Owner was very polite and friendly. It was a quite place near the center. Breakfast was delicious.

The room had a strong moldy smell that didn’t go away, even with the windows open. This is the only reason I rated the property an 8 instead of a 10.

What was not to like about the property? It’s centrally located but away from the busyness of Ubud. My room was spacious and inviting. The shower was beautifully decorated. The ac blew cold. There was a patio and an outdoor kitchen area with hot plate, dishes, utensils, a sink, and a fridge. The breakfast was quite good, too. Best of all, Koming and her family were super nice and helpful. I felt so welcome in their compound.

The whole family was very friendly, hospitable, and accommodating to me. I'd stay here again when I come back to Ubud. The property is also surrounded by nature, which I liked.

Owner responsive and helpful on WhatsApp and his mother was super sweet. It was inside of a traditional Balinese complex but well maintained and decorated with a lovely view of the village. The place is not off main streets so could be a bit difficult to get Grab or Gojek, but it's not far from the centre at all.

You are looking directly into another property. The locals burn plastic rubbish sometimes. The room can smell quite mouldy.

Nestled away from some of the chaos of Ubud. It is very quiet and close to nature. The kitchen and balcony are very useful spaces. Good WiFi and well Thought out furniture in the room.

Nothing (everything was perfect!)

Everything was perfect and the family is so amazing, nice and helpful! I felt like in my family and I already love them all. I already want to come back!!!

Mold. My leather jacket was fully covered with mold after 20 days in the room, still trying to recover it :( Isolation is not very strong, so we were struggling with lizards in the room occasionally.

Really kind people made us feel like at home! We liked breakfast on our terrace. The internet was also stable, and we could work from there (video calls, etc.). It is near the city center, 15 minutes from the Art Market. We enjoyed playing with little dog and cat in the garden. Peaceful stay. Even though I am very noise sensitive, I enjoyed. You can hear some roosters in the morning - but it didn't bother me.

The room had everything needed for my week stay. The family is so sweet. It felt like a true home away from home, tucked away so it was quiet but close enough to the palace and busy areas to walk. The breakfast includes picking from a menu (not just toast like some places), and loved everything I tried! They even have a mosquito plug in the room and brought the mosquito incense every morning outside. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower setup, tended to spray up above my head so I had to take it off of the hook and use the handle.

Fantastic stay in an authentic Balinese guesthouse with the loveliest hosts ever. When they say they take their guests as family, it is not just words... They do it for real. The room is clean, the bed extremely comfortable. I can't recommend it enough!

Everything was perfect, from when we arrived until our departure. We felt very welcome here and experienced a real Balinese homestay. 100% recommended

The only real minus is the musty smell in the room. They sealed off the air vents with plastic, which keeps the mosquitos out but also impedes air circulation and the fan and aircon only help a bit with this. It would be better if they replaced the plastic with mesh.

Friendly hosts, always ready to help. Good location a short walk to the center but far enough away from the noise and pollution. Big, spacious room with lots of shelves, nice private terrace with fridge, dishes and a water dispenser. Good hot water and water pressure. They offer a nice breakfast and even meals at other times (at reasonable prices) if you're feeling lazy to go out, but there are plenty of warungs and convenience stores in the neighborhood if you're not.

I wouldn’t say it’s a dislike but being close to the forest, you will of course hear and meet animals , there was some noise of animals on the roof at night, at first I was a bit scared haha but it might have been just a cat, mouse or wild bird. So nothing bad per se bad, but good to be aware of.

Wonderful unique homestay, overlooking a beautiful forest while still being in walking distance to nice sights in Ubud and great restaurants and the art market. The owners are very nice and took great care of us, even water was provided, tea and coffee.

The bathroom needs an update but was ok. The bathroom floor tiles and the steps up to the room were slippy when wet.

Lovely place. Nice terrace to sit on. I had breakfast as an extra and it was nice and good value. The shower was hot. There was no traffic noise. However, there were other buildings around so there was noise from them. About 15 minutes to walk to downtown.

Absolutely loved my stay with Eka and Koming in their Balinese compound. Thank you so much for making me feel welcome 🙏 highly recommend staying with this lovely family!!

The curtains could be better at prohibiting sunlight from brightening up the room in the early morning but that’s only personal preference.

The owner, Eka is the nicest man we meet in Bali! He offers great hospitality and really makes you feel at home. Room is very clean with a big bathroom. Location is nice, quite central but still away from all of the noice and crowds.

The room was super clean and nicely decorated and the host was so nice and welcoming ! I loved that it's an actual homestay with the rooms being next to where the family lives. Great value for the price, I loved staying at Umah Ubud Guesthouse and would definitely go back, it was perfect !

Very nice thank you so much 🙏😊

Unfortunately, relatives within the family compound were constructing two new units during my stay, so many mornings started with hammering and sawing before 8am. :-( So, ask if there will be construction during your stay dates. If so, and you want to sleep in (or need quiet for video conferencing, etc.), it may be an issue.

Very friendly and helpful hosts, good & reliable WiFi, a lovely little balcony, and nicely isolated from everyday street noise. :-)

A clean room in a quiet compound. About 20 minutes from the center of Ubud. Overlooking the jungle. Lots of chickens and geckos. Fantastic dogs to win over. A welcoming host family. Our time there was perfect.

Bike parking not particularly secure (although it was a quiet street)

Nice clean room. Interesting setting within a local enclave.

An absolutely lovely little place, typical Balinese house with lovely owners. They were kind enough to prepare breakfast early for me since I was departing on a organized trip at 7am. It was a very good experience 🙏

Stayed in July 2024

It was damp inside, but I think it's a common problem for Ubud.

Good location (10 min walk to the center), clean and spacious room, kitchen, very friendly staff.
