Great Experience
Waka Di Ume is not your average hotel. The small amount of rooms means that you get super service from the friendly staff. Its a real sence of luxury from the moment you arrive. If you are looking to be pampered this is your place!! Nothing is too difficult for these people. Also My wife has food allergies and the staff were very accommadating.

The tranquil setting suits a good wind down. The gardens are gorgeous, the aspect perfect, the staff helpful at every turn.

There are endless list of good things to talk about about Waka Di Ume. Where should we start?
Waka Di Ume means Waka (name of a person) at rice paddy. We really LOVED this place. Every statue, pond, tree… every little thing is very thoughtfully placed and decorated. SO beautiful. The pool, the spa, the bungalow hanging in the middle of rice paddy, the restaurant, the rice paddy…
We had the Lanai Rice Terrace room – our balcony was facing the rice paddy. Beautiful room, when we got back from the Centre after dinner, the mosquito net was already put down on our bed by the staff! Two umbrellas are provided at the front, near the entrance.
All staff are very friendly and the hotel offers a great range of complimentary services, such as:
1. Yoga at 3 PM
2. Daily afternoon tea from 3.30 PM to 4.30 PM (You MUST try this – Even though you’re not a big fan of Balinese traditional sweets, just go for the lovely tea pots and cups and most importantly, GREAT view!)
3. Free shuttle to Ubud Centre (aka Ubud town centre) every hour – runs early and until 22:15 PM.
The breakfast included is not buffet breakfast, but Continental Breakfast. Simple (fruit + 4 different kinds of pastries + tea/coffee) but very nice! Otherwise, you can always replace it with any other food in the menu of which the price does not exceed the Continental Breakfast.
Shame about the price of the spa in the hotel. You can get MUCH cheaper price for spa in Ubud Centre.
Monkey Forest – Take the free shuttle and tell them you wanna be dropped off at Monkey Forest. Monkey Forest is located at the end of Ubud Centre.
Elephant Safari Park – Depends what you wanna do, specifically mention if you wanna do the Elephant Ride or just look at them in the Safari. You can book from the hotel reception. Elephant Ride is HIGHLY recommended – the longest ride is 35 minutes and through the forest.
There are other people offering Elephant Tour, etc in the Ubud Centre, but we personally think the one that we booked from the hotel (Bali Adventures) is quite a good one!

The hotel is in a very peaceful...
The hotel is in a very peaceful location outside the town, but has a very reliable shuttle-bus service into the centre of Ubud. The breakfast was good, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, in a simple, rustic style, though could probably be made more comfortable by removing one of the queen beds and adding a small couch or comfortable chairs. The spa looked lovely, though we didn't try it, but thought the prices a little high considering the location. Overall, it was a very pleasant, relaxing stay.
Hotel is set into very beautiful natural...
Hotel is set into very beautiful natural surroundings. Very quiet place, also the fact that no TV or radio was present in the rooms was very refreshing to us. Extensive breakfast and nice view over the rice terraces.
However, looking at the state of the buildings, the outside paint nearly gone by growing spots of mold, the simplicity of the facilities in general, the price charged is too much. This hotel is great for persons looking for simplicity and quietness, but we think it should priced well below 100 USD a night (however we paid 150 USD a night)
Waka di Ume is an amazing place...
Waka di Ume is an amazing place to stay - it is away from the town centre of Ubud but near enough for a day of shopping. It is definitley a place to go to get away from everything, do absolutely nothing and just relax or maybe take a swim in the amazing pool or have a Lhurlur massage!! Very friendly and polite staff. It was a pleasure to stay there, I would recommend this place - ideal for a bit of romance
This was a wonderful place to stay...
This was a wonderful place to stay at. It was peaceful and relaxing.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Although it isn't close to the main centre of Ubud, the resort provides regular free shuttles.
Pay the extra and opt for a Terrace room, which is a much bigger room and huge bathroom with a spa.
Would definitely stay here again.
