Cahaya Guest House

It was a very very pleasant stay with Cahaya Guest House. We booked for three nights at the beginning and decided to extend one more night at Cahaya. The staffs and the service were incredibly amazing!!!! The breakfast was simple yet so so so good. My friend had Nasi goreng for four days straight lol. And the way they paid attention to small details really made our day! The views are amazing too. We will definitely choose to stay here if we are back to Ubud. thank you so much!

Nothing.

Amazing!!!

None

Oh my God how sweet the hosts are. I felt like home. The room was very nice and i had an amazing view. The breakfast was great. I wish you a lot of success

Bathroom could be a little bit cleaner

The location is stunning and the furnishings are really modern. The price was really low. The breakfast was good, you get to choose from 3 different options the night before and then someone brings it to you on the terrace at the time you set in the morning (without entering the room, because the terrace is shared (tough you do get privacy).

Sadly, the two main issues were insects and cleanliness. It was obvious they didn't dust the property in months. There were spider webs on the wooden decoration above the beds (which we cleaned a little with wet wipes), as well as in other places. Now the insects... the moment we entered the room there was a giant ant on the bed. As we started to unpack and check the bet, we could see other tiny insects on the mattress. We asked for a bug spray which the host promptly provided, then sprayed the room and then let it aerate - which took about an hour because we really wanted to get the smell out. But once we got inside and sat on the bed, another ant decided to share the bed with us. There was also a really thin worm on the terrace which got inside and added to the anxiety. We saw a few more that night and didn't get really good sleep because we kept waking up thinking about these insects. In the morning, the gecko that was outside the room hid into the terrace door frame and we asked the lady who brought us breakfast to help us find it and get it out... She didn't speak English and called a boy who was there who then said he will get the manager or something... which I don't think he did at least by the time we went out. We checked out after the first night even though we had paid for 5 nights because there was no obvious way to keep our bed and floor insect-free. Such a shame for an otherwise modern location with a great view... but when you are this close to the woods, deal the doors and install some insect nets and clean it properly every day or every other day - and I would gladly pay double the current price to stay there! PS. The hot water fluctuated between hot and cold more than in other properties we stayed in Bali. There are a few small dogs on the property and one of them started barking at us a couple of times - just something to keep in mind!
