Reviews of Japa House

Great location

No bar fridge for the Bintangs

Room is clean, owner is very nice, the wife is very helpful, no complicated rules at all. They cleaned every 2 days.

Perhaps its the weather but the sheet, pillow and bed sometimes feel damp, but still comfortable to stay in

The cafe at the end of the lane makes delicious food. And the balcony outside the room makes a great place to watch the world go by. Friendly staff. Great location.

A bit noisy.

Very good location, right in the center. You save money to go to the center. The price/performance cannot be beaten. There are some steep stairs and you may hear motorbike and I think bird or bat noises at night but if your goal is to use the hotel only to sleep then this is the best choice. The host is very friendly and he offers some great tours. I would definitely suggest!

Amazing location, central but quiet. Nice view of Ubud and comfy bed.

Could have a TV in the room but not a necessity

Clean

Nothing

The staff are lovely and helpful.

Stayed here 6 years ago, and still love it. Only 2 units right on the top level, giving a lovely view of sunset. Hard to get a view like this around Sriwedari. Though the accommodation is basic, room has a great bathroom with a large unsealed space for window (wall to wall) where natural sunlight filters in and there is no damp and musty smell. No tea or coffee facilities or breakfast, but the hosts are happy to make breakfast at an extra cost. Will always consider coming back to this homestay as I feel a special draw to it. Not recommended for the elderly as the stairs to the top floor are narrow, little bit steep and winding (partially).

At the moment, there’s on-going construction work on the opposite side. Can get a little dusty and noisy

The location is excellent. Beds are big and comfortable. It’s quite clean. Staff (people living there) are very friendly and pleasant.

Stairs to the rooms are very narrow and steep, you have to be very careful.

Location is great - right in the middle of central Ubud, close to Art Market, temple, main street. Lovely and curtous staff. The shower did actually have hot water and was kinda open air (half of the wall open) which was very nice for fresh air. Good WiFi.

It's a small room and no normal wardrobe or anywhere to hang clothes (there was a cupboard in the bathroom but I wouldn't put my clothes in there). While the place is a little tucked away from the main street, it's still noisy and you can hear traffic and other noises. The way into the room upstairs is really narrow and pretty steep so larger people or people with luggage would struggle.

The location is very strategis in the middle of central ubud. So u can walking around come to shops nearby

The accses to the room

The room has a beautiful view of Ubud and sunsets. Breakfast was very good, vegetarian options available. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is partially outdoors. AC worked great.

I loved everything about the property, but I wouldn’t stay here if you have trouble getting up stairs. There are very steep stairs to get to the rooms.

Bed is so comfortable and the owner is very nice!! Help me a lot, breakfast is also good!

Location is perfect, nice balcony, lovely hosts

It was clean and in a good location. Great for the price you pay. Nice breakfast too which is a sweetener. We only had it the one day out of our three night stay as we are just not brekkie people and didn’t want to waste food. Bed was comfy, not a rock like most places. Hot water in bathroom. Surprisingly no insects as the bathroom is open, it was great. The family were lovely and even sorted our laundry for us! Thank you for a lovely stay!

The only complaint are ones that are out of the properties control however less mobile people and those that struggle with street noise when sleeping. The stairs are narrow but again this is not a control over the owners but if you’re a large person or not too mobile you may find them a little difficult. You can hear the street noise a lot. We can sleep through most noises so either bring earplugs or look for somewhere a bit further out of town.

The staff were really lovely and helpful throughout the whole stay. We ended up getting really ill and couldn’t leave the room for our entire stay. They kept checking how we were feeling and let us extend a night as we weren’t well enough to travel. The breakfast was good. The bed was really comfy. Location was really good.

Unfortunately we found quite a lot of bugs and ants during our stay so we had to ask them to clean the room or spray the room to get rid of them. This was the only down side.

This is a comfortable room (with good AC and surprisingly good WiFi, too) on the top floor of a family compound, with only one other guest room, so it’s wonderful for travelers who’d like some peace and quiet. The moment you step outside your door, the view from the balcony will make you smile, and the sounds of prayer from the temple across the street or of ceremonial dances at the end of the block will often drift up to the room in the evenings, reminding you of what a special place you’ve found. The hosting family just radiates kindness (and makes great pancakes), and if you’re a morning riser, this is a perfect place to get up early, go for a walk in the rice fields while the city is still waking up, maybe grab a coffee at one of the cafes that opens early, like Jolted or Sunny Coffee, and then come back home for breakfast.

Very welcoming owners. Breakfast was always on time and was huge help for us in finding rental motorcycles at good price and also helped us with recommendations on places to visit as well

Nothing as of sort
