    It was all great.

    Loved the hospitality. The room always had fresh fruits. Their evening tea was also excellent as it was lavish and was included in the stay. They provided a free shuttle service to Ubud city centre which was also very convenient

    Calm, Peaceful and Scenic stay in Ubud
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Ayung One-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool
    • Stayed 2 nights

    While everything was perfect, it is little far from the the Ubud market area and it may take some time due to traffic situations in the Ubud area. Also, I will recommend it for the couples but family with kids may feel little bore due to lack of kids club/activity center.

    Really calm and peaceful place for a perfect stay in Ubud. If you are looking for the luxurious villa property with full privacy, then it is a great place to stay. I will really rate it very high in terms of cleanliness and staff courtesy. Amazing people and thanks to Mr. Mahendra & his team for all the help and support. We enjoyed the river and scenic views. Shuttle service to the Ubud area was really helpful. Overall, I really liked the place and enjoyed our stay.

    Everything was great. Everything I expected from Ubud was here. This is a very quiet and beautiful villa surrounded by sayan’s nature. There are no loud sounds or lights. Here you can just relax and enjoy rich nature. Privacy was maintained, the cleaning was perfect, and I was always able to spend my time comfortably. The hospitality of the hotel manager, Mr. Putu, is wonderful. This team and service at this hotel will truly excel. The shuttle to Ubud central runs 5 times a day and the pick-up times are very accurate. It was very helpful in crowded Ubud central . It was very helpful to be able to communicate with the staff through WhatsApp. If there is a slight problem, they will respond immediately. The views and programs in the spa are amazing. The all staff are also highly skilled and kind! Please believe everyone’s good reviews and stay here. You won't regret it. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff. Please continue to have great hospitality. Next time we will definitely stay longer.

    Not much to add here, perhaps have insect repellent in the rooms.Beyond that, could not fault the team or the service at the Samaya Ubud.

    EXPERIENCE: Staying at the Samaya Ubud was the highlight of our two week vacation in Bali. All staff greeted us with warmth which made us feel welcomed and at home immediately. VILLA: We stayed in the one-bedroom Hillside Villa for 3 nights before extending for an extra night at the 2 bedroom Villa. The private pool was fantastic, clean and well maintained. The king size bed is extremely comfortable, the linens were clean and light, perfect for the warm climate. The bed is centred in the room, surrounded by large folding door windows, offering panoramic views of the garden during the day. The Jacuzzi bath tub is definitely a highlight in the bathroom. RESTAURANT:The views are stunning, the sounds of the river flowing offers a sense of calmness and the food is of great quality. YOGA: Great Instructor, was clear, friendly, and extremely encouraging when we were trying new positions and accommodating if we were unable to do a specific position. Could not have been more satisfied to have had my first ever yoga session at the Samaya. I will always remember this session, and would highly recommend to other beginners and/or yoga enthusiasts to give go. SPA:The spa treatment was brilliant and reasonably priced. The two masseurs were experienced, attentive and made us feel relaxed throughout the session. This was definitely one of our highlights from our stay. SERVICE: The highlight of our stay has to be the staff and service at The Samaya Ubud. You really get a sense that they put their guest’s needs first at all times. Right from the check-in process through the the check-out, every detail is well thought out with the guest in mind. There is a personal touch with the team at Samaya. The staff really go out of their way to know their guests by name, this made us feel really special.

    I shared a couple of minor housekeeping hiccups with the General Manager who I have every confidence will have them addressed.

    Villa is spacious and well appointed. Pool and private grounds delightful. We intended to eat at different places during our stay, but the food at Samaya was so good we elected to eat on site throughout. Do not miss Swept Away during your stay - excellent food quality, presented beautifully in a stunning location by the river, and food is prepared in imaginative and novel combinations by an expert chef and his staff, and served by and equally expert front of house team. You may pay a bit more at The Spa than in the many other spas that abound in Bali, but it is in a great (and unique) location and the technicians are superb, so it certainly felt like good value to us. Only 15 minutes away from the bustle and chaos of Ubud centre, Samaya is an oasis of calm and tranquility. The whole Samaya experience was just right - great personal service, friendly staff, a lovely place to unwind and relax with as much privacy as you want (or not). My highest regards and thanks to all who work so hard (while making it look so effortless) to make this a stand-out experience for guests. We would not hesitate to return.

    It’s hard to fault this beautiful Hotel! I did dine in the restaurant on my first night after travelling all day, the food was very good And my only complaint would be that the staff although brilliant were perhaps a little to helpful. I was a solo traveller and each bite I took, someone was asking me if everything was ok, or could they get me anything. Not necessarily a criticism but did get a little annoying.

    Beautiful stunning hotel, breakfast was very good, private pool was fab and the facilities were amazing. Staff were so good always happy to help, nothing was to much trouble.

    I was welcomed by the entire Samaya Team when I arrived at the Hotel. The team welcomed myself and the family with Flower Neck Piece and Welcome drinks, Gifts for my Daughter and the most important aspect was the team spirit and large smiles that make you feel home. The restaurant facilities either for breakfast or diner are just amazing. I would like to thank the entire team and especially Wayan Angga, Komang Augustiana and Wayananch. Keep up the great job guys Great Job Samaya Team and keep it up.
