From the vantage point of your private terrace, it would seem that Komaneka at Monkey Forest is a secluded retreat deep into the jungles of Indonesia. Not so: The colorful cafés and cultural institutions that put Ubud on the map are just a few minutes down Monkey Forest Road. This is a resort that encompasses the best of both worlds. Spacious villas combine marble, hardwoods, and rich Balinese fabrics for an artfully distinguished ambiance set against a backdrop of palms. Spa treatments call upon local healing arts that have been passed down for generations.

From the moment we arrived at Komaneka at Monkey Forest, we felt genuinely cared for. Every team member was notably kind and attentive. They consistently went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Their warmth and ongoing concern for our comfort made us feel completely at home. The hotel is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by lush greenery that creates a calm and intimate atmosphere right in the heart of Ubud. Everything is immaculate and beautifully maintained, from the public areas to the smallest corners of the rooms. Speaking of rooms, they are spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. If I had to find one thing to comment on, it would be the shower pressure. It’s on the gentle side—not that I was expecting “Command 450” level power (Seinfeld fans will get that). But honestly, it’s a minor detail in an otherwise wonderful experience. We also booked a private excursion through the hotel and spent the day with Ari, who was fantastic. His friendliness, deep knowledge of Balinese culture, and thoughtful attention to our comfort made the tour one of the highlights of our stay. Ari didn’t just show us places; he helped us understand them. The breakfast is simple but made with quality ingredients. The pool area, while not large, is delightful—peaceful, well-kept, and surrounded by greenery. Every detail of the property shows care and pride in its maintenance. Overall, Komaneka at Monkey Forest perfectly combines comfort, nature, and Balinese hospitality. It’s ideally located, impeccably clean, and run by people who truly love what they do. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Ubud.

Had a wonderful 4 night stay at the komaneka hotel, when you left the hotel felt like you were in the middle of ubud, friendly and helpful staff, breakfast was excellent and room was cleaned by time we finished breakfast. Can’t fault our stay

Stepping into the Komaneka at Monkey Forest Hotel is like entering a peaceful oasis in the midst of Ubud’s hustle and bustle. The hotel is conveniently located right in the centre of Ubud, so it’s easy to walk around the city, and many attractions are just 15–20 minutes away on foot. Our room, although it didn’t have great views, was spacious, charming and very comfortable. The bathroom, with both a shower and a bathtub, was even larger. At breakfast, there was a small buffet along with a menu to order from, and the food was very good. The highlights of our stay were the exceptionally kind staff who exceeded our expectations, a deliciouos dinner with Balinese dance (extra cost), yoga lessons, afternoon tea, and a wonderful spa experience with a great massage. The pool area feels like being in a jungle. While other reviews have mentioned that there are not many sunbeds, most guests seem to spend their days sightseeing, so there was always space available, at least that was our experience.

Our stay at Komaneka at Monkey Forest was truly amazing, and it’s the staff that make this place so special. Every single member of the team is a real credit to Komaneka – they were incredibly friendly, professional, and welcoming. What stood out most was how every staff member remembered our names and greeted us warmly each time we saw them. Nothing was ever too much trouble; they genuinely went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Our suite was lovely – spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with excellent air conditioning that was a lifesaver in the Bali heat and humidity. The location is fantastic too: right in the heart of Ubud, surrounded by bars, shops, and restaurants, and only a short ten-minute walk to the famous Monkey Forest, which is a must-see. The food was lovely, we had breakfast every morning which they brought to our suite on request, we had lunch in the restaurant and it was so tasty. We honestly couldn’t fault anything. This hotel exceeded all our expectations, and we’re already planning our next trip back to Bali – we’ll definitely be staying here again!
