Great service and beautiful location. The villas are spacious and have a private pool. Also provides free shuttle service to Ubud's areas of interest.

Everything about The Samaya is incredible. Service is out of this world. We had a villa with pool, completely secluded but with views over the rice fields. Even for a night it will make your trip to Ubud unforgettable.

We are family of 5 and stayed for 2 days in 2 bedroom with pool villa. We felt excited from the ride on buggy after check-in, and the excited feeling lasted until we had left. We could have breakfast in the villa, but the view from the restaurant, "the terraced rice field', was good enough to go out to restaurant for breakfast. Also, the complementary afternoon tea provided in the same place was good enough. It was very useful that the shuttle was always available at any time up to Ubud city. However, the traffic in Ubud city was so crowded that it look somewhat more time to get to the city than we had expected. During the stay, I loved the free minibar and dialy refilled fruit basket. However, the pool of villa was 1.8m deep, which made it difficult for young childern to use it, but all the other facillities including spa bath and the amenity, and the kindness of staff was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I hope I can visit again.

Amazing villa. Beautiful pool. Staff are genuinely helpful and kind. Shuttle service to and from Ubud town. Great spa massage. The GM, Wayan and the Food and Beverage manager are friendly and spend time talking to guests to ensure guests are enjoying themselves and are well looked after during their stay. Any issues are addressed timely and efficiently. Lovely stay!

Thanks all Samaya staff for their sincere welcome, and great view, and dinner at the swept away is nice.

My husband and I had such a heavenly time at this resort. The staff was so friendly and helpful, they always knew our names and were extremely helpful and polite. They were very attentive and knew anytime we left our room so they could do turn down service early and quickly. The grounds are tropical and lush. The villas are very private, lots of space, and quite frankly, nicer than the over-water bungalows that we stayed in for our honeymoon. This is one of the nicest villas we've been lucky to stay in. For what you pay, you get so much! The villa is gorgeous and so spacious. Your own personal plunge pool with a patio, a covered pagoda to relax in the shade overlooks a pond with coi. The room itself is also very spacious with an equally impressive bathroom. Fresh fruit is in your room every day and you can let them know what you like/don't like. Free breakfast is included and you can opt to have breakfast served in your villa. Free shuttle service to town anytime. They offer free activities like yoga, hiking, etc. We did the yoga; very relaxing way to start the day. We often didn't see guests and felt so relaxed the entire time. The restaurant at the resort is one of the most famous in Ubud, which was a great surprise as a guest. It's along the river and is quite the backdrop. The grounds are vast and you can walk around easily or they have golf carts to take you wherever you want to go. I was very sad to leave. I highly recommend this resort and will come back again!

Great hotel with one of the best service I have experienced. However our room needed maintenance. Stains on marble , walls and bathroom need to be repainted.

Have stayed at Samaya several times and always go back for the amazing service, beautiful views, great villas and location by the Ayung River.

Absolutely fantastic property, great views and luxurious. The restaurants and service was outstanding & the spa was great too.

Amazing experience (again)! We visited Samaya Ubud for the third consecutive time and words fail to describe how wonderful we have been received, and how amazing our time has been there. The staff was very friendly and helpful with dinner reservations and shuttle, and they absolutely spoiled our 2 year old son who was ecstatic about the buggy. We loved our privacy in the villa, with our pristine pool and sun beds, and a huge fish pond.   Towels were changed 2 times a day (wow!), and we received fruits and cakes every day. To us, Samaya has become a second home and it was this feeling that made us return so many times. After Samaya, we spent a couple of nights at another private villa (same star category!) meeting some friend who stayed there, and we unfortunately came to regret that decision. Many thanks to Wayan, Gede, Mahendra, 'uncle' Eddie and the entire Samaya staff for their professionalism, hospitality and friendliness. We can't wait to see you again next year!

Amazing place. The only thing I wish was different was heating the pool. It was too cold to swim. Everything was incredible and super cheap!!!!

Great hotel not far from ubud centre. Amazing location and rooms with attentive staff, nothing too much trouble. Will return.

I loved this resort so much. There are many choices for brekfast menu including Indonesian, egg benedict, pancake...., which you can eat as much as you want. I also enjoyed the view of rice paddi and forest from a restaurant. The resort is surrounded by forest (or jungle) and it is very quite since thu number of rooms is small despite huge area. I strongly recommend a dinner at Swept Away restaurant. Services, food and wine are excellent and the atmosphere is quite romantic at night. I want to come back there...

Absolutely beautiful grounds that were extremely well looked after. You cannot fault this place - the day Spa is wonderful, the villas are beautiful, the food is delicious. Above all, the staff are amazing. Everyone goes above and beyond to make your holiday special and nothing is too much trouble. We will definitely be back.

The Samaya Ubud offered us a fantastic week long stay. Everything was exceptional...service and staff, high quality chef style food available morning to night, butler on call, spa, concierge...simply the best resort hotel we have been lucky enough to find. Always friendly staff went above and beyond. Small details and large were perfect. Our private "100 candles dinner" at sunset on the river, catered to our tastes, was unforgettable . They spoilt us the whole week and we wonder if all other resorts will fall short. Breakfast overlooks rice paddies. Dinner restaurant has seating that overlooks a river . Food can be served at your own private pool/garden too. Paradise .

Great place to stay to get pampered, have a romantic time with your wife and enjoy all the amenities on site. The 100 candle dinner is special and very romantic.

It's a little like being at the secret hideout of a Bond villain: you are whooshed around the site (which occupies the edge of a steep valley down to the river at the bottom) in golfcarts by 'butlers' and at every point there is an assiduous member of staff seeing to your needs personally. The riverside restaurant has both excellent ambience and impressive food. The villa itself is thoughtfully designed and the pool is (unlike some) both deep and big enough to provide an excellent opportunity for fun as well as exercise. You really ought to spend a few days here if you're looking for a bit of tranquility and wishing the smile would return to your careworn face. it will!

We had the most amazing time at The Samaya Ubud. The Villa was immaculate. It was very tastefuly done up. Ayung river was gushing past just next to the Villa. We also had the 100 candle dinner. The setting is surreal and the food is other worldly. Also a special mention for the breakfast. The restaurant has a view to die for, the selection is very extensive and the preparations are fantastic. The property is very well maintained and the service is just spot on. A big thumbs up to the Samaya!

The Samaya excelled. You come off the chaotic dusty roads of Bali into a tropical hideaway, where you are treated like royalty. We ate two dinners in the open air restaurant with a background of rushing river, and breakfasts overlooking rice paddies, a feast for both eyes and stomach. Service was friendly and impeccable. We enjoyed day trips to nearby Ubud and further north to temples and rice terraces, using hotel organised cars & drivers who were so reasonably priced. We were only there for a few days but could easily have used it as a base for exploring further north.It is such an individual haven compared to the bustle and scurry of Bali.If you want to avoid the mass produced Bali this is the place for you.

Fantastic staff, beautiful villa and very scenic around the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay, but a couple of days was just not long enough! Loved the afternoon tea by the pool at our villa... Downside was that it is a 10-15 min drive from Ubud town centre.

Everything about the Samaya was amazing--the service, the accommodations, the food, the available excursions! I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel. I can not wait to go back! The hotel is nestled in the mountains and about an hour to an hour and a half away from the hotel. The spa was also wonderful. I give this hotel as many stars as I am allowed!

wonderful from all aspects except the location
