I had a wonderful stay at Sankara during my solo Holiday. I arrived in the middle of the night, fatigued, tired and recovering from a minor car accident enroute to the hotel. I was met with kindness, warmth, concern and a mid-night snack. From that point forward, my stay was nothing but outstanding. I travel often, so I am not easily impressed. The staff was kind, welcoming, anticipated my needs and aided me in the quite peace I was seeking. The Spa and spa staff - top notch! I really felt at home and regretted not planning a longer stay at the Sankara. I highly recommend the Sankara Suites & Villas in Ubud. :-) Thank you all so much!

Beautiful with great potential

Beautiful getaway, perfect to relax , all the staff is super friendly, food is very good

Very nice property with lots of character. Staff, food and facilities were excellent. As a comment for further improvement would be to have brighter light in the bathroom for shaving. Other than that it was perfect

The property is nice. The staff is nice. The Spa was excellent. Very reasonable prices.The floating breakfast wasnt worth it the entire pool is about 5 feet all over. You have to pull the tray to the edge to try and eat. Check-out time is at 12pm and they only give you 30 mins more fore late check-out.

We had a great stay. We had a twin valley room which was very comfortable. Breakfast was great, with a variety of cooked to order options available. We spent most of our time at the pool which was lovely with loungers and umbrellas. Had an amazing massage and facial at the spa. The resort provides a free shuttle into Ubud several times a day. Takes about 5-10 min. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a late checkout and they let us use a hotel room to shower after the day in the pool.

The staff is very nice and kindly. Our pool villa is amazing 😍 and the shuttle service is great.

Amazing staff, rooms, and location! Loved every minute of my stay and the staff was the best!

Fantastic couples retreat

We loved this place. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and perfectly manicured. The staff was amazing and so polite and helpful. The spa looked out onto the jungle and the massage was the best I’ve ever had. Our room had a private pool and we loved it. The main pool was great but we spent most of our time at our own pool. We did yoga in the morning and that was great too. My wife and I highly recommend this place for a stay in Ubud. Just a short and inexpensive ride away on the shuttle was the monkey forest

Everything was very nice! Excellent customer service! Helped with our bags, food was great, room was perfect with a private pool and fresh fruit daily. Air conditioning worked well. Even helped us when our rental car wouldn’t start!

I felt very well taken care of by the hotel staff. They greeted me when i came back. The room was very spacious and clean. It's a villa near the nature so insects crawling around are expected but not too annoying. The bed was too soft for me. I enjoyed the outdoor bathtub. A soak in hot water under the starry sky was the perfect way to relax after a long day. Breakfast selection was great. Coffee is on point. Overall, i had a great experience staying here.

Although good natural surroundings but rooms are dark, not well lit. The staff (especially Ladoo Restaurant) will deny everything you ask and tell you that they don't have it and when you insist , it magically appears. Not good options in breakfast. There are much better options available around.

Nice property but the ground floor valley rooms have a musty smell that I considered disconcerting. Had to ask for a humidifier to help remove some of the moisture in the air. This helped but I still had to switch rooms. I dont like wrinkled clothing so I had to request an iron and ironing board every day. You could only get it for 3 hours at a time. This was really annoying. It didnt help that the ironing board cover was worn, burnt and dirty. The room was a nice size and I really appreciated the staff. They were very attentive and tried to solve the issues. Food at the restaurant was good especially breakfast. A bit expensive for Bali but not totally unreasonable.

Beautiful property with really good food. Rooms are beautiful but you’re in the middle of a jungle so after day 2 we had flying cockroaches, lizzards and small ants in our suite

I enjoyed the lush setting and grounds, the architecture and the friendliness of the staff. The onsite spa was particularly nice. Imagine getting a massage on the deck of a treehouse! The spa team knows how to properly give whatever kind of massage you would like. I was there for 3 days and got a massage every day. I’m already planning on a return!

This is a strange place. It looks beautiful and with first impression it is. The pool,the gardens,the walkway down to the private villas…. However The buildings are poorly made. The walls are paper thin. You can hear your neighbours talking. The workers (happily) chatting. People walking past. It often felt like people were inside the villa. The music from the main pool echo’s loudly down to the villas. Again would be great if you wanted a party place but if you wanted to unwind with nature - forget it. The staff are individually lovely polite and courteous however there was a lack of communication. MAKE SURE YOU BOOK THE SHUTTLE. They will collect you however they will (try) and charge you much more than a taxi from ubud. After looking around at other villas for the price of Sankara suite with private pool you can definitely get a better deal elsewhere. The breakfast at $27 (aud) was lacking.The spa treatment itself was good again very overpriced and because it’s semi outdoors it was the only place in Bali that I got mosquitos bites. I hate leaving bad reviews but for Bali I honestly know you can do better elsewhere

