This is a fantastic resort. The villas are astounding. The 2 public pools both have amazing views. The private pools are cosy. The whole place is lovely and quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious. Very accommodating after having problems with a different hotel. The free shuttle service in to Ubud is very helpful. A great experience, could not recommend enough. Perfect for a romantic hideaway.

We had a suite with “garden view” which was actually a roof view. The pool is cold because it’s not heated and is in the shadow in the afternoon. The environment can be noisy in the morning with the rooster crowing early in the morning, the dogs barking during the day and the construction. The infinity pool has a nice view but the sun beds are very dirty. The WiFi is pretty slow. On a positive note, the hotel is located close to Ubud center (10’ with the hotel shuttle departing every hour) The staff is welcoming and helpful when it comes to organizing tours, activities and transfers to other cities. Rooms are spacious and power sockets adaptors are provided.

Dwaraka was such a beautiful place to spend our 5 days in Ubud. It is just a bit out of Central Ubud, but you can either walk to it or use their free shuttle service. It was nice because they were close enough to central ubud so you can enjoy your activities, shop and eat but far enough where you can enjoy some tranquility and peace. We had our 1 bedroom villa with a pool overlooking the rice terrace and I was obsessed with the pool. Our room was huge with two outside showers and 1 inside shower, a tub and a clean bathroom. I loved our location. Our rate came with free breakfast which was a la carte and made to order along with free afternoon tea. We took advantage of their breakfast because it was just that good, they had an extensive breakfast menu for both western and Indonesian breakfast selections along with juices, coffee and tea. Breakfast was my favorite part of our stay. We enjoyed their buy one get one free cocktail happy hour though. Their dinner menu was very limited though so best to go elsewhere. Here are some things that kept me from giving them a 5 star review which is clearly biased and personal - We did our laundry service with them and placed our clothes in a bag that was already provided in the room. So when they did laundry for us, they kept their used bag. Upon check out, they were trying to make us pay for that bag because it was missing from the room. After communicating that it was taken by their staff during laundry service - they finally understood. However, we pay a lot per night for the room. So even if we decided to take the bag.. Really? You're going to try to charge us for something that small and petty? We paid for a villa but you're going to hunt us down for a small blue bag that's worth about 5k for 15k. Also they lost a few of my items during laundry services - which I guess I can't complain since they put a disclaimer that they aren't responsible for lost items. Even though they're the ones handling it. They do provide on site spa services but it's about 3-4x the value of a spa in Central Ubud. Don't do it. It's a rip off. We didn't do it, but we went to Rebulan Spa, which was about less than 15 min walking distance, and it was only about 120k per person (amazing spa btw, we highly recommend) whereas Dwaraka charged nearly 400k per person. I understand it's a resort so things are going to be a bit up priced due to convenience but that's just plain greedy lol. We already has a contact with a driver when we needed a ride to go to the harbor. He only charged us 300k, whereas dwaraka was going to charge us 450k. Again, I understand to up charge base for convenience but we did not feel like the staff was trying to take care of us at all. Whereas we went to a cottage in Nusa Penida and their front staff helped arranged all our pick ups and drop offs for a more than reasonable price. Dwaraka - do better. It was a beautiful stay but we wouldn't come back. For the price we paid for, we expected a lot better in terms of price negotiations for transfers. And not to try to swindle us for more money for a misplaced bag that your own staff took.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, we stayed here for our honeymoon in a private pool villa and it was amazing. Felt like we were in our own world and was the perfect relaxing location that we had wanted. The staff are so friendly and smiley, and go above and beyond to help with every request. They also provide a delicious freshly cooked breakfast, an afternoon tea and unlimited water. We miss it already and hope we can go back, maybe for our anniversaries!

Came here for the good review on Google. However overall I was quite disappointed: 1. The wardrobe light is not functioning in the villa I stay (601). On my first night around 2 am in the midnight, the light starts flashing crazily, like a scene in horror movie. I have to use a pillow to block the light. 2. There are many ants and bugs in the 1st floor bathroom Overall the villa is nice outside, but there are many detailed things can be improved in the villa.

