The staff were amazing and lovely, they were always so happy to help and very attentative. The rooms were unique and very natural, we loved the open air bathroom. We had a frog living in the bathroon, a few cute geckos running up and down the walls and we loved it. The landscape was beautiful with lots of lovely trees, plants and statues. The pools were great. The resort is small so has limited rooms, which meant it was lovely and quiet and peaceful. The food was very tasty and the staff were so good, at times they even kept my grandkids busy so we could eat. We celebrated my hubbys 50th and my neices 21st and the staff had a caje for each and sung Happy Birthday. Our holiday was made better by the staff, and the resort was a lovely, and relaxing place to stay.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at sungu Resort and Spa I will definitely stay there again. The food was always delicious, fresh, beautifully prepared and served. Being surrounded by the beautiful gardens on the property, you don't realize how close to Ubud markets and shops, but far enough away for it to feel quiet and secluded. I came away feeling relaxed and rejuvenated all thanks to the wonderful staff.

very beautiful resort, only 10-15 minutes walk from ubud central. only had one issue which was lizards, sometimes they were able to sneak into our villa, but that's really not their fault as ubud is located in a rain forest lol, I'm very afraid of lizards and the stuff was soo kind that they moved us in a more fully enclosed modern villa which was their top of the range with no extra charges. the resort itself its located in a very cute location surrounded by the forest and many picturesque views. I really recommend for anyone planning to stay in ubud to go and check it out.

The room is spacious and staff were lovely. The rooms are a little “rustic”, with frogs, geckos and mozzies all sharing the space. But maybe that’s part of the Bali charm.

This resort could be so good, but it is let down by out of date facilities. The gardens are beautiful and grounds are great, but become slippery and are not lit up well at night. The rooms are not well sound proofed and the surrounding area is noisy all night. We moved to a back villa, but could hear the neighbours even at low talking volume and when they climbed their stairs it felt like they were in our room. The staff are very friendly and, but some were over keen to sell us extra tours and services.

I checked into the hotel only to find the bed sheets were filled with blood stains, bug marks, and general filth. It was clear the room and bed had not been cleaned. Upon contacting the front desk about the situation, asking to have either the sheets cleaned or to check if a different room was available, I was told nothing could be done today and I’d have to wait until tomorrow - before being hung up on. I immediately checked out, and yet they still won’t process my refund through Expedia despite not even using the room whatsoever. Immensely dissapointed, you can find so much better - and cleaner - in Ubud. Not having blood stains should be the bare minimum!

Lovely stay at the Sungu

We had a great stay at The Sungu. Firstly they happily picked us up from the airport late in the evening, 5 hours later than initially arranged due to changed flights. Our room was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious, and so was the afternoon tea and cake. There is a shuttle in and out of Ubud central at any time you like, even though it really is close enough to walk. Overall we had a lovely stay and I would happily return to The Sungu.

Great service, good location and a very nice room

Hotel staff have been wonderful throughout our 3 night stay. We thought the hotel location was ideal; it's out of the hustle and bustle of central Ubud but walking distance to it and they offer a shuttle service to the town centre. There was a complimentary afternoon treat every day and we got free tickets and drop off and pick up to the Rudana museum.

Not a 4 Star!

The hotel is noted as a 4 star but the reality was quite different:
-The bathroom floor is very slippery. Not a big deal until someone falls and seriously injures themselves. My kids kept on slipping and I had to lay towels all over the floor.
-In the middle of the night, there was a bat flying in my bathroom!
-Lots of roaches in the bathroom. I asked them to clean it up, they must have sprayed while I was out. Once I came back, I saw numerous dead roaches and had to clean them up, myself!
-Staff consists of many trainees who do not speak English. This was not a big deal, but then there was a gas leak and someone came to our room to say \"gas leak\", we could not understand anything else. I expect that the older/perm staff members handle such situations.
-I wanted breakfast with no bacon, but my dish came with bacon. The waiter (trainee), took out the bacon with a fork. I explained that I can not eat this because the food has touched the bacon....this was very hard to explained. In these situations again, I expect the older/perm staff to take care of the issue.

For a 4 star hotel, this was not run in a 4 star manner. The trainees are relied on too much for all tasks and with their limited English it makes it hard for us to communicate basic things.

There is a major cleanliness issue.

I will not be going back to this resort.

Nice hotel location in Ubud

The hotel was very pleasing and at a great location within walking distance to town, the staff were always pleasant, the free area shuttle service was useful and the room was always clean when we returned. The only bad thing about it I can think of was that the shower was cold and one of the bedside lamps didn't have an on/off switch and the cabling looked unsafe. Though after notifying the reception, they had electricians come fix the lamp almost immediately and also informed us the shower took 15min to warm up which was better then no hot water at all.

Pinch me! We are at Sungu!

We arrived to a warm welcome and a welcome drink in a champagne glass. Grounds were beautiful. We took pictures every way we turned. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. I was interested in a full moon festival and one of the staff personally took us to a ceremony that there were no other tourists attending. We needed sarongs and he even provided those and female staff members helped us to tie them correctly.
Breakfast was efficient, beautifully presented and delicious.
Pools were made for photos. The grounds were lush and well maintained.
Complimentary transportation into Ubud city center is available all day long till 10 pm.
The only negative thing is the walk into the city center is difficult. It is about a 10 minute walk. But roads are narrow, hilly and very busy. Maps do not tell the whole story. It is possible. We are walkers, but desired the ease and safety of the complimentary transportation.
Cannot say enough good things about this place. The perfect place to land after a long journey to Bali.

That was really impressed us to stay in such a lovely resort. The Baliness designed Bungalow with tropical garden surrounding, quiet and feel very relaxing. The resort is near to the town center ( 10 minutes walk, you can enjoy shopping slowly to the town center ) The Excellent shuttle service is provided to the resort guess. and we can used the shuttle service to the town center as many time as we wanted . The drivers always stay by to send us to the town area, and to pick up when we wanted to go back for a rest.
The room is big, clean and comfortable with fresh flowers placed in the room. The bathroom is big, near the shower area, the designed was Semi-open Air concept, and there is a bathtub attached on the other corner. The staff will clean the room twice a day and during evening time, the staff will help to put down the mosquito net and on the light in the room.

Nice small resort

I stayed 4 nights at The Sungu Resort with my family. We had 1 one duplex (2 king beds, reasonable price for the 5 of us) next to the swimming pool which was perfect as my eldest daughter spent some time and enjoyed the swimming pool. The beds were quite big and comfortable and the resort provided a baby cot for my 4-month daughter. The food was quite good, and we loved their Balinese ginger tea. There is a free shuttle bus service to ubud center, which is actually not far from the hotel as we came back twice by foot.
The hotel offered 30-min body massage. As my husband was not interested I enjoyed a 1-hour body massage free.
However few improvements can be made to enhance the overall quality of the resort:
- Please change the shower gel, the smell is very very strong and unbearable. We bought one shower gel in the center as we could not use the one from the hotel as too smelly;
- White bed sheets and towels with brown marks;
- Some documents and towels with still, I supposed what was, the previous name of the hotel (Waka Namya), which is not serious.
Despite this we had a great stay at The Sungu and would probably go back there if we go again to Ubud

2 nights in Ubud

We switch hotel to Sungu Resort and Spa and it was all we needed back then! From the uncleaned, cockroaches, bugs etc to the luxury hotel life. Little expencier hotel but worth it if you want little bit luxury for your holiday. Breakfast was served as an ala carte dish so you ate yourself full but no food was wasted. Bed and bathroom was the best thing in our room and also the orange smell. Good location and only 10min walk to Ubud centrum.
