The Shala Bali

The location is superb, staff very friendly and knowledgeable. I loved my bungalow, the Jungle, which is secluded and set apart from everything else on the property.

After a long work day, it can be a little discouraging walking back to my bungalow. But in the end, it was never a problem.

Unser Unterkunft war wunderschön, im Wald. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Hütte, die ziemlich neu war.

Das Frühstück am ersten Tag war leider sehr enttäuschend. Für den Preis haben wir deutlich mehr erwartet – es gab nur eine sehr kleine Auswahl und nicht einmal Kaffee war enthalten. Man konnte sich lediglich Tee nehmen. Am zweiten Tag, nachdem wir uns beschwert hatten, bekamen wir zwar zusätzlich etwas Obst, Müsli und etwas dicker geschnittene Brotscheibe. Für diesen Preis sollte das Frühstück deutlich umfangreicher sein. In anderen Hotels dieser Kategorie wird hier nicht gespart – so etwas kennt man eher nur von sehr günstigen Unterkünften.

it’s so peaceful and such a hidden gem off the main road. embraces the true ubud style and character! the pool is so nice and the food was excellent. we had both breakfast and dinner! the raw cakes will always be a huge hit for me! we had a Balinese massage and flower bath. our treatments were amazing! I found the facilities to be very clean and well looked after.

if you lack mobility you may find it hard to navigate the cute & narrow pathways without railings or handrails. May not be suitable for those who aren’t confident walking on wet paths if it rains

We stayed here to be near to the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival and our bungalow was less than 100m from the venue

Some bungalows are located very deep into the property - you need to walk about 10 - 15 minutes along a narrow, winding, often steep path to get to your room. After dark it can be very hard to find your way. There is no phone to the main reception, you need to walk there (along an unmarked path) if you need to ask for something. Bungalows are right next to the only footpath in and out of the property, and it can be very noisy late at night
