘island’ about five metres off shore. you can walk over to the temple island if you want. you’ll have to get a blessing (donation optional) to step foot on it and you can only climb up about ten steps halfway up one side, but it does make some nice photos. it was - all in all - ok. worth a visit but be prepared for masses of uncontrolled tourists, locals peddling you photos and gifts and a fight to get in for a good look at everything. all of this bearing in mind we went in low season! the temple itself isn’t spectacular but is worth seeing to understand local style. bear in mind that you can’t visit the main areas (for good reason, it’s still an active temple).	17
942	far away from all the chaos kuta and seminyak uluwatu is all way south on top of the massive cliff with amazing views. you will see a lot o monkeys, so be careful cuz they can try to take some of your stuff, specially if you are caring a plastic bag. other than that is nice to see them running around! went for the sunset which was awesome and stayed for the balinese show they have there.... pretty cool, definitely worth all the time to get there.	8
943	the best way to enjoy the splendid and spiritual view of the temple on the cliff is to turn right to the walkway leading away from the temple. when the sun is setting down, the view is just splendid. therefore, come here in late afternoon. try to avoid morning or noon as it would be \sun burning\ here. the other important, or critical, thing, please watch out for the nasty monkeys. don't bring glasses, plastic bags, or holding anything attractive on your hand. camera is generally ok, but i run into two incidents that two gangs of monkeys who showed interest in my dslr. so do stay in group, preferrably with your local guide or driver, if you plan to stay for sunset. and stay alert all the time.	14
944	not bad. nothing spectacular but incredible views and cranky monkeys. a large temple with some good cliff walks	14
945	this is a bali must-see. the temple grounds are beautiful. lots of great photo ops. but the monkeys are super aggressive. do not wear your sunglasses on your head, don't wear anything in your hair, don't look them straight in the eyes because that is a sign of aggression. one monkey stole my daughters sunglasses off her head and then another monkey later tried to steal the flip flops off her feet. even with that experience this is a must see temple.	2
946	perfect site. the combination of ocean and the temple is very appealing and peaceful. you will never see such a place anywhere in the world. mostly recommended.	4
947	the temple itself is average, but there is no taking away from the fact that the views are stunning. definitely worth visiting for some great photo opps. we also passed by a few monkeys but they seem largely harmless.	14
948	three years ago, i was appalled by the commercial circus surrounding the temple. probably not the intent for a religious site. can't imagine things have improved as visitors come in by the bus load. if you want to go see a temple, you have thousands of better options on the island. as much as i think the temple itself is beautiful: you're better off buying yourself a post card. chose to fly over it this year, rather than visit it.	4
949	reached here around 3pm, have done all the walk around, still too early for the sunset, thus purposely wait till 5pm. the view is great, the wave with bubbles is amazing. my husband's sunglasses was grabbed by a monkey, we paid for a lady who safe the spoilt sunglasses. did not stay for kechak show which personally feel rupiah 100,000 per person is expensive.	13
950	impressive temple by the lake in a beautiful garden setting. a lovely photo opportunity; what you see of the temple in pictures is pretty much what you get. very busy with tourists, though we were there at midday so shouldn't be surprised by that. the location lacks interpretive signage. worth a long drive? we'll leave that up to you to decide!	4
951	if you have to see a bali temple, this is one to see. the temple is built on a rock and accessible if the tide is low. worshippers come and bring offerings to the temple and the ocean setting is beautiful, especially at sunset.	2
952	it is a very nice temple. it was quite cold when we went (it is quite high and a cardigan comes useful). in the afternoon low clouds are coming and that is why we didn't get the best pictures. the water in the lake was low, so it looked a bit muddy at the shore.	4
953	the uluwatu temple is a must tourist site to see if you visited bali. you can see the beautiful temple that located above the cliff and side by side with the sea. you can also see the kecak dance, the famous traditional balinese dance. i suggest that come here around 3 pm so you can see the sunset.	8
954	this was my 2nd favorite temple we visited in bali. there’s just something magical about it . i’ve literally had dreams about it afterwards ! it’s so beautiful and unique and right of a lake. definitely worth a visit!	2
955	we walked to the temple early in the morning before the tourist buses arrived and almost had the place to ourselves. the entry fee included the mandatory sarong. the monkeys may try and take any non-secured items; however, we just paid attention to where they were and what they were doing and had no problems. it's not as worry-some as a lot of the other reviews make it sound. there's not much to see in the temple itself, as part of it was under construction and the main part you couldn't enter unless you were praying. however, the view is incredible and is worth the trip all on it's own.	14
956	we always had good time everytime we went here. beautiful place, beautiful view. there is a special culinary you only could find at tanah lot. fruit salad tanah lot, mix of peanut, palm sugar, some chili, salt and many kinds of fruits. so fresh and yummy.	17
957	beautiful location, they actually have a temple with a very charming sea view. the temple is located on a cliff and the ocean below it. this temple has beautiful sunset view in bali.	2
958	beautiful temple and grounds. watch out for the cheeky monkeys! we watched the kecap dance at sunset ( a bit overpriced but....) which was entertaining and fun. get there early (starts at 6pm) to get a good piece of concrete to sit on!! great tradition	13
959	tanah lot is very beautiful place. temple is located on a small cliff detached from the main land. we visited the place @4pm. we could not visit the temple cliff as it was closed for public due to heavy tides. there are lot of restaurants on the cliff. must vist place and enjoy the sunset.	17
960	this is a good place to get awesome instagram photos. note that you have to get there early. you have to pay idr100k, which covers the bus ride up and down the hill, and the sarong which is used to cover the underpart of your body. i went there at 8.30 am and there were about 100 people in front of me. waited for 3 hours before i got to get my pose. you will be given 4 poses at heaven's gate. jump shots are allowed but no lifting of legs as exposing anything under the sarong is considered unclean. females who are menstruating are not allowed to be in the area. on a clear day, you will get a clear view of mt agung.	28
961	beautiful place but overly crowded with tourists. you might need to wait for your turn to take pictures at particularly scenic spots. stay till 6pm for the kecak dance which is an attraction. beware of monkeys who are trained to steal your items like glasses, shades, camera, phone, and other loose items. you will have to walk quite a bit as well to see the whole place. don't worry if you are not dressed appropriately as there will be sarongs (long cloths) provided for you to wrap around your waist before you enter.	13
962	we hired our own driver to drive us from kuta to mount batur, about 2 hr plus ride. went there close to noon time, lucky it wasnt that hot and quite cooling. we didnt have our lunch there as read some of the reviews foods aint fantastic & its just the view that people ate there. i think the fee for three of us excluding the driver is $30k, really forgot how much it is, going bali is totally paying entrance fees here & there. our driver dropped us & we walked down against the direction of traffic to do our own walking & photo-taking, had awesome view of the lake & the mountain, clear weather with little or no clouds on that day. we knew that some of the locals will charge you money if asked to help you take group photo, we met a group of malaysian tourists that are also trying to take group photo. lucky, we approached & helped each other took photos. we saw the locals used metal chain to tie puppies each & not together along the pathway, no ideas why they do that, & the puppies are wailing & are scared of people. one thing i dont like is that the locals that are trying to up-sell their products like to touch your arms whenever they walked past you. other than that, it was a view worth going to.	2
963	we visited pura lempuyang as part of a day driving around east bali and it was well worth the visit. unlike other temples, there were no hawkers touting their wares, and we only encountered a handful of westerners whilst walking up to the temples. the first temple is the largest but i would recommend continuing up the hill and the 1700 steps (bring water, but if you forget there are stall located at convenient points on the way up) and visiting the others. unfortunately due to time constraints we were unable to visit the one on the summit, however, i think my legs had probably had enough doing the other five! the views from the different temples were fantastic, particularly when the cloud cover moves away from mt agung. this was one of the highlights of our balinese trip and i would recommend that it is considered as an alternative to some of the other temples.	28
964	well maintained pathway that makes an interesting walk. entertaining, with the water sports to watch and nice interaction with the local balinese	2
965	and i do appreciate the irony in this comment as one of the thousands of tourists that make.this such a popular spot. as beautiful as the temple is it is marred by the crowds jostling for a selfie at the lake edge. gardens are beautiful with lots of other photo opportunities. other detractors- an additional cost to use the facilities! plus the mess just through the gate at the shore edge - why not just fence this off? worth a visit but plan to avoid crowds or manage your expectations accordingly.	4
966	uluwatu is just like tanah lot in terms of location. both are well located on the edge of the moutains. nice place to enjoy the nature and take some photos but be careful with monkeys especially the big ones. they are very vicious and agressive when taking away small belongings such as glasses, hat, water bottle, sometimes even cellphones !!! my friend's glasses were taken away and bit by one big monkey !	8
967	you need to pay 30000 rupia pp,for entrance fee best to go is reach there by 5pm fm kuta to uluwatu temple take abt 1hrs for taxi (cost 400,000rupia including waiting time 1hrs) suggest you book their local day or hlf day tour its much much cheaper... there is a cafe up there and chill, rest till sunset nothing much except beautiful sunset	8
968	the view is good once you reach there. however few issues with this place - 1. you can go by online taxi but you cant be picked by online taxi when you wanna go , so if you come in 70000 idr , you have to go back by local transport taxi in 200000 idr or 20 sgd , they will intimidate you also and they may even chase you if they realize now you wanna go home and you may try to get online taxi by walking away from tanah lot area. 2. there are many temples in bali but similar to other temple there is no idol and everywhere its mentioned o entrance beyont this point\, so what you actually see is just the architecture on the building which is almost similar like chinese/buddhist temples. 3. there is a place for \holy spring water\ where they anoint you however they are bit rigid if you want to pass by them because they want your donation in the box before they give you a flower and anoint you (fool you in short). 4. there is another small place which has so called \holy snake\ but when you go there, the fake saint tells you to pay at least 5000 idr though its not a big money but i did not have change so he dint let me see the snake lol. better to go thailand rather bali as its only traffic , loot of your money and nothing else.	18
969	it's a good place to introduce yourself to balinese culture. kecak dance is a great entertainment for the whole family, and at the same time it gives you time to see the beautiful sunset.	2
970	bali is an amazing and beautiful country with a rich and vibrant culture. the beautifful hindu temples and symbols are everywhere. the rice paddies dot the landscape and the beaches are busy with swimmers and surfers. it is truly a memorable experience - and in addition it is great value for money!	2
971	50k entry fee for foreigners pros - lots of monkeys everywhere. hold tight to your water bottles etc or they will take them! - lots of different paths and areas to explore. there's a really cool path next to the water where you can climb big rocks! cons: - check which day you go. we went on a sunday and a lot of the temples were closed for prayer. -	14
972	bali is a beautiful and amazing place. there is sooooo much to do on the island you could spend a lifetime exploring it. going for just a week or two is tough because inevitably you are going to miss a lot of amazing things. let me help you make sure you don't miss quite as many awesome experiences. skip uluwatu temple. just don't even bother. i had a great time at uluwatu temple but only because of my travel companion, my wife, not because of the attraction. for months before going to bali we kept reading about how the temple on the cliff is made of coral, a marvel of architecture, all this. we saw the photo of it perched precariously on the cliff. we were excited about the prospect of this magical temple. fast forward to us being there. the spot where those famous photos are taken? that's as close as you are going to see the temple. you can go up some stairs and get closer but the pagoda shaped temple is not visible anymore. the sign says only priests are allowed in the courtyard where you can see the temple. we've read any hindu can go in to the main courtyard, this contradicts the sign that was posted. if that is the case, however, i suppose my wife is not hindu enough for their tastes. whatever the case may be we couldn't go in the temple, we couldn't see the temple, we couldn't get close to the temple. the monkeys are mean. it's been written about here a lot so i won't go on too long. we had no hats, no sunglasses, no food. we started walking down stairs and we got a weird following of angry monkeys ala west side story. we screamed at the. and dispersed them. i've been throughout india. i've been to major hindu temples there. while in bali we stayed in ubud and went to many temples there. no matter what temple you are at in india or ubud it is very clean, like a holy place should be. at uluwatu there is garbage everywhere. i can't believe it's not written about more. i suppose everyone is distracted by the view and don't realize they just walked past 5 trash bags of kindersport wrappers and milo cans. being that there is an entrance fee you'd think they could pay someone to clean the place up a bit. definitely cheapened the whole experience. in conclusion, if you go to uluwatu temple go for the view, don't go for the temple. or instead go to bali, stay in ubud, avoid uluwatu and save the money you would have spent going there. once you get back home plan a vacation to san diego. we have cliffs that fall off in to the ocean too.	8
973	an excellent and spectacular view. this is a must visit place for every visitor in bali. the view down the cliff and the view of the temple far away, takes you to a different world. the massive sea and the breathtaking view of waves is beyond description. there were no monkeys around and we were told that the place is being guarded to scare off any disturbing monkeys.	2
