We had a wonderful stay at Sankara Resort. The room was big, clean, and very spacious, which made it super comfortable and relaxing. We absolutely loved our private pool. It was such a nice touch and made the experience feel extra special. The free breakfast every morning was delicious, with plenty of options and great quality. The best part of our stay was definitely the staff. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and kind, and they truly made us feel at home.
The only thing that could be improved is adding a door to the bathroom for a little more privacy. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend Sankara Resort if you’re looking for a relaxing stay with great service!

It was a great experience at Sankara Resort. Everything was so clean and staff were friendly and very helpful. Ambience was very beautiful and peaceful. Surroundings was very romantic and calm, I have no complain with this resort or the staff. I have tried food at their restaurant and the fruits were so sweet and coconut water was worth of having. one of the staff member helped us for capturing photos, and making our stay more memorable . I am already missing everything from this resort. Thank you sankara resort and the team for making our holiday so memorable.

The construction happening next door is very noisy and should be made clear to guests before they book. There was compensation of a free drink for the loud noise but that is not really adequate. We would have stayed somewhere else if we knew it would be that noisy. We did also complain about the price of the laundry and the shuttle bus leaving 25 minutes late from Ubud centre, and we did receive a free massage in compensation, but I don’t think I would stay here again.

Once we noticed they were happy to refund and the money was returned straight away, they were very apologetic. The grounds were so beautiful. We went in off season so it was very quiet. There is a fantastic restaurant just up the street called ‘sacred rice’ it was also amazing. Would recommend. Would return :)

The stay went acceptable. The staff are friendly and helpful, definitely showing hospitality. While the hotel appears to have a very nice view, surrounded by trees and nature, the room itself seems to need some repair. We were greeted by a clogging sink. The air inside the room also smells moldy, which made the stay in the room uncomfortable. There is visible mold on the curtain of the bathroom. We also found somebody else's sock in the gap between the two mattresses. The room can definitely use more light fixtures as well.

We just stayed for 8 nights at the Sankara for our honeymoon and absolutely loved everything about it. To start, we had a one bedroom pool villa (Bima) that was gorgeous. It had the perfect amount of privacy and comfort. The cleaning staff were great and made our room like new each and every day. The staff were excellent. Always greeting as we came in and out without missing a beat making sure we had everything we needed. 2 staff members we’d like to point out are Ronney and Roseana. Ronney is a driver and he was the best. He showed us around all the local food spots, the cultural places and also some fun places Bali has to offer. He was with us the whole time taking pictures and taught us a lot about the Bali culture. Thanks Ronney!!
Roseana was a masseuse and she gave me the best massage I’ve ever had. I recommend the spa. It was worth every dollar.
Bar drinks were great, the food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner. We give the Sankara a 10/10. Thanks for having us and making our honeymoon as amazing as it was!

We booked a deluxe , king bed room and we’ve got an old room in the very back of the resort, very noisy because it was located right next to a pickle ball court. We asked to change the room but it was not possible for two sleepless nights. We set an appointment with the manager, but the person did not come for the appointment. Overall, very nice concept and design of the resort, but the service has to improve a lot . All staff very nice , pleasant and trying to help, but missing the guidance of management and resources!

I rarely leave reviews, but felt that with the two week experience that we had, we needed to share. The staff were highly hospitable, accommodating, attentive, courteous, friendly, and honest. The grounds and amenities were impeccable and the service was above anything we have ever experienced as an annual traveler. The hotel shuttle and transportation to and from the airport were timely. The tours that the hotel provided were reasonably priced and well put together. We look forward to coming back again one day.

The Sankara Resort & Spa was a nice quaint resort. While it was in the jungle, it was misleading on the Expedia website when it was said it was only 34 minutes away from the Bali International Airport. That is completely false. It was an hour and a half drive away from the hotel.

Next the room was satisfactory and as advertised; however, there was a stale/moldy smell inside the room. I'm not sure how old the establishment is or their general maintenance of the place, but that made it somewhat uneasy to breathe at times.

