Guest Reviews
- Kerstin (10/5): An oasis filling my senses with joy - The gardens and the lovely atmosphere. The spa could be better.
- Nerijus (7/5): -
- Alexandra (9/5): - O hotel é um autêntico paraíso. Um cenário tirado de um conto de fadas.
E os funcionários são de uma simpatia extrema...
Adorámos esta estadia...
- Kimberly (6/5): - My stay at sankara resort was wonderful!!- ALL the staff was very friendly and accommodating.The breakfast was delicious.Customer service was awesome!- the spa was also amazing.I will definitely stay here again. Mosquitoes
- Sharma (10/5): -
- viivi (9/5): Ihana ja rauhallinen hotelli - Todella rauhallinen ja viihtyisä hotelli. Olimme huoneessa missä oli oma uima-allas ja se kyllä kannatti ottaa. Huone oli muutenkin iso ja siisti. Hyvä sänky ja tyynyt. Huoneessa oli aamutakit ja tossut sekä kylpy tuotteita. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja ammattitaitoista Aamiainen tilattiin listalta ja ne olivat riittävät ja hyvät. Extramaksusta sai myös tilata lisää kahvia ja mehuja. Kävimme myös joogassa ja se oli hyvä. Onneksi hotellilta lähti kuljetukset Ubudiin useita kertoja päivässä, koska kävelymatka oli pitkä. Hotelli oli kaukana keskustasta.
- Regina (10/5): The resort provided the peaceful relaxation we were seeking. - We loved the peaceful atmosphere, food, accommodations, natural beauty, and the hospitable staff. N/A
- SIMONE (10/5): Beautiful and relaxing stay. Food was great and staff were so friendly - Lush gardens and wonderful staff Ants
- Ann-Marie (10/5): -
- Arthur (10/5): - All very good!
- U9278MDjulial (10/5): Our stay at The Sankara Resort and Spa - We had such an amazing stay at The Sankara Resort and Spa in Ubud, Bali. We spent a little over two weeks there and didn’t want to leave at all.
Location:
The resort is located in the village of Mas (part of Ubud), surrounded by lush greenery and even has its own small rice field, which makes it feel like a peaceful escape away from the busy tourist spots. At the same time, it’s still just a short and easy ride into central Ubud. The hotel offers a free shuttle service several times a day to and from the center, which is super convenient. There you’ll find supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, small shops, the Monkey Forest, and so much more. We were especially lucky to meet our great driver Gede, who made those rides even more enjoyable. The hotel also offers tours and activities that can be booked, as well as daily complimentary options like a yoga class and a morning walk through the village of Mas, which we really enjoyed.
Atmosphere:
The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and serene, with a perfect mix of luxury and authentic Balinese charm. Everything feels thoughtfully designed, and you feel calm the moment you arrive. Plus, there are beautiful flowers everywhere, which makes the whole place feel even more special.
Rooms:
We stayed in a Deluxe Room with a private pool, and it was absolutely worth it. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the details. The beds are super cozy, and the design perfectly blends modern comfort with traditional elements. In addition to a bathtub and indoor shower, there was also an outdoor shower, which we really loved. The rooms aren’t brand new anymore, but they are still in very good condition and absolutely clean. Also good to know: the hotel has European-style power sockets.
Value:
The resort offers great value for money, especially considering the high level of service, the stunning surroundings, and the overall experience.
Cleanliness:
Cleanliness was excellent throughout the entire resort. The rooms and common areas were always spotless.
Noise Level:
The resort is very quiet and perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Most of the time, you only hear natural sounds like birds and the surrounding nature. Occasionally, you could hear some noise from the nearby padel court and a beach club, but it was never disturbing for us.
Service:
The service was truly outstanding. The staff were always friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. You really feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout your entire stay. We’d especially like to thank the reception team, our driver Gede, the housekeeping staff, the entire restaurant team, and the excellent chefs.
Amenities:
The resort offers great amenities, including a beautiful pool, spa services (special thanks to Dewah, Rosi, and Juli), and a restaurant with delicious food, an incredible team, and talented chefs. Everything you need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay is right there. Depending on the category you book, some rooms also come with a private pool.
Overall:
We had an incredible experience at The Sankara Resort and Spa and truly hope to visit again soon!
- Zaid (10/5): -
- Nayda Monica (10/5): - The food is delicious, the staff is amazing, very kind. The hospitality is incredible :)
- Nayda Monica (10/5): - Love it! We didn’t want our vacations to end jajaja great place!