974	it’s literally just a picture! i had read reviews about queues for a picture and assumed that would be ok as i had a temple and views to look at - not the case at all! arrived in car park 45k each for a shuttle bus to the the temple. when bus parks there is a hill to walk up- manageable but there is locals with mopeds who will drive you up the hill if wanted for a fee. temple ticket an additional 55k. arrived in the temple we are number 191 they are on 104! this is not how many people are in front this is how many groups. so say a group of four - allowed four poses/photos as a group and then each person within the group is allowed four shot so around 20 photos for a group - this takes time! our driver said we were there in a good day as normally the wait would be longer. we waited about 2.5 hours, there is nothing to do there whilst waiting nothing to look at no where to go you sit and wait as the guys call out numbers and “next pose” every few minuets. yes i love the pictures but if i knew it was nothing other than a picture we would have given it a miss	28
975	this place was packed when we got there around 3pm on a public holiday. rp20k for adults and rp10k for kids entrance fee. bring old bread or buy fish food if you have got kids. completely different atmosphere to ujung water palace and different look, so well worth visiting both. we spent ages walking the stone path among the statues in the pond feeding hordes of massive fish. my son loved it. the indonesians had a huge amount of fun too and either you can join in and have fun too or keep to yourselves. we shared our fish food and bread crumbs, took photos and waded around. there is a swimming area with fountains and inner tubes too if you are so inclined. the water is ice cold and refreshing. way more touristy than the other water palace.	2
976	i want to give this attraction a 5-star rating however the plethora of morons running around taking selfies with their selfie sticks made me want to hurl them into the lake (the person and the selfie stick). i have visited this attraction before the invention of the selfie stick and easily would have rated it a 5 star then and even though the setting is the same, the lake is the same and the temple is the same i have to say the sheer number of tourists spoil the attraction. no one is even attempting to try to take in what they are seeing or feeling the beauty around them. i am a photographer so i am not anti photos but for the love of god put the camera down and just take in what you are seeing. take some photos by all means but also take in the scene you are taking a photo of. i bet if i asked the majority of the tourists that were spoiling it for everyone what they had taken a selfie with, that they would have no idea. whilst i was there, a ceremony had begun as part of the celebration of galungan. a very unique and special period in the calendar for the local people. i was happy that i at least got to see this and hear some of the fantastic drums that they play. there is a small admission fee: 50,000rp. also on a side note, whilst they don't make you wear a scarf and sarong please be mindful that you are in a place of worship for the local people. ladies...i know it is hot and the trend is to wear shorts with everything on hanging out but just don't! it is disrespectful and you look like a western fool with no respect for the local culture. anyhow if you are in the area then stop by, would i recommend that you travel a great distance to see ulun danu bratan temple, probably not. sad because it is actually very beautiful but the ugly tourists spoil it.	4
977	a pleasant surprise in the middle of ubud. we almost missed this attraction because after hearing so much about aggressive monkey's in uluwatu, we didn't want to end our vacay with an animal attack. but this was not the case here at the monkey forest sanctuary. the monkeys are well fed. well fed monkeys means monkeys on their (for the most part) best behavior. just don't run or scream. the grounds here are beautiful. in some places, it's hard to believe you're in the middle of ubud. we spent about an hour walking around, taking photos, etc. nice place to visit.	8
978	very beautiful lake temple. very picturesque location and surrounding. this a must visit as part of bali tour.	2
979	this is the bali i remembered ten years ago or more. make the most of it because it looks like it might be heading in the same direction as kuta and legion..... i hope not. it is a very family friendly region. there are no night clubs so it doesn't attract \that sort of crowd.\ we loved it! it's the bali i remember and hope doesn't change too much. by the way...... if you are looking for a place with some great places eat...... look no further.....so many places to eat! so much great food!! you will be spoilt for choice!!	2
980	the place is one of the highly recommended places to visit in bali. we arrived at uluwatu temple at 5pm from blue point. we were shocked by the beutiful screnary at uluwatu. unfortunately we could not able to see sunset this time as cloudy weather. howerver the beutiful scene still attracting us so much. monkeys there are fierce and become \robbers\ most of the times. my younger child's slipper was stolen by monkey when she was carried by my wife while enjoying the view out there. it was lucky that the temple guard able to get the slipper back from monkey.	8
981	this temple is set high above the cliffs of uluwatu. the location is beautiful but the temple itself is nothing too spectacular. gets pretty busy with bus parking for big tour groups from other parts of asia. worth a visit but nothing too write home about.	8
982	well worth a look. a truly beautiful setting. we didn't spend long here but fully appreciated the view along the cliffs ... right on the bottom edge of bali. a small $2aud entrance fee ... and you must have knees covered to enter - a coloured sash is offered if you have above knee length shorts..	2
983	the views from this temple are amazing. it sits on a bluff overlooking the ocean. there are monkies everywhere so beware they will grab your sunglasses or anything you don't have secured. don't miss if you're in bali.	2
984	i'm sure being here at sunset would be beautiful, but we enjoyed our visit to tanah lot. it was crowded but not too bad. we enjoyed the views and watching the surfers below. there are many shops similar to others you will find in the tourist areas. we did try the luwok coffee here. although we hear it is very inhumane how the coffee is harvested now so we were conflicted but decided to share a cup instead of everyone buying one. it was tasty and if you didn't know what it was you wouldn't be able to tell. we also had chili seasoned bbq corn - that was delicious.	17
985	located on a cliff this temple offers a breathtaking view of the sea. the kecak dance is something you can skip. the path to the main temple looks quite a bit however it's walkable and the stairs are not so tiring. beware of monkeys. don't you try to fool around with them. try to wear full clothes or they will give u purple and yellow scarfy skirts to put on. don't miss the sunset. it's wonderful and worth capturing in your cameras.	13
986	we had visit this temple with our local guide. we have been warned, that this his is one of the most visited places in bali, and it is true, so be prepared to crowd of turists everywhere. the temple itself is quite small compared with other temples and you have to wear a sarong inside. if you do not have your own, the service will borrow you one. the way to the temple is really beautiful, but watch out the monkeys. if they jump on you, they will immediately take everything you wear as a jewelry(i would not recommend to wear some, because of injury when monkey tries to grab something) or you have in you pockets of a bag. after visiting temple, we saw amazing kecak performance. only small flaw was, that service tries to squeeze all people in, so they put plastic chairs to back of stage too, which ruins a little bit the atmosphere of the performance.	2
987	i felt blessed to be able to visit lempuyang temple it was a nice drive to get there a short walk up the hill to the temple we went early so as to miss the crowds and heat well worth a visit	28
988	this uluwatu temple is an ancient balinese hindu temple built on a high rocky cliff by the sea in badung regency, about 25 km south of kuta. the entrance ticket costs 30,000 rupiah per adult. based on the information printed on the back of the entrance ticket, this temple was established in the 11th century by mpu kuturan during the reign of the king called sri haji marakata. visitors are given a bright purple sarong together with an orange coloured waist sash to wear before entering the temple area. just like in other temples and holy sites in bali, tourists are not allowed into the temple itself. however, from afar the view of the temple perched on the steep cliff facing the indian ocean is just spectacular, with the blue water and white gentle waves below. it is also one of the best spots in bali to view the sunset. it is a great spot for photography enthusiasts. an interesting kecak dance is performed at a special arena by the cliff at 6.00 p.m. every evening. this dance is based on the ramayana epic. visitors have to purchase a ticket costing 100,000 rupiah to watch this performance. as we sat on the concrete terrace seat of the arena, we could see the sunset while waiting for the dance to begin. for the whole duration of the one-hour show, the male performers would be chanting 'kecak, kecak, kecak\ loudly and continuously. no musical instruments were used at all. watch out for the white monkey character that would climb up the terrace and mingle with the spectators adding a touch of humour to the atmosphere. visitors walking along the pathway along the cliff towards the temple must be very careful of the mischievous monkeys. these monkeys are notorious for snatching the belongings of visitors. they target colourful items like sunglasses, caps, small bags, cameras, handphones and even slippers. some tourist guides were seen bartering with these monkeys to get back the snatched items by offering them bananas and peanuts. but not all of them were successful in retrieving their belongings. so, visitors should beware of these \long-tailed snatch thieves\. make it a point to visit this temple when you are visiting bali. highly recommendable.	8
989	we visit the temple today, it was very windy and crowded. we couldn't take a picture without at least 10 other people in it. maybe a line would be better to let people in so it never gets to crowded. but if you know the history behind it, you have must seen it once	4
990	located at east coast this another place you have to visit on the same time you visiting lempuyang temple also amed with black sand beach	28
991	while we missed the sunset due to a lot of cloud cover, we still got to enjoy the beautiful view. they say the temple looks like a ship floating on the water at high tide which i would travel back to see as it was low tide when i was there.	4
992	situated on the sea. beautiful temple. with a story a snake is also kept near that people see that also. not allowed inside the temple without local attire.	4
993	nice attraction with the possibility to take a refreshing dip in one of the big pools. good for slow walks in the manicured gardens or take adventurous steps over the water. the adjacent restaurant is good however a trip nearby brings you to bali asli with a more breathtaking view while creating a pleasant outing.	2
994	this was night to remember. we cane earlier, what i suggest to all, and stroll around finding best spots to view magnificent temple. latter we went to dance that lasted 1 hour and enjoyed every minute. must see!	13
995	uluwatu temple is a hindu temple is located on the cliff bank in south part of bali peninsula. its on a cliff above a coral reef, as you look over the walls, you can see the waves crashing below you. there is a small forest surrounding the temple, which is full of monkeys, uluwatu temple means the temple built on the coral reef. this temple was built in the 16th century and we were told to visit it at sunset. when we arrived at approximately 17.30 the car park was packed. you need to dress with modestly or you will be given a sarong. we found the majority of people visiting that night quite disrespectful, inappropriately dressed, throwing rubbish on the floor, sitting on the ancient stones. it was very difficult to be able to see anything due to the sheer mass of people. i would advise anyone going to see a sunset at another location ( ie rock bar..in my next review) and go to this temple in the early morning to really enjoy its magnificent ambience.	8
996	i was here in the morning of 1st june 2017, the view really wonderful, however we cant wait for the sunset due to many schedule, therefore we came back in the evening of 3rd june 2017 to be a witness of the amazed sunset and beautiful tari kecak. to see tari kecak you need to pay idr 100.000 per person, tari kecak start from 5pm to 6pm. you need to be in the place of tari kecak at least 1 or half an hour before, to get the beautiful spot of both sunset and tari kecak.	13
997	sometimes there is a little crowdy so i recommend to go there on the morning. but in general the olace is fantastic, one of the best on bali!	2
998	the temple is a must visit if you are out this way. 1k rupiah to park scooter, 30k per person to visit temple. the views are amazing!! and the walk isn't too bad, we did it in the midday sun so it was a bit of a sweat. there are a lot of moneys around who will jump at the chance to take sunglasses or hats off people's heads, a lot of the time dismantling them, or if you are quick enough to get a staff member they may trade back your stuff for a banana, hilarious to watch. hide your stuff!	4
999	the first thing you need to know is it's very touristy here! don't think you can pay for parking only and walk over to the beach and see the sights without paying extra because you can't so you might as well pay to enter the temple and parking is included. we got there for sunset but unfortunately high tide was imminent so we didn't get to go into the temple because we had stopped at all the market stalls along the way! don't get distracted!! my phone also ran out of battery as we arrived, i took one photo and it promptly turned itself off but we were more concerned about how we were going to find our way home than the missed photo ops!! luckily there was a selection of bars overlooking the temple that served a delicious bali cocktail so not all was lost!!	4
1000	one can visit this place for this amazing view from the cliff. you are not allowed inside the temple and hence the visit for it is not worth. but view is excellent. one thing- beware of monkeys.. they literally snatch sunglasses, purses and slippers .. enjoy	14
1001	if you want to visit 2 or three temples in bali. this myust be one of them. nice tanah lot with lots of cheap markets nearby	18
1002	been visiting this place several times, and i am impressed with the great architecture of temple that set on the small rock by the sea. the view around and the main temple is great however since this place is a favorite site in bali it's always busy of people visiting. if you like to take a great photo try to come in the morning :)	2
1003	the temple sits atop a cliff. while it is beautiful, the temple is filled with monkeys. when you reach the temple, tourists are warned to keep all sunglasses and anything and everything that can be stolen, not by men, but by monkeys. these monkeys are aggressive and i have seen them attack tourists in order to get food. the temple is not very accessible and i feel that while it is nice, one may not miss much if one doesn't visit this place.	14
1004	go see it at sunset, such a beautiful place. the markets here a great and lots of places to eat. on low tide you can walk to the temple and get blessed by the monks.	4
1005	wonderful place! although we were there during high tide, we enjoyed the beauty! we were unable to get to the temple itself, but still spent a lot of time walking there.	4
