Gerhana Sari 2 Bungalows

I had an amazing stay at this property, perfectly located between Monkey Forest and Ubud Palace. The location was ideal for exploring Ubud while still enjoying a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The beautiful rice field views, lush gardens, and excellent swimming pool made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts were incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. What I loved most was the authentic experience—it felt like living with a local Balinese family rather than staying at a typical hotel. I felt at home from the moment I arrived. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and memorable stay in Ubud. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This guesthouse is located right in the heart of Ubud, walking distance from Ubud Palace and monkey Forest. Wayan and his brothers run the place, which their father originally started by renting out a single room. Today, they have seven. The breakfast is very good and typically Balinese, with fresh fruit, eggs, and pancakes. I initially booked the fan room through Booking, but I was too hot, so I upgraded to one with air conditioning, which was much more comfortable. The property is only about 100 meters from Monkey Forest Street. Cars cannot reach the guesthouse, so if you are arriving from the airport, you'll need to walk down a narrow alley to find it. However, if you rent a scooter, you can ride it right in and park inside the property. The fish pond is the highlight of the place. You can hear the soothing sound of running water all day long, and you can even feed the fish! Other than that, the place is a ten. The cleanliness is exceptional, the bed is comfortable, and the room comes with an electric kettle and a mini fridge. I would happily stay here again.

I didn't use the swimming pool because it gets full sun throughout the day; a bit of shade there would make it even better.

Small but beautifully designed & kept garden with clean, tempting swimming pool

Central location, walkable to many spots. Very sweet brothers who accommodated me well (e.g. gave me mosquito repellent and a mosquito mat burner, helped me with my luggage). Price for the location and for breakfast included is great.

Did not realise I'd have to walk down a narrow slippery alleyway to get to the accommodation (they helped me with my luggage when I was leaving though). The room also felt damp and humid, however it is rainy season now and I'm sure it's less humid in the spring and summer.
