The destruction of the forest seen from my balcony for new lodging

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia -- traditional crafts, beautiful dances, daily offerings, a culinary heaven. Its proximate surroundings includes sacred gardens, rainforests, plantations, terraced rice paddies, multiple waterfalls, all dotted with multiple Hindu temples and shrines, creating gorgeous landscapes. Ancient holy sites with intricately carved shrines, welcomes you to many properties, a land of rituals, offerings, insense burning, punctuated with several enchanting celebrations! Fortunately I saw the Ogoh-Ogoh parades, the Nyepi Day of Silence, marking the Balinese New Year, and the Eid celebrations closing the Ramadan with chants. This city always has a cause for celebration, from its cultural parades, to festivals, and religious events, endless shopping, promoting their unique local culture, standing up to its international reputation, Matur Suksma Ubud!!

Driving to the parking area was a nightmare as the approach way was very narrow

Staff was extremely helpful. Property location was very good with very near to the Ubud Palace. We happened to stay on the Peace day and staff went out of the way to assist

- mattresses: for me really not good. felt old/soft. - the view from the balcony was onto a tree/'jungle', which would have been amazing, if not: sadly, during my stay these trees were being cut down. So there was a lot of noise from the cutting, and the worst is that the view won't be the same with these trees gone.

- room: nice and comfortable. for the price really decent - pool: nice pool with loungers, well kept. - location: I really liked the location. it was close to the main center, but also far enough to be away from the noise (with an exception, see the 'dislikes'. Do watch out as to get to the town center you have to walk on the street (mostly no pavement) that gets quite busy during the day. - staff: very nice. helpful and friendly. I'd give 9/10 only because sometimes this was over the top even. I'm a person that likes to be left alone until I come with a question/request/need. But this is not faulting the staff, it's a general Bali culture.

It’s a but rough to walk with kids around because there are no sidewalks and the road can have a lot traffic (but is walkable). Lots of Ubers or rides if needed.

Cute little property with the nicest and helpful staff. Really nice rooms.

I was in Ubud for a few days and felt the most welcomed at this hotel. Staff was always attentive and helpful. Close to the main road with lots of restaurants and spa, if you're on a budget this is a good place

It’s convenient 400meters away from downtown and invites to a nice walk to explore ubud, but still it’s as peaceful as if we were in the middle of the rice fields. The room is comfortable and super clean. The staff is super friendly and always helpful.

Nothing

We loved everything about Swahita, it was clean, conveniently located and the swimming pool was perfect for a family. Everybody involved in the running of the hotel were fabulous, you won’t find more pleasant, helpful people. We loved them and they were great with our children. We will be back!

The way to Ubud centre is dark at evening and a little bit dangerous for us because no pavement. I understand that It is not the hotel's fault but it is a minus. Breakfast is a bit limited but the fruit juice is delicious.

Swahita is good hotel for people who likes the quiet environment like us. There is a pool, that is a Plus to Swahita. More, staff is a big plus of the hotel. They are very kind, friendly and supportive.
