Beautiful setting , fantastic pool , very secluded but service at the hotel was non existent , very , very limited menu at the restaurant ( rat bait in the corner) Poor transport from the hotel , only one way . Some of the staff were most unhelpful and didn't seem to care . We left after two days and went elsewhere for our last three days .

Quiet hotel at the edge of the jungle
Although we wouldn't rate this as a 4 star hotel, our stay here was just perfect for our requirements of as a 2 day stopover on return to UK from NZ. Our villa did look a bit tired with some paint flaking off the walls. All the villas have good privacy due to being built on a steep hillside and the grounds are really nice to walk around....there are also a couple of good viewing points of the river below. We didn't leave the hotel on this visit due to the weather (it was monsoon season) and found the restaurant more than adequate.
We loved how quiet and peaceful it was. The staff was extremely friendly and always helpful.
We suggest offering a shuttle service to the nearby villages since it is remote from them. Also, there is smoke from burning trash that isn’t pleasant to breathe and finally the wifi signal was very weak. We still really enjoyed our time here!
Great hotel, overlooking the river. The villas are lovely and spacious and kept nice and clean. The plunge pool is a really good size with a day bed next to it. The main pool is gorgeous, loved it, had it too ourselves most days.
Drawbacks - there is not much close by, they do drop off in Ubud once a day but you have to make your own way back or book the driver.
kIe pride itan my job and my position here at Valley View and endeavour to complete all my work to the best of my ability.

Nice traditional villas, staff are very helpful n kind.
What an amazing hotel!! What amazing staff !! They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Even cooked a Christmas Dinner for us and served it privately by the pool! We had a two bedroom villa it was clean ,very spacious , comfortable beds with a private pool ! We had a large dining room table , where they served meals at no extra cost. And they provided us a private driver Buddy who was amazing . We would highly recommend this hotel
Wonderful quiet place away from the madness looking out over the hills.
It looks exactly like the photos.
As with mostly everywhere in Bali, the staff are amazing.
The hotel driver Wayan speaks great English & is more than happy to explain the Balinese culture & practices.
We stayed here for our first of the three weeks - we are now spoilt for anywhere else.
Will definitely stay here again if we come back to Bali, but will make it our last stop :)
Service at Bali Masari was outstanding! We had booked a cycle for the morning which somebody else had taken & staff went out of their way to find us a driver and waited for our return even when delayed. Very polite and helpful staff. The serenity and seclusion of the villas is an absolute highlight. They are so spacious & private plunge pool is a very nice touch. Only limitations are distance from places and lack of range of choices from breakfast & dinner menus. Overall a tranquil and relaxing getaway with amazing staff!
No hot water, we fount ant in the bed, the private pool is small and dirty
Not too much choices regarding the food menu very limited!
The hotel is very far from the city
We loved this place that we extended our visit for another couple of days. Every staff member are friendly and helpful, and made our stay very pleasant. They met all our needs and more! Thank you very much Bali Masari Villas for your kindness and hospitality. We will always remember it.
This hotel is exactly what i was looking for.
Great room, Fantastic views, out of the main tourist areas with peace & quiet in abundance.
This hotel is perfect if you are wanting to get away from everything and stay in comfort whete nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff.
Was lovely. Although it rained a lot the pool could still be used. The staff were very curtious and friendly. The food in the restaurant was also very good.
Great service - Everyone greets you with a smile on their face and in general the staff is very friendly and helpful. Had a two bedroom villa, wich was very spacious and great for our family of four. Hotel is a little remote - so a car is needed to move around (we rented a car with a driver - which turned out as a good decision as traffic and roads are impossible). Breakfast options limited but good. Overall, a good hotel choice.

Isolated and Past Irs Prime
I knew from other reviews it was isolted but even a walk into Sokawati is not exciting and no decent eating optinns. Food in resort is OK if a bit overpriced Drinks are overpriced for Bali. During our stay the only other guets were groups of Chinese on tour. They only ate in the hotel for breakfast so dinner times were desperately quiet. Rooms OK but the whole place has seen better days and desperately needs an upgrade. If you want somewhere really quiet and are prepared to hire drivers and tour each day it might be your thing
We had a wonderful time at the Bali Masari - We went there for peace, quiet and relaxation and it is perfect for that. It is very easy to hire a car with a driver for the day for trips out to the local Art Market or to visit temples, silver/goldsmiths or the beach. It is also only a short drive to more touristy areas.
The staff are friendly and very helpful. The setting is beautiful - some amazing views from our balcony and the pool area. It seems most visitors go out sightseeing during the day so we often had the pool area to ourselves. The onsite spa offers massages etc and the treatment room is open to a beautiful view of the valley.
Would definitely recommend for couples or people wanting a quiet, relaxing break.

Too remote
Though good property this hotel is just too remote. Unless your idea of vacation is to be holed up in one place , I would not recommend it for tourists who are interested to go out for sight-seeing and other activities.
The restaurant had limited menu so if you had to stay indoor for more than 2 days and if you are a vegetarian , you could starve. Not suitable for family's with small kids as they would get bored.
Facilities: Nice ; Value: Great deal; Service: Flawless; Cleanliness: Pleasant;
Your day is accompanied by sanskrit prayer broadcast from the nearby temple.
Facilities: good for just relax; Value: Bargain; Service: Remarkable; Cleanliness: Faultless;
This is a great place for staying away from the busy life. it is a bit away from tourist area but peaceful location ,all the saffs has nice smile.
