A few day stay on a long trip.

I dont think i could write enough. The staff were all extremely welcoming and always asking if everything was ok. Everyone knew our names and it was great to have that home feeling especially travelling with a less than 2yr old on such a long trip. The hotel is very well kept and you will even catch the groundskeeper sweeping up leaves each morning to keep a fresh look. You might catch the monkeys in the afternoon from the pool just make sure you have all of your things securely put away, the staff will make sure you are aware of this as monkeys dont listen. I give this hotel a top rank in my books as the staff aim to please, are very helpful, and will do everything they can to make sure you have what you need and enjoy your stay. We would definitely come here again.

From the moment Ari met us at the airport with cold towels, icy cold water and cookies, we knew we were headed somewhere special and we weren’t disappointed. This amazing gem of a resort is so conveniently located in central Ubud but walk down the driveway to be greeted by name and you step into an oasis of calm. Exceptional service, lovely suites and absolutely gorgeous gardens. This is not some large, flashy new resort and thank goodness for that. This is the real Bali and we felt privileged to call Komaneka home for our 2 week stay. Thank you to all at Komaneka at Monkey Forest, we will be back!

In Ubud look no further this is your place!

Most amazing honeymoon experience. Everything 10/10!!!

Amazing hotel

The best hotel in Bali - most wonderful staff will always stay here.

Great location, beautiful gardens

What a beautiful property. We loved everything about our stay. The staff, the room, the view over the rice terrace. The restaurant served amazing food, we didn't want to leave. The position in Ubud on Monkey Forest road is the best. We usually stay a bit further down towards the forest but will be coming back here next time. Loved it all.

Outstanding!

all good

Very relaxing

Great service in a very relaxing hotel. The spa was wonderful and the food in the restaurant was excellent too. My suite was laid out perfectly and a very comfortable stay

The staff were so incredibly kind and helpful. Hotel located near the best restaurants and although near a busy street once inside the hotel it was completely quiet!

Amazing honeymoon hotel!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was INCREDIBLE! This was the nicest hotel we've ever stayed in, not just because of the beautiful villa in the jungle with its own room, but because of the amazing people who work here (especially Ade at the front desk). Every time we walked in, they knew us by name, and were so kind to us! They even remembered I was a vegetarian every morning at breakfast. The room was beautiful, we loved the included breakfast, and the afternoon tea time, and we were so sad to leave! Would recommend this to everyone, and would definitely stay here if we ever came back!

A peaceful haven in the heart of ubud. The staff were kind, friendly and attentive. The room was very clean, with a large balcony and spacious bathroom. Lovely spa with an excellent massage. Well kept surrounding grounds providing a quiet space from the bustling streets which are conveniently just on the doorstep of the hotel. Food was excellent in the restaurant.

This property is the most beautiful in Ubud. The property is well maintained with a peaceful environment. The food is excellent as well amenities provided The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to ensure your comfort. I will be staying here the next time I am visiting Ubud and would recommended this property to anyone

Loved the room; it was spacious and Balinese design. The staff was gracious and very service oriented. This was my absolute favorite hotel stay(even compared to a much higher priced hotel we also stayed at on the beach, Hyatt at Sanur). This hotel is a gem!

Beautiful room, amazing team

The suite was fantastic. We really loved the private pool, rain shower, and bathtub. It has mosquito netting all around the bed. The service was top-notch with Ade and Ari looking after us. Ade actually helped us replan our itinerary and connected us to a great private driver called Tutna. We loved our stay and would definitely come back.

What an incredible place to stay, right in the heart of Ubud but you feel like you’re out in the country. The room was perfect and comfortable, the food at the restaurant was amazing, we had wonderful massages in a serene setting by the rice field, the pool was beautiful with monkeys in the trees, and the staff could not have been more friendly. I hope I’m fortunate enough to return one day.

