ancient hotel with history everywhere
big bedroom and big big bathroom
7.3
it's an old hotel with beautiful garden. bed room is big with local style design, bathroom is really huge/quiet/somber....take shower at night need more courage
the river is in front of our room, it's beautiful at daytime but little bit noisy at night, especially after raining...big noise.
Museum is wonderful, a quiet place to see everything without disturbance.
Hotel Feature Tip:
take suttle bus to Ubud city. If you want to walk, please walk through hotel and museum, it's better than walk outside.

Beautiful green site with a historical atmosphere
The villa - try the villa!
8
We stayed in a villa which was like a dream, with own swimming pool, but not the modern one but like a fountain, a small lake with waterlilies, the inside really like a piece of a palace, with an open bathroom, at the end a small lake with goldfishes and a stone shower, and a stone bathtube.
Travel tip:
Bali is a place with so positive energy, go and have a look at Yoga barn! I began my day there at 7 or 8:30 and it was amazing.
Choose the Eco-Bali bike trip with the Batur volcan and coffee plantation tour. this was the excursion where we learned the most about balinese people and living, their tradition.

Lovely place and very nicely done
Gives you the feel near to nature
6.7
I liked the location and how the hotel is build. It gives you absolute feeling of living in the nature due to its location and greed area. Only think which i feel it was lacking TV and rooms condition

An old lady that needs some help!
Gardens, Location , Museum
5.3
Arma has a great location and a lot of potential but is in desperate need of renovation. The rooms we were in smelt badly of mould, so did the pillows etc. A common curse in Bali but particularly here as the area is very damp.
The resort has a "luxury" tag but I would say it is closer to 3 stars and the price should reflect this.

Beautiful artsy hotel with stunning grounds
Fantastic grounds, Balinese rooms with outside sofas
9.7
I had a wonderful stay at Arma. The grounds are beautifully overgrown with plants and trees so you can barely see the other cabins. They all come with outdoor loungers for chilling out. The rooms feel very authentic and also everything you need. Good internet connection in rooms close to the pool (which is very tranquil and pretty). The staff were really helpful... even ran after me to return a silver necklace that I had forgotten. My room it had a lounge room and two separate outdoor areas. Quiet, bohemian and next to the museum so lots to see and do (silver making class was great).

A great place. Not as polished as other high-end resorts, but with lots of atmosphere and charms. Lovely grounds. All the rooms are different. Very friendly and helpful personnel. Can definately recommend.

Peaceful country retreat
quiet, friendly staff, free museum admittance, free wi-fi
7
I enjoyed my stay, mostly due to a free upgrade to a deluxe room overlooking the swimming pool where wi-fi reception was still in range. Lots of bugs (the resort is in the middle of rice fields with creeks passing through it) and the place needs a serious renovation. The museum is next door. Free shuttle to the village.
