In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Friendly, attentive staff — Guests consistently describe the staff as incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with advice or a smile.
  • Breakfast served on your terrace — Start the day with fried rice or fried noodles, brought to your own terrace or balcony – often with a pool or garden view.
  • Quiet, peaceful setting — Tucked away in a secret garden behind a family compound, away from the road and the busy center.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Neighborhood quietness comes with distance — You're outside the main tourist strip. While the Monkey Forest is a short walk, the central Ubud market is farther – plan for a 10-minute ride.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 19:00, so if you arrive late, you'll need to arrange an alternative.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this property isn't an option.

“Stayed a few days while exploring Bali. Staff were incredibly friendly and always shared helpful tips. The location felt peaceful but was still within walking distance of the center and the Monkey Forest. Breakfast on the terrace by the pool was delicious, and the bed was comfortable.”

“Rooms in a family compound, divine pool, delicious breakfasts, and a professional spa therapist for in-room treatments. The family also offers interesting activities. Great breakfast on the balcony with a good selection, exterior bathroom, and poolside loungers. Safe and quiet area, good for families, walkable to restaurants and Monkey Forest. Prime location near several eateries, clean and beautifully designed rooms for privacy. A true oasis of peace with kind staff. Nice room, cleaned daily, with hot water and free toiletries.”
