3-Sterne-Hotels in Bali

Exceptional Design & Thoughtful Luxury at Irnaqana Villa Ubud – A Standout Private Pool Villa. We recently stayed at Irnaqana Villa by GenuineHost in the Ubud and were thoroughly impressed by the architectural design and overall experience. This is not just another new villa (open late 2025), it’s a beautifully conceived private sanctuary where modern elegance meets natural tropical living in perfect harmony. Irnaqana consists of only four villas, each one a completely separate building. This gives every guest total privacy and the feeling of having your own exclusive retreat, which is rare and highly appreciated. The First Impression: A Brilliant Design Moment. From the moment you arrive, the entrance sets the tone. The elegantly designed door is a masterstroke, as it opens, it dramatically reveals the entire private swimming pool in one breathtaking view. It’s cinematic and instantly relaxing. No obstructed sightlines, just pool and lush greenery waiting for you. This clever architectural choice makes the outdoor space feel like an extension of the living area and creates that “wow” factor right away. Lush Garden & Natural Surroundings and water flow sound. The garden is lush and thoughtfully planted with a wonderful variety of tropical plants that feel completely natural and established. It’s not overly manicured, instead, it blends beautifully with the surrounding rice fields and countryside, giving a genuine sense of being immersed in Bali’s nature. Morning light filtering through the leaves, birdsong, and the gentle breeze made our mornings on the terrace truly special. Spacious Interior with Impressive High Ceilings Inside, the villa shines with its generous proportions and smart layout. The ceilings are exceptionally high — at least 5–6 meters — which not only makes the space feel incredibly airy and luxurious but also keeps the villa naturally cooler throughout the day. This is a game-changer in Bali’s climate. The unit is cleverly split into two distinct yet connected zones: • On the left side you have the dining and TV lounge area — perfect for relaxed meals or evening entertainment at the sunken seating. • On the right side is the bedroom with a bathtub and bathroom wing. Both sides offer ample space, so nothing feels cramped. The design elegantly balances modern lines, high-quality materials, and natural elements, clean aesthetics paired with warm tones and textures that nod to Balinese tradition without feeling clichéd. Every piece of furniture, lighting, and finishing feels carefully chosen and of premium quality. Bedroom & Bathroom Comfort The bed is enormous and one of the most comfortable we’ve experienced in Bali. After long days of exploring Ubud or playing sports, sinking into it was pure bliss — our backs were very thankful! The bedroom feels spacious and peaceful with excellent blackout options. The bathroom is equally impressive — spotlessly clean, with strong water pressure in the shower, fresh towels daily, and good-quality toiletries. Everything felt hygienic and well-maintained. The air conditioning is powerful and gets deliciously cold although might needs 1-2 minutes, which was welcome after hot days. Combined with the high ceilings and natural ventilation, the villa stayed comfortable at all times. Location Perks. While the villa itself is tucked away in a quiet, green setting ideal for relaxation, the surrounding area is surprisingly convenient. There’s a fantastic variety of eateries within a short distance — from authentic local warungs serving delicious Balinese food to excellent international restaurants. Final Thoughts Irnaqana Villa excels in thoughtful, high-quality design that prioritizes space, light, views, and privacy. It successfully delivers both aesthetic beauty and genuine comfort. We would definitely return and highly recommend it. A big thank you to the team at GenuineHost for maintaining such a beautiful property. Rating: 10 out of 10.

