Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud

Centrally located with plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby, along with the magnificent Ubud Water Palace next door. The gardens are traditional and immaculate, the women laying out the gorgeous Hindu offerings each morning. There were people staying but it always felt quiet and private. It was a relief to come in after being on the busy streets outside. It's actually easy not to leave... The swimming pool is pretty and inviting. Fountains and water features around the gardens created a peaceful watery soundscape, mitigating street noise, air conditioning units etc. The hotel restaurant couldn't be in a better setting than the amazing water garden, with its large colourful stepping stones weaving a track across the water. They are super popular with everyone. Also, it afforded a view of performances taking place at the Ubud Palace in the evenings. My room was a decent size with a generous patio with chairs, table and a divan for relaxing in the shade. It was clean and quiet and nicely set out, with a spacious outdoor bathroom with bath. Staff were lovely, and we were welcomed with a small blessing ceremony. Service was excellent, friendly and discrete.

My stay at Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud was exceptional. I booked a solo trip, and found that the hotel was serene even though it was in the middle of the main street in Ubud. the property and rooms were exceptionally maintained. Each room has its own unique door and all rooms came with private balconies. The staff were also wonderful. I really enjoyed my stay, and spent every moment I could in the adjoining Lotus Cafe where we had free breakfast. It has a view of the water temple.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve just checked in and are already absolutely delighted! The hotel is stunning — a beautiful combination of luxury and traditional Balinese temple style. The atmosphere is calm, cozy, and very charming. Everything looks elegant and well maintained. The location is excellent, right in the central part of the city, which makes getting around very convenient. We’re really looking forward to spending the next few days here. Highly recommended!

I spent a couple of days of my honeymoon here. The place is gorgeous, very well located and overall the staff is one of the kindest and friendliest I have seen so far. I loved the time we spent here, they made our stay in Bali to be perfect. Plus, they provided private tour days after and before our stay in their hotel. Musta (our driver) was exceptionally friendly and provided a very good service. The SPA as well was incredible. I would love to come back

We travelled as a group of 11 to the Puri Saraswati Dijiwa Ubud and we loved every moment! Such a beautiful experience from beginning to end, starting with the friendly staff who greet you and help with everything you need. This hotel has an old Balinese charm yet feels clean and modern enough you don’t compromise on comfort. The pool was cool and refreshing. The food at restaurant was always lovely especially the included breakfast which was 3 courses. Last but not least the location is the best and right in the action of Ubud… just down the road from markets and great restaurants all around you. Thank you for the extra care you took to make our Bali trip special!

My friend and I spent ten glorious days and nights in Ubud at Puri Saraswati Dijiwa. We loved our suite and had wonderful sleeps on the comfy beds and quality linen. Every day we enjoyed our pool time and relaxing in the patio area. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful! We always felt well taken care of. Massage therapist, Henny, has magic hands! Puri Saraswati Dijiwa is located in the heart of Ubud and it was easy to get around to our activities, restaurants and the markets. The hotel restaurant served us a scrumptious breakfasts every morning and we had many of our suppers there, too. If you’re looking for an authentic Balinese experience and beautiful surroundings, this is your stay!

One of the worst stays I’ve experienced. I’m genuinely unsure how this property has received so many positive reviews — perhaps I was assigned a particularly poor room. Here were the main issues: The room had a strong musty smell, which made it uncomfortable throughout the stay. The bathroom features a standalone tub with no separate shower and no curtains or partition to prevent water from splashing everywhere. It’s unclear how guests are expected to shower conveniently unless the intention is to use the tub every time, which is quite impractical. Overall, the experience was disappointing and did not meet basic expectations for comfort and functionality.

Very welcoming team and great service level.. Attached restaurant (also for breakfast) looks direct onto the neighbouring Water Palace. The rooms are set in traditional complex 50 metres back from the road, so serene & quiet break to return to after busy Ubud streets. Nice touch in our room (the higher option) was the 'outdoor effect' bathroom, which all fully private & covered & part of the unit, gave the feel of being outdoors. Highly recommend
