GAJAH BIRU BUNGALOW SPA MASSAGEEXPERIENCE/ BALI DREAM UBUD SPABOTH THE SAME.DONT HAVE A MASSAGE HERE-They lack of care for their clients.-Massage was rough in some occasions.-face towel smelled old.-They both talked with another coworkers mostly all the time making us feeling really uncomfortable.-Mine even stoped making massage because she was busy talking. I even opened my eyes in order they noticed my discomfort but still they kept talking and I had to speak up.-We felt rushed at the end of the session.- they give you facial massage for long time and it was not pleasant.- the background music was cutting off.- they had the curtains not completely closed and there were men and a lady outside talking loud and waiting for those ladies to finish.Bad experience.That’s really unprofessional and rude.Not coming back.

The hotel is beautiful and well located as is the swimming pool area. The massages were amazing.On the other hand, I did not find the reception staff welcoming and the rooms were very dirty and poorly equipped: ants, stains, etc.

Terrible place. Cockroaches are scampering all over the bed. Everything is very old. We saw rats in the yard. Specific smell in the room. The pictures are just beautiful.

‼️No ‼️NO, run away from here. I don't know how it is possible to have positive comments, this is an old and terribly entertaining place, at a high price, there are many better and clean hotels in Ubud for the same price.
