We loved this hotel!
We arrived in the dark, but could tell this place was going to be something special. The only reservation was that it seemed like it was up a really long track and in the middle of nowhere. Our room was amazing and when we got our first glimpse of the view in the morning we were blown away. The view over the paddy terraces against a backdrop of tropical rainforest and the sound of a waterfall, was breathtaking. The infinity pool below looked great and when we went for a swim later it really was great. We needn't have worried about being in the middle of the nowhere as firstly there is a shuttle that stops at either the art gallery, tourist information or monkey forest and the last one back is 22.40, but also it is only a 20-25 min walk from town with a really nice bar/restaurant called Art Cafe at the bottom of the track which makes a good pitstop. Breakfast was fantastic and there is also free afternoon tea, which is great too. The best thing was the staff though, we have never been so well looked after and everyone, without fail, was smiley and friendly. It's very expensive for Bali, but honestly worth every penny.
Just lovely!
Fabulous place, warm and friendly staff, lovely pool area and fantastic spa setting, just beautiful!
Home in the heart of Ubud
I could not help but use Komaneka's own tagline - Home in the heart of Ubud, to describe the feeling that you get at the resort.
The friendly staff was helpful and attentive at all times, during breakfast, during the SPA, etc.
The rooms were well designed and had a lovely balcony to sit down for coffee and lay down to watch the wonderful scenery of mountains and river.
The equipment in the rooms were great, an APPLE TV was supplied with pre-loaded music and movie's for viewing. Only issue was the Apple TV was placed quite low and from the angle of the bed, the remote could not send it's signal over.
Also tried the SPA there and the 2.5 hours, scrub, massage and soak was very local (with local ingredients) and very refreshing and relaxing. Must try though it is more expensive than when you go out of the resort.
The resort also has many supplementary activities, including free Yoga classes on Monday and Wednesday, free shuttle to key areas in ubud, Coconut leave making, Balinese cooking classes (at a fee), etc ...
It was kinda of sad to leave when our holiday eventually ended ...
Overall, a lovely experience and would definitely be back.

Excellent service for the price. A lot of thoughtfulness. Easy and regular shuttels in the center of Ubud.
Beautiful hotel
The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the service was fantastic - nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff.
For us, the hotel was in a great location - stunning views from all of the hotel over rice paddies & the river valley - it is slightly away from the hectic crowds of main Ubud drag but still within easy walking distance of everything (they also have a really good shuttle service if you prefer a lift in to town).
I would highly recommend this to anyone going to Ubud.
Komaneka at Bisma - Best in Bali! Blissful, breath-taking, beautiful!
This was a last minute escape - so we didn't know much about Komaneka. We were pleasantly surprised with this magical place - the setting was perfect, the rooms are HUGE and very comfortable! But the best part of our stay was the hospitality and service from the staff - it was outstanding! We have travelled a lot and lucky enough to stay in 5 star accommodation - and Komaneka at Bisma was truely a 5 star experience.
Now for the finer details - good and bad:
Good:
* The staff - will do just about anything to ensure you have a comfortable stay. Very personalised service.
* The room - huge 88 sqm with the most amazing view of the forest from your big balcony
* The room facilities - small details such as mouthwash, insect repellent and even straw hats all included in the rooms - gone are the days when it's just a bathrobe and slippers!
* Shuttle service into main part of ubud - we did not need to catch a taxi - ever! They even dropped us off at our restuarant and picked us up when we were finished.
Bad:
If I were to be extra picky, the things which could be improved:
* The path to Komaneka (Bisma Rd) is rough and bumpy - it's not a proper road and is very narrow. Not the best introduction to such a beautiful place.
* Not enough English TV channels - not really an issue but whilst we were there, it rained a lot and it would have been nice to have a bit more variety on TV.
Thank you Komaneka at Bisma - it was exactly what we needed. Will definately be back! xoxo

Beautiful setting in lovely Ubud!
The staff at this hotel were exceptional! The team called us by name throughout our stay which impressed us given the number of guests. The hotel was of a high standard, reflective of being a relatively new resort. The views and setting of the forest at the back of the resort will take your breath away! The food was of reasonable quality at breakfast but we had better when staying at the Uma in 2007. we would definitely come again and take some time out at the beautiful spa! The access road is a little rough to say the least. I imagine this area will continue to develop. The shuttle service was fantastic.
Stayed 2 days to be within the...
Stayed 2 days to be within the Ubud areas but found it to be insufficient if one wants to discover more and travel further northwards of Bali. But it would not be a good location if your intention is to frequent Kuta and the shopping areas as it is about 1 hr drive away depending on traffic.
The suite offered a fantastic view of the hotel's terrace field.
This particular hotel is about 500m off the main road and i would recommend that you take the hotel shuttle to the Ubud centre as the road is not exactly well built.
Overall my family of 4 had a good and relaxed stay in the hotel!
