Guest sentiment
A Tribute Portfolio hotel in Lodtunduh on Ubud's outskirts, set among paddy fields, forest, and the Wos River, with a free shuttle into town.
Last updated August 3, 2026
Sthala, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, Ubud Bali sits in Lodtunduh on Ubud's outskirts, built with custom-designed rooms and suites set among lush paddy fields, dense forest, and the Wos River. Rated 4 of 5 across roughly 2,180 TripAdvisor reviews and ranked third of 14 hotels in Lodtunduh, it draws consistently strong praise for hospitality that guests describe as unmatched, with staff repeatedly called very nice and genuinely hospitable. The pools are described as very beautiful, and the breakfast buffet draws specific praise for its size and quality. Rooms and suites are noted for exquisite river and jungle views, comfortable beds, and pleasant balconies. A free shuttle runs into central Ubud roughly every two hours, taking about 15 minutes, which guests find convenient for reaching the town's restaurants, markets, and attractions like the Monkey Forest. As with other Ubud-outskirts properties in this directory, the main trade-off versus a hotel located directly in town is that the shuttle schedule, rather than walking, governs trips into central Ubud, and the property sits farther from the airport and beach-area resorts than any of Bali's coastal Bonvoy hotels. For travelers seeking an immersive, nature-set Tribute Portfolio stay near Ubud, it's one of the more consistently well-reviewed options.
