Masakali Retreat

Good design and privacy

Very welcoming and attentive staff and very private villa with a gorgeous view of the rice fields. Good offer of day tours with a perfect driver and in-villa massage.

The complimentary breakfast could be better. We had mouldy pillows, once we informed staff they right away changed it to the best pillows possible.

It had the perfect view, especially if you want to be away from the bustling city. The staff were so lovely and accommodating, one of our favourite parts (apart from the owner’s cat which was a bonus). Ira responds really quickly to our requests and all the staff were helpful as well as considerate.

Not really the accommodation’s fault but it can be hard to find with online taxis so lots of stress initially. However, just pin it on the map and give directions then you’ll be fine. We wanted this hotel because it’s near nature but the bugs can be quite a nuisance so we didn’t get to enjoy the facilities as much since we stayed in our bedrooms. But they were nice enough to provide mosquito repellents. Maybe there could be other ways to repel the insects (e.g., mosquito coils or outdoor bug control bomb).

Stunning views, gorgeous villas.

Nothing.

The most amazing stay everyone was so kind and welcoming and made our trip so special

We stayed for 4 days. The room and space was much bigger than we expected, pool was clean and staffs are very friendly and supportive to our asks -- we need some medicine for stomach and Ira has been very helping. It is very enjoyable stay in nature with beautiful scenery

there's a distance to city centre so might not be ideal for whom would like to stay later in Ubud, but overall it is not hard to GRAB car back and the accommodation also help arrange transportation so not really a downside.

Ira and the staffs are very friendly and supportive to all our need. Although it's 30 min car ride from Ubud centre, there's good support on the transportation and thanks to the distance the accommodation is quiet and relax. Would recommend for people who'd like to have a good rest in the nature.

If breakfast fruits can have more variety then it'd be great. But understand that might also due to the time we're having breakfast -- a bit early in the morning and some just come later to the retreat

The villas are next to the rice fields and they provide amazing views. The guests can hear the sounds of nature, relax and enjoy every moment of their stay in Ubud, away from the busy city centre. It is straightforward to locate the villas' parking area by car or motorcycle and then walk a short distance to the villas (2 minutes walk). The path is always lit during the night. The villas are built from wood and they offer plenty of space. They have a private pool that recycles the water 24h and is lit during the night. They offer fully equipped private kitchen and bathroom areas. They offer ceiling fans for ventilation. The most important asset of the villas is the staff. All members of staff are very approachable, kind, and friendly. They do their best every day and night to ensure that guests are happy. Ira, the property manager, facilitated a smooth overall stay by sorting out our meals, making a birthday cake available for my partner, organising a romantic dinner for us and helping with anything else needed. Nyoman and Ayu cooked great meals for breakfast and dinner. Dewa, the night-time security guard, was available when we needed his help. Tunik, maintenance and gardener, takes care the villas' landscape and they look so beautiful. We have a special mention to Kantu, the villa's tour operator, who exceeded all our expectations. He made every plan we had possible. We explored many different places in Bali together, from temples to waterfalls, and local communities and we learnt a lot about the Balinese culture. He is a great man, always willing to go the extra mile to make guests' stay unforgettable. We highly appreciate all the effort and time he spent driving us around Bali and we wish him all the best. Apologies if I forget somebody, they all did a great job and we are grateful. We would highly recommend the villas to people who wish to stay closer to nature and appreciate Bali's natural beauty and unique culture.
