“Forest villas with heartfelt service”
Samsara Ubud is a forest-edge retreat of villas — some with private pools and one with a heated pool — where guests say they felt special from arrival to checkout. Staff are professional, friendly and excellent at their jobs, and regular pest control means even forest-nestled rooms stay lizard-free. Breakfast and food in general get good marks, though one guest wished for an open buffet. Location is the trade-off: the hotel sits far from downtown Ubud, and more daily shuttles are suggested; facilities are a little old, but the environment is lovely for a few refreshing nights.
