Nothing, everything was good, love to go back again.

The room was big, comfortable and overlooked the swimming pool. Quiet and safe space for solo traveller in the heart of Ubud. Breakfast was delicious every day. Accommodation is close to nearby cafes/restaurants and mini mart. Staff were friendly. The place is so beautiful and private and the gardens are lovely. Ten minute walk to Ubud Palace and shopping markets.

So welcoming, we asked to change rooms to overlook the pool at the back of the property and it wasn’t a problem! Fantastic location, rooms clean with everything you need. Breakfast on your balcony was delicious Their Warung upstairs was amazing, great food and cocktails!

The only thing we didn’t really like—but it wasn’t a big problem—was seeing a few ants and small lizards on the balcony and sometimes in the room. With the beautiful garden and tropical setting in Ubud, it’s understandable, but for someone who’s afraid of insects or small creatures, it might be a bit uncomfortable.

The best location—walking distance to everywhere in Ubud Center! This is a family-run homestay, and the whole family and staff were super friendly and polite. Our room was cleaned daily, and the breakfast was really good—served right on our balcony at the time we chose every morning. We were so happy we picked this place for our 6-night stay in Ubud. Breakfast usually starts at 7:30, but on the day we checked out early to go to Padang Bai at 6:30, they kindly prepared our breakfast especially for us at 6:00 and had it ready on our table. We really appreciated this kind and thoughtful gesture!

- Amazing stuff - very friendly and helpful. - Great location - close to everything but at the same time the garden with pool was so peaceful and quiet - Great value for a price - Breakfast is always served on time. Every day you can choose what you want to eat - Every day they clean the room and bring you water

Breakfast was good, the room was quite big and cozy. There were many trees and plants in front of each room, providing a sense of privacy. But the faucet in the bathroom was broken and fell off all the time. Left a note for room service to ask if they could fix it but I guess they didn't see the message.

Everything was perfect.

Friendly employees- felt like family. Great breakfast. Awesome pool; everything was very clean. Daily cleaning of the rooms. Loved my stay!

Satisfied with everything. The ambient, the people, location and also the food. It would be better if more lighting in the washroom. Quite dark at night. If you stay here, must pay a visit to the Jiwa’s Warung which is next to the homestay. The food was just so good. They also offer lunch and dinner with charges during Nyepi Day so no need to worry about food supply. A cute doggy came to visit us on the day :D The location is just 8mins walking distance away from Ubud Palace. We were so blessed to come across this homestay. Will definitely to come back someday. Thanks Jiwa, his family and the staffs as well!

I booked the standard room first which had some fungus. That’s normal in Bali or hot/humid places. I upgraded my room to a newer one, paid extra but no fungus.

Property is right in the city Center and close to everything. Inside lots of trees, plants and a relaxing atmosphere

Budget accomodation in the heart of Ubud - but on a quiet side street - within a beautiful Balinese family home layout of several buildings. We had yummy banana pancakes for breakfast delivered to our outdoor area of the room at a time we chose. A home away from home. Staff fabulous.

I felt like I was in my own little oasis in the middle of the jungle. Yet the main area of Ubud is just a couple blocks away. They had a driver (a family member) waiting for me at the airport and he would check in regularly during my stay to see if I needed anything. Friendly people. If you need a massage turn left when you leave the homestay and walk up the hill not too far. Pondok Gusti’s Salon and Spa. It was my best massage in Ubud. I got my laundry washed and ironed just left of the hotel. A little place with motorbikes in front. I didn’t have the right charger for my phone to plug into the outlet. I saw the sell them in the little convenience store across the street.

Wifi not too good in the room at all made it hard to phone home

Beautiful place to stay for a couple nights, pool was stunning and breakfast was enjoyable

The phone provided didn’t work and my messages weren’t responded to before arrival. The toilet was basic needs more toiletries and bath mat.

Beautiful guesthouse, the people were friendly and the place is a few minutes walk from the main street. The room was spacious and the breakfast had different options that suits all tastes. Great to have laundry service for affordable price.

The little garden was so beautiful, bedroom was very big and the location was great, just 2 minutes walking from the main high street and 8min for the palace. Breakfast was really nice and they are very flexible with your schedule.

The only downside was all of the ants in my room😂 But I think that comes with every “outdoor” room in Bali:)

The staff was great and the room was really pretty! The breakfast as well was soooooo good!

Stayed in February 2025

We were delighted that although the accommodation is right in the center of Ubud, it is completely quiet as it is on a small side street. But the best is the staff, from Mr. Jiwa and the great Yande driver. Everything was clean, we had new towels and white bed linen. Our pool room surrounded by the scent of the garden and incense sticks was amazing. Those who need a shiny new sink for vacation will write worse reviews. But we don't, we'd love to go back anytime.

The light in the room and especially in the bathroom.

Very good location

not at all a big deal to me, but housekeeping is spotty. you are always asked if you want your rooms cleaned and it’s done by a couple of hard working and really sweet young men from the family. let’s just say i think “boys” probably have a different approach to cleaning. 😅😁🙏 but if you ask for something to be done, they are quick to oblige. truly a most delightful family and i felt privileged to be there. 🙏 thank you jiwa and family! ❤️

jiwa’s house is a beautiful little home stay on a lane close to the centre of ubud. it’s a perfect little paradise away the hustle and bustle of the city. the breakfast served to your patio is delicious. the staff and family who run this little oasis are the loveliest of people. the room is large, the bed, huge and feels like its own little sanctuary. the grounds are very pretty with many plants and flowers. i stayed in a poolside room and loved it. there are a number of categories of rooms here many that are away from the lane and in their own little garden space. watching family members make their morning offerings around the property felt like a real honour. the pool was a refreshing welcome after a day of walking around the city. i really can’t say enough about how much i enjoyed my stay!
