Where do I start?! My partner and I have just returned from our 10 night stay at the Lokha and are missing it already. It was the perfect location to explore bali (as we aren't really beach goers) and took trips to the many beautiful waterfalls and temples, as well as climbing Mt Batur for the sunrise.
I read all the Trip Advisor reviews before booking and saw a lot of people complaining about insects - if you don't like bugs, wildlife etc then I wouldn't advise staying in this area but if like me you love nature and to be outside the hustle and bustle of the town then this is the perfect place to stay! The hotel is situated in a valley, at the end of the Campuan Ridge Walk, surrounded by rice fields and palm trees. We loved sitting in the open air lounge area having drinks, listening to the sounds of nature and watching the odd gecko scale the wall. The hotel also do a weekly fogging to keep mosquitos at bay in the open air areas of the hotel. And we never found the bugs to be an issue during our stay.
You can walk into Ubud town via the ridge walk (25 minutes) which is a beautiful walk and there are a couple of small warungs to get food from on the same road. Highly reccommed The Bamboo Kitchen and Karsa Cafe. If you...Where do I start?! My partner and I have just returned from our 10 night stay at the Lokha and are missing it already.

We ate at the hotel resturant a few times and loved the food and mocktails - the Satay Campur and Mie Goreng was a firm favourite - not forgetting the chocolate lava cake! The hotel also offer a free afternoon tea in the lobby (3pm-5pm) which was a lovely touch.
We stayed in a fully air conditioned Suite with beautiful valley views from our balcony and a queen sized bed. The pillows were so comfy! I loved the rainfall shower and the sunken bath. My only issue was, being 5ft 1 it was tricky to get in and out of the bath - so if you have hip or mobility issues you may wish to ask for a room with alternative bathing facilities.
Every single staff member we came into contact with at the Lokha were all exceptional - especially the resturant and bar staff. They were all so attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. Staff always greet you with a smile and a hello, even when just passing by.
Thank you so much for making our stay in Bali so memorable!
