Luwak Ubud Villa & Jungle Suite

Calm surroundings, beautiful design and views, serenity around you. Nice breakfast selection. Swimming pool with a view.

None specifically. Mosquitos can be solved with special tool, so not a problem.

What a great choice we made to book our anniversary stay in this villa where Luwak made sure our stay was very special and celebrated. They did an out of this world setup on the bed and also flower arrangement in the jacuzzi for our anniversary…we cried tears of joy ❤️‍🔥. Aryan and Manik were especially very welcoming and supportive and always answered all our questions with soo much grace and smiles. This is a 100/10 place, way above and beyond as the villa itself is generously sized and very comfortable and stylish giving a true feel of the Bali culture with Bamboo, wood and baru colors. .

Everything g was amazing, just wish there was a door inside the living room for access to the second bedroom to make it easier to connect with our son.

The three bedroom villa was huge! Plenty of room, clean, comfortable villas. The pool was lovely and got plenty of use by our three kids. The included breakfast was delicious and set us up for a good day exploring, adventuring or just enjoying the villa. We liked that the villa was away from the busy Ubud centre and that there was a convenience store opposite the villa for snacks and other necessities. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially Arya who went out of his way to ensure we had the best stay, organising transfers, tours and anything we needed - thank you Arya! We did not want to return home - but hopefully we will be back to enjoy the villas again. A memorable holiday.

Nothing - the stay was perfect

Beautiful oasis in Ubud with the friendliest staff

Could have sun loungers by the pool

Our stay was absolutely perfect, from the private pool and comfortable beds to the excellent facilities. The restaurant served amazing food, and the cocktails were fantastic. The staff were always friendly and welcoming, with special thanks to Arya, Agung, and Dodi, who made our trip extra special with their advice, great conversations, and constant smiles. Their local knowledge helped us plan our days and make the most of our time. Having a personal driver when needed made everything so easy and seamless. The air-conditioning was also a lifesaver after long days in the sun. The location was perfect, close enough to the town but far enough that traffic wasn’t an issue when trying to sleep. The traffic going into town at peak did add extra time however with a scooter this can be beat. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we’ll definitely be back!

Nothing

Everything. It was a family favourite for our two weeks in Bali. Staff were incredible and breakfast was superb

Nothing. Perfect stay

Love that there was a restaurant that did breakfast, lunch and dinner. That was the main reason I booked as I had no idea what was in Ubud. First time in Ubud and Bali in general. Rooms and deco were fantastic. Staff were also fantastic and always happy to help.

Ran out of water one night while washing my hair and wasn’t fixed until the morning. Linen was a little bit dirty. Was also a little worried about cliff. The walk to and from the room. Also if the foundations were stable as the staff building on the opposite side didn’t look stable. I’m not sure how it happened but I closed the outside balcony door so that the mosquitoes wouldn’t go inside while getting my washing and got locked out on the balcony for 1hr 30min at about 10:30pm at tonight. I had left my phone and everything inside. I was yelling for help until someone in the room below me heard. A little scary as I was travelling alone, and the hotel is a little far away from reception and all other buildings. It also seemed quiet like there weren’t many people staying at the time that I was there. It might be worth putting a duress alarm on the balconies or similar. I thought I was going to be sleeping out there and no one would find me until housekeeping came in the next morning. I was meant to check out the next day but needed to leave early to catch a ferry.

Clean, beautiful, relaxing

Nothing

Small but boutique resort, fantastic in-house restaurant, delicious breakfasts overlooking the beautiful communal pool. Our villa was spacious, with a super comfy bed and gorgeous private pool to cool off after sightseeing and shopping. The most incredible bathroom, and fab outdoor lounge area. Arya the manager was so full of personality and the epitome of professional hospitality, whilst making us feel part of the family. Nothing was too much trouble for Arya and his team. We even had a Balinese dancers one night with a seafood BBQ dinner. Shuttle into centre quick and easy or just $5 to get dropped off any other time.

nothing

Clean, spacious, beautifully decorated. Staff were so helpful, even made us a breakfast box when we had to leave early in the morning.

The villa was next to the road so it was very noisy

The food was excellent and the staff extremely helpful. The kitchen was able to cater for gluten free food very well

If there were any minor problems they were dealt with swiftly

The villa itself was much bigger than expected. It was absolutely gorgeous.

The property had all we needed and more. First time we visited Bali and were welcomed with the hospitality you can only dream of. The Villa was out of this world. Each family member had their own room and everything was so open and refreshing. The staff (Especially Arya) went out of his way to accommodate us. He booked tours for us and was always available to arrange transport or whatever we needed. When we visit Bali again, this place will definitely be on our list of stays! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Literally nothing!

The villa’s are close to Ubud Centre ( Ubud palace / Art Market ) and they offer transport to the city centre. The three bedroom villa was very spacious, easily accommodating six people - great for a family ! The kitchen facilities are all there, great for in room dining - you can cook yourself, order room service or even order take out via Grab / Gojek ). The beds are comfortable, the pillows are devine ( I wish I could have kept one ! ) and omg the towels are so soft - even the pool towels. The private pool is beautiful and relaxing - my favourite place in the villa, pool chair and a book, there was nothing better ! And, the food at the restaurant was plentiful and very delicious - the beef burger was next level and our son ( 14 years old ) loved the pizza’s and pasta. The breakfast included was delicious, and the eggs cooked to order were perfect every time, try the vegetable omelet - it’s so good ! And, then there’s the staff - what can we say, they are more than friendly, they treat you like family. From the welcoming reception staff, to the restaurant staff, to the room attendants and maintenance staff, Ari and his team are there to make sure your stay is as relaxing … or as adventurous as you want. We wanted a relaxing stay at the villa’s and it was exactly what we had - a great villa, amazing staff who genuinely want to make your stay enjoyable, delicious food and a great pool - we can’t wait to be back ! Thank you Ari and your wonderful team, it was because of you our stay was more than we hoped for !

