Bhanuswari Resort & Spa

Friendly staff and free transportation to Ubud. Very reasonable transportation to and from the airport. Food was cooked to order and excellent.

I have spent 5 days at the Bhanuswari resort...and:Good points- very good and smiling staff- quite and peaceful place- comfortable bed- hot water all the time- good body massage at a competitive ratesBad points- Room features not as advertised!!..for example:- INTERNET!!!unless your room is close to the reception you will struggle to get internet to work; I went to the reception twice to let them know and the first time the receptionist told me that the cable might have some problem(Wireless connection....), the second time(the day after) the same receptionist told me I had to go close to the reception to get internet (?!?!);Considering the fact that this resort is 6-7 km from Ubud, a good internet connection is necessary so you can plan, seek and book whatever thing you want to do, from tours to restaurants. - TV cable did not work!I simply could not watch anything...

No safety deposit box in room but one at reception. Shower drain blocked but they fixed it immefiately.

Hotel is not well maintained, cupboard was smelly with a dead lizard. Hot water works sporadically, no toothbrush or toothpaste are provided either. Have to continually combat ants in the room, flies along corridor and stair landing. Staff service is generally warm but lacks consistency. Towel and tissues are not replaced on certain days. Photos shown on web do not tally with actual hotel conditions. Overall 2/5. Will not return.

The resort is far away from town area, not convenient to search for food. The toilet is big but the toilet flush broken in my last day of stay. I don't like the toilet has big windows but no curtain, people can see through from outside, need to be careful when you take shower as there maybe people peeping you. The wardrobe inside is full of dust, it seems like the cleaner never clean it for quite some time.

Really nice staff. The hotel is outside of Ubud, so nice and quiet. Had a great view of rice fields. The restaurant was nice and had a good variety. Would definitely recommend.

We was very happy with our stay in September 2014. Staff was very helpfull, beautiful location and quality of service was great!

Stayed for two nights. The room was quite basic compared to other hotels for the rate, but the environmental surroundings are really lovely and there wasn't much time spent in the rooms. I found the bathroom to be a bit dark and a hanging rod wasn't screwed into into the bathroom wall properly and fell off. The staff were very helpful and the shuttle service they offer is great. The pools were nice and it's a great escape from the busy city.

The resort must have been really wonderful when it was new and when the staff was motivated. Now the bathroom smelled mouldy, the water feature did not run and was falling apart, the phone did not work, the staff did forget us several times at the dining or breakfast table, left as soon as possible.

Firstly come here if you're looking for a quiet & relaxing getaway next to nature. It is not located near to the center of Ubud (20+ mins drive by hotel free shuttle service) so be prepared for this. The rooms are OK (7/10), breakfast is surprisingly fantastic and you get free transport to Ubud & back to the hotel. It is right next to rice fields and nearby villages within bicycle distance.

Had quite a good stay at this hotel. Very cheap (under 50 nzd or 45 usd) and the hotel provided all the basics. Really good breakfast.

We had two nights at the resort and found the place a fantastic immersion in the Balinese culture. The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff is very friendly. The pool was just the best: it feels like being in the middle of the rice fields. This hotel was a little isolated but there is a free shuttle available anytime to Ubud centre.

Clean friendly, great swimming pools, free shuttle to town, nice restaurant too.

Aircon is not working, bedding smells but room pretty clean and too far from town.Airport shuttle was messed up, got picked up and had to wait an hour in the van while they were waiting to collect other passengers without letting you know. Rubbish services, hotel food was awful too

the hotel was about 20 minutes drive to Ubud centre but the free shuttle service was very good. we stayed far as possible from the entry in the older rooms because there was a lot of working noise near the lobby from construction work. the room was okay and comfortable but there was a big gekko in our room which made a lot of noise every hour so we changed to the new building. the room there was less comfortable and the surrounding area was not a garden yet.

While the hotel itself is set in a very nice area with lots of evening sounds, like frogs and insects, I found the manager to be a bit brusque, for example expressing disapproval when we turned down his invitation for their New Year's Eve gala (at $75 per person). Also, the room we were assigned was below the dining area, so the noise from the wooden chairs scraping the floor above was a little unnerving. To be fair, the staff did allow us to change rooms when we complained. The breakfast buffet was mediocre, but was actually to be expected considering the cost of the stay and the season. Other than these drawbacks, things were good. There was a shuttle van that brought us to the center of town whenever we wanted it. In addition, the scenery from the hotel was very nice with lots of greenery and the air smelled very fresh. The rooms and the hotel were pretty clean, and I don't recall seeing any uncomely insects. Overall, for the price, the hotel was worth it.

The staff was friendly & accomodating. The owner personally drove us around to great local places, and acted as our tour guide. They're breakfast is amazing!...free :)
