We stayed in Villa Semana for four nights during our vacation in Bali in November.It is really a very relaxing place far away from crowd.It is perfect place for people seeking for a quite retreat.The Villa is every inch perfect with all small details.The rooms are well clean with conplimentary fruit tray and a vase of "sedap malam"local white fowers that gives out a fragrant smell to the room. We requested a river view villas and it was a 2-bedoom duplex villa it was very comfortable with a spectacular view.It also has an outdoor shower.The view was breathtaking in Villa Semana from the swimming pool.I have to special mention the staffs in Villa Semana they are all very polite,friendly and helpful.All the staffs tried their best to make us feel comfortable and welcome.The restaurant food was very delicious we loved the spring rolls the satays meat skewers with lemon grass and my top favourite is the best Nasi Goreng I had for breakfast I ordered it every day in the morning during my stay so tasty and someting 1 will really miss.The hotel has a beautiful outdoor spa by the river.I was so relaxed after the balinese massage a must try to experience the outdoor feel of pampering time.The hotel provide free shuttle to ubud city that we appreciated very much.We only stayed for 4 nights so we did not have opportunity to try everything the hotel has to offer we were told by the guest relation they can arrange candlelite dinner by the poolside.Balinese cooking lessons and yoga..Will have to stay longer the next time in Ubud.Grounds of the hotel are also exquisite and well kept.I wish I could have my own garden like this.I would like to recommend this hotel foe people seeking for quite relaxing atmosphere and breathtaking views and a little bit of "my own time"far from crowd..I hope one day i can visit again this Villa Semana..I enjoyed every single day staying here..

My girlfriend and I had the most fabulous time at the Villa Semana Resort & Spa.
A secluded spot and with incredible natural beauty, the corresponding rice fields, waterfall and river create a highly relaxing atmosphere and the perfect place to unwind. The traditional Balinese architecture is authentic and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
We visited the Semana Spa in what was one of the highlights of the trip. An amazing full body massage (which spanned over an hour) was then followed up by a warm bath and with lovely sparkling wine and a delicious, traditional Balinese lunch. This was certainly the best massage I’ve ever had and this experience will stay with me for a long while to come.
Another highlight was a visit to the local market and cooking class, organised by Wisnu. Wisnu is a delightful person and earlier in the trip also arranged a romantic candlelit dinner for us. The cooking class was very enjoyable and Wisnu took some great photos and was even kind enough to share the receipes with us. We will be sure to try and perfect them when we return home to Sydney!
All in all I couldn’t recommend Villa Semana Resort & Spa more for anyone wishing to find a romantic stay, outside the hustle and bustle of Ubud city centre and to unwind.

Villa Semana is a wonderful stay arrangement at Ubud. Situated along the rice fields and the Ayung river, the beauty is breathtaking. We stayed there for four days in the 1st week of Dec. Accommodation and the facilities at the resort are of the best class. Cleanliness, maintenance and layout are of the highest standard. The restaurant may have a limited menu but every preparation is delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a free shuttle running twice a day to Ubud market. A perfect getaway for honeymooners, artists, authors and family.

The pool in the room is much smaller as shown by the resort in their pics, they donot change washroom accessories everday. Food menu is very limited but it is okay. In the name of breakfast you have only one option to use from that limited menu. The last is about spa it is totally worthless. Not value for money,many other spa services are available in ubud where you can get better spa at much lower price

This is the worst hotel we ever stayed at. For a starter they do not have a manned reception but we were told that we could call them 24/7, and we could but when calling in the morning for breakfast we had to try to reach them for more than 30 minutes the same happened when trying to call during the evening. Second when you take a shower it is outside with view over rice fields, and a walk path which means very often people are standing just outside so you have no privacy when showering. Third it looks very romantic with a Villa in the “jungle” but please be aware there are a lot of reptiles and other animals outside which is okay, but the rooms has huge air gaps everywhere so the reptiles can enter your room. Over the bed there is luckily a mosquito net. One night suddenly a 30cm long gekko jumped down on the net just above our heads runs and jumps to the wall and out. After that for me as European it is very hard to fall asleep again. Also be aware the hotel is located a bit remotely from other restaurants and etc. but you can order food at the hotel. First day we ordered lunch it took more than 1hour before we got the food and only one other couple was at the hotel at this time, and sorry to say, it was the worst meal we had in Bali, but on the other hand, it was also very expensive compared to Indonesia. And last but not least the Wi-Fi does not work in the rooms.

