We stayed in a one bed villa with a private pool, the villa itself was beautiful and spacious, the veranda and the private pool area have wonderful views, perfect at any time of day.
The complimentary mini bar, breakfast and afternoon tea were all wonderful, there was a great selection at breakfast and the staff looked after us very well, making sure that we had enough. The afternoon tea contained different sandwiches and cakes every day for our 5 days.
I will return as soon as possible.

Everything was top notch - the food, the people, the hospitality and the ambience. The spa was superb and the daily Balinese activities a fun way to learn some culture. The live performances especially were a standout. The whole resort is a mesh between traditional Balinese design with batiks, the Ramayana love story, and contemporary elements.
We recommend wholeheartedly without hesitation.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. We celebrated a birthday whilst there and they arrived at the room with a cake and decorated the room whilst we were out. The location is unbeatable, quiet but perfectly central for all cafes and restaurants and 5 min walk from the beach. The food was great from the hotel restaurant and the staff were lovely and could not do enough for us. It was that good we go back in 5 days after a trip to Uluwatu

We loved our 4 night stay at Maya Ubud! The hotel is secluded, in the middle of the jungle, and has 2 amazing infinity pools. The staff is super nice and helpful. Great spa in an incredible setting with very good treatments. The rooms are average though and the condition of the furniture not great.

It is in a quiet location. Rooms are clean, spacious and aircon is really effective. Good place down the road to get laundry done. Lots of good eateries around. The gym was small but useful. The pool area was great.
I didn't eat at hotel. Hotel is not far from Desa Potato Heads, so there are lots of activities there you can do. The Forge Sports Bar is a good gastro pub within walking distance.
Very good value for money and the staff are so nice.

This place has one of the best private pool villa for the given price. Although the road to the property is very poor and there is nothing scenic outside but inside the property it's like being in a beautiful rainforest.
Food:The restaurant service is amazing with a breakfast with limited options but better in taste and quality than any other breakfast buffets of a 5 star property. You must try their breakfast burrito and rice noodles, they were one of the best.
