My family of 3 adults have just departed after a weeklong stay in this amazing villa resort. We give Samara top rating, and we are very picky travellers who love quality, service and value! Small, intimate and nestled amongst working rice fields, there are constant delights to see all around and the beauty is stunning. The entire staff from reception... More

Just stayed for 4 nights, on honeymoon - probably the best service I've ever had in terms of personal warm genuine service, from owner Stephano and his wife. Any request including advice on stuff to do and organizing it for us seemed only too easy. There was personal touches every day with handmade chocolates, flowers etc left for us. You... More

We spent only one night (unfortunately) at The Samara in April when visiting Ubud and what a wonderful experience it was. The villa, the restaurant where we had dinner, breakfast on the lawn overlooking the hills, - everything was superb. And the violent rainstorm in the evening was an added spectacle. Loved it!

We were there here for 5 days, there was very warm welcome. Staff is extremely friendly. Driver rai was very gentle and humble. He is extremely friendly and helps us to explore bali in al possible ways. Though i don remember the names of d staff, they were equally friendly and had taken extra care when i fell ill thr... More

A beautiful small boutique hotel away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud, overlooking the rice fields. Staff were lovely - all of them so friendly and helpful. The scooter ride up the path to the hotel was great fun and we made good use of the free rides to the main road every day. Walking north into the rice... More

We just got back from the most brilliant trip to Ubud in Bali. The Samara Villas, tucked away amidst terraced rice fields a few minutes from the happy bustle of Ubud's centre, was the perfect place for us. Incredibly peaceful, restful and elegant, with only 6 villas, it feels more like a well appointed home away from home than a... More

We have just returned from a week at the Samara and loved every minute of it. The staff and service are wonderful, including the twice daily tidying of the room, the trips up and down to town on the motorbike, the afternoon tea by the pool and the warm welcome smiles and greetings on return from our day out and...

We've just returned from 8 nights at Samara - my second trip to Ubud and my husband's first - and absolutely loved it. To climb out of the taxi and be swept off on motorbike to the Villas (there is no car access for the last 400m leading to the Villas) was such a fun introduction. The staff, from the... More

In march 2013 we stayed for a week at the Samara. It's a small hotel, 6 rooms, two rooms per well built, modern bungalow style building. Rooms are decent sized, bit basic and simple, with a big bed for 2 people, good mattresses, clean, and with good AC units. Bathroom is partly in- and outside, shower is outside in a... More