Dear Y8271JSbenjamind, Thank you for your stay at Villa Semana Resort and Spa. We deeply regret your unpleasant experience during your stay with us . We fully understand your discomfort and wish to seek your understanding. Even though our hotel grounds are fumigated regularly and all villas treated by a mosquito coil every evening, we have greatly reduced but cannot completely eradicate the geckos, insects and other small animals move freely in the natural tropical surroundings, particularly due to our proximity to the jungle and padi fields. Moving forward we have put in place protocols for our staff to deal with any insect by promptly removing them from your premises followed by a fumigation at the earliest possible time, and if needed provide an alternative villa for your comfort and assurance throughout your stay. We have noted your comments regarding the outdoor showers. As Villa Semana is surrounded by villages and working padi fields, farmers going about their daily lives are part and parcel of our landscape and are an authentic display of life in Bali. Although they may move around close to the perimeter of the hotel, please be assured that they will respect your privacy and not cause any discomfort during outdoor shower use. Alternatively, our guests can use the indoor shower in Bathtub. We acknowledge the lapse of service during your stay and sincerely apologize. Your experience with us is in no way reflective of the high standards have set for ourselves. The Covid-19 pandemic has devastated much of Balinese tourism, and although we have endeavored to retain our service standards through rigorous re-training as our staff return from a long period of hotel inactivity, it is evident that there are gaps resulting in a less than perfect guest experience which we truly regret. With the global economic recovery and gradual return to normality, we have fortunately resumed normal operations and staffing, and look forward to providing you with the exceptional Villa Semana experience that many guests come back for time and again. Once again, thank you for choosing Villa Semana and we hope to welcoming you again at Villa Semana. Best regards, Ayu Manager

Very nice but somewhat secluded villa complex. Super friendly staff!!! Rooms very clean. Not recommended for those looking for peace and quiet in the evenings as loud music from a volleyball court can be heard in the rooms. During the day, however, it is wonderfully quiet

We stayed at Villa Semana at the start of our trip and it was amazing. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and the location is absolutely stunning. It’s such a tranquil haven away from the crowds of Ubud but with the shuttle service you can easily get into town.

Very nice place and wonderful staff. My wife and I stayed there with our adult daughter for 5 nights and loved every moment. The resort is set in idyllic surroundings, next to lush paddy feilds. and a fast flowing river. Great place to be one with Nature and recharge. The rooms are the right mix of traditional charm and modern comfort. We havent met more hepful staff; they went beyond duty to make our holiday the best we have had.

Dear Summy,
Thank you for your question concerning about the construction at Villa Semana. Actually construction near the main pool has been finished. We have just built up a small wall near the cliff by the main pool. It had to be done urgently even on our high season as this is for our safety issue for our guests. Recently we saw many people did some photos by the cliff.
Do let us know should you intend to make a booking for early October. Please email us your inquire to our official email address for further information.
We hope to welcome you at our little paradise Villa Semana.
Best regards,
Ayu
Dear Sammianth,
Thank you for your question regarding the possibility for a mother in wheelchair to stay at Villa Semana. Most of our villas have few steps. We got 2 villas suit to a family of four but both of them are no accessible for a wheelchair as they have many steps to go in to the villa. However, we have 2 villas which more easier to access. Our Pool Garden Villa has easy step. This two villas is side by side ( It is not connected each other ). For further details do send us you email address. We will send you some more pictures about the two Pool Garden Villa for your idea.
Thank you for your inquire and do feel free to let us know if we may be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Ayu
