Komaneka at Bisma

We stayed at this hotel for six nights and was the perfect relaxing base to explore Ubud and the surrounding areas. The hotel is truly stunning and was such a quiet sanctuary of luxury to return to after sightseeing. I won’t name specific staff members, as everyone was impeccable from reception, restaurant staff, cleaners and garden team. They knew our names from the first day and were always so friendly, polite and professional. Our room was stunning with views over the jungle. So many amazing touches as well from unlimited waters for your room, cookie jars, complimentary insect repellant and hand sanitiser, a turn down service with different stories each evening on your bed which was a lovely touch. The food was delicious and loved our breakfast here every morning along with lunch by the pool. Great gym as well. The location is excellent for seeing all the sites and some lovely restaurants and shops are just a few minutes walk away. Taxis here are inexpensive so it’s very easy to explore further afield for a day trip to rice fields, coffee plantations, and waterfalls. It is a very peaceful and tranquil hotel and tastefully decorated throughout. ‘Quiet luxury’ is how I would sum it up. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this hotel for your visit to Ubud!

This Hotel and the staff make this place outstanding. I did not want to leave. The staff are a cut above. A member of staff changed and time in one of the shops. This is service above and beyond. This is one of my favourites over the last 20 plus years of travel. I’d go back for sure. The rooms are amazing. The staff are amazing. The location is convenient. The spa is superb.

Had to get away from the noise at our hotel in Tanjung Benoa (see my review of Conrad Bali) and chose the Komaneka based on its location. Have visited Ubud since 2006 on our yearly trips to Bali and knew what to expect in terms of location. All fellow travelers on this forum are absolutely right: this hotel is exceptional! Had a lovely welcome and check-in by Ms Mie and the excellent Front Office Manager, the twin-bedded room was lovely and exceptionally clean with clean, white towels (not always the case in Bali even in better hotels!), the team were brilliant, and the breakfast room & breakfast were a pleasure. It's a good idea to have some items on a buffet (e.g. fruit) at breakfast since it takes some time to get your coffee and place the order for your hot breakfast; the breakfast got busy with all tables occupied between 9 and 10 a.m. The breakfast team were lovely and really wanted you to have a great breakfast experience - they did a great job. So many thanks to the other guests at Komaneka breakfast as well: they respected the peace & quiet of the place as well as other guests and ensured a lovely breakfast experience for everybody. Loved the peaceful and uplifting surroundings and the view from the balcony, yet so close to everything if needed. Just the sounds of nature when sitting on the balcony upon sunset - wish it never ended!

We really loved our stay at Komaneka at Bisma. The location couldn’t be better – peaceful and quiet with beautiful views over the rice fields, yet as soon as you step out the gate, you’re right in the middle of Ubud’s hustle and bustle. That’s such a big plus, because getting around Ubud by car can be slow and frustrating with all the traffic. The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome straight away. The pool was fantastic, right on the edge of the rice fields – a great place to relax after a day out. And the beds… honestly, some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. For us, it was the perfect mix of calm, comfort, and convenience. We don't need to think twice where we will stay the next time we are in Ubud.

This resort is in the heart of Ubud but down a long driveway and has spacious grounds so you feel very separated from the crowds in town. Absolutely beautiful grounds w rice paddies and beautiful foliage. I need to say we booked our trip w US travel company for whole 14 d and I don’t know how much each hotel cost individually. We had a lovely room which I think is maybe a basic level. It has huge bathroom space w separate shower and tub and toilet. It has sitting area also which is very nice to have. Lovely balcony overlooking back of hotel/rice paddies. Our young adult children had room beside ours accessible to ours via patio. The included bfast was amazing. Buffet items w fruit, fruit juice, fancy pastries and bread and yogurt. Then there is also a 15-20 item hot bfast menu and the food is very good. It keeps you full for a long time! The hotel staff is amazingly courteous. We ordered room service once and they called back because I was listed as vegetarian and one item for other family member had chicken and eggs so they wanted to clarify. The room service was not expensive—maybe $10 per meal at max. We also had massages. Two of us had 90min and one had 60. The massages themselves were wonderful! (And I get massages regularly in US). The massage rooms are individual huts that are open air to the back of the property where there is a creek running. The cost for 3 was $240! In the US it could have easily been $300 for 90 min and the beautiful setting. Be aware that Ubud has become so crowded. Streets are narrow, often no sidewalks. Crazy packed traffic could literally take 20 min to drive 2km in main town to get to hotel at dinner/evening. Streets are old pattern and don’t connect through to others easily and topography (streams and such) make the roads have to work around these. Glass bottles of water provided daily and hotel cooks w filtered water. Snacks and some fruit in room and few soft drinks provided at check in time. Ice delivered daily. Room cleaned twice a day.
