Pool and room

Stayed in April 2025

Could use a good parasol at the pool for sunny days. You either need a scooter or a car to get to restaurants and shopping. Shower didn't had hot water

Great place to stay and relax. Very friendly family-run villa. Great and comfi rooms. Just 2 of them! Swimmingpool is nice. Breakfast was fine. Close to ubud centre, owners drives you there for local price in 5min. Very quiet. Fresh banana's!

We loved everything about the property!

The villa was clean and spacious! It was so private as no one was next door so we had the pool all to ourselves. The bed was comfy and the AC was great! Dony and his wife do an amazing job! Super friendly and helpful!! Fabulous breakfast made fresh everyday!

There were several aspects of the property that we didn’t like. 1. Location: The location was a major disappointment. The path leading to the property was terrible, and there was ongoing construction, which made it even worse. We ended up wasting a lot of time just traveling to and from the property. Additionally, many cab drivers refused to enter due to the narrow road leading to the property. 2. Privacy Issues with the Pool: While it was fine for us since we had booked both rooms, the pool would be shared if two separate families rented the apartments. This could cause privacy concerns for others. 3. Lizards in the Rooms: There were lizards inside the rooms, and despite our requests, the staff couldn’t completely address the issue. We eventually had to accept it as it was. 4. Hot Water: The availability of hot water was inconsistent. After one or two people showered, we had to wait for the water to heat up again, which was inconvenient. 5. TV Issues: The TV wasn’t working during our stay. The cable wasn’t functioning, so we couldn’t use it at all. 6. Outdoor Cleanliness: The general cleanliness outside the rooms was lacking. There were a lot of mosquitoes, and we had to specifically ask the staff to clean the area. 7. Unreachable Owner: On one day, the owner was completely unreachable. We tried to contact him for breakfast but received no response. As a result, we missed breakfast that day, which was quite frustrating. 8. Smoke Smell: There was a constant smell of cigarette smoke, which was unpleasant. While I’m unsure if we reported it, it did dampen our experience.

The property itself was quite good. It was separate from the main house, which was a plus. Since we had booked both rooms, we had the pool entirely to ourselves, which was great from a privacy perspective. The property was also clean, which added to the overall positive experience. Breakfast was good as well when available.

There were some stains on the towels, the safe wasn't properly working and the road to the villa is very bumpy, narrow and muddy. However, we really enjoyed our stay and the landlords were very kind.

Very comfortable bed, spacious room, newly decorated. It felt very cozy, the breakfast was nice but you have to order it on WhatsApp, so we were a bit confused at first.

The location was awesome and quiet. Not at the center but in an area which has a lot of peace and nice restaurants. We had our 3 month baby with us and they helped arranged a cot for us. Ketut and his wife were very attentive to our needs as a family with a baby and we really appreciated that.

The location is a bit hidden, you will need to call a grab bike if you want to visit the city center. (5-10 mins)

Good value of money with private experience. Only two rooms in this hotel/home stay. Shared pool with quiet and nice pool view. The owner is a couple and they are very friendly and helpful, made delicious breakfast.

Bath water gets frequently cold.

The room is very big and the bed is super comfortable! The villa is located very close to the center (~17 min walking), but in a quiet place. Donnie, who is going to receive you, is very friendly. He is a tourist driver and can take you on tours in ubud!

Only thing we didn’t like was the location.. wasn’t a big issue cause we used the Gojek app most of the time to get around, but would have been nice to walk sometimes. There were a bunch of dogs who live close by, who were a bit aggressive everytime scooters drove by. Scared me, so we ended up getting a Gojek car ecerytime we left. This isn’t the fault of the host tho so if dogs aren’t an issue for you, never mind this comment

Breakfast was really good. The host is super friendly and helps you out with whatever you need. The pool was great, the room was beautiful, even has a bathtub!

Fantastic hosts and very nice set up

Absolutely nothing!

Everything! This is one of my favourite stays. The villa had everything we needed. So clean and extremely comfortable. The bed was amazing! Best linen and slept like a log. So well maintained and looked after. Dony and his wife take such good care of you, they helped us with an earlier check in, organised us a scooter and made us feel so welcome. And he picked me fresh coconuts in the morning. The small extra touches. We also had some good chats :) in a quieter street so you can rest, and there’s also a great restaurant in walking distance and a secret waterfall. But I do recommend having a scooter or a driver to do adventures. Dony also offers pick up services and day tours.

Ubud is surrounded by nature, so it’s common to get a few bugs - but that would be true regardless of location. The house is down a narrow alleyway, and even though it was close to Ubud centre, there was no pedestrian path to walk to town.

Excellent home made breakfast. Donny is an excellent host, he drove us to all the nearby attractions, planned good itineraries, and recommended delicious restaurants. The hosts were attentive, and if any issues occur, they address it very quickly.

Loved the patio area facing the pool, everything is clean. Bed is comfy. Short drive to town. Donny was there to assist with tours and taking us literally everywhere. It's quiet and nearby supermarkets and restaurants. Oh and breakfast was good. Would stay here again!

Nothing really. It was an incredible stay :)

Everything! Gorgeous villa / cottage with wonderful hosts

Stayed in June 2024

No hot water for all our stay but didn't complain about it because everything else made up for it.

Loved the atmosphere, the cleanliness, was close to town but you need a bike or taxi (10mins drive). Donni was amazing, took us everywhere and helped with anything we needed. The pool was lovely.

Nothing!

The Aruna villa is the most lovely accommodation. It is perfectly located within short walking distance to the Main Street of Ubud but also so peaceful and quiet. The villa and pool are amazing - so clean and beautiful. This villa and its staff were a highlight of our stay in Ubud - couldn’t recommend it enough.

Very calm and peaceful location. Set up was really good to relax and wine down.

The property was clean, spacious, had the pool right outside bedroom. The staff Donny and wife were exceptional they drove us to experiences, into town and even came late at night to get a lizard out of the room. They gave us fresh coconuts every morning. Even brought us free water on our day trips. Daily cleaning and took our laundry to be done to save us wasting the small amount of time we had there. Donny drove us to the airport.

Stayed in February 2024

We had an amazing stay at Aruna Villa. Donny was always helpful and nice, giving us fruit from the garden and taking us on a tour too . Our view of the garden was beautiful and was the perfect place to be close to Ubud but felt like we were out of the city. The breaky was delicious and we loved our villa!! Would highly recommend.

Location a bit outside Ubud and a little bit difficult to find.

Host Doni and his wife were extremely friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast and very nice pool in a nice setting.

The villas are located behind the owners home, they are very friendly and helpful,but give you privacy to enjoy the villa
