    A male hotel member entered at 4am in the morning my room by using a key. If you travel alone as a female do not choose this hotel. Everyone who wants can get documentary and also copies of communication with the hotel from me which confirms written from hotelstaff what happened! This was a experience I will never forget and will always give me fear to travel alone again.

    This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at. Located amongst a stunning green jungle, the rooms were amazing, the staff were the friendliest I had come across, the in house restaurant was delicious (including breakfast was fantastic!!), and all very well priced. The hotel itself was in a perfect location with superb proximity to Ubud strip. The hotel also offers drop offs and pickups with the ease of a whatsapp message. I cannot recommend staying here higher. This is just serenity, bliss, calmness, natural beauty all in one. πŸ™πŸΌπŸ’–

    terrible experience, they confirmed by booking and then cancelled it due to the error in their system, I had to change all my plans because of it. The stuff was helpless. Very bad customer service

    Possibly the most stunning, welcoming and relaxing place I've ever stayed. The room was exceptionally appointed, the grounds were just w-o-w, the restaurant exquisite and the staff so kind and friendly. It was such a shame to have to return home to reality. I cannot recommend Ibah enough. Thank you so much.

    Spent an amazing 5 days here on vacation. The service, pool, food- all awesome. Our room was lovely. Comfortable bed and AC to keep us cool. Even the frog in the bathtub didn't bother me, it was so perfect. During tea time, try the carrot cake.. you will be in heaven! Speaking of heaven, the spa prices were very reasonable. The one downside was that the spa didn't have AC and it was quite hot in December during our stay. I really hope to return one day.

    Fantastic Staff, book a massage here, eat some meals- Maybe stay a week or two? This resort is quiet and intimate. Do you long to stay in a private luxury villa with attentive professionals awaiting your call? If yes, book now- I wish I did sooner.

    Stayed 4 nights at end June 2022. Paid $336aud per night for an Ibah suite. We are a couple with a very active 2 year old boy and I was 6.5months pregnant. All of this is important to our review! Stunning setting, incredible jungle and peaceful but next to town. Incredible balcony views. The grounds are incredible, such a huge area to maintain. Lovely friendly staff, yummy breakfasts. The resort is sadly still struggling after covid, but reduced rates for rooms help. We felt what we paid per night was still a lot. Room needed some love generally, with several minor complaints which can be expected when they have only just reopened after many months of closure. Any more significant ones (e.g. toilet leaked, sink blocked up, and blind cords broke were all fixed very quickly upon request). Wish they'd been clearer about the services yet to resume when we booked so we could've set our expectations. The shuttle in and out of town was not yet back on, which wouldn't have been a problem without a toddler and being pregnant. Afternoon tea was not on, restaurant was not back open other than breakfast. Had to choose brekky options and timing the night before which was a bit annoying- on holiday not wanting to plan, and 2 year olds often have different wake up ideas day to day! Main thing that was hard was the unsuitability for toddlers. Sorry Warwick Ibah, but it's just not great for young kids. We are not super precious and rented a villa with a pool elsewhere we loved, but the hazards at Warwick Ibah were on a whole new level! Slippy pathways, big drop offs on balconies with low walls, ability to lock themselves in bathrooms, steep steps, steps at door thresholds, couches so high that falling off would result in injury, etc. It was exhausting not being able to look away for 30 seconds. If we were without our toddler I'm sure it would've felt very different though, I just want to share this for other parents of active toddlers. Finally, rooms are all very bespoke. Don't expect the room to look exactly like the photos from the booking page, each has it's own unique character. The hotel staff kindly moved us when we expressed our disappointment in the room we were first given in comparison to the photos we expected. In summary, either get a bargain room or check what services are yet to start; and don't take an active toddler. I really wish Warwick Ibah all the best in recovering from covid times- the wonderful staff and incredible property deserve it!

    IBAH hotel is the real paradise that still keep original Ubud spirit. First time I was here in 2012 when most part of contemporary Ubud 2023 just didn't exist. Getting to the hotel territory you have deep in to the jungle surround. It's quiet and peaceful. Hotel has a quite big land with old threes and beautiful garden. It's so nice to walk over the cozy villas. They all are very private with own garden and some of them with own swimming pool. Hotel has a great team. Guys are very friendly and helpful. You can ask any inquiry any time via whatsapp , it's so easy! We have used a local kitchen every day. Food was brilliant. I really appreciate this unforgettable stay and hope one day to return.

