Great resort in beautiful area
The grounds are picturesque and facilities well looked after and the villas are in good order. I would suggest asking for a place away from the front of the resort as they are quieter. On site restaurant is good for breakfast and there is a shuttle bus service is offered hourly to the sister hotel in the centre of town. Ubud has plenty of attractions, shopping and dining we had to plan a day just to stay by the pool. Would stay here again.

Outstanding scenery and service!
Amazing hotel very well located within Ubud. One of the nicest hotel I have stayed at with a excellent service and staff. Varying breakfast everyday and outstanding scenery. Highly recommend it. We spent for nights there and never had a complaint. The villas are amazing and the private swimming poils, outside bath and showers and central bedroom make for a very unique experience.

A friendly haven which could do with updating
A welcome haven away from the madness of Ubud. Lovely grounds with some nice touches such as a daily free afternoon tea and the hourly shuttle bus into Ubud. The main pool was beautiful as were the restaurant buildings and the grounds. However, our villa felt very tired - the indoor and outdoor shower both trickled out water, despite using at different times of the day (i.e late at night or afternoon when demand was likely to be lower) and the ponds in the villa were really dirty and murky - the fish could barely be seen. Internally, the villa was nice but the fixtures and fittings could do with some updating / refeshing. It was a little disappointing given the price point of the villas and the fact that the hotel boasts many luxury boutique hotel accolades - it didn’t feel particularly luxurious, in my opinion. I stayed in 2 much nicer quality hotels in Bali on this trip for less money per night. Perhaps we were unlucky with our villa allocation. Despite our disappointment with the quality of the room, we found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming; the restaurant food was lovely (we only ate there one night) and the breakfast set menu (changing daily) was a refreshing change from the repetitive buffet set-up.

Jungle getaway
The ubud village resort is situated on a luscious, beautiful green setting, with an authentic feel that would be hard to rival. It’s truly in the jungle, and you are reminded of that with breathtaking views across the whole site. We stayed in the pool view villa, which was amazing. It had its own pool, 3 day beds, a small kitchen and many other great things. It was very spacious and luxurious. The only slight problem is that, because it really is in the wilderness, there are a lot of bugs. But this is easily countered by closing your doors at all times. The pool area is amazing! The pool itself is massive, and it’s design is truly breathtaking. It overlooks the grounds of the resort, filled with fruit, reeds and a beautiful variety of well-kept plants. Overall it was a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for that authentic ubud getaway!

Amazing Ubud Resort!
We had an amazing stay at the Ubud Village Resort & Spa. The hotel itself is extremely relaxing and surrounded by rice fields. The location is great for walking (or taking the free hotel shuttle) to local Ubud restaurants and bars. The private villa was incredible and somewhat affordable in comparison to others we looked at in Bali. We loved the staff and would definitely stay here again next time we are in Ubud.

Great resort, spoilt by a non working drainage.
This resort is for people who really wants to get away from it all. It is quiet, out of the main tourist spots and facilities are just sufficient for a comfortable stay with minimum modern day comfort. Facilities are adequate. However my room was below par. My drainage was choke the day I checked in. It didn't get fixed even by the day I checked out.

Your own slice of royalty
As soon as you arrive you realize this place is amazing. Very relaxing and the staff are always smiling and looking to make sure everything is taken care of for you. I had a villa that was amazing. My own private pool and a view of the what seemed like the forest/jungle made me feel like royalty. The room was comfortable and I loved the outdoor shower. They have activities scheduled daily and a great buffet. This place is great.

Ubud paradise
We absolutely loved our stay at the Ubud Village Resort. The grounds and the villas were beautiful, the service was top-notch, food was astounding and the location - just a bit out of the bustling center of Ubud, overlooking lovely rice paddies, but close enough for a long walk into town - was exactly what we wanted. Because it was low-season and we were staying for a week, the hotel gave us a generous upgrade. We loved our private plunge-pool for "secret" swims and we had not one but two private day-beds under thatched grooves. The villa itself was so luxurious with indoor and outdoor showers and a deep tub for two. We certainly didn't want to leave! The daily breakfast was unbeatable, with choices between western favorites (eggs benedicts, waffles, etc.) with Balinese traditional foods - and everything was cooked to foodie-pleasing perfection. The rotating breakfast menus (in seven days it's Sunday menu, then A, B, C, A, B, C, and Sunday again) works great, even for long stays. And the views from the breakfast, across rice paddies being worked traditionally with the distant mountains - was just so ideal. The grounds were also lovely, with a peaceful large main pool with poolside service and a complementary afternoon tea service. We were sad to say goodbye to the staff as they really took care of us like we were family!

While I found Bali overcrowded with tourists and Ubud snarled with traffic, this hotel was a sanctuary from it all. We rarely left our villa with its own pool and two Balinese day beds. Restaurant at hotel was great. Staff was constantly checking everything was okay.

