Madu Sari Hotels & Restaurant is located opposite to the view point of Mt. Batur, one of the active volcanoes in Indonesia. The restaurant is a part of the hotel property and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Our tour operator had organised a tour of the area and lunch at the Madu Sari Hotel & Restaurant was part of the package.
As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tour operator had arranged for Jain vegetarian food for me, while my wife was served non-vegetarian Indonesian-style cuisine. The staff at the restaurant had made a sincere effort to cater to my dietary preferences, and I appreciated their efforts.
The buffet spread included a variety of Indonesian dishes such as nasi goreng, satay, and mie goreng. The non-vegetarian dishes were cooked in the Indonesian style, with spices and herbs that were unique to the region. My wife enjoyed the food and appreciated the flavours of the Indonesian cuisine.
The Jain vegetarian food, on the other hand, was not as flavourful as we had expected. The dishes lacked the spices and herbs that are usually used in Indian cuisine. However, we appreciated the effort that had gone into making the food and were happy that the restaurant had tried to cater to our dietary preferences.
The ambience of the restaurant was pleasant, with large windows that offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The service was prompt, and the staff was courteous and helpful. The restaurant also had an outdoor seating area that was perfect for enjoying the views and the cool breeze.
In conclusion, the Madu Sari Hotel & Restaurant is a great option for those who are looking to enjoy Indonesian cuisine while enjoying the stunning views of the Mt. Batur. While the Jain vegetarian food could have been better, we appreciated the effort that had gone into making it. The non-vegetarian dishes were a hit with my wife, and we enjoyed the overall experience at...

We stayed in this hotel one night.. I will share some photos for you to make a whole picture about the place.
We paid 200.000 ird for one night, which is (surprisingly) very low price for this area (in other places in Bali for this price you can stay in very decent places).
Pros hot shower, receptionist (guy who also cleans the rooms) was really nice to us - gave us freshly washed towels and tried to help us.
Cons we stayed in the room named Arjuna - room is in very bad conditions (we ask for another room, but there wasn't any..). room and shower was dirty (hair, dirt...) and mold - on the walls and on the pillows (I know that here is high humidity but this is really bad ....). and one last surprise on the wall by the toilet, I didn't examine it, but I hope it was piece of mud (not piece of shit😅) - you can see also on the pictures.
Honestly now we are laughing to it but it was freaking horrible (I didnt sleep half of the night😅) - but I strongly recommend, dont go there :D at least to this room. (I have to say that when we were leaving we saw from outside a few rooms which had new windows - so maybe there are some better options, BUT we dont know...
Read moreServing buffet lunch, was seated in front with unobstructed view of Mt Batur. Unfortunately we got only 5 mins of great view before mother nature (fog) came down and we could not see anything thereafter. However, super friendly staff, always eager to assist. All food was warm (or hot), the chicken and fish satay was freshly bbq-ed, fresh fruits available (the guava was awesome!). Had bits of everything and it was fulfilling and tasty. Cosy environment, clean toilet, chill weather. The restaurant has views of Mt Batukaru, Mt Batur and Mt Agung. Great place for photos and of course, to eat. For those going to Kintamani, better get there before 12noon as the fog (in our case, fog and rain) started to...
