Seen better days!!
Unfortunately this hotel has seen better days? I had a pool villa that was good, but seen better days? The restaurant (only 1 operating now) was basic. The hotel is a long way from Ubud on a very small and narrow road and did not have a shuttle service to Ubud - thus there are additional charges? However the highlight was the wonderful Art and antique collection the owner Peter has.

Dear Lyndon,Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.We are sorry to hear that your recent experience with us was less than satisfactory. Our Mads Lange Villa is our crown jewel which offers the exquisite experience of staying in a private pool villa surrounded by an extensive art collection dedicated to the famous Mads Lange. This particular villa is one of its kind with a distinct vintage style, and we are sorry that it did not suit your personal taste.We are located about 5 minutes away from Ubud central, which allows our surrounding environment to be tranquil and peaceful. Yet, access to the town center remains easy as our staff can always assist you to find a shuttle to the town centre.On another note, we are delighted to know that you took the time to explore Peter's personal art collection and we thank you for your appreciation.Best regards,

Fine
Very friendly staff but not a good location, no view over the valley like they pictures because trees are in the way, no umbrellas or shade by the pool which makes midday use impossible, the shuttle only goes into town not return so you waste money on taxis home every day, and we had no WiFi for 4 out of 6 days despite them promising they would fix it each day. A very nice resort but there’s a reason it’s so cheap

Quiet place - nice views of greenery
Nice view of greenery from the hotel room. Very attentive and friendly staff.Is about 15 min drive to the center of ubud - hotel provides complementary shuttle until 6:00PM. There is stairway from hotel property that leads to the river at the bottom of valley which has stunning views of nature - careful when taking the stairs as they can be slippery when wet. Had issues with the WiFi on couple of days during night/early mornings, but was fixed around 7:30AM after reception opens. Bottom line nice place to stay if you are looking for some quite time away from the city.

UBUD'S BEST KEPT SECRET As swallows swoop down over the lush Jungle and the bluest of blue Kingfishers dart towards the river, you’ll wish you’d brought binoculars. This resort is one of the few places in Ubud where you have a view over the pristine jungle. It’s a vista that is a spectacular treat, always changing according to the time of day and an absolute tonic to the soul. ‘Tanah Merah’ means red earth, and this resort is for tourist who wants to feel and see more of the authentic Bali. Our villa with it’s two four posters (TV, aircon,) was decorated thoughtfully with well-placed art. In fact anywhere you look, you will see carefully placed objects that are a feast to the eye, not to mention this resort has one of the most significant art collections I have ever seen - the exhibition doesn’t cost a cent to see and is a real insight into priceless Asian Art. From the art tour guide, the lobby staff, the drivers who take you into central Ubud for free every day, to the smiling breakfast staff nothing was too much trouble. (I also observed the cleaning team preparing an adjacent villa for guests and they were immaculate.) In short, we felt welcomed and at home from the start. An early morning swim in the pool over looking the jungle - pure bliss! I loved this resort! Hints; Ask for a villa with a view, the restaurant was underwhelming, the steps perhaps unsuited for young children and elderly, if you are after an ultra-modern, uber resort this isn't for you.

Interesting and quirky place
Best word that comes to mind is that place is a 'folly'. Large diverse art collection will not suit everyone's taste but certainly worth the tour. Great views over lush gorge. Huge rooms. Over-priced meals at restaurant charged in $US, but of only average quality. Worth stocking up in town as there are no nearby shops.

A hotel in the middle of nature.
This place was paradise. It is just 10-15 minutes away from the busy Ubud center street, located on a hill-ridge facing Ubud's beautiful raw nature. This place has a very calming vibe. We stayed at a villa with amazing views. The rooms are very cozy with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was very nice as well, with choices of local and western dishes. The pools at this hotel also deserve a mention as they are surrounded by nature. My biggest regret of this hotel was not staying an extra night.

The studio is NOT what is pictured.
I was very disappointed with my visit. The resort was lovely but our room was NOT AT ALL what we booked. I reserved the studio which boasts a balcony, bathtub, and separate living room. You can see the images, it looks amazing. What I got was a basic rectangle room with a bed and two chairs. No balcony, bathtub, or living room. When I complained to the on duty staff and manager they advised me they have 11 studios and not all of them have balconies (only 3 do) and not all have bathtubs (only 8 do), etc. They offered no compensation and I am left outraged that I so grossly overpaid for the room I received. Unfortunately this is the first time I have ever left a bad review. I hope they will update their listing to accurately reflect what they are selling.

This hotel is GORGEOUS! The staff is amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable. The breakfast could have more options but all in all its delicious. Spa and restaurant services are quite pricey compared to the surrounding area. Definitely take the time to see the free art gallery and museum, its been superbly curated. Interacting with the owner is less than desirable but the staff there really make up for it - plus he isnt on site too often.

Sorry, but it is average (in my opinion).
I did not know that the property is actually quite far from Ubud Center. But, it is fine, however, the food price in their restaurant is too pricey. Overall, the hotel is average, The best thing is that the view is amazing. The room that I had was very hot, it took quite awhile to cool it down. We have to wait till quite late night. The room is very spacious though. We are not recommending for going out late evening, as the mosquitos are very bad there. Also, I found cockroach in my toilet. haha.. The room is quite dark.., but it is fine.. The staff are friendly.

Very nice place to stay next to Ubud in the middle of paddy fields. One of the car of the hotel can give give you a lift for free to the center of Ubud whenever you want (until 5pm and only this way, you have to take a cab to come back) The studio is big with a nice bathroom and a little terrasse. 2 swimming pools with a great lookout of the jungle, a river is running down the hotel. The breakfast is the best we had had in many hotels in Bali. The restaurant is good as well but in US dollars. There is no place to eat closed to the hotel even with a bicycle (also free)

Breathtaking Hotel
The resort exceeded our expectations - the rooms are huge, the beds are comfy, the views are gorgeous, and the hotel staff is amazing. There aren't too many rooms/villas, so it's very quiet. The only issue for some may be the locations - it's removed from the Ubud city center, but the hotel has a free shuttle (one way) into town, that's about a 10 min drive.

Gives you an authentic feel of living in a forest resort. Being located in a naturally scenic location, the resort was full of mosquitoes, lizards and insects. As there isn't much in the surrounding (walking distance) had to mostly rely on the food provided by the hotel / resort.
