Alam Wayang Ubud - CHSE Certified

The location is great. Really close to main street where you can find restaurants, coffee shops and cute stores. The staff were very kind and always smiley. The room was fabulous - especially the bathroom with an outdoor shower.

The breakfast was for us personally not so good. You can choose one meal (usually eggs) and one drink. If you want coffee like capuccino or caffee latte you pay extra. It was a bit tasteless and every meal was pretty similar to other.

Perfection! This was our second stay. Very peaceful & chilled. The staff so friendly & helpful. The pool in our villa was heaven to come back to after being out exploring in the heat. The outdoor area was very spacious & great for relaxing. Great variety for breakfast, and all meals were delicious. Location is also perfect for us, just outside main town of busyness but lots of warungs & places to eat close by.

Absolutely nothing

- The location is nice, though it's in the small and narrow alley, they have the buggy car and can pick you up from the pick up point with no problem. - The staff are very nice and friendly, including the cat and dog they're so lovely. - The villa that we were staying is beautiful and enough for two persons, bath tub and bathroom is great.

- The air conditioner in the room was warm, not producing enough cold air as it should be. - The hairdryer has a very low airflow even though it was on the highest air flow mode (I have a very short hair and still find it hard to dry my hair)

Set in a beautiful, peaceful section of Ubud but still an easy walk to the centre. Very close to various really good eating options. Stunning tropical gardens offering complete privacy in the large well set out private villas. Staff are excellent! The main common areas are well kept and lots of nice features. Breakfast is YUM! Great massages onsite

Nothing!

The quietness but close to shops, cafes

Nothing

The room is great and very private. It is close to great restaurants. The staff was fantastic. The jewelry making class at the hotel was very fun.

The meals were delicious. The coffee was excellent as was the pineapple juices freshly made. It was nice that breakfast lunch and dinner were available.

Some of the lights in the bedroom weren’t working , so we only had bright lights above the bed which were too bright.

The room and the pool area was absolutely stunning. I loved the bathroom design, and sound insulation between rooms are generally quite good. The staff is also extremely friendly, which really made the overall experience great

A bit of practical information about the location and therefore the transport situation: the google maps location is NOT actually where the hotel is (look for Hastina by Alam Wayang Ubud on google maps for the actual location). Where the hotel actually is is not accessible by car, and while motorbikes can get there the location is quite hard to find on the map that motorbikes often get confused, and also it is a big detour to get back onto the main road, so we were rarely able to get transportation directly from the hotel entrance. The hotel offers buggie pick up at the google maps location, so you can do that and then travel to/from the drop off point, or we actually found it best to walk down to the bottom of the Penestanan Stairs (2-3min walk from hotel) and get a grab from there whenever we needed to travel. Although the steps are quite steep, so if you have mobility issues I would not recommend that. Also the traffic from there into central ubud is constantly VERY BAD, so it ends up taking a lot more time than you think it does to get into town. So overall, it is slightly annoying that there is just no straightforward transport options and it often took quite a long time to get to places in and around Ubud Also just a note that because the bathrooms are semi-open air, it is quite easy to get a few insects and bugs around the room (this is all understandable given we are in the jungles in Ubud but just a note that this comes with the outdoor bathroom design). Another small thing is that the bathroom doors are not fully opaque with no curtains / blinds, so in the morning the room is quite bright

The location was extremely quiet and close to a few restaurants and cafes

Limted sunbeds around the pool that get sun on them all day. Having to ask staff for a water refill.

Traditional Balinese rooms/resort Overall friendly and helpful staff Location was PERFECT as it is a short walk to Alchemy and lots of great cafes, 15 minute walk into central Ubud

The communication was a bit difficult with some of the staff and the food service was a bit unorganised at times. The staff were friendly but I do think they could level up on their service in some areas, the main receptionist seemed like she didn't want to be there. The rooms did have a musky smell but were clean, I guess that's common in older resorts in hot & humid environments. Overall I wasn't blown away by anything unfortunately!

