Stayed here for 3 nights.
It's really isolated and quite far from the town centre, but they do provide free transfers there.
You likely would need to get a private driver as you can't really get gojek, grab or klook pick ups from here, so if you arrange a driver from the airport, best to just hire them as a driver for activities nearby.
The hotel itself is awesome, fantastic staff and hospitality. Good service and wonderful breakfast selection.
The Villa's themselves are well maintained, but some of the places look a bit dated.
There's also a sauna and cold plunge pool for guests.

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.

Excellent!

What a truly amazing hotel! From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed, we were treated like royalty.

Check-in at the hotel was excellent. Efficient and loved the home made treats and tea served.

The location of the hotel was peaceful and breath taking. Away from all the hustle and bustle of Ubud. Just a short 20 minute journey with free shuttle provided at designated times.

The villa was spectacular. Decoration and choice of furniture, spot on. The pool was a decent size for the one bed. Handy that there was a heater installed which is rare with most villas I have stayed in.

The food in the restaurant was lovely. Beautifully presented and tasted so good. Everything was fresh.

I think the most amazing part of the stay were the staff. Wonderful, kind, friendly, welcoming ... I could go on.

A stay at this hotel is well worth it.

The pictures don’t do just how stunning the location is, you literally feel like you’ve entered another world. It’s tranquil...

The staff are fantastic and really set this place apart. They make guests feel special, with no request too big or small.

Nothing bad to say about the Samsara- food, rooms, staff are all truly devine.

Not actually Villas, but overall pretty good.

Overall a nice hotel in a quiet area with great service. However, the rooms are advertised as villas when in fact they should be called duplex or just room since they are not stand alone villas. The unit has a shared wall with the neighboring room and this limits privacy and quiet. You can hear your neighbor talking and coughing, etc. Also outdoor seating is limited to only two lounge chairs, nothing else which makes the only other seating option a sofa indoors. Other things were not properly planned out too- such as the outdoor shower head is only suitable for someone 5 feet tall. The bathroom sinks do not line up properly with the faucet and so water spills on the counter. These sort of things should be fixed in a 5 star high end premium priced accommodation. The breakfast was excellent and the staff is very good.

Nice hotel

Pros:

Provide very personalised services. Receive a very nice birthday cake on my birthday. Hotel condition is good, near to ubud town but can be quite a distant from other sight seeing area. Butler will provide us a small balinese gift daily with a short notes to intro on the items. We have received a flute, a stone with ur name written on it, a balinese fan and a room spray throughout our stay. Thats is a great gesture from the butler. They are also very generous with the serving of their breakfast. Breakfast was superb and tasty. The environment was in the mist of the jungle which allow you to enjoy the fresh air and greenery. We also enjoyed the swim in the night under the moonlight. Pool was kept warm in the middle of the night which was great for night swimmer. Room was kept clean and comfort for good resting.

Cons:
Was disappointed as has booked a 3 bedroom villa via expedia but later was informed that the 3 bedroom villa was not ready and was given 3 single room villa instead.

Bathroom water pressure was slow in room 10.

Distance too far away from sightseeing area. Need to travel a 4hr journey to Uluwatu and around 2 hr journey to Kuta etc.

This was my wife and I first visit to Bali. I must say our hotel accommodations was nothing less than amazing! Great staff that always greeted with a warm hello and catered to your needs. Great view! Plenty of privacy! Definitely a romantic getaway. Samsara is definitely a 5 Star. My only recommendation would add more of a selection to the menu.

Best Ubud experiences ever!!!

Spent amazing 2 nights there to celebrate my mom's birthday.
They have prepared short video clip to welcoming & celebrating my mom's birthday which is certainly unforgettable. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings, great breakfast with a view (we had River Lobster for the breakfast, how awesome!), convenient shuttle services from Samsara to Ubud market...
They have limited villas unlike other big hotel chains, offering you a considerate and attentive services through their signature butler service- I have left my phone in my room and they have brought it to my dinner place despite of the distance, such a great service!
Overall, it was an fantastic staying in Samsara, can't wait to return soon :)

The hotel surroundings in the jungle where really nice. Every detail had been though of both in the looks and in the service. The villa was nicely decorated and was just like in the pictures and videos. Everything was clean, although a bit (but not too) dated. The breakfast was just perfect! Also dinner was really good. The hotel arranged free trips (e.g. Ubud sightseeing), activities (such as yoga and outside movie). If you look for some peace, quiet and great service, this is a great choice. The only down side was that the walls are quite thin and you can hear noice from the villa sharing a wall with you but that was not a problem at least in our experience

Amazing stay!

On a hillside in the middle of the lost jungles of Ubud the resort Samsara is the perfect getaway and we loved our choice of resort!

If you are ever in Ubud this is the place to stay and if you are ever in Bali, consider spending a couple of days in Ubud to experience the island life away from the crowds!

