Nothing.

The staff were excellent and went out of their way to help us. I loved the afternoon tea you got every afternoon and the balconies in the rooms were perfect to relax on.

Tranquil and beautiful location away from the hustle and bustle of central Ubud. Plenty of good restaurants within a 10 minute walk and the centre about a 20 minute walk. Our room was an entire bungalow with huge terrace where we breakfasted each morning. It felt very special.

Might have been our weather but we struggled to get towels and washed clothes dry. Pillows were a bit hard. Their bathroom towels need renewing to match the excellent ones for the pool.

Quiet location but a cheap taxi (grab) or 20 min walk to main centre. The spacious room and balcony was exceptional. The traditional buildings are wonderful.

We organized airport pickup through the hotel and it was a horrible experience. Our assigned driver Pak Bebas went to the wrong terminal (fine, mistakes happen, but it was how he handled the aftermath that was unacceptable). Instead of coming to get us at the correct terminal, he led us on a ridiculous rabbit chase-telling to meet him at a circle K, then at the arrival pick up zone, then back at arrival hall- all while screaming at us over the phone instead of listening. We dragged our luggage all over the airport while being yelled at by this man for over an hour.

Excellent staff and service. The gardens and outdoor shower overlooking the rice fields make for a very serene environment. You can order breakfast each morning to enjoy on your private patio, and the free shuttle service to town is great! You can also request free pickup, but we just used Grab for return trips (only around 60K). Monkey Forest is within walking distance.

This was our second stay here in the last three years and we would’ve appreciated if the hotel had updated their linens (new sheets, pillows, and new towels).

We love this part of Ubud. It’s located in a quiet village just south of the Sacred Monkey Forest with several of the best restaurants and cafes in walking distance. The staff are exceptional and greet you by name every time you leave and return, and are happy to assist you with any requests right away. The rooms are integrated with nature in their indoor/outdoor design and the property itself is infused with traditional Balinese magic. Seeing fireflies during our evening swim and while enjoying the outdoor shower was a highlight of this stay.

Nothing, everything was amazing

The accomodation was just beautiful, very spacious in all aspects, gave that feeling of authentic/traditional Bali. Comfortable king beds, beautiful lush tropical gardens filled with birdlife and cute little plantain squirrels were funny to watch. I absolutely loved the pool area and the staff were so friendly and helpful, it was great to have a driver service to get into town. 2 nights was not enough!

As the rooms are surrounded by nature, you do get some bugs and animals inside. Half of our family didn’t like this but half didn’t mind it!

Alam Jiwa is beautiful. The location was perfect, close to the monkey forest but far enough away to not have too many on your doorstep. The breakfast was amazing - you could either have this by the pool, in the reception/dining area or in your room. The staff were wonderful. There was a free car to the centre which was brilliant. The views and surroundings were gorgeous. We loved our stay!

Everything! We felt immersed in culture and beauty.

The staff were so attentive, every detail was considered. Manik was fantastic, giving us recommendations and clearly he knows the area inside out. The hotel is a tranquil paradise, with beautifully tendered gardens.

Nothing to say here.

Everything about the property was just perfect. It exceeded me and my family’s expectations!

No faults whatsoever

The staff were so lovely and discreet. The villas (we booked 2) were to die for. Set on the edge of rice fields and jungle gardens. All very colonial and relaxing. Breakfast on the private veranda was a daily feast.

Just loved this place! We slept so well too. The location was great for walking into town and lots of cafes and restaurants very close by. The staff make this place even more exceptional. The design of the hotel is beautiful and it’s right next to some rice fields and farm. They offer a taxi drop and pick up into town as well, nothing was any trouble. Breakfast was fantastic too, lots of choice and very yummy. We will definitely stay here again

Wow what a gem! Really loved the area - it is very, very quiet, green, a lot of beautiful cafes, but still very close to the city centre. The hotel staff is so friendly and attentive! Ready to help with anything.
