Kenran Resort Ubud by Soscomma

Kenran Resort Ubud is a hidden gem in the heart of Bali that completely exceeded my expectations. Tucked away in the lush jungle, the resort offers the perfect balance of tranquility, luxury, and nature — a real escape from the busy world. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The staff were not only professional but genuinely kind and attentive throughout my stay. Every detail was carefully taken care of. The room was stunning — spacious, clean, and tastefully designed with traditional Balinese touches. My favorite part was the private balcony with a view of the jungle and river — it was pure serenity waking up to the sounds of nature. The infinity pool is absolutely beautiful and surrounded by greenery, making it a perfect spot to unwind and soak up the peaceful vibes. The on-site spa was another highlight; I had one of the most relaxing massages I’ve ever experienced, with the sound of the river in the background adding to the calm atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious every morning, with plenty of fresh options and great coffee. The restaurant also served amazing local and Western dishes throughout the day, all beautifully presented. Overall, Kenran Resort is a dream. Whether you’re visiting Bali for the first time or returning for a quiet getaway, this resort offers a unique and unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be coming back.

The swimming pool was very nice, providing a refreshing escape. The view of the forest was amazing, adding a beautiful natural backdrop to our stay. However, I did notice that the hotel is a bit old, which could use some updates. As for the food, it was just average—nothing particularly memorable. Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, the beautiful pool and stunning views made for an enjoyable experience.

The hotel may have once been very nice, but as of March 2025, it's clearly in decline. The property is poorly maintained — the lower floors are in complete disrepair, with broken infrastructure and visible neglect. Only the upper levels, where some of the standard rooms, villas, the restaurant, and pools are located, are in somewhat decent condition. Even there, you’ll notice weeds growing out of the walls in places. Overall, the hotel gives off the impression of being abandoned and run-down. During our stay in March 2025, we saw only two or three other young couples in the entire resort. On one hand, that might sound appealing — peace and quiet — but the deserted feel of the lower levels made the atmosphere rather unsettling.

Instagramable place to stay but mosquitos and insects are inevitable. Best staff and best service.

Good service, great view
