We spent three nights at this hotel in January 2014 and really had a great experience. It is located just a short drive from Ubud. The rooms were well decorated, clean, and met all of our needs (including wireless internet and an in-room safe). The hotel has a great pool with a great view to the forest. The terrace was the best place because we can feel the forest atmosphere and enjoy the sound of the nature after a long day exploring Ubud. The staff at this hotel was absolutely amazing! We ate breakfast on-site every morning from the hotel during our stay and the staff was extremely accommodating, friendly, and polite every time. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Ubud.

My girlfriend and I recently finished high school and came to Bali after spending 2 weeks in the gili isles. We didn't book as we wanted to check the places out first and Weren't sure how long we wanted to stay. After meeting made bedulu, a very friendly local driver (number is 082236293407) he told us about the place and drove us there. Immediately we were sure it was the place to stay. We were upgraded upon arrival, the locals and staff were friendly and very attentative to all our needs, the view is incredible especially with the vanishing pool and the rooms very clean with a beautiful outdoor bathroom. Whilst the location is approximately 6km away from ubud and we were worried about this, we found it worked to our advantage. It's close enough to easily venture into town at any time yet far enough to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reside amongst the incredible green scenery. In fact there's small temples and a beautiful river that flows just 30m from the villas. However, despite being very reluctant at the start, I would recommend hiring scooter as prices to and from town can get a bit pricey over time whereas the scooters are something like 60,000 rupia a day (though not for the faint hearted). If your looking for something very layed back and traditional, you can't go wrong with villa dedari. Our only criticism would be the food, as there are not many eateries nearby that I'd recommend and though very edible, it was a bit basic and we preferred to eat elsewhere which required venturing into ubud. I would defintey recommend this place to friends and family and look forward to returning one day in the near future.

Speaking of reccomendations, we suggest visiting: coffee plantation, casa luna, kupu kupu barong, sari organic and ryoshi. Poernomo (the manager) will assist you with directions or can drive you there.

Booked the entire place unseen, all 7 cottages for a 4-5 nights for our wedding guests. Have to say I was a bit disappointed when I dropped in for a surprise inspection visit few days before my guests were slated to arrive. Cottage 1 was in appalling shape, small and dingy, bath shower area ceiling had fallen down from the rains, it was super filthy, scared the hell out of me. The other cottages saved the day however, they were pretty decent, some dead cockroaches here and there but thats not a biggie in Bali nature. So we didnt have anyone stay in 1 but the rest were full with our guests. Breakfast was bad and cold according to my family and they couldn't eat there, but the other side did order food and were Ok with it, not smashing though. Have to say the view is breathtaking, the pool is nice, there are a few tall steps but not so bad, location is not the best but not that far from central ubud by car, staff is really nice and manager Pournomo tried his best to accommodate all our requests. I wouldn't go back to stay there, many better options overall unless you need that many rooms at an affordable price in that area, which is why we booked it in the first place :-)
