My wife and I stayed at Begawan Giri for a 3 day "Rejuvination Package" (incl. all meals, 3 spa treatments, transfers, etc) from 14 January this year. We were thoroughly enchanted with this romantic and secluded retreat at the edge of a rainforest and overlooking the Ayung River valley.The bridge access to the resort has now been repaired. Our suite... more

This hotel calls itself "Estate" - and that's really true. The grounds are huge and wind themselves around a curve of the Ajung River which flows down in the valley, about 300 steps downwards from the residences. The walk is a bit strenuous, but really worth it. You walk through a jungle like area, pass several little cabanas of the... more

We spent 4 nights here for our honeymoon and we have to say this is by far the best place we have ever stayed. Everything here is perfect, from the architecture and decoration (our place, wanakasa, has the most beautiful pool ever) to the food (the cooking class is a must do, and both restaurants are top value) and of... more

This was our first stop on a three-hotel stay in Bali for our two week honeymoon. We were originally booked at COMO Shambhala's sister resort, Uma Ubud, but were upgraded when the film crew of Eat, Pray, Love took over the entire Uma Ubud hotel. What a blessing! I had to give COMO five stars for value, since they honored... more

They may be nice to residents but don't try booking the spa as an outsider. I tried but after a 2.5hr drive there was left standing on a makeshift bridge to the hotel (the main bridge has collapsed) while the English-sounding Spa Manager called me a liar. Despite my villa manager having confirmed my booking the day before - a... more

Absolutely wonderful experience. Excellent service, food and accommodation. Could find no fault with anything. The most relaxing, hassle-free holiday I have ever had. more

When we arrived in the estate, our jaws nearly dropped from how exquisite the place was! Everything was nicely balanced with nature and you can tell that the whole resort was based on its surroundings. The room we had was lovely and it overlooked a stunning view of trees. You can also hear the river on the background and it... more

We stayed at Como Shambhala Estate at the end of August and it was one of the best hotel experiences we ever had. We stayed in a regular garden room. Don't expect too much from the rooms. They very nice, very clean but the bathroom looks a little bit dated and would need some refurbishment to match with the high... more
