The bathroom with no separation between the shower and toilet meaning water gets everywhere. Also the bathroom lighting was quite dull making it hard to see. Very small and paper thin walls meaning I heard everything going on in the room next to mine and I mean everything!!! Guests were very noisy too coming up and down the stairs at night. Additionally, I had zero wifi for the entire stay.

A very clean Homestay with a traditional feel and vibe to it. Great location too.

The main issues for me was the construction noise next door & porches were all very close together and no privacy when sitting outside- my neighbour was on the phone right outside my door after 11pm & didn’t seem to think this was an issue- if you have one inconsiderate person they disturb many rooms as it’s very compact. The pool area is also the same, compact, you feel that everything is squeezed in as opposed to other places that have gardens and are spread out. It’s a step above a hostel but I’d pay a few dollars more for more space. This was shown on the photos but was more cramped than expected.

Rooms and bed were clean and comfortable, ac worked well, location was ideal with access to the central area, staff were good.

Super friendly and helpful staff! The guesthouse is right in the center of Ubud, close to restaurants, cafes, etc. WiFi works well and the place is super clean. The swimming pool is a big plus!

Buana Ubud Inn was a great place to stay during our time in Ubud. The location is incredibly convenient—right in the center of town and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and many sightseeing spots. The staff were always kind, helpful, and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. While our room was on the smaller side for two people with large luggage and backpacks, we were out exploring most of the time and didn’t need anything fancy. The room was clean, the shower had consistent hot water, and the property features a beautiful, well-maintained shared pool that was perfect for relaxing after a day out. Just a heads-up: there’s no elevator and the stairs are a bit narrow, but this wasn’t an issue for us. Overall, it suited our needs perfectly and was great value for the location.

The staff were friendly and available as needed, but I did feel like they were nervous or reserved to interact with me whilst I was there. My check-in was incredibly fast, almost with no words shared. It was also a little hard to get information about what was available around the property, meaning I did a bit of wandering away from the homestay and had more informative conversations through street vendors about what to do in Ubud.

Buana Ubud Homestay is tucked away from the street-front, so much so that it feels quite private and removed from the throb of the main streets. Signage at the front is minimal, so keep your eyes peeled for it! The staff were efficient, and ensured facilities were kept as operational as possible throughout my stay. The pool is a treat for the senses if you're staying in the heat. My room was on the first floor, accessed through narrow stairs. Facilities were basic but robust, including a solid shower and a comfortable bed. Each morning a thermos of hot water was delivered outside the room for use with instant coffee (some provided), and the balcony chairs provided a beautiful vantage over the grounds. The room I stayed in was perfect for a solo traveler but I imagine it may have been a squeeze for more than one person.

Nothing bad to mention about the room, but I think it's not the best option in Ubud you can have.

The location of the hotel is perfect. The hotel staff doesn't speak English but they always do their best to help you. There are 2 kittens at the hotel, they are absolutely adorable.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was hot water for a nice shower and it was very close to the centre of Ubud. Rooms were a bit small but comfortable nonetheless.

Fridges in rooms would be a bonus. Couldn't use the pool for 2 days dilute to some work being done. My balcony was very small, I had to walk sideways past another couple sat outside. Free breakfast would be a bonus.

The pool area was lovely. Room was ok, not very big. It was closed to the town, which was great. Good value for a couple of nights. Staff friendly & helpful

Nothing much, but the rooms were not soundproof. If the window is opened, guests walking in the balcony can see inside, so there is no daylight coming in the rooms. It is not a big issue though.

Close to the center, yet in a quiet and peaceful location. Comfortable rooms, good breakfast, and a nice little swimming pool. Hot water available. Hosts are always smiling and very helpful.

Aircondition was a bit loud.

For us the location was perfect. There are many restaurants within walking distance and yet there was a quiet and a relaxed vibe in the hostel. The staff were incredibly nice and they made us breakfast every morning, where we could select our food from a small menu. All in all, very good value for money and we would definitely recommend a stay here.

The beds need a topper to make them a wee bit softer! The standard bread with breakfast is like cardboard! Otherwise great

The bathroom should have a better clean. Breakfast was ok, very similar options.

Perfect place to stay for a couple of nights in ubud, central location and very friendly staff. The rooms was good for the price, a bit dark but quiet and clean.

The doors have a little gap so some noise comes through if someone is walking in the corridor.

The staff was so lovely and helpful. The rooms were clean, have a powerful air-conditioner and beds are comfy - we slept very well. The value for money is incredible.

I would not bother with the breakfast and just got for walk to one of many. Breakfast was disappointing. No fridge in your room, there is a shared one, but would prefer my own. No tv in my room (not really a big issue but some may like a tv when lying in bed).

The location is great and it's very quiet considering how close you are. (except for the rooster) the pool is lovely as well. The staff were friendly and lovely. Overall a great little place that was quiet.
