We had a wonderful stay at Sankara Resort. The room was big, clean, and very spacious, which made it super comfortable and relaxing. We absolutely loved our private pool. It was such a nice touch and made the experience feel extra special. The free breakfast every morning was delicious, with plenty of options and great quality. The best part of our stay was definitely the staff. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and kind, and they truly made us feel at home. The only thing that could be improved is adding a door to the bathroom for a little more privacy. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend Sankara Resort if you’re looking for a relaxing stay with great service!

It was a great experience at Sankara Resort. Everything was so clean and staff were friendly and very helpful. Ambience was very beautiful and peaceful. Surroundings was very romantic and calm, I have no complain with this resort or the staff. I have tried food at their restaurant and the fruits were so sweet and coconut water was worth of having. one of the staff member helped us for capturing photos, and making our stay more memorable . I am already missing everything from this resort. Thank you sankara resort and the team for making our holiday so memorable.

The construction happening next door is very noisy and should be made clear to guests before they book. There was compensation of a free drink for the loud noise but that is not really adequate. We would have stayed somewhere else if we knew it would be that noisy. We did also complain about the price of the laundry and the shuttle bus leaving 25 minutes late from Ubud centre, and we did receive a free massage in compensation, but I don’t think I would stay here again.

The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool the spa and the restaurant was fantastic. There was a small mistake; massage charged to our account that we did not receive. Once we noticed they were happy to refund and the money was returned straight away, they were very apologetic. The grounds were so beautiful. We went in off season so it was very quiet. There is a fantastic restaurant just up the street called ‘sacred rice’ it was also amazing. Would recommend. Would return :)

The stay went acceptable. The staff are friendly and helpful, definitely showing hospitality. While the hotel appears to have a very nice view, surrounded by trees and nature, the room itself seems to need some repair. We were greeted by a clogging sink. The air inside the room also smells moldy, which made the stay in the room uncomfortable. There is visible mold on the curtain of the bathroom. We also found somebody else's sock in the gap between the two mattresses. The room can definitely use more light fixtures as well.
