This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

It's wonderful to know that PERFFECTION exists and that of all places in the world, it would be Bali. I have been there twice in my life and I think that it is time for a return.Looks like this resort is just what I need, thank you for the inspiration! I have been following this series just for that reason.
So happy that it passed on a bit of inspiration! Thanks for watching 🙏
Congratulations on your 100th video. Consistent content, cinematic experience, exceptional narrative and beautiful music. Well done Kevin, you should be very proud of all 100 videos👍
Thanks very much Vanessa! It's certainly been a journey so far.
Congrats on the 100th video and what an amazing video it is! Have always wanted to stay here but was always got distracted by the other hotels on offer in Bali. I think in Bali we are definitely spoilt for choice on where to stay. Thanks for showcasing Como Uma. Now, I know it would be one of my next Bali stays including the Intercontinental you featured haha. Thanks again, Kevin. Safe travels
Yes, Bali (and Phuket) are two islands in the area where the number of great places to stay are just kinda overwhelming. I'll be exploring for decades to come! Thanks for watching 🙏
Congrats on the 100 episodes Kev, very solid achievement considering the quality and effort put into each and every episode!
Thanks very much! 🤩
We stayed here during our honeymoon in Bali (along with Alila Ubud, which we loved last time we visited Bali - Happy to see that you did too!). We've been watching your videos for a while now and we booked Como Uma solely based on your review and I have to say, it matched our expectations and more. The attention to detail, flawless design aesthetic and incredible service at Como Uma made it by far the best hotel experience we've ever had and it really did make our honeymoon memorable.
Thanks very much Kevin - We're on the lookout for our next big trip in November time, so keep the reviews coming!
James & Lauren
So glad you enjoyed!
Congratulations on 100th video. All your videos have been pleasing to the eye and detailed without ever being boring. 🥂 to the next 1000 !
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Congrats Kevin on your 100th video, the video and grounds were peaceful and suptuouis, well dopne. Aloha from Hawaii
Thanks very much for watching, as always 🙏🏻
Ah that took me back Kevin, thank you, it's appreciated. And congrat's on your 100th!!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Congratulations on # 100 ! You create excellent travel videos- keep up the great work !
Thanks very much for watching 🙏🏻
Great video as always and congratulations on the 100th upload!
Thanks for watching 🙏
You make this property seem ‘magical’, without any effort .. I’m going to save this video , as it’s the kind of place I’d like to bring my wife to ; once we’re married ! .. not cheap , but then perfection isn’t .. thanks for sharing your experience here .. I’m watching your Bali series with great interest - it’s been a ‘dream’ destination of mine for quite some time now .. thank you 🙏 Kevin .. peace ✌🏻.
Thanks very much for your kind words and for watching 🙏🏻
Congrats on 100 episodes. Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Congratulations are in order for your 100th video; you've once again outdone yourself with this outstanding review! Hopefully, many more to come! The perfection (to use your words) of the resort is perfectly captured by your words and visuals as well as by the passion that drives you. Very much looking forward to your video on the industry and your thoughts about it!
P.S. I stayed at the COMO in Bangkok a few years back and still remember the bed being the best I've ever slept in. Just saying for a future video ;)
Oh I think it’s fair to say all 14 Comos are on my list now haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wow! Your becoming a competitor to “The Luxury Travel Expert” . Great and details videos :) thank you. Please continue posting luxury hotels experiences
Thanks very much. The luxury content won’t stop, but there are some really underrated 4-star and speciality properties out there that will be included as well :) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wow! I wish I had the money to experience it.
I am so impressed with the outdoor landscaping. Such perfection. They blur the lines between outside and inside. I love the muted colors of the interiors. Just stunning!!
Thanks for watching 🩴
The pizza at Uma Cucina was delicious. This is such a reminiscent video for me since I love staying at Como Uma Ubud. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thank you for this beautiful video Kevin, will definitely book this place next time I am in Bali, have fun In Jakarta
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wow 😍😍😍
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Fantastic review Kevin - booked a stay on the back of it. Keep up the great work, love your channel.
