In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Every unit at Bidadari is a full standalone villa — its own private pool, an outdoor lounge area and a bedroom finished in traditional Balinese style. Reviewers keep coming back to how private it feels: more like renting a whole house than booking a hotel room. The bathrooms are roomy and come with an outdoor soaking tub, which fits the jungle setting.
Food and amenities
The food is the standout. Guests describe it as exceptional, and that holds for both breakfast and dinner. The on-site spa draws steady praise for skilled treatments and a relaxing atmosphere. The team is professional, communicates well and handles special requests — the kind of service that lands consistently in the reviews.
Location and getting there
Bidadari hides in green jungle just 10 minutes from central Ubud, and the property runs a free shuttle into town. That makes it noticeably more convenient than resorts set deeper in the hills. The surroundings are quiet jungle and garden — good for travelers who want real downtime but still want easy access into town.
Things to know before booking
There are only a handful of units, so in peak season it books out months ahead — plan early. The main outlook is jungle and garden rather than direct rice-terrace views, so adjust expectations if a terrace panorama is the goal. It scores 9.4/10 on Booking.com across more than 674 reviews, very high but a step below the 9.5 picks at the top of this list.
Our take
Bidadari suits couples and honeymooners who want maximum privacy with a private pool, without being stuck far from town. It carries a Tripadvisor Top 10% standing for Bali, and at around $226 a night for a standalone private villa at this level, it is strong value.
