Reviews of The Samata by LifestyleRetreats 4 stars

great place and pools to hang out. would book again

Quiet place

The hotel is very run down, with facilities that are old and not well maintained. It’s clear that the property is in need of renovation. While the restaurant food was acceptable, it wasn’t memorable and did little to improve the overall experience. We booked a room advertised as suitable for four people, but on arrival found it wasn’t the case. We had to request an additional bed, which was inconvenient and disappointing given the price of the room. Overall, the stay was disappointing. The hotel does not live up to expectations, and unfortunately, it does not provide good value for money.

Spacious resort and pools nice the gym was best on town but air conditioner not always working The staff were great very helpful etc We got a discounted rate via booking. com and it was value for money compared to normal going tariff advertised.

Internet a bit intermittent Property is a bit tired in places. Location isolated you need a taxi to get to and from sanur etc

It’s a nice property with good views over a Rice paddy, room was spacious & shower with dual head was good.

Location, not much to do & the farmers are out early banging to scare birds from the rice. Finish I. The villa was poor & the AC insufficient for its size. Food was mediocre & staff not particularly attentive.

This hotel is absolutely lovely, we had a pool room with a view over the rice paddy fields. The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was huge. It felt like we had the hotel to our selves as there is only a few rooms. The staff were exceptional and the breakfast was an al a carte menu which had enough choice for everyone. The property is about 20 minutes drive from central Sanur, we had a moped so was not an issue. The gym is also huge and has everything you would want, there are 3 x pools that can be used as well, if you want to do lengths. This place is for people who want luxury and in a quiet location, perfect for relaxation. Would highly recommend and would love to go back

Very friendly and prompt service; very clean Room was very clean, large and spacious toilet, large balcony Nice environment, felt very peaceful

Slightly on the outskirts of town but not a big issue

I loved the ambience of the hotel..it was quiet and beautiful. I loved the food in the hotel.

There's nothing I didn't like

The staff at the Samata couldn't have done more to make our trip more special. The location is about a 30 min drive from the beach in Sanur in traffic so easy to get a taxi. The hotel is like the perfect oasis to relax and fully unwind. We dis rhe spa and the pricaye BBQ in our villa, both which I would really recommend. You will not go wrong staying here, it is very special!

Really nothing at all!

The resort is a little oasis in the middle of the caos, the staff is gentle and professional. I really recommend staying in the resort and have a good time.

great swimming pools.

the standard of food has dropped significantly since our last stay. very poor chef.

Pretty grounds, helpful staff

The resort was peaceful and had a well equipped gym.

The evening meals that I had were very bland and the meat was very tough.

We had an incredibly relaxing stay at this spacious resort. The daily massages were a true highlight — such a luxury to unwind every day in a peaceful setting. The gym was fantastic, well-equipped and clean, which made it easy to stay active during our trip. Service was consistently amazing — warm, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The location is also great: you can take a lovely walk through rice terraces or the nearby neighborhood to reach the beach, and there’s a conveniently located mart just around the corner for essentials like water and snacks. Though it’s situated just off the highway (super handy for heading out on day trips around the island), the resort itself is very quiet and serene. Our bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we slept so well each night. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a restful, well-connected base in Bali!

Some of the building finishes needed repairing. Water bottles are small so we ended up getting bottles from the conveniently located mart nearby

Large spacious room

Up a flight of stairs, no lift available. Pretty isolated. Ocean views were there, but in the distance.

Privacy, space, rural view, huge private pool. Amazing helpful staff. Well designed villa, extreme clean . Quiet location. Lovely watching bats of all species and crazy soap opera of sparrows each day. We even saw a Balinese porcupine make its way across the front of our villa. Working rice paddies were spectacular. Good breakfast, every wish granted.

Location a little isolated, but could still book grab cars to where we needed to go. Some room furniture a little aged but given Bali climate that’s understandable! Menu a little limited, again understandable given the resort was very quiet.
