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.

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!

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.

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.

Highly recommend Komaneka Monkey Forest!! We were searching for last minute accommodation after our previously booked stay had problems with the AC working and put us in a very small room while on our honeymoon. We reached out to Komaneka about a room, which they were able to book us into immediately. We saved quite a bit by booking directly over the phone, and they were ready to welcome us immediately. Upon hearing it was our honeymoon, they filled the bathtub with rose petals, brought us an adorable and delicious honeymoon cake, and decorated the bed in beautiful art from palm pieces. The hotel grounds are gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the rooms spacious and perfectly clean. We were greeted each time we came and went by Ade, who is such a warm and kind person. We felt like we were at home! Thank you Ade and the rest of the Komaneka team! Truly above and beyond.

This is a comfortable hotel with a friendly, helpful staff located in a busy tourist area. Rooms are clean, well-furnished and pleasant. The photos on the web page led me to expect a patio or deck with an expansive garden view but our room had only a small, private, slightly claustrophobic patio (see picture) and a front window looking out at a wall. It is billed as a resort but it is more of an upscale motel with a nice swimming pool and very pleasant outdoor restaurant. On one evening they set up a small stage areas for some Balinese dancers who were quite good (better than the dance show in the nearby temple). It is an easy walk to the Monkey Sanctuary and a couple of temples, but the surrounding streets are so narrow and choked with motorbikes that walking ranges from unpleasant to dangerous (typical of high-traffic areas in SE Asia cities). The hotel is off the street so it is quiet and peaceful in the room and by the pool. I booked 8 days which was far too long; I ended up hiring a taxi to drive out of Budu for hiking on two days and spending three days in Lovina, on the opposite side of the island. I recommend three nights here then move to a different hotel in a mountain or beach area away from the chaotic traffic of the central areas. While you are here don’t miss Spice, a great restaurant just across the street and a few doors to the right: the ginger blossom ice cream is divine.

We stayed in Komaneka at Monkey Forest for 4 nights as a part of our honeymoon. We are so pleased we chose this hotel. Everything was perfect a wonderful welcome, lovely food, friendly and attentive staff, beautiful gardens, peaecful swimming pool. The hotel is close to the sights of Ubud, yet tucked away in a beautiful tranquil location. The lovekiest hotel we have ever stayed in, thank you.

Just returned from an amazing 3 nights at Kona aka monkey forest and loved every minute. The staff were so attentive and remembered our names making it feel like a very personable experience. You would know you were in the heart of Ubud, as soon as you walk in the quiet sanctuary descends. Had the most amazing spa session, would highly recommend this beautiful resort to anyone who values, peace, tranquility and beautiful surroundings. We will definitely return.
