The COMO Uma Ubud Bali is that rare gem of a boutique hotel. This is part 7 of our Bali’s best hotels & resorts series.

Join us as we take you through this Bali gem where you can always relax, but are still within walking distance to wonderful Ubud. We'll give you a tour and review this Como Hotels resort. I stayed here 18 years ago, and wanted to see if this place is still as good as I remembered. We've got all the info on what to expect.

I loved it there and across the road the most beautiful massage center

[@SwankGuide]

I didn’t know about massage center thanks for sharing

[@yvonneyu7567]

Would you please share the name of the massage center?

[@anna_m59]

$ 200-300 per night is completely on the higher end ! You can get less for half price a similar hotel in Ubud

[@SwankGuide]

$1500 a night is on the higher end that’s what the Alan or 4 Season run in Ubud. Can you let us know the name of the great hotel that’s $150 a night?

[@anna_m59]

@@SwankGuide plenty of them look at on Agoda

[@MarkBates566]

loved it there but the gym was small

[@SwankGuide]

Always great to get feedback from folks who have stayed. Thanks

[@mathilu4453]

Would u recommend it? We’re planning (3 adults) a stay in the COMO Suite (I think it’s called, the biggest room in the hotel)

[@SwankGuide]

When you say "it" - do you mean The Como Shambhala or the COMO Suite. If it''s the later I didn't go into the COMO Suit so can't help you there - sorry. Pls consider using our booking link above. Thanks!!

How much of a problem are mosquitoes in Bali? I know the island also has Dengue Fever

[@SwankGuide]

I juts applied bug spray every evening before dusk and was fine. I'm not sure about the prevalence of dunge fever but you are right it still exists there... and to be honest I dont know how to prevent it besides keeping mosquitos away from you. I'd do a bit more reserch. Good luck

[@carolinemarie3439.]

Pour moi le meilleur est le Como Shambala J'y allais souvent Le seul hôtel ou vous avez un hammam dans la douche de votre salle de bain La possibilité de manger dans la chambre . Une nourriture tres fine et tres fraîche et bio .9 hectares avec possibilité de nager dans une source naturelle avec une petite cascade et des soins de tres haute qualité Mais c'est tres cher aussi. J'y vais en cure de detox avec hydro du colon . Pour la tranquillité et les soins complets c'est le Numero 1 .

[@SwankGuide]

Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires et vos commentaires - toujours bon d'entendre les opinions des autres.

[@Stalker2509]

To be honest I was a bit disappointed. I mean the Hotel is nice and the location in my opinion is great. The breakfast is good but not more, it lacked of variety. I did not like the pool area or the seating options at the pool bar. Service was good, but not the best we had on bali. For comparison we stayed also at the Amankila and The Legian. Both have been fantastic, especially the Amankila. How does the como Ubud compare with the Como shambala? Is it worth it to spend the extra money? Needless to say I like your reviews :)

[@SwankGuide]

Hi Stalker... Did you see our review of the Uma Ubud + Amankila? Anyway - I think the Uma review answers your question and will show you the difference.. For the money... the Uma's the best deal inBali I think.

[@Stalker2509]

@@SwankGuide yeah I saw both and sure the price difference is huge, so if we take this more in the consideration it is probably the best value. It is probably unfair to compare them ;-)

[@SwankGuide]

@@Stalker2509 I think I agree... the are very different places and I love both - but you get so much for your $$ at the Uma and it's 90% as good as the Como Shambhala for maybe 1/3 the price....

[@mrporsche4236]

If only you could drink the water and eat the food and not get sick.Hence the name bali belly

[@SwankGuide]

I thought that was Deli Belly? Never got sick from the food in Bali
