We received a lovely welcome drink on arrival and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. They were very welcoming and are an asset to the hotel. The room itself was extremely comfy and had a great shower. It was generally quiet which made for a very relaxing stay. We ordered room service which was very well priced.

The location is very close to Ubud but if we were to stay again we would probably stay closer to the main streets. It’s hard to walk about so getting transport was essential which often meant sitting in traffic for 30 minutes on way to a dinner reservation. We felt a lack of privacy as our balcony was very open and staff would come round twice daily to make up the room - they would tend to show up about 5pm when we were showering and getting ready for dinner.

After experiencing firsthand the absolute horror show of traffic and congestion in Ubud city center, I’m beyond ecstatic to have chosen Merak Village. It’s an easy walk into town as well as the Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace and the Elephant Cave, all while being so far removed from the commotion of town. The property is beautifully manicured yet feels so wild in nature. A beautiful pool is at the center of attention with ample sitting/lounging areas throughout the property. I opted for the included breakfasts which were beyond filling all while being incredibly healthy and meticulously prepared. Daily tea service with a snack really was an added bonus. Massage suite in-site with literally the best pricing in town for either 60 or 90 minute services. Spacious, clean and comfortable rooms with tons of natural light that fills the space. But, what really makes this place is the staff. Such incredibly kind, genuine and caring souls that go out of their way to make sure that your ultimate comfort is obtained, all with beautiful smiles across their faces. You truly do feel at home here.

Such a fantastic hotel. The pool is amazing. The staff is lovely. The food was very nice. We had an amazing stay.

I personally didn't mind, but some people could have a problem with the amount of crickets and nearby roosters making noise at any time of the day.

Hotel makes you feel like living in a jungle. Wll designed with nice swimming pool and tasty breakfasts. Staff really welcoming and always ready to help. You can rent a bike (from 100.000 per day) right at reception

Quite away from cafes and activities. Also ask for a quite room if you are a light sleeper. As there is very early awaeking cock, which starts screaming at 5-30 :)

I absolutely loved my stay at Merak Village! The place is very well mentioned by super professional and friendly staff, there is a beautiful shrine and if you ask the staff they will teach you the traditional balinese way of praying, they do prayers and flower offerings every day burning incents all around the property which creates beautiful vibe and fills the space with pleasant scents. There is a river running through the property and the soothing soud of running water makes it even more relaxing. I had a great massage too and the food was delicious (not many vegan/vegetarian options on the menu BUT I asked the staff to substitute chicken with mushrooms and they were happy to do it for me). Great value for money. This place is perfect to rest and recover 🥰

Merak Village is a peaceful retreat away from the bustling traffic and crowds of Ubud, which we really appreciated. Despite this, it remains highly accessible to all nearby attractions. A special shoutout to Ashi, the receptionist, who made our stay exceptional. She helped us arrange transportation, provided personalized recommendations based on our preferences, and ensured every detail of our travel plans was taken care of. The rooms were great, the service was excellent, and the leafy outlook were lovely. Overall, it’s a peaceful and pleasant place to stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ubud!

Some rooms don’t face the courtyard and instead look into the reception area. Fortunately, we were able to switch rooms after the first day. Had we stayed in one of these rooms for the entire duration, our experience might not have been as enjoyable.

Fast check-in. Welcome drink. Clean pool with different depth levels. Tea at 5 o'clock with dessert. Very tasty dinner. Excellent choice for breakfast and it was very tasty. Daily cleaning. Tea, coffee, daily water in glass bottles in the room. Clean bed linen, towels. Good water pressure, cold and hot, in the shower. Everything as described, only better. I would like to thank all the staff, especially Ayu for the wonderful feeling of home, Dewa for the absence of problems, Nengah for the perfectly prepared breakfasts and dinners.

Everything was wonderful.

Very nice and modern stay just a fee minutes outside Ubud city center (by scooter). The room was very clean and modern. The personell is very helpfull and friendly. It was a short but pleasant stay.

The only thing we mentioned to the front desk is the fact that a bugscreen in the bathroom for the vents would be helpfull to prevent critters coming in, the bathroom has open vents and the hotel is surrounded by nature.

The value for money is great. It is really clean, top service, nice bed/bathrooms, swimmingpool, good airconditioning for a really good price for ubud. Thoughtful staff: We did a mount batur tour from here and the staff made sure we had a breakfast box to go at 2 am. Also a nice welcome drink upon arrival.

Massage/spa could have been better. I would suggest putting on a calming music and make the room smell nice. Now it smelled a little dusty in there. The masseuse was also on her phone during the massage and therefore only used one hand… The neighbours have a rooster and chickens which make a lot of noise. The location is ok but walking 30 mins to the center of Ubud is tough with all the traffic. However the center is really close when going by scooter or car.

The hotel was beautiful and really made excellent use of the incredible natural setting of the island. The river running through was charming and the plants everywhere were lovely. The staff were wonderful - warm, helpful and thoughtful. They even decorated my room with flowers and got a cake to celebrate my birthday! The room was comfortable and clean, and because it’s a smaller hotel it never felt too busy.

The location wasn’t quite as central as I had expected. It was about a 30 minute walk to the main areas of town but the conditions aren’t ideal (uneven or lack or sidewalks, hot); ride shares were an option but the traffic is pretty intense, so that does require some patience.
