We stayed at Plataran for four nights, and overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plataran is a hidden oasis in Ubud. Despite its central location in the city, the hotel rooms are set far away from the busy streets. We were impressed by the expansive size of the resort, which is surrounded by spacious patches of paddy fields and tropical bushes. The view from every corner of the hotel is absolutely stunning, and we took numerous beautiful photos during our stay. We were also delighted with our suite room, which was spacious and comfortable. It featured a balcony with two cosy chairs, facing the swimming pool, lush garden, and a rice field. The buffet breakfast offered a variety of tasty options, including Indonesian cuisine and Western-style dishes. We had no complaints about the food. The staff at Plataran were welcoming and friendly. We received warm greetings from the staff wherever we encountered them during our stay. We also made use of the gym a couple of times in the morning. We appreciated the well-equipped fitness house with floor-to-ceiling glass, which provided a pleasant view of the beautiful rice fields and playful ducks while we worked out. Additionally, we tried the spa, and it was a very relaxing and satisfying experience.

The only issue we encountered was that we could hear music playing throughout the day from our room, starting at 7 am in the morning. Fortunately, they turned it off before bedtime. Don't get us wrong – we love music. However, the repetitive instrumental sound we heard was a bit annoying, and we understand that it is a traditional Balinese music style, as we heard it at other places too. It became bothersome when we were trying to relax on our balcony or when we were woken up by it at 7 am. We're not sure if this can be heard from other rooms, as our room was located on the ground floor and adjacent to the road.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautifully situated property, surrounded by lush rice paddies, animals and nature . Love the restaurant's panoramic views, especially during breakfast and afternoon tea. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The location was ideal for yoga enthusiasts like ourselves, being adjacent to Yoga Barn and Lumeria studios. Numerous restaurants and shops were also within walking distance. The staff were friendly and responsive, making our stay truly enjoyable!

The shower could be improved (non-adjustable handheld shower, malfunctioning rain shower, and water spillage onto the floor). Housekeeping could be improved (dirty cups were not cleaned).

The staff were wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable with a lovely view out across the pool, and the balcony was nice to stand out on. The breakfast restaurant had a beautiful outlook, and the breakfasts were lovely. A smallish continental style buffet (with lots of fruit to choose from) and then a choice of mains (both Balinese and European from the menu.) Position of the hotel is super - you feel as if you are in the countryside, and yet you are only a stone's throw from the main areas of Ubud. There is a lane that takes you from the guest bedrooms to the main restaurant which then leads out onto one of the main roads in Ubud. It took us about 30 minutes to walk to the Palace and the main market, although the hotel helped us with taxis, and made everything very easy if we wanted to get anywhere.

The staff are so welcoming, everyday. After 5 days' stay, we can see ourselves staying here again if we would come to Ubud. The location is very central, with many good restaurants within 5-10 minutes of walk. The views throughout in the resort was pleasant and the place allows us to unwind immediately. With much to discover within the resort, experiencing them was not hard at all as everything feels so well-planned and spaced out. The rooms are clean with good working air-conditioning system. Excellent care was put into the breakfast. And the nightly snacks we received at our room are very pleasant surprises!

Amazing place in the center of Ubud. Great breakfast and beautiful facilities, the pool, the rice paddies, yoga barn. Highly recommend the massage at the hotel spa, very relaxing and reasonably priced. I didn't have to pre-book, just rocked up one night and they were able to accommodate immediately. If you would like to do yoga at the Yoga Barn, this is easily accessible at the back of the property 5min walk.

The resort area is huge so takes a bit of time to go in and out of your room, needed to factor that in when sightseeing. Also even those the hotel is technically walking distance to Ubud centre (20min on google maps), it is very difficult to walk in Ubud due to traffic and the lack of footpaths. Recommend getting a Grab or Gojiek scooter ride to get to your destination quickest. It took 3x as long by car.

My stay was an absolute delight! The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my stay was perfect. The location couldn’t be better—situated in the heart of the city, everything I needed was just a short walk away. Despite being in a busy area, the hotel itself was peaceful and quiet, offering the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The room was great for two, clean, and comfortable. Truly felt like a home away from home. Considering the excellent location, high-quality service, and comfortable accommodations, I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the stay was.

Nothing, really.

Breakfasts were great. Great hospitality from every staff esp Gusti and Novi. Staff made an effort to learn our kids names. Loved the activities provided to guests esp the afternoon teas which accompanied a craft/cultural event. Papdma spa was exceptional too. We also took part in the Traditional cooking class with Chef Budi. He was so lovely and patient with us and was a great teacher. Cant wait to cook our meals he taught us at home!

Our extra bed that we requested was a fold out bed wlith la thin mattress. Quite uncomfortable sadly.

The property is beautiful, the views from the restaurant and our room were perfect. It was such a pleasure to walk in from the bustle of the street in to such a calm and tranquil environment. Everything we ate at the restaurant was truly delicious and as a coeliac I could confidently enjoying a variety of delicious Indonesian dishes; a meal on the outdoor deck became our favorite spot in Ubud! We alternated between the two swimming pools and appreciated the opportunities to particpate in the guest activities including weaving a “kisa” & making Jamu; our interactions with all staff were warm and friendly. The hotels CHSE certification was evident and I appreciated the measures taken to be environmentally sustainable.

There was nothing to dislike.

The staff were so amazing especially the breakfast crew who went out of their way to help me find vegan alternatives. The cleaning is great. The atmosphere wonderful. The attention to detail excellent.

The room itself was small - we had two twins pushed together in from of a side tables. Because of this, it closed off the space behind us and meant we had no head board. Through the connecting door in our room, we could hear almost everything that next door was saying (well she was upset with her partner so maybe she was speaking louder than usual but still, we shouldn’t be hearing the TV and private conversations next happening next door in a 5 star hotel. Also the afternoon tea could have more variety / options for other diets.

I loved everything about the Plataran. The rooms are really comfortable and super quiet. The food at the Indonesian restaurant is excellent. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I even got a free upgrade when I arrived which was a lovely surprise. A perfect refuge from the hustle and bustle of downtown Ubud but really central and close to everything you might want to see. Highly recommended!!
