It was truly a magical experience, hidden away in the rainforest. Our villa was beautifully adorned with Balinese wood carvings and featured a private pool. The bathroom was spacious, with a generous double sink. I especially loved that it had a separate area for getting dressed while enjoying the view. It was so peaceful to hear the river gently babbling nearby. I spent an entire day just taking in the view. I would say this was one of my favourite stays, and I hope to return soon!

The room was a little dark, but very cozy. Instead of having the door near the front, which blocks the view, I would suggest installing a floor-to-ceiling plate glass window. This would allow you to enjoy the view of the rainforest from your bed and bring in much more natural light during the day. I don’t think you need the door, as there is already one to the right that leads to the villa's pool.

This was in my opinion the best resort I have ever stayed in. Our villa was exceptional, the whole resort was quiet and relaxing. The Spa was fantastic and the food was amazing.

The location of the villa was quite isolated. You could not walk out of the villa and go for a walk as there was nothing to see or do close by. So unless you wanted to pay for a taxi and take a 20-30 minute ride you are unlikely to get out of the resort. Some might see this as a positive as it means the resort is quiet and you truly can relax and enjoy all the facilities

I had a 4-night stay with my wife in this hotel. We were on a honeymoon, and to be honest, the hotel exceeded our expectations. Everything was exceptional, however, I like mostly the location where you feel that you are in a jungle, not a hotel. the sound of the river can be heard in your room and can be seen from the restaurant. The food is of very good quality also, and the service is amazing. Moreover, I must say that the views are iconic. in every inch, you can take an amazing photo. BTW, you must try their Photography services.

You have to put in mind that the city center is a bit far though. around 30 minutes by car. Also, because you are in a jungle, you must now that you need a buggy to travel from one place to another inside the hotel. However, the buggy service that the hotel is providing is fast to order and always at your service.

We loved everything about this resort! From the beautiful caring, friendly and professional staff who go above and beyond to be kind and helpful, to the 5-star restaurant with delicious food and outstanding service was delightfully amazing! Staff drive you in a golf buggy to and from your room at any time. The traditional Villas were so beautiful with all the detailed wood carvings and are comfortable and roomy with a lovely big bathroom, comfortable bed and good sized pool with great views of the forest surroundings (and monkeys that sometimes pass by!). Everything was easy to get to and arrange, and the staff made our stay exceptionally wonderful with nothing being too much trouble. We would definitely return again and highly recommend staying here in this wonderful, beautiful place

Although clean, our villa (like many in Bali right now) is starting to look a little tired in areas (in particular some of the soft furnishings and outside patios) that just need some attention/renewal to look their best to uphold the luxury appeal. In their defence, this is just after coming through the global pandemic so it's understandable some minor work to make the villas look amazing and new-ish again would be desirable. I would also like to see actual soap available in the bathroom as an option other than just body wash as well. - But really, we were very happy and well looked-after so there's truly nothing not to like!

Outstanding natural location and construction, a living, breathing museum. The artwork all over the museum was stunning, monkey families frequent guests on our balcony and at breakfast, the staff went above and beyond to.attend to all our needs and requests. It felt very personal.

The property is a little older, and some of the facilities which are worn out could do with some updating, but you are in the heart of a jungle with the river so close you can hear the rushing water ....its magical and its great to turn off that critical eye and be swept away by the romance of it all.

The staff at Ayung Resort treated us like royalty! Staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and ready to wait on you at the drop of a hat! If you are looking for the resort experience in Ubud this is the place to go. All staff knew us by name almost immediately. The resort itself is stunning, with jungle views and river views. Our room was absolutely amazing with hand carved wood, and our own personal pool. The restaurant was amazing with great food options, afternoon tea, and room service/floating breakfast options, the view from the restaurant is simply amazing! We enjoyed a Balinese dance at dinner, free yoga, and used the spa which was amazing. We used the shuttle to get downtown and back a few times, but staff was more than happy to arrange us a car if we missed the shuttle times.

Nothing!

What I loved most about my stay at Ayung Resort was the magical setting—nestled deep in the jungle with stunning views of the Ayung River valley. The resort felt like a spiritual retreat, surrounded by lush greenery and filled with traditional Balinese art and sculptures. The staff were incredibly warm, thoughtful, and professional, always going out of their way to ensure comfort. The villa was spacious, beautifully decorated, and spotless. Dining was a highlight, with delicious meals served in a serene open-air restaurant. Yes, the resort could benefit from some modernisation, as a few areas feel a bit dated, but this doesn’t detract from its overall beauty or the uniquely peaceful experience it offers.

Not a major issue but the resort would benefit from a freshen up in terms of paint work. Facilities were fantastic however and so this is only very minor.

The rooms were exactly as shown in the photos. They were spacious but cleanliness could have been better. The staff is very courteous and prompt. Food at the restaurant is excellent. The location is beautiful but far away from main city. they have shuttle arrangements though.

Cleanliness wasn’t up to the mark, also the restaurant and other amenities are priced higher than expected. The place is situated in the middle of a jungle and there is no scope of venturing out after sunset to fetch for anything. They have a weird policy of giving only 600 ml of water per person everyday, which seemed strange.

Hard to know where to start at Ayung. Every aspect of our stay was exceptional. The staff were an amazing group, eager to help out in any way they could. We took on a number of suggested activities from a short village walk up through the rice fields and day tour with Yogi and loved each one of them (except the drive through central Ubud - take a wide berth, we'd say!). The valley the resort has been built within, overlooks the river and surrounding jungle and was quite breathtaking. Although it has been built in deep jungle on a very steep piece of land, the staff were only too happy to come and pick us up or drop us back to our room. The food was amazing and the cooking class was a real highlight with Landra the chef. We also enjoyed a fabulous massage at the onsite spa. All in all, a wonderful place to stay! Suksema to the whole Ayung Resort crew!!

No... it was all amazing!

(+) staff (friendly and super-helpful employees. Tell management to get them some bonuses - they deserve it!) (+) location (beautiful nature and amazing views) (+) restaurant (absolutely superb, tasty, wide selection both meals and drinks) (+) resort (its composition, places to go) (+) value for money

(-) condition of buildings and facilities (the resort is really greatly designed, but the buildings and facilities would need thorough reconstruction. Everything can stay as it is now, but renovation is absolutely needed).
