Stunning grounds. Lovely spacious bungalow.

Quite a distance from town centre. Would not have been such a problem except for very heavy traffic.

A Truly Amazing Resort Experience! From the moment we arrived until the day we left, the service at this resort was exceptional. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were well taken care of, providing detailed information about the Ogoh-Ogoh parade and Nyepi Day, which made our stay even more special. The rooms are beautifully designed, offering comfort and privacy, while the private pool was an absolute highlight. The main pool and the breathtaking jungle views added to the overall charm of the resort. Dining at the on-site restaurant was a great experience—delicious food at excellent value. The spa, nestled by the river, provided the most relaxing atmosphere, and I can confidently say I had one of the best massages ever! The location is perfect—just outside Ubud’s busy center, offering a peaceful retreat with stunning scenery, yet still convenient enough to reach town quickly via Grab scooter or the resort’s free shuttle service. They also offer affordable transfer options. I highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Ubud. It was an unforgettable experience, and I truly hope to return one day!

Words cannot fully convey how truly wonderful our one week stay was at Villa Semana! It is truly paradise on the Island of the Gods! The staff were exceptional!! I stayed with my son, who is special needs, and they were so wonderful with him. He keeps saying how much he wants to go back - so do I!! Our villa (Cempaka) was amazing, luxurious and roomy with everything you could want. We both had our own bedroom and bathroom, as well as our own private pool (all 10 villas at Villa Semana have their own private pool). It is simply the most relaxing place I have ever stayed (I read 3 books in the week I was there)! The view from our villa over the Ayung River was so beautiful and serene! Breakfast was fantastic, served every morning at the restaurant overlooking the river! There were so many different choices (I had a different main dish each day) and I always found it quite filling. I also loved the Bali coffee! We looked forward to breakfast every morning! We also ate dinner at the restaurant every night (except one) and the food and ambience was absolutely wonderful. The daily complimentary afternoon tea was something we looked forward to as well! We also had a couple of incredible massages at the Semana Spa, which is located right on the river with the most serene and relaxing atmosphere! Dewi, the guest relations manager, also arranged for me to take my son to a doctor. They made everything about our stay so easy! I would like the thank all the staff, especially Sudiani and Budiani in the restaurant, and Dewi, as you all looked after us so well and made us truly feel like part of the Semana family! We will definitely be coming back!! My favourite place I have ever stayed!

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

The rooms and amenities were very nice 4/5. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. The cooking class we did was one of the best activities we took part in during our trip! The staff and the chef were wonderful!

Considering the price, I wish everything was included. Lots of extras here and there which was slightly annoying. Better to lump it up in the original hotel price is my personal thought. Hotel to city pick up and drop off happens only twice a day. It’s easy to get a local “uber” so not too bad but again, wish it was included in the service.

Amzing and friendly staff. 12/10 for the staff's hospitality. Very welcoming and always keen to help. Food was tasty and fresh. Only issue I had was cheking in with my daughter. This facilty is aimed for 12+ and older for safety reasons. But manager made an exception as it was too late at night. When i mentioned my daughter can swim and i wont hold them responsible for any issues they let us stay in for the entire duration. This is an unique place to stay and experience the beauty, calmness and traditional balinese hospitality!!!

Swimming pool edge was made of concrete (sharp edges sometime) but floor and wall was made of tiles (smooth). So be careful as we got scratches from resting our hand on concrete. Wooden furnitures and utensils has a tendency of building mould when it is close to water.

Semana Ubud offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful natural surroundings and attentive service. The property has great potential, providing a serene atmosphere for relaxation. While some aspects of the stay could be refined—such as the cleanliness of certain areas, room amenities, and breakfast variety—the overall experience was enjoyable. The staff was accommodating, and the tranquil setting made for a refreshing escape. For sure, I will be returning to experience it again. With a few improvements, Semana Ubud could truly be an exceptional getaway.

This place truly feels like a little piece of heaven on earth. There’s absolutely no reason not to give a 10/10—everything exceeded expectations. The value for money is exceptional. For tourists, Ubud is all about rice fields, waterfalls, and poolside relaxation, and Semana Resort somehow brings all of that together in one place. Waking up here every day feels like a privilege.

The kitchen could be improved, but I understand they’ve kept it simple since most guests likely spend their days exploring Ubud. It’s a reasonable trade-off given the overall experience.

The rooms were lovely, water was refilled many times daily from galloons avoiding single use plastic bottles. The food was excellent, very tasty and perfect portion sizes for us. The staff were really friendly and helpful, the Balinese massage was just what we needed to relax, and the location amongst the rice fields and next to the river was very relaxing.

Despite being 15 minutes into Ubud on paper, this is not the case in practice, it took us almost an hour once due to the traffic. We were disappointed to see plastic straws and could have used more hooks for towels to dry them properly.

Located next to a serene rice paddy and close to the jungle, this property offers a old-world charm. The staff are friendly and accommodating, making the stay enjoyable. Ubud is conveniently accessible by car (using Grab or Gojek) or scooter, with a travel time of 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.

However, the property shows its age and hasn’t been renovated in quite some time. The private pool was not very clean or inviting, which was disappointing. A thoughtful renovation and a fresh update to the facilities would greatly enhance the experience and bring out the full potential of this charming location.

Villa semana literally felt like we were living in paradise. The views alone are like something out of a move but the staff are what makes villa semana. The staff are so long and attentive and they treated us like family. The villas have everything you could need for a few nights away and we slept so well during our stay there.

It was sometimes tricky to get a taxi from the villa to Ubud but that’s the price you pay for staying out of the noisy and busyness. We always managed to get a taxi in the end but it just took a little longer in the evenings.