The staff were absolutely amazing and very accommodating. They did everything they possibly could to make sure you were happy and satisfied. The spa service was a little too costly, but my discount was applied to my bill since it was offered when I booked on Expedia.

Overall my stay was pleasant and amenable. I would stay there again, but it would be nice to see some upgrades in decor and in the upkeep of the place even though it was very clean from beginning to end. Slightly noisy though due to construction next door and also the other upstairs guests weren't being very neighborly.

The Sankara property is beautiful in terms of views, gardens, and pools. The staff was always very friendly.

There is room for improvement in terms of some of the facilities - all of the chairs in the restaurant were stained as well as some of the furniture in the rooms. The sink was clogged and the shower barely got hot with poor water pressure. There is also a lot of construction around the area, and there is a pool club right beside the resort. Therefore, it is quite noisy during the day.

Overall I would not choose to stay there again - your money would go farther elsewhere considering how expensive it is.

The place was very accommodating when we needed to abruptly change our schedule there. We had a villa with a pool that was very private and very refreshing after a day hiking around Bali.
They did not explain their shuttle service correctly. Be aware that it only goes on the schedule printed and if you want to get picked up in the center of Uber, you still have to notify them. It’s really not a regularly scheduled shuttle. Also there is loud construction next-door with drilling and hammering until 9 PM but hopefully this will be completed soon. It only affected the restaurant (very good food and good cultural dancing), the rooms themselves were quite quiet.

Construction noise is constant and I would not have booked had I known this. You can’t at pool and enjoy without hearing major construction happening on both sides. Resort itself is fine. Room was large, bed was fine. Staff was very kind and very attentive . Breakfast was very good. Lunch choices were just ok. You are about 15 min from city center on a Grab bike. My main problem is that if you are expecting a serene setting for your Bali trip this is not it for a while.

I stayed here with my sister and absolutely loved it. We had our own deluxe pool villa and the pool was beautifully maintained. The entire place felt like a peaceful escape, and the complimentary foot massage was honestly so good, I never wanted it to end. The food was healthy, fresh, and so flavorful, especially the floating breakfast, which felt straight out of a dream.
The views? Unreal. Jungle paradise vibes all around. There’s a bit of a walk from the villa to the lobby, but we treated it as our mini cardio session. Also, the fruit here was next-level fresh which made me realize how fake some food feels back in the U.S. 😂

Lots of mosquitos tho so pack repellent!

The staff (front reception, kitchen, housekeeping, garden maintenance, pool guy) so very warm and friendly! The place is tranquil and relaxing with everything you need there, a quaint little coffee shop and humble laundromat are just across the street.
The breakfast is 5 a la carte choices of American, continental, Indonesian, Indian and healthy hippy.
My husband and I will definitely be back!

Thank you so much Sankara staff for making our wedding anniversary so special

We stayed in the villa with private pool, which was maintained and cleaned to perfection everyday, the fruit basket was replenished daily too.

We were so impressed with this hotel. The staff went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. We were upgraded to a villa with a private pool because of our VIP status for 2 of the 3 nights we were there. We loved it so much! The accommodations were beautiful and so comfortable and relaxing. The complimentary a la Carte breakfast was fabulous. The entertainment was fantastic. The spa services were excellent! We were about 10 minutes away from town centre but the free shuttle made it easily accessible. The only issue we found was the area around the resort. There was a lot of construction and a very rowdy resort next door. There are so many places to choose in Bali and we are so happy we chose this one. Would recommend!

