Lovely hotel set right by the rainforest, great get away if you are looking for peace and quiet and very helpful and friendly staff. We loved our balcony! Would recommend this hotel.

This was our fourth visit in the Ubud region - we've previously stayed in the middle of town, to the west in Penestanen and to the north in Junjungan. This time we wanted to try a little further out of town for extra peace, quiet and lots of nature. This is exactly what we got at Puri Saron Madangan. The Pros: it's in a beautiful lush, quiet setting; it's decently maintained; the staff are super friendly - especially the managers Sapta and Ketut; the pool is beautiful; we upgraded from a standard villa ($50pn) to the delux villa ($120pn) for the last 5 nights - sweeping jungle views, open-sky bathroom, separate living and bedroom, upstairs and downstairs balconies. The Cons: it is 40 minutes (sometimes longer) from Ubud so you will need to factor in transport time and cost if you're getting out and about every day (we rented scooters for 3 weeks via the hotel - but found it hard having to travel in on busy main roads everyday; there are no cafes/warungs at all near the hotel; the hotel restaurant food is very average; wifi was not working during or stay (but prepaid phone sim did the job - Indosat is by far the best coverage at Madangan...$12 for 7G of data).

It's very rural in this area, with a few small villages nearby but not much to do or see. The resort however is beautiful, very comfortable and the room is nice. The view from the balcony is great too. There's nice cold AC and a hotel restaurant downstairs. The only downsides are that is the only restaurant you'll be eating at, and there was no wifi when I was there. It is nice for a relaxing weekend or if you want to escape ubud traffic.

Excellent experience!

Loved nealy all of it. Just what i wanted peace and quite. Food very little vegetiarian food had to make the two options go a long way. Its a long way from anywhere book transport before you go.

Good.. good.. good.. good.. good.. good.. Good.. good.. good.. good.. good.. good..

Very relaxing. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Stayed for 2 nights. Beautiful area of Bali. Hotel could be amazing - Unfortunately in need of some maintenance. Included breakfast was lovely.

Escape from the tourist throngs and the constant harassment of the street sellers. This beautiful hotel is a diamond in the rough. Whilst it is a little far out of Ubud, approx. half an hour, this ensures that it is peaceful and we totally enjoyed experiencing the real rural Bali. Set on the side of a mountain amount rice fields. We really enjoyed the hotel pool and the jungle views. The staff went beyond the call to ensure we had everything. We enjoyed walking to the local villages and interacting with the locals and consuming the local food and drinks including home made rice wine at a road side stall. We would recommend this hotel as a get away, especially if you have access to transport, but it only costs 150,000 for a ride into Ubud.

Wonderfully placed in lush green surroundings. Must have been beautiful 25 years ago, but not maintained. Rooms are damp and pillows and curtains black with mold. Don't go. Food served there is way below standards of Bali. School girls - sweet as they are - are not professional staff, and you cannot help feeling a bit sorry for them. But it is your holidays! We checked out after 1 night.

We're on a 3 week visit to Bali and have been staying all round the island. This resort is in a remote secluded location right on the edge of the rain forest. We were really impressed by the whole presentation, rooms, views, pools, staff and service. I'm only sorry we couldn't have stayed here more nights during our trip. The nearest city is Ubud, and they have a daily shuttle going there if you want to visit a busy Balinese city.

Beautiful hotel but it is about 40 minutes drive from Ubud. Hours of the free shuttle to ubud is very limited. Otherwise you can pay their driver 150000 rupia to take you in. Situated in a tiny village there is no opportunity to find a restaurant to eat at or a place to get a massage. You are restricted to the hotel restaurant and massage. Breakfast was terrible took on average 30 to 45 minutes to get toast if you could call it that. Perfect place to relax if all you want to do is relax by a pool and not really go anywhere. Menu is very limited and the English skills of most of the staff is quite poor. Best thing about the hotel was the room and the driver.

We had a wonderful time & were very happy with this hotel, only wish it was closer to town. Breakfast in our room were best Nasi Goreng ever & dinners the same. Days were spent out of hotel but always greeted on return & dinner sorted by manager.

This place is gorgeous! We loved it here. It's a little bit out of the way, but we had our own car, so we got around pretty easily. The buildings are amazing and beautiful. The room is large, spacious and very well-kept. We had our own balcony plus a breakfast nook. I loved swimming in the pools in the mornings. The Indonesian breakfasts were quite good, but the Western breakfasts were a little sparse. We didn't try any other food though. You cannot beat this place for the price, though. Absolutely would stay again.

Absolutely great stay at the Puri Saron Madangan. I was basically the only hotel guest and the grounds and pool are stunning and lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. A few things to note - while "English style" eggs and toast and fruit breakfast was great every morning, I did not enjoy the first dinner and ate in Ubud town after that. The hotel is decently far from Ubud, about 30 min drive. Would recommend having your own transport if you stay here. They offer a daily drop off and pick up service but the timings aren't great if you want to have dinner in Ubud. The hotel is older and there are certainly some areas needing improvement - like updating the bathrooms and having nice tolietries. But for the price - and the serenity of sitting on your huge balcony with a great breakfast overlooking the jungle, I am willing to compromise.