Amazing historical resort just 20 minutes walk from the center of Ubud. Some of the villas are basically their own temple complexes, with several rooms placed around a central altar in a walled courtyard. There are two different pools. The rooms were very comfortable and service was wonderful. Definitely a highlight of our Bali trip.

One of the few properties where the pictures don't do it justice - this is a beautifully decorated and designed hotel. The mossy and worn, yet, detailed rock sculptures that are in abundance (including in the room areas) make one feel surrounded by the history of the land (though I confess I am just barely a layman on the subject). The greenery that abounds and (I presume) is carefully tended to only accentuates the feeling of being immersed in the local landscape that one associates with the tropics. The ambience is easy to settle into and wallow in. The pools are nice and clean. The villa pools are also well maintained, though the showers next to them may not work all that well. The rooms are glorious. Large and luxurious, we actually had three showers, a separate WC area and a bathtub 'outside', and plenty of storage, sitting and general living space. There was actually a sitting area next to the pool in the form of beach loungers and then a table and chair set to have breakfast on or just to sit at and listen to the birds. There's also a work table inside for those with a laptop/diary/what-have-you and matters that need attending on it. Lighting is very 'mood' and can be charming, but if you like bright lights, you might be a little annoyed. You are also likely to be sharing your room with a few small geckos/house lizards and you'll often chance upon 'evidence' of their presence in little spots. Internet access is a little sketchy. The property gives guests a fair number of access points (so wifi signal is rarely an issue) but the service provider's connection was down half the time we were there. The staff are always polite and courteous and have a ready smile for any questions. Oddity: breakfast isn't a buffet - it's an all-you-can-eat a la carte - so place order after order, it'll be prepared and served for you. I recommend you try their Nasi Goreng, it's quite good and they'll make a half portion if you request them to. You can order a 'floating breakfast' in the morning, which is a nice novelty. Room service is also easily available. Access to Ubud market is a 1.7km walk though what can fast become a slightly dark alley in the evenings - but is easy to use in daylight. That said, the hotel offers a once-every-couple-of-hours cab service till about ten in the night (last pick up from Ubud market), and it's a great convenience - but sometimes there's too many people and too little space. So, well, ymmv. The spa is okay, the massage offerings are not too bad - but not that great either. And as other reviewers have mentioned, it's quite expensive. It's cheaper to look up options in Ubud market and go by reviews. You'll save quite a bit if that's important. In summary though, unless the few issues I mentioned are deal-breakers for you, I absolutely recommend that you try this property for a few nights if you happen to be staying in Ubud.

I will start by stating a fact… this is the best resort you can find in Ubud (and probably Bali). We booked a villa with private swimming pool which was jaw dropping beautiful, had 3 showers, a bathtub, our own infinity pool, and 7 star hospitality to go with it. Not just because it is beyond beautiful and the food is a class apart. But because of the hospitality they offer. Me and my wife were taken care of beyond our expectations and blown away by how helpful every member of the staff was. And I will have to mention Ayu (might be misspelled) but she took care of all our needs from arranging transport to go to Gili to planning itineraries to helping us in the littlest things like packing our breakfast the day we had an early checkout. All in all Dwaraka sets the bar very high up which other resorts/places struggle to even come close.

Good place,, good pool, good service, helpfull staff, reasonable price.. Really enjoy our 3d2n stay... 👍

We have just returned home after an AMAZING stay at Dwarka The Royal Villas.We spent our entire 2 weeks here in the hotel in a One bedroom villa with private pool and rice field views.From the moment we arrived in the lobby after almost 24 hours travelling from Ireland,I could feel myself relax and be welcomed by the lovely smiling faces of the reception staff. The villa was big and bright and the views from the pool were amazing and made you feel immersed in nature even though we were only 5 mins from the centre. The shuttle bus was a big plus and runs ever hour from 8am and we used that most nights.We ate in the hotel many times and loved all the food we had.I really looked forward to our breakfast each morning and the staff were always so warm and welcoming and smiling. We had room service several times for lunch which we had by the pool and there was no dish that we did not enjoy. Ubud itself is a wonderful area and we did several day trips with a brilliant driver that we were lucky enough to meet(feel free to message me for contact details of the driver). I could go on for much longer but suffice to say that this is a wonderful property where you can relax in nature and be surrounded by warm and caring staff. I would be very happy to recommend this hotel to all my friends and family. Patricia

