Can't fault the view overlooking cliff down to Ayung, you also get direct access to the river. Very quiet and peaceful. Privacy is a little bit compromised with the arrangements of the villa, the lower units get overlooked by upper ones a little bit. Location is quite a long way away from the Ubud centre though, you'll be relying on... More

This place is set amidst rural Bali, it has spectacular views, really amazing, its very quiet and peaceful. A perfect place for relaxing and reading. The villas are very beautiful. The only negative is that there a lot of stairs that you have to take to get to the room (they do have a trolley sort of a thing but... More

My first trip to Bali, booked The Payangan Hideaway just outside Ubud. Trip from the Airport was MUCH longer than expected, made longer by the time of arrival (5pm), trafficand some roadworks on the way to the accommodation! However, pick up at the airport was very welcome and a lovely young man did an excellent job getting us there. After... More

I recently stayed at the Payangan hideaway resort near Ubud, Bali from October 17 to October 23, 2011. The resort is located about 30 to 40 min. from central Ubud. The resort offers a shuttle to Ubud central three times each day, picking up and dropping off each time that they stop near the palace. Thankfully the last 2 miles... More

This places feels like paradise. The most peaceful place we've ever been. Located about 30 minutes drive outside Ubud (and 20 min of winding up/down/left/right dirt road), the climate is milder than southern Bali, the only noises are of nature (inlcluding a rooster or two) and the occasional scooter. Breakfast delivered to your villa daily, you can schedule a massage,... More

We have stayed at Payangan Hideaway for a week in September 2011. The hotel consists of small villas which are all situated at a hillside, all with a beautiful view on the ricefields. The first villa we moved in was dirty. There were hairs and spots on the bed sheets, bugs in the bathroom, scruffy curtains and mold all over... More

This could be a great place to relax – really secluded with stunning views of rice paddies and banana groves. It was rather hard to get to – 45 minutes to Ubud with a good portion of the trip on a narrow bumpy road. They do have a free shuttle 3 times daily. We stayed at a standard room, and... More

We stayed at The Payangan Hideaway in one of the new traditional houses. They were brand new and absolutely spotless. The view here was to die for. The hotel is set in the middle of the jungle with killer views of rice paddies and a beautiful valley. The service was excellent- breakfast and afternoon tea are complimentary, as is a... More

I didn't expect that the resort was very far from central Ubud. We reached the area by a rented motor bike, and it took us about 45 minutes to an hour to reach the hotel. We stayed in Padma villa, a one bed-room villa with a separate kitchenette. The room is very spacious with a bath tub, a toilet, indoor... More
