If you want peace and quiet from the city, this is the place to be! (Or other villas in this strip) It was beautiful; every corner you turn in the villa was a photo opportunity! The staff was so friendly and kind! They were fast and on point with their services! Definitely recommend this villa for your stay! Both pools are beautiful!

The outside area and the pool was really nice. The room was okay, the bed was a bit uncomfortable. There was no fridge, and only 2 free bottles of water per day. For the price, I would expect more. We found that the Mosquito net was just for show, so if that matters to you better to put on some repellent or spray the room before sleeping. The wifi was very average, especially at night.

This hotel has everything. The rooms are clean and spacious with lots of privacy and excellent views. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking the pool where we enjoyed coffees in the evenings. There are 2 exceptionally clean and beautiful pools. The staff are always attentive to cleanliness and keeping pool towels stocked. The restaurant food is delicious but there are also a dozen wonderful restaurants on the same street - which is relatively quiet and walkable. The spa service is inexpensive and relaxing. The floating breakfast is fun and inexpensive also. Of the dozen villas I've stayed at in Bali, this is the best!

This property was sadly not as advertised on several levels. We booked 8 nights and had to find another hotel after enduring three nights here. First the internet rarely if ever worked. If your traveling this is a big deal as you cannot make plans for your days. We reported this on several occasions only to be told it’s the tower and thus not there fault. The rooms were run down from the front door not locking to the air conditioning not working to only having one channel on there tv which was unwatchable. Now the reason why we could not stay under any condition are the large snakes in several of the common areas. Also the wood panels by the pool have rotten wood and we saw mice underneath these and as such there were snakes in the area. We recorded this and reported it and management was completely unresponsive to our concerns. I finally had to demand a meeting with the hotel manager as he avoided us as much as possible. He finally agreed to let us leave although he demanded I pay for the entire 8 nights no matter what conditions they provided. I finally got him to agree to let us leave penalty free as we were afraid for our safety because of snakes and the rooms were not as advertised. When we checked out I was told the manager decided to charge two extra nights as a penalty even though he had just agreed to none. I never saw him again as he apparently left right after we met and was not responding to his employees calls. This property was such a complete disappointment.

Birthday Surprise
This staff is amazing! I had a birthday over my two day stay and I told no one there about it. To my surprise on my birthday there was a knock on my door and when I opened it three staff members were there holding a plate with two pieces of cake and candle. They sang “Happy Birthday” to me as I tried hard not to get misty eyed. Thank you for showing me a kindness I will never forget!

Beautiful space, some functionality issues
It’s a good hotel. Service is also great. I had a problem with my bed on the first night and so they didn’t charge me for that which was very kind. I was travelling with a friend and sharing a twin room. The bathroom situation was complicated as there was no door at all. Also no shelves or soap dish hanger or anything at all to put stuff in in the shower area so it was pretty to look at but not so functional. Shower also had a glass wall and with the blinds not completely being shut.

Villa Sonia was an oasis of calm. Just a short walk (20 mins) away from the centre of Ubud. The hotel have a shuttle service four times a day for those who cannot make the journey by foot, or just prefer to be driven. The cleanliness and attention to detail at the hotel is just wonderful. Villa Sonia is located at Nyuh Kuning village. There's a sweet bakery just up the road, and a good quality (locally priced) restaurant across the road. Staff were wonderfully helpful. When I arrived I was replenished with a welcome drink, and also given a complimentary foot massage.

So pleased with this hotel. Friendly helpful staff in beautiful surroundings. Travelling as a small group we had people staying in all three of the room types and really liked them all - spacious, clean and well appointed. Pools were fabulous - clean and clear and surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. The restaurant had a great variety of options and we enjoyed the buffet breakfast options. The onsite spa was a bonus. Staff really went out of their way to help and were extremely courteous. The daily shuttle into nearby Ubud was really useful but it was also easy to walk back from there.

We booked a super deluxe room with pool access and it was a lovely spacious, clean room. There was a small pool right outside with loungers. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was included and was really good - cereals, fruit yogurt, omelettes, bacon etc... a good choice. The villa is in a very quiet area on the quiet side of the monkey forest so it felt so relaxing and peaceful. It was very beautiful. There are restaurants and bars on the same road or you could walk 10 minutes around the monkey forest to the busier area. Perfect for us and what we wanted. No complaints at all.

Really lovely hotel with helpful staff. Lovely large clean room with balcony and large bathroom. Great pool area with infinity style pool. Able to walk to the main street in Ubud in around 10 minutes (but watch out for the monkeys!) which meant it was just far enough out to not be loud and busy but still easy to get everywhere. Would definitely recommend for a couple looking for somewhere to chill and use as a base for exploring Ubud!

Peaceful escape from the tourist frenzy
Villa Sonia is a lovely hotel on the edge of the crazy tourist frenzy that is Ubud. Located on the far side of the monkey forest from the town center, its design allows the rooms to face on quiet jungle and the beautiful swimming pools rather than the crazy motorbike superhighway that is the main roads. The staff is extremely helpful and nice, and the food is delicious. My room had a lovely balcony where I could sit in the cool air. My only complaint is that there isn't a screen on the balcony door, which meant having to keep the doors closed and the aircon running to avoid mosquitoes.