Yes, this place is really in the middle of nowhere spot to relax, so don’t expect anything else then just the magic sounds of the jungle and a perfect stay for relaxations!

Samsara is an luxurious resort in gorgeous rain forest setting and we had an amazing stay in our villa with a private pool, our butler Putra aced each task with top marks, from smoothly checking us into our villa, handling our random requests with military efficiency, to organizing our restaurant and pampering reservations! All the small details and gifts every night made everything just so personal and so amazing! When you’re away for a visit in Ubud city you are really looking forward to get home for the turndown, can promise you that! :-)

We would also give a extra big thank you to following persons that made our stay extra special!

Kariasa/Kari for welcoming us in the best way and always looking after us.
Putra - our amazing Butler for taking such good care it us and our room and for being an amazing safe driver when going back from Ubud to the hotel!
Nik and Artha in the restaurant for doing the little extras for us!

We spent 9 days here for our anniversary, and are really more than satisfied - the hotel, the staff, food & service was faaaantastic. Very kind and helpful with all our requests (some in the night;-)), 5 stars at all issues. at arrival, the anniversary cake and fruits was waiting, bath with fresh flowers and additional shower outside of bathroom - surrounded by stones and bamboo - nice feeling ! room was very spacious with nice design, all in balinese wood - the restaurant - very nice wine selection (recommend also very good ines from Indonesia) and signature drinks, the breakfast - 4 different styles with many options a'la carte - lobster & egg - my favourite, and the main dinner menu is really top one. modern indonesian with touch of french cuisine, really fits all demands...try floating breakfast in your private pool with champaigne, try chakra massage and balinese tea ceremony - they got all for all your senses...shuttle bus service to ubud everyday and booking of all trips you would like to have directly from hotel - simply, forget about everything and enjoy your holiday...we really spend here a beautiful and restfull time, with beautiful jungle views...already promised ourselves to come here again soon...for more than 10 days...thanks to all staff, you are great, and doing great job here for all guests...best regards - Michael & Marika

최악의 호텔

삼사라 우붓이서 2박하고 다녀 갔습니다. 가이드 차량 이용해서 우붓시내 구경후 체크인간에 맞춰 도착했습니다. 우붓시장에서 차로 20분정도 걸리는 위치에 있습니다. 임신한 아내와 태교여행으로 쉬기위해 신중히 골라 예약한 곳이였는데 체크인 후 직원이 붙어 이것저것 물어봅니다. 언제 도착했고 얼마나 발리에 있을거며 삼사라 우붓이외 어느호텔에 예약했는지 다른호텔예약한 바우처러지 보여달라고 합니다. 또 환전은 어디서 했고 얼마나 했는지 이때부터 낌새가 이상해서 왜 물어보냐 그랬더니 인포메이션때문에 물어본다 하더군요. 직원태도는 굉장히 불친절했습니다. 그리고 내일은 계획이 있는지 어딜갈건지도 물어보더군요. 삼사라우붓에서 운영하는 스파나 여행투어 계속 강요합니자. 가격도 비싸구요. 와이프랑 상의해보고 말해준다고 해도 지금결정하라고 강요합니다. 결국 웰컴드링크 마시지도 못하고 로비에서 기분잡쳤네요. 방안내받고 짐 옮겨주고 나서 팁을요구하듯이 설명 엄청길게 하고 안나가길래 10000루피아 건네주니 땡큐하고 바로 사라집니다. 시설은 깨긋하나 방음은 최악입니다. 옆룸에서 말하는 소리 다 들리고 삼사라 우붓에서 머물면서 가장최악 이였던건 개미들이 엄청나게 많습니다. 방안도 그렇고 레스토랑 테이블에도 많이 돌아다닙니다. 조식 먹는데 밥맛 떨어지더군요. 마지막날 조식먹고 인포가서 11:30에 체크아웃할 예정이라 말하고 짐 운반부탁했습는데 11:40분 되도록 아무연락 없길래 방에서 인포까지 땀뻘뻘 흘리며 짐옮겼습다. 임신한 아내한테 너무 미안하더라구요. 숙소 잘못 고룬탓에 발리태교여행 최악이였습니다. 절대 이곳에서 묵지 마세요~ 후회 합니다.

ウブドの中でも少し奥まった場所にあります。サービスはとても良く、スタッフの方も皆さんフレンドリーで隠れ家のようなビラでした。到着した日は大雨で、19時頃に到着したのですが、嫌な顔せず素早く対応してくれました。すぐにサービスのフットマッサージも部屋でしてくれました。部屋のシャワーは到着した日はほとんどお湯が出なかったのですが、翌日はきちんと出たので大雨の影響だと思います。(大雨でもWiFiは使用できました)あれだけの山奥なので、これくらいのトラブルは仕方ないと思います。総合的にとても良いビラだと思いました。またウブドへ行く際は訪れたいです。
