Taman Harum

Hotel rooms we stayed in are in need of refurbishment, such as creaking doors and old bathrooms. For the price (US$50 or more) in Indonesia, better in-room facilities are expected like room slippers, coffee & tea making facilities, toiletries (instead of just shower gel & shampoo). Electric jug was provided only on request. The hotel surroundings are what sets it apart. Fantastic gardens and foliage. Great and very friendly service from the staff.

Nice artistic sanctuary hidden near Ubud.

Nice rooms in lovely gardens. Excellent staff, all very friendly and helpful. A bit far from town but a free all-day shuttle service solved that problem. A nice restaurant with good food and reasonably priced. The pool is nice but needs more shade, and more comfortable lounges. All in all very good value, I will certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

very good atmosphere , little bit far from ubud but have free transfer (i didnt use), breakfast was ok(not buffet),free wireless but charge for PC, nice pool i love it and reccommend

Taman Harum means 'fragrant garden', and we were very pleased with our choice. Although it is quite a distance from Ubud (just south of Mas), the free shuttle service was available on demand, and we were able to enjoy the quieter location by the rice padi. Breakfasts were very good, and we also dined there one night and were pleased with our meal. Our villa had ample space, and was very comfortable. We had our own little elevated bale, with a view over the rice fields, and loved to sit out there at night and listen to the bullfrogs. The plumbing was not perfect, but we figured it, and even had a couple of late night soaks in our outdoor hot tub. Its pool is small, which wasn't a problem, but it could do with a little more shade. We did not take advantage of any of the extra services such as woodcarving and cookery lessons, partly through not finding time, but also these seemed overpriced by Balinese standards. We would be very happy to go back to Taman Harum on our next Bali trip.

great setting. beautiful gardens. top food. courtesy bus service to shopping centre very frequent. beautiful furniture in rooms but air conditioning not too good.

Landscaping is very interesting and pleasand. Location even thought not good but free shuttle to Ubud is very helpful. Hotel driver are very helful.

The Taman Harum is an interesting contrast in many important factors. The preference of each traveler will determine the importance and weight of each. The location is off the beaten track. A good 15-20 minutes from the bext of Ubud; but, the hotel offers and excellent transport service till 10PM. Transport after this time is readily available for 20-30,000 rupiah. The hotel ammenities include an onsite restaurant, pool, sculpture museum and spa services. The restaurant I found be to be very bland and uninspired. The complimentary breakfast is good and beyond is better to dine elsewhere. The pool is very nice with an excellent view. The accomodations could use new bedding. A few additional features which you come to appreciate are the satilite television near the reception area and the polite service. The staff are very courteous and the shuttle service was excellent. I have personally stayed at several and would prefer the alternatives. This being said, should method and means land you at Taman Harum, with reasonable expectations you will be pleased with the value.

accueil incroyablement sympa, bel endroit cottage au milieu de la végétation, bien qu'un peu loin, à pied, d'ubud centre, mais une navette nous y amène pour quelques euros..très très bon rapport qualité prix.
