    Our stay at Villa Wastra was truly wonderful. The place is very quiet, which was perfect for us since we work night shifts and need to rest during the day. Maria and all the staff are so kind and welcoming, and the breakfast was always delicious. One small suggestion about breakfast — it might be nice if it were set up more like a buffet, so guests could easily help themselves and choose their table, instead of feeling a little awkward reaching for food while others are seated. But honestly, this was not a big issue at all. What we really loved was the extra touch of hospitality: every afternoon, the staff brought us tea with local snacks, which made us feel like royalty. Those little details made our stay extra special. When we come back to Bali, Villa Wastra will always be on our list — it truly feels like home. 💛

    Villa Wastra is a very special place. A visit to Villa Wastra enables you to imagine Bali before the arrival of global tourism. Surrounded by nature, it's situation and views are spectacular. The amenities are excellent and spotlessly clean. Not least are the friendly staff and Ibu Mariah who takes care of every detail.

    Our stay here was truly unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, Maria and her staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Maria is such a warm and friendly host, always taking the time to chat with guests and make them feel at home. We also requested a dinner during our stay, and it turned out to be one of the best meals of our entire trip—an absolute highlight that made our experience even more special. The accommodation itself felt like a big palace, with breathtaking views that made us wish we could stay forever. Every moment here was magical, and we can't wait to return! Believe me, we've traveled the world and experienced our fair share of luxury hotels. What was different, Maria place feels like a homestay while you have your own entire big privet room, batheroom and kitchen while you can exprience the home local food and learn the local culture and stay with family.

    Staying at Villa Wastra!!! it spoiled the rest of our trip! After leaving for another part of Bali, all we could think about was canceling the rest of our plans and going back to Maria’s place. Suggest you stay there at the last before you leave ;) If you want to geth around here you have to have a care or should use taxi as it is in countryside. We had our own car so it was perfect.

    I was unprepared for how grand the buildings are. As other reviewers have said, the photos do NOT do it justice. It felt like a miniature palace with the stone walls and glossy stone floors. The breakfast pavilion is a thing of wonder with its views of the valley, the pool in the other direction and the intricate carved wood pillars and door entrance. Tini is the most amazing cook. She produced tons of delicious food, and I felt bad that I could only eat a few mouthfuls of each dish. Mariah, the owner, was very helpful on WhatsApp. She organised a woman to come from Ubud to do a massage for me, which was great.

    The wifi wasn't working at the start of my stay. As I had to work, this was difficult - but it was working on the morning of my departure. There were no other guests there, so I joked that I felt a bit like Belle in Beauty and the Beast: Just me in this glorious palace with invisible staff! It was beautiful, though, and I felt like a princess.

    Villa Wastra is probably the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. It’s true that it is not a centric as other places in Ubud but if you’re looking for a place off the beaten track where you can unwind and just listen to the birds chirping, this is the place. We were lucky to be the only guests, which made the experience more unique. Besides, Maria, the host, was extremely helpful and caring. I actually cried when leaving the house.

    Thank you for your kind comments. You were grateful guests. Have an enjoyable trip traveling through Indonesia!

    villa wastra is spacious and beautiful. the rooms are gigantic, you feel like royalty. excellently equipped and pristine. i loved the terrace, pool and the host who spoke perfect english and was able to accommodate our requests.

    the only downside you should take into consideration is the remote location so it is a bit of a fieldtip to go anywhere. even tho, perfect for a couple days of relaxing and recharging in nature.

    Had a really nice stay at Villa Wastra. After a long driveway you'll reach a beautiful secluded villa which immediately felt very quiet and peaceful to me. This is the perfect place to come to rest and enjoy the view, also the room was huge! The owner Maria is very nice and I had really nice talks with her. In the evening its possible to get a really good homecooked dinner here and in the morning you can enjoy a great breakfast outside with a great view.

    The only thing I can think of is that the wifi connection in my room was not strong enough, on the other hand its sometimes also nice to be offline. Especially in a place like this:)

    Thank you for your nice review. WiFi in the mountains very often depends on the weather. We will do our best to improve.

    It was such a big luxurieus place in the middle of nowhere. Very quiet, it felt Royal. Very nice staff, very nice rooms, Abundance in quietness.

    No AC, but no need, because it quite cool. Lack of proper restaurants even at a scooterable distance away.
