It's one of those places that you'll feel a little different - grounded and connected. This place is crowded with locals trying to get their blessings and foreigns who want to try the experience. I thought since it's crowded it will be pretty much just one of those things that you do just to get it done with, surprisingly it didn't feel that way. Through Kadek's information and guidance (they do it for free but of course just give tip - he takes nice candid photos/videos too), I have really felt a connection and put forth my intention into the universe. The water was a bit cold since it rained that afternoon and we got there pretty late (almost closing time). Note: the entrance fee is 50kIDR which includes the sarung to enter the temple. If you want to experience the holy spring/water fountain then you'll pay extra 30k IDR for locker and another set of sarung that you can wear while you dip and get blessed.

When we went it was quite busy, but luckily this didn't detract from the experience. We didn't get into the water but just enjoyed the temple, which took us about 45 minutes until we were done. The place isn't too big so you don't need to allow too much time there. When leaving, you leave through a market which houses the pushiest vendors in Bali, so be prepared!

It was beautiful and lovely to be there but be warned, the queues are very long and we gave up going into the holy springs after waiting for ages today and guessing it would be a further 2 hour wait in total (we arrived at 9.30am). If it helps anyone to know what happens, when you arrive they give you a sarong once you reach the temple area and then you head to the locker room if you want to change for the holy springs. You pay to rent the locker and to rent a special sarong to wear in the water, and you leave your original sarong in the water as they don’t let that one get wet. Then you queue up for the holy springs - be prepared for a long wait both in and out of the water!

We visited this temple as part of our tour of Indonesia. We were lucky the it was not high season as the place was pretty full already The temple which dates back to 962 AD from a water source inside the temple which is considered to be holy water. There was ritual around everything. If you wanted to bathe in the holy waters there was a different queue and quite a long wait evening out of season. We had to put on a sarong to cover our legs and could watch the tourists and disciples bathing and praying. We spent about 45 minutes at the temple watching the rituals and taking photos. If you wanted to the part in the ritual you should allow a good two hours.

Was a nice temple to visit, good with a guide to explain the right things to do and not get into trouble. The cleansing ritual is not a must, and you do need to know the right sequence and what to do. There is a large koi pond when exiting, which is worth a look, and be prepared for the marketplace gauntlet when getting back to the carpark.

I may have rated it more if I had done the cleansing ceremony, but I just felt too uncomfortable to try it. Here’s why. 1) The instructions were very unclear for a solo traveller with no tour guide, I had no idea where to go, who to talk to, what the rules were etc. 2) I took one look at the changing rooms and said nope. While it did seem like an amazing experience it was not going to come at the cost of my dignity. 3) The wait times were so long. As all the other reviews state, that line is no joke. 4) Everyone was watching! If I ever do something spiritual I prefer it to be a more private affair, so all the crowds just watching the purification felt very unnatural. 5) I had no idea where to get an offering from (mandatory) Overall if you don’t have much care for privacy and waiting this may be a great experience for you, I however was left a bit dissapointed. However not all hope was lost, there were great things about this temple too. 1) The locals go there to actually pray, give offerings and cleanse in the holy water, it was lovely to see it was still used by the locals and not just a tourist trap 2) The little restaurant inside is incredible, probably the best meal I’ve had here thus far (I wouldn’t get the coffee however) 3) It was STUNNING, the waters were so clear and pure, the architecture was so beautiful. 4) FAT GOLDFISH 5) The stall holders at the market aren’t as pressuring as the ones in the central market which was nice. So in summary, if you don’t care for privacy this is for you, but I wish I had spent a bit more time researching and I may have found a more quiet welcoming temple.

Vast grounds worthy of a pleasant walk observing the ceremonies and people. The worshippers bathing in the holy water is a warm sight that touches the heart. The lively koi pound catches the eye especially at feeding time.

This is another lovely temple which I have been to a few times. Tourists flocking to have their blessing with holy water but do they really know what they are doing or the significance. I feel there is a lot of misunderstanding about this place and before going, do some research and understand it is not just a tourist trap. The spring itself is beautiful and the fish feeding also is relaxing. Be at peace with yourself and take time to understand the meaning.

Cool experience. Get hit the water then your mind turn calm. But for it, take your time. The queue is very long so you need to wait at least 40 minutes to go inside the pool, and then need another 1 hr to take a sequence. If you don't have your own sarong, you need to rent that. For save your time, prepare your own. 줄이 너무 길어서 물 맞으러 풀에 들어가는 데만 40분 넘게 걸렸어요. 그러고나서 또 순서대로 모든 물을 맞으려면 1시간은 추가로 걸릴거같아요. 막상 물을 맞으니 기다리는 동안 몰려온 화가 다 사하지는 느낌이 들어서 시간이 많다면 추천합니다. 사롱을 챙겨가시는 걸 추천해요. 입구에서 빌려주는 건 젖으면 안돼서 안에서 또 빌려야하는데 갈아입는 데도 시간이 꽤 걸려서 본인껄 가져가면 시간을 절약할 수 있어요

This place is full of tourists and instagrammers. Worth it for the trip, but be prepared to queue a long time to bathe if you want to. Honestly - nice to see, but not worth the hype. There’s plenty other nice temples and there’s another holy water site about half a mile away! If you’re just after a photo in the water - don’t bother going as you won’t get one unless you arrive at 7am!
