Friendly staff, amazing people.

The pressure in the shower was a bit odd, the water sprayed everywhere.

The common areas and pool area were gorgeous! The staff were super accommodating too. We had booked a mixed dorm but I think there might have been a glitch with booking.com because they had no more mixed dorm beds available, so the staff but me and my friends in a private group room for no extra charge. They were super kind and willing to help us despite the fluke!

Awesome place with great staff and respectful people! The hostel is well-equipped and very beautiful. It can be complicated to go around if you don't have your own scooter (not lots of sometimes in the area). Had great sleep - this is not a "party hostel" but they have a pool table and a great swimming pool to hang out with the people and great bonds! Would definitively go back if I had to stay in Ubud.

I stayed one month at Ubud Backpacker Hostel and am so happy I did. The vibe at the hostel overall is wholesome, fun and friendly, you can find a tranquil peace and at the same time a fun social environment. There’s billiards almost every night and barbecue night once a week. The accomodation have A/C & the facilities & beds are changed/cleaned daily. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. They are really helpful with anything you need and offer great advice/suggestions about activities.

Sometimes a bit packed if there’s 10 people in the room, but thats why I stay in a hostel rather than privates

Reading the reviews make me a bit indecisive but turns out when I come here, surprised with an old Balinese building that has a lot of details, swimming pool and pool table anytime I want, fun BBQ party and chilling with other travelers! Great hospitality from the staffs, my favv is Bobo (golden retriever dog) that steals everything he can 😂😂 Bed is comfortable and room is cold, intend to stay one night and decided to extend!

Backpacker Hostel was a highlight of our trip in Ubud, it basically became our home away from home and we ended up staying over 3 weeks! It was a peaceful hub that in some evenings transformed into a lovely social hub. Friends who had to move on would always come back in the evenings to hang out and we all joked how we leave to our next destinations but always end up back at this hostel. Helpful lovely staff, kitchen is super useful, lovely pool area and just all round great vibe. We love Ubud Backpacker Hostel ❤️ and its value for money. They put so much effort into making it a great stay for people and try to accommodate you and nothing is ever too much. We had so many nights to remember here thank you family x

Stayed in the dorm. Wish that the toilet was separate from the shower. A lot of waiting to use the toilet between all in the dorm.

The bathroom is old and could have been cleaner. There was a lot of turnover during my 9-day stay and I had a feeling the sheets were not always changed in between guests.

The hostel is located in a quiet street, but still at walking distance from the centre and plenty of good restaurants and shops. It has a nice outside area and a great pool. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I met fun people at the hostel, but the one I loved most was Bobo, the owner’s golden retriever.

Nothing to complain.

I stayed at this hostel twice, and I love this place, good location, very tidy and lovely staff, they were incredible to me. Good kitchen and space to cook, bathroom outside and inside of the dorms. When I return to Bali, I will stay there once again.

Nothing to complain about really, rooms looks like the pictures and socially it is a treasure!

We had the best experience! First of all the staff were sooo helpful. We were a group of 5 who wanted to sleep together so we got our room upgraded for free to a private room. The room was very good value for money and the staff were also very helpful when we needed help or things didn’t work, they came the second we asked. The pool area was also very nice but our favorite thing was the hangout area and the kitchen. We cooked our own food almost every morning and evening and on the evenings we always got invited to hangout with the staff. They offered us to eat dinner and drinking with them and we were together all night eating fruits and singing songs. This place just felt like home, something you rarely find these days. Thankyou Ubud backpacker hostel P.s please say hi to Glenn, Sven and Gösta from us!

Despite the challenges of the rainy season and surrounding forest, which brought an influx of mosquitoes, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. After I mentioned the issue, they promptly purchased mosquito repellent and took extra steps to minimize the nuisance, showcasing their dedication to customer satisfaction.

I had an amazing 7-day stay! The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, ensuring every request was promptly taken care of. They truly made me feel well looked after and comfortable. The beds were cozy, rooms spotless, and the pool fantastic. The kitchen area was well-equipped with everything I needed. What impressed me most was the swift response to any request I made. I formed wonderful friendships during my stay and can't wait to return!

Nothing. All was good

One of the best hostels I have stayed before. They were cleaning and making beds every day. Everyone was super kind and welcoming. Swimming pool is big and clean. The area is so beautiful.

Great value and beautiful gardens

Bathroom poorly designed with no shower curtain, floor throughout was constantly wet. Air conditioning didn’t work during the day, and one night staff forgot to turn it on before going home.

Great location, staff and facilities are excellent.

Bathroom could be cleaned better. Water in the shower was cold. Small light at esch bed was missing.

Big, clean pool in a very nice setting. They have female dorms and a kitchen you may cook and refill water. Super friendly staff who are very helpful with everything!

Comfortable stay, value money. The place was kept very clean and bed are so comfortable. Friendly staff. The entire property gives you a feel good vibe in ubud. Get towel and locker. Very recommended.

Unfortunately, my stay was disappointing. The facilities were old and dirty, and the attached bathroom smelled of mold. Despite quiet hours starting at 10 pm, loud party music continued until 1 am, making it difficult to sleep. There was no breakfast, although house rules indicated otherwise. The bedding and interior were of low quality polyester, as other hostels at the same price in Ubud had linen curtains and cotton bedding. I had booked for two weeks but left after three nights for the reasons explained above. When I requested the return of my 100K lock and towel deposit, the receptionist initially refused, claiming he didn’t know what it was. Only after asking him multiple times, did he check the folder I told the other employee had put it in (stapled together with my check-in info), and reluctantly return it without apology. However, the manager was very kind and understanding when I informed him of my early departure and offered a 50% refund, as stated in the booking conditions. Unfortunately, after my departure, the property denied the refund via Booking.com, and despite months of follow-up, I still haven't received it. While a few staff members were nice, overall customer service and facilities need significant improvement. I cannot recommend this hostel in the state it was during my stay.

The girl at the reception was very friendly, and the kitchen was equipped with a coffee grinder, a V60 filter, and a blender.

The hostel is unfortunately dirty. Toilets smell of mould and was dirty, kitchen is very dirty, there was not enough soap to wash the dishes and plates/utiensiles were dirty. It’s a pity cause the place has a lot of potential.

Staff was kind. It has a pool and a kitchen, which is good.