1006	me and my partner spent our anniversary in bali and this is one of our anticipated place to visit..it was majestic..the location is beyond perfect..the place was clean..they will always remind you to put your stuff in your bag because the monkeys might get it from you..my only concern was they should allow guests to enter the temple without wearing the proper attire..ive seen a lot of foreigners that are half naked around the temple..i dont think its the right place to show off your toned body because its very disrespectful..none the less..it was still a very nice experience..	2
1007	this place is as divine as it can get. it is like a jewel of bali. ever inspiring and relaxing .looking forward to visit again in future.	2
1008	ok. i just like saying naughty monkeys. we didn’t have any trouble. the temple is wonderful. the fire dance was very enjoyable. a bit touristy because of the crowds. but i would still highly recommend.	14
1009	one of the most beautiful places around bali. from the top you have a great view and a long track down to the beach. but it worthwhile.	2
1010	a must visit in bali. you just cannot miss this beautiful temple. mostly crowded all through the day. you cannot enter the temple as a visitor. lots of restaurants outside the temple compound.	2
1011	dont expect much. you wont see much and you cant enter the temple but there is a long path along the cliffs with nice view. then it is nice to wait for sunset here but like another but like other famous spots in bali, this place is also really crowded. on the other hand there is lot of space for everybody. and beware of monkeys :)	2
1012	great view down cliff to water. watch the cheeky monkeys they liked to chase me! we had a driver for the day who was able to come into the temple with us and show us round plus tell us a bit about it and take pics of us.	14
1013	a nice place. visit before sunset. nice landscape. should plan to spend atleast 1-2 hours before sunset. must visit in bali trip	2
1014	great landscape on a cliff over the indian ocean. if you are lucky you encounter some wild monkey surrounding the temple. sadly temple entrance is not allowed you can see it from distance only. best of this site is the fire dance perfomed during sun set. a great play to experience... truly magnificent and unique. recommended to do.	13
1015	i've to come a 2nd time to catch the sunset view. my 1st visit 2 years ago was raining and high tide. this time was perfect ! we had a very beautiful sunset view and a very low tide where we can get down and walked on the usually covered area by the sea. took many nice shots at tanah lot temple and don't forget the batu bolong a little further up north.	17
1016	one of the best locations in bali especially for a temple. perched on top of a cliff on the beach/sea, the view is awesome. you can go to the other end of the cliff to have a full view of the temple. the temple is not very big, but its the location which is truly breath taking. the highlight is the show in the evening, where they enact the story from ramayana. indians can easily relate to the story. the costumes are awesome. the highlight is there are no instruments used for the music, its just a group of men who sing with some rythemic chants. be careful with the monkeys.	2
1017	this was our last stop for the day with our guide. set in a beautiful park, it made for a lovely wander through peaceful gardens. great to see the place that had inspired me to visit bali - probably one of the most photographed places in bali! worth a visit, especially when you have lots of other places to visit along the way - is a long drive from ubud.	2
1018	the temple is located at the cliff side, so the view was nice on a good day, especially for sunset. lots of group tourists here and so make sure you go early to avoid the crowd. quite a bit of walk too. so, beware if u are traveling with elderly or kids.	4
1019	the temple is set high on a cliff and the views are amazing. apart from that, the location was average. didn't really get to see much of the temple itself as it was being used by locals at the time to worship. guides seemed more interested in getting their tip than actually telling you about the place. for the history buffs, a must visit. for the tourist, ok i suppose. be prepared for bus loads of other tourists at the same time.	4
1020	fabulous day out visiting tanah lot temple, canggu and surrounds including berawa beach with our favourite driver wayan. thank you wayan for another wonderful day out and sharing your great knowledge of bali. if you are thinking of organising a private driver or tour through bali sun tours, i strongly recommend you request wayan as your driver.	18
1021	went to together with my wife i would enjoy going out we stayed in a hotel next to this temple . will highly recommend to everyone to visit this spot on the island it's just grate	4
1022	temple is built on hill slope. great view of ocean from temple. temple is ok. its famous for kecak dance which is nothing new for indians. hence i suggest you to avoid the dance.	13
1023	it was on the last day of our tour when we planned to visit tanah lot. just before finalizing our tour, it is one of places that i would really love to go to. i even insisted to my partner that we really go here. upon reaching the place, i just thought that it has some scenic similarities with uluwatu temple but when we go further, i realized its peculiarities. indeed, there is nothing much to do in the area but you really wonder as why a lot of people are coming in the area, both foreign and locals. we were both fascinated with place. we can't stop but to take photos in every angle as possible, both from a far and near the temple itself. when you go nearer to the temple you can't really avoid to get wet because you really have to pass by along the shoreline. no regrets of getting wet at all, it was great!!! i would highly recommend this place to anyone who plans to visit bali.	8
1024	this is a nice and beautiful place in bali. climb to top of uluwatu cliff and beautiful ocean on the horizon	8
1025	lovely temple with awesome view, the temple was so clean and well organised.the kecak dance there is something not to be missed and worth every dime. the performers were really good especially the monkey god, really played the character well.	13
1026	upon arrival, you pay about .50 to enter. it is worth it. a black temple was fascinating to see. there are loungers and umbrella,too. go early because the parking lot can become full quickly, if you are driving.	4
1027	very beautiful spot to visit, nice to have a walk around and see the beautiful temple. it's very very busy with tourists so get there early.	4
1028	the temples are located on a lake in the mountain area - very picturesque and really worthwhile to visit. would recommend this as a must see attraction in bali	2
1029	a traditional balinese dance with no actual fire until the last 5-10mins towards the end of the show. it is performed at an outdoor theatre which is subjected to weather condition. in order to get good seats, it is recommended that you arrive an hour or 2 earlier for sight seeing as the cliff view of uluwatu is breathtaking and you may take up to 30mins to take a sneak peek of the temple and some selfies, before proceeding to the theatre to warm up the stone seats. show starts near last light and when it ends, the whole place is quite dark with no proper lightings towards the carpark. a handout of the story play was given out to you when you purchase the tickets. as there wasn't any commentary at all during the entire dance other than the topless shirts saying kecak kecak kecak... all the way. you would have to refer to the piece of paper to follow the story and at times get lost on what is happening. wasn't the ideal fire dance show in mind. in addition, monkeys are free to roam around the temple and theatre as well. hence be cautious of your own belongings especially loose items such as glasses, necklaces, headphones, caps are targets for there monkeys to steal in exchange of food. overall, not worth spending money on this dance show. uluwatu temple and the cliff was worth visiting thou.	8
1030	the scenic views of the temple and shoreline of course are well worth the visit on their own. but the gardens and grounds leading up to the temple are beautifully kept and worth taking the time to explore. the markets are quite good too.	4
1031	this is a good example of team work between humans and nature. building a temple on the cliff retaining the original beauty of nature. too good. we had very little time and hence could not witness the sunset. but am sure i will visit bali again and enjoy the sunset here. plan your visit for the sunset. a work of caution - please do not take sunglasses or spectacles with you to this temple. the monkeys are very naughty and just spring from nowhere to grab your eye wear without warning. we saw three tourists whose glasses were taken away by the monkeys and throw it down the cliff. also avoid taking water bottles too. be careful with cameras.	2
1032	located in the south of bali, uluwatu temple is a very popular attraction. the temple is beautiful, but nothing spectacular, it's absolutely the views that make the trip worth it. the views of the ocean and cliffs are just remarkable. it gets extremely busy, in the evening as people arrive to see the temple and sunset. beware of the monkeys!	8
1033	i was waiting something more impressive than that. the temple is small. but you will find great view above the sea, and the cliff. be careful with the monkeys, because they steal everything they can.	14
1034	very beautiful scenary with a large space to walk and enjoy the beauty of the temple, as it is surrounded by the lake and with awesome views of mountains, worth a visit.	4
1035	the scenery at uluwatu temple are absolutely beautiful. especially during sunset! be very cautious with the monkeys and your belongings. the roam freely and will try to steal anything dangling or loose items. don't wear your glasses. if you have prescription glasses to see, do not get close to the monkeys. hold on tight to cameras, phones, purses, the lot! lots of steps if you want a higher view, but is not necessary to capture the beauty. ofcourse, as it is a temple, dress respectfully and covered. small entrance fee : rp. 20,000- (approx. 1.90aud) also very worth while staying for the kecak fire dance at sunset. tickets: rp. 100,000- (approx 9.50aud)	8
1036	another wonderful balinese experience, to see the temple perched out on a rocky outcrop with the surrounding sea. you are able to walk out to the temple at low tide & you can be blessed by a monk. a very moving experience . the photo opportunities are wonderful & if you go later in the afternoon, the sunset can be beautiful .	2
1037	this temple though smaller than many is in an incredible location on a cliff overlooking the indian ocean. the views were fantastic. the highlight though was sunset and the kecak dance in the amphitheatre located on the cliff top. i recommend you get there early for a good seat as they packed them in on our visit 27th dec but it was incredibly good value at $10 per adult. the show lasts about 60min as the sun goes down with the finale the monkey god and a chicle of fire something to see. the costumes were great, really informative little guide notes given with ticket help you understand what's going on. we really enjoyed it. watch out for the monkeys though. they steal glasses and bags and demand a ransom to get food! you have been warned they are highly motivated thieves.........	13
1038	going down from the hill into the beach is the best view. along the cliff is carved figure of ramayana story. you can rent a canoe and going into the middle and step on the riff. watching the sun goes down from the riff is one of my best experience in bali. you can use the canoe for two people, try to bargain the rent price. we got 40k rupiah. try your bargaining skill. there is changing room in the shore, you can change clothes here. there's also some shop selling snack and water here, just bring your cash. canoeing to the middle on the riff and go back will take about 30 minutes. depends how fast, you can try to have canoe race in here. great experience	2
1039	we visited here with our experienced tour guide who gave us a great deal of insight into the temple. a great experience and a happy memory to take with us. our tour guide was fantastic and gave us far more insight into this temple than we would have had if not used this company who can be trusted: suweca bali tour mobile : +62-8123-6111-705 (24 hours) email: suwec4@gmail.com .	2
1040	about 45 minutes from kuta lies the uluwatu temple. you pay to get in and must wear sarong. the site is looked after by a large number of ushers and monkey wranglers which is important as some if the tourists and most of the monkeys are rascals. unbelievable scenery from a sacred spot.	8
1041	if you want to walk to the temple, be here in the late afternoon or evening because it low tide at this period. in my opinion, visit in the morning is much more pleasent, you will see the temple surrounded by water, like it is float.	4
1042	we hired a driver to take us to uluwatu and rock bar. he suggested to pick us up at 3pm as the traffic can sometime be terrible . he was right , so glad we left early , had plenty of time to wander around uluwatu and get some splendid photos. be aware the you need to be covered up . we had two sarongs with us, but i think they were making you hire them otherwise, so perhaps just chuck one in your bag. $6 aust each for entrance , upon the decent into the temple there were monkeys everywhere. not the biggest fan of monkeys i kept my distance , but other tourists were feeding them , gardens were neat and well maintained. nice time to visit early afternoon not as many tourists , got some great photos. avoided the sunset rush , worth a look ,	8
1043	one of the best in bali. could be overcrowded but still worth a visit if you want to meet balinese culture and take great photos with the temple and sea behind !	2
1044	sunset in bali is beautiful, sunset view from seminyak beach is breathtaking! it is one of the must go and see places every time i have a visitor in town, it’s a signature snapshot of the amazing bali!	2
1045	one of the best temple in bali, we visited on feb and wasn't crowded. weather was a bit rainy but we enjoyed our time.	2
1046	uluwatu - the temple on top of the cliff, is on a gorgeous expanse of cliff overlooking the indian ocean. the sunsets are gorgeous, and you get the best view sitting in the amphitheater on the left side, as seen from the stage. the kecak dance is the highlight of the night, with the white monkey stealing the show. it's about an hour, and starts at 6, right as the sun is setting. they tell the story of the ramayana, a classic hindu tale. the dancers are a great effect and background, something i've never seen before.	8
1047	this is a beautiful temple and sunset here is amazing, but it's very overcrowded so looses a bit a what should be special about it, also a lot of cheap crap tourist shops to pass before you get to the temple. best thing was probably seeing the thousands of bats fly out of te cave for the night.	4
1048	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.	4
1049	the temple is beautifully and views from cliffs spectacular. fair price for entry and free to park beware of haughty mommies as they will steal anything in sight although if j am not mistaken they seem well trained to bring most items back to trainer who rewards with banana or nuts ! plenty of refreshments at reasonable prices easy to find	4
1050	this beach/temple was the best money we spent all day (also went to dreamland and padang padang and pandawa). the view is absolutely breathtaking and you also get a little taste of the naughty local monkeys. highly recommend!!	14
