Reviews Summary
Jembong Waterfall is praised as a beautiful, hidden gem with clean, cool water and unique man-made pools, including a charming heart-shaped one. Visitors appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and scenic surroundings, though some find the entrance fee a bit high compared to other waterfalls. The steep trail can be challenging but is manageable with proper footwear.
"Absolutely beautiful cascading waterfall in the most peaceful scenic surrounds with very clean water that chanels down to a large pool below and wading pools. Great new road from the south which leads to the village access, there's approx 20m section of road which is a little narrow but still accessible by car which brings you to the parking area. For a lovely change you climb approx 30 stairs to the waterfall and return downhill. There's a small Warung at the base. There was a flying fox, but no longer in use. Highly recommend 👌"

"rare 5 star review. a real hidden gem. relaxing pools (cold war that naturally filters out due to the moving water from the falls) and really cool waterfall that flows down a man made cascade. small snacks and drinks stand as well. i didn’t think it can be reached by car, at least the road we came in, but a car did appear in the parking lot later. quiet, unique and secluded. this is definitely one of the better attractions in the area. the road from singaraja is also wide and well maintained. definitely worth checking out."

"Beautiful waterfall and the area around. Easy access. It is little pricy at 50k IDR. You get lot more for less at Aling-Aling waterfall series."
