I stayed here alone and from the first moment of arrival the staff made me feel like I was part of a family! Every one of them was accommodating at all times, smiling, friendly and helpful. I stayed in Rumah Tingah which is up a winding set of stairs and perfect for a singleton or couple, although the bathroom would... More

Brenda, the owner, is such an accomodating host! Desa is clean and everyone is very friendly. We felt completely at home here. Stayed here twcie already and both times have been great! We used the massage room in their home and that was incredible. The massage room overlooks rice fields with a really nice massage table. I was a big... More

My partner and I stayed for 10 days in June/July 2011. The staff and wonderful and helpful and everyone and the accommodation exceeded our expectations. We were so happy with everything. This is where we will stay every year we come to Bali! I am even brining my mother this time! The food is excellent - I think I tried... More

My wife and I originally booked just two nights of a 5 night trip to Bali here however we loved Ubud/Desa Sanctuary so much we extended to 5. Tucked away off one of the main roads leading into Ubud the sanctuary is a lush green compound with the houses set around a great little swimming pool. We stayed in Rumah... More

My husband and I have just returned from a splendid stay at Desa Sanctuary (Rumah David). The staff is extremely helpful, the ambiance is true paradise, and the ready availability of a knowledgable, low-cost driver to tour the area made it one of the best vacations we've every had. We enjoyed ounging by the pool as well. Only the rosters... More

My family and I just returned from a 2.5 week vacation in Bali. There were nine of us in our group with ages ranging from 11 to 65. We rented out all of the units at the Desa Sanctuary for 7 nights. Some of us didn't make it that long. Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast, particularly the... More

Thank You Desa Sanctuary for a wonderful place to stay while we were in Ubud. We loved every minute of our 8 day stay... From the moment we walked in the beautiful doors of the sanctuary we were taken care of by the wonderful, smiling, caring staff. Our breakfasts which were included in the cost were always fresh and delicious,... More

We stayed in the larger cabin and found the amenities to be very nice. The fittings and furniture are beautiful, the beds so comfortable. The pool and garden areas are lovely. It is located on at the bottom of a steep drive and we had some "taxi drivers" refuse to take us all the way down, but the short walk... More

This wasn't for us. We got one of the smaller houses here - not as enticing as it looks on the website, shower didn't work and we really didn't like being asked by a staff member's husband EVERY DAY if we wanted to go on a tour. The Sanctuary is located on a very busy road, and quite far from... More