Customer service from the front desk was terrrible. The front staff needs to be trained on how to provide better customer service as well as conflict management. Servers need to stop starring and whispering amongst each other while the guests dine. It is very uncomfortable to see them watch you from afar while you eat. We had the 126 sq m suite. While very large and has a beautiful entrance, the room was strange on the inside. The washroom needs to be separated from the bedroom and closed off. It should not be open to the ceiling at the top and separated by a glass door which allows all the washroom smell to escape into the living/sleeping space. Really yucky placement of the bed only a couple of feet from the toilet. The air was the worst. The room has a mouldy wet smell once entered. To mask it, they attached an automatic room spray by the AC that goes off intermittently. I do not know what's worst, having mouldy/wet washroom smell in the room or strong chemical fragrance to mask it. Very dim lit space. It's perpetually dark in the room night to day with very low light and not enough lights/lamps for such a big room. Strange layout. While the room is very large, it is mainly made of a separate area for the jacuzzi and bathtub which had no lighting anywhere near it. The bed, as mentioned, is right in the middle of the room with the washroom 2 feet from the bed. Checked out first thing next day. Really bad experience. Not even worth 4 stars.

Very quiet and pleasing. Lots of nature within the resort. Would definitely go again.

The service and the staff are excellent. The hotel is beautiful but the room is a little tired and feels dirty. The valley suite bathroom wall partition is from wood so it has black mold on the bottom. Many design flaws for sure. They need to renovate these rooms for sure. I found an unopened candy on the floor of my room which means they didnt sweep or map from the last guest. Unfortunately I won’t be coming back here unless they renovate it.

Best decision of our spontaneous Bali trip to book this exotic getaway. Stayed in a River villa with private pool and was amazing. Staff extremely helpful and always greeted us. Convenient shuttle into town when needed but hard to leave such a luxurious property.

All around exceptional! Clean, comfortable and just stunningly beautiful. The staff went above and beyond every day and were SO friendly. We will definitely be back!

Loved my stay here really. Sad it was only a few short nights but very wonderful room, lovely staff, very accommodating. It is situated in a peaceful part of Ubud and they have a shuttle to take you to the more touristy attractions. Their breakfast is soooo delicious! and their Radha Spa is so beautiful. Very satisfied

Amazing hotel, staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Conveniently located 10 minutes from Ubud City Centre but far enough to enjoy the serenity.

Had a great stay at the Sankara. Its a bit off from central ubud, but they arrange free shuttle to and from ubud city center. The hotel had an excellent breakfast, very good and attentive straff. Beautiful location, would stay hete again.

The best resort we stayed at in Bali! M we were greeted with a drink and fresh towel like all other resorts. The hotel was just beautiful! The room we got had a private Infiniti pool facing the forest and a private hot up as well! Room bathroom and everything about it was just flawless! Breakfast is actually very good and it was included with our option. The hotel offers a free complimentary photo shoot from which they will give you a free edited photo but we ended up buying the whole album because we loved the photos so much! This was very close to tegalalang rice fields and ubud centre. If I had to say anything negative the only thing I would say is the hotel isn’t very nice to GoJek drivers and they give them a hard time sometimes which makes it hard to get GoJek cabs in the area and since they are the cheapest and best you want to use them. As subtle as they try to be it’s obvious they aren’t very nice to them if they come to pick you up. I guess that’s because the hotel has their own driver but cost of using their car is usually like 5 times higher. That aside I will definitely come back here! This hotel was one of the best experiences in ubud!

This was our first honeymoon stop in Bali. We arrived late at night and we had the warmest welcome, we found our room decorated with flower petals, welcome sandwiches and cake. Our favourite thing was the breakfast which is an experience in itself with everything a la carte, organic and simply delicious. I also recommend dining at the restaurant as food is delicious with many options to chose from. Location is great just 10-15 mins shuttle from center Ubud, easy access to Tegenungan waterfall and Tegalalang rice terrace. I want to thank the staff for making our stay so confortable and for their kindness and attention to details.

Our pool villa was really lovely. Me and my husband had a beautiful, relaxing and peaceful time. I should say the food portions are really really extremely small! We had to order extra everything and pay and even with the free breakfast some of the waiters would give this weird look for ordering extra bacon or adding an extra egg. What’s the point of eating if you’re still going to be hungry right? But overall wonderful place. The spa is nice and the property is amazing.

I stayed 2 nights in the river view villa (Yamato) with the intention of chilling out in the villa and using the private pool. Check in was fine though there seemed like there was a push for guests to participate in activities and the themed dinner. At check in they warned of mosquito spraying at 4pm - the ‘spray’ filled the room and surrounds for about 15 minutes and had me breathing through a soaked towel for the duration and then some. Afternoon teas could not be served in the room, food and drink prices were extortionate and tasteless. The breakfasts were inedible. The hotel itself is quite a distance from central Ubud so bring supplies before arriving. Staff were very friendly however. I think the hotel was wanting to be a 5 star hotel (in an area that was anything but) but unfortunately failed miserably. For the 350pn price tag I expected a lot more but really ended up with disappointment and the desire to leave as soon as possible. Sorry, but there are better places to stay.
