Reviews of BUDA AMITABA

Great location in a peaceful village & within walking distance to Ubud town centre along a walking & motorbike-only path outside the Monkey Forest fence. Lovely local vibe, lots of cafes, restaurants & businesses (spas, clothes, decor) close by the hotel which is located up a quote lane way. Comfortable small hotel (6 rooms), large room, good storage, large bathroom, pleasant outlook, nice pool & gardens, very clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Able to use the reception fridge if required. Could request extra towels etc. Very enjoyable 5-night stay.

The pool was given a superchlorination after our first few days there and smelled too chemical to use, with chlorine granules evident throughout the pool, Before that the pool was perfect. I understand cleaning is required however there was no signage or information provided about the chlorine level & any risk. A small fridge would be nice.

Location, friendly, helpful staff, quiet, close to the city centre but away behind the monkey forest with a shortcut track through. Great food close by.

Chlorine pellets visible in the pool weren’t dissolved.

It was small, peaceful, great location and very friendly staff.

Only thing missing a a small fridge in the rooms.

Super cozy, cute and quiet

It is a small building with 6 rooms, very quiet and beautiful - everything was really perfect. Our room was big and next to the pool. The staff was always super helpful, they cleaned the room upon request and it was the cleanest room I've ever stained in. The position was also great, it is in a quiet area but at the same time very close to many nice restaurants and cafes. I would definitely come here again and I really recommend this place for your stay in Ubud!

away from the crowded streets of Ubud. Very nice staff.

Unfortunately there was a lot of light coming into my room from the outdoor lamps. The curtains were too thin to block it, and I ended up having to use the eye mask provided by the airline. Not a very comfortable situation,but impossible to sleep otherwise.

The staff are super nice. The location is amazing. Great neighborhood, lots to do, the hotel is about 2 minutes walk from the main street. So, really close, but you don't hear the noise from the road. The pool is nice sized. I stayed on the 2nd and 3rt floor. Both have amazing view. I would definitely come back.

In one of the rooms the bed was too soft to my taste. But that's very individually.

Really well maintained property with lovely little touches everywhere. It’s in such a quiet area, but has everything you would need within a few minutes walk. The owner Ayu, and Julian who keeps the place looking very clean and tidy were helpful without being intrusive. I loved staying here.

No water refills.

The location was great and staff were amazing! So close walking distance to shopping, food and monkey forest

This would have got 10/10 if the bed was comfy! Was slightly to hard and the neighborhood rooster and dog liked to wake us early haha but otherwise Great!

The place looks nice and the location is good.

The rooms downstairs are too humid to stay in. Sure, more places in Bali struggle with this, but at Buda Amitaba it was another level. I know from previous experience that at such a level it affects your health (throath) as well as your clothes and bags will smell afterwards. This only seems to concern the rooms at ground floor. I had read about it in other reviews and therefore asked for a room where it would not be damp. The property indicated they could not guarantee it. That was not very encouraging and since I had to work on a project with a deadline I didn't want to take the risk and ask them to cancel my reservation (soon after booking). They replied that booking.com would not allow it, but the screenshot clearly indicated that they had to get in touch with booking.com. I told them, but I never received another reply. So, I took my chances and checked in the next day, but the room was too humid, like in some of the reviews. I was offered the option of paying for an upgrade to a family room, but that didn't feel right, since it concerned the lack of a basic feature. Hence, I didn't accept the room, left and contacted booking.com. The property ignored all communication from customer service until this day, so booking.com resolved it accordingly. Bottom line: The place looks nice and I'm sure the rooms upstairs are pleasant to stay in. But there is a total lack of responsibility e.g. for bringing in a dehumidifier after receiving feedback from guests and childishly ignoring a dispute with a client who tried to cancel prior to staying while still taking money. This is very different from anything I've experienced in Bali, where dozens of hosts all have been kind and honest.

Leafy, Quiet, Nice pool, friendly staff and great location

Faint smell of tobacco- perhaps from street

I love Buda Amitaba's location. It's in the Nyuh Kuning area, close to great cafes and restaurants. The neighborhood is walkable and super nice. The room that I rented was very spacious and clean, a great value for money.

I wish the rooms had bigger kettles and more drinking water. The three small bottles they provide is very little for drinking.

Very rustic property feels culturally rich. It’s very clean. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. No breakfast included (it’s mentioned during booking) but there were a few places around (we faced difficulty one day mostly because we went during a public holiday and places were shut)

I was surprised that there was no tv or iron in the room. Swimming pool is not pretty swimmable but good and clean for chilling.

Beautiful garden and comfortable room, authentic atmosphere, friendly staff.

Lack of fridge

Very sweet, old-school Bali-feeling property with a contemporary twist.

I love Buda Amitaba - it is quintessentially Balinese in a wonderful location.
