Wadari Ubud Retreat

Beautiful tranquil retreat from the noisiness of Ubud. Friendly staff, and as it is a small boutique hotel, a family feel to it. The facilities were really good; my deluxe room was spacious, clean with a kitchenette included and a lovely bathroom. Also there was a glorious view onto the rice fields, and a lovely area where we could sit in the swimming pool area. The restaurant was by the front desk, and the food was good, though for dinner two of the nights I went to a very good restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. I had an excellent massage and there were books in a library area to read.

The staff is amazing. 10 Pointe. For our very special needs the location is superb. For a typical Ubud visitor without private car / motorbike it might be not really convinient. Nearby is only Ruesters. A place for starlets and all these persons, want to spoiled with nothing than the illusion, to be impiortant or special. We cant recommend Ruesters, but there is nothing else really in reach from the hotel, if you are not mobile.

Wadari is a beautiful hotel next to some peaceful rice fields. It is the most welcoming and friendly hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The chefs and staff were super helpful with our vegan diet and accommodated with kind gestures like swapping out eggs for tempeh and cooking separate vegan dishes for us when they were busy preparing a barbecue dinner for all the other hotel guests. And we can’t thank the front desk boy enough for helping us with the taxi ordering and trip suggestions. For folks who want to keep some distance from the busy Ubud city center, this hotel would be an excellent choice. If you are lucky, you might get to meet Bob, a lovely and playful dog from their neighbor’s house.

Wadari Resort is a beautiful and welcoming sanctuary, located close to Ubud while tucked away from the hustle and bustle. The staff made us feel welcome and like we were part of their family. The owner joined came and spoke with us during breakfast one morning and we got to learn about the origins of the resort, the challenges they've faced during and ongoing with COVID, and his values... he's kept all staff on despite having to close for two years after only being open one!! You can tell the staff love to be there and are proud of the accommodation and service they offer. All of the rooms and facilities including the pool are very clean, tidy, well maintained and excellent value for money. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and the balconies were genuinely private with wonderful views of the rice paddies and as far as My Batur. The food is beautifully prepared and delicious and the setting of the restaurant is intimate right on the paddies and next to the pool, so a lovely place to dine. The bamboo architecture makes it really special. We ate breakfast there every day of our five-night stay and dinner twice (were out and about the other nights). We highly recommend to others and will happily return ourselves. We would recommend hiring a scooter to make the most of what the region has on offer - we hired from Bali Motion - see my other review.

The hotel chef is exceptionally skilled. The food was excellent and the menu had a large variety of delicious dishes to try. Sometimes there were days with even more special foods to try which was amazing. The hotel looks beautiful and the excellent location provides fantastic views of the rice terraces. The staff were wonderful. Special thanks to Dita and Gede for being so attentive and welcoming to us. They even kept our luggage for us when we went on a short trip to Nusa Penida. Sometimes during breakfast, we had the pleasure of speaking with the owner himself who invited us to hotel events such as Jazz night and Barbecue evening. As the cherry on top, the hotel also has a fantastic spa which we absolutely loved.