Amazing hotel, near monkey forest
We visited bali for prewedding shoot and this villa made us feel like as if we're already in our honeymoon. Before our trip, we have been trying to look for affordable Villa for not having to pay for high price. Undeniable, villa stay in most parts of bali can be costly. On the day of check-in, we were greeted warmly by all the staffs, and were given cold towels & cold fresh ginger welcome drinks to freshen up. Once we entered to our villa, both my fiance & i were stunned by the look of our villa. There were two swimming pools and our villa was facing to the biggest pools. The area was so serene and quiet. We felt as if we're lost into another world. My fiance totally didn't wanna leave the place. We didn't take the breakfast menus for our next day mornings as we wanted to explore the popularly raved cafes/restaurants around ubud. Villa Sonia is also geographically located to many of these cafes/restaurants. The whole of ubud is not allowed grab/uber to get us out of ubud, so we had to take the taxis out and it's taxis all around ubud. you might have to check with the prices with a couple of them and do some bargains. As we had to head to Kuta the next day, so we booked our taxi through the hotel. We'll def be back again!

Beautiful resort with amazing staff.
My partner and I stayed at Villa Sonia for 4 days as a quick getaway. My birthday fell on one of these days and the staff surprised me on the night of my birthday by bringing a lovely birthday cake (candles and all) to my room, singing happy birthday. The grounds of Villa Sonia were immaculate and the staff were amazingly friendly and welcoming. We had a pool access room which was spacious, clean and had direct access to the second pool. Before booking Villa Sonia, I read other reviews on Expedia and a few of them noted that the wi-fi wasn't great and neither was the breakfast. Although simple, I found the breakfast really nice as it was predominantly an Asian selection (Nasi Goreng, Indonesian pancakes etc). The wi-fi was a bit slower in our Villa as it was further away, but we didn't have any major issues connecting. The location of Villa Sonia is ideal. A short walk past the monkey forest and you're in the centre of Ubud right near the marketplace and Jalan Raya. It took us about 15 - 20 mins to walk from the hotel to the centre. A highly recommended place to stay!

Lovely villas in Ubud
Lovely little hidden gem in Ubud, one of the location we loved most in Bali, which offer great value for a very fair price. Perfect as a base from where to visit different parts of the island but still offering a nice and relaxing frame for those hours you want to relax on a pool. We chose the Deluxe VillaStaff and were very satisfied. Staff is very friendly,helpful and efficient. Would definetely come back.

clean place near monkey forest
Bed is super comfortable and room is clean. AC works great. Big breakfast. Close to monkey forest but a little further walk from center of ubud. only wish there were more free shuttle service at more times.

Amazing private villa's on the quiet side of Ubud
We were looked after by the wonderfully friendly staff who went above and beyond throughout our stay of almost two weeks. We were amazed at how close we were to the shops (on the other side of Monkey Forest) and because of the location there isn't the usual hustle and bustle of Ubud's main streets. We walked most days but there is a regular shuttle which is handy (or a taxi to the market costs $5AUD). Breakfast options were good and the coffee always came hot. The pool area was a favourite, it provides plenty of sun but has shady areas too. Each afternoon when we came back to our room we were greeted by two origami towel animals on the bed and there is much attention paid to keeping your experience as mosquito free as possible (including fogging of the outside areas). We can't stress enough how amazing our Ubud experience was and this is largely due to our choice to stay at Villa Sonia, the staff are nothing short of exceptional.

Well Situated Elegant Property
Four nights, three villas at back pool. Two beautiful pools, quiet, lush gardens, well-equipped rooms, responsive staff, reliable drivers, ample parking, substantial breakfast, adequate menu, central location; can walk to the palace. Mixed drinks inconsistent, slow service, but very gracious staff. Effective pest control. Morning yoga. Property cut off from central Ubud by Monkey Forest. Use free shuttle (no return provided), beware Monkey Forest shortcut has blind corners w/lots of scooters. Or pay small fee to MF and enter and exit near Sonia. However, exits not well marked, monkeys aggressive. During our stay, construction noise behind pool villas, staff moved us to huge villa w/private garden/pagoda at no extra cost. GREAT staff!!!

Perfect villa in Ubud!
Had a wonderful stay for my first time in Ubud as a solo traveller. The villa itself hit me off at first sign with its amazing garden and the vibe right at the entrance. The location was also great that right next to Monkey Forest and a shortcut to night market and Ubud center which you can get in within 3 mins walk. They have one of the best staff I have seen with the service they provide. Very friendly, professional, polite and supportive. The best part of it was when the heater in my room didn't work, they made it up by upgrading me to private villa with my own HUGE terrace and garden, which gave me a totally private moment to relax on my own. How nice! The only issue I have is internet wasn't that fast and got cut off suddenly for quite some times. Will def come back!
