Had a 3 nights stay over at The SAMARA. It was defintely a throughly enjoyable experience. The hotel grounds though small in size is located within the lush greenery of paddy fields which provides a cosy and intimate feel. Great customer service provided by the staff as well as both the owners, Stefano and Yudi. Had an excellent seafood dinner which was recommended by yudi. All in all, it was a great stay in this lovely hotel and i will defintely do it again if going to Ubud in the future.

Located right next to paddy fields, it's tranquil with fresh air and cool breeze. There's a trail along the paddy fields where we could see plenty of chickens, ducks, birds, and butterflies. The clear night sky presented us with a stargazing experience.

We stayed at many hotels in Bali during a 2+ week stay and the Samara was easily the best place we stayed. The service was exceptional, the hotel was very clean and nice - we really enjoyed it. Do note that you can not drive a car to this hotel although they will come get you on a scooter and bring your stuff to the place. It's about a 15 minute walk to town, but rent a scooter not only because they are fun but only $5us a day to rent. It was our honeymoon and they really made us feel great. Would absolutely recommend this hotel!

The samara is wonderful, very relaxing and quiet. The hotel is not located on a Main Street in Ubud, but they offer pick-up/drop-off service whenever you venture out.

A great hotel/collection of guest houses in a very nice location. Friendly staff and good facilities. We were unable to use the pool for our stay with no discount offered though, but there is lots to do in Ubud anyway - so still highly recommended.

Loved this hotel. It's only 6 rooms, so it feels like a very private experience. Other reviews mention or complain about the walk to the hotel, but that never bothered us. If needed, the hotel gives you a local cell phone and you can call and have them pick you up and take you back into town on scooters. VERY peaceful location, although the practice of building in the rice fields needs to be slowed down, if not stopped altogether. My most minor observation was that the room was a bit on the smaller side.

My husband and I loved The Samara so much, we ended up staying an extra night! The location is absolutely stunning, so much so that we enjoyed spending our mornings poolside taking it all in rather seeing the sights of Ubud. We also made a point of coming back each for the complimentary tea where we enjoyed watching the afternoon parade of ducks coming in from the rice paddies. Staff were always helpful and friendly. I'd go as far as to say that they were the most professional and competent we encountered in Bali. It should be noted that unless you pre-arrange for hotel staff to pick you up, you will be forced to walk to last few hundred meters or so to the hotel, as cars are unable to pass after a certain point. We didn't mind this at all and enjoyed the 15 minute walk through past the terraces and down the winding alley to central Ubud.

We loved our time at the Samara. The hotel is located amongst the ricefields surrounding Ubud, and was a beautiful retreat from Ubud city centre only a short 15 mins walk away. Once you turn into Jalan Kajeng you gradually leave the hustle and bustle behind. We found the walk into the Samara wonderful, at night the fireflies were beautiful and during the day meeting the friendly local villagers gave you an insight into their daily life. We could not fault our room or the facilities and food offered by the hotel. A special thank you to the hotel staff who helped with any request we had. I enjoyed my first motorbike experience also. Thank you Stefano and Yudi and your fantastic staff for making our stay a wonderful experience.
