    Negative: Only 1 toilet in the room for 10 people, without having another option on the same floor Building is old, need maintenance and a deep cleaning (shower has some mould on the wall, walls in general need some adjustments) No signs of the reception when you arrive because is inside a complex of houses & local shops Bed is soft, but that depends on your taste 3% charge for payments by card (i don’t think is mention anywhere, but is a common thing in asia countries) No towel provided but can rent i believe Some noises during the night & morning from neighbours living near the building

    Good: Curtain near bed, along with blanket/power socket/light/small tray table Breakfast is the best thing! Is included in the price at a near bar, everyday you can choose 3 items including coffee/tea/water Wifi in the room is good (in common area a bit weak sometimes) Bathroom & shower in the room (but only one for 10 people, and no other toilet on the same floor, you need to get out and go to a nearby bar) Common area with seating space, free water/tea/coffee They organise tours Air conditioning is only active in some hours of the day (2pm - 10am) Host is friendly Locker to put your items, better to bring your padlock Soap for hand wash & shower provided (even though most times are empty, just ask the host to fill in again) Location is very central

    The were mause in common area, the I had breakfast included but I didn’t get nothing, there were a lot of ants, it’s too crowded if someone going to bathroom. I don’t actually recommend for solo traveler, no social thing happening.

    The bed was very good

    Thank you very much EKA. My white T-shirt was stained by the clothes hanger on the bed. The faucet here is very difficult to use and the stain cannot be cleaned. When EKA saw this situation, he brought a pot of stain removal product and applied it on the dirty parts with his fingers, and then the clothes became clean. Like a miracle. I wish EKA and all the lovely staff all the best and all their wishes come true.

    Just as a recommendation, you should put a sign at the entrance as it's hard to find the hostel

    Bed was really comfy, with your own light, plug and courtains. You have 3 daily options for breakfast, and the staff was really nice :) they offer tea and coffe for free which is always appreciated

    Ok just for one night emergency, if nothing else is available. But there are many options around... like bamboo hostel. They are a cheap stay but they seem to care only about the more money they can make with the excursions or other trips they can book outside Ubud. They forget about hosts breakfast, cleaning, toilet paper in the toilet, etc. I arrived 9h50 for brakfast and waited for almost 35 minutes at the place for breakfast and there was no one, there was a bell which a rang and 20 minutes later i saw there was people inside but just did not answer. They say breakfast is from 8h to 10h30 at reception. At the place it sais until 11h, but when I talked to this person who "runs" the place he said it was until 10ham, I showed him the sign saying until 10h30am and it was 10h15. He asked me if I would stay more or if I would leave because he needed to clean the place and change the bed sheets. I said I understood check out was at 12pm and The place is not very friendly for solo female traveler (unless you will use the spa downstairs and they will try to treat you better to make more money out of you). For women there has even visual don'ts at the wall, but men can do watever, they can smoke inside the place, they can do a mess in the toilet and flood it with water and stay 40 minutes occuping the only one bathroom in a room for 10 guests. The person who runs the place, seems like Gede, is the only one who knows things and he does not spread out communication. The first day he told me via booking chat I could go and leave my stuff at reception around 11h and if the bed was ready i could even leave it there. When I arrived no one knew about it and said "check in only 2pm". I said i needed to leave my bags there as I had talked to admin via booking and they had me fill out all information on a form and i had another appointment to go to... It seemed ok for one night but I needed to extend.

    They clean the place every day

    center of Ubud where the hostel is - is a bit noisy and crowdy. but ok:) and i think there's no sign if a hostel from the road, so you have to ask to find it (but actually directions at the map are ok to understand where it must be)

    the hostel is really good! clean, very near to all places, with comfortable beds. the breakfast was absolutely great - in a beautiful cafe next to the hostel!

    The beds had curtains and were comfy, the location of the hostel was great, the staff were SO helpful- Gede was great. I liked it so much that I booked 1 extra night to enjoy my time in Ubud longer. I couldn’t recommend this hostel enough to solo travellers - really good! Also the breakfast was amazing- I got banana pancake every day and it was beautiful.

    This hostel is so great, I stayed 2 weeks. It's a quiet place in the center of Ubud, there is only one room and one living room, everything is so clean and the location is perfect. The breakfast is in the restaurant next to the hostel, you will like the pancakes! the staff is nice and helpful.