- Virginia (10/5): -
- W9968JAlaurena (10/5): Beautiful Authentic Balinese Resort. - Beautiful authentic Balinese resort. Lovely staff. The spa was excellent and food was great.
Would stay here again. 🙏
- Thandeka (10/5): Amazing helpful staff and the place was a dream - Looks amazing and the staff is excellent Loved everything
- Y2425FKirenam (6/5): Disappointed - We spent one week here, at the beginning everything was fine. But: that’s the most expensive restaurant in Bali, we were visiting many more fine dining but they were nothing like this one. Also the hotel next to us has tennis court and they were playing all day which was disturbing us and we couldn’t rest during the day.. finally at our last day we asked to stay a couple hours because our flight was late and wanted to checked out at 5pm, they wanted us to pay 1.750 000 which is ridiculous, because that’s more expensive than one whole night. They were calling us early in the morning like 8am to ask if we will need housekeeping today and then the last day they called 3 times very early to tell us we need to pay almost 2 million for the extra 5 hours we wanted to stay :)) very disappointed for 4-star complex, definitely coming again to Bali but not this hotel.

- Darsh (8/5): -
- 804karlynl (2/5): Horrible - We recently stayed at Sankara Resort Ubud, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had.
From the moment we arrived, the issues began. The room was poorly maintained, with visible cracks and signs of neglect. There were ants everywhere, and to make matters worse, we found a huge rat inside the room. The bug problem alone made it impossible to feel comfortable or relaxed.
There is also ongoing construction on the property, which was disruptive and not clearly communicated beforehand. It completely ruined the peaceful atmosphere we expected in Ubud.
The service was far from top-tier. The staff was rude and unhelpful throughout our stay. One of our guests even fell on the property, and the staff did absolutely nothing to assist or follow up. That lack of concern for guest safety was extremely disappointing.
To make matters worse, they try to charge you for every single thing. It feels like they nickel-and-dime guests at every opportunity, which only added to the frustration.
Overall, this was a horrible experience from start to finish. Between the cleanliness issues, poor maintenance, construction noise, poor service, excessive extra charges, and safety concerns, I would absolutely not recommend staying here.
- Pioneer25659512722 (6/5): Polite staff & good service, but ants, open toilet, and deep pool lowered comfort. - Review (3/5):
The staff was polite and well-mannered, and the services provided were good. Food was decent during the stay.
However, there were some issues that affected the overall experience. The toilet was open, and it would have been better if there was at least a curtain for privacy. Food safety was also a concern, as ants were frequently attracted to the food inside the villa. Additionally, the private pool was quite deep at around 5.5 feet, which may not be suitable for everyone.
Overall, while the hospitality was pleasant, improvements in facilities and food safety are needed.
- M9229UGscottb (10/5): Great time at Sankara - Excellent stay at Sankara. Stayed in a one bedroom villa with private pool and it was amazing. Loved being able to jump into the water whenever we wanted. Terrific staff as well. The included breakfast was great. Special thanks to Merri at the restaurant for making us feel so welcome.
- Y3090MLlailas (10/5): BEAUTIFUL PLACE, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE - What a lovely stay! The staff were so welcoming and friendly, I checked in around 2am and they made me feel so comfortable. The best nights sleep and breakfast was included in my deal. What a bargain! I had a Balinese massage by Dewa, he was amazing- I would highly recommend ALL THE ABOVE 10/10.
- Maree (7/5): - Definitely the private plunge pool
- JoanneMH10 (10/5): Fantastic resort, kindest staff, beautiful setting would 100% recommend and will definitely be back to stay again - My husband, our 20 year old daughter and myself stayed here for 4 days as part of our trip to Bali, we stayed in the two bed deluxe villa with private swimming pool and had a fantastic time. We wish we had stayed here longer. The hotel, grounds services and location are fantastic. The staff are so kind and helpful. The restaurant is great the food was amazing, the complementary breakfast and afternoon tea was delish and always a lot of choice and always so fresh. My daughter and I did Yoga which was also complementary and we all had foot massages which were great. One thing for us that really stood out for this hotel was how kind and helpful the staff were, every single member of staff we interacted with were all so nice, polite and helpful.
Our villa was stunning, always an abundance of fresh fruit and water and towels were plentiful and always fresh. Would definitely give this a 5/5 every time. We will most definitely be back.
