Fantastic location in the gorgeous alleyways of Penestanan Village. Within walking distance to the cool cafes and yoga studios. Clean and big rooms. Serene and quiet.

Taman Rahasia means Secret Garden ands that’s what you have to expect: a hidden gem within a wonderful garden. The rooms are spacious and clean. There is a fridge, fan, air/con, water heater, a nice terrace with sofa, table and chairs, fine wifi and a decent number of breakfast choices. Bed is super comfy, good mosquito net. The staff is incredibly nice, the owners very sympathetic and helpful. The only thing that disturbed me a bit at the beginning was the “open” bathroom, so if you want a more closed space ask for rooms upstairs with the balcony. Also if you like it really quiet, do not choose the room next to the pool and breakfast area, because of course it can get a bit noisy sometimes. All in all it IS a fantastic quiet place. To Ubud center you walk 25 minutes. Seems far but believe me, once you are downtown, you are so glad to stay in a place a bit remote, at Taman Rahasia. Which is located in a nice, green area of town, with a lot of options for great food (Vespa, Made’s, Alchemy, Yellow Flower, only to name a few) and also yoga studios in walking distance. Hotel associated driver Wayan is supe friendly and can bring you everywhere. Absolute recommendation!

We had the king room with balcony -  beautifully decorated in the traditional Balinese style, comfy beds and excellent shower. Mornings started with delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and a variety of things to choose from. The place really is a sanctuary in the middle of a busy city - peaceful and quiet with beautiful tropical garden, yet bustling downtown Ubud is a short 15 minute walk away. The spa was great, according to my family. The staff at the property were super friendly and helpful. Michel provided a lot of useful tips and info on the various attractions on the island, such as the sunrise trek to the top of mount Batur, etc., and I enjoyed our chats with him with  interesting insights into the island culture. Plenty of little shops nearby, some excellent restaurants and scooter rentals just outside the property. The Vespa Pizza restaurant is not to be missed! All in all Taman Rahasia was a really excellent choice for our 5 day stay in Ubud, and we would gladly book again.

Michel is a very kind and attentive host. All the instructions were clear, and he gives you good advice on things you can do around the area. The hotel is a half-hour walk from Ubud center, which is nice because the area is far away from all the crazy traffic, and it's very quiet and relaxing at night. It's not an easy walk to the center because of the traffic, and the roads are quite steep, but you can book a Grab very easily and go everywhere. Breakfast is nice, and it's all homemade. The room is very big and comfortable; there is air-conditioning and a minifridge. The bathroom is huge. The attention to detail for the furniture is really impressive. There is also a nice patio outside each room, which is nice if you want to chill in the evening. As a solo traveler, I felt safe all the time, and I really enjoyed my stay, even if it was for a short time. Thank you very much.

I loved everything.

The Room was exactly like the photos and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast menu was great with a variety of options. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Being tucked away at the back of the property meant that it was really quite and peaceful. A couple of good restaurants for dinner/ lunch nearby

I liked everything. Although be aware that the entrance to the property was down a narrow walkway between buildings and although perfectly safe at all times, I was a little bit nervous the first night I arrived (but 100% comfortable walking in and out by myself there after). Maybe some extra hotel signage and arrows to say the hotel was located further on may be helpful.

Beautiful property tucked away from the small streets. The pool and gardens were lovely very peaceful and quiet. Our room was a good size with a comfortable bed, a large water dispenser (such a good idea no having to buy bottles) and a lovely terrace with daybed and table and chairs, we had an enormous bathroom. The couple that run the place are so welcoming and helpful, all the staff were great. A delicious breakfast was served by the pool with 4 different choices, the only place we stayed in Bali that can make nice toast! We loved the area it’s quiet and peaceful about a 30 min scenic walk into Ubud centre or a short taxi ride. At the back of the hotel is a gorgeous walkway going through the rice fields with a couple of cute restaurants along the way. There are a few places to eat in walking distance we especially enjoyed cafe Vespa 2 min walk away. This was our favourite stay in Bali and somewhere we would return to.

Nothing we just didn’t stay long enough

Lovely looking place, very picturesque. The plants around the location are all beautiful and the gardens are very well kept! Rooms are nicely decorated and the aircon is decent too. The bathroom was very pretty, open and decorated well. The balcony was amazing with a lovely view of the garden. Breakfast options were good, and the seating areas were beautiful, though watch your step near the pond as its at a different level and hard to see the step, down. Good location, a nice walk away from some lovely restaurants (Yellowflower is exceptional!), the main Ubud strip and the Campuhan Ridge walk.

The bed was one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever laid on. Made for a few very unrested nights! There's a very hard ridge round the outside of the mattress too, which was very uncomfortable getting in and out over.

Great location out of the hustle, bustle and craziness that is the centre of Ubud. A calm, peaceful oasis. Huge rooms, terrace and bathroom. Owners will interact as much or as little as you wish. I had 2 great massages and body scrub at a reasonable price. The rice paddies are literally outside the back gate. I would definitely recommend to stay here

Not an issue for me but the location is a good 25 minute walk from the centre of town with lots of steps/ uphill Grab a scooter, you don’t wait longer than a couple of minutes and I felt very safe

Rooms were spacious and felt like Balanese homes. Staff were co-operative and adhered to our small concerns. Breakfast had local fresh fruits which my family enjoyed.

Check out time was very early considering my evening flight time and although was ready to pay for extra time, but staff insisted on vacating room as soon as possible for which we were very disappointed. We had to reschedule our drop time and had to wander around city. The spa was not up to the mark as the lady was inexperienced, shoulder pain did not go for a day. Not happy at all with spa treatment.
