Beautifully situated amidst tranquil rice paddies, just 5 minutes drive out of Ubud centre; we fell in love with Waka di Ume. The location is just perfect, the staff are fantastic, the spa and pool are great. It is a small, quiet and intimate place and the service is impeccable, and did I mention those amazing rice paddies?! more

I would highly recommend the 'Waka' to anyone wanting a peaceful retreat in a truly lovely environment. We travelled to Ubud from Kuta and were blown away by the true tranquility of this place. After our luggage was quickly settled we promptly got into our swimming gear and headed for the amazing pool, ordered a cocktail and proceeded to relish... more

We picked this vila accommodation because we wanted to have quality time together and did absolutely nothing. Waka di Ume was recommended by a colleague and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The villa we stayed has 2 spacious rooms with 2 floors. The ground floor looks out to private swimming pool. The first floor has balcony that... more

From the moment we opened our eyes and had breakfast until the heavy falling shut of our lids it was a pleasure to be in such a place as this; surrounded by rice fields and charming locals this will truly be one of the things I will remember in my dotage. more

We enjoyed our stay here at The Waka Di Ume for the most part. The hotel is very esthetically pleasing. The staff is very warm and friendly. I thought that it was a little over priced for Ubud and what the rooms went for. Our group was 2 couples traveling together. What we didn't like.... My friends were disappointed that... more

Waka di Ume is a beautiful experience, at the same time completely rustic and entirely luxurious. The cottages open up to rice paddy fields. You have breakfast surrounded by lotus blossoms rising out of the fields, and dinner greeted by the fireflies. The staff - Lasmini, Sudiari, Karmana, Sumitri and others - wrapped in sarongs present an aesthetic delight. Their... more

We ABSOLUTELY loved the Waka di Ume. What an amazing place--gorgeous, beautiful location. huge luxurious rooms, amazing staff, fantastic food. We can't say enough about the place, everything was perfect. We had massages everyday and ate the most amazing fresh meals overlooking rice paddies and the valley or sitting alone in the "sit on the floor" dining room. Their staff... more

All the good things we heard and have now experienced for ourselves are true! Any minor quibbles, (e.g., overcooked pork chops!) not worth a mention. No plastic and chrome kitsch here...just spotless and comfortable room, beaut open air restaurant, regular reliable shuttle service for the 5 minute trip to Ubud centre. Tweens and teens would not find enough to occupy... more

On arrival we were upgraded to a Terrace Villa which was amazing - beautiful balcony to watch the ducks in the field, or local kids flying kites in the rice paddies - i've rarely felt more tranquil! It's only a small resort, but the staff have great hearts - they were awesome with our 2 year old daughter. The resort... more
