The Purist Villas is perfectly (for us) situated slightly away from the busy downtown. The front desk was helpful in arranging car transportation to and from the hotel. The hotel itself is a gorgeous oasis and we loved our villa. The cleaning and grounds staff were amazingly efficient and detail oriented. The spa and restaurant were excellent, and the front desk was so helpful. We even planned to squeeze in a last lunch of delicious noodles from the restaurant before we left for the airport! Highly recommend this hotel. :)

I have to say I was extremely disappointed with the Purist Villas and Spa. It started right from the beginning. We were told that they would have to charge my credit card again because my account number changed and they said they would refund the initial charge, after charging my card again for the entire hotel stay, I was told that the refund will take 14days. What? If I would have know that, I would have not agreed to charge my card a second time. Then in the room the AC was not working properly. At night we woke up sweating. It was colder outside than inside our room. We had asked to get it fixed, but the first night, no one came and the second day, it worked for a little while, and then stopped working again. Also we noticed that our luggage was gone through, my husband wallet was in a different spot from where he had left it. As far as I kow nothing was missing. There were stains on the curtains that separated the toilet from the bedroom. The pool area was not as private and secluded as expected. We saw employees going up and down the stairs while in our private pool, but the worst thing was on night 2, our last night. It was raining heavily outside for an hour and our roof was leaking and rain water was dripping on our pillows while we were sleeping at 3am. Considering that this trip was for our 20th anniversary, I was extremely disappointed. I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. I expect more from a 4.5 star hotel with a price tag like that.

River villa 3 was gorgeous. The quality of the materials used to build the villa and the property in general was top notch. The decor of the bathroom was so luxurious it felt like a mini spa. The most awesome part of my stay was the service. All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating. They remembered my name and made me feel special every day. On my birthday the staff surprised me with roses a flower bath and dessert. I loved staying at The purist and was so sad to leave.

Thank you once again ‘Purist’ for being a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of tropical BaliI. I have stayed here three times now and it just gets better each time. I stayed with friends in the Hill Villa and it felt like paradise. Special thank you to the staff who are so attentive and lovely. Will hopefully be back soon. Anne

Purist Villas is perfectly located just north of the core of Ubud. Their free shuttle service into the centre of town however makes it incredibly easy to go enjoy the food and culture of the city, if you can drag yourself away from the comfort of the villas, the spa amenities my girlfriend enjoyed, and amazing pools. Beyond the ultra-comfortable rooms (the detailing of the suites blew us away) the included breakfast was better than most we were able to purchase inside Ubud or in tourist-heavy Seminyak or Kuta. Service was also fantastic, where it felt like our rooms where cleaned every time we stepped away to a meal or to the city. We'd definitely recommend this for couple or families.

The staff were so attentive to our every need. The villas are beautifully appointed and comfortable! Altogether, a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Fantastic hotel, staff, food, spa and yoga! The pool villas are beautiful and enormous!

BEWARE: $500 mysteriously disappeared from the safe, and had to chose between working with Police for hours or do tourism on our last day at checkout. A nice t-shirt also disappeared. Apart from this, the place is excellent, so just be careful with your stuff.

Service is excellent and the villa was very well stocked with everything you need. I had a bamboo pool room and it was very spacious.

Purist is one of the best hotels in Ubud. There are fancier name hotels but you will not get a better value or more personalized service than Purist. It is a beautiful boutique hotel just close enough to the hustle of central Ubud. Purist was a lovely tranquil zen like home base for our adventures in Ubud.

Great stay. It would have been better if the pillows are more cozy. Thanks very much.

This place is paradise, it was completely beyond our expectations. The whole place is so beautiful I never wanted to leave. The villas are huge, spotless and beautiful. The staff were so friendly, they went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We didn’t have a private pool but it didn’t matter as the 2 main pools were always so quiet! We would come back in a heartbeat!

All staff are helpful and friendly, good services all the time, excellent breakfast with lots of choice. Quiet and beautiful villa. Free shuttle bus can also access Ubud market and the town easily.
