The Rice Joglo Eco-Stay

It was a super nice house. Staff was friendly and helpful the owner helped us with many contacts for outings and rides.

Everything was well arranged didn’t really have things we didn’t like.

Landscaping, creating little corners to sit and relax in. Bathtub placement was also nice.

There was construction going on and the noise and dust was irritating to say the least.

It is right in the jungle and rice fields for those where you feel to pass time in calm and silent environment. Cottage was purely decorated with local stuff. Bathroom looking right in to jungle and comfortable in every way. It was great my daughter had a chance to collect tomato’s to the breakfast table. Ducks and turtles were lovely. Breakfast was awesome. I was afraid to travel with all 5 luggage’s and my 4 years old daughter at first on scooter 2km into the rice fields but staff made it so easy and we enjoyed every day the scooter ride down to the city. It is not easy to explain all the beautiful moments we lived but if you come Ubud you definitely have to stay here here at least some time.

Nothing

The breakfast was enjoyable and included several vegetarian and vegan options, which we appreciated. The staff was kind and welcoming. Additionally, the staff provided excellent and efficient laundry service. Though the place was hard to get to for a family of five, the staff made it as easy as possible with the narrow walk that is provided. The brought our belongings up and down during check in and check out. It was nice being close to central Ubud.

The location was more inconvenient than the reviews and description let on. The twenty minute walk through rice fields is also very narrow and poorly lit. My son almost fell into a gutter twice while scooters were passing through. I think this is something western kids might be unfamiliar with so it's more unsafe and unfamiliar for us. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and did not have hot water. Overall, the accommodation is not suitable for every family of five, but certainly could be for some. Because of the open window concept of the eco lodge, there were many mosquitos, and more could have been done to make us comfortable- like repellent. Additionally, the photos shown online were misleading and did not accurately represent the quality of the property.
