Alam Ubud Culture Villas & Residences

Not happy with the cleanliness of the place

None

If gluten intolerant the food options are very limited, no speciality cafe and plant based milk available.

Room is very nice , clean

Loved the infinity pool with the view. The room/villa is huge and the bathtub in the room have window directly to the forest. Love the provided mosquito net. The bed is comfortable. The staff hospitality is top notch. Loved the breakfast menu selection and the dishes. The room service is also quite fast with various range of options. Liked the spring pool by the river but unfortunately didnt get the chance to swim there. There was a gecko in the room, but I think it's inevitable since it's so close to the trees and jungle. It's only because I am afraid of gecko and the sound of it in the room made me difficult to relax and sleep. Glad the bed has built-in mosquito net and the sound appeared on the check out day. If you had no problem, it shouldnt be an issue since it's close to nature.

The hotel was stunning and the views were spectacular. The infinity pool and spring water pool were both beautiful and relaxing and the breakfast in the morning was delicious. There are only stairs to get up and down, no elevators or ramps so if you do have trouble walking or need disability services this is probably not the place for you. It is also about 40 minute taxi ride to the center.

We were met at checkin by the friendliest, most welcoming staff who helped us get our bags down to our room and throughout our stay, i can't say enough good things about the people who work at Alam Ubud. They were exceptional! I might not have stayed here if i had realised that we would be walking up and down the equivalent of 8 flights of stairs to get to the restaurant or to get out to see someplace. I had no idea it was going to be so far and since I have severe osteoarthritis, that was a huge deal! If anyone in a similar situation considers booking here - book villa 1 or 2 - no others!

Nature / staff the place run down/ no basic cleanliness , Doors don’t fully seal, small lizards got in, and baby lizards actually fell from the ceiling in the main cabana. I developed a rash likely from bed mites, and the room was very humid with damp walls. Limited breakfast options, overpriced for the comfort and cleanliness provided.

The food, view and massage has been impressive.

Exceptional

Good location, reasonable prices for ; food, massages, rentals, drop off and pick up, roomservice, etc .. Infinity pool is a real pleasure to relax, free yoga on Tuesday is a recommendation! Very friendly staff, willing and helpful! Nothing

Good

Pleasant

The view and landscape is just stunningly and peaceful zen vibes No support to get in & out of the pool especially if your over 50’s was tough ( pool bar ladder support is ideal )

Pool, restaurant Stairs, though we asked for a room close to pool and restaurant so we did not have to negotiate all the stairs on the steep property, and they kindly accommodated us.

Everything about the place and the people are just amazing. We had a great stay

I had the distinct pleasure of staying at Alam Ubud Culture Villas for 12 peaceful nights during my trip to Bali. I very rarely write reviews but was so impressed by the service and accommodation that I had to give kudos to the team for their prompt and courteous attendance while managing to keep the grounds in pristine condition. I opted for a room with a private pool (Yudistira). The main room and bathroom were both spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable, the air conditioner was silent and the hot water was plentiful for long morning showers. There was a small bar fridge in the room which was handy for keeping groceries and water nice and cool. Room cleaning (including coffee/tea station + 2x water bottle refill and towel replacing) was available daily at request from the reception (just use the room phone). They have a laundry service available and generally will have your laundry pressed, folded and back to you within 24 hours. Outside the little private infinity pool was well maintained. I had zero problems with mosquitoes or other jungle critters coming into the room; I just made sure to keep the doors closed when venturing outside to the pool. The wifi was solid with no issues streaming from either my iPad or television. The grounds encompassing the entire place is quite large with steps and terraces descending down the valley to a spring fed pool and finally a large decking at the base near the river. There is a ramp that descends down a portion of the way but traversal of the grounds is best done on foot with good footwear as it can get slippery. Having a restaurant with room service available onsite until 22:00 was fantastic. After 12 nights I had sampled most of the menu and was delighted with the variety and quality of food. The complimentary breakfast that came with the room needs to be ordered the day before with reception. The selection was ample with traditional Balinese to Western or vegetarian breakfasts.

Superb

Location is very good. Away from the crowds. Just the sound of nature and the river. The main pool is excellent with a good infinity view into the lush forest. Breakfast is decent too. Great staff. Our pool area wasn't particularly inviting. It needed a good refreshing. Having the condensation drainage pipe from the AC draining down the wall with green algae in the pool area is not a good look. The lower areas of the complex also lack TLC.

Quiet and peaceful, sleeping to the sounds of the forest, water flowing in the river below, birds and frogs. Had a villa and private pool overlooking forest and river valley People were fantastic, great staff, always helpful and courteous. Used both the restaurant and room service for meals and had a range of food options. On the hillside above a river, with villa's down the slope, so steps to get to and from villa. Expected and part of the experience, but could be considered a negative if you don't like steps. Also about 20 minutes out of Ubud, have a free shuttle in twice a day, costs about 90,000 Rp by Grab.