1051	this is an amazing place. i came here just before sunset which is when it is the busiest with tourists. the view was great and the temple was neat to see out in sea as the tide was in. on the shore side, there are street vendors/markets, cafe, restaurants, and shops that sell wooden penises?? be aware that there are many mosquitos/fleas here especially at the luwak cafe shop where there resides a few luwak and a giant 2 feet long bat. i felt 10 bites at once. other than that, the time was amazing. would recommend this temple.	4
1052	amazing views!! the temple is huge! before the entrance you confined something to eat, some stores and bathrooms. the ticket price unfortunately is more expensive for foreigners, just like many other attractions in indonesia. watch out with sunglasses, caps, necklaces, purses and slippers, tye monkeys are really smart/aggressive there..	2
1053	nice beach and temples, great for sunset and waves watching. there's also kecak fire dance every afternoon.	13
1054	like most of bali - this location has been over \tourist-i-fied\ we drove for about two hrs to get here (traffic was horrendous). we timed it for the sunset and low tide (so that we could cross the narrow stretch of water to the temple. it was a lot of effort for something we could have experience much closer to our hotel in nusa dua. the shopping was also nothing to different from what you can get in the big markets in kuta. if you want to do a temple trip rather get some advice from your hotel concierge and use the long travel time to go somewhere a bit more unique and out of the way	2
1055	the view of the cliff, combining with the pura, and the sea, and sound of waves just make the perfect ambience to feel the beautiful of bali. don't miss the sunset when u visit, its just breathtaking. beware of bad monkeys! they wait till u're careless and suddenly taking our things. if ur things was taken by monkeys, find the watchmen of the area, and they will help u taking back ur things by giving the monkey food.	2
1056	nice place to visit and must visited as you are in bali . the place not very historical or old as you imagine. however the view on of the sea amazing and had good time.	2
1057	great temple walk, ideally get their mid afternoon to see the various temples and then the evening performance. please note: -beautiful cliff landscapes -parts of the temple walk surrounded by monkeys. -worth sticking around to see the sunset and cecak dance in the evening! beware the horrendous traffic that follows as 500+ people all exit the venue	13
1058	mixed feelings about this temple. definitely scenic, provides lovely photo opp with lake and mountain as backdrop. not as large as i had expected. adjacent temples are out of bounds. down side is sheer number of tourists (admittedly was weekend, but not near peak season in bali) and tacky amusements nearby, which all detract. worth visiting, but combine with other destinations to make long time in car worth while.	2
1059	i wish we spent more time here as this was one of the most photo-worthy palaces on our brief stay in bali. good stop for all ages. while traveling the road to amed you see the sign for the water palace, so you really must stop. the grounds and statues are so artistic and detailed, you'll find many cool carvings and koi pond to photograph here. also many folks are here to enjoy the pools themselves, i did not even realize there was a changing house and pools for rinsing off in the fountains as well. a very relaxing walk which was good stop on a long hot drive to amed area. there is also a nice looking restaurant on site.	2
1060	tanah lot temple........visit for sure if visit bali. the temple is at sea shore. though we visited the temple at noon but spend good time with a feel good factor. came to know how the temple body merge ( half ) in sea water at the time of high tide at night and at early morning priests pay offerings to god from the other portion of the temple. normally people visit the temple at evening time to see the most beautiful sunset. there is a local market adjoining temple parking place . i bought lovely wristbands made by colorful beads to gift my friends and i must say....they loved them. you can also try local food at the small restaurants.	18
1061	saw the beautiful sunset while having an early dinner at the ganesh cafe. beautiful weather and you can also see the planes landing at bali airport.	2
1062	tanah lot offers a far superior visitor experience to the overcrowded and difficult to access temple at ulu watu. the views are just as dramatic though more unexpected and the grounds are far superior. there is a pleasant, extensive, pedestrianised street market leading you to the temple and overall it would be easy to spend a very pleasant half a day exploring here.	17
1063	we visited uluwatu temple in september 2018. our driver , putu, was great as he knew exactly what to do . he bought us the tickets to watch the ketchak dance , which is a must. as with all temples in bali you have to wear a sarong , which the temple will give you. i would recommend you actually take one with you on holiday. buy the tickets for the dance as soon as they become available, just check times when you get there (afternoon time). the view of the coast is amazing from the temple and the sunset , as with most sunsets in bali, is amazing. be prepared to walk and its actually quite fun walking through the monkey forest as you enter, be careful to not even leave your sunglasses on your head as they will take them . again i would like to also recommend our driver who took us around bali whilst we were out there. from airport pick up to touring the island to dropping us back off at the airport. feel free to contact him, his name is putu (johnny) tel 0062 821 4416 2100	8
1064	there is the temple with surrounded with the wave of shore, it's amazing and fantastic. and you can see the beautiful sunset and nice beach.	4
1065	a few days ago, i was visiting uluwatu temple with 3 girls. even though the sign discourages wearing sunglasses and hats, as well as carrying bags/purses, it was quite obvious that these monkeys were trained to snatch items from tourists. locals asked us if we wanted to pay for a bodyguard of sorts against the monkeys but this sounded ridiculous to us. we've been to monkey forest in ubud and the monkeys weren't bad at all. a few would snatch a beverage or snack, but not attack a woman for not giving up her sunglasses and bag. on 3 occasions i saw women get attacked and had their hair pulled and heads/arms bitten by the little devils! i nearly had to slap the monkeys away from the threatened females. these 3 attacks happened within the first 5 minutes i entered the forest area that lead to the temple. since the women were traumatized, our trip was cut short and i was the only one to ascend to the pinnacle for the remarkable view. the day was too bright not to wear sunglasses so i advise future tourists to wear cheap sunglasses, long sleeves and pants (to avoid the monkey scratches) and to bring something to protect yourselves. in addition, make sure to stick with the other people as the monkeys often single out lone tourists or small groups.	8
1066	at first you’d scratch this down from your list because it’s gonna be a boring temple blah blah , but it’s not! the view is amazing and it’s very enjoyable walking to the temple, a lot of monkeys along the road so watch out your belongings ! it’s a must visit and it’s cheap	14
1067	what a fabulous sunset point. high on the cliff. sea below. waves crashing. fishermen with their boats. amazing cliff to watch the sun go down with your dear ones. beautiful surroundings. must visit when in bali	2
1068	had a great trip in bali with family in nov 2018. uluwatu temple has great views of the sea and sunset is nice to see when up there. if you have older parents i would not recommend to make the trip all the way to check out that mini temple up the cliff, as there is nothing much to see. overall great place to visit and can catch the kecak fire dance in the evening. do remember to purchase tickets early.	8
1069	we had a great afternoon, walked over to the temple where we were blessed, absolutely beautiful sunset, a must do.	4
1070	yuck! crowded, packed with vendors, stalls, huge parking lots. my least favorite kind of place. no access to the temple, just a silhouette at sunset. my husband walked across the tide only to be sprinkled with water \blessed\ and asked for money. don't waste your time. so many beautiful temples around to go to.	4
1071	this temple placed at the top of cliff side, you can see beautiful indian ocean from here. but watch your belonging because there's monkeys here. they liked to steal your hats, sunglasses, or any other things that made them interest. you must visit this place when you travel to southern bali.	2
1072	i have visited uluwatu temple at noon as i wanted to see the sunset at tanah lot. i am sure that uluwatu sunset would have been better ... the temple is nice and the walk around it gives spectacular views over the indian ocean. the entrance is some 2 euro/ pers. sarong included. the monkeys are very intrusive; we have prepared well, with no sunglasses, no earrings, no plastic bags , so they have stolen my wife's slippers ...	8
1073	this is a very popular and highly commercialised attraction so expect crowds at all times. but it is definitely a must visit if you are in bali, and even with all the stalls and visitors there is space to sit and reflect and enjoy the the location.	2
1074	get there early to nab a good seat so you can be mesmorized by the dancers. explore the entire temple. you will be blown away. oh yeah, there is also the view! breathtaking.	13
1075	simply stunning we went in the morning so we could walk over to the temple. getting blessed was a great experience	4
1076	you arrive, park, enter and pay your money. you are then faced with rows and rows of shops that will offer you everything g from clothes, souvenirs and food. forge on down the path till you enter the temple gates and it all changes. no shops lovely grassed area and beautiful blue sea water. the paths are well maintained. we arrived at high tide meaning that we could not go over to the actual temple but it was a nice view. heading right from where you enter go up the hill then look back at the temple, a lovely vantage point to take the area in. there are people willing to take a photo for you and print it for you to take home. your choice. they were not pushy. a great place, lovely once you get past the shops.	4
1077	take a day trip here. see and hike some of balis most beautiful terraces. visit the craft shops on the drive back to ubud. go early to. eat the heat and shop your way back.	2
1078	uluwatu temple is a tourist attraction that almost every one goes. what is special about this place is the temple ofcourse but also the cliff which is extremely high and beautiful. you can enjoy nice breeze sitting on the top of the cliff and enjoy waves hitting the shore. beware to wrap up before it gets dark as the monkeys gather up very fast and very quick in snatching cameras/stuff/tripod.	8
1079	i throughly enjoyed tanah lot. i didn't go for sunset so it wasn't as crowded, but the place is very beautiful to see. it is great when the waves are crashing against the rocks, makes for a great photography spot. definitely a must see in bali for cultural purposes.	18
1080	the ulun danu bratan temple is a beautiful temple on a mountain top; which was another highlight of our bali trip and a definitely a must visit, especially if you are a nature lover. we enjoyed the serenity of the place, it lovely garden and the spectacular view of the mountains and the lake.	30
1081	i live nit far from the temple i guess it used to be nice now its overun with korean and chinese tourists in large groups wondering around lost being harassed to buy sarongs and the myriad other junk they just put the prices up again you can pay to have a snake put around your kneck other than that its a tiney rock island that you can only get to at low tide they put some seasnakes in the cave before the tourists arrive so you have something to look at otherwise theres nothing there except tourists its a guide and minibus scam something you could do without	4
1082	great to see, you pay 50k in each (about £3/4) and then if you want to watch the dance it’s another 100k (£6-8). the temple has monkeys and it is there home, it’s a shame to see locals who have people on tours showing slingshots at them. good to see, but wouldn’t go back.	13
1083	nice temple to visit when you have the chance to pass by. i wouldn’t spend a daytrip on this. it’s very busy and besides the pictures you see everywhere there isn’t a lot to see. it’a very hard to get a good picture without people on it. we’ve visited while we were on our way to ubud from the south so it was a nice break.	4
1084	try to go very early before it gets hot and crowded. i guess it is hard to see this attraction in peace as there are always so many other tourists around any time of the day. but definitely try to go early if you can. we were going to see it in the evening but once we realized how hectic it would be getting around and especially on leaving the temple after the sunset, we were glad we decided against it. aside from the temple building which you view from the distance, there is nothing much else to see there. so take a quick tour, snap your photos and leave. a must 'quick stop' on your list.	4
1085	the temple is probably the most amazing temple in bali. two towers stand on the platforms, so it looks like they float on the lake which is spectacular. the place is clean, no beggars, not many noisy salesmen and women. take a jacket or something, just in case it's gonna rain.	2
1086	surrounding park is set to mask the boredom of the temple itself, however it doesn't help much. regretted going there	4
1087	despite the large number of visitors this temple was both serene & spectacular. and it is understandable why it receives so many visitors. this is the temple featured on the idr50,000 note and it is probably featured in just about every tourist brochure on bali that has ever been printed! and all for good reason. the temple grounds are quite large and the gardens, like most places that we visited in bali, are very well laid out and maintained. the final part of the temple, down on the lake is what everyone is here to see and to photograph. wayan our driver & guide explained the cultural, historic & spiritual significance and he also mentioned that the maintenance of the grounds is greatly improved from what it used to be. frankly, the lake with the mountains behind would be spectacular enough but the stunning temple on the bank of the lake takes it to another level altogehter. this was by far the most memorable site visited in our 10 day holiday. and being set high in the mountains it is much cooler than the coastal areas. it was a cloudy day when we visited and our guide said that it is better when it is clear, but don't be put off by the weather - it is worth the visit anyway.	2
1088	i have read many reviews of this temple but none really provided details so i thought i would write up my experience. firstly my hotel was in the centre of ubud city so i hired a driver and the drive there took about 2.5 hours starting at 9am. it's a long scenic drive with a steep twisty climb up a mountain. there is no entrance fee but you can give a donation. you do have to rent a sarong at 10kidr each though. tip - try to get matching sarongs for your photo later on. once inside there is a steep walk to get to the main attraction which is of course the famous gates. once there you take a number which determines when you will be called for your photo. you can wait in the shaded area and enjoy yourself watching others pose quickly for their photos. we had to wait over 2 hours. you give your cellphone to the professional photographer once your number is called and he takes pictures in various poses quickly. note this is completely free! you can give the photographer a donation. then a quick visit to the actual temple and off you go on your long drive back! well worth it as the views are spectacular but you need patience for the day. enjoy!	28