The showers were outside, which we loved with fish in the pond around the bath ( so peaceful and enjoyable to watch ) but the water pressure was a bit hit and miss and we had to call reception a couple of times to get it fixed … but when it was fixed, omg - it was absolutely devine ! Exactly what you hope for with an outside shower - so peaceful and relaxing !

Spectacular

Nothing

Absolutely nothing. Not what I expected, we had booked for three nights and we left one hour after check-in, which is how long it took me to find alternative accomodation.

The villa was disgusting. There was plasterboard falling from the ceiling, mould growing around the pavers and the pool. The shower was full of mould, with dirt smears all over the mirrors and the light switches. The floor boards in the bedrooms and main living area were spongy and unstable. The entrance had rubble that we had to step over upon arrival and the courtyard ponds were full of mosquitoes and the smell was dreadful. There were very old and brown dishcloths and sponges left at the kitchen sink which were left for us to use. Staff made absolutely no effort to resolve the issue, they had no other rooms available and did not agree to a refund as the manager was not onsite. I wish booking.com would let me share more photos and videos. 6 weeks and still no refund. Manager has ignored all correspondence from myself and from Booking.com

Room, restaurant, location

Minor maintenance required in garden and flooring

lavishly designed villas. the upkeep of the pool would make it a remarkable experience.

the common sitting area next to the pool needs to have some visual barriers as it looks into a rather unkempt part of the road alongside. additionally it will keep prying eyes away

Fab property. Staff were amazing. There is some building work being done currently but it didn’t bother us although could bother others. Looks like the building will be finished soon tho.

Mouse Poo under the pillows, dirty pool, bath seal broken and shower was broken, far away from everything so no one would deliver, WiFi didn't work, bed was hard and everything did not look like the pictures

Well, how do i start, on arrival at night, we were blown away by the beauty of the 2 bedroom villa we rented, the high ceiling, the imposing sculpture, the separate bedroom that meant privacy from my live in nanny. The villa itself is right next to the road which meant a very convenient 30 second walk to the mini mart. Staff were friendly and always asking for feedback on the breakfast and always trying to engage us. Breakfast was good, well presented and delicious. The fact breakfast and a complimentary 30 min massage was included meant it was great value for money.

I accidentally kicked a frog into the pool. The private pool was quite underwhelming, and not very well maintained. Yes, the water was clear and its ok for swimming. There's some weird suspended material in the water which i expect happens when the pool is not cleaned as regularly as its supposed to. And the broken underwater light, fix it please. It looks like an electrocution risk. Parts of the villa, when viewed in the day, also looked a little bit shoddy and could probably use a clean up and a new coat of paint (the ceiling in the toilet, paint it!) Insects are a problem, there are loads of ants on the table in the living room, which by the way hosts a couple of resident geckos that my toddler set her eyes on catching. But hey, its an open air villa in the middle of Ubud so we're gonna let that pass even though my little rascal got bitten by some insect five times in the face alone. The bedrooms were ok though, relatively insect free. Now for the kicker.... we spent the last day in agony after a 2.5hr spa session. Jamu+chilled sliced fruits = Bali Belly. I'm sure the nice masseuse ladies were not out there to poison us, and its entirely our fault for consuming those fruits which we were fully aware may host bacteria when sliced and chilled. And whats the deal with construction works right outside the spa? The hammering and grinding works outside is not symphony to a relaxing day at the spa. A better option during this period would be to offer the spa packages in room for the time being. All things said however, the villa generally is excellent value for money but could really shine if more effort is given to upkeep it to the highest standard.

Stylish decor, large living area. Lovely private pool.

The 3 rd bedroom is a bit small and has no mirror in the room and no ceiling fan.

The three bedroomed villa was everything we hoped it would be and more. The photos just don't do it justice, we were completely blown away when we arrived and this continued for the rest of the stay. Close enough to Ubud, but far enough away to avoid the traffic mayhem there. Customer Service was second to none. Everyone that we came across was helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast which was included was fabulous - ordered the evening before and delivered on time to the villa with a smile, and then cleared away for us. We also ate at the restaurant on the first night - lovely food, great value and a dance show, which required audience participation at the end, which was a nice touch. Any issues were dealt with immediately and we felt completely looked after. We took advantage of the massages that were included with our booking - again a nice addition to the booking. The staff also looked after me when I was unwell whilst out in Ubud, came to collect me and were concerned so took me to the local clinic for a check up and waited for me to be discharged. This was above and beyond and very much appreciated.

Minor points : Water pressure and temperature was an issue (we found this everywhere we stayed in Bali), it seemed intermittent, but a call to reception and this was quickly resolved for us. More loungers at the pool would be helpful - there were 5 of us and 2 loungers - again a minor point.

Amazing hospitality by all staff. Everyone was attentive and helpful. Of course Mr Arya was on a different level. He was extremely friendly and always making sure that we were comfortable. Can't wait to stay here again.

Luwak Estate was a beautiful, serene place to stay. The staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly, they made our first stay in Bali one to love and enjoy. The rooms were clean and well sized. The food was delicious and fresh. We couldn’t fault the place.

The team are awesome, we arrived late at night and they had us into the villa quickly

The villa is so spacious and big. All the staffs are friendly. I love the cozy ambiance and it’s so beautiful!

The furnitures were a bit run down. In serious need for a refurbish. Some of the spaces in the villa were not cleaned enough, especially the bathroom.

Friendly staff. Clean rooms

One time they had no bread for breakfast . To close to road (noisy traffic) and a lot of dogs in the neighborhood
