Location is convenient

The toilet was choked and room full of sewage smell. Need maintenance.

Located outside of Ubud nearby the ricefields meaning a bit remote environment. Great room, clean and spacious, comfy bed. Excellent restaurant, breakfast is superb. For dinner, check the seafood satay!!! The staff was the best, super kind and helpful people. All I can say it is THE BEST value for money you can imagine in Bali.

Our booked room with pool access had a mouldy smell, just like mentioned in many reviews, but we could move to another room upstairs, which was just perfect.

Returning for my second stay at The Sun of Granary Resort Ubud, I was once again met with the exceptional, five-star service that makes this place truly memorable. Special thanks go to the amazing team—Indri, Ita, Putu, Ade, and Deyan from the booking team—who ensured every detail was handled with care. One of the highlights of this visit was the *jamu* making class, where I had the chance to learn the art of crafting Indonesia’s traditional herbal drink. It was a fun and immersive experience, and I loved that I could take the recipe home with me. And I did join the evening ceremony too, is a must :) The resort’s restaurant continues to impress with its high culinary standards, and breakfast is an absolute treat, setting a perfect tone for the day. This peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful property is surrounded by lush paddy fields, creating a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere that makes every stay unforgettable. A short walk from the resort leads to a charming local village, offering a glimpse into authentic Ubud life—a lovely addition to an already remarkable experience.

Nothing

My stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The quality of the food is outstanding, with a wide variety of options on the menu that kept me satisfied at every meal. Breakfast, in particular, offered a generous and delicious selection. The location is breathtaking, nestled among rice fields and far from the hustle and bustle, providing a serene and beautiful escape. The pool and the entire property are intimate, impeccably clean, and stunningly beautiful. The staff was incredibly courteous, attentive, friendly, and highly skilled. I also appreciated the complimentary snacks and water in the room. The room itself was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The daily free activities to explore Balinese culture were a fantastic addition, allowing for an authentic and enriching experience.

My overall experience was excellent, but I have a few suggestions that could enhance the stay even further. While I appreciate the hotel’s effort towards being plastic-free, I noticed that some amenities were still wrapped in plastic before being placed in a paper bag. It would be great to see a complete elimination of plastic packaging, in line with the eco-friendly approach. Lastly, during the massage, I noticed that the towel used to cover me was already soaked with oils, which suggests it had been used for someone else before. I would have preferred a fresh, clean towel for a more hygienic experience.

The staff were amazingly attentive, absolutely beautiful surroundings, lovely villa and pool which were of outstanding quality. The food was fresh, of good quality and well-presented. The spa ladies had magical fingers with great attention to detail and our private excursion guide was extremely patient and helpful.

We found a few ants in the bed, although we expect insects being surrounded by nature we didn’t like them AT ALL in the bed, for us personally. This led to discomfortable sleeping patterns and a little anxiety. The staff did however give us some moderate bug spray IMMEDIATELY upon asking and we accept their high respect of nature.

The property is away from the busy centre and full of lush trees and plants that really make it a little paradise to relax. If you’re a very light sleeper remember that you’re in the middle of nature so you will hear frogs and chickens throughout the night/morning. This has nothing to do with the property itself so it doesn’t impact my rating! Four bottles of water are provided and replenished daily, as well as some snacks. The room has a mosquito net and mosquito repellent although mosquitos were not a problem.

Some noises in the night though I understand the hotel is working to control it.

The best thing is the staff The location is a bit far from city centre but they provide shuttle and you can hop in to go to ubud We had a villa and then we changed to normal room and all is good and clean

What pissed me off a bit is that they just have a la carte breakfast which is not a big variety and if u still hungry u have to pay for your plate also i had to pay for my baby food then when i complained they said we are sorry and did provide food for my son without any charges So no buffet although you pay a lot And not a lot of activities i mean you have to pay for some activities The entrainment was not that good too so dont need to stay in the hotel if you are looking for enjoyment

The staff were very genuine and friendly, the food was delicious, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the pool was lovely and the whole place was very beautiful and well maintained in a very beautiful location. The free shuttle to Ubud was great and the free Yoga was very good. I really enjoyed the traditional dancers and the entertainment at dinner. We even had the photographer take some nice photos of us which made us feel even more special.

It would have been better if we could stay longer.

Loved the location, away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud, peaceful and serene amongst the rice fields. The welcoming is a unique experience and a great way to start our stay. The staff were overall excellent, very friendly, attentive and polite. The rooms were spacious and clean, beds very large and curtains were blackout. The breakfast is exceptional with plenty of options. There are a range of free activities you could get involved in. Loved our stay here and would definitely recommend for a quiet trip to enjoy the Ubud and Tegalalang area.

Honestly these are only very subtle faults and by no means disrupted our stay but may contribute to why this isn't quite a 5 star hotel yet. The room constantly smelt like damp with and without the AC on, the shower pressure comes and goes and can be difficult to get it to a good temperature and there is some mould in the bathrooms. Nothing major at all!

Great location - in the middle of the countryside, rice fields and close to Ubud. Peace, quiet and local color was what I was looking for, so I felt very good in this hotel. The hotel is small with a beautiful, green area, very responsive and kind staff. The hotel also offers other nice services for free - morning walks, bike rental, transportation to Ubud

Although the overall impression is very good, you should be prepared for various surprises.... But if you keep a positive attitude, it shouldn't spoil your day.. :) For example: The transport to Ubud will take you, but there is no guarantee that they will come back... For example: We had to wait for a whole hour for a couple of families, and when no one came, we had to look for a taxi in the city. Or, sometimes you have to pay for Espresso coffee at breakfast, sometimes you don't...
