Thank You Desa Sanctuary for a wonderful place to stay while we were in Ubud. We loved every minute of our 8 day stay... From the moment we walked in the beautiful doors of the sanctuary we were taken care of by the wonderful, smiling, caring staff. Our breakfasts which were included in the cost were always fresh and delicious,... More

We stayed in the larger cabin and found the amenities to be very nice. The fittings and furniture are beautiful, the beds so comfortable. The pool and garden areas are lovely. It is located on at the bottom of a steep drive and we had some "taxi drivers" refuse to take us all the way down, but the short walk... More

This wasn't for us. We got one of the smaller houses here - not as enticing as it looks on the website, shower didn't work and we really didn't like being asked by a staff member's husband EVERY DAY if we wanted to go on a tour. The Sanctuary is located on a very busy road, and quite far from... More

My 4 good friends and I have just spent a wonderful 4 nights at Desa Sanctuary. We booked both of the larger Joglos (Ganesh & Sarasvati) and had plenty of room. It was our first time in Ubud, and Desa was a true tranquil sanctuary away from the busy city, but still close. The staff were wonderful - thanks to... More

We stayed in the lotus lumbung room, nothing flash, and really liked it- view to the rice paddie and good downstairs area to relax. The other rooms are bigger with more features. A steep walk up some stairs to the bedroom from the open living areas was fine. The staff were very nice and helpful - just ask if you... More

I stayed at Desa Sanctuary for 2 weeks in September last year (bit late with my review!) and had an absolutely lovely time there. I had come to Ubud for an Ashtanga workshop and found my little house (Rumah Tinggi) a wonderful place to escape to between sessions and/or when the day became too hot for me to wander around...

We visited Bali during a trip with my parents, myself and my sister (adult children). We stayed in Rumah Kampung and Rumah Tinggi. My parents stayed in Rumah Kampung so that my mother wouldn't have to walk too many stairs, while my sister and I stayed in Rumah Tinggi. Rumah was a dream!! The photos on the website are accurate.... More

desa is the perfect place to stay - outside of ubud's busy touristy main streets, but only a 5 min motorbike (or taxi) ride away. the 5 bungalows are excellently furnished, high thread count sheets, balinese style furniture, open aired beautiful bathrooms, all surrounding green vegetation and a lovely pool. the staff makes you feel like family and the simple...

This is a really lovely place - relaxed, beautiful & cared for. It's a bit of a walk from the 'centre' of Ubud, but still well located. The sign for the place is very small so easy to miss arriving by taxi along the main road! My room was quite big with a nice bathroom, kitchen & lovely bed with... More
