Hotel berhampiran Puri Semarapura, Bali

The direction and road leading to the resort can be tasting especially at night. Narrow road and no streetlamp. It's a sanctuary by itself and it's excellent just to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Far from any amenities and it's inconvenient to move around. Private chartered car is a must; no Grab no Gojek; unless you take local taxi booked via hotel. Moving from room to lobby and dining areas requires much walking up the slope/stairs (cos the hotel is like perched on hil). You can ask for a buggy service (they have 2) and are subject to waiting time if many requests. Room was splendid and view was canopy. WiFi was strong. Room came with complimentary packs of chips and 3 cans of soft drinks. Toilet has no door and showering could be cold cos of air-conditioning. Breakfast was simple. Buffet spread of basic menu like drinks and pastries. One could order from menu. I find this was good cos less wastage Overall, resort personnel were polite and attentive!

We have recently returned from Bali and started our trip at the Pari Sudha in Ubud. When we arrived it was late and very dark and to be honest, upon arrival we were a little concerned about what to expect as found ourselves in a very local area which looked very run down. Once we walked down the small alleyways to get to the hotel, we were so happy to see such a beautiful place. It was an experience for all of us, my 16 and 14 year old are used to hotels of a different nature and this was such lovely change. The rooms were clean and well looked after. Waking up in the morning to the jungle in front of you and all the colours and sounds was truly lovely. The staff are so very kind and helpful and go out of their way to assist in anyway possible. Breakfast was fab! If you are looking for a small hotel with a difference, away from it all in tranquillity then this is definitely worth considering. Highly recommend. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our stay magical.

Great Stay We had a great time at Element Ubud. The staff were super friendly and helpful, though some could improve their English a bit. Big shoutout to William at breakfast, he was super attentive, spoke great English, and totally got what we needed and more.

The most incredible hotel I’ve ever stayed at. From the moment you arrive this hotel is absolute luxury. The rooms are huge. The welcome gin and petals in the bath are beautiful touches. There’s a brown makeup towel which shows their attention to detail. Breakfast is ab unlimited a la carte with incredible food. This hotel is everything and more. Daily excursions and activities! They even help you get a scooter. I wanted to stay in the infinity pool and jacuzzi forever. My mind was blown by everything at this hotel. I’ll definitely be back.

Our third stay at Dwaraka was just as amazing as before. This small boutique hotel is stunning. The staff cannot do enough for you. The hotel is situated just outside Ubud. We walked into Ubud centre easily but wouldn’t do it in the dark due to the lack of street lights and pavements. But the hotel run a complimentary shuttle service or a taxi is cheap. There are a few good restaurants close by. We stayed in a pool villa looking over the small rice fields. The villa is very big and very beautiful as is the garden and pool. We felt really spoiled and privileged to be staying in such a wonderful villa. We have also stayed in one of the regular rooms on a previous visit. These are lovely too and also very big with wonderful views from the large balcony. There are two gorgeous shared pools and you have them almost to yourself. They close one off for you if you want to have a floating breakfast. Breakfast is fantastic. We only had a couple of meals in the restaurant. We found the food quite expensive compared to similar restaurants in the area, although not the drinks. The food was good depending on what you choose. The local dishes were probably the best. The private romantic BBQ was fabulous. We booked direct with the hotel and took the package which included an airport pick up, hour long massage for two and a private romantic BBQ dinner. All in all fantastic value and difficult to beat. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Dwaraka and can’t wait to return. Thank you to the wonderful staff who know how to treat their guests.

Excellent stay at the Asvara. Quaint quieter area of Ubud that still had plenty of local restaurants and lots of rice fields to overlook. Stayed in the 2 bedroom villa which was outstanding. Some of the decking just needs some TLC. Massive thankyou to all of the staff who were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend to others.

It’s not a bad hotel. To summarize I’ll write pros and cons- Pros- service, quiet area, amazing staff, very helpful. Specially Dewi, Arira or similar best staff ever. This hotel people only come for the service but everything else is just below average. It takes a lot for me to write a negative review. But this experience made me do so. Cons- Wi-Fi doesn’t work! Even after asking the IT guy who said he’ll do something but actually didn’t do anything. As it had speed or 3mbps and kept on dropping. - Buffet breakfast - very average, the staff tries hard to please you. But the food is very very average. I mean not even 1 proper bakery items. Balinese coffee just doesn’t cut it. I’ll give it a rating 3/10. - Rooms are basic, pretty old, beds make squeaking noise, suites have nice view but everything looks old. - There is no afternoon tea although there is a sign in the lobby that states there is. - shuttle only runs twice a day 11am and 4pm. This hotel is about 8kms away from Ubud main shops. And the shops around the hotels aren’t many. - Spa at hotel - OMG don’t even try it! I had booked and got this oldish lady “Ayu”. Who basically was just touching my body and not even putting any effort. I literally had to leave the massage after telling her about 10 times to put more pressure. And then she tried to charge me for the whole hour which I disputed and then she said ok I’ll charge you for 30mins. I asked her if she has another staff which I did see when I started the massage. And she says no we don’t have anyone. Worst massage ever!!! - You must rent a bike to enjoy if you do decide to stay in this hotel. - Food and beverages are expensive compared to shops around the place but the service is amazing. For example an Ice coffee is $5.50AUD which is what I get in Australia. And veggie Pizza is around $10. Bring your wall plug converter if you are staying at this place. Villas were amazing as due to great staff I got to see inside them. Suites- are just standard bedrooms with balconies. Rooms have jet pumps to wash ur bottom, has hair dryers, small empty bar fridge. House keeping staff are amazing. The shuttle to Ubud shops you must book them before hand. There is a river that runs but you won’t be able to see it as the small trees that grew around it has blocked all the view. Pool is small but nice, there are towels and hot shower options. - TV only has channels which aren’t in English and the network is so bad that you can’t even watch it. Very old TV’s in suites. - you can rent small scooters for about 100k IDR from hotel.

Amazing hotel ! I enjoyed my stay there 🥰 the service was amazing , thanks for the welcoming tea . I upgraded my room to deluxe room cus I wanted to have a bathtub and it was the best decision. The room was very spacious, very clean and authentically beautiful . I had 2 balconies and one of them had a view to Agung mountain 🏔️ The hotel located on rice fields which is very unique and pretty , there are some locations for your pics . The hotel also has a pool, gym, spa and restaurant. I liked the food and everything. Thank you!

I always love staying at Komaneka Rasa Sayang when in Ubud and have stayed there many times on my own, with friends and with family. My last visit was with my brother who joined me from Cape Town. He absolutely loved it. The service is exceptional and I always feel very spoilt by the amazing staff and it does feel like it is my second home in Bali. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Ubud. From the moment I arrive, I am always welcomed back like family. The rooms are so beautiful and spacious with gorgeous bathrooms and balconies with daybeds overlooking lush greenery. A jar of home made cookies and fruit basket is a lovely touch. The hotel is set back from the main road but it is so peaceful and only steps away from the centre of Ubud with lots of great shops and restaurants and the monkey forest. The pool area is beautiful and relaxing surrounded by palm trees, nature and the sound of running water from the river below. The staff are so attentive at the pool and it is a great spot to enjoy the daily complimentary afternoon tea. The breakfast is delicious and has lots of variety. The restaurant setting is beautiful overlooking the pool. If something is not on the breakfast menu, just ask and the staff will go out of their way to make it for you if possible. I wish to compliment Ari at reception for her exceptional and always polite and friendly service. I did miss seeing Ibu Desak and Sitiari this time. Can’t wait to be back there again
