Masakali Retreat

Masakali Retreat was a perfect stay in Ubud for the 5 nights we were here. Ira and Kantu in particular made us feel very welcome and always helped with arrangement and driving around. Thank you to Masakali team for making our trip to Ubud great!

The room was absolutely amazing, very comfortable bed and fabulous bathroom. The view of the rice fields and mountains was wonderful. The breakfast and dinner was beautiful and the location was just so lovely. Staff were amazingly wonderful and nothing was too much for them. They really made our stay and organised everything for us! Motorbikes, massages, food and anything else we needed, nothing was too much for them. Ira was so helpful and made our stay amazing. We 100% recommend this beautiful retreat.

Nothing!

Absolutely beautiful place. The owner and the staff are very caring. A little gem in the forest. We loved everything! Thank you Ira for your kindness.

NOTHING.

The accommodation had holes in the wooden walls, lacked air conditioning, and was plagued by pervasive mold. Additionally, the premises were notably unclean, with mold present throughout. Furthermore, the pool was in a state of considerable disrepair and was visibly dirty. If you are looking for a horrible place to stay then go there, there is nothing good in the accomodation apart from the staff that are lovely (the owner was not helpful at all when I contacted her). There is a 200 meter walk to get to the accomodation that was not disclosed during the booking process, compounding the overall unpleasant experience upon arrival. The location on description is Ubud but there is a 40min drive to get there. After seeing the state of the property we did not stay and yet could not get a refund, not even a partial one. VERY SAD.

We really liked this accommodation. The staff was extremely nice and always happy to help and advise us with everything. We especially have to thank our driver Kantu who spent 2 days with us and it was amazing, we learned a lot of information about Bali and he was a great guide. And the lovely Ira who arranged everything for us. The environment was absolutely great, quiet and beautiful place. We had a great time.

Beautiful little piece of jungle for getting away and relax, from the hustle and bustle inside Ubud. Our taxi left us in the midle of a small gravel road, from where we followed a small path along a river, to enter the Retreat. Walking though a path with several meters tall lush plants to our villa made us really feel submerged in the lush plant and jungle life of the Ubud area. We enjoyed cooking and having our lunches and dinners in our private kitchen and pool area. Smooth checkin, great service and amazing staff. Especially a enormous appreciation to the manager Ira, who helped us on several provat occasions, with dissease and accidents. We also rented a motorbike for our whole stay, which was managed and booked through our hotel manager.

Unfortunately, we arrived in the middle of some construction days, where there had to finish up a yoga center in the back. Management tried to accommodate the best they could, but the noise was still there. Appearently we got a discounted price when booking on the booking.com app, but we still think it was fair of then to mention that we were to expect noise. It was a honeymoon trip. So thats the least they could inform us about. Other than that we enjoyed the area. We had a couple lesser experiences with western food from their hotel kitchen, so we ended up only ordering local cuisine, which they cooked to perfection. seemed like their head chef was on a sick leave, and therefor there was a dive in the cooking level at our time of stay.

Quiet and relaxing environment in a tradional Balinese villa, a great place to disconnect from the city chaos!

I stayed 4 nights here and had a truly magical experience. From arrival, the villas are a relatively short walk from the road but the stafff were there ready to take my bags for me. On arrival we were given a quick brief on how it all works and ordered room service. Mornings are spectacular from Chandra villa with sunrise and the mountains announcing themselves from the clouds. The local farmers ducks make their way across the rice fields and it’s truly everything you’d expect. The room is clean beds super comfortable. But don’t forget you’re literally in the middle of the jungle. Bugs, mosquitos, lizards and geckos and the occasional dog may be seen. The net around the bed helped a lot and surprising only the 1 mosquito bite between us. Most of all tho, the staff were incredible. Ira was hosting us and went above and beyond anything I asked from her. 10/10 from all aspects of this place.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They took care of every need of ours.