The staff was extremely accommodating. They answered all questions about procuring 2 cars to transport 5 people from airport to Ubud which took 1.5 hrs in traffic

Loved the oasis of quiet right next to the heart of Ubud. It also had the biggest private bathroom I have ever used, and also a nice big bedroom. The breakfast was tasty, delivered quickly, and again in a small, quiet location.

My friends and I spent 6 nights at this property and loved every minute of it! The hotel is in the center of Ubud, a great location to visit other sites in and near Ubud, on foot or by car. Numerous taxis were available. The grounds are beautifully maintained. My room was spacious, clean, and lovely. I appreciated the free bottles of water provided. The staff was exceptional. They greeted me and my friends by name every time they saw us. They made us feel so welcome. I went to the spa for a wonderful massage. I went to the pool every day and marveled at how beautiful the surroundings were. The food in the restaurant on the property and the food served at the pool was delicious! I also enjoyed the soothing background music at dinner. And all of this at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend this property!!

Outstanding hotel

We had an excellent stay and would stay there again. Service was wonderful. Room gorgeous, food excellent and setting bucolic. Excellent location midway between Monkey Forest and town center.

One of the best boutique hotels I've ever stayed in. Would go back there again in a heart beat, and again and again

Beautiful property and rooms, wonderful staff, great location. What more could you want? Just a delightful place to stay.

Great, quiet spot in the centre of Ubud, a hidden gem. Staff are lovely rooms are clean and spacious.

Awesome staff!

Best spot to stay in Ubud

Wonderful hotel and amazing staff. Have been to Komaneka many times and will continue to return. Best spot to stay when in Ubud, quiet yet in the very centre, many restaurants and shops as soon as you exit the property. Rooms a luxurious and spotless. The staff are the best, wonderful and make you feel like family. Couldn’t recommend more.

Wonderful people serving in this boutique hotel

Boutique hotel in the midst of city like area with bars, shops and cafes. Not much greenery which might high behind properties. Horrid traffic! But oasis in its midst is this hotel. People make the place. Each one is wonderful.

1000 stars for this hotel and its staff

If I could give this hotel 1000 stars I would. What a beautiful property and even more beautiful staff. There was not a single employee that didn’t say good morning, afternoon, etc, no matter how many times we would cross paths. The check in was amazing, they explained everything about the property and even gave us a tour of it. A hand written note by the staff members was left at our room alongside rose petals for my wife and me on top of the mattress. Pool was fabulous and we even saw monkeys around it (watch your stuffs while in the pool), monkeys will get them. Hotel was located next to a bunch of restaurants, souvenir stores and 5 minutes away from the Monkey Forrest.

Very nice hotel in the centre of Ubud, but far enough back from the road, so no traffic noise at all. Friendly staff and lovely tropical gardens. Breakfast was nice enough, but could do with some daily specials or a bit of variety. Very comfortable room (and bed). Recommended.

This is a wonderful property with staff to match. It is centrally located in Ubud but set back from the road so it feels very peaceful. The pool is excellent overlooking the forest and the rooms beautifully furnished. The staff are all excellent, they could arrange everything I needed for my stay and were friendly and charming without ever being intrusive. This really made me feel at home.

Heaven

Absolutely magical. A peaceful tropical paradise just steps away from all the shops, restaurants and temples of Ubud. We couldn't have asked for a lovelier stay.

Friendly and helpful staff and services! Remember each individual guest by name. 👍

Calm atmosphere. Staff made us feel very welcome. Beautiful gardens. Amazing room.

Hidden Gem

Best hidden gem in UBUD

Staying at Komaneka has been the absolute highlight of our trip to Bali. First of all, fantastic location! We loved the personalised and tailored staff service. The property and surroundings are gorgeous but we were even more amazed by our room. It was clean, spacious and homely with a beautiful view. We’ll definitely return to Komaneka on our next trip to Bali!!

Highly recommend

The most wonderful place to stay in Ubud. The service provided by the staff is exceptional. Highly recommend to anyone wanting pure luxury in the centre of Ubud.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. Hotel is in a great spot. We stayed in private villa which was incredibly relaxing and really made our trip.

