Nasty vendors, tiny temple.
Ridiculous entry cost, and incredibly rude (Verging on outright abusive!) sarong hawkers. Don't bother giving them the time of day. The temple itself is nice enough, if very small and a lot of sections closed off for prayer. Getting there and dealing with the village people is probably not worth it.

Nothing special
2 hours trip, 35K for a ticket, 300K for sarong, which all must wear (so regretted I didn't first read some of the comments bellow), big temple, nothing special compared to other temples, so much closer and cheaper, and the only thing which was worth was the view. I would never go again there.