Personalized and Detailed..two words that define this Hotel! The most amazing Hotel in Bali so far.. I've been staying in quite a lot of hotels in Bali but in terms of services, never experience such a personalized services such as Dwaraka Royal Villas. Detailed amenities, cleanliness, facilities, amazing ala carte breakfast, and services was really amazing! Personalized services worth every penny..Thank you for the amazing experience. Above expectation and clearly an easy 10 out of 10 score for my experience..Will stay at this hotel again for sure!

Not too far from Ubud. In fact, the perfect distance. The place was like paradise and the hospitality was amazing. Everyone was so kind and accommodating and made the experience really pleasant. The rooms were really something to behold, and would put (where I’m from) London to shame! It felt like I was in the middle of a tropical paradise. HOWEVER! there are some Gekos around, nothing bad, just warming you if you’re scared of anything like that. They’re not invasive and having traveled around Bali and islands around, it’s very common (besides I’m sure they were there first). Anyways! Thank you Dwarka, if I could give an official hotel rating it would be 5 stars (From Thulani & Mariah)

The rooms are not really cleaned before check-in and even during the stay the cleaning is bad. Linens are not changed even if staying for 4 nights. The toiletries and edible items are not replenished daily. The service attitude shown by some restaurant staffers is pathetic. The shuttle to Ubud main Street is only once every 2 hours. In other times we might need to use taxis as hotel around 2 km from Ubud market. Overall i would say this hotel is a royal loot.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Dwaraka! The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the staff was very welcoming and helpful, breakfast was very tasty and with plenty of options to choose from (we loved the dadar gulung 😍), the pool is great to relax! The location is a bit farther from Ubud center, but the hourly shuttle from the hotel made it very easy and convenient to reach the main areas of Ubud. The welcoming foot massage was a nice add-on which made the stay even more enjoyable. Thank you Dwaraka for making our stay in Ubud such a wonderful time!

Dwarka Villas Ubud is absolutely amazing! Would go back! The hotel is so beautiful and the staff is extremely nice and accommodating. We booked a driver named Gin from the hotel to take us on a tour around Ubud and he was fantastic! If you are there and want a driver Gin is a MUST! He’s amazing! Overall a great experience staying at the hotel.

We had amazing stay at this beautiful place in Ubud. We booked villa with rice-field view, it was so beautiful. Staff was so amazing and helpful. Special thanks to lovely girl Itta at the reception and driver/guide Koming there is nothing to complain everything was perfect. Food was also amazing. They even packed breakfast for us at 5AM

We stayed at Dwaraka Royal Villas for 1 week and had an amazing stay. Rooms are clean, service is amazing, breakfast à la carte was included, food at the restaurant was really good. They have a free shuttle service to center of Ubud every 2 hours which is quite useful. Anything you need just ask and they will find a solution. Thank you for an amazing stay. Would definitely recommend.

True Bali vibe.. we stay at the presidential villa, very spacious, complate amenities and facilities. good view. Balinese architecture and design all well maintained.. good service and food

I can just it was amazing experience. Everything was super- good food , good ambiance, staff was very helpful. In sort, it’s worth it.

I stayed at the Villa with private pool which is very spacious enough and nice pool & rice terrace view. Hotel staff are very attentive and helpful. I definitely want to go back this hotel again.

DISGRACEFUL SERVICE & DISHONEST STAFF. Upon arrival we were told by several staff members our room had an electricity problem and we were moved to another resort. We came to see the room the next morning and were told it was not ready, Electrical still not working. We knocked on the door of the presidential suite we booked and another family was staying in our room! They had been upgraded due to an issue with their villa. Shutters broken in rooms, plus rooms next to main walkways making it hard to have a dark quiet room to sleep. Very little amenities in kitchen, no cutlery etc. Pool was amazing, but you may not get to enjoy it if they lie to you and redirect you to another resort.

