Back door didn't lock, safety issue. Pictures showed AC, room had no ac. No top bedsheet, just the blanked all other guests used.

People are nice, homestay is run by a family and what you'd expect in bali.

There was no air conditioning, and the fan was kinda broken. Bed was ok but Floors needed to be swept. Otherwise it was ok. Fair for the price.

Great location. Friendly people . Beautiful Place. Excellent breakfast.

Not completely clean in the room, could need some maintenance. We booked a room with double bed but they told us they only had one room left with 2 single beds.. a bit disappointing when you expected a big double bed as advertised.

Good location, nice staff, good pool, good view from room.

Nice area, it is typical local home with very beautiful architecture, I like balcony view to tropical forest, was amazing and tasty traditional breakfast, I like it all. Thank you!

The room needed a deep clean, it was dusty. It is a little far from Ubud center, you can't walk there, the roads are really narrow.

The accomodation is basically part of a family's home, so you can get to know the traditional balinese everyday life:) The terrace looks to the jungle, the breakfast is delicious, the room is big.

Super nice owner and family, very helpful and can drive you as a guide for good price. The room we stayed had nice view to jungle where you see lots of butterflyes and next to us, you can take some cooking lessons.

We had an issue with smells out of the bathroom and they changed our room as soon as we tell them.

Great host, very good breakfast and a nice family environment. It's a welcoming family guest house. You can rent a bike there, in reasonable conditions at a reasonable price.

Water pressure in the shower is nonexistent, wifi connection was very unstable.

Low price, quiet and removed from the chaos of the centre.

Stayed in August 2023

Toilet roll was not provided. There shd be a feet towel outside the bathroom to avoid wetting the room's floor. Maintenance on room's door needed.

The ambience of the place. Its very calm n peaceful -except noises of construction work being done during the early nights. Other than taht, the place is a nice homestay option. Mattress is comfortable to sleep on.

Although it was clean, the room smelled of mould, which wasn't pleasant. Apart from the usual captive birds, there was a large porcupine kept in a small cage, although the family did agree to release it for a price.

Pondok Bali is a good-value homestay owned by a lovely family. The room was large and light, and the bed was comfortable. The view from my terrace over the jungle was beautiful. I also highly recommend the onsite cooking class by Dewi. The homestay is about 15 mins motorbike ride from the centre of Ubud, which I personally liked. Komang can arrange a motorbike hire if needed. There are several nice warungs nearby overlooking the rice paddies and a small warung at the homestay offering cheap indonesian dishes.

The rooms were pretty bad. The first one I stayed in smelt very very strongly like sewage. I switched 3 nights in. The second didn't smell as bad but had no sink, no table to put my things, and holes in the walls where mosquitoes would come in at night. There's no places to hang out during the day as well, just your room and the dining room table. Again, it's very simple-if this is your budget, then it's fine, liveable. If you have higher standards and can afford a little bit more, I'd go somewhere else.

The family is very, very sweet. The host arranges whatever you need and was very responsive. For 6$ a night, including a simple breakfast, I don't feel much like complaining. I know my money is going to a good family and the property itself was lovely. Outside of Ubud so it's quiet, but a little bothersome to travel from everyday. You definitely need a scooter.

Really nice, cosy homestay. It's in a traditional Balinese family home. The family is really nice and can give you a lot of tips for around. The location is a littlebit out the centre of Ubud. But there are some really nice warungs around to eat in the middle of the rice fields. The room can be improved with small maintenance, but doesn't effect the comfortness that you get for the price that you pay. Breakfast really good!

- bathroom facilities could be a more maintained/cleaned - one night we had a big gecko in the room and my friend didn’t like it so I asked the owner to remove it and he came and smashed it with a broom which did the job but this wasn’t my intention at all and left me sad

big room and nice furniture, comfortable bed, view right into the jungle, friendly staff (family) and good breakfast, little shop right on the entrance, interesting Balinese style house

the light was broken in the bathroom and one of the pillow cases was white but had black marks on it

Nothing, everything amazing, rooms were a little damp but it’s raining season so nothing on the owners behalf

Very friendly welcoming people, lovely coffee, nice comfy simple rooms, low cost, beautiful quiet area 5 mins from Ubud centre.. for the price I paid I would only ever stay here in ubud

Thank you so much! It is a traditional multi-generational Balinese house with beautiful decor and a lovely patio. The rooms are very nice, clean, and spacious, providing plenty of privacy. It’s in a very convenient location, just a few minutes from beautiful rice terraces, etc. I spent the morning talking to one of the family members and learned so much about their life. I would 100% come back! Highly recommended!

The place is no longer as shown in the photos. It’s a little abandoned. It smells bad and our room smelled bad. We decided not to have breakfast at the place because the kitchen looked dirty and smelled like urine. The staff is very friendly but they should change some things

The very friendly and attentive staff

I also adjust myself to local conditions as well and do not expect to find whatever i had in the west exactly the same .... after this is a major reason of traveling isn't it.

Excellent view, you can even her the waterfalls, papaya and banana trees around all the forest and river valley at your feet because the property sits on the top of the river valley. Warm friendly people and an ancient heritage is there all as a home-stay.
