We liked everything

Perfect location center of ubud. Calm inside, comfortable bed and facilities really good too. We could sleep very well in the center of ubud which is nice.

The wi-fi inside our room (room #2) wasn't too good. As I needed the internet to work, it was a bit annoying, but I found out that sitting in the veranda, the internet works pretty well. It's not a major issue as it's manageable, but it's quite annoying having to move there whenever you need a more reliable connection.

The staff is amazingly friendly and helped us with anything we needed. Despite the language being different, communication wasn't a problem. Also, the location is ridiculously good and we could go to the main streets and find a lot of options of restaurants, mini markets and everything else. It's walking distance from the Monkey Forest, Ubud Palace, Ubud Market, Water Palace, and Sweet Orange Walk Trail. The bathroom is quite old, but was being cleaned every day, so it didn't bother me.

Great atmosphere, close proximity to Ubud Art Market and Secret Monkey Forest, good value for money, nearby money exchange services, cafes nearby, and outstanding service.

The traditional home setting is beautiful and peaceful though near the Main Street and with some noise. The host ladies are gracious and kind. The room is very basic but the aircon and hot water works well. For this price it is a great value.

Ventilation of the room could be improved, couldn't really open the windows without risking mosquitos as there were no nets.

Location was great if you are looking to be in the center of Ubud. Staff was very friendly. It had everything I needed but very basic.

Booked last minute for 1 night. Had a very peaceful sleep and it had charm and good energy there. For the price, it's all you need.

The amenity is quite simple and limited but can be bought around the inn easily. The only concern is, if you have allergy or sensitivity with the house dust or something, better be a bit cautious. Depends on the room it seems to effect, my friend says. I myself was o.k. with both 2 rooms where I stayed.

Very traditional Balinese style inn. Everyone there were amasingly polight, kind and helpful. The location is also great, close to many of the tourists' facilties e.g. shops, restaurants, spas and etc.

Shiva House is amazing. The grounds are unbelievable..you get a real traditional homestay. The rooms are basic but clean. I had air con but no fridge. However I was able to use the share kitchen fridge. The location is brilliant. You walk through the front door and are amongst it all, shops and cafes in abundance.

Bathroom can be a lit bit modern, the lights where not working all the time, could put Moskito net in front of the air vent on the Seeling and sitcom could be a lit bit more powerful :)

The host family are super friendly! We got helped by every question or problems! For a small amount they also washed our laundry. The room was cleaned in the Momente the we left! As the sitcom was not cooling down the ready room enough they shared there own fan with us!

I was in a balcony room and their was stuff scurrying around in the ceiling which was slightly off putting and the door to the roof was slightly ajar so worried something was going to come in my room. I would fix this because then it was perfect and have 0 things I didn't like.

The accomodation was so beautiful, the traditional balinese temple architecture was stunning. The staff were so friendly and did my laundry for a good price, which smelled amazing and came back to me all folded lovely and packaged up. Was amazing location in the centre of town but not on a loud street. Lots of nice lighting in the room.

Rooster waked me up every morning at 5am and the beds weren't that comfortable. Very firm, and the blankets were too tiny

Beautiful experience, staff was almost psychic giving us what we wanted before we even asked.

A quite place in the very busy ubud. In the center of Ubud this is a little angle of paradise. Super nice room! Recommended!

Room 8 bathroom smelt badly.

Charming building very central. Loved the veranda and view.

It was more or less as expected, but the toilet is in dire need of an upgrade. Also the fact that there are carvings in the wall (a design feature but creatures can get in) is not ideal. This could be easily solved by covering it up and instead adding an extractor fan for the ventilation in the toilet.

Location was good
