About
Jungle Retreat By Kupu Kupu Barong
Jungle Retreat By Kupu Kupu Barong sits on the Kedewatan side of Ubud, within 3 km of the Ubud Kajeng Rice Fields Walk. It is a 4-star property in the Stay Atlas catalogue (the supplier's own description calls it 5-star), and it pitches itself as a nature-focused escape: rooms face the greenery, and the public spaces are built around open-air views rather than a formal lobby.
The hotel runs on a fairly small footprint — 77 reviews at the time of writing — and that scale seems to translate into personal service. Staff scores are the standout here (9.9), and the daily practicalities are covered: free private parking, valet parking, a paid airport shuttle, laundry, tours and ticket help, and a 24-hour front desk. The main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a Japanese option plus a rooftop pool and sun terrace for the views.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Staff who genuinely care — Guests repeatedly highlight the warm, attentive service, and the Staff rating of 9.9 is the highest category on the property.
- Jungle views from the rooms and pools — Rooms and the rooftop pool are positioned to face the greenery, and several reviews describe the views as the highlight of the stay.
- On-site dining with variety — The property includes a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a Japanese restaurant, and the breakfast buffet gets consistent praise.
- Spa and wellness facilities — Guests call the spa a highlight, and the property also has a fitness centre, rooftop pool and sun terrace.
–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Far from Ubud's centre, with a limited shuttle — The hotel is set in the jungle, away from the main town, and the shuttle bus runs on inconvenient, limited hours. Some guests found it restrictive.
- Uphill walks on the property — The terrain is steep, and guests mention an uphill walk to get around the premises. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues.
- On-site dining costs more than town — The rooftop restaurant has a nice view but is pricier than the restaurants in Ubud town, so eating on site adds up.
- Value rating is the weakest score — Value scores 7.9, the lowest category, which suggests some guests feel the price doesn't always match the experience.
- Check-out starts very early — Check-out is from 06:00, which is unusual and might feel early for those wanting a lie-in on departure day.
