A hotel with a very high service culture and a high level of service. The service staff is fantastic in everything. Excellent breakfast in the restaurant with a nice view of the pool and the jungle. Of course, nature views from the room and the superb pool. The flower bath in the room was charming. The room is spacious enough with an elegant design. We loved it. The terrace-like balcony with a bathtub and a view of the jungle is wonderful. On the other side of the hotel, across the street, or by walking to the left, you can enjoy the green rice fields and a walk along the tourist street and path. There are cafes with local food and delicious fresh juices. . A place where I would definitely like to return....if a transfer to the city is provided.

Of course, the downside is getting to the hotel. The hotel does not provide a free transfer to Ubud, as many hotels in the area do. However, this diminishes the image of the hotel, and because of this we almost gave up on the hotel. From the hotel, you can walk to Ubud 2.2. km along the tourist trail. You can do it once to enjoy the views around, but it's not easy, especially in the heat. The prices of drivers and taxis here are increased and they ask for 150k rupees one way, which is not cheap. If you haggle, you can negotiate for 100k . The trip lasts about 20-40 minutes, depending on the traffic, because you have to drive around a bend to get over the gorge.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kastara! The property is beautiful with gorgeous views of the jungle, and amazing rooms with great design, outdoor patio with private bathtub, nice bathrooms, and all the amenities were really nice. They had lovely restaurant onsite with great breakfast, lunch and dinner, nice views from the tables and good food and nice service. The pool is amazing and we enjoyed the yoga class in the morning. we got massages in the spa and loved them! The location is fantastic on a nice road you can hike to a river and temple straight from Kastara passing nice cafes along the way and pretty views. The staff were great, we hope to come back!

Kastara Resort is beyond amazing. The views from the room are spectacular, photos definitely don't do justice. I've seen some reviews complaining about the location, but it wasn't the case for us. If you are used to walking (like in any European city), you can reach Ubud centre in just 20 minutes going through the Campuhan Ridge Walk with beautiful views. I wouldn't recommend this at night though, because there is no lighting in the roads. Food from the restaurant was also really good. It is obviously more expensive than common places, but nothing that cannot be afforded and the plates are huge. I must also note that the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. If you want to spend some days relaxing and avoiding the city hustle, I would definitely recommend Kastara Resort, even if it's just for a few nights.

Communication through Booking could have been better. I had previously requested and confirmed a honeymoon decoration upon our arrival but it was not done. I didn't really mind at the end, but maybe for other customers it would have been a big deal. They still apologised and we were ok about it. :)

We returned to Kastara for the second time after 1 year. Cozy spacious rooms with new furniture and incredible views. Very good wi-fi (we work with my boyfriend and we haven't had any problems). There is a GYM with everything you need. Spa!!! Specialist with magic hands! After the flight, I was recovered in literally 1 hour. Very tasty restaurant and bar. The staff is incredible! Very good location. Close to the artist's walk and not far to Ubud.

The view was one of the amazing scenery we have ever seen. The infinity pool was overwhelming, and in generel, the hotel, including the room, looks even prettier in real life than in the photos. The food was good and had a big variety The staff were so friendly and helpful, with an amazing personal attitude. The hotel is located far from the city center of Ubud, which added to the relaxing experience. However, you can rent a scooter or order a taxi from the front desk with no problem. Another big plus to the location is that it is in a walking distance from the Campuhan Ridge road, which is a beautiful, authentic, and easy walk to the city.

We had a great experience but we didn't like the fact that big groups can enter the hotel and the infinity pool as part of their trip, and take photos, use the pool and the side pool beds and disturbe the relaxing environment. This is the only thing holding this hotel back from being a real luxurious hotel.

This was one of the best places we’ve ever stayed ! Everything, from the location, to the beautiful staff, the food was amazing ! The drinks were perfect and then the room ! The room was spectacular ! Honestly like a paradise. We had a giant bath overlooking the jungle, which was just magical. We could’ve spent so much more time there and will definitely book a longer stay here next time. This resort was absolutely joy ! If I could give 100 stars, I would.

There’s no negatives about this resort. Everything is excellent.

Kastara Resort was perfect, we loved our stay here so much! The entire resort was super clean, the room was gorgeous & spacious and the outdoor bathtub with the jungle view was next level. The food in the restaurant was also very delicious and the staff was very kind & always helpful. This place is perfect to get away from the crowd to have some peaceful, relaxed days surrounded by nature. Ubud center is only 10-15 min drive by scooter tho. I highly recommend this resort, 10/10!!!

The property and staff were absolutely outstanding. For an extra fee they decorated my friend’s room with flowers, balloons, lights and a cake. We had massages and a facial and it was extremely relaxing, clean and the staff gave me one of the best I have experienced in a very long time. The grounds were stunning, kept up and the perfect place to relax.

There is nothing I didnt like about my stay.

Very cool setup for the pool, rooms with beds looking out at the forest, outdoor bath tubs on the balcony and the restaurant menu was very good

Not necessarily a bad thing but it’s a little far from Ubud central. Can walk it in about 30 minutes IF it’s light, otherwise you need to get a 15 minute taxi (has to go around the houses to get there)

Staff was great, especially Rika and Susan. Common areas also, we loved the pool. Food presentation and quality was top notch. We had the pool villa which was spacious and clean.