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding in Ubud. Our check in was efficient and all the staff is welcoming. Everyone wore a mask and adhered to Covid regulations, so you felt safe being here. The room was huge with enough space for storage. One thing I particularly loved was the large water jug to refill bottles. Most hotels provide you with 500ml of water a day, but honestly everyone drinks more than that! They made sure you were always hydrated. Another great thing was that they provided a drying rack - you can hang your towels or swim suits without hoping it didn’t fly over the balcony with the wind. Room service was also very good 👍🏼 Breakfast was also very tasty and they also offer espresso in case coffee isn’t enough for you in the morning. There are two pools, so you can choose whichever one you want. The gym facility is quite outdated and small, so we didn’t use it. The spa is small and quaint. I got a massage which was good, but the masseuse kept coughing (luckily she had a mask on). I also got my nails done before the wedding - there are maybe 4 colors of red and pink you can choose from. It wasn’t the best quality, but I still tipped as I know Bali really suffered during Covid no travel times. If you are used to western style manicures/pedicures, don’t come here. The staff is very friendly and always remembered our names. The rooms are quite far apart from each other so you don’t really hear guests, unless they are kids screaming at the pool. The hotel also offers complimentary drop off to and from the city center, as it is located a bit outside the city. In case you need to go elsewhere, they can also arrange transport and you can charge it to your room. One thing that annoyed me was that our bathroom had openings at the top of the wall that was opened to the villages next door. Every early morning until late day, roosters would constantly crow - so you could not really sleep in. The bed was very firm but comfortable. My side of the bed kind of had a dip as the mattress was old and very used. The air conditioner also worked well. On the balcony, there was a couch set up for lounging, so it was nice to be there and read a book. All in all our stay here was enjoyable and we would stay here again. Thank you for making our experience great!

My partner and I stayed here while visiting Ubud. The location is great, as it's close enough to have a quick trip via free shuttle to the city centre, however far enough way to feel like you are secluded. They offered many extra amenities, such as free bike hike, which added to the stay. Breakfast is included in the cost with an A La Carte menu and they also offer dinner and cocktail service, making it the perfect place to relax after a long day. All the staff were attentive and beyond helpful for any need or want you may have. Would recommend staying here.

The perfect spot to stay in Ubud. Everything was clean, service was excellent and there's no other place in Ubud that can have such a beautiful stay and seeing rice fields from the swimming pool. Buildings are still new so it's a guaranteed great place too

"Private pool villa heaven " Lovely quiet spot outside Ubud with views of paddy fields. Booked a pool villa and asked for privacy and got a lovely villa at the bottom of the property directly overlooking the jungle. Very spacious suites and well appointed. Superb in room dining although the main breakfast was a bit meagre. Great spa service, if a little pushy. Nice to have the regular shuttle service into Ubud and an on-demand return service back to the hotel.

Amazing Private Villa and Pool. Beautiful Balinese style villa surrounded by lush gardens, very relaxing and quiet with restaurants and cafes nearby. About 20-30 minute walk to Ubud town or a 5 minute drive. The staff are warm, friendly and nothing is a problem. I left my phone at the villa on the day I was flying home and before I realised 'Bagus' (staff member) was already on his bike riding the 1.5 hour drive to the airport to hand deliver my phone - very kind. Thank you we love Ubud and the very beautiful Dwaraka Royal Villas. Highly recommend... Julie + Nik X

An amazing place about 15-20 minutes drive from up north from Ubud Palace. The entrance is not quite obvious, but the rooms are excellent. Very picturesque and have a romantic vibe to them. Breakfast is complete with fresh juices, pancakes, tea and coffee, bread basket which comes with butter and muffins and croissants. Rooms are maintained with attention to all.the delicate details. Staff is meticulous with their management and service. Had the best time here while in Ubud. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Bali/Ubud for the first time.
