Hoshinoya Bali Reviews

Finally got the chance to stay in this Japanese hotel in Ubud, impressive garden landscape facing the forest, nice nature with very relax calming stay. Breakfast was well prepared , dinner as well . Worth the visit .

It was my first time to visit Bali and I chose Hoshinoya based on the recommendation of a friend. Hoshinoya is located in a quite quiet place. You can take many beautiful photos inside and swim directly from outside the room, which makes you feel extremely comfortable. You can relax and stay in the hotel all day, which is worth everyone's enjoyment.

There is no private swimming pool, it is public, which is a bit of a disadvantage

The hotel is located in the forest. There is a forest trail leading to the valley. The rooms are clean and tidy.

The staff are all friendly and the service is very good. The food was also very good for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dinner courses. The perfect spa was also really good.

The hotel is located in the mountains and valleys, like a paradise, flowers, birds, insects, streams gurgling, the restaurant is outdoors, comfortable and comfortable, every waiter has a smile on his face, polite and thoughtful, breakfast is booked in the bird Eating in a cage, the gift of nature is pleasant, everything is so beautiful!

We had an unforgettable stay at the Hoshinoya Resort Bali. Nestled deep in the heart of the jungle, the hotel offers an idyllic retreat, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. The sounds of rivers flowing and the lush jungle surroundings create a serene atmosphere, offering a unique way to escape the stresses of daily life. The resort’s spa is a highlight, and we indulged in a rejuvenating massage followed by a flower bath. It was, without a doubt, the best spa experience I’ve had in Bali. Our villa, located right next to the pool, was a stunning blend of comfort and elegance, designed in a traditional Japanese style that added to the charm of our stay. A standout aspect of Hoshinoya is its exceptional staff. Always friendly, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile, they made our visit even more special. In summary, Hoshinoya Resort Bali is a sanctuary of peace and luxury. I wouldn’t hesitate to return and am already looking forward to exploring another Hoshinoya Resort in the future.

Hoshinoya Bali offers a serene escape with beautiful Japanese-inspired architecture. It truly felt like I was in a quiet corner of Japan. The food was so good, with every dish crafted with care and attention to detail. The staff were incredibly kind, making my stay even more enjoyable. The rooms were stunning, blending modern luxury with traditional elements. A perfect place to relax.

Hoshinoya Bali is tucked away in a peaceful area of Ubud with a beautiful view overlooking the valley. The staff are very friendly and professional. They will make sure you are well taken care of. The spa service is exceptional as well. I would definitely come back!

Hoshinoya Bali is one of the most incredible hotels I've ever visited. As an architect, I loved its design. I appreciate how they combined Japandi interior design with Indonesian culture. The hotel features a stunning large pool inspired by a river running through the center. The food is amazing, rivaling Michelin-starred restaurants. The service was exceptional. It's a bit outside the city, so if you're looking for tranquility, I highly recommend it.

Hotel is quite far from Ubud, but the location is so quiet and Beautiful that Guests can totally relax in this Hotel. No TV, Music in room, but you have have a Gazebo where you can have a nice afternoon nap. The Pools are huge and ONE section is private....

This location is really breathtaking beautiful! The sunrise in the early morning is amazing when you are looking over the jungle. We had a panoramic villa. It's very quiet and you have a lot of privacy. Visiting this location you really step out of a crowded life. Also you can take breakfast in a private gazebo, which is really a great experience in the early morning. The spa is really worth it. The people are so friendly and helpfull!

I recently spent a weekend stay (two nights) at Hoshinoya Valley, and it was the absolute worst resort experience I have ever had. Check-In Process: The nightmare began at check-in. The process was completely unclear and disorganized, with staff who seemed utterly incompetent. We were left waiting with no communication or assistance. Room Condition and Housekeeping: The facilities was filthy, with mess everywhere. The housekeeping team was the worst I've ever encountered. They never performed a proper room make-up or turndown service. We reported our key missing inside the room, only to find it on the desk where the housekeeping should have easily noticed. Food and Dining: The food offerings were abysmal. We tried lunch, and the few breakfast options were laughable. Canapés for breakfast, charged at 1 million IDR, tasted like absolute garbage. The quality of the food was appalling, with cold and poorly prepared dishes. Facilities: The pool was unusable, constantly below 16 degrees, making it feel like a cold plunge rather than an enjoyable swim. Service and Regulations: The service regulations were bizarre and unacceptable. Smoking was allowed in non-smoking areas, and the shuttle pick-up service was unreliable and never proceeded as scheduled. The guest assistance team was worse than any three-star hotel I've ever worked with. There was no leadership or proper training evident among the staff. Shockingly, we weren't even asked for ID to stay, making the place feel unsafe and dodgy, like a hideout for fugitives. Management and Post-Stay Issues: Throughout the entire stay, no management personnel were present. It felt like the resort was being run by a bunch of untrained, clueless trainees. The frustration continued even three days after check-out when they mischarged our folio. There were multiple delays in sending the correct folio, no refund issued after 3x24 hours, and a bag went missing during check-out. Conclusion: This stay was horrendous from start to finish. There are far better options in Ubud, especially at this price point. I strongly urge any potential guests to avoid Hoshinoya at all costs. It is not worth a fraction of the price, and you will only end up frustrated and disappointed. Final Verdict: A dreadful experience, not worth your money or time. The worst stay ever. Please, do yourself a favor and never consider this property as an option. And thank me later.

My stay at Hoshinoya hotel was unforgettable. The hospitality was outstanding, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. I loved walking through the rice fields and trying batik painting, which was a unique experience. Participating in Balinese offerings added a special cultural touch to my stay. Hoshinoya hotel combines luxury with authentic local activities, making it a truly memorable destination for a special getaway. This stay was truly special!
