The property is sooo beautiful, was better than the photos. Just lovely...gardens, buildings, cafe all very beautiful. The staff is beyond lovely, can't do enough for you and are just genuinely nice people working in the right industry for their sweet dispositions and personalities. They went over and above to care for me. The cafe was unique in the variety of food served and everything I had was flavorful and delicious. I took the shortcut through the money forest, on the side where all the bikes go and it was just a short walk to town. Easy and quicker than Grab, thru all the traffic. I would highly recommend Swasti for a quiet, peaceful and welcoming stay in Ubud area.

Maybe the spa facilities? It sounds like they are upgrading them and will be offering more, once that's completed.

The place itself was magical and very close to nature. U can do morning walk in the hotel, everything was authentic and calming here. The staffs and their hospitality wins everything. They are very kind and helpful. They helped to pack our breakfast as we had to leave early in the morning for sunrise trip. The breakfast is good and lovable, the bed is comfy and the room is rather rustic, woody style and they have an open concept toilet with their own organic soap and shampoo. The water pressure and aircond in the room are good too. Overall, i really enjoy the calming Ubud vibe here.

We were here during the rainy season. 1. The path to reach the hotel is quite far from outside, we had no option but to do the walking in rain but we were helped by staffs with our baggage. Beware as there were frogs everywhere too :D 2. Our room accidentally leak causing the bed to be wet. We had to move our bags at area with no leakage. Anyhow, the staffs manage to move our bed and later we were offered to be placed at another room. They even offer us few desserts as n apology. Thanks to the staffs for their help and great hospitality.

The beautiful gardens and pool. The food was also beyond amazing and there were heaps of gluten free options. Very healthy but delicious, I feel like I did a detox without really realising! The staff were all beautiful people; we will keep in touch with several of them.

Cinta room smelled a little bit musty or mouldy but it’s so humid all the time so it’s not surprising. I think we stayed longer than the average guests so there weren’t really enough racks for drying bathers or other hand washed items, we had to drape them around on the balcony etc. In hindsight we should have just used the laundry service more because it was so cheap. Also the system for replacing bath and beach towels seemed a bit haphazard and we had to ask for fresh towels a couple of times.

Tucked away in calm Nyah Kuning, Swasti is a lovely lush oasis with traditional cottages and rooms, a great vegetarian restaurant and nice spa. Nice touches like coffee and herbal tea delivered before breakfast. Breakfast options are not your usual and can come straight from the garden. Staff are lovely and really helpful. I stayed in a Deluxe cottage and Traditional room and liked both. Swasti is not far from Ubud Central if you walk 20mins or bike the monkey forest path. Otherwise by car you might get caught up in the horrendous traffic and will take twice as long.

Nothing. I loved it's chilled vibe.

Pretty much everything! The rooms, bungalows, gardens, feel of Swasti, its attention to beauty and now its food too is amazing! A stay at Swasti is a real treat! Since we last visited, the restaurant has expanded & the food was the best we have ever had at Swasti & on par with some of the best restaurants in Ubud. A very diverse, creative, stunningly presented menu, totally delicious and nutritious food. Best free breakfasts too. Beaming service: Thank you.

I miss the beautiful flower decorations that used to be made by the gardeners and that were strewn around the gardens. Now replaced by neon lit symbols.

The property is a peaceful retreat, we didn't leave at all for the first day as everything is so beautiful. So when we walked up the road to the busier street, we realised how cocooned in tranquil nature we had been, yet so close to Ubud streets. It's situated on a quieter street of Ubud, a short walk to the Monkey Forrest and some delicious local warungs as well as International food choices. There are also hilarious kittens which provide endless entertainment for kids and adults. The cafe looks over the lotus blooming in the pond, with the sound of goats, birds and nature being all around. The yoga shala is a beautiful space to use, with seasoned yogi's teaching. The most important part of Swasti is the kind staff; they make the stay so comfortable, we loved chatting to everyone and learning about Galungan festivities and the cultural dress where everyone looked particularly beautiful all dressed up. The food is beautifully prepared and much is sourced from the organic garden that you can walk around. Everything makes you feel a little bit healthier and less affected by anything you were stressed about before your arrival. Also the massage will likely result in needing to sleep like a log afterwards as all your stress disappears.

Nothing really worth mentioning. I loved the tea in the morning, would be nice to have access to the teapot/ kettle throughout the day in the room.

Set amongst beautiful gardens in a quiet neighbourhood of Nyuh Kuning and close to the Monkey Forest; Swasti Eco was a great place for me to travel alone and feel rested and looked after. Waking up to a thermos of hot water with a choice of local coffee or organic site grown tea to enjoy on my outdoor daybed supported me through my early rise, meditation and yoga practice on my own before I sauntered down to the restaurant where a nutritious breakfast is served all included in the room rate. The food is really delicious and clean. Organic ingredients are derived partly from their own garden on site. The area is a residential area mostly for expats so there are some lovely restaurants right outside and down a block or two. There are a handful of gift stores selling fabric, homewares and medicinal herbs. The main hustle and bustle of shops in the main part of Ubud is just a short ride away on a scooter or car (Gojek or Grab are their local version of Uber).

I hadn't realised that the traditional room meant that the walls did not go all the way up to the roof/ceiling. This meant a lot of mosquitoes for me unfortunately. The staff were very kind to give me their own brewed herbal insect repellant and would light incense outside of my room to prevent them further and this did help. There are other rooms which are sealed. I'll know to book that next time.

Overall, our stay at Swasti was exceptional. The property feels like a hidden oasis in the city of Ubud. While the busy and noisy city center is a bit farther away, the area where Swasti is located is peaceful. The Monkey Forest is just a few minutes' walk from the hotel, and there are plenty of nice restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as a co-working space right next door.

Overall, everything was great, and the cons are really minor—definitely not reasons to avoid booking at Swasti. Breakfast is included with your stay, though the portions could be larger. Additionally, there is no air conditioning in the room, and there are no blackout curtains, so light sleepers might wake up early with daylight.

Swasti is beautifully landscaped with fruit trees, a lotus pond, and has working gardens that supply a lot of the food for the restaurant. It feels authentic to Bali, not a sterile resort vibe.

Nothing!

The staff is beyond friendly to make you feel at home. The rooms are really spacious and so beautiful, we even had a private pond. The whole hotel has a peaceful atmosphere. The spa is recommended as well. So good to get more eco-conscious places on this very polluted island.

Not the hotels fault, but Ubud as a region was very busy and touristy, it was difficult to walk around the streets here because of all the cars and motorbikes. The food was good in the hotel, except for the BBQ that was organised one evening.
