    This was my third stay at this delightful property. This time, I shared a gorgeous, spacious room with my daughter. Amazing views and sunrise over the rice field from the room's balcony with beautiful nature everywhere. Gorgeous swimming pool where we ate the provided afternoon tea every afternoon. Shuttle to available for trips into Ubud but plenty of restaurants near by. Always love staying here and look forward to the breakfast each morning so a return visit is on the cards!

    That I only booked 3 x nights.

    The staff were extremely helpful. The room was traditional and just what I wanted for my time in Ubud. The location is a short walk to a little village where you can find good restaurants, a few shops and massages. There is a car to take you into the main part of town or you can walk.

    This Place is really a hidden gem. I loved everything, the sound of the djungel day & Night, the Peace and quietness, the lovely staff, the wonderful Food & the beautiful Rooms, the garden. All is Perfect, especially it you look for a relaxed stay in busy Ubud. If you Look more for partying, Bars etc this is not it. But you find Spas, Perfect Yoga just 5min walk.

    Alam Jiwa is beautiful and is an idylic traditional Balinese Hotel. The absolute best part, though, is the staff. They are the most warm, welcoming people and will do everything to make your stay truly special. I can’t wait to go back and stay with them again.

    Emery, everything is just so perfect. The whole hotel was like a beautiful garden that was hidden in the secret jungle flowers blossoms everywhere in the night it was unbelievably quiet. Stuff are just so friendly and helpful. Me and my mom had scheduled a tour seeing dolphins so we had to get up at 4 AM. The stuff of the hotel, surprisingly, prepared to breakfast in box for us, can you believe that? This is a probably the best service we had in Indonesia. Thanks again our friends in Alam Jiwa! I’m looking forward to coming back. In the future. I’m serious.

    • Family with young children

    A very beautiful place, south from Ubud, near a rice field with astonishing views and far away from the crowds. Accommodation - the hotel has several unique-style villas, with big rooms, balcony/terrace and a wonderful view to the nearby rice fields. Location - the hotel is south from Ubud (15-30 minutes from Ubud center, depending on the traffic; free shuttle available per request in both directions). The villas are near a small river, with a beautiful view to the rice fields on the other shore of the river. Personal - the hotel stuff was always kind, friendly and smiling. They fulfilled all our requests: using the pool in the evening, after a long day wondering around Ubud; having knife and plates near the pool to taste the delicious fruits we've bought from the local markets. The staff made us feel as we were at home. Thank you! Breakfast/Food - the hotel does not have it's designated eating area or own restaurant. Breakfast is pre-ordered a day before and can be served directly in the villa or in the lobby. The experience having breakfast on your balcony and enjoying the view and the sounds of the nearby nature were amazing! Lunch or dinner can also be ordered and delivered to the hotel from two different restaurants (delivery is free of charge). Transportation - getting around was easy and on a good price. There is a free shuttle to Ubud city center. Depending on the traffic, the ride takes 15-30 minutes. With an additional charge, the shuttle can also drive you to some restaurant or place far from the city center. For my case the price was cheaper than the taxi. You can also book an airport transfer or a car to drive you around - visiting temples, waterfalls, workshops, Bali pird park, Safari, Zoo - whatever you like. Ela, our driver, was very kind and friendly, arranging the trips was easy (usually the evening before the trip).

    Overall, we loved staying in Alam Jiwa, such as beautiful place.

    The toilet seat (side of it, so it was hard to find, maybe..) had BM stain from previous guests and I had to clean, that was sad, and the sink leaked from pipe underneath.

    Everything was amazing. Only thing is that bathroom was a bit dark, and bathtub does not have any grab bars or something to hold on to, so my old mother was scared.

    10 days of relaxing bliss, with wonderful friendly and attentive staff. Already planning to return.
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe Garden View
    • Stayed 10 nights

    Unreliable WiFi. Not enough lounge chairs around the pool (mostly taken over by a single family).

    Staff were outstanding. The property is small in a hidden private oasis, surrounded by green/gardens/rice fields - quiet and peaceful, yet within walking distance of reasonable restaurants, and, if energetic, Ubud (though the hotel provides a shuttle service into Ubud). The architectural style and ambience are traditional Balinese, with comfortable, immaculately clean, spacious rooms well set apart and private balconies. Located in a pretty village near Monkey Forest. Generous breakfast, which could be served on your balcony, by the pool or in a small communal area. Could order in food (lunch/dinner).

    Charming hotel with super friendly, attentive and helpful staff. Built in traditional balenese style years ago it is beatufully absorbed by vegitation. We got a distinct feel of merge with nature. Our room overlooking small river and rice fields boosted this feeling and provuded great views and sounds. Especially in the evenings when croaking frogs accompany chirping beatles. Alam Jiwa is set in quiet neighborhood 10 mins walk from monkey forest. Warungs and restaurants are located even closer and offer diverse food options.

    I would have liked a softer pillow. A suitcase stand would have been great also.

    A really beautiful property in a gorgeous setting by a river. My room was huge with a gorgeous bathroom and a massive bed with a mosquito net. No need for air-conditioning! I had a lovely terrace overlooking the river. I could not have been happier! I like the fact that they had filtered water in the bathroom so no need to buy water. Exceptional staff and everyone so friendly. I wish I could've stayed longer!
