"It is only 50 rupiah entrance fee and you have to buy it at the entrance where the gentleman is collecting entrance free from various vehicles. Despite it is a extremely confine space... 1 glance sees it all kind of place. Also, you have to pick their sarong and somehow it fits our attires perfectly when photo was taken. Inside you could see age-old praying place and some are only open during ceremony. Since it was a relaxing holiday and it was a public holiday, I enjoyed the last 30 minutes before they close for the day. It wasn't meant to visit because we headed to the beach prior to this.. but is all good. We end up taking "Instagramable" photos. Just sharing some here..."

"Masceti Temple in Bali is a deeply spiritual and serene sanctuary that beautifully embodies Balinese Hindu traditions. Nestled amidst lush greenery, this ancient temple is known for its protective powers, especially in safeguarding rice fields and villagers from harm. The temple’s vibrant ceremonies and rituals showcase the rich cultural heritage of the region, offering visitors a glimpse into local devotion. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the intricate architecture and sacred offerings, creates a profound experience for all who visit. Masceti Temple is a tranquil retreat where spirituality and nature harmoniously blend, making it a meaningful destination for those seeking cultural and spiritual enrichment."

"Very disappointing experience at this Temple. The 50k entrance fee to enter includes a sarong that they provide you along with a cloth piece to secure it. This can very well be tied by oneself or perhaps with help from the people whom you’ve travelled with.

However, the ‘guide’ and his assistant try to tie it for you before you can do it yourself and they do it extremely tightly which felt pervasive. The assistant was especially shady as he quickly grabbed the cloth piece tied over my sarong when I was about to remove it myself and hand it back (this was under my poncho as it was raining so it would be challenging for someone other than myself to actually reach this cloth to remove it). It felt like a set-up because the ‘guide’ is elderly and takes a long time to climb down the steps and walk back towards his post at the car park gantry. So, in the meantime, this assistant can handle the sarong situation because no one is currently next to us to tell us how to end our visit. It was a clear attempt at crossing physical boundaries that bordered on harassment.

As for the Temple itself, the architecture was pleasing and a lot of history can be garnered from it. The main sanctum was closed so deities could not be viewed which leaves one to wander about outside where some trees and structures are located. Nothing out of the ordinary from other buildings found in the vicinity.

Also, the ‘guide’ mentioned above keeps following you and he does not explain or storytell in any way. So what exactly is his role I wonder? Why are visitors not allowed to take in the place on their own without a presence following them, much less one who seems to have no information about the place which would have greatly enhanced one’s experience.

The place is almost fully open air with only a few sheltered platforms but I am unsure if visitors are allowed to take shelter ( certainly no invitation was extended to us despite the ‘guide’ chilling away in the sheltered area to protect himself from the rain).

The beach is a stone’s throw away and perhaps a much better place to visit. Take note though there is construction going on so it may be a challenge actually getting to the shore."