I've had multiple Patreons visit this Como and gave fantastic recent feedback. Hope you enjoy it!
Love this video so much that I followed your advice and booked it. Thanks for your insights!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I will check it out, thanks for presenting this one for us.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Beautiful landscape.. garden..n park.. Bali is number one
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Omg!!!! Serenity ♥️♥️
A fitting description! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
wow I like this resort it is so natural
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
congrats to number 100. keep going mate
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Another great assessment, the 2nd presentation that I have watched and enjoyed.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Hmn congrats for the 100!! I was previously super decided to try Mandapa Ritz Ubud, but now you make me wonder... ;)
Wondering is always a good thing! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Really like your approach to reviewing, your style and content. These places are out of budget range but aspiring one day ....
Thanks very much for your kind words and for watching 🙏🏻
great video, I recently stayed at their Canggu property and loved every minute of it. Great rooms, services and breakfast - I'll be staying at COMO hotels again
I’m really looking forward to trying their Canggu location- recently just stayed down the street from it without realizing. Thanks for watching 🩴
Long time viewer, first time poster. First, I really enjoyed this video, it was informative and entertaining. The other thing I want to mention is that your camera work is amazing. When you pan, it’s a slow, smooth pan. A bunch of other creators whip that camera or phone around as if getting ready to throw a frisbee. The thing is, many of your viewers are watching on a phone or tablet. Relatively small screens, so every movement is magnified exponentially. I watch on my tv, so your effort to make things smooth didn’t go unnoticed. Plus your editing is spot on, and the script is written and delivered very well. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate the comments about panning... I cannot explain to you how long it took to truly learn to do it correctly. What looks kinda fast on screen is so awkwardly slow in person to film haha.
Thanks for sharing! Totally agree with you! Keep up the great work?
Thanks very much for watching 🙏🏻
Fantastic video. You've really captured the essence of the Como brand. Have stayed here several times, and it seriously is an amazing hotel.
They did have another yoga shala when I was there located near the spa overlooking the valley which was stunning.
If you get to Bkk stay at The Metropolitan, another great hotel in The Como line up
It's certainly on my list in Bangkok now! Thanks for watching 🙏
New viewer here. Thank you so much for your in depth review. I was on the fence about many hotels for my honeymoon this summer. I’ve gone ahead and booked the COMO based on your review and the fact you recommended it so much! I hope it lives up! Thanks
Enjoy your trip 🗺️
High praise indeed! 😊
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻
Happy 100th! Hope you keep doing more videos and getting new subs! Got any plans to go to the Philippines?
Not set in stone yet but I'm pretty sure it'll happen at some point during 2023. It's a quick hop for me, just surprisingly little connectivity between PH and VN. Thanks for watching 🙏
Wow I must off walked past this place so many times and not noticed. Looks great, I want to go back to ubud soon but I beleive the tourists have arrived in full swing and not a place of culture any more. 100 episodes looks like I still have some catch up to do. Great work love it.
Yes, from the street it certainly doesn't stand out- but that's kinda what I love about it! Thanks for watching 🙏
It's very beautiful hotel and thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you for your effort Kevin. Nice work. If any of the Como Uma staff read this - please know, I am coming to stay, with my wife - based solely on Kevins review. Looking forward to it. Thanks again Kev.
Thanks very much- I'm glad it helped guide your hotel choice. Feel free to share it with them when you go. I'm in no way affiliated with them (or any hotel) but I'm sure the staff there would like to see it. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I'm your Fan.
great video.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Impressive indeed - I want to stay there!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I was just there last month I’ve been going to Como Ubud for the past 10 years.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Surprised with that score !! I’ve been to many resorts and hotels that you went to and didn’t expect this old resort could have highest points
Age rarely affects my scoring one way or another- but often I find older well maintained resorts more impressive than newer resorts with crap build quality.
