Why People Love It

9.4⭐104 reviews
  • The legendary 'flower pool' photos are exactly as advertised
  • Incredible jungle valley views that feel miles away from civilization
  • Staff (especially drivers like Suka) treat you like royalty

Quick Take: A content-creation factory disguised as a hotel, where the views are real but the 'peace' is often interrupted by drone buzz.

Reviewed by @naelynette: I was blown away by the jungle views here. Lounging on the net bed suspended over the trees was terrifyingly cool, and the open-air living room made my morning coffee feel magical. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and just breathe.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Guests are blown away by the views and staff hospitality, often calling it a 'once in a lifetime' experience.

Reality check

The 'Insta-famous' vibe can be intense, with guests constantly staging shoots in common areas.

  • Your main goal is capturing world-class travel content
  • You want a romantic, isolated hideaway and don't plan to leave the property much
  • You are comfortable with nature (humidity, bugs, jungle sounds)

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.8
  • Housekeeping: Daily and thorough, with evening turndown service often including flower petals.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, though outdoor bathrooms can attract ants/leaves quickly.
  • Maintenance: Good condition, though the humid jungle air causes rapid wear on wood and paint.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality, but can feel slightly damp due to humidity.
  • Odors & scents: Fresh frangipani and lemongrass, occasionally masked by a damp earthy smell.

Before you book

Good to know

  • The famous 'flower pool' must be booked in advance and costs extra.
  • Floating breakfast is a separate 'experience' fee in some packages.
  • The road to the villa is unpaved and bumpy; prepare for a rocky arrival.

What to pack

  • Strong insect repellent (the jungle is alive)
  • Earplugs (for the roosters)
  • Universal travel adapter (Indonesian plugs)

Room Genie

Best picks

  • River Villa: The star of the show with a private pool and 180-degree unblocked jungle views.
  • Luxe Suite: Good mid-tier option with a private 'sky hammock' for lounging.

Rooms to avoid

  • Standard Suites if you want a private pool—they only have access to the shared infinity pool.
  • Any room near the common area if you want total privacy from photo-takers.

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I'm celebrating a special occasion and would love a room with the most private jungle view possible, ideally away from the main common pool area to avoid foot traffic.”

FAQ & Hidden tips

Everything you actually want to know before you book.

Is the flower pool free?

No. It is a paid 'experience' that costs significantly extra (millions of IDR) and must be booked.

Can I walk to Ubud center?

No. It's a 15-minute drive on a scooter or car. The road is not pedestrian-friendly.

Do all rooms have private pools?

No. 'Villas' (like River Villa) have private pools. 'Suites' (like Luxe Suite) share the main infinity pool.

Is it private?

Mostly, but drones are common, and the 'glass pool' is a shared photo spot.

Are there bugs?

Yes. You are in a ravine in the jungle. Ants, geckos, and mosquitoes are your neighbors.

Is breakfast included?

Standard breakfast is usually included, but the 'floating' version is often an upcharge.

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    Book the 'River Villa' if you want the floating breakfast in *your* pool, not the public one.

  • ✨

    Ask for Suka as your driver—he's a guest favorite for local tours.

  • ✨

    The 'common area' glass pool gets busy with photo shoots in the morning; go mid-day for a swim.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The humidity is intense; nothing ever feels 100% dry.

  • 💡The 'stairs of death' to get to some rooms are a workout in themselves.

  • 💡You might wake up to a monkey on your balcony (keep doors locked).

  • 💡The 'jungle view' means you are facing a ravine—it gets dark earlier than the coast.

  • 💡Food delivery (Grab/Gojek) can be tricky due to the remote location.