Ohana has some good things about it, and could be a good retreat with some investment. I booked a Deluxe room for one night and checked out the Apartment because I wanted to stay there long-term (thanks to the gym proximity), but the A/Cs were very weak, so I couldn't extend my stay into the Apartment, and the Deluxe room was too small and uncomfortable for laptop work. Pros: - Away from the street and pretty quiet for now (though there's a construction site right next to it, see rooftop photo) - Nice bamboo-lined entrance after you open the gate with the security code - More comfortable beds than in 8/9 other places I've stayed in Bali so far. Not Tempurpedic or anything that fancy, but softer (perhaps a memory foam topped over a coil mattress). - Only 5 minutes walk to the best gym in the area (”WRONG” gym) - The room was clean, the towels smelled very nice, but the glasses looked dirty - Pretty good light blocking curtains - Insect mesh on the windows! This is such a common-sense feature, but it was the first time I saw in Bali, after staying at 5 hotels/resorts, 1 villa, and 3 rooms at PARQ Ubud - Nice (for the area) rooftop views, with beautiful sunsets - Helpful staff assisted with carrying luggage - There's a small communal kitchen with a microwave and utensils you can use - Nice (but unpopulated) rooftop bar area Cons: - The street entrance is a construction war zone, with garbage and everything (see photos) - Not just the A/C in my room, but both split A/C units in the Apartment, were VERY weak (so 3 units in total). The A/C in my small room only managed to drop the temperature by 2.5C (4.5F) during the 2 hours of running at maximum (loudest) fan speed (28.6 -＞ 26.2 / 83.5F -＞ 79F, see digital thermometer/CO2 sensor photos). Staff told me they could call engineering to take a look, but the facilities/appliances were old (the subtext being, don't have much hope). - The chair was more of a torture device than a chair. Who in their right mind would buy anything like that except perhaps for a ”DO NOT DESIGN FURNITURE LIKE THIS” exhibit? - Only one power outlet for the desk/chair area, occupied with the WiFi router, so I had to plug my laptop into the bathroom power outlet - No water provided. Staff told me to go to a minimart. The closest one walking north was Circle K, and the walk is the typical stressful walk in Canggu, with scooters and cars parked on the sidewalk, construction all over the place, and the frequent lack of pavement - The place was advertised as a coliving on Colivings, but there were maybe a total of 2 other guests there, and no sense of community whatsoever. - The floating beds looked dirty (see photos) - Due to the height of the pool, it's only exposed to sunshine until about 2pm - The Apartment has an odd choice of 4 chairs around a table instead of a couch, and no microwave or toaster or blender in the kitchen. Good light blocking curtains in the bedroom though, and its view is relatively private when the curtains are pulled open.

Das Zimmer ist geräumig und mit Annehmlichkeiten wie einem Wäscheständer und einem Kühlschrank ausgestattet. Es entspricht dem Standard eines 3-Sterne-Hotels. Der Poolbereich ist sehr schön. Das Frühstück war nicht im Preis inbegriffen, daher habe ich es separat bestellt. Allerdings wurden 21 % Steuern berechnet. Obwohl es im Hotel keine Bar gibt, wird Bier zu einem fairen Preis angeboten, sodass man nicht unbedingt auswärts einkaufen muss. Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption übernehmen auch den Zimmerservice und sind daher oft nicht an ihren Schreibtischen. Die Lage ist nicht optimal, man kommt nur schwer zu Fuß überall hin. Das Hotel vermietet keine Motorräder. Die vom Hotel empfohlene Motorradvermietung ist zudem nicht empfehlenswert. Es empfiehlt sich, direkt über Google Maps nach einer anderen Vermietung zu suchen und diese zu kontaktieren. Die Lieferung erfolgt in jedem Fall. Das Personal ist freundlich. Das Frühstück ist durchschnittlich. Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden.

Sehr saubere und gut servierte Zimmer. Muss einige der besten Rezeption Mitarbeiter umgeben sein. Optimale Lage.

Ich habe sechs Nächte dort verbracht. Ich habe dieses Hotel wegen seiner Nähe zum Flughafen (nur 10 Minuten mit dem Taxi) gewählt. Das Hotelgelände ist klein, grün und authentisch. Das Zimmer war wunderbar: ein bequemes Bett, saubere Bettwäsche, ein großer Fernseher mit englischen und einem russischen Sender sowie Möbel und Einrichtungsgegenstände in gutem Zustand. Das Personal spricht Englisch und ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schade, dass kein Wasser bereitgestellt wird; ich habe mir Flaschen in nahegelegenen Minimärkten gekauft. Das Hotel liegt nicht in einem Touristengebiet, sondern ist von Wohngebieten umgeben. Ich war abends zwischen 23 und 24 Uhr ein paar Mal dort, aber es war nicht sehr angenehm; ich habe mein Handy nicht aus der Tasche genommen. Die Fahrt mit dem Fahrradtaxi nach Seminyak und Nusa Dua dauerte 25–30 Minuten (für 40.000 Rupien). Wenn Sie also ein touristischeres Gebiet suchen, ist dieses Hotel nicht das Richtige für Sie.

Bei meiner Ankunft hatte ich Glück, dass eine Dame in der Nähe der Rezeption war, die mir beim Einchecken half. Beim Auschecken musste ich allerdings nach oben gehen, um jemanden zu finden. Auch für den Föhn musste ich nach oben, da keiner im Zimmer vorhanden war. Die angegebene WhatsApp-Nummer war nutzlos, da ich weder anrufen noch eine Nachricht schreiben konnte und immer wieder nach oben gehen musste. Das finde ich wirklich nicht gut, denn es sollte immer jemand an der Rezeption sein, der sich um alle Anliegen kümmert. Das Zimmer selbst war in Ordnung, aber ich sah eine Eidechse und Ameisen am Waschbecken. Die Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig. Der Blick in den Dschungel war nicht schlecht, aber da auch Ameisen auf dem Boden waren, habe ich die Tür nicht geöffnet. Es wäre schön, wenn das Zimmer auch gereinigt und der Müll entfernt würde. Die Lage war allerdings super.

Ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt im Ammara. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war geräumig, sauber und ruhig mit einer guten Klimaanlage. Der Balkon mit Blick auf den Pool war sehr entspannend. Die Lage ist super, nur wenige Gehminuten von den Stränden von Legian und Kuta sowie dem pulsierenden Nachtleben und den zahlreichen Restaurants entfernt. Absolut empfehlenswert! Ebenfalls sehr zu empfehlen ist das Pad on Bene, eine tolle Resto-Bar, nur zwei Minuten entfernt.

Nice place close to the airport and maintenance rd. Booked deluxe room. Bed and pillows are super comfy. Rooms arent soundproof. They had a group staying on the same floor which were super loud. Staff are lovely.

Ich möchte zuerst das Personal für ihre Freundlichkeit und auch proaktiv zu beloben, wenn wir etwas brauchen. Leider war das, was ich die Dinge beloben... Die Bilder waren sehr irreführend. Wir fahren ursprünglich durch, da die Rezeption nichts wie die Bilder sieht. Es gibt ein neues Gebäude neben der Tür, dass die Einheiten jetzt sehen, was ein Eyesore ist die Hauptessenfläche nicht existierte, sondern wurde durch eine kleinere Fläche ersetzt . Das Zimmer hatte die grundlegenden Bedürfnisse, aber brauchte eine saubere. Insgesamt denke ich nicht, dass es den Preis wert war.

I spent 5 nights at Kose Villas Ubud, and this is one of those places where the setting truly shapes half of the experience. Location & vibe Kose Villas sits right in the middle of rice fields—quiet, lush, and instantly calming. It feels like Ubud suddenly switches to “slow living” mode. The views are unquestionable: absolutely beautiful. If you’re coming for serenity and scenery, this is exactly why you’d stay here. Important note about the access road One thing to keep in mind: getting to the villas involves walking/driving through the rice fields on a narrow path, with a small stream/irrigation canal running alongside. If you’re not a confident rider/driver (especially on a scooter), or if walking is difficult for you, this could be a challenge—particularly in the evening or if you’re carrying heavy luggage. The staff offer a motorbike transfer to and from the main road. I personally walked every time, and it took about 5–7 minutes at a relaxed pace. It’s a lovely walk—just important to know the setup in advance. The room: airy, high ceilings & a glass wall My standard villa felt genuinely nice: high ceilings, lots of space, and one full glass wall that makes the room feel even more open. I had a unit with a garden view and a small kitchen. I didn’t cook at all, but having a fridge was truly convenient (water, fruit, snacks—anything you want to keep for the next morning). There’s also a kettle, but oddly the only option provided was instant coffee sachets—no tea (a small detail, but in Ubud it feels like tea should be a given). Bathroom & shower The bathroom and shower are standard and fine. The only thing I noticed: the “hot” water felt slightly lukewarm, even at the maximum setting. It didn’t bother me—since the weather was hot, a cooler shower actually felt refreshing. But if you love a truly hot shower, it’s something to note (and perhaps for the hotel to check). What disappointed me A few things kept this from feeling like a fully polished villa stay: • No hair dryer—at all. I asked at reception, and it turns out the hotel simply doesn’t have hair dryers. For this type of stay, that’s a surprising and inconvenient omission. • Not enough lighting in the evening. During the day it’s bright and beautiful, but once the sun sets the room feels quite dim—there aren’t enough lamps for a comfortable evening (reading, working, getting ready). • “Shared” pool, but not really. I was a bit confused to learn the shared pool isn’t shared across the whole property, but only for two units (1 and 2). The place also seemed quite empty during my stay, yet I still wasn’t offered access to the pool. Not a huge deal, but it did feel like a service/communication gap. Overall Overall, I left with a positive impression, mostly thanks to the location: rice fields, quiet, gorgeous views, and a real sense of privacy. It’s a great place for a reset—slow mornings, nature all around, and that “Ubud green” backdrop. That said, if the hotel wants to consistently earn a higher rating, it should improve a few basics: provide hair dryers, add better lighting, communicate more clearly about the pool, and possibly check the water temperature.
