Fabulous villa. Adults only. Only 6 or 7 villas so very peaceful. Its a 10 minutes or so easy walk to town but the staff will drop you or pick you up on demand if you prefer. Its quicker and nicer to walk. Opposite a temple with rice fields in between. It was fully booked when we stayed but we didn't really see anyone. Awesome breakfast served on villa balcony when you like. The transfer to the villas from the airport is about 90 mins with lots of typical Bali traffic. Ubud itself is so different to the beaches. There are a few rice field walks from town which we highly recommend. The Ridge walk wasn't as great as we'd read to be honest. The downtown rice field walks are better. Eateries are abundant but try going up laneways to eat in family homes in their gardens. We also did ebike to tegalalang rice fields which would recommend. Also hired a car and driver for the day and went up to Munduk via waterfalls and forests which was awesome. Truly the Sabandari Villas are a perfect location away from busy but close to town. Gorgeous villas. Even had an outside shower in the rain!!! The staff are so lovely. Highly recommend. The cost was well above other similar places but we felt it was value for money.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Staying here while in Ubud made our trip so much more memorable and enjoyable. There is no shortage of accommodation choices here, so I'm glad we found this little gem! We had plans to spend about a week on Rote Island and then travel to Ubud for a few days, but our Rote ferry got cancelled and due to the incoming storm, we were concerned we might get stuck on Rote and miss our flight(s). Reached out to Villa Sabandari and asked if our reservation could be pulled up a few days earlier. Dirk was quick to respond and was able to accommodate our date change. We changed our flight out of Kupang and arrived a few days later. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the lovely staff with a glass of fresh watermelon juice. Delicious! I love the fact there's only six rooms here (caters to adults only). It's cozy and intimate and the staff here are courteous and exceptionally attentive (subtle, not overbearing). Everything on this property is well maintained and the location is very close to the main part of Ubud. They do offer a courteous shuttle for drop offs and pick ups in town that runs most of the day, but we never used it as it's probably faster to walk due to the congestion on the roads. The changing breakfasts are fresh and delicious and the afternoon tea is a lovely treat. After a day of wandering the town, the infinity pool is perfect way to cool off and relax, while looking over the rice fields next door. I needed some down time and for me, this place checked all of the boxes. We were planning to head back to Denpasar and stay the last couple of nights there before flying out since we have such an early flight (the commute to the airport from Ubud is over an hour), which means leaving before 5am, but decided to add two more nights here and just sleep in the taxi. For us, the early morning wake up was worth it! Thank you Villa Sabandari for making our Indonesian trip so enjoyable.

The villa was beautiful, in a secluded setting, felt very private. There were only 6 rooms so I didn’t seen many other guests during my stay, felt like I had the place to myself. Had the pool to myself on both days, which was so nice.

The location was great, walking distance from the centre of Ubud, but having the use of the driver to pick up and drop off whenever required for free was fantastic. The rooms were very spacious and felt luxurious. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I arrived a couple of hours earlier than check in time because I’d moved from another accommodation and they made up my room within 30 mins and I could check straight in which was very much appreciated. Breakfast was really nice too.

Beautiful location, very central to get into Ubud easily. I walked mainly but there was also a shuffle bus provided which was great. The staff were also very nice.

There could have been better options for vegan and vegetarians for the breakfast and alternative milks for coffee etc but I was informed once I checked out that if I had asked the evening before the staff would have gone and got this for me which is great to know for another time.

Villa Sabandari was our favourite place we stayed in Bali! The villa was great and had everything you need, we loved the outside bath and shower and the snacks from Flock in the mini bar (would recommend trying these or visiting the restaurant in town!). The breakfast changed every day which was a nice change from the buffets and was good quality and freshly cooked. The pool was beautiful and we enjoyed the location of the villa being away from the noisy streets. The villa provided a shuttle service into Ubud which we found really helpful. The staff here were amazing and were always friendly and happy to help - could not fault the staff at all! Will definitely stay here again when we come back to Bali :)

The only small issue we had was that the chemicals in the pool did turn my hair (dyed blonde) and our swimsuits slightly green. We may have just got unlucky with our timing going into the pool and this did not put us off going in the next day as it was too beautiful not to!

clean facilities, relaxing and cozy place. Good choice to spend some time away from the noise and be close to the nature. villas have a sharing pool and they are designed in a way to have a view to the beautiful trees and the rice fields. breakfast is a surprised meal which comes with some bread, pastries, fresh juices, tea or coffee. Afternoon tea/coffee and snacks is another lovely thing to have included. villa has all necessary services although I would like to see better towels quality. Shower is an open area, it is a nice experience to try but keep this in mind if it matters to you. staff are really nice, polite and ready to help any time. Tours, laundry and scooter rental can be arranged by the villa too which is an advantage.

access to the villas is a bit tricky in a narrow uphill road but staff provide a free shuttle to places around which I believe is a very nice gesture

We loved our stay! The staff went above and beyond - the best staff I've ever experienced at a hotel. They provided a shuttle service into Ubud centre and home everytime we needed it. They made sure we were always well stocked with fresh towels and water bottles and everything else we needed. We were lucky enough to be given a room upgrade too, as a lovely surprise. Breakfast was great too. I loved everything about this place.

Amazing place!!! The best location to stay in Ubud. In a quiet area, but very close to the centre. We spent only a few days in Villa Sabandari, but we wish we could stay longer! We will definetly come back and stay for longer period! The place was very clean, the staff super helpful, the breakfast very very tasty. The best value is the place itself

Enjoyed the daily different breakfasts, the library, the quiet pool, the free afternoon teas, the free transfers to and from Ubud center although walking is also a good option. Good, helpful and nice staff. Overall excellent experience.

The big ants that paid us daily visits in the bathroom. No rooms or villas for families with kids and therefore we needed 2 villa's instead of the preferred one villa.

The beautiful, friendly staff & the lush surroundings, beautiful breakfasts & also the proximity to Ubud center, which could easily be walked. The complimentary shuttle service provided by the villas for transport to & from restaurants/shops is great.

NOT ONE THING DID I DISLIKE!!!
