Delicious food, lovely room (I stayed in the room by the pool) and a free shuttle to Ubud. I had a wonderful time staying at Mandala Desa and could not recommend it more highly. Everything they do is crafted to make your experience relaxing and peaceful. It is truly a sweet boutique hotel.

Beautiful place tucked away in Sukawati close to the art market. They only have about 5 guest houses so we had a quiet, private time away from the usual touristy crowd. The villas were vintage and had scenic views of the rice fields and a nearby mountain. This place is about half an hours drive to Ubud center, but they... More

Jacinta, we missed you and I wanted to write my review for you and wish to tell you that you are one of the best hosts I have met, to date. I am sure that my children feels the same way too. Ollie misses the cute little trike :) Mandala Desa has a great view of the rice padi and... More

I received the warmest and kindest treatment. The hotel only has a few rooms (so you really get personalized attention). The rooms are all very nicely decorated and comfortable. The staff is just wonderful! They make you feel as if they were your family looking after you. The owners are a couple: Jacinta from the Netherlands and her husband from... More

because I do not want this place to be overrun with people who are not me and my friends. BUT I also want Jacinta and her staff to all be there whenever I can return, and unfortunately I am not in the financial position to be able to live at her place. And boy was it hard to leave. I... More

From Jacinta's warmth, to the charm of mandala desa, everything was perfect! Mandala Desa is tucked away from the otherwise touristy and crowded parts of Ubud (20 -30 minutes from Monkey Street). Our villa was impeccable (we had the one bedroom villa) and very functional, with the right amount of privacy. It had a beautiful front porch that looked into... More

Even before I mention anything about Mandala Desa, I want to first begin with the owner - Jacinta! She is professional, committed, resourceful, warm, super sweet and honest. We were offered a pick-up from Sanur by Mandala Desa and were expecting the driver to be there. But to our surprise Jacinta accompanied Ketut (the driver) all the way from Ubud.... More

For my yearly trip to Bali, I like to stay at different places and this time is no different. I always opt for small-family run establishments as I find that their service is more personal than the big-chained hotels. After reading reviews, I settled on Mandala Desa and I'm so happy that I did. The place is charming (minus the... More

Mandala Desa is the best accommodation we've ever been. The private luxury resort has only 4 rooms. Each room is spacious and immaculately clean (they clean it 2 times everyday). I love so much the view fronting our veranda of rice field and mountain, where you can enjoy your Balinese breakfast everyday. They provide complimentary afternoon teas and Balinese cakes... More