1089	the lempuyang temple gate offers the most spectacular location for photos. arrive early as the queues to obtain the photos become very long, and one could spend over 2 hours in line. due to the large number of people, photos are very rushed.	28
1090	one of the most suggestive places i visited in bali, simply majestic. the 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. apart from that, wonderful place!!!	2
1091	this was part of a very hectic day touring the north-western part of bali. once you pay your entry fee you are free to wonder around for as long as you like. the gardens were very pretty, but we particularly enjoyed the ponds with lots of koi and goldfish. i have to say that i did enjoy the stepping stones through the largest pond and if i was to go back, i would go for a swim in the pool, as it seemed amazing, but we did not have our swimmers with us. very worthwhile, highly recommended!	2
1092	decided to visit the attraction after my wife saw it listed on numerous tours and lists for photo opportunities. upon arrival was charged 45k idr per person for a shuttle to the temple entrance, where the ticketing office is. there we were informed that we are number 476 in the queue with about 200 people ahead of us. we didn’t bother with a ticket as it was 15.00 at that time. instead we had lunch at a local restaurant with a mountain view and photo opportunities on the roof included for customers. the staff have some tricks to make the photos look stunning. is it beautiful? i don’t know i’ve only seen photos. recommend and early morning visit to beat the queues	28
1093	uluwatu a place with everything;wave, culture, greenery! a must to go place while in bali. what a good experience at uluwatu temple. heard so much about the monkeys disturbance, but they did not bother me and my kids at all even we try to feed them with bananas. a must to wear the sarong that provided at the entrance of the temple shows that how balinese respect to their religion. there is a sign board at the temple especially ladies, please read. stay one night at uluwatu, the unforgettable night!	8
1094	this is a very beautiful. kechak dance very beautiful but sit in front row facing the dancers it would be very beautiful expirience. sit there around 5 pm.	13
1095	uluwatu temple attracts a huge number of tourists daily. seeing the sunset from the cliff there is a beautiful sight. but all the time, you're thinking what the monkeys all around you are up to ! be careful. don't have any thing dangling from your backpack like let's, soft toys, a sanitizer and other things like that. don't wear huge earrings, caps, sunglasses which the monkeys may snatch. enjoy the sights of the ocean and the sunset if you visit at that time. the temple is majestic in itself and you'll see monkeys being treated very well and respected. we weren't able to see the kecak dance but are told that it's a sight ! entry fee is idr 30k per person. there are many eateries outside the temple complex. you can get complimentary sarongs from the ticketing counter for your visit to the temple.	8
1096	tanah lot temple, as you probably already know by now, is a temple situated on a rock surrounded by water. it is only accessible at low tide, and it is a lovely place to visit and view. there isn't much else to the temple, other than the shops you have to walk past to get to it, but it's a lovely stop if you're touring around bali.	18
1097	the visit was pretty good actually we went in and paid $10 aud and you can take some up close pics with eg monkeys. overall i think bali is a bit overrated now that maybe because of saturation of tourist there and experience can be a bit superficial for my own liking. all in all the money forest was ok	2
1098	i have visited tanah lot three times. each successive visit i recall seeing more and more people. lots of touristy sales ongoing and it is impossible to get a good photo because it is so crowded. it is worth a visit just to take a look at the scenic construction of a temple on a cliff, but don't expect to be very impressed given the uncomfortable numbers of people visiting this place. i fear for the ecology and the environmental consequences if tourism continues to bring more people there. walk to the right end of the temple to enjoy a great view of the headlands	17
1099	it is located northwest of kuta. most guided tour will make that the last stop of the day to take in the beautiful sunset. we hired a taxi for the day but did visit tanah lot temple around sunset. the admission is 30,000 idr. it was worth every penny. the ground is quite extensive, but the interesting part is the rocky outcrop facing the ocean and where the temple is located. we were told that non-muslim are not allowed to get up to the temple ground. i found that a bit puzzling because i did not see anyone allowed up there, muslim or not. besides walking around the beach area, there is the holy snake attraction. also, below the temple ground, there is a holy water spring. for a small donation, one is allowed to splash their face with the holy water and get blessed by a religious elder. to the north of the temple is another rock outcrop with some temple structure on it. in fact the sunset of that scene is nicer in my view. after the sunset, everybody is leaving at the same time, so there will be quite a traffic jam.	17
1100	what a pleasant trip outta the bustling kuta. away from the hustle and bustle taking me just under an hour on my little skooter. set amongst a beautiful cliff top position high above the waves anongst tge rocky outcrop the place was so peacefull and so very calm. met at the gate by the parking attendant i paid for my secure parking spot and entered this terrific old temple. balineese architecture at its finest the centre of the community. just down at the end of the lane theres another top spot fir a dip and some lunch that looks out over the clifftops 270* view watch the surfers cut up waves as you eat a meal for less than $5.00	2
1101	no trip to bali is complete without a visit to this awe inspiring temple, the surrounding countryside offers an insight into rural life.	2
1102	the setting is just idyllic. the lake, the mountains surrounding it and the temple itself compose one of the best pictures i will remember from bali. we were lucky not to get there in peak hour (i'm guessing it would be chaotic) so we had the time to have a nice walk around the premises. the temple is just beautiful with its natural surroundings making this one of the best temples i've visited in bali. as in other temples, you are not allowed to enter the temple itself, only being able to look at it from a distance. nevertheless i still think it's worth the while. the peacefulness that exudes from this place is quite contagious and if you're lucky enough not to get cloudy weather you'll be greeted with one of the best landscapes in bali too. it is quite an impressive setting for a temple. make sure you don't loose this.	2
1103	this was my third visit to uluwatu and their sunset kecak dance and their performances improve with every visit. the chorus is superb and i like that their costumed characters will interact with the audience. go early to get a good seat, which for me is front and center facing the ceremonial gate that overlooks the ocean so that gopros and guests using tablets to take photos don't obstruct your view of the performance. would i go a fourth time? absolutely.	8
1104	the great temple on the lake with a good weather. it's not only a temple on the lake, but it also has a garden in it.	4
1105	you pay a few dollars to get in (parking extra) and don't bring any food in with you to avoid monkey altercations... you get a sarong before entry unless your knees are already covered. there were probably over 2000 people when i was there, almost impossible to take a picture without anyone else in it. lots of viewing points though, even more if you go during low tide (high tide is harder to be on the beach since the water is coming up to the rocks). it is very windy up at the higher peak and was rainy when we were there so not as enjoyable as it could've been! overall worth seeing, i would suggest having a guide to learn more about the history and current activities of the temple! once inside there is also option for a 100k idr ($10usd) fire show in the little stadium they have.	4
1106	tanah lot must be the island 's most iconic temple , is on top of a huge rock surrounded by sea and a beautiful place to view sunset , must me there to view scenic sunset .	17
1107	it's over crowded with tourists :( make the temple not as quite as it should be. but it's worth for a quick visit to see the beauty of nature.	4
1108	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. i 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.	4
1109	what a beautiful scenery! everything is said in the picture! even though during dry season (we were there in september) the temple is not surrounded with water, it didn't left us disappointed! a must visit place in bali, i recommend to go there for a sunset, but it's going to be very busy. if you do, make sure to leave as quickly as possible, when the sun goes down to avoid traffic. besides the temple, there is a small market, people selling various souvenirs. we also enjoyed our picture taken with a python for a small price :)	2
1110	i loved this temple it is a must see place . i loved the sunset and the view of the ocean great place to take some pictures	4
1111	visited the temple to see the kecak dance and wasn't disappointed. the atmosphere was amazing and the dancers very colourful. the view of the sunset over the cliff was amazing and we took lots of photos. didn't see any monkeys although we were warned about them. well worth it.	13
1112	we drove here today and when we arrived, it was quite, it's best time in the early mornings to visit, less visitors , we saw the lake at low tide and they have been doing up the temples, it's looking great, but it's a shame for the temple that look out of place, it doesn't look right. for taking photos, also be warned do not approach the animals, as they tried to rip us off for taking photos, if they take photos, it's 30,000 or 50,000 rp , but the snake cost more,last time my partner went here, they never payed to take the animals photos. it would be good to see this in 5 yrs time again.	4
1113	it was very nice to visit uluwatu-temple, a lot to see around it as well. nice to walk around it, but watch out for the monkeys!!!	8
1114	my favourite temple in bali. stunning gardens to wander around and the setting on the lake is magical. little playground for kids which was cute.	2
1115	i scouted the place and pick 1 spot up on the cliff that we can overlook the temple and horizon and waited for the sunset. there are relatively cheap places to have drinks while doing so. no need to break your wallets.	4
1116	beautiful views from cliffs and oceans. the crowds can get rather crazy and people start getting pushy when its time to get seats for the fire dance show. beware of the monkeys!!	13
1117	slight history; uluwatu temple (balinese: pura (luhur) uluwatu) is a balinese sea temple (pura segara) in uluwatu (kuta south, badung). the temple is regarded as one of the sad kahyangan and is dedicated to sang hyang widhi wasa in his manifestation as rudra ps : please keep away any belongings form the monkeys :):)	8
1118	ulawatu can even make even the most ardent atheist consider the exist of god(s). tomorrow will be a full moon...so the tides, the sunset, and the moon were all in alignment to add an element of something surreal to the visit. i imagine that the sunrise over this temple on a cliff is as fascinating as the sunset...but i don't think it's during sunrise....	8
1119	the temple itself is not so significant-looking but what impresses me is its location...perched on a stiff limestone cliff in bukit....a very fine view of the indian ocean and its white waves hitting the rocks below.....the whole walkway looks much like a balinese version of the great wall !..refreshing, exciting, stunning..........its a nice way of witnessing the sunset and the kecak dance,. not to mention the horde of monkeys playing among the grove of frangipani trees planted all over the temple....and according to the warning given to us, they snatch shiny items like watches, glasses, cameras or anything that catches their fancy....and it suddenly happened, one in our group had his glasses snatched by one clever male monkey ....fortunately one of the temple priests helped in taking the glasses back after few minutes egotiations\ with the monkey...what an experience ...	14
1120	awesome views of the temple, especially when there's low tide. definitely worth to pay the entrance fee	4
1121	in here you can find a lot of things to buy like souvenir and some food. then you can enjoy the amazing scenery in there. i recommend you to go in noon so you can enjoy the sunset by sitting and chillin. you can also watch bali traditional dance and you need to pay again to watch this shows. in the main entrance you need to pay for entrance fee..	2
1122	a beautiful walk with some absolutely breathtaking views! not a temple as such, but more like a coastal walk around the temple grounds, overlooking the ocean. i recommend going earlier in the day as it can get quite busy, but the entry fee is about $3 aud - so really affordable and well worth it! relative fitness level needed as there are a fair few stairs. would definitely recommend!	4
1123	a beautiful bali temple but then again they all are. very busy as we visited on a weekend so locals and tourists all mixed in and just before sunset so pick your day carefully!	2
1124	we went in june 24th 2017 to bali and tanah lot was not in our package then also we went from our own expenses, and man it was worth every single money we paid to the cab driver. what a location. mesmerizing and breathtaking. nothing can beat the experience we had there. chilly wind on our face no sign of sun, cloudy weather with sea shore completely visible but not accessible for public because of the risk. its a must visit if you are going to bali. the temple is in the ocean so during high tides the path to temple is submerged under water hence its not accessible , we were lucky as the path was not submerged in water.	18
1125	a beautiful place. but if you want to see the temple surrounded by water like pictured in the postcards you have to come in the morning before 1pm! or for the sunrise. after 2pm the outflow starts so the water is gone and you will see hundreds of tourists around it.	4
1126	really really really beautyfull place fo sunset, any kecak dance here. everybody want to see this dancing. coz the background is sunset. mustbe visit contact me if need guide in bali +6281999300022	2
1127	there are three main temples located on cliff tops with unusual rock formations a result of centuries of sea erosion, one that has cut through the rocks with a huge gaping hole. the temple situated on sea level has the holy spring water where tourists clamour t seek the blessings of the gods. absolutely stunning scenery and the highlight is waiting and watching g the sunset over the rock formations that is the most happening view. we saw the sunset which was little less than perfect as the cloud cover came to scar the full vision. a must visit for all travellers.	4
1128	the temples are beautiful, you had to queue up and wait for your turn to have your photo opportunity at heavens gate (apparently the most instagramed place in bali) no one looked at the magnificent view, just back at there camera. posing and doing are the latest selfish moves. it was sad really, just ticking off a self at lempuyang so it can be crossed off. haha	2
1129	we visited this temple in the pouring rain. it was very busy with lots of selfie sticks and posing tourists... at one point we were sheltering and right opposite there appeared to be a duck and some chickens that were being sacrificed. the duck was struggling to stand up in is tiny cage and one of the young chickens was hanging upside down. we were visiting with our two daughters aged 10 and 7 and all of us were really upset by these very obviously distressed creatures! i would not have gone had i know we were going to be in some way contributing to this activity- very disappointing	4