- Richard (10/5): Superieur - De vriendelijkheid van al het personeel. Niets was teveel en alles werd gedaan vanuit oprechte zorgzaamheid. Veel keuzemogelijkheden qua faciliteiten. En natuurlijk de rust in het complex. Niets
- Dániel (10/5): -
- Claire (10/5): Beautiful place to stay - Everything staff, vibes , pool wish I stayed longer. Especially meri in the kitchen and the driver of the shuttle. And all the reception staff look after you very well. Nothing
- Susanne (9/5): -
- Takako (8/5): 満足 - 食事が美味しかった 夜に水が止まった事があった
- kim (9/5): Great stay, would stay again - Really lovely and willing staff. Lovely environment and room. Breakfast menu - had hoped for full Balinese buffet
- Holly (9/5): -
- helenrI9238OK (10/5): Balinese sanctuary - Fabulous hotel! Great service from delightful staff. Food was excellent. The whole environment is very tropical, so peaceful. Can definitely recommend if you wish to experience a true Balinese culture.
- Campbell (7/5): The perfect place to relax and unwind - Beautiful property - very luscious and the grounds were well kept. The main pool looked great to lounge around and swim in, but due to construction we were sadly unable to. The massage spa was exceptional and very good value for money. The room was clean and very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Only downside for our stay was that the property was under construction and so we couldn’t use the main pool and it was quite noisy during the day. However, this is not a permanent problem. The breakfast was a bit average in our opinion too.
- Vera (9/5): - Очень понравился улыбчивый, заботливый персонал, великолепная зеленая ухоженная территория, чистый красивый бассейн. Создавалось ощущение, что я в лесу. В номере было чисто и уютно. Еда в ресторане вкусная, удобно заказывать еду в номер и наслаждаться приемом пищи сидя на веранде. Очень хороший массаж.
Я провела незабываемые часы восстановления, лежа возле бассейна и наслаждаясь атмосферой спокойствия и заботы. Не хотелось даже никуда выходить :) Иногда было шумно от соседнего центра отдыха (звук бассейна, мяча, музыки и отдыхающих), но он прекращался к ночи.
И было бы неплохо постирать занавески возле дверей виллы, которые все логично отодвигают руками при входе, из-за чего они быстро пачкаются.
- Dominik (10/5): All in all I recommend - Location, staff Pillows. Air conditioning facing the bad is not ideal as it was blowing on us all night. We had to switch it off but then it was unbearably hot
- Linda (10/5): - Location and the staff Pillows
- nurulamelinan (10/5): Great way to end 2025 - Great experience. Good hospitality. The staff always willingly to help in any way. Best spa experience. Room is clean although it looks a little bit rundown.
- 659architc (10/5): Best experience - Mei , bartender solastra and receptionist Anga were very helpful with early breakfast and service. Highly recommended place. Best views
Thanks
- Darshan (10/5): Excellent hospitality, location and overall best place to stay in Ubud. - Very friendly boutique hotel and exactly what we had hoped for. Maybe the pool area needed some looking after. There were ants and small insects on the beds and around the pool all the time.
- 246wassema (2/5): Worst Hotel Experience Ever – Ruined Our Anniversary - We booked 4 nights here for our wedding anniversary, excited to celebrate a special occasion. The moment we arrived, our excitement turned into regret. The entire property is under construction, with constant noise making it impossible to relax.
The so-called “restaurant” was nothing more than a few tables shoved into a corner that looked like a street food stall, with no staff in sight. When we asked for a resolution, the only option offered was room service, essentially trapping us in our room while enduring the construction chaos outside.
We requested to cancel and move elsewhere, but were told there is no cancellation and no refund—even though they failed to disclose any of this beforehand, despite us being in constant communication with them via WhatsApp. This is outright dishonest and misleading.
Every time we asked for help, the answer was the same: “The manager is not around.” Either the manager works five minutes a day or this is just an excuse to avoid accountability.
This hotel not only ruined our anniversary but also showed a complete lack of professionalism, transparency, and basic hospitality. Avoid this place at all costs. There are far better options nearby that actually care about their guests.

- 739dimitrid (10/5): Great nature escape - Staff is very friendly and amenities are excellent. The place is very beautiful and embedden in nature. Landscaping is absolutely stunning.

- Ryan (8/5): Comodissimi per la mia famiglia - Un albergo con servizi bravissimi, tutti i staff stavano molto attenti a tutti i nostri bisogni. La posizione e' molto buono. Un problema era che c'era lavoro durante il viaggio vicina la piscina, e' non potevamo usarela. Ma i personali ci hanno dato tanti servizi bravi.
- anjalia857 (10/5): Worth it - Nice staff, prompt service and clean rooms, happy faces everywhere.
