    A trip to remember, so ambient like a little stay in a rain forest.

    The living area is not air conditioned and the bedrooms aircon is not cool enough. It is very open plan, which I loved however mozzies were a problem. The master bedroom was quite small and dark and the twin room was huge with view of the pool. It was raining when we were here (nobody's fault) however paths very slippery and I nearly fell several times.

    Staff went above and beyond, especially the 2 women in the spa. I had two glorious facials. Breakfast was delicious and I loved how it was not a buffet. Our villa was lovely and the fruit and free mini bar a bonus. Loved how quiet it was and the ambience of the place

    Everything. We stayed in the Joglo villa and it was exceptional. I honestly cannot think of anything that would have improved it. It was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed at. I wish we could have stayed longer at the Purist (we stayed in three separate locations whilst in Bali). The Purist was by far the best. The staff were great about my daughter’s severe (life threatening) allergies and recognised the importance of careful food preparation. They even prepared some special dishes for her (coconut rice balls and also a dragon fruit sorbet) for the afternoon tea service. The food in general was exceptional and healthy. The beef rendang and nasi goreng (for breakfast) was perfect. I also had one of the best massages of my life at the Purist Spa. I honestly could not find any negatives about our experience at the Purist.

    Massage service was very bad, lack of professionalism. Lack of quality and over priced. Yet clean. You can choose any massage option like 20 times in the city with that price.

    Breakfast is amazing. Room is very good, quite big. Service 24 hrs is very fast, specially at night. Cleaning is good and fast. In room dining for breakfast is super good. Location is good. You can’t walk to the center but it is very easy by car - 8 min.

    My family and I stayed at the 2 bedroom Hill villa and it was the most amazing experience. As many of the reviews mention, the staff here are an absolute delight and we instantly felt so comfortable and well looked after. Shout out to Sudarma, Choki, Depi and Chef Putu for making our stay so special. We enjoyed breakfast every morning and even tried out floating breakfast in the pool. Because it was so hot, it was such a treat to take a dip in our own private pool as well as use the shared pools. It wasn’t too busy at the time of year that we went so it felt like we had the resort all to ourselves. Besides a day trip to explore Ubud and some time exploring the city we mostly stayed at the resort to relax and eat. Well-maintained and beautiful garden and surrounds - it really felt like a tropical jungle escape. There’s so much more to this special place and I don’t have enough words to describe it all - just that, you should definitely stay here. I’ll be recommending this place to all my family and friends and hope to be back one day soon.

    Some parts could be more clean and some upholstery needs to be updated/renewed as they are stained, outworn and/or non-matching colors (in the rooms as well as in the restaurant and pool area). Toilet seats were outdated and replaced directly upon our request. Thank you again for that 🙏🏼 The second pool (furthest away from the restaurant) was very slippery which is dangerous (I almost slipped when I stepped into the pool) and seemed not very clean (algae) and the gym is small and needs new workout materials. Also, the gym could be located in a nicer part of the resort, with better view and larger layout. I would suggest the area above the Spa. The gym also had an unpleasant smell of moist/mold. As someone else suggested in his/her reviews: please update the library with newer books and magazines. It looks a bit sad now…There are still guidebooks in there dating back to 2014!!!

    The staff was super friendly and very helpful from the beginning till the end of our stay. Excellent food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, afternoon tea). Great location; quiet though still near Ubud’s centre with restaurants, cafes & shops etc). Beautiful rooms, lush green environment, nice large pool. Overall, a gorgeous nice design with a clear love for Indonesian artifacts, antiques & culture (some beautiful pieces from Timor). We felt very much at home. Must be mentioned that we stayed during Nyepi (silent day/Balinese new year) and the team did their utmost to make us feel comfortable. We had room service with a fantastic dinner in our room. All impeccable. Thank you dear Purist team, for making our stay so memorable 💕

    No complaints about the property as such. But it would certainly be beneficial if they can provide regular shuttle services to the main road as this property is a bit further inside.

    The villa had two air con units plus two ceiling fans, however at times they were unable to cool the villa.

    The property had two common pools in addition to the private pool at the villa. Lovely landscaped gardens. Super friendly staff, and a excellent restaurant for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea & dinner. The Purist Villas provided free daily transfer into Ubud, but if you want to keep your steps up, you can walk into Ubud centre within 20 min.
