Nothing.

Staff were incredible, and the location was perfect, a quiet and peaceful sanctuary still incredibly close to Ubud main centre. The room was immaculate, food was delicious and the pool was really lovely.

Unfortunately this once quiet suburb of Ubud called Njuh Kuning, now has a lot of tourist development and live music can now be heard late at night from the Main Street, which Alum Indah is set back from. There was also construction happening directly behind Alum Indah, so it is not quiet at the moment during working hours. The rooms are beautiful, but those looking for modern creature comforts of TVs, kettles, hairdryers and fridges need to look elsewhere. The air conditioning unit in our room (Coconut) was also so noisy we ended up switching it off at night. It is important to note that the restaurant, although set in amongst the beautiful gardens, does not serve wine and the menu is mostly Indonesian.

If you want somewhere quiet, well away from noise of busy and congested down-town Ubud, then Alum Indah is perhaps the perfect oasis of peace and tranquility. Set in beautiful gardens the traditional-style Balinese accomodation provides an authentic Balinese experience.

There wasn’t a ‘stand up’ shower- just a bath with a shower head.

The hotel was an oasis of calm just on the outskirts of the madness of central Ubud. Our room was on the top floor with views across the forest. The room itself was large, with a good sized bathroom and balcony area. The breakfast was good and there was free tea and coffee available throughout the day, along with complimentary afternoon tea each day. There was also a shuttle that was available during the day to take you into the centre of Ubud, if you didn’t fancy the 15-20 minute walk. The staff were friendly and always willing to help. The pool provided a nice place to cool down and relax.

There was no bar fridge or safe in the room. However there was a safe at reception.

Located on a dead end road so fairly quiet traffic wise. Plenty of food and spa options close by. Great massage close to property. Amazing gardens and old Bali architecture.

Nothing, It’s a fab place to stay.

Fab location by the monkey forest just outside Ubud but only 10 min walk into the centre. Lots of lovely bars & restaurants very close by. Our 2 storey house was huge with 2 big bathrooms & great balcony with lovely views. Staff very friendly & breakfast was delicious!!

Nothing at all! It is perfect

We liked absolutely everything! This is why it was our 2nd time visiting this hotel! Nestled within the Monkey Forest, this is probably the only hotel that has so much nature surrounding it- crickets, birds and the occasional monkeys, that is all you will hear. Restorative and very serene place with very spacious and clean rooms, with all the necessary amnesties. If you come from the city, like we do, then this place grounds you and makes you come back to your roots in no time! The staff were super friendly, smiling and at our disposal. Would really recommend the massage and dinner (it is like your family from Bali cooked it - delicious and nothing you’d find in a restaurant- try the tempeh with egg plant/courgette- the secret is in the spices! Enjoy every bite!)

Nothing.

Being able to look out over the garden from our balcony was an endless delight. In fact everything was a delight and sooo relaxing. This was a new part of Ubud for us to stay in and is perfect with a short walk to a street of restaurants, shop and local life without being too far from the centre.

The monkeys are regular visitors to the pool area so you do have to watch your belongings. If you are not holding it, they will take it! There are convenient lockers located next to the pool though and the staff do their best to deter them.

This is such a beautiful property in beautiful surroundings, the pool and view did not disappoint. The accommodation itself was done in beautiful traditional Balinese style and was extremely spacious. We loved having a downstairs and upstairs with lovely bathrooms and a gorgeous outlook from the upstairs windows and balcony. It was such a pleasure to wake up every morning. The staff were lovely and accommodating and particularly good with my 3 year old. They all made a fuss of her and even took her to do some drawing whilst we finished breakfast one morning. The food was delicious, and we felt thoroughly spoilt. There are also some lovely restaurants a very short walk from the property and a free shuttle on request into Ubud centre.

The walkway into Ubud was challenging due to all the motorbikes, and sadly the stairs in our junior suite itself got very wet every time it rained and became very slippery. We had to dry them with towels

Lovely setting and gardens. The staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfasts were great

Nothing - animals are a little noisy at night so just take earplugs and the rest just outweights it all!

Everything about the hotel is great, so private and beautiful, the views on the monkey forest is spectacular, we never come back to the same places but this was the first time we did because we just LOVE this place so much. The most comfortable we’ve ever felt. The garden is so beautiful, so well taken care of. The staff is incredibly kind. We came back a year later they recognised us, so we felt even more like home. Their crepes for breakfast also were part of what we looked forward too again 😅. We’d want to make this a yearly thing!!

The bathroom is a bit dated. Minor.

I loved my stay here. The location is fantastic, just out of the hustle of downtown but only a 20 minute walk through the monkey forest to the Palace/downtown. The street is lovely with restaurants, nightclub, yoga, stores, massage ... very safe and quiet. The grounds are gorgeous, and the pool is a welcome sight for a swim in the very warm afternoons. Loved the large room, and giant porch with balinese couch for lounging on. The staff were professional, helpful, and very nice. Food terrific, and the ginger tea delicious. They had a handy shuttle to take you to/from locations. And they organized the taxi to/from airport. Note the grounds are traditional with large stone steps so may not be perfect for those with mobility issues. Recommend.

What is not to like. Amazing place right next to the monkey forrest, away from busy Ubud. Excellent room with outdoor bathroom and total privacy.

Everything was perfect, no negative aspects.

I loved the attention for details and all the stuff, they were incredibly polite and making us feeling at home.

There are a number of steps up to the property and down to the pool. However there is an alternative entrance that also brings you to the main street and is perfectly flat. This avoids the steps up to the property.

Beautiful Balinese style property with gorgeous gardens. Lovely place to chill out. Staff were fantastic, so friendly and helpful. Courtesy car to bring you into central Ubud and back was a great bonus. Breakfast was gorgeous, cooked to order and eaten on the lovely veranda at reception or you can get it delivered to your room. A free afternoon tea with some Balinese cakes was also provided. We had lunch there one day and this was delicious. Swimming pool was in a lovely location from where you could see the monkeys in the monkey forest next door. Village has a few restaurants ,shops and a mini market.

I didn’t love the driver they organised from the hotel, he took us to a temple which was great but upon exit he made us go down a retail maze instead of going directly to the car, unfortunately it was a torrential rain storm and becasue my mum is 75 and we wearing our dry clothes the rest of the afternoon was uncomfortable.

Loved this place. It was the perfect reprieve for my mum and I.

We loved everything about this property. The room was large and comfortable with a lovely balcony and a large day bed for relaxing. Staff were exceptional, complimentary on call drivers, lovely pool with the added bonus of being able to endlessly watch the monkeys in their habitat next door. This property has such a peaceful vibe and is set in stunning garden surrounds. We loved the breakfast selection and the added touch of a library and a book with Balinese folk stories left in the room to read.
