Guest sentiment
An eco-focused, long-stay-friendly Element hotel on Jalan Raya Andong near Ubud's center, with a saline pool and wellness-oriented amenities.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Element Bali Ubud sits on Jalan Raya Andong close to Ubud's center, positioned between the town's rice-field surroundings and its main attractions, with the Element brand's signature long-stay and wellness focus running through the property. Rated 4 of 5 across roughly 760 TripAdvisor reviews, it draws consistent praise for good value, a large saline swimming pool, and a spa at the on-site PancaMaya Wellness center. Guests frequently highlight the brand's complimentary Rise breakfast and Relax evening reception as strong value-adds, and rooms are described as spacious and clean with modern amenities. Staff are repeatedly described as warm and welcoming, and the hotel's shuttle service and proximity to Ubud Palace and the Campuhan Ridge Walk are cited as practical conveniences. Watchouts are mostly minor: a few reviewers note occasional inefficiencies in service and some mention humidity or maintenance issues typical of Ubud's tropical, forested setting, and some guests feel the overall experience falls short of a true five-star resort despite strong individual reviews. For travelers who want an eco-conscious, wellness-oriented Bonvoy stay near central Ubud rather than a large luxury resort, it's a solidly reviewed choice.