Clean and spacious. This looks even better than pictures. Staff very friendly and helpfull.

Nothing

Property was lovely, very authentic feel with a touch of luxury. Staff were amazing. Food & drink was great value for money. Hot stone massage was divine!

Property was a taxi journey away from the main buzz of Ubud, but with grab taxis on hand no real hardship.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, beautiful rooms and pool. Amazing, helpful and friendly staff. Location was perfect

Our room was next to the carpark so a little noisy in the morning

The staff are amazing, nothing was to much trouble. They always had a smile. The resort is small, quiet and relaxing. The rooms were a good size, the beds were comfortable.

Comfy and clean.

You can’t drive up to the hotel have to get a buggy which is pretty long. If you walk down to the hotel it’s pretty long and steep

Stay at Villa Alam Wayang Ubud was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment I've arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles, refreshing drink, and impeccable hospitality. The villa was tucked away in a peaceful, lush jungle setting, yet only a 10-minute drive from central Ubud – the perfect balance of nature and convenience. The lush garden was a dream! Every morning I woke up to the sound of birds and enjoyed breakfast in the hotel's terrace admiring the surroundings. The room was beautifully designed – clean, spacious, and filled with natural light, yet giving you privacy when needed. The outdoor bathroom with a rain shower was a unique and luxurious touch. If you're looking for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat in Ubud, I can't recommend Alam Wayang enough. I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already planning my next visit!

It wasn't an inconvenience for me personally but keep in mind there is no direct access to the hotel by car. If you are arriving by taxi, you will be drop off at the so called "Cafe Alam Wayang" where a buggy will pick you up and bring you to the hotel. It's a literally 2 minutes ride in the middle of a beautiful forest and the service is available 24/7 (if buggy with a driver is not there you can call the reception and someone from the hotel will come to pick you up within few minutes).

The villa was amazing! Really comfortable rooms with great bathrooms and common area. It went well above our expectations! The staff was super friendly and we really enjoyed our time there. The restaurant food was also very nice. Very recommended

Very beautiful property

N/A

The outdoors including private pool & the tropical plantation was extremely beautiful. Service was 10/10 by everyone & special thanks to Vira.

To get out of the bedroom to get water from living room was inconvenient (maybe a flask / or bottle can be provided which can be filled up & kept on the side table).

I loved the rooms with a private yard. The staff was amazing. Food was delicious - great beef rendang. And the pool was so relaxing after a long day of siteseeing.

Loved everything.

Clean and modern rooms, a big pool and great affordable food. We absolute loved everything about this hotel! The staff was also very kind and helpful. Will definately return!

Highly recommend, beautiful place and service was excellent!

I loved the staff! They were really welcoming from the moment we got there. We got a welcome drink. Our room wasn’t ready but we went for a walk to the Ubud art market which is a 10-15 min walk. Our room was really nice, I loved the openness. You may find some lizards and ants here and there. But it was okay. Nothing harmful. The massage ladies are wonderful! Really recommend getting the traditional Balinese massage.

The only hassle we found was the location being a far bit of walk from the main area. But I think this was also a plus point because we heard no traffic or tourists during our stay. It was very peaceful.

This property is private, quiet and as beautiful as you can imagine. I loved this place and would return to Bali just to stay here. The staff and food were exceptional.

Loved everything about the place, the staff were amazing and organised things for me when I asked. The food and drinks were brilliant.

I didn't like how far this place was from everything else. To get dinner in Ubud I had to get a taxi.

The cleanliness The responsive staff

Washtafel is too small The limited choice of breakfast

The staff were lovely and the room was very clean. Breakfast was delicious too!

The rooms were a lot smaller than they looked online and the pool didn’t get much sun. All in all there were only c.6 sunbeds. The location is ok but it is quite a way away from the centre of Ubud (c.20 minute walk) and you probably wouldn’t want to walk there in the dark as it is not well lit at all.
