The Samara is one of the most beautiful places that I have stayed. The views of the rice fields are so amazing and the pool is so clean and lovely. The staff are just beautiful, so accommodating, so helpful and so friendly! It’s about a 10min walk to get there from the Main Street but if you need the staff can drop you off and pick you up from the scooters. The room is cleaned daily, the breakfast is included and there is afternoon tea provided between 4-5pm. I will be looking forward to staying here again one day.

The position itself was beautiful, away from the busy Main Street. The staff were very accommodating in ferrying us to and from the Main Street on bikes. The villa was lovely but basic in amenities and a bit worn, ie mould on pool edges and borer eaten furniture. The two bedroom villa has an external staircase to upstairs which was tricky in the rain. We were disappointed that there was no restaurant or bar as advertised as were far from restaurants and they only offered Italian food delivery. Lovely position but not worth the $300 a night cost for these oversights.

ウブドの中心からかなり奥まったところにあり、道は徒歩かバイクでなければ通ることが出来ないところです。事前に口コミでチェックしましたが王宮まで徒歩7-8分どころの距離では無くまた途中高低差がかなりあります。 でも、バイクで送迎をしていただけることを利用すれば王宮近くまで3-4分ほどで着きます。 周辺は田んぼでとても静か、プールは小さいけどどの部屋からも近くて便利、朝食も美味しく頂きました。 このホテルのような仕様の所には以前何度も泊まったことが有り、バリ島仕様なのかと思え特別なところは無いと思いますが、ウブドの田んぼの雰囲気と静けさを味わいたい方、バイクの後ろに乗ることに抵抗が無い方にはお薦めします。

Excelente ambiente a un precio bajo.

El hotel es muy tranquilo, paisajes verdes, el personal muy servicial, su atención es increíble, , buenos desayunos, limpio, te ayudan alquilar la moto la cual es muy necesaria para tu desplazamiento , así que vía WhatsApp mejor avisar que tengan lista tu moto al llegar, porque esta muy bien ubicado, pero hay que caminar y hay una subida, por eso es mejor tener la moto y así estas super cerca del Palacio y sector comercial, ellos te recogen en un parqueadero que te envían la ubicación y suben tus maletas, también te las bajan, ya que donde esta el hotel solo puedes subir en Moto o caminando , los carros no pueden llegar, pero así hay muchos sectores en Ubud.

Interesting stay at The Samara, Ubud

Suggest you get firmer mattresses for the rooms. It was nice waking up to see much greenery. It was for me, an almost death-defying ride on the motor bike through the narrow paths each time! They go really fast! We didn't know that that was the only way to get to your hotel. Suggest the hotel install container boxes at the back of the motorbikes for their staff to hold the luggage of their guests. This is to ensure their safety and will provide guests the assurance that their luggage will not fall off the bike during transportation. We totally enjoyed the serenity and beautiful surroundings, it is back to nature for us. My daughter like the quietness. It was overall a memorable stay for the three of us.