The property is a tropical oasis in the middle of a bustling city. You can walk to shops and dining. This is truly a hidden gem. The staff are fabulous, warm and welcoming. Our private villa was awesome! We had monkeys visit us on our balcony! We would undoubtedly return to this hotel!

This is the best place ever! We felt so at home and the staff is so warm and welcoming and accommodating. The facility is prestige, amazing breakfast and relaxing pool.

사랑과 여유와 행복이 공존하는곳 매우 친절합니다

Exceptional service!

Service was exceptional and we felt welcome right from the beginning. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing!

Just amazeballs!

Each suite is unique. A wonderful property. Everyone will love it💗. So is the staff. They genuinely want to please you and not just because it is a job. My first time encountering that kind of service.

Bali soul & comfort

Incredible stay at Komaneka monkey forest ! It exceeded our expectations & we would have stayed longer if we could. The staff are extremely kind friendly and provide a warmth and personal touch to your stay. Beautiful serene and calm grounds & stunning jungle infinity pool ! Our favourite stay - thank you !! ❤️

We had a wonderful time at the Komaneka. The hotel is just beautiful and the food is fantastic, but it was the warmth of the staff that made it such a memorable stay. Thank you for such a lovely holiday!

Beautiful property located in the middle of Ubud, but you wouldn't know it because it's set back in a very peaceful area down a long driveway. Everyone who works at Komenaka is very friendly, and they go out of their way to make you feel like you are staying in a friend's home and not a resort. My room was beautiful and spacious. The spa services and food were both fantastic and well worth the value. I was very happy with my stay!

Location, Location, Location

Very nice hotel near the Monkey Forrest On great street to walk and shop with great options for food and shopping.

We loved Komaneka Monkey Forest! The staff were all really friendly & helpful, the food was great, and our room was amazing, with a private pool backing onto the jungle. We also loved the indoor/outdoor bathroom. Very luxurious! The room was really quiet & peaceful as the property is set back from the bustling streets of Ubud, but still in close walking distance to everything.

We had the most amazing experience at Komaneka Monkey Forest. The staff was incredibly friendly, responsive, and accommodating. They were patient with all of our questions, provided information when we needed it and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Our spa experience left us at a loss for words. We felt totally spoiled and pampered. The breakfasts were delightful as well. Lots of options for us vegetarians, both western and local food. It’s in the heart of Ubud so you feel immersed in the culture as well. We would highly recommend this hotel and easily stay here again

The property was beautiful the only down fall was that our pool villa did not get sun around the pool and deck chairs. We love sun baking privately but this did not allow for it. The staff were all happy smiling friendly people and very helpful.

I really like the location in Ubud, it is clean and the room condition is very good. I would like to stay if I go again next time.

I’d give this a 10 star if it were possible!! As someone who travels extensively this place was a wow - location was perfect - in the heart of Ubud yet absolute tranquility! Never met a more authentically friendly team!

Incredible and friendly service by the staff. Made it an absolute pleasure to stay there. Would definitely visit again.

Beauty and tranquility. A hidden jewel. Not to be missed.

Great location,, very attentive to a food allergy and travel plans. loved my stay here.

Loved the manicured landscape as u walk to your villa. Service is impeccable! Just wish some more water pressure for the rain shower.

This is the friendliest staff I have ever experienced. The waitress wrote out translations to words on our first night. Our room was perfect and the hotel was in a perfect location to walk everywhere

Great location and the staff were so lovely, helpful and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic luxury getaway

My 8th time back - this is a wonderful luxury hotel with the most lovely friendly staff. Will be back again soon!

Everyone was super helpful. The hotel was calm and quiet and very relaxing.

The staff at Komaneka are warm and friendly. Everything has been carefully thought out to make your stay comfortable. I have come to komaneka many times and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

Amazing!

It was so amazing! The staff was so friendly and addressed me by name every time they saw me! It was an amazing experience!

