    No complaints!

    The staff were so so friendly and helpful to us throughout! Our room was clean, aircon worked very well and the bed was so comfortable. We also found the location perfect for getting to activities and sights during the days and evenings.

    Lots of mothballs spread around the floor in the room and bathroom, also since there is no wide window the smell can be really strong. Lack of floor towel for the bathroom and the shower is within all, so it can be really wet.

    Pleasant staff. Rooms away from the street, therefore more silent. Size of room is good and the bed is big and comfortable!

    No AC, but for me it was alright with a fan.

    The family is so kind and I felt very much at home. Hot water. It can be a little tricky to find in the beginning, but just walk into the property and someone will help you.

    Interesting budget stay in a temple complex but awkward communication, Hole in ceiling, mold
    • Leisure trip

    No kitchen or fridge. No drinking water on site. Large moldy whole in the ceiling which dripped water on our heads during the night when it was raining, but we moved the bed out of the way immediately. They came to look at it the next day, but the rain stopped so we’re not actually sure if they fixed it, beware! Communication is a little poor and awkward; the older women came banging on our door at 10pm when we were asleep to ask a question that could have waited until the morning. When trying to pay she said our room would be double the price, but she was really trying to say the a/c vs fan room different prices. She knocked again at 10am when we’re just waking up trying to shower and get ready for the day. She also made some rude comments asking if I speak English, when actually her English was barely intelligible. I wasn’t judging her but she sure was sassy to me! The younger women and younger man were kind though. Other than those two occasions, privacy wasn’t an issue, but she was a bit abrasive so I/we avoided her. Also, they don’t provide cleaning services often, nor is it very thorough. We had to ask them and they only cleaned our rooms one time during 10 days, when the standard in Bali is once every 3 days and they said they were too busy so they cleaned it the next day and gave us fresh towels once in 10 days. (ours and our friends room too). There is black mold on the ceiling but that’s common in Bali. They should paint over it for the guests health. It’s an okay budget stay other than these issues.

    Interesting homestay in a temple complex; a typical Balinese style home. Quiet area a 15 minute walk from main area. I preferred being this far from city center. If you get one of the a/c rooms the balcony there’s a nice view of the jungle. We actually stayed here 10 days, not 2, but the other 8 were reserved offline due to upgrading our room. Room needs to be fixed though. Big hole in the ceiling that dripped water on us. Protect your belongings. Bed is super comfy in the a/c rooms! It was cool renting out both a/c rooms with our friend because we got to be neighbors and have a private balcony. No dance clubs near by so we got great sleep and enjoyed the jungle sounds. You will need to walk a bit to the street with yummy cafes, but there’s a new family owned Indian place right down the road with cheap yummy food and a simple menu. Overall, it’s an okay budget stay but not without its issues!

    1) WiFi doesn't work inside the room. 2) I felt the owner was sarcastic. To be honest, I didn't enjoy small talk with her. 3) They don't do a laundry for house guests although they wash a lot of clothes and hang them in the porch everyday. It's not a big problem for us because there's some laundry shops nearby, but I'm not sure why they are unhappy to do so.

    Clean room. Quiet neighborhood.

    Alley to go to entrance was extremely tiny,narrow, and host turn off light very early when we arrived at Ubud late due to car's breaking down on road. It was 9pm, and they did not answer when I yell out. Strange homestay. I had to find another lodging stay overnight nearby. Of course never Ubud again.

    The room that they give me smells like moho, when i checked where the smell came from i realized that the walls near the toilet have moho growing up… The toilet wasn’t properly clean. When i went to bed to sleep (i was really tired bc i had a long day), i realized that near the pillow was full of mosquitoes wings… i just lifted the pillow to blow the mosquitoes wings away but i realized that there where several tiny mosquitos eggs (or some bug). I decided to leave the place, wearing a pijama because all of these was to much and i just wanted a clean place to sleep and rest. I asked to the owner to return my money back and she denied, i ask her please to consider to give me my money but she refused. I almost didn’t used the room because i spent almost all the afternoon outside the place… Was a bad experience to booked in here

    Nice location. The owners are friendly people.
