Arrival FAQ

Are arrival and departure transfers included in the accommodation rate?

Travel to Arkaluna before check-in and onward travel after checkout are arranged separately and are not included in the accommodation rate. If you would like help arranging a private transfer, please contact our team in advance so we can confirm availability and the rate for your route.

Can I rely on Grab, GoCar or other online transport apps when departing from Kintamani?

A fare shown in Grab, GoCar or another app does not confirm a ride from Kintamani. Long-distance drivers may decline, cancel or request substantial extra charges. Confirm the journey and complete fare directly with your driver. Independently booked rides, driver coordination, fares and disputes remain between you and the provider. Arkaluna does not negotiate, mediate, reimburse or subsidise these rides, or guarantee replacement transport at short notice. Subject to timing and team confirmation, we may assist with a drop-off at Starbucks Kintamani. Our assistance ends there; your onward ride remains your arrangement with the app provider. For a more reliable departure, arrange one of our trusted local driver partners through Front Office in advance. We’ll confirm the route, availability and complete price before travel.
