Location, friendly staff, peaceful surrounds

Stayed in February 2025

The location is very convenient as all of Ubud is in walking distance. The over friendly staff is very helpful and can arrange most everything. Some facilities could use a refreshing but it is overall very good value for the money.

Nothing! It was perfect, we didn’t miss anything!

Sam’s cottages is really a hidden gem behind the buzzling streets of Ubud. The arrangement of the cottages and the location was wonderful, our villa very modern, comfortable and clean. Staff very friendly and helpful! We can highly recommend this place and would definitely come again!

The bathroom doors were not functioning.Had a tough time with that. Breakfast very few options and not of great quality. Should definitely be improved.

The location, the scenic environment and the smiling and helpful staffs

Not much not to like , some small maintenance issues noticed such as cracked tiles around pool and missing light fitting in villa but did not affect overall stay

It’s quiet relaxed and private

Nothing I couldn't stay longer

Everything was good, location close to busy ubud and restaurants but just out of the noise which was great. Very helpful staff perfect for a family as had a private pool and a large shared pool

Great location just a few minutes walk from town, but still quiet. Breakfast being brought to the room was so nice and I enjoyed being able to choose from five different menu items each day.

Only reason we didn't rate as excelled was that we didn't find the staff friendly and the pool area was fairly small.

It is a great location with beautiful gardens. The cottages are clean and tidy. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 small children). There are plenty of places nearby for good food, yoga, massages etc.

Everything great, very happy and would stay again.

Loved the breakfast brought to your room each morning. The pool area is lovely, quiet with plenty of sun loungers. Samas Cottages are in a very central area of Ubud however very quiet and secluded. An easy walk into town.

Peace and quiet in a beautiful tropical location just 5 minutes walk to the Water Palace and centre. Breakfast ordered from nearby cafe served on your cottage terrace. Gorgeous pool with shade from trees and comfy loungers. Mosquito nets around bed but there didn't seem to be any.. Has it's own spa. One couple were on their 10th visit. Barely saw anyone else.

Lighting could have been brighter in the rooms. Some staff had very little English, so trying to get our requests across was sometimes very difficult, though I could see they tried very hard.

The property is centrally located just off a main road, yet it offers a tranquil environment free from traffic noise. The cottages are clean and well-maintained, featuring spacious bathrooms and excellent air conditioning, along with reliable Wi-Fi. The pool is lovely and well-kept, with both a deep end and a shallow end to stand up in. There are always plenty of towels and recliners available. With a limited number of guests at any given time, the atmosphere remains quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly and attentive.

On arrival my door would not lock and the bathroom sink plug did not work. The door lock was repaired the next day but the sink plug never did get addressed. Not a major but I would have liked to have done some hand washing.

I stayed at Sama's for 5 nights with a friend and we had 2 cottages at the very end of the property facing each other but with a meditation deck and beautiful grounds surrounding us. Sama's is very central for Ubud and although off a main street there was no traffic noise in the property. The traffic was unbelievable so we ended up walking everywhere and were very grateful for the good location of Sama's cottages. The cottages are attractive with a comfortable bed, good shower, large bathroom and great air conditioning. The Wi-Fi worked well. Each cottage has its own veranda where breakfast was brought to us each morning. There is a good selection for breakfast and we had fruit, juice, coffee and eggs/bacon. There is bottled water in the room. Monkeys and squirrels romped through the trees behind the property but did not bother us. The pool was lovely with a proper deep end, a descent size with plenty of towels and recliners. As there are limited guests at Sama's the pool was usually very quiet. An adjoining Café can provide room service throughout the day but we choose to roam the plentiful local and close restaurants. We did not use the spa services but they were available. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The staff kept the property and cottages spotless and the sound of sweeping became quite soothing. The staff were never intrusive. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Ubud.

Poor wifi. Poor staffing of reception. When going out for dinner I would take my key with me.

The location was very good. The cleaning guys were outstanding and helpful.

The bed was harder than just am used to but still comfortable.

Beautiful cottage and grounds. Very quiet. Staff very helpful. Breakfast choices good and delivered to your veranda daily. Swimming pool good. Very central to Ubud and walking distance to most things. Off the main road.

Very good location- on the Main Street full of gorgeous restaurants and bars etc. Nice staff and room was big. One fault would be the bugs in the room ( small amount ) however it’s hard to get away from as it’s in the jungle! Would recommend this hotel just bring some bug spray :)

Leaving

A very beutiful, peaceful, well kept, place. Lots of tropical plants, skilfully tucked away from the madness of Ubud, but only metres away from the center.

Stayed in September 2024

The front door needs to be fixed, no security concerns but there was a gap in the front that let the bugs in.

Location is perfect! You can walk 10 mins to monkey forest and avoid the traffic on the main road! The family deluxe was huge and more than enough space for 2A and 2C. The property is well maintained and the lush garden creates a sense of peace and breakfast is simple yet delicious.
