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.

Nothing

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

Stayed in February 2025

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!!

Stayed in January 2025

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.

Stayed in June 2024

It was my favorite accommodation in Bali, I felt totally homely and the room was very nicely furnished. The family helped me at all times and gave me advice on what to do around Ubud. I would come back anytime.

Stayed in April 2024

Bathroom is a little dark, there were ants in the room the first night, however I didn't see them the other three nights. The only issue I had was that I paid for laundry service, but recieved back my clothes still damp and I had to hang dry them at my next location. But overall that's not a huge issue as I stayed somewhere not far away.

Very wonderful family run business. It was great to stay in a local Balinese compound. Koming was very helpful and friendly, The family is there, really cute dog that loves pets. The room was clean. Lovely outdoor area with chairs table, kitchenette and fridge, as well as fresh water supply for teas and to fill water bottle. A little further away from the main strip which is great if you are renting a scooter, if walking it is a little bit of a hike up from the main parts, but no more than 10 minutes. Very good hot water and pressure in the shower, unique shower set up with stones was something I haven't seen before. Aircon works very well.

I was welcomed to be part of their family and whenever I needed something, they would help me. They have included me in their family celebrations during the Balinese new year and because of this I had an amazing cultural experience. Forever grateful for their hospitality!

Small sink in the bathroom that was not very convenient to use 😊

I loved my stay with Koming and her lovely big family! The atmosphere there is so nice, the family is very welcoming and children are excessively cute:)) Koming is a wonderful host, very honest and a bit reserved, she worked as an English teacher before (but was forced to quit her job because of sickness of her daughter) and her English is great. Koming’s mother (who looks like her sister:)) is a charming and wonderful lady. I just fell in love with this family! Koming and her family own 2 rooms and the rest of the rooms in their house belong to her uncle, as far as I understand. One room, on the upper floor, is more modern and new and has a view from the top. It is very beautiful! The room where I stayed in the basement is older and made in traditional style. It has its own wonderful kitchen and boasts 5 times more kitchenware than at the place where I am staying now with a communal kitchen serving 7 rooms:) I spent a lot of time outside of the room on the terrace (which is combined with the kitchen) making tea, coffee, having snacks, fruits, etc. As the icing on the cake, when you wake up in this room (or just spend time inside), you have a feeling that you are sleeping in the garden thanks to many windows . Such a divine and cozy feeling. Last but not least: I was stunned to discover a gorgeous big “temple” (as I initially thought) just a 2-minute walk from Umah Ubud. It popped up in front of me out of nowhere. As I found out, it is a house of one of the princes’s of Ubud (if the information is correct) and he restored it about 10 years ago. The palace has an aquarium inside and boasts with bright lights of different colors in the evening. Behind it up the hill you will find a cute peaceful rice field. It is very beautiful by day and night! Puri Langon is a hidden gem and is much more beautiful than famous temples in the center of Ubud. It is highly recommended to visit it. You will be definitely surprised!

There wasn't enough sun during the day to dry the clothes

Really quiet place with the occasional roosters making noise. Simple effective decor. Behind is the start of a popular hike amongst the rice fields

Quiet location but still very close to Ubud centre Beautifully clean and well appointed room Comfiest bed I’ve had in Bali

Stayed in January 2024

The roosters will wake you up at around 4-5am! But I think roosters are everywhere around the area, you can’t really avoid them. This forced me to get up early so I didn’t mind too much.

Very cosy private room and bathroom with nice balcony, you can watch the sunset. I love the shower , it was huge and beautifully decorated with stones. Very good vibes from place and owners who were exceptionally friendly. Cute kids living there too. I felt very safe here so would recommend to solo female travellers. Fruit market is 5min walk too, great mangos! A lot of things to do in walking distance.