Stay here!

I highly recommend staying at Komaneka Monkey Forest. The location was awesome and I have never experienced the level of kindness and customer service from the staff at any hotel that I experienced staying at Komaneka. We were so impressed with every staff member we came across and will definitely be back. The room was very nice and clean and it was so nice that they always made sure we had a boxed breakfast to take with us when we left very early morning for our tours. My best hotel experience ever!

Paradise in Bali

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Rooms are spectacular with private infinity pool , huge bathroom with indoor and outdoor shower and giant free standing tub. Breakfast is super yummy and so is dinner. Staff is the very best. Very warm and welcoming, catering to whatever you need- transport in the area, booking excursions- anything. Views from everywhere are beautiful- ocean, rice fields , jungle. Best hotel we have ever stayed in. Can’t wait to come back with my family.

Very friendly staff especially Ayu and Arya, great location

Lovely grounds, wonderful staff, very relaxing. Highly recommend!

Disappointed

Never again!

Wonderful stay!

It was a wonderful stay! Perfect location, cozy and intimate little hotel with only 22 rooms. The room we booked was definitely not small though! It is quite a bit bigger than what it looks on line. The staffs greet you by name coming and going. Even though this hotel is small, Komaneka is actually a chain hotel with five locations so far and not a mom and pop operation. It is very well run. Our package include a cook-to-order breakfast and an afternoon tea. They also have 24 hours room service. There are numerous restaurants and shops close by. The hotel can book transportation for you too. You can walk to the Monkey Forest turning left and to the Palace for dance performance turning right. There is a Monkey Forest shuttle going around too if you don’t want to walk. We did not try the shuttle since the traffic gets a bit busy and Monkey Forest road is one way. It’s probably faster just walk. I especially want to give a shout out to Dewi. She could not do enough for us and was so so sweet! This little hotel made our Ubud visit even more wonderful!

We had an amazing stay. Friendly and courteous staff who always went above and beyond. Accommodations were spacious and clean. Centrally located in Ubud made for easy access to to local and distant sites. Breakfast was amazing and a great way to start. If you ask for it, they will make it happen. So hard to leave such a wonderful staff. Looking forward to our return.

From the moment you enter the property from the busy street and central location, you are welcomed home to a beautiful serene setting. All of the staff are extremely pleasant and wanting to attend to your wants or needs. we were there 6 days and would highly recommend it for your stay in Ubud.

Amazing service, greeted by such joyous and accommodating staff. Made to feel like part of a family, and being addressed by courteous individuals. I would readily come back and recommend family and friends to stay at this location.

We couldn’t fault in any way. Staff were brilliant, food great.

Very artistically designed. Appreciate the little touches such as reading materials on art and culture of Bali. Also appreciated how much they care about their employees. Not only they have booklets describing old employees, but several employees described how they have been trained over the years to rise in ranks.

Fantastic stay - definitely worth paying for the villa with private pool. Exceptional service, staff always smiling and can't do enough for you.

We had a wonderful stay at Komaneka Monkey Forest. The staff and management were charming and very attentive. They made us feel part of the Komaneka family. The garden is beautiful. The food at the restaurant is excellent and well-priced. The massage and spa services are also excellent. Then hotel is an oasis in the centre of Ubud. We loved the village atmosphere and the understated luxury accommodation. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful all the way around! Loved staying at the hotel. Great room, great staff, great location! ❤️

a wonderful, beautifully maintained and staffed hotel in the heart of Ubud. We will return to this loving staff and perfect location again. This location and staff created a perfect vacation.

Our stay at Komaneka Monkey Forest was nothing short of spectacular! The staff here ensure that you always have anything you need and are so genuinely kind. The property is beautiful and perfectly maintained, and the food at their restaurant is also very good. The location is right in the center of Ubud and a short walk from the Monkey Forest, which we visited multiple times. I can honestly say I've never experienced a level of service like at Komaneka, it really stuck out to me as something special and made our trip to Ubud/Bali extra sweet! I would very highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Ubud.

had a really good experience. nice amenities and staff.

