A little bit of heaven
This place was perfect for me and what I wanted - luxury and privacy! Felt like a home away from home and I didn’t want to leave. Perfect for solo travellers like myself or for couples who do not want to be disturbed. The staff are amazing and provide an attentive and tailored service depending on your needs, no ask is too much and they’re not overly in your face. The food at both breakfast and dinner/lunch and room service is exemplary. Very clean and efficient. Only downfall is there is some quite obvious wear and tear around the villa but as I went off season this didn’t bother me and nothing a lick of paint can’t fix. Everything you need to be clean was clean! I would definitely stay here and recommend this place again. Having travelled far and wide, it’s not often I say that!

Top notch property with very attentive staff. The manager Mr. Putu runs a very tight ship. Attention to detail is noted in every aspect...from quick pool towel changes to beautiful food presentations. There’s just nothing ‘not to like’ about this property.

Nothing else can compare
Everything about The Samaya is incredible. Service is out of this world. We had a villa with pool, completely secluded but with views over the rice fields. Even for a night it will make your trip to Ubud unforgettable.

Great hotel!
Amazing villa. Beautiful pool. Staff are genuinely helpful and kind. Shuttle service to and from Ubud town. Great spa massage. The GM, Wayan and the Food and Beverage manager are friendly and spend time talking to guests to ensure guests are enjoying themselves and are well looked after during their stay. Any issues are addressed timely and efficiently. Lovely stay!

a dream to stay here, highly recommend for couples
My husband and I had such a heavenly time at this resort. The staff was so friendly and helpful, they always knew our names and were extremely helpful and polite. They were very attentive and knew anytime we left our room so they could do turn down service early and quickly. The grounds are tropical and lush. The villas are very private, lots of space, and quite frankly, nicer than the over-water bungalows that we stayed in for our honeymoon. This is one of the nicest villas we've been lucky to stay in. For what you pay, you get so much! The villa is gorgeous and so spacious. Your own personal plunge pool with a patio, a covered pagoda to relax in the shade overlooks a pond with coi. The room itself is also very spacious with an equally impressive bathroom. Fresh fruit is in your room every day and you can let them know what you like/don't like. Free breakfast is included and you can opt to have breakfast served in your villa. Free shuttle service to town anytime. They offer free activities like yoga, hiking, etc. We did the yoga; very relaxing way to start the day. We often didn't see guests and felt so relaxed the entire time. The restaurant at the resort is one of the most famous in Ubud, which was a great surprise as a guest. It's along the river and is quite the backdrop. The grounds are vast and you can walk around easily or they have golf carts to take you wherever you want to go. I was very sad to leave. I highly recommend this resort and will come back again!

Feels like coming home
Amazing experience (again)! We visited Samaya Ubud for the third consecutive time and words fail to describe how wonderful we have been received, and how amazing our time has been there. The staff was very friendly and helpful with dinner reservations and shuttle, and they absolutely spoiled our 2 year old son who was ecstatic about the buggy. We loved our privacy in the villa, with our pristine pool and sun beds, and a huge fish pond.   Towels were changed 2 times a day (wow!), and we received fruits and cakes every day. To us, Samaya has become a second home and it was this feeling that made us return so many times. After Samaya, we spent a couple of nights at another private villa (same star category!) meeting some friend who stayed there, and we unfortunately came to regret that decision. Many thanks to Wayan, Gede, Mahendra, 'uncle' Eddie and the entire Samaya staff for their professionalism, hospitality and friendliness. We can't wait to see you again next year!

Stayed 3 nights in Hillside Villa
It was a ok experience for us, the Hotel itself and their staff are excellent, my major disappointment was that from day one we had Gecko's in the Villa, there were about 3 or four in room and in Bathroom, also lots outside the wooden planks near door and windows. We have a thing with Gecko's and really scared of them and this didn't help. Did not mind if they remain outside the Villa but there was a hole somewhere in Villa that they kept coming in. Excellent breakfast. Service by staff was great as they responded to get the Gecko's out as soon as we called them without success most of the time, that fearful experience was very uncomfortable. It rained the three days so did not get to use the Villa pool....This is not a place to travel with kids as not much to do. On my final day, I had booked a 90 minute Balinese massage and told that will get 90 min massage for same price as 60min and to my disappointment the massage just ended before 60minutes, felt cheated but did not have time to complaint.
