Ubud Luwih Nature Retreat

Check in was at 2p.m and I arrived early.. like 2a.m because of the time change from America to Bali I wasn't expecting it to be such a different time change. Staff was still available and ready to assist me with check in and luggage. My villa was beautiful and the private pool was a great addition to celebrating my birthday with gorgeous flower decorations and a floating breakfast. Communication was a bit difficult because staff members had a hard time speaking English but we made things work.. I did notice that they would occasionally go into my villa without my consent to restock complimentary waters but I dont believe that was necessary unless I asked them to do so. Complimentary breakfast was also included every morning with my stay which was convenient. My pool worked fine the first couple days but after the decoration of the flowers, the filter stopped working which caused the pool to become cloudy and still water. Staff would also come into my private area when I wasn't there to fix it.. but again.. I dont think that was necessary unless I asked them to do so. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would just suggest that if you consider staying there, locking your belongings up while on outings. The girl at the front desk was so sweet and helped me arrange taxi at checkout which saved me $ and made check out smooth. Helped me with my bags and luggage. There were tiny ants crawling on bedding which were completely harmless but still cringe.

This was hands down the best stay we have had on our travels so far. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay so amazing. They were very attentative, friendly and helpful the whole stay. They were also just genuinely interested to chat to us and share stuff about their culture and good tips for us while we were there. The value for money was fantastic and I question why this is only a 3 star, it should be higher. We had a private villa and it was so spacious, clean and we loved the private pool and big bathtub looking over the rice fields. The food was also to a very good standard, including the breakfast that they deliver to your room every day. Have seen a few comments on the animals and bugs, this is out in a rural area so unfortunately this is out of the staffs control and we didn't have any issues inside our actual room. We would like to thank the staff again for the lovely stay, we couldn't recommend this place more.

Lovely staff and a very quiet location well away from Ubud centre, just note if wildlife noises ( frogs ) at night time aren't your thing then don't come here. Lovely private villa with pool, overlooking the rice fields. You will need a scooter or a local taxi if you wish to get into Ubud as its about a 55 min walk Into town. It's a perfect base if you want relaxation, peace and quiet and use it as a base for going out daily on pre arranged tours within Ubud, North or East Bali.

Excellent staff, spacious rooms and competitive price

The place was clean, the staff was very accommodating, and overall everything was great. Would definitely stay there again.
