While the exclusive location offers a tranquil retreat, some visitors note that the resort’s access road is a bit rustic and that the property’s size is intimate compared to larger resorts. These elements contribute to an authentic and peaceful ambiance but may not suit guests seeking expansive facilities or more direct jungle immersion from their rooms. Security and privacy are generally well-managed, though the villas have open entrances and shared pools, which fosters a friendly atmosphere among guests.

Simply amazing. The rooms and facilities are breathtaking. You very quickly enter a very relaxed state. Food was excellent, as was service (although not fully up to standards at Hoshinoya’s japanese locations). Recommend the breakfast in the gazebo for a besutiful start on the day.

First Impressions of Hoshinoya Bali

This was my first stay at a Hoshinoya property, and I chose Hoshinoya Bali for its location in Ubud. The resort is undeniably well-managed, and for those seeking a luxurious pool villa experience amidst the Ubud forest, it could be perfect.

A Note on Ambiance:

While I yearned for a more immersive forest view directly from my room, the lush greenery is truly evident in the dining and spa areas. This creates a tranquil environment, perhaps more suited for families with children who might not necessarily require a constant visual connection to nature.

Forest Lovers Take Note:

If a constant visual connection to the forest is a top priority for your stay, you might want to explore other Ubud hotels. You can see the forest only in dining or spa areas.

Breakfast and Service:

The breakfast selection, while good, wasn't particularly impressive. I cannot say the food was delicious. However, the staff were absolutely delightful - friendly, kind, and attentive.

This resort is amazing! The design is absolutely beautiful. The food, both Japanese and Balinese, were our favorite meals of the whole trip. We highly recommend the Ayam Batutu. The gazebos overhanging the jungle valleys are an incredible way to watch the sunrise. The whole place is just gorgeous, and the staff do a great job making your stay a special experience. We stayed for two nights on a longer anniversary trip. We highly recommend!

We have a pleasant stay at Honshinoya Bali. It’s a very beautiful resort surrounded by the nature. We stay in the villa Jalak. It has the best location to watch the resort, and the trees. You can even enjoy sunrise at the villa. We enjoy the time staying there. I’ll always missing reading at the balcony with such beautiful view.

The only concern I have is about country and nationality. We are from Taiwan. However, the nationality and country is listed as China in the receipt. After communicating with the staff, he helped to correct that to Taiwan, province of China. Well, that’s unacceptable. I told the staff that this statement makes us uncomfortable. He is sorry about that and mentioning that’s embedded in the IT system. I understand, and ask the staff to provide our comments to the headquarter. Hope this mistake could be corrected soon.

Good and nice hotel.  However, are there any resort in Bali not be described by this two super generic words? Hoshinoya has all the good things a resort supposed to have: warm smile, super service attitude, good food and nice villa.  If I am paying for a lesser hotel chain I would be chilled, but for a $500+/night hotel I think it is fair to expect more.  The resort is a bit “homemade” and as someone who profession is closely related to cost control I couldn’t help but to think….”what a good business!”.  The location is, no offense, in the middle of nowhere (which is true that it offer some peace of mind) that I wonder how much they rent/buy from the local government.  The only road to the hotel is badly managed.  The site of the resort is really small and limited compare to most of the resort I stayed.  Security could be a concern for some people.  You cannot actually lock the main entrance of your villa, and the shared swimming pool could be accessed by other guests.

Of course there is good things about the hotel.  First the food is good.  Japanese sashimi is recommended as they are in good quality.  They also offer sufftles bus to the town center of nearby small town (Ubud) where you can do some sightseeing (not easy for smaller kids but there is supermarket and other place for dinning). Special credit to the driver who manage to solve a little problem by his smart.  The “birdcage” there are quite interesting to seat in and enjoy the view of the forest.  Just don’t expect that is a primitive jungle.

I would still recommend this place if they are not as expensive.  For me they are a bit overpriced.  For same money you can have more option in Bali and anywhere else in the world.
