Guest Reviews
Having rented villas in Bali many times over the last few years, working out the 'right' place to stay for a reunion of friends fell onto my lap. Even prior to booking, Belinda quickly and patiently responded to my quirky questions, such as 'Is there fluorescent lighting in the living areas?' to 'Are there any electrical wires hanging over the swimming pool?' (after a less than positive experience in Seminyak). The arrangements and advice that Belinda made for us far exceeded expectations.
And having to co-ordinate 3 different airport pickups for three people arriving from three different continents wasn't a hassle. And Villa Kolibri was definitely worth the trip for all three of us. The layout provided each of us with the privacy we required, and the detailings in the villa were superb. From the arrival and walkway through the rice paddies, to the jungle wall and plunge pool that welcomes you, it was a fantastic welcome into the villa.
I would highly recommend Villa Kolibri and would love to return again, well, today!

3rd time in Ubud and first time with my wife and mum. I would definitely recommend this villa for anyone looking for a very comfortable and quiet remote place in the Ubud area. Villa Kolibri is just right in all ways if you're looking for relaxation and harmony. The villa is located 15min taxi from center of Ubud -important to know that you cannot really walk there but this is ok as taxi is only $5- and is truly amazing. Once you enter the villa, you immediately have this mixed feeling being in a luxury place but in the middle of the jungle! What an experience at night in the pool...! As pretty much everyone in Bali, Made and Wayan (taxi) will do everything to make your trip a unique experience. A very good experience for us 3 and we look forward to going to villa Kolibri again.

This is by far the best Villa in Ubud! If you want the best staff and most beautiful home you've ever seen, then book this home! I highly recommend it! Thank you Belinda and Made for such a wonderful stay! Aloha, Ryan

Our family of 4 stayed at two different villas in Ubud, and Villa Kolibri was the unanimous favorite. The large living room opens onto the patio and pool area and overlooks a spectacular view of the jungle. It is even better in person than in the pictures. The three spacious bedrooms, with ensuite bathrooms, are in separate buildings, and each opens up to the outdoors. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the sound of the jungle at night, especially after a rain. The pool was kept very clean, as was everything else, and the staff were very polite and responsive. We really enjoyed driving around and taking tours with Wayan, the driver. The complementary, made-to-order breakfast was delicious, and the dinner prepared at our villa by Chef Wayan was delicious also. Communication from Belinda was excellent, from the time we made the reservation and throughout the time we were at the villa. She gave restaurant recommendations, set up reservations, arranged for dine-in catering, and made transportation arrangements for us. We will definitely be back!

This is a magical home away from home. Peaceful, tranquil, and nourishing. The villa is nestled in a quiet part of Ubud away from the busy centre but you are still only a short 10 mins drive away from the hustle and bustle. Belinda was very quick and thorough with her communication and thought about all aspects of our stay before we had even arrived (including organising a chef (Wayan Suriani's food was an absolute delight!) to cook us a meal the evening when we arrived, having correctly anticipated that we may be tired from our journey that day). Made the villa manager and Wayan the driver/tour guide were consistently available to answer all questions we had and arranged everything for us quickly and effortlessly. The ladies kept the villa spotless and cooked us delicious breakfasts every morning (green pancakes are a must try!). Once breakfast was cleared and rooms made up, we did not see anyone again and had the villa peacefully all to ourselves. The villa even comes equipped with a massage table, a high chair, and an infant car seat which made a big difference to our stay. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated, while the bathrooms had large baths and showers. The mattresses were luxurious. The kitchen and living room were very spacious and the large glass sliding doors opened all the way allowing the outside in. The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed. The pool was refreshingly deep and the large shallow ledge that led into the pool doubled as a 'children's pool' allowing us to play with our 6 month old son comfortably. We loved our stay and would recommend Villa Kolibri to anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious stay in Ubud, close to hearty restaurants, coffee shops (we loved Seniman coffee), shops, yoga. Thank you Belinda and your amazing team
