everything was as promised. Villa is super clean and tidy, all the staff are happy and helpful and always keen to help you have free shuttle to downtown Ubud 3 times daily you get also free shuttle to a close big supermarket for daily needs area is very safe but not much around, you and the nature only. super relaxing. we also loved the free perks, we got free dinner and free half an hour massage with the booking which was amazing. the massage was super relaxing. Also huge huge shoutout to DIAN, our lovely host and friend, she took extremely good care of us throughout the whole visit and was always available for any needs we have, we had a small issue in our villa and straight away was offered to swap the villa is that's satisfactory to us and also goodwill from their end. she is really expert in customer service and very very helpful. we loved our stay in Upud so much and would totally recommend Griya Shanti

it would've been amazing if there was a way to heat the pool water as it was cold most of the time so we couldn't really use it as much as we wanted. 2nd is not really related to the property, but if you are staying in Ubud in griya shanti or similar property be prepared that as you will be surrounded by amazing nature that also comes with quite some insects and small flies around you.

Our stay at this villa in Ubud was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm Balinese hospitality and breathtaking views of the lush jungle. The villa was immaculately clean. The private infinity pool overlooking the river was a highlight, making every sunrise and sunset feel like a dream. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, providing delicious breakfasts, arranging transport, and even organizing a private massages nearly every day The location was perfect—peaceful and secluded, yet just a short drive from Ubud’s vibrant center. Whether we were relaxing by the pool, exploring nearby waterfalls, or enjoying the incredible local cuisine, every moment felt special. If you’re looking for a luxurious, tranquil escape in Ubud, this villa is an absolute must. We can’t wait to return! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bali!

Loved staying here and would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it. The staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They spend a lot of time ensuring the upkeep of the place and helping out wherever they could. We also enjoyed the relaxing massages that could be booked for the day from therapists that attended the villa. The location was also so peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by rice paddies and trees. The ride into the centre of Ubud was not too difficult and Grab taxis were easily available around.

The breakfasts (mie goreng and nasi goreng) at times were a bit on the salty side and at times we had to pre-order the night before, which meant that we were able to be less flexible with our plans. I am sure that this could be discussed with the staff though if needed.

On arrival we were greeted by very friendly and attentive staff who informed us of the facilities and activities available. We managed to organise a floating breakfast for the following morning which was absolutely stunning. The villa itself was perfect. Very spacious, spread out over two levels with a generous, very inviting pool overlooking an amazing jungle view. The room was well appointed with all of the amenities you could want. The location was great, set in a quiet secluded area but close enough to the hustle and bustle of Ubud Central. Would highly recommend a stay here at Griya Shanti Villas.

First of all, a huge thank you to the staff. No request was too much trouble. They always always had a smile on and were so accomodating. I’ve travelled the world extensively and have rarely come across front of house and drivers so friendly yet professional who will bent backwards and forwards to truly make sure you’re happy and having a great holiday. I felt welcomed and looked after like if I was part of the family, and that really was the highlight of my stay at Griya Shanti. Even though I never got to meet the owner, he helped me with many of my requests. Special mentions to Putu and to Gusman as well as the front of house that was there most mornings (sorry I have forgotten your name), they were all incredible! The free shuttle 3 times per day to Ubud was appreciated and for a small cost, the driver could drop/pick up outside the set times. And the private pool was a selling point for me. It was my 3rd time in Bali, there’ll be more visits and I will definitely consider Griya Shanti again! Greetings from the UK!

Yes my villa was a bit outdated and the furniture could do with being updated, but it didn’t prevent me from enjoying my stay. The towels could also be updated as they were mostly stained or torn. One thing I would say though might be to improve the breakfast and have more options like smoothie bowls or other healthy options and non dairy milk as an option too. None of this was a big issue they are just suggestions as I had a great experience at Griya Shanti.

An amazing stay in heart of Bali. The villa is perfect for family vacation. It has all the amenities, a kitchen with fridge, stove and cutleries. Swimming pool is cleaned and maintained everyday. The staff of Griya Shanti Villa is exceptional, we were taken care of and made feel at home by Sinthia, Wina and Laksmi, we really appreciate their hospitality. They took care of all our requests from dinner, spa, housekeeping and arranging car and driver for us to visit around Bali. The restaurant serves excellent breakfast and food. They even made a cake for our family member's birthday. The location is close to centre of Ubud and the hotel provides free shuttle services few times a day to Ubud centre. I highly recommend!

It was a unique and great experience for us. The hotel is quiet and private, within a unique nature. From the first minute we arrived, the staff were fantastic, very helpful, polite, always smiling and caring. We had one free dinner and 30 minutes free massage as we stayed more than 3 nights and they were also great. It was my husband's birthday and I kindly asked them to provide a small cake and they bring the cake to our dinner as a surprise to him by singing happy birthday song which was lovely :) They were also helpful to arrange shuttle to Ubud center whenever we need. We will definitely be recommending the hotel and hope we will have a chance to stay there again. Thank you for a wonderful time and for taking such good care of us :)

Beautiful resort property with private villas located about 15 minutes outside of Ubud center. The staff were lovely - kind, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The resort has a complimentary shuttle three times a day and a driver to/from Ubud when needed for a modest cost. Breakfast was included in our room rate and was delicious and freshly prepared each morning. We also had complimentary massages and a dinner because of our length of stay. A private pool, private bathrooms for each room, and a covered dining area with a fridge, sink, and stovetop made the stay even better.

There was a lot of traffic getting in and out of Ubud no matter what time of day we went or returned. It took 20 - 25 minutes most trips. The resort was accommodating with the driver, which was very helpful.

There are not enough words to explain..... The villas were immaculate. Each room spacey clean and beautiful. The beds are so comfortable. Each bathroom was perfectly fitted out. The villa space had everything we needed. The pool was amazing to swim in and ample supply of pool towels The staff couldn't do enough for us. They helped arrange some tours and drivers as well as private yoga classes in the yoga space near the waterfall. The restaurant made delicious meals for breakfast and also for dinner. For me it was the perfect distance from Ubud and easily enough to get to.... if you ever felt the need to leave. Which wasn't often 😁😁 Thankyou again Griya Shanti for yet another amazing holiday (my second stay, and friends first) and I'm pretty sure we will all be back again

The only thing... is we couldn't stay longer... There was nothing any of us could fault.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed free half hour massage and especially free Indonesian 3 course dinner. The bed was quiet wide and comfortable. Good cold air con.

THE BREAKFAST. For 4 and a half star we expected a bit better. The menu choice was very poor. No yogurts, cheeses, sausages, cham or bacon for your eggs which were always overcooked. No green salads and only one kind of white bread. By the volume: 1 toast, 2 eggs, 1 juice drink, 1 cup of coffee or tee, 1 serve of fruit, for anything extra - PAY.
