Flamboyant Villa Ubud

Flamboyant Villa is a small accomodation in the center of an authentic part of Ubud. Located in a back street, so no cars around and just a 20 minute walk to the city center through a calm street. I stayed in one of the studio's with a small kitchen. The studio and bathroom was super spacious, a comfortable bed, thick towels and quiet air conditioning. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I've stayed over 2 weeks for a yoga training nearby and Cuming & Wayan (hopefully spelled correctly), asked regularly how things were going, very friendly and great hospitality. The pool was great size, deep and perfect for a swim. It is a small hotel, only 10 rooms, perfect to meet other travelers. Would definitely return.

The shower and bathroom were cleaned daily, it could however use a deep clean to remove the limescale stains on the glass walls.

We really enjoyed our stay! The pool was very clean, and the staff were understanding and accommodating when we lost our keys. We also loved the bathtub and how easy it was to navigate around the villa. The toilet even had a bidet function with a button, which was a nice touch!

However, a few things could be improved — the plants around the bathtub were dried and dead, the bathtub had some scum that needed more cleaning, and one of the sliding doors on the right side of the bed wasn’t functioning properly.

Loved the location. Beautiful garden, peaceful, relaxing. Cold pool - so very refreshing after a hot day out- doesn’t get a whole lot of sun- but that was fine for us.

When we first checked in there was a musty smell in the room. We had a large room so had 2 heat pumps running, after the 1st night one was turned off, after this the musty smell went away and was perfect. I think the other heat pump needs to be replaced - As this is where the smell was coming from.

Oasis of calm bar the cockerel in the morning. Friendly and helpful staff. Compact pool but sufficient for our needs. The Junior suite was very spacious and the kitchen/dining area suitable for 4 people to seat around and have take away dinners. Nice balcony. Didn't use the cooking facilities so can't comment on those. Bedrooms on the 1st floor are spacious. Good pressure in the shower and comfy beds. Plenty of nice restaurants and cafes nearby. Convenient to walk to town but beware of the motorcycles on the path. Breakfast nice fresh juices and fresh fruits. Happy to organise days out with a driver. Very helpful when we struggled to book a food delivery.

The bedrooms on the ground floor could do with a lick of paint. There is also a damp smell and we could not use the wardrobe because of this. Breakfast:The pancakes were very thick, no choice of teas or just toasts. Given the fact that there is a nice bakery just up the road maybe there should be an option for bakery items. We ended up not having breakfast at the property. No shuttle service to town. Would need a taxi to go to Ubud in the evenings as the path is not lit up.