1130	this temple was so beautiful. it wasn't very crowded. the power of water can be seen so well there with the huge waves.	4
1131	the dance and setting itself was really beautiful. but to us it just seemed as if the staff and performers had lost their passion. overbooked and repetitive. it just seemed like a money making scheme to me, many people had to sit on the concrete floor for the same price. a lot of people got up during the performance and left which we thought was really rude to the performers and the other guests watching the show. however the view was beautiful!!	13
1132	lake bratan is situated very nicely at the top of the mountain and hence, it is very cool up there. it feels like going to those mountainous areas with misty weather and cooling breezes. the temple is in the lake so you have to pay for a boat ride if you want to visit it and the surrounding areas. i would highly encourage you to do for the view is very well-worth it. the surrounding areas of the lake are actually very nice as well. there is a small park where you can take a lazy walk peacefully while enjoying the perfect weather and the cool breezes. love the place to bits. <3	4
1133	we enjoy the awesome view and kechack dance. i recommend to see it at least once in bali.our kids loved it so much because it was quite funny at the end.	2
1134	fees to enter the temple is 20k rupiah.... the view of the sunset is so breathtakingly magnificent...by the way, u can skip the kecak dance (cost around 100k rupiah)...just enjoy the sunset...and beware of the monkeys especially those wearing specticals..	13
1135	come to bali are not complete yet without seeing this ulun danu temple. this temple situated at 900 meters above sea level. with situated at great caldera of anccient volcanic mountain, bringing you with cooling weather . ulun danu temple located at beratan lake,second largest lake on this island. with three layer of roof shrine as local people call 'meru' symbol of the mountain,where god take place as a good energy vibrating down to the lake . bringing good,and positive energy of tought to peoples . ulun danu temple also as we able seen at 50k indonesian note bill.beautiful garden also abl been seen around this site,and traditonal fruits market also able be visiting along the way or after the trip to ulun danu temple. make sure are cousious with the invitation of the stalker.	30
1136	i like they keep the ancient trees, stones and the monkeys are well fed as well. they don't attack human / steal sun glasses as happening at other temples in bali.	2
1137	this is the posterboy of bali.. what else to say. just reach around sunset and enjoy the evening...top most attraction... in bali..	2
1138	visited the temple and watched kecak dance in early dec’22, after reading lot of praise online. the temple is situated on a cliff, and the views from the cliff are definitely very beautiful. make sure you walk to the end of the path on both sides of the temple for stunning views. keep an eye out for the monkeys; they will happily snatch sunglasses from your head and anything else of interest that you are holding. if they take something, don’t engage with them yourself and ask a temple guard to help you; guards have sweets that they give to the monkey and monkey drops your object to take 2 sweets at once! the temple praying chamber itself, like many others in bali, is closed to the public. on the day we went, tickets to the 6 pm dance performance had sold out in a few mins after they started selling them. my driver said large tour groups buy them in advance directly. however, we found some people selling them in black (without any markup) inside as well. we watched the 7 pm show, and used the one hour before the show to capture sunset photos. it’s held in a moderate size, open air amphitheater (500-1000 people seated at one time), and the ocean is behind the stage. make sure you get seats in/ around the center of the amphitheater if you want a view of the ocean. the show itself was underwhelming, despite all the hard work by the performers. the sunset is hardly visible from the location, and the continous “kac kac” (p.s. the dance is named for this) from the performers seemed to distract from the plot. summary - watch it to cross it off your bali list, but moderate your expectations.	13
1139	the guided walk on cliff side deep dlue sea, and below sea wave and nice garden like place. wow. temple view at the top of the cliff just added the wonderful sight.	4
1140	lovely it’s nice to know that places like this stil do exist. mother of balinese nature is just amazing !	2
1141	- very cool temple - not a must see, but if you're in the area (visiting jatiluwih rice fields), then its definitely worthwhile	4
1142	absolutely breath taking view,, there is lots of walking so make sure you wear good shoes. the stairs are up hill so it can be difficult for some people. be careful of the monkeys though don't wear sunglasses as they might take them. you will be able to take lots of great photos though, best time is to go at sunset. worth a visit!	14
1143	it is a beautiful temple located on a cliff with beautiful cliff and ocean views. during low tide you can walk on the sea bed around the temple, but can't go up the steps or in the temple if you are not from bali. there are a lot of tourists and place is very crowded. the \holy snake\ an albino snake in a hole in the sand is nothing special (expect to pay for the privilege of seeing the snake). there are a lot of shops catering to tourists around the parking lot.	2
1144	best sunset, holy temple, this place must visit when you come to bali! i’ve been here few times and i never ever feel bored, i can come hereeee anytime just to see beautiful sunset ever!	2
1145	uluwatu temple is fantastic, monkeys everywhere but be careful, they will grab your bags or your glasses. a very spiritual place with magnificent views and the best sunset i've ever seen in my life. your driver can take you there. the approximate travel time is 1.5 hours but the scenery is oh so beautiful. a must to do while in bali!!!	8
1146	tanah lot is one of the must see attractions while you’re in bali. we went to tanah lot in the afternoon since we were told that sunset is beautiful from this area. when we got there, we could see the tanah lot and it’s low tide at that time that’s why we can roam around the temple. too bad that this place is overcrowded with tourists (we cannot blame the place itself since it’s a main attraction in bali) so if you want to take majestic picture of the temple, expect that there will be many tourists in your pic.	18
1147	one of must visit places in bali. very beautiful enviroment, amazing temple. it's even more beautiful, when the sky is cloudy.	2
1148	lots of weddings go there to take pictures.the overview is wow. you can see the cliffs and have a nice walk following it.the temple is very small. avoid oplsying with the monkeys. the most aggressive animals i have seen. they loves glasses and hats and water bottles. they will harm you if you don't cooperate. just go there for the view and the short walk.	4
1149	really nice place to take pictures and watching the sunset. you should also watch the kecak dance (every day at 6pm).	13
1150	its at a height, so has lovely views. very crowded at sunset time. also watched the kecak dance here.	13
1151	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!	4
1152	this temple was built on rock in the sea, and is cut off at high tide. the coastline here is just spectacular - photographically powerful. we made our way through the crowds of tourists to view the beautiful temple, itself off limits to tourists. then when you look the other way up the coast towards the setting sun, it is just stunning. well worth a visit.	4
1153	we went to the sunset dancing at uluwatu temple with two very young children and a few friends. foolishly i did not do my research before going, because if i had we wouldn’t have bothered! to be fair, we have a 3 yo and 1 yo who usually eat dinner around 5.30pm so to be stuck up high in an outdoor auditorium, watching a 1 hr traditional balinese fire dancing show isn’t ideal. the temple itself is quite cool and offers some incredible views. there are a lot of stairs so keep that in mind and do not bring a pram (the actual spot where they do the sunset dancing is accessible by wheelchair). the thing that kills the serenity and ambiance of this place is the ridiculous crowds! we weren’t even there in peak season and it was hectic. you get charged (a small fee) to walk through the temple and then another aud$10 to watch the sunset dancing. you are crammed in like sardines into this outdoor auditorium and if you are as unfortunate as we were you are sitting with your entire view of the sunset blocked. so in short, if you are into exploring temples and have some spare time then go during the day and check it out (hopefully not as crowded). unfortunately the magic of the sunset fire dancing was lost on me as i felt as though it was more a cash grab than about immersing yourself into balinese culture.	8
1154	great. be there before 5pm to get a limited seat for 6pm sunset kechak dance show. entrance fee is 20k rph+100k rph (kechack dance)... nice sunset view...	13
1155	it was an experience of lifetime. the environment was breathtaking. the walkway beside the sea leading to temple was memorable.	4
1156	while scenic and the views of the surrounding lake absolutely gorgeous, the crowd at the temple has made it really hard to either get a good landscape shot or a group photo. nevertheless, the weather is really comfortable and the ride there pass all the farms is as beautiful.	4
1157	a special place to see. a super view of the temple and a nice atmosphere. the memory of this place will always be in our minds.	4
1158	good food local food nice bumbu.bali sambel matah sambel uyah sere tabia nice service bali experience	2
1159	uluwatu temple, ois renowned for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 metres above sea level. this temple also shares the splendid sunset backdrops. it´s a amzing experience. during the sunset there´s a performance about the creation of the world. o templo é maravilhoso. imperdivel. uma das vistas mais bonitas locais. há uma apresentação durante o por do sol. visita para ser feita com tranquilidade.	8
1160	spectacular cliffs with the temple perched on the end is what this site is about...and worth the visit. do walk down to the furthest reaches of the paths (both sides) to get the view back to the temple. if you are tempted to try the sunset viewing it can be pretty busy...so be prepared for that. the monkeys are a pain so make sure loose items are put away or held close.	14
1161	we had a nice family stroll after breakfast..2nd visit and still charming..make sure you make your way into the holy spring temple for some photo perfect shots.	4
1162	in two minds whether to score ulun danu for what it could have been, or what it is, now. entrance fee is udr50k at present, per person, with additional fees for use of the lavatories. once in, the nicely tended gardens lead you down to the lake shore.. together with a couple of hundred others. the enigmatic temple on the shores of danau beratan give a glimpse of what it might have been like decades ago..but the selfie waving sticks of the massed throngs, the spongebob square pants signs, and the occasional roar of the power boat scything to the jetties bring you squarely back to the present. best enjoyed in the solitude of the pre-dawn...if you can get in..	30
1163	it is just one more temple that was spoiled with modern ugly colorful waste bins and animal figures. kids playground from the 1980 soviet union period metal and ugly, swan catamarans, thousand of people and tourist shops. no worth visiting!!! do not waste your time	4
1164	found myself with a group of mates cost was 10,000 rupiah per a person . we all got our purple long skirts from the temple worker ? he than proceeded to guide us into the temple and surrounding places helping us take photos etc .. the temple itself is amazing with a great scenery of the ocean and its cliff. at the end of the so called tour guide he asked for some money.. 10,000 per a person ... we than suspected we got hustled .. so beware of these so called tour guides and monkeys	14
1165	the views of the cliffs are pretty cool, though are blocked by an unattractive cement wall. the temple itself isn't really all that special compared to many others. it's 50k per person to enter, so just barely worth it if you're passing by and have nothing else to do. though avoid mid day as the sun is too strong and it gets really hot walking along the wall.	4
1166	actually i am still a bit traumatized to this place (5 years ago i came to this place, my friends are the glasses, sandals taken by the monkeys that roam) happens less so comfortable because they have to be careful when there are monkeys, quite tired to walk down toward the temple his but it all paid off with the scenic beauty (indian ocean)	14
1167	cannot recommend this place enough. it is sacred and so beautiful. you really feel the culture and history around you. we were fortunate enough to be able to watch the traditional dance and wow that was an experience. enjoyed this place more than i thought i would. would recommend getting there early in order to buy your ticket. the views are also worth it!	13
1168	we visited with my family including and 9 and 11 year olds.we had a driver take us from kuta at about 3 pm for the sunset and returned around 730 pm for $30 aus . it took an hour to get there and the traffic is congestured.it cost $6 dollars per adult and $3 for kids.there is a stack of shops for buying the usual bali stall stuff. the good part is most have prices so if you cant be bothered haggling and it is approx the same price.at the moment it is low tide at sunset which is great for getting across to the temple at sunset and getting photos. there is restaurants across the cliff face with great views and reasonable priced. you can also see lawaks and also have a lawack coffee for $2.50 if you like.it cost extra to go into the holy cave a touch the holy snake if that suits you. highly recommend this temple for all that are in bali.	2
1169	the pictures show a remote temple, linking the land (tanah) and the sea (lot). the reality is somewhat different. when you enter the complex in the late afternoon, you pass through streets and streets of shops, stalls and restaurants. there are even a couple of hotels. despite that the atmosphere is imbued with the traditional balinese politeness and calm. yes, traders ply their wares, but with none of the pushiness one encounters in so many other eastern countries. there is more than one temple to admire, although entry is not permitted to non hindi. the best viewpoint is by going up a path to the west, where there is a string of little warung and, beyond them, a well manicured golf course. enjoy a beer while waiting for the sun to set. very well worth the journey.	18
1170	the temple itself is underwhelming - even if it is open which it wasn't when we visited. the setting is lovely, cliff-top walks and surf below. quite expensive, and crowded as hell. but don't turn your back on the monkeys for a second - there are walls all around which put them at your shoulder height - i turned around for a few seconds, and one ran up behind me and whipped off my fairly expensive prescription glasses - promptly snapped them in half, and then started chewing the lenses. it kept doing this until it was given so much food it couldn't hold the glasses and food at the same time. so i assume it was a kind of learned ransom system it had going on. or just having a little fun. either way, i recommend not turning your back on a monkey at any time, also don't let one climb on you.	14
1171	unforgettable, unmissable, fantastic place with a wonderful garden, and the gorgeous hindu temples inside the park! piece and colorful integrated with environment and the view of biggest lake in indonesia!	2