I just discovered this review and liked it so much - Ive stayed here myself and agree that it’s very tranquil and a very special property - Bali is so close to home for me and is always changing. Just a point - I think I was hearing -U bud and not U - bood as it’s pronounced - perhaps I misheard - in any case congratulations on a great video and review
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I am going!!! Thank you!
Have fun! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I am challenging myself to watch as many videos of yours as I can. Might as well start with the highest rated!
Wow. That looks amazing. I now need to plan a trip to Bali to take my wife there.
Enjoy the binge! Thanks for watching 🩴
You should try Como Shambala Estate. It's a bit to the north of Uma. But, it's the landmark property of Como in Ubud with focus on wellness.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Happy 100.
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
I have stayed in the same hotel some time ago. Unfortunetelely the room that I was assigned to looked outdated as in need of renovation. By far a perfection.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
All videos are great. Chosen perfect what ppl. May actually visit
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Oh my goodness, that breakfast!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Rewatching...cuz your format is better than all the rest.
Lol thanks
I would have thought 500 usd or something haha. Very enlightening. Thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you for the video, well done on 100. With regard to the morning offerings (canang), you mustn’t have been staying at the right Balinese resorts, of the many I have visited, nearly all have a shrine which is attended daily with that same ritual. Keep up the good work😊
The part I mentioned that was unique was that there were individual offerings placed at each guest room. Having and maintaining a shrine yes I know happens at every hotel 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Congratulations on the big 100!! Excited binge your more recent videos. Thanks for all the effort you put into these!
Regarding the COMO, it looks like this place is going to be number 1 on my list of resorts to try in Bali. Interesting because I had a very mediocre experience at the COMO in Phuket.
I’ll be honest it’s been a while since I’ve been so excited to find and explore a new brand. Thanks very much for watching 🙏🏻
Hi Kevin, I like a lot of your hotel & resort reviews, I'm your new subscriber and I must say that you are the best hotel and resort reviewer I've ever seen on UA-cam so far! I would love that you try to review at once"The Kayon Jungle Resort" in Ubud if you come back again to Bali. I was there at once for couple of nights, and I like it a lot. I just need to know your opinion 😉 Keep up your amazing job dear and you should earn more subscribers.👌🏼
I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Ubud is amazing
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
This is an amazing video, thank you! Just wondering if they provided milk or cream for your in-room coffee.
If it’s not shown in the video, off the top of my head I don’t remember if it was in the room already, but would certainly be available for free if asked for. Thanks for watching 🩴
Really lovely production quality amongst everything else - the content etc. May I ask if you use a Smart Phone or video camera for recording your footage? Thanks.
Everything in this video was shot on an iPhone. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Excellent. May go on my list - the 90 min from the airport is a bit of a drawback for me.Though if I do I hope I'm lucky enough to get the same massage therapist.😄
To be fair 90% of hotels in Bali are at least a 45 minute drive from the airport midday- so it's all relative lol.
I looooove ubud
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I live in jakarta, thats nice recomendation resort
Thanks for watching 🩴
Really nice review! We‘re going to stay there next month, Iam excited to hear it really is a nice place…are you also going to Manggis to stay at the Amankila?
Mahalo Phil
I am waiting for the day when I see an Aman property that I feel is worth the price. Until then, lots of interesting places to visit! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft oh Ok. Is it so much more expensive for you? We´re also staying at the Amankila for a bit more than the Como in Ubud.
thanks for making this kind of reviews. You´re doing an amazing job :)
Amankila is $1200++ per night during peak season. I paid $251.90 for Como 😅… just a bit more lol
@@tfft Ok that is a huge difference and I understand :) We pay €340 for Como Pool Villa and €460 for Garden Suite Amankila. Still in high season September.
