Beautiful picturesque boutique resort, nestled in the jungle. This resort is quiet, and perfect for someone who is not looking for the hustle and bustle that other areas of Bali offer. The staff were incredibly helpful, polite and friendly.. couldn't have asked for better customer service! The single restaurant in the resort catered for most cuisines, and I didn't have a bad meal during my stay. A couple of nights throughout the week they put on traditional and light entertainment, with a few simple workshops for the more creative person during day. A shuttle service into the local town of Ubud runs twice a day and I'll also pick you up to take you back to the resort (although taxis are cheap and plentiful). Stayed in a two-bedroom Villa with private pool. Found the accommodation sizeable although a little poorly laid out. A little wear and tear, and starting to show it's age. A few issues with ants (visited in May), which seemed to cover most outdoor areas. All in a wonderful stay, and highly recommended.

Disappointing and not 5 star
Small property a long way away from central Ubud and also at the end of a difficult unfinished road to navigate through. Rooms are reasonable but very dark inside, needs some updating all round. Food in the restaurant is reasonable but not great with breakfast being very disappointing. Service also is very painful but I’ve noticed this a lot on this trip. Would I stay here again? No thanks…

I really really liked staying Samsara Ubud! It's a little far from downtown, So I have relaxed at the resort very quietly. Overall facilities and services were perfect! All staff was very kind and helpful! But I was told by one staff that he wanted to provide transport service individually, I was really weird. And he told me that don't tell this to the resort.

The secrete of Ubud!
The Staff was simply amazing! The villa we stayed in was excellent however, the lasting impression was with the staff and their eagerness to satisfy our needs in every way. The jungle views were breathtaking and the pools were superb! They offered a free shuttle to Ubud multiple times a day which gave us the option to choose our plans accordingly. Cant say enough about this place!

Excellent room and view from the room. The room included a heated pool. The location of the hotel was located in the middle of the mountain with great views of the forest. Temperatures were surprisingly cool especially at night, so it was perfect to have a heated pool in the villa. Unfortunately, the heating system was not working well in our pool and it was barely heated compared to others where you can see steam emerging from the pools in the mornings. The rooms were fairly clean but not excellent. Morning breakfasts were great and had great choices including a lobster and poached egg option which was excellent.

Unbelievable service. We commented on how much we loved their orange/clove/cinnamon herbal tea in passing, next thing you know it was delivered complimentary to our room and as a parting gift. It is such little details that sets this property apart. We were assigned a personal Butler to fulfill your every whim. The on site messages treatments were so good we ended up booking it every day of our stay. We stayed at the Mandapa Ritz-Carlton next. I must say Samsara was uniquely genuine in making its guests feel intimately cared for. We will return again.