1172	only a short 20min drive from candidasa, ujung seraya (the water palace), was the home of the last balinese prince or raja, is surrounded by beautiful gardens and what, could be considered a wide moat... the palace itself has a few historical furnishings and pictures of the family adorn a few walls, otherwise, it is sparcely furnished. i think the beauty of this property is within the grounds, with it's variety of statues, carvings and bridges, which surround the actual palace. the surrounding water gives the building a feeling of sereness... only rp20000 (about aud2) to visit ... well worth a morning or afternoon visit	2
1173	beautiful view. good shots for photography. lots of tourists. great shopping at the entrance and it was the cheapest found in all of bali compared to kuta, seminyak n sanur. so if u see something you like here do not hesitate to buy it cos its really cheaper here	2
1174	the actual place is as beautiful as in the photos. dramatic sheer cliffs plunging into the churning waves of the indian ocean below, with this small temple perched right at the edge. you can walk along a pathway along the cliff for 300-400 meters. uluwatu is located at the southern tip of bali, traffic is bad along the narrow road. it took 2 hours by car from ubud, and probably an hour from denpasar. allow enough time for travel.	8
1175	this place was amazing. view was awesome.. the time we visited due to heavy wind and high tides unable to go inside the temple, however overall view of sea and temple was beautiful..	4
1176	the temple itself is closed off by gates, so that's a no-go. i walked around clutching my belongings in fear of a monkey grabbing them - seeing shoes and belongings strewn about after being stolen and discarded by monkeys put me a bit on edge. the view is lovely but i can enjoy a similar view from the waitakere ranges in west auckland where there arent 29394920055 tourists taking selfies and 2939593728 monkeys up to no good. if you have never had an opportunity to see a view like this before then i recommend - but for us who have similar views at home, i would skip the stress, especially considering the temple is mostly gated off.	14
1177	it was my second time to visit. we could see the temple with sunset. it's like dreaming. i want to go and see it again.	4
1178	so well worth a visit. outstanding location and unbelievable views. the temple itself is reserved for worshippers but the paths and views from the cliff top are breathtaking. the bonus is the monkeys! we only saw one but at least we came away with our sunglasses intact!!	14
1179	a lovely spiritual setting spoilt by too many tourists pushing and shoving. some lovely coastal views. watch out for the monkeys!	14
1180	i went there last month for business trip. when i have time i go there with my uber. you can see the sea from up there. there's entrance fee, not expensive. sometimes there will be monkey. so, if you bring glasses, cameras, be careful. the seas is so beautiful. you can see the temple from here too. there's also kecak dance, but it has schedule. pls ask local if you interested to see the kecak dance. they will tell you the good time to see it.	13
1181	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.	4
1182	pura ulun danu bratan, or pura bratan, is a major shivaite and water temple on bali, indonesia. the temple complex is located on the shores of lake bratan in the mountains near bedugul. built in 1633, this temple is used for offerings ceremony to the lake bratan is known as the lake of holy mountain due to the fertility of this area. located 1200 m above sea level, it has a cold tropical climate. you will love this place hence keep some time in your hand. you can have lunch inside the temple premises.	30
1183	extremely crowded but definitely worth it. the views are amazing and the sunset spectacular. the dance show is good but the segment towards the end were one of the performers does some \stand up comedy\ is completely misplaced which is sad as the rest of the performance is very good.	13
1184	the builders of the temple had it right when they chose the location. the views from the cliff-side peninsula are truly spectacular. i was underwhelmed by the temple itself, however, as it doesn't appear to have been as well-cared-for as i would expect given the entrance fee revenues it collects from the hundreds of people that pass through here each day. unfortunately, we missed the kecak dance, which we heard was great from friends we made at out hotel. make sure to include this as part of your visit to make it worth your while.	13
1185	balinese sea temple.uluwatu, or pura luhur uluwatu, one of six key temples believed to be bali's spiritual pillars, is renowned for its magnificent location, perched on top of a steep cliff approximately 70 metres above sea level.ura luhur uluwatu is definitely one of the top places on the island to go to for sunset delights, with direct views overlooking the beautiful indian ocean and daily kecak dance performances. balinese architecture, traditionally-designed gateways, and ancient sculptures add to uluwatu temple's appeal. entrance fee rp 30.000	8
1186	this is another temple except that it does have rather beautiful sunset view. my guide explained a little about the temple and its origins which didn't excite me. the monkeys did though. saw a group of caucasians antagonising the monkeys and the monkeys became rather aggressive. exercise some sense and one should be rather safe.	14
1187	this temple was incredible with view of the sea and also the beautiful sunset. many tourists come to this temple to make the photos wedding, especially asian people	4
1188	near from kutta and semiyank, it's one of the most visited place in bali. the temple is very nice but to visit the temple rock you need to cross water on your own. there is strong current with flowing water. so be careful. you may find hard to take photos without other tourist in background. lot of shopping and eating options near temple. there is also garden on cliff to take some stunning shots	2
1189	we went to uluwatu temple during the day and enjoyed it very much. you walk in and there are monkeys everywhere. the temple is beautiful and the views of the cliff that the temple is on is amazing.	8
1190	it is a beautiful place, very clean and the monkyes are nice. i miss the waterpool in the beginning, last april it was still there. i come 2 times a year to bali and always go to you, it is very peacefull.	2
1191	the best part of bali is the tranquility, art and sculpture, architecture of their homes and scenery that you encounter between much hyped venues. tanah lot if clearly over-hyped - it was overrun with crowds, and all one can see from anywhere is a dark building on a small island in the water. perhaps if we had a gorgeous sunset instead of clouds things would look different, but as it were, it was a bit disappointing especially with the throngs of loud attendees. ulun danu in the early morning, and tirtha empul were nicer.	18
1192	this is one the most important & most visited temple of bali... location is in southern most side of bali in west side, so neutrally the sunset view is best. every one is mesmerized about the thing that how can any one built such a temple at sea shore on cliff before 1000 year? however no one can enter the actual temple as it was strictly for rituals only.. every visitor came here for great sunset view..plus there is daily show of kachak dance at amphitheatre of temple. kachak is the traditional balinese dance form based on hindu mythology of ramayan. it is worth watching once in life time... it is totally without any music and instrument. but effectively makes sunset atmosphere more beautiful. this temple is closer if you are staying at nasa dua.. from ubud it is very far.	2
1193	too hot to visit in the mid afternoon so best time to go will be late afternoon to evening just before sunset where you get the cool ocean breeze and amazing sunset view with the temple as background. a favorite hot spot for tourist thou so do expect it to be empty. overall a nice place to spend the afternoon to chill out waiting for sunset!	4
1194	we visited this site an hour before sunset. although it was crowded on a sunday it was still worth it. the temple is perched on a rock and when the sun goes down it is a spectacular site. we walked around for the hour and enjoyed the ocean views as the sun was setting. i think this is one of the most beautiful sites in bali.	2
1195	well, the location at the lake is just great. and the temple is beautiful, although run over by tourists and asking quite an entrance fee.	4
1196	this is my 4th time visiting bali and every time i return i visit here. yes it is packed with tourists and people trying to sell you items. but that's what a tourist attraction is. my partner is into photography so we would have been silly to pass up this opportunity. be cautious of the tides though, usually you can walk downstairs and get really close to the temple but this time we missed that window. still beautiful and breathtaking seeing temple on the water.	2
1197	quite an old temple built on top of a cliff. it has great views from different angles and has some walks on either side of the temple. great shots if you are a camera buff. they also have monkeys roaming free but be warned they are wild and not tame.	14
1198	tanah lot is a natural wonder. it's made more interesting as a visitor can only fully explore the temple & it's surroundings when the tide goes down. hence, the most important factor in your planning to visit this attraction is to check the time of the tides. we visited when the tide was low. the area from the shore till the temple was 99.99% dry, as in not submerged in water, save for a few small depressions of coupe of cm of sea water. the rock surface and rock structures are blackened (not sure why). i especially liked and appreciate very much the striations on the sides of the rock stumps & the rock walls of the temple and the stairs leading up to the temple. there are a few spots to take some nice shots. #1: by the side of the temple, with the sea with rough waves as background #2: take of note of the small pool puddles, as you may be able to get a nice reflection of the subject in your photo #3: the raging waves is a nice video of sorts #4: along the sides of the stairs to the temple, you can also snap some nice pics to get to the steps of the temple, you need to go through \a ceremony of sorts\. the caretakers (or priests ??) persuade you to drink \holy water\ and dab you with some rice on your forehead. i gather this is a form of respect before walking up the steps of the temple. when we were there end june 2017, the temple door was locked. not sure if there were some maintenance works being done or due to some other reason. regardless, the sight of tanah lot is clearly a sight to behold ... yet another work-of-art by/from mother nature. do take a visit .. before the sea erodes all of it .. although that will take some time. **** most important again .. is to check on the tide times before heading to tanah lot ****	17
1199	the temple is beautiful and quite large and have fun with the monkeys who are always present running around trying to cause mischief. take care of your belongings. the view is amazing. i will return there!!!	14
1200	it is not everyday that you see a temple on a lake on top of the mountain with a background of another mountain.	4
1201	loved uluwatu. it would be such a beautiful place if it wasnt for the thousands of tourists fiddling on their phones in every nook and cranny of the property. if they could have provided a quiet place for people to pray or meditate then it could have been really special. i guess that comes back to what you are looking for. if you're looking for a straight tourist look around, its still worth it. lovely place.	8
1202	enjoyed the gentle walk to the temple. was assisted by lady keeper, who carried stick to chase away monkeys if approached. temple was ancient , views were breathtaking.we had safe walking shoes, hat and sunnies. half day visit, was enough.	14
1203	this is a must for first time bali travellers, the temple is on the cliffs of ulawatu and you can get some amazing photos. there are monkeys at the temple, be careful they are cheeky they will try and grab anything shiny so watch your jewellery.	8
1204	nice temple but more tourists than monkeys. don't wear glasses or hats if you want to keep them. nice views.	14
1205	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.	4
1206	uluwatu temple is the perfect location to catch a sunset in bali! beautiful location looking out into the horizon! the one drawback though is that you and hundreds of others will be there too. the place is big enough to grab a spot along the long all just enjoy. however, there is a good chance there will be lots talking, therefore it will not be to peaceful. stunning sunset though!	8
1207	a very beautiful place.too bad the tickets were all sold out for the kecak dance.book them ahead of time a d not just show up a few hours before the show. beware of the monkeys i almost lost my mobile phone.i was sitting and next a monkey is right next to you out of nowhere.	13
1208	somehow this one passes for the most beautiful of all of temples that there are in bali. what makes it unique is the location, obviously, however the temple itself is really not worth mentioning. let alone the hordes of people who all try to get the next best picture, especially at sunset time.	2
1209	it is one of the best temple in bali, on the brata lake, amazing context. when we went there, there was a religious ceremony with people who sing and play music. beautiful!	2
1210	the kecak dance was the highlight of our trip to uluwatu. it was well choreographed and had just the right amounts of humour and excitement to keep the audience hooked. the temple cannot be entered but the space provides great views of cliffs and sunset which are worth the many steps to walk	8
1211	the temple itself has no interest but the view only worth to go there	4
1212	we went to uluwatu for sunset. it was mesmerising to see the sunset along the cliff! kecak dance was awesome. they were performing sequences from the indian epic, ramayana. the guy who performed as hanuman was great and entertaining all parts of the crowd! a visit to uluwatu is not complete without witnessing the kecak dance!	8
1213	this is place can't miss in bali. you can enjoy the amazing view of indian ocean and also the historical temple. it was so relax when visiting this place.	2
1214	very nice area to watch sunset. there is a traditional balinese show at sunset. a lot of monkeys around, who like to steel things from tourists.	2
1215	there are many temples in bali but i reckon this one is a must go because of the whole package - the indian ocean view, sunset and cheeky monkeys. do take their warning about monkeys seriously though! we saw a person's sunglasses being snatched by a monkey and he wouldn't return it - even for food! at the end the monkey broke it... the entry fee comes with a sarong too so don't worry about buying one.	2
1216	we ran out of time so we got to the temple just as the kecak dance started. our driver told us it was the best and would cost 80.000. once there, we had to pay the temple entrance fee of 20.000 first and an extra 100.000 for the dance. since we only caught a glimpse of the temple and sunset, i didn't like paying it but ah well...had to. the little bit i did see was beautiful though and lots of tourists. the kecak dance is a bit funnier and the outfits are more professional compared to the one in ubud, but i liked the set up in ubud better. the set up at uluwatu is in this old, cool stadium, but there's way to many people and people walk in and out during the show, blocking the view of others.	8
1217	it was not sunny when we visited this typical balinese temple but still, surrounded by mist, it was magical. it's a pity that it started raining and we just stayed 30 min.	2
1218	a quick visit (took 30-45 mins) for pictures and a visit to the holy spring temple sums up our visit. no snatching of items was witnessed, apparently this happens more often in the uluwatu monkey sanctuary. toilets are the entrance. entry fee was idr 50,000 per person - we went on a sunday afternoon and found the back entrance easier to get into in terms of crowds.	8
