The Ning Resort Ubud

Amazing resort in a beautiful area and wit top class staff. The free shuttle service to Ubud centre made it easy to experience all of Ubud

Outside of the 3 shuttle service departure time, it was a bit more expensive to order a private taxi, than just ordering a grab

Very calming and everyone was so kind and helpful

Nothing!

We liked that the location was calm, and super comfortable. The staff was super friendly. The breakfast is amazing with a lot to chose from! Rooms are well isolated from the noise. Overall a super experience!

The only thing we can say is about the hot water that didn’t last very long.

gorgeous decor, especially plunge pool in villa. quite good sound isolation and peacefulness given the craziness of ubud. wifi was decent and hot water etc worked well - not always true of boutique/rural hotels. Live music at dinner was a charming touch. the stone paths, lighting, jungle, it’s all real! it’s all great!

the place was underwhelming on many basics/standards. no small washcloths provided (for showering/scrubbing); little refreshment towels provided at check-in (a usually nice resort touch) were visibly stained brown, rather unappealing. Food was overpriced for area (typical), but far below quality of local restaurants; in the provided breakfast, fruit was not fresh, bread was mediocre. barely any hangers in closet to store clothes. no hooks in shower-toilet for towel. Or anywhere actually. You will never have a hung-dry towel. two things bothered me worst: - location is close to ubud and i liked the retreat atmosphere, but you are not allowed to call a Grab due to the site/village location, so expect to pay 2x for a hotel car (and far more BS to book). If you walk out to get a grab, village taxi drivers kind of shame you. It’s a random location fail I had no idea about ahead of time. - in the villa we stayed in, the design is pretty but also awful: toilet is in the shower (!), door to the toilet is clear glass (!!), and the location is visible from villa entrance. So if you’re there on a romantic getaway with a partner, you will have to use audio cues if you want even visual privacy to poop. (Forget auditory privacy, it’s all there…)
