Reviews of Rizky Guesthouse

The atmosphere

No soap

Couch on the porch was great. Pool was excellent. Ketut was quite helpful.

Booked a room according to the pictures had windows but my room had no windows. The one with windows they rent long term to an osteopathic business and even though Ketut informed the owner of my complaint of no windows he didn't seem to care. Already had my money. They are also building more rooms so construction noise made it impossible to sit outside on the couch.

Pro, was right on one of the walkways around the area- however my room was directly above said walkway of which motor scooters and pedestrians made good use of well into the night. The room had a huge covered porch facing west to catch the sunset over the rice paddies. There was a huge bathroom and an air conditioner

The pool looked to be un-swimable, a very green colour that you couldn’t see the bottom of.

Friendly staff. I loved the pool.

Building work outside my room. Sooo noisy. All day. Grr.

Nice staff, very good English, beautiful location

Was a little noisy in the evening due to noisy event happening nearby

I absolutely enjoyed my stay at Rizky Guesthouse, the owner replied quickly, updated me to an even better room since I was staying for 3 weeks. When it rained I could borrow his umbrella. He picks you up from the main street with a scooter and brings your luggage there too. The room was clean, the beds are made every morning, they clean the room often and change the bedsheets. You can always ask for an extra towel and he immediately arranges it. The bed was nice and firm, I slept really well there.. I didn't hear any noises from the street. It's nicely hidden in the ricefields, and at walking distance from the busy Ubud Centre. Next door there's an amazing massage place for deep tissue massages (Serenity, ask for Dian) and a really cozy cafe with really good coconut cappuchino's, wifi and a view (Pokako)!

The bathroom showerhead was a bit chalky and old, and one light and plug didn't work, but the shower was nice and hot and I think it was still really good value for money.

great location, lovely pool, host was so accomodating

rooms were s little old, but still great

The property itself is quite nice, chill, green and well located.

Despite being a nice place it needs lots of maintenance…the pool needs to be cleaned (deep clean), wash the chair cushions, replace some other cushions outdoor and overall care. Bathroom is old, needs renovating and the walls need a new layer of paint. Everything is old. Nevertheless the place is nice and chill and I like it.

Ketut the owner was very friendly and helpful, easy to contact and always up for a chat if you meet him on the property. It's a beautiful little complex of houses on a street only accessible by foot or scooter (good to know if you arrive by taxi and the car can't go all the way up the hill). Towels and hand soap were supplied and Ketut made the bed everyday. The Aircon worked without a fuss, the bathroom was spacious and the hot water took a little to come in but the water pressure was nice and strong. The biggest feature of the property is the location. It's serene and tranquil, with the sound of the water fountain feeding the pool reverberating though the courtyard. There's outside seating and shade and most importantly a water refill station with filtered water. This is actually my favorite part of the property and worth explicitly mentioning. I never had to worry about buying water or where the plastic bottles might end up. I didn't use the pool so can't speak to it's quality but it looks fine, like any other pool that receives rainwater and only a tiny bit cloudy. Down the little road are rice fields, next door is a cafe I highly recommend for any meal of the day and a spa where I had the best massage of my life. The location is perfect, you can walk into the city centre and experience the hustle and bustle and then return to the peaceful quiet of the rice fields. Would absolutely stay here again.

I personally don't have a problem with this but be advised that the property is up a very steep hill and cars cannot go on the road because it is too small. If you arrive with lots of luggage or have a problem with walking this might be an issue. The road is also quite narrow and you have to watch out a bit for the oncoming scooters, but that's a very normal thing to expect in SE Asia.

Ketut is a really lovely host. Friendly and helpful. Leant us a kettle for morning coffees. Our rooms were a good size as were shower rooms. Outside space for the rooms were great. Gardens are well looked after. Really good value for money. Located down a path (scooter access but not cars) the path is beautiful. Lots of cafes and art shops nearby. Close enough to walk to town.

The pool is a lovely space but needs a clean more often.

The property was extremely good value for my 3 week stay for yoga teacher training. The bed was very comfortable. It was made every day by the host Ketut. A towel was provided. When I wanted a new one, I would just ask, and he would swap it out. I stayed here at the same time as the Korean girl who has just left a 3/10 review. I actually witnessed her be extremely rude to Ketut. She was very entitled and wanted him to deep clean every day and change her bedding and towels. She complained about ants and cockroaches - I did not see these in the room. When in a tropical climate, this is to be expected though. Ketut was always very polite - he asked how my day was and offered to take me to places if I needed. He works very hard at the property working long hours. The room is basic, but it has warm water, fridge and kettle with spacious shower area. There isn’t a window which was the only downside for me as I would have to sit outside on the balcony in the heat or be inside. Literally the only reason I give it 9/10. Toiletries are not provided, but I would not expect them to be when paying so little! My flight landed late at night. My driver had to wait 2 hours for me to get through the busy airport. I arrived at the car entrance at 2am and he came down in the rain on his scooter to collect me and my bags. They were not drunk as the Korean girl implied, as she was in the car in front of me at the time. I think it’s important to be mindful about damaging someone’s business. Thank you Ketut for being a very good host.