1219	after seeing photographs are reading reviews we decided to get a taxi and see this temple whilst staying in bali. the roads in bali are congested so whilst it took a while to get to from changgu, we hoped the temple would compensate - oh how i was wrong. once you walk past the usual stalls peddling water, fruit etc. you walk past the first mini temple which requests that no females on periods may enter. not that you can enter regardless... only walk up towards its entrance. a little further and you walk down towards the beach upon which the tanah lot template sits on a small jut of rock. i can see the attraction with the sun setting, however when you walk past the hoard of selfie takers and approach the rock, you see a closed staircase on the right, a cave with holy water and a 'donation box', and what seems to be an open staircase on the left. out of curiosity, i walked towards the open staircase only to be informed that i needed the holy water to proceed. not wanting to be forced into a donation, i walked further to the left and saw that the open staircase was in fact, closed, but only out of sight for those who wished to climb it. funnily enough you saw the looks of surprise from those eager to be anointed as they walk round and up about 15 steps only to come across the closed sign. further away from the temple are some lovely rock pools which had several crabs and fish in them which i much preferred. the temple itself is nice from a distance but fairly representative of the shallow insta-feel that bali portrayed overall.	18
1220	this is a special temple but you can't do alot there. apart from walking around it, take a few pictures, that's it. you need 15 to 30 minutes there and then you're done, well in my opinion. it's definetly prettier with sundown but don't plan a whole day for it. easily to combine with other things. one negative point, it's always very crowded with tourist.	4
1221	you should include in your itinerary, won't take much of your time if you just want to feel what it is like to walk into a place full of monkeys. there are temples inside too. take note do not bring any food, or taking something out of your bag as this will catch their attention. but the monkeys are a lot friendlier than those in uluwatu temple.	8
1222	what could be more beautiful and scenic than a temple on a beach in the ocean!!!!!! the place is definitely a must for bali-visitors- the markets and whole cultural atmosphere is amazing ❤️👌🏻	2
1223	this is one of bali’s most populait temples to visit. so it can be a little crowdy. but there is a lot of space so don’t worry about this. best time to visit is end of the day. you get a beautiful sunset while surfers are riding waves down below. take some time to relax and enjoy the terrain.	2
1224	the temple is beautiful. the place is ideal to hang around and have a coffee while enjoying the sunset. a must see in my opinion.	4
1225	been here twice but never get bored of this place. the view is amazing, cliffs, sky, sand and blue green beach view from up above.. i love this place! after this, you can go to suluban (bluepoint) beach near from uluwatu temple. its amazing..	8
1226	nice view of sea from this temple. since its near to nusa dua so water also in deep blue colour which looks good & you can get some nice clicks. entry fee is 30,000 idr which i can say worthy. i heard sunset is good here like tanah lot but i moved around 5 pm since need to go padang padang & dreamland beach.	4
1227	the monkey temple-uluwatu is a magnetic place. the energies of it is the best! the view is amazing and the monkeys is fun and thief. pay atencion, because the monkeys take your flip top shoes and eat them. walking around is surprisingly. you will have good time for beautiful photos. have a good time and take care.	8
1228	walking around here was an exciting experience, the best sunset we found in bali. the temple is incredible, located on top of the cliff. after sunset, we watched the kecak dance. colossal! then we moved on to jimbaran bay for bbq dinner.	2
1229	we went by scooter yesterday at 9am from canggu in the pouring rain. the good part is we missed the crowds. took about half an hour by scooter. good cheap souvenir shops nearby - some people might say they are capitalizing on the tannah lot trade but when you can buy all your sarongs for family for just $3 each why not? the temple and the crashing waves were spectacular and we received a blessing from the monks and bathed in the spiritual water. enjoyed the journey, but i just don't know if i would go when there are a thousand people there - ( a few hundred was enough for us when we left at 10am )	17
1230	the view is beautiful up there. also they organize kecak dance in the evening which is fun to attend.	13
1231	the temple itself is underwhelming and not a place for people scared of monkeys. the setting is lovely, try to get there later in the day as less hot but it can be crowded.the keckak dance show in the evening is decent performance and in the open air theatre. avoid the food stalls outside the temple - mostly instant noodles and junk food. ok for a fresh coconut. note - in indonesia they add sugar to fresh juices so if you don't want sugar in your fresh fruit juice, tell them when ordering.	13
1232	best scenic place with temple and lake. good photographic place. your not allowed inside the temple for worship. more tourist places only. you will see more mist on top of lake which is very scenic view.	4
1233	this temple is cut into a sea cliff and is only accessible at low tide. flowers flow down towards the ground from the cliff and the ocean spray wets your face. see the temple up close from the rocks, look at it from the grassy hill or look out. if you are brave enough you can even hold a huge python. market stalls line the footpath so you can grab some bargains. see the black and white sea snake that is believed to protect the temple and watch people line up to go into the temple to pray. plenty of photo opportunities.	4
1234	as this is the first stop for our trip to bali, the breathtaking view shown at the first sight while we entered the \temple\. maybe it was under maintenance, so actually we only see the \view\ instead of the \temple\. \sarung\ is needed if you are wearing shorts/short skirt, to show respect to the god. beware of the monkeys as it will snatch your belongings especially your glasses. just another \nice view place\ besides tanah lot temple.	2
1235	uluwatu is temple in bali located in south of bali, there is so much fun and attraction around there in the evening such us, kecak dance, sunset on the beach and many more	8
1236	the markets are better than kuta and cheaper and the gils are so friendly	2
1237	had a blast around the tanah lot temple . there à a bunch of little cafes around at the top of the hill where you can have some fresh juice and marvel at the ocean and the temple . definitely recommended. it gets really busy after 4pm due to the performance.	17
1238	our driver recommended this after the uluwatu temple. we were tired and really enjoyed his insistence on this. great view with the ocean waves crashing right in front of you. find a restaurant with tables on the beach for an awe inspiring meal.	8
1239	if are in bali.. don't miss this extraordinary beautiful temple campus. it's between a big lake and lots and lots of travelers around the world. it also have restaurants inside who provide decent food. if you have time, you can go for boating as well.	2
1240	love bali - great family area loved my first trip to bali and all that it had to offer safe beware of currency exchange booths	2
1241	there are two things that famous pura uluwatu luhur. first: the beautiful of temple on the edge of the cliff. second: the mischievous monkeys. tip: not recommended for visitors who wear prescription glass, because it is definitely going to be the main thing taken by the monkeys. tip: hire a guide will help to away or obstruct the monkeys to taking our things, but be sure to deal on the fee of guide services first. tips: its better to leave all the items that might attract the monkeys, for example: eyeglasses, jewelry, hats, etc, in the car. pura area is widely, and quite a lot of objects that can be enjoyed, especially the edge of steep cliffs that can be the object or background of an interesting photo. tip: located at the western end of the bali, this temple is going to be a wonderful place to enjoy the sunset. besides temples, funny behavior of the monkeys in this area also can be exciting entertainment, but it is not suggested to interact with the monkeys in this temple area, since they tend to be aggressive.	8
1242	well worth the trip up the mountains to this cool and peaceful temple. the gardens are beautiful and the lake side setting are unique.	4
1243	a lovely temple to see and visit. you pay to go in i think we paid 35000idr then if you want to see the “holy snake” they make you pay a donation and if they don’t like the amount make you pay more. if you want to be blessed by the father you have to pay a donation (i thought the purpose of a donation was it was voluntary) but the father doesn’t mind the amount. we visited on low tide so didn’t have to go through the water otherwise would have been hard with my 2 year old and a baby. lovely gardens to get some photos in. and some markets to do some shopping in.	4
1244	it's a quite a long way to reach this temple, but its definitely worth an effort. location of this temple is very impressive, right on a edge of a cliff with beautiful view over the ocean. most of temple structures were closed for visit though.	4
1245	i was there few times. i like the view, and how ocean hits the rocks, so you can also get some fun in tanah lot. don't forget to touch a holy snake in the hole. i didn't find good place for eat there, but on the way back around 5 minutes we found good and cheap warung disini, very cozy place. so recommend you to visit both.	17
1246	awesome temple complex. while the lake had receded during bali's dry spell, the temple is exquisite. while a major tourist attraction of a main highway, very much worth the stop.	2
1247	we arrived there around afternoon ish. took a lot of pictures and walked around. then we went back to the main temple and saw locals crossing the water to get to the temple in the middle. so we got on to it too! then we did the whole \cleansing\ ritual before you ascend to the steps.	4
1248	uluwatu temple is one the balinese temple. the temple has splendid views of the ocean. one should visit during evenings to enjoy the sunset.	8
1249	this temple situated on the lake is an absolutely beautiful setting. the views were lovely even though it rained while we there.	4
1250	yes you are up ridiculously early, yes you travel on bali's back roads for an eternity and yes the second you hit the top you get offered coca-cola by about 100 people when all you want to do is have a brew and a sit-down for a minute. but despite all of that it is still absolutely brilliant and a must for any bali trip. what i will say is that if someone tells you that it is an \easy walk\ then they are lying. i saw a few people literally being dragged up there by their poor guides. but anyone with a decent level of fitness shouldn't have a problem. i carried my two-year-old up there in a rucksack without any issues.	2
1251	the place is good for pictures but only from far as they don't allow you near the temple during high tide season. may be it's more beautiful during sunset but we went there in the afternoon and it was really hot. no 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.	2
1252	on the west coast of south kuta you'll find a most amazing temple site. i went early in the morning before the busloads arrived. it is such a beautiful site that it gets many visitors. a small fee to enter and a broad walk down an avenue with monkeys eating the morning offerings. best not to wear sunnies or carry things as they are quite cheeky and love to steal your things! the walk up to the temple viewing point is remarkable. the classic view of the pagoda on the point and the most amazing surf break just below. there are caves and the water is crystal clear. great for photo shots. this was my favourite temple site in all of bali. close by to jimbaran and nusadua good for a day trip.	2
1253	this is a complete tourist trap. all the photographs you see neglect to show the beach swamped with people. the temple is underwhelming. the coast line opposite the temple is more interesting. we were here this week in low season with the hotels at really low capacity so i imagine it will be much worse in high season.	4
1254	everything about this place catches the eye. the temple, the cliffs, the sea, the monkeys! it is a very popular place day and night. lots of nationalities taking photo after photo of the stunning views. you can walk either side of the main temple getting different views along the cliffs. there are monkeys about and be aware of and respectful to them. a must see when in bali whatever time of day. although the sunset would be spectacular.	2
1255	one of the most beautiful places in the world (although that can be said about practically everywhere in bali). even without the temple and the grounds, the seaside landscape is gorgeous. but the temple is the kind of architecture that makes the landscape look like it was created specifically for the temple to be there! find out in advance what the tide schedule is. at low tide you can wade across (with the help of guides) 15 or 20 feet to the tiny island the temple is on. unfortunately, i spent too long exploring the grounds on the mainland and got there just as the last visitors were returning and no more visitors could go across. but it was still worth it, because it was so beautiful.	2
1256	one of the post cards of bali. like the breeze, cool areas, nice temple almost like floating on the high water volume of the lake. its become so crowded in the high seasons	2
1257	we went because it was the tourist thing to do. we're glad we did but won't likely go back - once you see a thousand monkeys you kind of get all monkey'd out. be careful of the scammer who sits up near the temple with the cemetery nearby. he'll tell you a story about his dead wife, take you for a little tour of the temple then try to sell you a small postcard sized painting he claimed that he did in a secluded corner.	14
1258	there is a charge to visit here, but it was only a few pounds and it has been laid out for you to spend an afternoon here. there is huge parking area and then almost a whole town full of shops and places to eat and wander around within the grounds itself. the temple is lovely for photos and you can go to foot of it for a blessing, but cannot enter temple itself. worth stopping for drinks or food to admire the views	4
1259	very nice day tour with the scooter from legian. we first went to balangan beach to chill then went to uluwatu for sunset. loved the ride with scooter going here.. took about 20mins from balangan. its a tourist spot so expect massive people. monkeys come out during sunset and watch out they like to grab on anything hanging or food.	8
1260	the temple is nice and has a great view over the sea! love it. but be careful with the monkeys! they tend to steal/grab things off from you and that might ruin your day. we witnessed a monkey jumped onto a lady and grabbed her sunglasses off her face!	14
1261	not worth missing at all...let this be your first destination in bali... looks like a floating temple in water with cloudy hill at the background and lake body...mesmerizing, scenic, picturesque, breathtaking, etc. etc. you can hold your view and then cannot hold your cam... there is also boating on the lake side an i recommend for the motor one...which s quick and with same good views... behind the main temple premises lies a small greeny area which is again worh taking pics and staying a while.. bali is incomplete without a visit to ulun danu....on your way back you also can visit flee market, which is ok to buy if you can bargain well...	2
