We had an amazing stay at Penol House. The staff is really nice, welcoming and helpful. They helped us to get food and delivered it to us as we arrived late. The room is clean and has a nice view. It’s a good location, you can walk around and find restaurants. But it’s aswell really easy and quick to get a taxi to go to the center of Ubud.

Quite a lot of bugs and loud environment. Location was a little out the way of Ubud centre,need to either rent a bike or get taxis. (This wasn’t an issue for us but could be for others)

Lovely view from our room (balcony room). The bed was comfortable and big. Breakfast was really nice and good value for money (would definitely recommend the banana pancakes). Era was amazing and we throughly enjoyed the Ubud tour offered! He even took us to places which weren’t on the tour.

It was quite noisy in the early morning (roosters & blasting music). There also is no door to the bathroom.

The owners were really friendly and welcoming. The room itself was just as in the pictures.

Very nice and clean! They offer a lot of extra services you can use like laundry, food, massage, trips, etc. We got our laundry done & it was so quick and convenient. Thank you for having us!

Little gap under the French doors, crawling friends are joining at night (had a cockroach 🪳 and a massive spider 🕷️)

Madi was a very caring host. From recommendations on visits to scooter rental and laundry service, everything was flawless.

Super modern place in a quiet area just outside Ubud. The breakfast was exceptional—we had French toast and a pancake! The whole room was very clean and tidy. Recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful stay in Ubud!

Amazing room from the balcony on the top floor. Room was cozy and super clean. I really appreciate staff that helped me with the baggage.

The pictures of booking wasn’t accurate. We booked the room upstairs with a view but we were given a room downstairs without privacy. The property was a local community, apart of the room the level of cleanliness was very low and very very noise. I respect a lot there culture but I wasn’t expected that. Was uncomfortable !

The room was very nice and clean.

In the mornings when the locals start their morning ceremonies it can get quite loud so take some caution on that

If you want to get a genuine experience of the local living you should definetly book here. Upon arriving you will be greeted by the most friendly and loving family living here. The location is really good because its not too far from all the main locations in Ubud and also not in the middle of everything so its still really peaceful. The place is quite new so the rooms are clean and you get warm water for the shower. AC works fine and has great cooling qualities for the room. Breakfast options are also really great. They also have masseuses that can come into your room and massage you. As any other place this place also has bugs like ants, little thermites and big paper wasps BUT the owners and staff can provide you with a powerful insect killing spray wich will help you alot.

Reviews mentioned about noise of children / birds, it’s true. But I didn’t mind it, it was more than fine. Great stay!

authentic experience in ubud! you live with a big family on one property they are very welcoming and kind. they can also help you to book tours. the accommodation is 5-10minutes away from ubud center with the scooter, you can also rent scooters via the family. nevertheless you need to know that it’s a big family with kids and chickens and that it will be loud in the morning in front of your door (around 7 a.m.).

Family were lovely, bed was super comfy, it was a little loud for doing work but not too bad!

Bathroom is not closing, so air in the bedroom is wet, that was very uncomfortable, but it is easy to fix by installing a door, and maybe build or install close please for shower. Second is that you have to understand you leave on the same yard with a big family. They have their own schedule, their own traditions. For me it was okay but my girlfriend, for example didn’t like cocks screaming from early morning)

The prise is good, people around are good. It is clean, not far from Ubud so you can find any service around. Also you can get familiar with local culture here, see how local people leave, be a part of that.
