Reviews of The sowan ubud 3 stars

Staff were very helpful and attentive.

Kitchen was dirty. One of our rooms had a strong mould smell. Parasols covered in mould and did not feel happy to use the pool.

Nice and clean outdoor area, which ended up overshadowing even some major downsides. The breakfast was tasty – the pancakes were excellent. A plus was the option to rent a scooter for 100k (we got a better deal – 90k because we rented it for 5 days). The staff were friendly. Wi-Fi was great. The location is close to the center and not in huge ttaffic jams.

However, we were welcomed by a terrible smell of mold and dampness. The bed was so soaked with it that my pajamas smelled, and I kept waking up at night because of the odor and damp feeling. After three days, we managed to air it out a bit – we asked others and it seemed to be a problem especially in the ground floor rooms near the kitchen. The shared kitchen was in bad shape – at least by normal European standards, that’s how I’d describe it. Considering there were three staff members preparing breakfast each morning, the kitchen looked very neglected. Cleaning consisted of sweeping the floor and making the bed. The bathroom looked the same the entire week – meaning it wasn’t cleaned.

Good location, nice people.

The place looks and feels a bit tired. The room we got was much more simple than in the pictures.

The staff are very polite and helpful.. The place is nice and clean and the food is good.

No toiletries were provided.

The hotel is very clean, all the staff are extremely friendly and always willing to help and provide you with a pleasant and reliable stay. It looks exactly like the photos — I’m very satisfied.

I was supposed to stay for 5 days and ended up extending to 15. I loved the rooms, the quietness, the people managing the two villas, and the surroundings. The bathroom in one of the villas could use some renovation, but the water pressure was actually better than in the posher one — so I enjoyed both experiences. It’s close to some excellent restaurants. Totally worth it. Thank you, Sowan, for a wonderful experience in Ubud. 🙏🏻

We had a great stay at Sowan Ubud! The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Wayan (the owner) was very helpful - on our first day, he ordered us a delicious local lunch, and we were also able to rent a motorbike directly through him. The pool area is lovely and quiet, perfect for relaxing. It’s a family-run place, and you can really feel the warm personal touch throughout.

The only downside is the location as it’s quiet and peaceful, but you’ll need a motorbike or car to get around.

Super quiet and the pool is really good.

The bathroom was old, is not the same that in the photos. But was clean.

The beds were comfy and the air con was decent and the staff were very friendly!

The room was quite dated and dirty and did not look like the photos online and could have been cleaned. Cobwebs in the corners of the room the curtains had mould and the bathroom was unclean.

The place was very nice The pool was clean And the family that runs the place were very nice and helpful

The location, hotel territory

I firstly got a room upstairs somewhere in the back, where the WiFi signal was very bad. I asked to changed, they did it without any problems. The room they moved me in was not very good (see the picture) and the worst thing it was so loud, coz right next to it after the wall there is some playground with waterslide for kids. And in the next morning I was woken up by these sounds and the stuff who were cleaning and the people near my room - sound isolation is VERY VERY bad. The whole next day I was feeling so weak coz I didn’t get enough sleep. Doesn’t worth the money I payed, I Ubud there are much nicer places for the same price or cheaper

The staff went above and beyond helping us with activities, taxi’s, and recommendations. The pool was lovely, the beds comfortable, and the location was only around 10-15 minutes to ubud centre. Would recommend highly.

Good location, good common area

A bit dirty, bathroom not too good..

The stuff was mainly friendly and supportive. The fee reasonable.

The original room had a moldy air (probably coming frome the AC); so I asked for another one: it was better, but the bathroom still moldy. The description and the photos let me expect a natureous and spacy place, it was not. The description „entire villa“ was definitely a lie! because I had a simple room only with shared terasse.

The host /owner was very good came to pick up from hotel & owner arranged a trip around ubud

The accommodation was advertised as a superior villa with private pool and hot tub ,but was a large room with a bath in the bathroom , bathroom covered in ants and had a strong smell of urine around the toilet on the tiled floor, shared pool with other guests. No lounge area and far away from any facilities need to get taxi to main ubud area

We really liked the location of the accommodation. It is close to the center of Ubud, but still located in a very quiet area. The room was clean and well equipped. We were able to choose what to get for breakfast from a small „menu“ and it was freshly prepared.

We couldn’t close the Bathroom Door properly and were not opaque.

The family was really kind and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. Really great price for what you get here. We enjoyed our stay here and when i am back near Ubud, i will definitley stay here.

Nice family

Too far from amenities

A paradise within the city of Ubud with excellent facilities and wonderful attention from the entire hotel staff. Its wonderful rooms and fantastic pool, along with the large table where you can have breakfast and talk with other guests, make you feel at home with the owner. My sincere congratulations to the entire team at The Sowan Ubud.

Everything has been wonderful
