Pool at Metland Venya Ubud
The infinity pool is a standout feature with exceptional views overlooking the jungle and riverbed, earning consistent praise from international guests. Two Turkish reviewers reported poor condition on a single date, but this appears isolated amid overwhelmingly positive sentiment across 30+ claims.
Reviews are concentrated in recent months (late April through August 2026), with no temporal degradation pattern. The two negative pool condition reports (July 2–7, 2026) appear as isolated incidents; all other July–August 2026 reviews remain uniformly positive. Earlier reviews (February–May 2026) also maintain positive sentiment, suggesting no long-term trend of decline or improvement.
What the reviews tell us
Infinity pool with dramatic jungle views is a signature feature, described as 'stunning,' 'spectacular,' and 'draw dropping' with cantilevering design overlooking virgin forests and riverbed
Pool is consistently rated as large, clean, and equipped with excellent photo opportunities, appealing to both leisure and Instagram-focused guests
Funicular access to the pool is available, enhancing convenience and accessibility from the main hotel area
Two Turkish reviewers in early July 2026 reported poor pool condition and inability to enjoy swimming, though no other guests from that period reported similar issues
Limited detail provided on water temperature, safety features, formal hours of operation, or maintenance protocols
Metland Venya Ubud's pool experience is characterized as exceptional by the vast majority of reviewers across diverse nationalities. The infinity pool is the dominant design feature, consistently praised for its panoramic views of the surrounding jungle valley and lush greenery. Multiple reviewers highlighted the unique aesthetic of a pool cantilevering on the edge of the jungle with a riverbed flowing beneath it, creating a rare integration of architecture and nature. The pool is described as large, clean, and offering abundant photo opportunities. Practical amenities include a funicular for access, and the area is positioned as an ideal daytime destination within the resort. Two Turkish reviewers from early July 2026 reported difficulty using the pool due to unspecified condition issues, though one acknowledged trees across from the pool may be a contributing factor. This represents a notable contradiction in an otherwise uniformly positive dataset, though the claims lack detail about the specific nature of the condition problem, and no other reviewers from that period corroborate the issue. Amenities coverage is vague in most reviews, with limited detail on water temperature, specific safety features, or formal access hours.
Pool condition reports contradict overwhelmingly positive theme
Two Turkish reviewers (claims 377286, 377295, 377290) from July 2–7, 2026 reported that they were unable to use or enjoy the pool due to poor condition, with one stating they only visited for a photo and immediately left. One reviewer speculated this might be related to nearby trees. In stark contrast, all other reviewers—including those from the same time period (July 19–28, 2026) and surrounding months—describe the pool as exceptional, beautiful, and clean. No other guest reported condition issues, maintenance problems, or similar difficulties. The lack of detail in the Turkish reports and the absence of corroboration from other contemporary reviewers suggests either a temporary, localized issue (debris from storm or maintenance, quickly resolved) or a subjective perception unique to these guests. This single contradiction does not undermine the overall positive finding but warrants attention to pool maintenance protocols.
