Reviews and Ratings
The hotel surprised me with its lush and green surroundings and two unique yoga shalas on-site, offering a tranquil escape just a short walk away from Ubud's vibrant center. While the rooms fell short of expectations, the friendly service and enjoyable dining experiences made up for it, offering a relaxing and fascinating stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were absolutely gorgeous with high ceilings and wooden floors, and they were very clean. I loved overlooking the large patch of greenery with a delightful outdoor bathroom and balcony to lounge on before a retreat. The service was top-notch - the staff were amazing, friendly, and really helpful in organizing excursions for me during the annual Ubud Writers and Readers' festival. The location was perfect, out of the hustle and bustle of the Monkey Forest area but within easy walking distance to convenience shops, restaurants, and massage places. The rice paddies within the complex were absolutely stunning and gave me something wonderful to explore. The dining experience was kickass as well. However, the only downside was that in certain areas, the wifi coverage wasn't strong.
I stayed at a lovely hotel with spacious rooms, a nice pool, and a view of the rice fields. The rooms were very clean, and I especially enjoyed the delightful outdoor bathroom and balcony for relaxing. The bug spray provided had a wonderful scent, adding to the pleasant experience. However, some might find the location a bit far from the bustling center of Ubud.
I was pleasantly surprised by the room, which was very clean and overlooked a large patch of greenery. However, it was not what I expected based on the website, and it felt removed from the rest of the hotel. The outdoor bathroom and balcony were delightful spaces to relax on.
The hotel provides excellent rooms that added to our pleasant experience, with some noise from both inside and outside. The service was super friendly and welcoming to ensure a bother-free stay. The location offers beautiful surroundings with rice fields and friendly staff, though the dining experience fell short in some aspects. Overall, a great value for money stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were not well-insulated against noise and had a damp, humid smell, they offered a more affordable option compared to luxury resorts nearby. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, with slow response times and average restaurant offerings. However, the location provided a peaceful setting near the town center and rice paddies, making it convenient for exploring Ubud's charm.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms in a traditional style, set among immaculate landscaped gardens. While the location is not perfect for watching TV, it is beautiful and peaceful, close to central Ubud and other attractions. The service is friendly and polite, with a rich natural setting, but there were some issues with dining choices and taste.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were not what I expected, and the presence of ants was a big issue. However, the beautiful verandah added a nice touch to the room.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel nestled amidst garden and rice fields. The rooms were really nice, but a better shower facility would have been appreciated. The coffee was not particularly tasty, and there were some flies around, but overall, it was a comfortable experience.
