Como Shambhala Estate, Bali Reviews

I can only say that if you don’t have a heart that loves nature, don’t choose this place. I stayed there for two days at a loss. Although the breakfast was delicious, this place is not suitable for us at all. The toilet is outdoors and you have to urinate and defecate with the bugs. The location is far away from the urban area of ​​Ubud, and there are no facilities suitable for us in the museum. There is only nature, nature, nature...

Como, the third hotel in Bali this time, is my favorite. A little more expensive than Six Senses, but the details are much more exquisite and the hygiene is very good. Let’s talk about what you like about Como: 1. The room design, the bed frame is made of thick bamboo, the partition between the bedside and the bathroom is made of rocks, the wardrobe is made of beige curtains, and even the drawstrings are made of orange beads, and all the windows and doors are diffused. The woven structure wooden door that lets in the light has a special sense of life in nature. Sunlight penetrates into the room. The ice bucket is also made of wood and is equipped with a wooden spoon. The pillars of the floor lamp are also made of woven wood structure. All lampshades are a slightly translucent beige. The material is similar to air-dried leather, the foot pads at the door next to the bed are particularly beautiful, and the keys also come with colorful beads on a chain~ 2. The floor is very clean, you can go barefoot, and the hygiene is very good. Six Senses hygiene is very poor, but the floor is not clean, so you cannot go barefoot. 3. Como’s breakfast is delicious and served a la carte with rich varieties. (The food at Six Senses was very, very little, very poor, the worst among the luxury hotels I have ever stayed in, unbelievable) 4. The staff was very patient and friendly. They took us to the natural swimming pool and walked back and forth for about 50 minutes. There was no deposit required when we checked in. When we checked out, we were given the keys and it was over. There was no need to check the room. We were given a welcome bouquet when we arrived. Wear it around your neck, call me by name when leaving, and give me a keychain. (Six Senses, I had to wait at least 20 minutes to check out and check the room. It was a very formal attitude and not warm at all) 5. The hotel’s natural swimming pool is very healing. The scenery on the way down the mountain is beautiful and secluded. It’s perfect for hiking. The outdoor spa is also in the valley. I want to go again, have a spa in the valley and lie by the sky-blue swimming pool.

The environment is very beautiful, with a sense of integration between man and nature, lush trees, swimming pools in the woods, cicadas chirping, frogs croaking, streams gurgling, and blue skies. But the facilities are a bit too old, the bathtub and toilet feel old. We were woken up by a group of monkeys on the roof the next morning. The little monkeys were very cute and non-harmful.

Setting: A haven from the world Service: Meticulous and thoughtful, it's almost the level of a meal Hygiene: perfect, also responsible for driving away geckos that strayed into the room

Resort hotel ceilings are expensive, but worth it

Did a wellness retreat with a friend & had the BEST time! Great massages & treatments, beautiful surroundings, delicious plant-based food, nourishing activities. I really enjoyed the Balinese gratitude ceremony with Yu Dian & the biking through the village with Sumara. We also got a personal assistant to help us schedule our wellness program & Maha was also so lovely !

We booked a 3-room villa. the standards are top luxury. the staff is very kind and professional. the estate is so quiet, charming and inspiring. it was a mystic experience for both my body and soul. the atmosphere is relaxing and very cosy. the big positive surprise is the walk around the estate and mostly to the spring pools that are closed to the river and in the middle of the jungle/forest.

One of the best hotels I have been to. Everything was simply perfect. A true balinese experience away from branded hotels. Spa, suite, outdoor area. Staff beyond fantastic. Food is healthy and tasty. Would visit again for sure. July is a great time

Staying at Como Shambala was a truly a transformative experience. Delicious food, breathtaking views, and outstanding services The estate has serenity that no other place holds a candle to. The resort itself is a haven nestled in the lush jungle of Ubud, with scenery straight from a book or Ghibli film. Our room was luxurious and comfortable, with an infinity pool, in-room sauna, outdoor dining area, and multiple areas to lounge - a sanctuary to truly unwind. We were also close to the dining rooms and the yoga pavilion for daily classes, which was a major plus. During my stay, I had the pleasure of having Dimas as my personal assistant. His attentiveness and professionalism exceeded our expectations and his pleasant demeanor was refreshing. He went above and beyond to elevate our experience and made all our needs were met. My husband and I felt well taken care of throughout our time there. Additionally, Ayu, from activities, lead many of our guided experiences provided by the resort. We had the opportunity to do a ceremonial blessing, hydrotherapy, and a bike tour with her. She was fun, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Ubud and we really appreciated her insights. She did a great job sharing and explaining parts of the ritual and significance in her culture. We highly recommend your stay here!

Wow! Photos do not do justice of the beauty of the grounds of Como Shambala. I have not done reviews in a while but felt absolutely compelled to share my recent experience. From check-in to check-out you felt the love and warmth from everyone I encountered. Everything was seamleaa. To be greeted by your name is a special touch that no longer seems to exist in hotels of this calibre. The rooms, estate, spa etc. Were exquisite. A special thanks to the resort manager, Dudi and my butlers Ayis and Purna for their kindness and attention. You are spoiled for choice with options in Ubud but if you are looking for a top notch property that has it all and want to spoil yourself - an enclave of respite and wellness Como Shambala is it.

I had the most amazing experience here and can’t wait to go back. I travelled alone and booked a wellness package. Every aspect of the service from the airport transfer to the checkout was impeccable. My assistant Tini helped organise every part of my stay, making my days seem less and relaxed and all with a big smile! The property is beautiful, housekeeping immaculate and the quality of the food is the best I had in Bali. The treatment offering above my expectations! Don’t miss the Pilates and Hydrotherapy. I also had 3 Taksu Massages, which were the best massages I ever had. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so special and see you soon again!

We had the absolute best experience here! We were in Bali for our honeymoon for 12 days, stayed at 4 different five-star resorts. Como Shambhala had by far the best hospitality. We stayed in como shambala suite in Tirta Ening residence and our room was beautiful and spacious, especially the outdoor bathtub and jacuzzi. Food was outstanding, we especially enjoyed the breakfast with the amazing view. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for better. We traveled around a lot but we've never felt more at home and welcomed. What made our experience at Como shambala stand out the most was definitely our personal assistant Wan (Kadek Setiawan). After finishing our 12 days trip, we can confidently say that Wan was the best staff we met in Bali. We enjoyed talking to him a lot and he was very helpful in many ways. When we were curious what other residences looked like, he showed us around rooms that weren't occupied. We were so lucky to have him as our personal assistant. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful property and outstanding service. We had personal attention from Zara....picking us up to ferry us to dinner, our bike tour and our massage. Everyone we dealt with exemplified that most Bali of qualities, an authentic friendliness and kindness. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely amazing staff, activities, villa, food, spa, property. Warm, beautiful people at your service from the moment of arrival. Organic healthy vast menus. Private exclusive options for activities. Ayu in Activities was so warm, caring, knowledgeable and incredible for the gratitude and blessing ceremonies. Dewa in Activities was super responsive, incredibly knowledgeable about Bali and Indonesia culture and history, went above and beyond to make each unique experience amazing. We can’t wait to return! Thank u Como staff!
