It's such a beautiful place, a sanctuary, loved my large gorgeous room, with terrace and view to lush garden, amazing bathroom, beautifully furnished, everywhere attention to detail. I only had juice and fruit for breakfast, which was delicious, but can't comment on the rest. Highly recommend.

The room was beautiful, well furnished and the bathroom was fabulous. Also loved the terrace on the 1st floor, very peaceful and private. Would definitely recommend this place.

The place is a quiet and green eden in a very nice and still authentic district. We loved the rice fields walk from the hotel. Ubud center is a nice walk too. We really recommend this lovely sanctuary!

I loved it

It was a hidden gem-oasis of peace and vibrancy of nature. I felt like I’m recharging my batteries with every hour. I loved the location, removed but walkable from the busy-mess of Ubud. The staff, a wonderful family were very attentive and friendly. Breakfasts delicious. I didn’t want to leave from there.

Nothing!

Absolutely beautiful place. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! Big spacious rooms with a lovely balcony. Felt like your own little tropical hideaway. Lots of cafes and restaurants in walking distance. Outside of busy ubud but only a 30 min walk into the centre. This place really is like a hidden gem. We were given the number for a taxi driver too and he was so helpful throughout the trip, even when we had gone down to uluwatu he recommended another taxi driver to us! Lovely people, great hotel. Would absolutely recommend to others and hopefully one day we will be back. Exceptional value for money, the massages were great too! Thank you!

Clearer signage on arrival would be an advantage. If the owners upgraded a few features to include hotel style bedlinen and towels, bathroom accessories and toiletries they could easily add 50% to the nightly rate.

The rooms are generous, comfortable and everything is very clean. The location is super, just far enough away from the centre to be peaceful but close enough to be accessible. Breakfasts are wholesome and of good quality. Staff and owners are lovely and super helpful.

Small noise on the bed (which doesn't matter if you have a great tiring day)

Everything is a 10/10 - location , comfort , place , price and staff ! Got filtered water in the room is which was very handy and it's a huge room which fits all the luggage with ease.. The front porch is great to have on rainy days to dry stuff and sunny days to relax !

Gorgeous room in beautiful lush surroundings. Amazing outdoor shower and bath. Great breakfast, pool and staff make you feel right at home. Had a wonderful massage and walked through the back gate to some lovely rice fields.

Massages we're expensive so didn't use. Only one towel was given each, no hand towels or hair towels, but when we asked second time we got more. There was only 1 light working in our bathroom out of 5. Old broken air conditioning unit left next to our room. Nice people, were there if we needed them but left us to it. Breakfast was fine but had to pay extra for bacon and it really made it into a whole better breakfast. Overall a great stay and would stay again

Lovely property, lovely rooms, great pool with cold water to swim

It is a little oasis of calm with a great location near the best early morning walk through the rice fields. It has the most amazing bathroom I’ve ever been in. You feel like you are taking a shower in a nature with rocks and plants

This place is out of the Ubud craziness, about 20 minute walk into centre. Nice and quiet with lots of little cafes and restaurants close by if you go for a wander. The host was fantastic. Loved the ethnic rooms, the outside bathroom was amazing.

The property is absolutely gorgeous! A little haven. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the lush greenery everywhere is a feast for your eyes! Everyone is so friendly, lovely and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay and would be back whenever I come back to Bali ☺️

Our room had a double bed but the single bed for the third person was not comfortable at all, the room should rather be used by 2 people. Staff was kind, the host was more into selling services. Although we were there in July, it was raining for 3 days and everything was very damp in the room (walls, air, bed linen, towels, all of our clothes).

Beautiful garden and terrace, lovely pool. Good location, nice walk into the centre. Loved the semi-outdoor bathroom. Spacious room, good breakfast.

I loved everything.

Michel is a very kind and attentive host. All the instructions were clear, and he gives you good advice on things you can do around the area. The hotel is a half-hour walk from Ubud center, which is nice because the area is far away from all the crazy traffic, and it's very quiet and relaxing at night. It's not an easy walk to the center because of the traffic, and the roads are quite steep, but you can book a Grab very easily and go everywhere. Breakfast is nice, and it's all homemade. The room is very big and comfortable; there is air-conditioning and a minifridge. The bathroom is huge. The attention to detail for the furniture is really impressive. There is also a nice patio outside each room, which is nice if you want to chill in the evening. As a solo traveler, I felt safe all the time, and I really enjoyed my stay, even if it was for a short time. Thank you very much.

We had the king room with balcony -  beautifully decorated in the traditional Balinese style, comfy beds and excellent shower. Mornings started with delicious breakfast with fresh fruit and a variety of things to choose from. The place really is a sanctuary in the middle of a busy city - peaceful and quiet with beautiful tropical garden, yet bustling downtown Ubud is a short 15 minute walk away. The spa was great, according to my family. The staff at the property were super friendly and helpful. Michel provided a lot of useful tips and info on the various attractions on the island, such as the sunrise trek to the top of mount Batur, etc., and I enjoyed our chats with him with  interesting insights into the island culture. Plenty of little shops nearby, some excellent restaurants and scooter rentals just outside the property. The Vespa Pizza restaurant is not to be missed! All in all Taman Rahasia was a really excellent choice for our 5 day stay in Ubud, and we would gladly book again.

Beautiful little piece of paradise, tucked away from a main street. Close to cafe's and restaurants and 30 minute walk to busy Ubud. Staff were exceptional. Michel and family went out of their way to make sure you have the most enjoyable stay. Spa treatments are very good. Will stay here again for sure!

Nothing

This family-owned resort is set in beautifully maintained tropical gardens, with a back gate leading to a pathway that winds through the rice fields. The rooms are huge, stylishly furnished, clean, and comfortable. The outdoor bathroom was lovely and completely private. Breakfast was delicious. After a day trip to overcrowded Ubud, we were happy we had chosen here to stay. We used the Grab App for rides to/from Ubud - cheap, quick, and reliable.

One of the dogs on the passage way into the hotel growled every time I passed by which is was a bit nervous about.

Penestanan is a lovely village close enough to Ubud to walk there. The property is very nice, the breakfast is good. The staff are nice. The rooms are spacious. The coffee shops nearby were great.
