Komaneka at Monkey Forest

We spent 4 nights at Komaneka Monkey Forest. It is a beautiful hotel in the heart of Ubud walking distance to everything but a quiet respite from the chaos. Our room was quite large and the bathroom beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable. The yoga studio was beautiful as was the yoga instructor. The pool was also lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel each morning. The food and staff were lovely. Unfortunately, I ended up with Bali belly the last evening of my stay and called the front desk at 4AM asking for assistance as we were departing at 6:15AM for the airport. They said they could have a doctor come to see me but it would be faster to have the hotel driver take me a clinic which they did. He waiting for us and had us back at the hotel in an hour in good enough condition to make our trip. If we ever go back to Ubud we would stay there again.

From the moment we arrived at Komaneka at Monkey Forest, we felt genuinely cared for. Every team member was notably kind and attentive. They consistently went out of their way to make our stay perfect. Their warmth and ongoing concern for our comfort made us feel completely at home.||The hotel is a peaceful retreat, surrounded by lush greenery that creates a calm and intimate atmosphere right in the heart of Ubud. Everything is immaculate and beautifully maintained, from the public areas to the smallest corners of the rooms.||Speaking of rooms, they are spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. If I had to find one thing to comment on, it would be the shower pressure. It’s on the gentle side—not that I was expecting “Command 450” level power (Seinfeld fans will get that). But honestly, it’s a minor detail in an otherwise wonderful experience.||We also booked a private excursion through the hotel and spent the day with Ari, who was fantastic. His friendliness, deep knowledge of Balinese culture, and thoughtful attention to our comfort made the tour one of the highlights of our stay. Ari didn’t just show us places; he helped us understand them.||The breakfast is simple but made with quality ingredients. The pool area, while not large, is delightful—peaceful, well-kept, and surrounded by greenery. Every detail of the property shows care and pride in its maintenance.||Overall, Komaneka at Monkey Forest perfectly combines comfort, nature, and Balinese hospitality. It’s ideally located, impeccably clean, and run by people who truly love what they do. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay in Ubud.

We absolutely loved our stay at Komaneka. From the moment we arrived, the service was unmatched. Staff were so friendly and super eager to assist. They went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfection. Big thanks to Dani who took us on a private tour around Ubud (and even personally paid for our waterfall entry tickets when we had no cash on us!) and Ade for their warmth and hospitality.||Rooms were spacious, clean and thoughtfully appointed. Restaurant was excellent and breakfast food was fresh and plentiful every day. Villas are surrounded by lush and well maintained gardens. ||Would highly recommend staying at Komaneka. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Tastefully decorated in traditional Balinese style and very peaceful despite the central location. Yoga with rice field views was a highlight — with occasional monkeys quietly watching, which made it special and very “Ubud”. Delicious breakfast and consistently warm, polite service. Special mention to Ms Ade, the manager — a wonderful host who makes guests feel genuinely welcome.

Hotel’s staffs were taking such great care of us. The location is perfect — right in the middle of Ubud, with everything within a 10-minute walk. And the towels; Super fluffy and clean. Loved it.

Stepping into the Komaneka at Monkey Forest Hotel is like entering a peaceful oasis in the midst of Ubud’s hustle and bustle.|The hotel is conveniently located right in the centre of Ubud, so it’s easy to walk around the city, and many attractions are just 15–20 minutes away on foot.|Our room, although it didn’t have great views, was spacious, charming and very comfortable. The bathroom, with both a shower and a bathtub, was even larger.|At breakfast, there was a small buffet along with a menu to order from, and the food was very good.|The highlights of our stay were the exceptionally kind staff who exceeded our expectations, a deliciouos dinner with Balinese dance (extra cost), yoga lessons, afternoon tea, and a wonderful spa experience with a great massage.|The pool area feels like being in a jungle. While other reviews have mentioned that there are not many sunbeds, most guests seem to spend their days sightseeing, so there was always space available, at least that was our experience.

My wife and I are on our one-month honeymoon across Southeast Asia, and this has been by far the best and friendliest hotel we’ve stayed at. There were a few minor things, but honestly I don’t even want to mention them because I don’t want anyone to hesitate when booking this place. It’s truly amazing—especially if you want to be surrounded by wildlife and wake up to monkeys outside your window. What stood out the most was the staff and their exceptional service. They go out of their way to remember every guest’s name and do everything they can to make you feel welcome and special. Thank you for the two birthday cakes, rose petals bath, honeymoon decorations, and for making our stay unforgettable!

My father and I stayed at Komaneka at Monkey Forest in February, 2026. The staff went to great lengths to personalize our stay and ensure we had a great experience, including memorizing our names and writing our names atop the foam of our morning coffees! The location is perfect if you want to walk down the street to visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary or walk up the street to visit the Ubud Palace or partake in Ubud's nightlife. I also visited the Komaneka Fine Art Gallery during my visit and loved the watercolor paintings of Chang Fee Ming.
