- like some other reviews have mentioned at ight the way to the hotel is pitch black and there are street dogs barking at you. This can be quite scary especially if you are alone. However the hotel offers to pick you up on the main street to help with the dogs so it’s all good :)

- the friendliest staff - the pool - free drinking water - walkable distance to city center & supermarkets

Nothing!

Secluded oasis 2km walk/taxi/motorbike from town. Lovely to return to and enjoy the beautiful pool after busy (but delightful) Ubud. Comfortable beds, powerful hot shower, strong AC. And finally wonderful team looking after us who couldn’t do enough to help and make us welcome, feel at home - thank you 🙏

A little far from the main centre but very nice quiet location

The rooms were clean and staff were great

The walk back to hotel at the narrow side street is safe, but can be a little intimidating for a solo female at night. better come home with a scooter taxi, they will bring you right to the gate.

Thank you for providing an overall excellent service! All the staff was super friendly, helpful and welcoming. Whatever you need, they are happy to help and right at hand! The communication was super easy via WhatsApp and the facilities are beautifully maintained and in a peaceful and relaxing setting.

We had an amazing stay here. Thanks to Dewa & all the staff! Cafe & restaurants within walking distance & only a short ride into ubud centre. The place was really clean & had a lovely pool. Would highly recommend!

No thing

The place is amazing, it's like a piece of heaven. I don't regret putting my money in it. If you are looking for comfort, I advise you. The staff is good, the people are kind, the manager is great, and the hotel's ideas are out of the box. Also, everything in the room is very developed, modern, civilized, very clean, and beautiful. I want to return to this place on every vacation. I fell in love with the place.

Stray dogs on the road before the entrance were a bit scary but never a problem, they were not agressive nor coming to close to us. Balcony is private but there is no limit with the rest of the hotel floor which is surprising but not disturbing the quietness of the room

Everything was great in this homestay, staff was very nice and helpful, took time to chat about our visits everyday and give us recommandations. The view was beautiful, and you could hear the water and birds from the river from the balcony. The swiming pool very clean, and a pleasure to dive into after a long day. Gordon was the cutest dog. AC week-end well, hot water as well Location was great, about a 30 min walk, 10min drive from Ubud center, but far from the busy streets.

I had a perfect stay at Hanaka Riverside in Ubud! The place is peaceful and beautiful, with a wide pool where you can actually swim — not just get refreshed in the hot day 😂. And everything is spotless clean. The traditional breakfast was delicious in the morning. A special thank you to Gusde, who was always helpful, kind, and made the stay even better. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a relaxing time in Ubud!

As other reviewers have mentioned, larger people, or people with mobility issues might struggle with the smaller bathroom, however I would emphasise that it was clean and well equipped, with lovely hot water. The trade off for the serenity, is a 5-10min scooter to down town Ubud, but Grabs/Gojeks are very cheap and convenient for trips in and out, so don't consider this a significant 'con' - but worth keeping on your radar :)

What a dream! I absolutely loved my stay at Hanaka Riverside Ubud. The canopy of jungle on the other side of the river was stunning, and the perfect, relaxing backdrop from room or pool. I upgraded to Room 2, on the upper level, as it had it's own private balcony (with desk, coffee table and chairs), ideal for a spot of morning yoga, and received lots of natural light from the additional windows! The communal kitchen (with free drinking water!) and dining area offers a unique and special touch, giving guests additional spaces from which to enjoy the view and magical ambience. The pool and gazebo were also gorgeous and inviting!

A little sanctuary quiet. The staff were very helpful walking us past the street dogs and came out to meet us on our return home to walk us past the dogs.

Stayed in June 2025

Only the location was a bit strange, it was hard to find for the first time and had to walk in the dark at night in small streets to reach it.

We loved the atmosphere of the property, in the heart of the jungle💕 also the pool area and the garden was really nice and the staff was always really kind to us! It totally meets our expectations.

Stayed in June 2025

Some reviews do mention stray dogs in a nearby property, the dogs are fine to walk past they just bark but if you are unsure/uncomfortable the staff will help you enter/exit, so no real issue at all!

The staff are so friendly and welcoming made our stay really nice, helped us with our luggage too. Room was perfect and very clean the maid does a great job. It's on a quiet street so very peaceful, pool was beautiful too. Bike rental was great too no issues. Would definitely stay again when we are back in ubud!

My stay here was lovely! The staff were so friendly and helpful. They cleaned my room every day and were really kind. I would 100% recommend. The location is really handy, because you can get into central Ubud easily or the other direction to the rice fields. I came here as a solo traveller and felt very safe.

Stayed in May 2025

Great for me. About a mile to central Ubud. Away from noise. Set back away from road. All pluses for me, but maybe not for some. Staircase stairs are higher than most. Could be challenging for older or impaired people

Beautiful property. Very clean and well kept. Staff were wonderful

The property was a little difficult to find as it’s off of the main road down an alley, but once you know where it is there isn’t a problem. The staff came out to great us and help with the bags.

The staff were incredible, extremely responsible and helpful with everything we needed. Even when the dogs outside made us nervous the staff came out to help us. Thank you Dewa for all your help! They had scooters available to rent at the property and do the proper checks I.e you driving license and make sure you take photos of the wcooter before you head off with it. The facilities were perfect for us, swimming pool was amazing and the view great too. Room was cleaned everyday.

It was all good

Lovely staff (thanks Dewa and the others!), very helpful, great services The place is as per the pictures, clean, well maintained and calm. I disagree with some previous comments mentioning it's difficult to find. The location on Google map is correct and crystal clear. Just trust it. Some comments are referring to "aggressive" stray dogs on the street to reach the place. These are not related to Hanaka and, anyway, they are just making noise when you pass buy but are not aggressive. Nothing to worry about, just keep walking. There is an Indomaret almost next door as well as another small shop if you need quick supply

Stayed in March 2025

There are better locations, it’s ok but not great. And the massive downside is that there is a small stretch of road to walk between the road and the property and it is filled with the most aggressive dogs. Almost got attacked by 3 of them one morning, and it was the closest thing to a heart attack (these are not small dogs). The property is aware of the issue and they can accompany you outside as they are familiar with the dogs. They really need to address this.

Lovely place with a lush jungle overviewing a beautiful pool. Nice rooms, comfy bed, lovely staff and amazing value.

Had a wonderful stay at Hanaka Riverside Ubud. The staff were incredibly friendly, always up for a chat, and super helpful. When we arrived, we were amazed by the stunning location and the breathtaking view, it was even more beautiful than in the photos. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with excellent housekeeping. And all of this for a great price! I would absolutely stay here again.

Taxi had a hard time finding it. No on-site restaurant.

Brand new hotel. Very nice clean rooms with view of ravine. Very quiet and close to a few good restaurants and mini marts. Good size pool.