Where did you snag the Amankila for 460 if you don’t mind me asking?
Anda sangat beruntung bisa menikmati liburan keliling dunia. Tuhan memberkati 🙏
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Can you please kindly add the season or the month you visited the resort. I like 👍 your reviews and I have few places that I will visit this summer all because of your experience and information you shared.
Love ❤️ it 💯
The month that I visit is in the envelope/bill graphic that comes after the intro. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft Awesome I will check it out again. Am watching the Pullman Phuket at the moment 👌🏼❤️🥵
I loved it there however our room had to be fumigated twice as lots ants in bathroom . This did not detract from this wonderful karma resort with magnificent food and breakfasts
Thanks for watching 🩴
Another great review. Thank you. Initially I was about to book 3 nights at the Como Shambhala but now I’m not sure whether to stay at this one after watching the video. Have you stayed at Shambhala and if so, which one would you choose?
If you're staying in just one place in Ubud, I'd probably stick with Shambhala becuase it is known to be their flagship on the island. I haven't personally stayed there though. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft thanks, can’t wait!
Beautiful video, would love to know the name of the massage therapist if you still remember. Thanks!
Her name was Ekma! Made sure to take note haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Enjoying your videos especially for properties in Bali. Curious if you're interested to visit Aman Resorts and Nihi Sumba.
I've yet to find an Aman property that actually looked to be worth the crazy prices they charge.
Excellent review. Btw Ubud is pronounced Ú-boot', not Ú-but.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
The correct pronunciation is “oobood” not “oobud”. Still a great video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Stayed at a Garden Pool Villa -- villa itself was amazing, but the experience was far from perfect. At check in, the lady who escorted us actually said she was tired because they're so busy -- an odd welcome. Then we got to the villa, she said we'll "stay with the koi"... but then there was no fish at the pond. She said the staff must have forgotten to put them back after cleaning. Worst was our experience at breakfast where the staff declined to give us the table we asked for because they were saving it for "big families". The place was 80% unoccupied, and he later sat a group of 3 Caucasians in the table we were asking for. Gorgeous place. Pity about the experience.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
What month was your visit here? Asking because I wish to avoid the “rainy months” (you mentioned you encountered ‘unseasonal’ rains).
I was there in June. Thanks for watching 🩴
How did you book this to get the breakfast and massage? Don’t see it on FHR, virtuoso, etc. TIA
As I mentioned in the video, it was an Expedia/hotels.com VIP booking- the benefits of which may have changed. Thanks for watching 🩴
I miss some quintessencial baliness art in the rooms because for me that is precisely what makes Bali so magical and special...
Thanks for watching 🩴
The price is not bad compared to the $1k hotel that was not worth more than $100.
Thanks for watching 🩴
How would you compare this to the Como Shambala Ubud?
Quite poorly I reckon since I've not been to the Shambala 😅
We loved it however the gym is very small and needs updating
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Are there any bugs bothering you? I wonder how they expel the mosquitoes.
Not sure how they do it (or if they do anything) but I didn’t notice a single mosquito. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Hi , how many nights do you stay in Como Uma Ubud ?
I think you’re asking how many nights you should stay there? I’d say 3 would provide for a nice experience. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
So far, is Como Uma Ubud Resort, the best resort in your opinion?
I think it depends on what style of resort you prefer. For a small, boutique resort in Ubud I cannot imagine anything being better (except perhaps the other Como properties haha). Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Where can I find a Detox program?
🤔
I can't find the pinned comment
There are no pinned comments in newer videos. All rate info is in the description.
Hey man, beautiful video, wished I could mute your commentary though
Do you… not have a mute button? 😂
the resort is good but there are far better than this particular one
I’ve not said it’s the best resort on earth- simply that they live up to the experience they sell in every single detail. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
too modern not Balinese
😂 Do you want the Island God’s themselves to build your hotel? This is one of the most “Balinese” hotels on the entire island.