  • 1/5 Vishal S. 6 months ago on Google
    Had one of the worst possible experiences ever with Ibah , firstly the day we checked in we had to wait more than 30 mins to be allotted a room…. The room allotted was completely a mess , the basic amenities were not working … the air conditioner was not working the ceiling fan in the room was not working and the bathroom was clogged and no amenities in the room and toothbrush and toothpaste were not there ….. after more than 3-4 hours of back and forth we got moved to another room which was upstairs and we complied and they our room would be fixed by the next day …. In day two they said our room could not be fixed and shifted us further to another room which went okay until their house keeping staff barged into the room unannounced while my wife and i were in the shower!!! This is completely unacceptable and not a safe place for anyone to stay…. Please take some action to possibly remove them from your website as this is not the experience we hoped for on our honeymoon . Please do not make the mistake of choosing this as it goes against the basic principles of any hotel let alone one that is rated as a 4 Star Hotel.

    First trip to Bali and we stayed here for 2 nights. We arrived at 11pm and the staff made our food delivered it fresh! Ibah looks like something out if a fairytale. The staff were so friendly and the location is prime, close enough to walk to the main part of Ubud but also far enough away the it was always peaceful. The Campuhan trail is right by the entrance to Ibah and definitely recommended for a nice early morning stroll before the humidity kicks in.

    This place is magic. If one wants to imagine a fairy's garden, this is what it would probably look like. It's so calming and beautiful. The staff is lovely and truly makes an effort to make the stay great. I also like the conscious approach to reducing plastic waste - up to the q-tips in the bathroom lovingly tied with a banana leaf. For turndown, there's an arrangement of banana leaf, a flower petal and a reflective message. Thoughtful and different. It's not far to walk into Ubud, but they also offer a shuttle service. This is definitely a place to come back to. Again and again.

    One of the best places we have ever stayed in 20 years. Amazing location. Staff did everything with smile to make the stay comfortable. We had the treetop and Ibah suites. The sound of the river underneath was very soothing. You can go down to the river close to the nearby temple at the meeting point of the campuhan river. Starting point of the ridge walk is next door. Ubud Town is easily accessible by foot or by the hotel shuttle which is complimentaryand easily available. They have recently opened after the pandemic and are doing everything to be up and running. Food was tastefully prepared at breakfast and dinner. The poolside setting is just magical. It felt like a private pool. We wish the very best and hopefully they will have even better photos as the current ones do not do full justice to the beauty and charm of the place. There is an inherent peace about the place which can only be experienced in person.

    It's difficult to find words to describe this place... There is a mystical feeling to the natural environment that surrounds the villas. The staff go above and beyond to be of service. Food is first class and the villa is like a palace. I feel like a princess when I stay here. It's a cut above anything else in Ubud in my opinion πŸ™πŸ˜Š

    Surrounded by Nature, awake with the sound of the river and birds absolutely always made my morning everytime I stay here. Friendly and a very helpful staff, amazing massage, ancient vibes at the swimming pool, also I almost love every rooms that I stayed in. Especially 208. The hotel is next to Campuhan Walk! What a great location for morning walk.

    I have had such a wonderful experience here. Dropped off as a mistake by a driver and my husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed the spa and the restaurant. The Pepes Ikan was the most delicious meal I've had while in Bali, try the roasted chicken, and the breakfast either Indonesian or Western won't disappoint. The staff are welcoming and charming; Adi, Ratni and Made really gave us a fulfilling experience. The grounds are stunning and peaceful. Please come this hidden gem.