Sanctuary

This is my second visit to this property and my fourth with the Komenka group of hotels. This hotel provides a sanctuary from the chaos of ubud streets. Although located on monkey forest road once you walk down the driveway the noise simply disappears it is so tranquil. The property is set amongst lush gardens. My suite was lovely with fully enclosed and private garden courtyard. Everything has been well thought out with every amenity you could think of right at hand. Loved the bath in my ensuite. Turn down service still exists here and is beautifully done. Finally the staff with whom the experience is complete true Baliense hospitality is on display at all times. This is a hotel brand you can absolutely trust and I very much look forward to my next visit.

Property was amazing, and the room was decorated beautifully for our honeymoon.

Wonderful hotel and staff! I loved it so much I extended my stay. A quiet oasis in Ubud

Perfect place to stay in the heart of Ubud

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we have nothing but superlatives for Komaneka at Monkey Forest. The staff, hotel, location were all absolutely perfect! We loved every minute of our stay. Thankyou!!

First Class.

From the minute we arrived to the time we left all members of the Komaneka team made us feel part of their family whilst always being extremely professionally. This was our first visit to Bali and everything was faultless - the food was excellent, pool area very relaxing, all staff at reception were very helpful and even got up early to say goodbye as our taxi was collecting us at 6.15 in the morning of our departure. My wife was very impressed with the spa treatment she had during our stay. Whilst the hotel location was only minutes from the busy main road you felt like you were in your own oasis when you walked through reception.

Wonderful boutique hotel in Ubud. Quiet and peaceful even though it is just a few steps to shops and restaurants. Staff could not be more hospitable. Spa is fantastic -- beautiful ambiance and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Quiet Green Hideaway in Ubud

Wonderful hospitality from Agung and his staff. Everyone was helpful and kind. The room we had was spacious and immaculately clean. The bathroom was almost as big as the bedroom! It was very nice that breakfast is also included with our stay. The location of Komaneka Monkey Forest allowed us to walk around Ubud conveniently. Will definitely stay here again when we find ourselves in Ubud.

Comfort and Yet Convenient

The hotel staff are friendly and supportive. The breakfast and afternoon tea are good.

Excellence resort to stay

All staffs having consistence excellence service. They are very helpful, kind, polite , observant friendly and always carry a smiling face . The room is very well organise and very comfortable to stay in. The daily breakfast is well planned and serving is good and the food is delicious . Keep up the good job.

Simply amazing hospitality, conveniently located

First time here in my many visits to Ubud. Very comfortable room. Great breakfast and afternoon tea, the most amazing staff hospitality by far in my many visits to Bali and most importantly conveniently located to nearby restaurants, market and major Ubud attractions

Exceptional hotel in heart of Ubud.

This is an outstanding boutique hotel located in the heart of Ubud. The staff is amazing, incredibly attentive. When did you ever stay at a hotel where they washed your car, or a gardener helped you carry something just because he wanted to help? The location is in the center of Ubud close to all the shopping and activities, and yet once on the property it feels a world away. The villas are awesome, spacious, beautiful, peaceful and unique. We would not just recommend this location but put it near the top of our list of great small hotels.

Great stay at Komaneka Monkey Forest

Centrally located for restaurants, sights, etc. Wonderful staff kind and attentive and informative. Free activities included yoga, woodcarving, visit to museum owned by hotel owner, best private collection in Bali. Good pool, great breakfasts, free shuttle anywhere around town. There are four hotels of the same name, but Monkey Forest and one across the street have the best location.

You cannot get better that this.

Komaneka was the best experience I had in Bali. Service in impeccable. Staff will know you by a name and will go out of their way to accommodate you. When you stay at one komaneka you are able to use the pool and facilities of other komenaka locations. You will feel like part of the family. This was truly a great experience.

