absolutely loved everything about my stay! The property is stunning, with beautiful buildings and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Walking through the family’s gorgeous home before entering the accommodation added such a special touch. The staff were incredible—genuinely kind, always smiling, and incredibly helpful. Ari, in particular, went above and beyond to make the experience even better. I felt so at home, safe, and well taken care of. There wasn’t a single negative thing to say. I can’t wait to return! This place is truly amazing, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

This place is magical: in the middle of the forest and with a beautiful swimming pool open 24/7. The staff is very nice and helpful and the rooms are big and clean. You need a motorbike for reaching the city center (just 5 minutes drive) but there are lots of options even if you don't have one (use grab etc). The breakfast is also very good. Thank you!

There was the usual ants in the room (esp being in the jungle) as well as the usual amount of bathroom mould. It didn’t detract from the great experience - it’s just a SE Asian thing.

The property, room and staff are excellent! I’ve been coming to Ubud for over 20 years and this is one of my new favourite places to stay. You will likely need a motorbike to get into town, unless you don’t mind a big walk.

Breakfast was decent, really liked the pool area. The room was a little to big for the air conditioner so it was a bit hot during the night to sleep. We could also rent a scooter from there.

The breakfast menu was limited but was included and was decent food.

Great location outside of busy ubud central, nice and peaceful with a chill pool to relax with breakfast in the mornings.

Some bedside tables would be nice and a small light as well. The wifi was a bit slow.

This hotel is family run and has several categories of room. It is really a very nice behind the traditional house over looking a beautiful garden. It was better than I expected. The breakfast was very good and had many options. The pool was really nice. My room was large and very clean.

Incredible good place to stay in Ubud. Fantastic pool that was almost all the time just for ourselves. Stylish rooms with pool+junges view, great location, stuff and literally everything. Highly recommend.

The most beautiful stay in the jungle. The infinity pool looking into the trees is beautiful! The staff are so kind - I highly recommend staying here!

This is a personal preference, but I found the bed quite hard. Some people might prefer to be closer to the centre of Ubud, though I didn't see this as a problem.

If you want to experience a taste of the "real Bali" and be close to Ubud, Gandatera is a great place to stay. The staff are friendly and fabulous, and the breakfast is delicious. The property is set back from the street and has a beautiful family temple on the grounds. It's tastefully decorated and has a fantastic infinity pool. Gandatera is located just outside Ubud and is an easy taxi ride or a 30-minute walk away. There are several excellent restaurants located within a ten-minute walk.

The service was outstanding! I've stayed at several hotels in Bali, but the service and standards here exceeded my expectations. The sweetest cats are also part of the incredibly friendly team, adding a unique charm to the experience. Everyone goes above and beyond every single day. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place—it’s a little slice of paradise!

Staff where very friendly and attentive

Only one small thing - the rooms are very well appointed and the beds are very comfortable- the addition of a bedside table and light would be very useful.

A lovely peaceful place. It was a privilege to see the family temple. The family members and the staff were all very welcoming and kind and helpful. The gardens and pool are very well maintained and very tranquil. It’s easy to book taxis or a car for the day. We loved our sightseeing day with Eddy.

Great room all new, great pool and nice breakfast

The room was spotless, with a fabulous infinity pool. The property felt very safe and secure. This hotel is owned and operated by a family who really make you feel right at home. We have been travelling SE Asia for 2.5 months and this was our best accomodation on our travels. We had the most luxurious stay for a backpacker friendly budget.

Not to term it as dislike but we did not expect it to be a Balinese design at the main entrance where only stairs were available. You will need to carry your baggage up a few steps and passed by their family units before reaching the accommodation. However, you will get the chance to understand the Balinese culture better.

The breakfast was great with main dish, fruits, hot drink & juice served. The staffs were friendly and accommodating. The location was great. Close to the town area but you will still need a transport to travel to the town area because of the hilly, dark and narrow roads.

standing water in the drain under the shower (after some time- not that big issue but could be improved.. and I am sure they will improve it;)

Very friendly staff, great breakfast, clean room, beautiful swimming pool and the whole hotel object.

This is a newly opened, clean and a boutique property in a peaceful locality, however its a little far from the city centre but the location and peace it totally worth the commute. Great hospitality, easy check in, good breakfast and amazing ever smiling staff

All perfect :)

We had an incredible stay at Gandaterra! At first we were a bit curious as the hotel didn’t have a lot of Reviews on Booking.com. But this place is a hidden secret spot for a perfect stay in Ubud. The breakfast(for me especially the banana Pancake :)) was amazing, the staff was so helpful and pleasent. The rooms were wonderful and clean, as well as the pool. The family & the whole team was wonderful! Thanks again Laura & Niklas