The Sankara Resort was everything we were hoping and more! The staff are amazing and make it feel as you are coming back to your very own home everyday. Everyone is so polite and goes out of their way to make sure your stay is perfect. The restaurant has excellent food and service as well. Four of us travelled together and ate many meals here and enjoyed them all. We stayed 13 nights in a one bedroom pool suite and it was perfect. It is an open air bathroom that a blind rolls down to close off at night so we would get geckos and frogs visiting at night but that is part of living in the jungle and only added to the experience. Coming back to your own private pool after walking around in the hot sun could not be beat. The room was always clean and restocked everyday unless you asked for them to not bother. The property itself is beautiful and well kept. They arranged trips and transportation for us and always had suggestions for different excursions. We had multiple massages and other services at the spa and all were incredible. It was a perfect central location for exploring different areas of the island, There are many other restaurants within walking distance of the property if you would like to change it up. There is construction going on next door but it was never later than 8 at night and did not bother us. After 9 pm all you could hear was frogs and the sounds of the jungle. We would highly recommend to anyone to stay here! We will definitely be back!

We had the private villa with the private pool . It was treed all around ,like an oasis. It was a place you could just stay in the room and be happy . (we had the darma villa) . The room came with breakfast. We booked transport online from the airport before we arrived ($27 for an hour and half drive) . We also booked a tour online (which we liked ,it had a guide) , but a taxi to the monkey forest is cheap ( i was told $8 return) it's a great place to stay

This Spa hotel is excellent.

Sadly next door hotel is being rebuilt so weekday 9-5 is very noisy at front of hotel.

The spa is excellent, the food is good and it is not the hotel’s fault about the neighbour hotel rebuild programme.

I am lucky as I’m now in a villa away from the builders and no longer hear them.

Be clear when you book if you plan to be in the hotel during weekday daytime you can deal with the noise.

The shuttle bus they have offered is limited to time constraints however very convenient to use rather than walking in the area. If they had more time slots/ flexible times for the shuttle, then it would have been more convenient. This place is a hidden gem as such places in Ubud.

We booked the ‘basic’ room which was great, plenty of room and very well equipped with everything you’d expect and more. The hotel is fairly small but has all the facilities you need, spa, pool, bar, restaurant etc. We had breakfast included which was very good, with plenty of choice from the menu.

I paid cash during my stay on the last day I asked them to just charge my last meals to the room when I tried checking out they refused to let me leave and said I owed lots of money. I didn’t know what to do so I just gave them my card and they charged it then said they didn’t get that payment either my bank said they did get it I almost missed my flight and had to have money sent from my family. If you stay here just keep receipts if paying cash. Also the resort is very far out and there’s construction next door.

We love this quiet resort in Ubud. Private pool, great food, and wonderful accommodating staff. Our 4th stay here and we’ll be back for more!

Staff was very attentive. Whatever you needed was just a phone call away

Good place to stay. Excellent staff. Only thing was there were no shops around the area and had to go to ubud center to get anything.

Decent stay with caveats

We stayed at Sankara for 4 days.

Pros:

Super comfortable deluxe room, great pool, good food, good massages, free shuttle to ubud center

Cons:

1. Breakfast was good but wasn't unlimited. I know it's not buffet but guests should be able to order a few extras. I was charged for extra eggs twice.

2. Food was expensive with 20% extra charges. Portion size was small for steaks and chicken

3. No taxis can enter the property if you want to go to places other than ubud center which means you are forced to either walk outside to look for a taxi (which is confusing) or ask Sankara reception who would charge you 4 times the actual price.
The staff wasn't helpful in this regards.

4.There was no prayer mat on the property which is shocking considering Indonesia is a muslim country- can't pray on a dirty yoga mat.

Summary:

Overall the stay was good but the resort was expensive and customer service was average.

Dated but beautiful

The property needs some maintenance but overall is beautiful. The pool villa is the way to go if you like having a private pool. However the villas does not have proper AC for the size. You will be slightly warm. The team there does care and try’s hard. The location is in a quiet area for the most part. There is some construction next door but it wasn’t too disruptive. The food was just ok. There are good food options nearby. Ubud central with traffic will take 25 minutes. Sankara provides a shuttle so that’s nice.

Lovely property but there’s a lot of construction going on in the property and directly next door. There are also a lot of mosquitos since it’s the beginning of the rainy season. The staff are friendly and helpful.