Nice hotel well located in Ubud.

We stayed at Komaneka at Monkey Forest in room 211 from 9 to 13 October 2017. The hotel is extremely well located (no more than a 5-10 minute walk to either end of the town). The staff was extremely friendly and always willing to help. The breakfast every morning was great, and huge, and we thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea. Our only complaint was that we had an ongoing ant, and occasional other type of bug, issue in our room. It wasnt anything extreme, but there was consistently a few ants, often on the bed. When we raised the issue with the hotel they were extremely cooperative with cleaning the room again and remaking the bed, but the issue persisted during our stay. This seemed to be partly due to the bathrooms not being fully enclosed, but partly open to the outside (there was a 1-2 inch gap between the sun roof and the wall which in areas was covered by mesh screening and in other areas by chicken wire), which seemed to allow bugs in. I would still recommend the hotel as it was a very nice stay. One tip, skip the full board option and get dinner at the numerous excellent restaurants in Ubud.

Splendid week away at Komaneka at Monkey Forest

My friend and I decided to take a holiday to Bali and noted Komaneka was available -- we left it to late to book and we couldn't be happier with the chosen resort. The staff were all extremely helpful, courteous and made sure our week's stay was enjoyable and peaceful. We will be going back again. Sandy

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed!

One of the most incredible resorts I've stayed at in SE Asia - staff were amazing and all knew our names, would happily stay here again when needing some r&r.

Perfect!

Hotel staff is absolutely incredible and caring! The place is well situated, in the heart of activities. Rooms are nice and clean. Romantic setting. Will definitely go back!

Beautiful grounds, gracious staff,in heart of Ubud

Walk out of the hotel and you are in the heart of Ubud, with lively bars, live music, great restaurants. The hotel staff were extremely kind and helpful. The breakfasts are included and are wonderful. We ate dinner there our first night and it was an excellent gourmet meal, the best of the trip I think. The room is very large, although a little dark. One especially nice touch is that upon arrival your bed has been decorated with rose pedals in the shape of a heart.

Magical

This place is absolutely magical. We travel frequently and always stay in very reputable hotels. This hotel by far exceeds all your expectations. It is charming, has impeccable service and the staff remember each guest by their first name. If you have special dietary requirements they give you a special menu with your name on it and only items that meet your requirements. Breakfast and afternoon tea are included with each room even if you ask for it to be served in your room there is no additional cost. The view of the rice field is so relaxing. I cannot compare this place to any other hotels. We visited the Four Seasons in Ubud during our stay and thought this hotel was ina nicer setting and more personable. All that being said, if you are looking for a commercial hotel in a high rise this is not a place for you. Will definitely return.

Best service I have experienced so far. The staff Devi and the rest treat you like family. The location could not be better and the hotel is gorgeous.

Pinaccle of Hospitality

This boutique hotel is located in the cultural center of Ubbud w/ close proximity to bars, restraunts, shops and attractions. But that is not why you stay here. The rooms have Balinese flair and the right amount of amenities with a nice view of a small rice paddy. But that is not why you stay here. The breakfast and afternoon tea are delicious, healthy, and locally sourced. No breakfast buffet. If you want over the top wasteful western luxury look else where. You stay here because the local staff and owners put there very heart and soul into welcoming you. From free shuttles, to restaurant suggestions, long explanations of culture ( Thanks Dewi) and walking beside you with an umbrella in a downpour while they get wet. You feel the full effect of Balinese hospitality. It is not a bargain nor is it exuberantly luxurious. It was an amazing experience that we will remember for a long time.

This is an outstanding hotel.

The service was excellent. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The hotel staff was always around to help you. The food at the hotel was also top notch. We enjoyed the daily breakfast and also the evening tea. We took two half-days tours arranged by the hotel. Our driver, Oka, was always ready to provide us with cool refreshing towels and water after each segment of our tours. From the time we were picked up at the airport, to the time we were dropped off at the airport, this was truly a very memorable experience.