Great hotel in Ubud, close enough to city center
Beautiful property, food is wonderful and plentiful. Shuttle is great, very prompt, we also walked to town and back a few times. Spa is very nice. They have a tea and cakes tasting from 4-5pm everyday. Staff helped us set up excursions and rides. The staff is very nice, helpful and friendly. They are open to complaints and compliments. The vilas are spacious and clean. They are indoor outdoor and can be opened up pretty well. The staff does a mosquito set up at night during turndown, the entire property was fogged on Sunday around 5pm. We left the property for the fogging. The A/C works very well. The staff decorated a bit for our honeymoon and made us a cake which was a great gesture, very appreciated. I can echo other reviews that the pools are a bit cold for out tastes but it wasn't stoping us from using them. I would share what we told them, there were things that needed to be fixed. The light was out in the entry and the door to the villa had issues. The door was promptly addressed after we brought it to the hotel's attention. Notes to travelers: there are creatures that inevitably got into every place we stayed. You learn to appreciate/tolerate them as this is an indoor outdoor living type country. Mosquito nets are appreciated and we definitely used them. Tip... while there, take the Paon Bali cooking class, climb a volcano if you can, and ask the hotel about driver that hotel set up for us, lives next door very helpful. We wished we had met him sooner.

Disappointing
Our stay was not what we anticipated and nowhere near what we know about Balinese hospitality in our over 10 years of visiting the island. Probably, the hotel staff was busy attending those guests who left the previous awesome reviews based upon which we also chose these villas.  This is the first place we experienced that you actually have to pay almost 50.000 Rupiah if you want to serve any type of coffee at breakfast (you only get reg coffee and tea at no cost). Also, if you wanna serve your breakfast in the villa you have to pay another $10. This was quite bad because we traveled with a small child who was whining and crying on and off, so I'm sure the other guests were not too happy about during breakfast. Another major con is the super slow wifi. We've heard other guests complaining too, and we were told the IT guy was working on it, but nothing changed. Reviewers were talking about small lovely details that made the place special. For us, they forgot to clean our room although we called them and asked them to do it in the morning, they kept leaving 2 towels instead of 3 although we were 3 persons, they left us without soap one day, and the evening before departure they didn't even bother to fill up the oil-burning candle. Unfortunately, the staff lacks the professionalism required for a 4 1/2 * accommodation, although Mrs Juri is trying hard to compensate for it. There are so many villas in Bali that you can't afford being so careless with your guests.  On the pro sid

This hotel was very nice in every way. From the staff to the grounds to the food- Amazing! The staff goes out of their way to make you feel @ home. Everyone @ this resort has a smile & says hello. The food is very good although I highly recommend going into town for most of your meals. The white water rafting is a must & you won't regret it. Ubud Village is a 5 Star for sure!

Amazing resort into the rice fields
Our experience started with cold refreshing towel and a nice welcome drink. The villa was amazing with its local touches and the private pool. The outdoor shower and the bathtub were in the middle of a small botanical garden. The breakfast menu was changing everyday and everything was really tasty. The infinity pool into the rice fields and under the palm trees was dreamy. We took a half day tour and had an awesome time thanks to our friendly driver. Amazing experience!

Amazing villa & resort. Outstanding staff.
The resort is beautifully situated amongst rice paddies, yet only a few minutes from town. Our villa was amazing. Private, clean and HUGE! The outdoor shower & bath were fabulous. The plunge pool (cooler than the main pool), is good for a quick cool-off or to dunk feet after a day of walking round Ubud, while the day beds are the perfect spot to relax, read or just watch the kites. Food at the resort was first class. The complimentary breakfasts were varied each day. Afternoon tea consisted of some savoury & sweet delights. Food from the restaurant, whether dining in, delivered to the villa, or ordered at the pool area was always of a high quality. I highly recommend Ubud Village Resort & Spa to anyone, and also recommend Ubud as the perfect base due to its central location making it easy to get around. Shopping in town is good. There's lots of variety, virtually no-one hassling you on the streets and no concerns when exchanging money. My words really can't do justice to our stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Nothing was too much or too difficult for them, and they never stop smiling! The personal touches make you feel very special, like you're part of the 'Ubud Village' family! If you're looking for a wedding venue, Ayu & Team went above and beyond. We were married in our villa courtyard and couldn't have asked for a better day. It was perfect. Thank you to everyone involved. We're already planning next years return!

Beautiful hotel, wonderful staff & excellent food
We could not fault this hotel from beginning to end. You really have to see it to appreciate how utterly beautiful the hotel and its grounds are; the pool is magnificent, the little restaurants are wonderful and the views are spectacular. We were welcomed warmly with a drink and cold towel and received exemplary service throughout our stay - including learning new Balinese phrases! The food was incredible and great value for money; breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful and couldn't do enough for you - something common for Balinese staff, it appears. We cannot recommend this hotel enough for a romantic getaway; we can't wait to return as soon as possible!!

Nice Resort
Spent 3 nights at the resort at the end of May 2016. The overall experience was lovely, the food was excellent as was the service. The room was very nice though a little tired and need of some minor maintenance. Only complaint would be that because the plunge pool wasn't in the sun much it was too cold to swim in, would have been nice if it was heated just a bit. Location was good, outside of the main village but a free shuttle bus is provided so access was easy. Also great for getting out to other areas of Bali without having to deal with the traffic in Kuta and Seminyak. Ubud is also much quieter and over all nicer with less street hawkers. Can't beat the value. Wouldn't get anything like this in Oz at the price we paid. Expedia deal was awesome with the best flights with Virgin.
