    Great, but could have been cleaner

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Some strange rules like not having your backpack in the room and hot water only on for some hours of the day. The bathroom is also smelly and was always wet

    Lovely pool and social areas, friendly staff

    The bathroom was disgusting, it was dirty and constantly wet, stank of damp so bad that it made the room smell and everything felt dirty. Beds aren’t the most comfortable and the sheet was stained. Generally not cleaned or maintained.

    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.

    THEY ARE NOT CLEANING BATHROOMS

    THEY DONT CLEAN THE BATHROOM!!!! I have never experienced such a bad smell in a bathroom. I think they never clean there. I stayed there three nights and i went to other places to shower and to go to the toilet. What's going on here? Also they are very loud while drinking every, night. At the „hostel rules" stands that if someone has sex there's a fine of 5.000.000 rupieh. The girl on the reception had sex with a hostel guest in the dorm two nights in a row... so i had the worst sleep and could not go into the bathroom... like prison 0/10 !!!!!!!!

    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!

    Not worth it

    They kept saying that it is a new hostel and that's why for example there was no breakfast. First of all it didn't look new at all and second of all it wasn't clean at all, which has nothing to do with it being new. "Housekeeping" came every day but didn't even bother to rinse out the bathtub. I was glad i always have a sleeping bag in my backpack for emergencies, because I don't think the bed was clean either.

    The staff was really nice.