Worth the price.
Restaurant and pool bar are worth it

- N4324KFalisonw (10/5): Beautiful Bali - A beautiful hotel, with fabulous staff on the outskirts of Ubud. The location was really peaceful but with a free shuttle into the town centre. A great spot to see some fabulous areas of Bali, our only complaint was that we couldn't stay longer.

- 609isaacv (10/5): Fantastic experience - My girlfriend and me were in our honey moon for six nights. It is an amazing place. Beautiful resort, green and you feel like in the jungle.
Is located in good place, near to main city (Ubud). But you need to take a grab, taxi o rent a bike. Anyway you have a lot of offers of restaurants and pubs nearby, just walking a few metres.
Very clean rooms and comfortable beds.
The staff is very kind and helpful, every trouble you have they solve fast and effective.
The already have many activities during the day and amenities in the night. Also an spa to a relaxing massage (fantastic massages but a bit expensives).
- jbrb6067 (2/5): Please count your money in the Safe daily! - It was a lovely villa although a little tired.
However our stay was completely ruined as we had money taken out of the safe.
We arrived on the Friday night and discovered this early Tuesday morning. So this would have happened Saturday,Sunday or Monday.
We counted our Indonesian money Tuesday morning and realised a lot was missing we had only done a couple trips that were prepaid and hadn’t spent much. What made us 100% sure was we had two sealed envelopes with Singapore Dollars and English money, when we checked they were ripped open. Money had been stolen from both envelopes.
We reported this to the police and they came and investigated but unfortunately no proof.
The hotel Manager said no way her staff could do this and staff bags were checked that morning which was ridiculous as it would have happened before not the morning we were in our room!
We had trouble with the safe on our first night and the security guard had to come and reset it, we had no problems after that locking it, in fact made us double check.
The hotel manager made us feel we were lying and we know she will give a negative response as we have seen this on other people who have had money taken and left a review
- Lydia (10/5): Amazing hotel to stay for your honeymoon - Design was lovely and the facilities were great
- Grant (7/5): - The Sankara Resort is a good property overall, but it could use some care and attention. My room was comfortable enough, though there was a persistent damp smell, and the towels were quite worn and in need of replacement. In general, the facilities look like they would benefit from some updates and better upkeep.
I also noticed that nearly every staff member was wearing a ‘trainee’ badge, which left me wondering where the more experienced team had gone. While the staff were polite and tried their best, the overall service lacked the polish you’d expect from a resort of this level.
As other guests have mentioned, there is ongoing construction right next door, and it looks like it will continue for at least another six months — something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quiet stay.
That said, the resort itself has potential, and with some investment in maintenance and staff development, it could be a really special place again.
- Paul (9/5): Great hotel in good location - The hotel is very beautiful and we had a very relaxing couple the days here.
We had a 2 bedroom suite with private pool, it was beautiful inside but unfortunately a huge building site next door was disappointing (I am sure for the hotel too).
The bedrooms etc though were amazing. We didn't have sunbed sin eth suite which surprised us but the hotel did bring some in for us.
The breakfast was good and the location good too. neighbouring building site is too big and highly damaging to the hotel setting although doesn't impact eth main pool area.
- 524mant (10/5): An unforgettable experience - This is a wondeful place with wonderfuk people. The food from the restaurant is very delicious. The details with honeymoon when we arroces were perfect
- nikkikZ8770NX (10/5): Great resort to relax - It is a really nice resort with very nice, friendly and welcoming people.
We had the Deluxe villa with private pool. It is a very big and spacious room. You can do anything you want here, from spa experience to floating breakfast in your own pool. I also did the yoga class, that was very nice to do! The teacher was very good and helpful!
- Morten (4/5): Find et andet sted - Personalet er meget tjenstvillige
Fin morgenmad
Ellers ikke noget særligt Støj fra nabohotellet/paddelbane
Meget støj fra byggeplads til den anden side - havde vi været klar over dette havde vi aldrig bestilt der
Der blev arbejdet fra kl. 08.00 til 17.00 fredag/lørdag/søndag - vinkelsliber, borehamre og hvad der ellers hører sig til ved et hotelbyggeri

So accomodating, polite and lovely to deal with. I wish I could have stayed longer! The rooms were very big and well set-up, everything was cleaned and replenished to a great standard every day. The breakfast and dinner service was great quality and nothing was ever too much trouble. The resort itself was peaceful and tranquil and the spa treatments were amazing. Thank you to the Sankara team for making our stay so wonderful.
