We arrived at night and the road in looks dodgy but this could not be further from the truth. The position is amazing, with stunning views including from the lovely pool. Our complimentary breakfast was exceptional.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful (mostly very relaxing) location. The service was excellent & we enjoyed the restaurant. The only thing that disturbed us was the noise from the club next door until 1am on Sat night. We were in a double on that side of the resort so might not affect all rooms equally. Sunday night was quiet so we slept well then. Would recommend a stay but we would try to book a suite on the quieter side next time.

A stunning setting, fantastic views, gorgeous planting. Sadly, the property, especially the pool area requires maintenance. Pool tiles are missing in many places, the pool water stings your eyes suggesting the PH levels are not neutral. Some of the room facilities need replacing eg toilet seat and some fixtures and fittings were loose. In summary, we had a lovely stay but the hotel did fall a little below our expectations.
The view is BREATHTAKING. This alone should give this hotel 4 stars. Food & drinks from the on site restaurant is delicious and everything is perfectly priced. Definitely recommend this for anyone’s stay in Uluwatu
Amazing place to relax by pool wonderful Breakfast
Amazing place, the view during breakfast and swiming in the pool is breathtaking. Would have stayed another night but they were fully booked...clean simple room but if you want a place to relax by pool and really enjoy this is the place....we had free scooter parking in the front...

Great stay would come again!
Loved our stay! The breakfast was a full breakfast amazing! Multiple choices! We had an early flight so would have missed it but they had the kitchen box one up for us so we could pick it up at 4AM for our flight! Pool was beautiful! Relaxing place and very close to restaurants!
The hotel is small and intimate. Our cottage faced the garden and pool but had a sea view as well. The location is OK. Our taxi took us all the way to reception, but if you dont have a motorbike it's a bit of a walk to the restaurants on the busy main road - no sidewalks there. You can walk to Thomas beach back up off the main road, down a very long, steep stairway. The room is large and very comfortable. The staff are excellent! Desi and the others took great care of our every need. The AC was making noise but they repaired it as soon as possible. Beware, however, there is a popular beach club next door and one night they held a massive party until midnight. The hotel tried to warn us via email after we booked but we did not read it in time to change the booking. They comped us dinner. The restaurant has a limited menu but everything we ordered was excellent. Highly recommend Uluwatu Cottages. Contact the hotel directly, not through the hotel app, to see if there will be a party next door before booking.
This place has potential. Great service and decent food, plus great location. Pool also nice. The rooms need updating and some TLC. Had an issue with the door right away, where it wasn’t lining up properly to lock, but staff immediately helped and fixed it. The shower… I’ll just say the rooms need updating. The safes need to be bigger for laptops.

The view from the property is stunning, right on the cliff's edge and the staff are amazing, helpful and so friendly.
However, the property and rooms in particular are quite run down. We had stained, dirty sheets and filthy floors and walls. Also, there are massive gaps between the sliding villa doors and the outside world (there is no seal on the doors) so all kinds of creatures can enter your room - We had a snake greet us at the front door, coming out of our room as we returned after the day out, staff had to kill it on our door step.
The worst part though, Ulu Cliffhouse is directly next door so if you get a room backing onto Ulu Cliffhouse, you will have to deal with unbearable bass and music/noise from the club until all hours of the evening. We ended up checking out 3 days early and finding another property as we couldn't stand the noise after 1 night. If you're after a quiet stay, try and request a room away from Ulu Cliffhouse or choose another property.
I cannot stress how lovely and approachable the staff were though.
The property is in a good location with a great view over the cliff. It's walking distance to Blue Point area, and directly next to Ulu Cliffhouse. I was in a Suite room - everything was decent, clean, and the space / layout was good.
BUT:
The first thing you should note is that most top reviews are from 2018 or prior. We stayed friday, saturday and sunday. The entire trip we were blasted with music from the Cliffhouse next door. The bass is enough to shake the windows and the music isn't turned down till about midnight. Ear plugs are required and even then you can't escape. Do not expect a relaxing afternoon by the pool.
The pool was down for maintenance the entire stay. I understand these things happen, but there was zero communication about when or if it would be rectified. We went to use the pool on day two and were told it was being cleaned and could be used in 1.5hrs. After the person was done vacuuming we were told the pool wouldn't be usable that day. If they had told us, we would have gone to another pool earlier. There was also no compensation of any kind for not being able to use the amenities that we paid for.
My room sprung a massive leak on the last day - to where there was standing water in the room. This was from heavy rain. There again was no direct rectification of the problem. I had to ask for another room to use until checkout and even that went back and forth before I was given one.
