Villa Sabandari

Basically the hotel is great but a new hotel is being built just in front of the pool. Construction noise starts at 8am and they work until late in the evening. Another little critic is that the employees are nice only until the morning you check out. One of the first sentence while bringing breakfast was: when you check out? We need room.

Wow! Our stay at this hotel was above and beyond exceptional. From the beautiful design, to the peaceful environment, to the friendly and incredible service -- the whole experience was a dream. The staff was SO kind and accommodating -- we loved the morning breakfast on our patio, the afternoon tea, and the lovely spa. And when we got a flat tire on our rented scooter, someone drove into town and picked us up on the side of the road within 10 minutes I absolutely can't wait to come back to this hotel.

Loved this place. Beautiful rooms with views over rice paddies. Lovely staff and wonderful breakfast and afternoon tea. Will be back next year for sure.

My wife and I spent 5 nights at Villa Sabandari this month and couldn't have been happier with our choice. We wanted an intimate feel that still offered the amenities we desired, as well as a peaceful place to come back to each night that was still close to the center of Ubud. This location offered all of those things The proximity to town was a big benefit (a 5-10 min scooter ride for almost everything we wanted to do in Ubud) but set back just enough to be very peaceful and quiet The grounds themselves are exceptionally clean and well kept. There's a lot of attention to detail and it really presents a professional and homey vibe. Your room looks out on palm trees surrounding a very nice infinity pool, with rice fields in the background. Very serene and beautiful. You're served breakfast at your choice of location (dining room, terrace or poolside) at a time of your choosing. We consider these to be some of the best meals we had while in Indonesia. Fresh fruit, different juices each day, excellent coffee and a changing main course and pastries each day really got us ready to go in the morning. If you're around midday, there is also an afternoon tea that comes with delicious treats. On equal footing with the beauty, the calming environment, the spacious/well equipped rooms and the delicious food, were the staff. Without fail, every person was friendly, helpful and did whatever they could to make our stay better. One of the finest stays we've ever had.

Our stay at Villa Sabandari was just perfect, throughout the five days. Since our arrival till our departure everything was prepared and delivered in the best possible way and both the owner and the employees were more than gracefully ready to provide for us. The place itself is new, amazingly beautiful with very serene. It is not in the heart of Ubud which made it even better if you want to avoid the crazy noise of the town. We were delighted with the freebies (a local phone number, free shuttle service to the town and the restaurants, as well as the afternoon high tea) which made our stay even more convenient. Breakfast was always excellent and the room spotlessly clean.