    Where to begin? IBAH has become my favourite place to stay at in Bali. My first stay was in February 2023. I work overseas on an 8 weeks in, 1-2 weeks out contract. In February, I made a last-minute decision to come to Bali and saw that the one bedroom pool villa at IBAH was available. All of the reviews describing it as a secret garden/hidden sanctuary still close to the heart of Ubud caught my eye. I was dealing with an extended period of burnout and looking for the perfect place in Bali to rest and reset. The pictures of the pool and all of the beautiful stonework and greenery were the final seller. So with one week’s notice I booked the one bed pool villa πŸŒ΄πŸ§˜πŸ»β€β™€οΈI had such an amazing time that I've stayed here twice again this year, and I know I’ll be back! 😊 Everything: the service, the rooms, the atmosphere, the location: is perfect and if you are looking for an oasis to rest, relax, and use as a springboard to explore the rest of Ubud, you won't be disappointed. IBAH is family-run and even by Balinese standards, the staff are so warm and friendly and will make you feel at home. Service is 10/10 and you can reach the front desk anytime through WhatsApp, very easy communication. The landscaping on the grounds is incredible and you can see nature really thriving. You don't have to worry too much about bugs as the geckos, water monitor lizards, and birds keep them at bay! Otherwise the sounds of the river running nearby and singing birds add to this beautiful gem. There are yoga studios like Intuitive Flow, Alchemy, and Ubud Yoga House nearby, but you might want to just stay and do your yoga / meditation practice outside your room, and soak in all the senses: the smell of incense, chirping of birds and running water, maybe the faint sound of a gamelan band practicing, etc… this is traditional Balinese charm at its best πŸ™πŸΌ One of the best parts is proximity to Campuhan Ridge. Each of my stays has been about a week long. One of the best ways to start the day is a sunrise (or shortly after sunrise) walk to Campuhan Ridge before it gets too hot, perhaps through to Bangkiang Sidem village to admire the rice fields, and come back for breakfast at IBAH. Then the pool is waiting for you. During my second visit / in July 2023, I was fortunate enough to be staying during at IBAH the same time as the royal cremation. IBAH took care to leave guests notices about the ceremony in their room, and during breakfast, Tjok Ibah himself was walking around the restaurant personally inviting guests to observe the funeral procession and cremation at the temple. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I was so grateful to have witnessed it! IBAH has become a second home in Bali and I can't wait to visit more in the future. Thank you to all the IBAH staff for making each stay so special!

    One of the most beautiful and atmospheric places I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. We spent 5 nights at the magical IBAH, in one of their mid-range suites. It's hard to do this place justice in a few words, but to me its reminiscent of King Louie's palace from the original Jungle Book - intricate stonework covered in moss and greenery abounds, and around every corner there is another tiny half forgotten shrine or nook. The staff were all delightful, the food was excellent and the location was close to the bustle of Ubud while also feeling like being in a remote and secret corner of Bali. One of the most pleasurable experiences of staying at IBAH is felt every time you walk off the road and move from the cacophany of traffic to the serenity of the hotel's serene pathways, the sudden immersion in the sounds of the rainforest is a truly beautiful moment. We will definitely be coming back to IBAH as soon as we can! (one final note: we stayed here with a 2 year old toddler and a months old baby, and it was absolutely fine - as always, our children needed to be supervised but the staff were particularly warm hearted and welcoming towards our youngsters)

    A big thank to all the staff for making our stay at this amazing place absolutely perfect! The What’s App communication with reception is a fantastic system! Shuttle back and forth to Ubud is fantastic and the hotel is only a 5 minute walk into town. A very special place with special staff. The suites, grounds, pool, service are all amazing Thank you πŸ™πŸ½

    The room is very authentic with the worthy price. The ambiance is very traditional which emphasizes "the Bali thing"

  • 5/5 Naseema M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful location and great property that's private and quiet and peaceful. Amazing staff, great spacious rooms. Much better than the 3 star rating it has. I'm a tourism professional and I know the standard.

  • 5/5 Paige A. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning! We had a Royal Villa and could not fault it. You can't go wrong with any options here. Staff were fabulous. Free shuttle to and around centre of Ubud get close enough to walk. Lovely breakfast which we had in room one morning. I cried arriving as it was so stunning and cried leaving because I just wanted to stay!!

  • 4/5 Tess C. 4 years ago on Google
    Very comfortable. Our friends were staying here and the hotel was okay with us popping in one afternoon for a swim and afternoon tea. The service was excellent and pools fabulous. Only negative was uneven paving and some very slippery areas which we were more aware of due to twisting an ankle elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Maribel M. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing hotel and staff. Loved the breakfast and tea service. The staff to guest ratio is high so they knew our names. They arrange a lot of things for you whether a cooking class or tour. We loved that they had a shuttle that took us around Ubud. Note this hotel is not handicap friendly (not wheelchair accessible) a lot of stairways. Feels like this hotel is nestled right into nature. We would stay here again.
