Bambootel Sawah View

My partner and I had the most incredible stay with Bambootel. The resort is peaceful and nestled into a secluded area of the jungle. The resort grounds and the individual rooms are beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very unique. There are a wide range of services, activities and excursions offered by the resort to envelope you into Balinese culture or enhance your stay – the cooking class was a lot of fun (thank you so much Tari!) and the massages (thank you Yuyun and Suarni) were a big highlight for us. A very big thank you to Nanda who assisted us on our tour of the exquisite Menening Temple and water meditation experience. And to Ari and Kori who allowed us to assist and guided us through the making of their daily Gebogan offerings. The food at the restaurant is delectable – We highly recommend the pork belly entrée, the Pad Thai main, and definitely ensure you try the lava cake! And we had a delightful time trying a wide range of cocktails on the menu while listening to a great live duo cover all of our favourite song requests acoustically. However, my partner and I agree more than anything, that what makes Bambootel so incredibly special are the wonderful staff. Rediak and Ari in butler services, Manik and Ana at reception, and Budi the operations manager, were so incredibly kind and so welcoming. Ela, Sopy and Ardana are the friendliest waitresses and waitors who made us so excited to go to eat as we knew there was always warm conversations and laughs waiting for us. It is the staff of Bambootel that left such a strong positive imprint on our memories of our trip to Bali, quite easily the highlight of our whole trip, and we are so incredibly grateful for them.

Check-in was very smooth, the staff even kept us some dinner despite our very late arrival. They picked us up by car from the airport, everything here was really without any hassle. The rooms are breathtaking, each with a view, a real experience in itself. The villa was clean, super comfy and total privacy included. It has all amenities needed, and staff brings everything that is not readily available to your door. Breakfast is abundant, you can choose from about 10 different mains and additional 10 sweet options, plus fresh juices from the local area. Every room and villa has direct access to the pool.

Food, facilities and service was outstanding. Absolutely beautiful place, luxurious yet low key/chilled boutique vibe. Architecture stunning. Staff were fantastic. Yoga was great and rice field walk fantastic to learn about the village and culture. Sunset view lovely. I was worried we would be too far away from general Ubud activities, but not at all. Coming back to this hotel after a busy day of tourist activities was like heaven on Earth. I will definitely be back!

The staff was extremely friendly and the accommodation was beautifully made out of bamboo! The staff was almost too attentive lol ! We enjoyed our 2 days here for my birthday and it is a unique property about 45 min from downtown Ubud. They even came to my room and sang for me and gave me free champagne and cake - very thoughtful! We’d recommend getting the room with the pool as ours didn’t have one and the main hotel pool was under construction.

We returned to Bambootel for our second stay, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt just right – warm, welcoming, and beautifully curated. 🌿 Breakfast is simply outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and served with care. 🌟 The staff deserves special praise: incredibly supportive, attentive, and operating at a truly high level of service quality. 💫 We actually left the property after our first booking, tried another resort, and came straight back the next day – nothing else even comes close. The resort is located a bit north of central Ubud, but they offer a complimentary shuttle, which makes getting around super easy and convenient. Highly recommend the suite with jacuzzi – pure relaxation – and the Spa, where I had the best massage ever from Yuyu (hope I got her name right!). Don’t miss the silver jewelry class at the store recommended by Bambootel – amazing craftsmanship and a meaningful souvenir for you and your partner. 🍽️ Dinner? Also excellent. Honestly, there’s nothing to complain about. If you’re looking for a place in Ubud that blends comfort, authenticity, and exceptional service – Bambootel is it. We’ll be back again, no doubt.
