Familys in Ubud

Had an awesome time here in ubud, hotel was a couple minutes walk from the heart of it. Bed was huge and room was always cleaned to a high standard. Had breakfast cooked every morning loved the banana pancakes. Our host also arranged our day trips at the cheapest price around, he made it very easy. Would definitely be staying here again

We were there during the off season and of the 4 rooms available we were the only guests there. July (pronounced Julie) was about the only person we had any contact with and he was very helpful. He was punctual in getting our breakfast every and taking us into Ubud when we needed to go. Ubud is about a 10 minute drive from the villa. The only time that the room was cleaned was when we requested it. We had to ask for fresh towels almost every day. The room was spacious, had a patio with a nice view and A/C. The bathroom served as both the shower and bathroom, no divider. There was limiteed space for hanging your clothes. We tried the TV a few times but the reception was poor. We weren't very interested in watching it anywhay. The wifi was sporatic and had been shut off on one occation because "It is hot and it needed to cool. Most of the time we went into the lobby to get connected and even then you had to be on the opposite side of the wall from the router, which was outside. The breakfast was the same everyday, no variety except a choice between western and Asian.

Bembengan Ubud Cottage is a small, nice hotel with a very friendly staff. The hotel is located at the end of a small gangway (gang II) giving it a somewhat secluded feel. A small problem is that the neighbors are extending their compound (probably to also add some guestrooms as well) which occasionally caused some noise in the morning. It looked however that the building work was making good progress so this inconvenience shouldn't last terribly long. Close by is an excellent jazz club but it is a bit of a walk (about half a kilometer) to the other attractions of Ubud.

Staff are very helpful, and the room is very well appointed. The room is impeccably clean, and the pool is gorgeous! The location is some distance from Ubud (about 30 min. drive), but very peaceful and scenic. The staff are flexible about providing transport to/from Ubud which was included in the price of the room. Lots of books, newly released DVDs, which entertain you. We are sure that you will like this place!

Best hotel I stayed in. Wanted to stay longer than my reservation but they were booked! Had I known this was such an outstanding hotel, I would have booked for 5 nights instead of 2. HIGHLY recommend this hotel.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at the Bhuwana. We had 2 buffet breakfasts and an ala carte menu for our 3 included breakfasts. All were great and we found pleanty options for a vegetarian in the morning. We enjoyed the pool and sitting outside on the loungers. We ate dinners there and didn't use the free transport service since we already had a driver. Dinner choices were a bit limited for a vegetarian, but a large selection otherwise. Staff was very nice and professional.

large room, clean and comfortable. centrally located in Ubud town area. nice swimming pool just next to restaurant. friendly staff with service. walking distance to shopping and restaurants of choice.

The hotel is in Ubud center, a walk from shopping street, and just blocks away from the Yoga Barn and Zen Spa. The service in the hotel was not the best we saw in Bali, but it was ok and staff was still friendly. The watermelon juice was the cheapest and sweetest of our entire journey.

I stayed three nights and loved it! If you're after the whole Kuta Bali experience then this is not the place for you. If you're after stunning views, nature (I saw monkeys, lizards, frogs, birds from my balcony) and a relaxing get away from it all then this hotel is great. A free shuttle into Ubud is easy to organise for spa treatments (Bali Botanical is great) and sightseeing in Ubud, whilst the hotel itself provided clean rooms and friendly accomodating service. The language capabilities of the stafff where adequate to the standards I've encountered on previous trips to Bali, no worse. An attempt to learn a few words in the native language goes a long way as it does anywhere in the world (ie; terima kasih - thankyou, tolong - please). As a solo woman traveller, I also felt very comfortable - don't be put off by expedia claims that "clothing is optional" as throughout my stay all guests and staff etc were suitably clothed as befits the traditional culture of the Balinese. All in all, a great place to stay if you want to think, relax, swim in a boutique hotel, away from the strobe lights and crowds in Kuta.
