I almost don’t want to do this review because I don’t want this place to become popular! We had a lovely stay at Rumah Ganesha. It’s wonderfully old school Bali. Comfortable rooms, large grounds with beautiful gardens. A sense of elegance, great artwork. Walking distance to everything you need.

I was initially placed in a room that was generally a lesser quality than the photos and description led me to expect considering the price, however I was able to change to another room that was an appropriate quality and was very happy there.

Beautiful grounds, garden and buildings Quiet and peaceful atmosphere while being positioned centrally. Very warm, welcoming and hospitable staff.

We never found a pool, although there is one in the picture above. The signage is very hard to spot from the road.

Good value, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff

Whilst it didn’t negatively impact my stay, I could hear the traffic noise from my room, which was in the building at the front of the property. It would have been ideal if there was no traffic noise. I expect that the rooms towards the back of the property are quieter.

My room was clean, light and airy, the grounds are lovely, the staff were delightful and the property is conveniently located.

Lush gardens with many places to relax. Endless water bottle refills. Lovely to come home to a clean room every day. Artie and Jiwa were fantastic hosts. Many cafes out the front and lots of walking trails out the back. Close to Alchemy Yoga.

Despite the natural aspect, stepping out of this sanctuary takes you to the very busy, often traffic jammed Jl Penestaan. However, a 2 minute walk gives access to more than a dozen coffee shops and eateries.

The garden setting is filled with beautiful flowers, shrubs, and pathways. The 2 storey buildings contain 4 cosy yet roomy apartments. Loved the bathroom. There is plenty of space and a feeling of being on the edge of the jungle. The pool was set amongst enormous trees, and the constant sound of water flowing in the nearby stream was relaxing. The staff there were helpful and knowledgeable, having worked there for decades.

The style of the rooms, we had 3 rooms of a tall villa style dwelling with cathedral ceiling over the lounge area, with 3 huge indonesian day beds. All in lovely wooden style cool looking furniture. Set in lush tropical gardens. The sound of the river and jungle all around. So beautiful!

This part of Ubud has only one two direction road but it is one lane. No sidewalk for pedestrians. It is about a 20 minute walk to the Royal Palace which is the center of Ubud. We love to walk a lot when we are on vacation, but this was not pleasant walking. The property is wonderful and I highly recommend it. I prefer the unpleasant long walk to staying closer because central Ubud is a noisy, busy, stressful place. You have to leave IDR500,000 in cash as a security deposit at checkin. Glass, refillable water bottles are provided. I accidentally broke one and was charged IDR100,000. Felt a little off. If you provide glass bottles or glassware, they can break. That is the cost of doing business. Perhaps steel bottles would be better.

Gorgeous property. Gardens offering shade, privacy and beauty. Lovely pavilions with 4 rooms each. We are a family of 4: 2 in a room up the stairs 2 below. Central outdoor livingroom for all rooms and a seating area outside the downstairs rooms. Breakfast served in gazebo. Good sized refreshing pool set away from rooms. Jiwa is a great host. Very friendly, good English, helpful. He went to get us tickets to the Balinese dance show. There is a clean water dispenser provided where we can refill our bottles. There are glass bottles provided in the rooms. I accidentally broke one just before bedtime. Jiwa came right away to clean up the broken glass. Maybe steel bottles would be safer and would keep the water colder.

Very quiet setting and very close to Alchemy cafe & yoga centre.

If you’re looking for a place just steps away from Alchemy or the House of Om, this location is perfect. It truly feels like a hidden paradise—peaceful, comfortable, and well-equipped. The rooms are spacious, and I especially appreciated the mosquito nets on the windows, which made for a more comfortable stay. The staff is very friendly, and check-in was flexible, which added to the overall great experience. I can only recommend this place!

Raindrops at night making big sounds hitting something that sounded stronger than normal.

Nice clean property, well kept. Friendly staff.

No bar fridge for cold drinks. Motorbikes on the road can be a little noisy during the day, unless it rains, then peace 😃

The peaceful location with awesome gardens.

I loved all of it!

The property is in beautiful natural surroundings, it feels like a sanctuary. Very peaceful and well taken care of, and the buildings are lovely, rooms were very clean and comfortable. We loved all the staff, they were our friends by the end of our stay.

The only minor thing I noticed is the pool was a little old and not as clean as others I’ve used. Only 2 recliners available but there was no one using the pool when I was there anyway.

Beautiful property in lush, stunning gardens, back from the road but great access to local cafes and alchemy yoga studio. The staff are wonderful and make you feel right at home, the room is slightly smaller but that didn’t bother me as having the window seat and outdoor lounge was wonderful, great pressure shower, and the only place I have found window screens so I could sleep with fresh air in the room - I had the best sleeps. Private from other rooms which I appreciated, no sounds issues with other guests.

I've been living in the tropics so I'm used to having a ceiling fan in the room - there was aircon so it wasn't really even a problem at all.

Rumah Ganesha is a beautiful oasis away from the main strip of Ubud but still within easy walking distance. There are villas with a generous amount of garden compared to others we saw, and a swimming pool that is cool and shady. Jiwa and staff were super helpful and accommodating. Bug repellant and water were always available. There are really great restaurants right outside, so you don't need to go far! GBS for international style tea, coffee and pastries, Alchemy 11:11 for the best Bali coffee and great breakfasts, Bubu Warung for delish meals, and Prima Vegetarian for the best Nasi Campur ever! Great to explore the small streets nearby and get up to Yellow Flower Cafe to enjoy the view.

You really can't complain about this lush jungle property. The pool, your private breakfast nook, the location, the groundskeepers. Everything was absolutely lovely. Thank you again!

Mosquitoes, but you get that in a tropical environment, that is nothing to do with staff or location.

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They provided a great breakfast each morning.
