Pondok Putri Sari

The staff was so sweet, the swimming pool nice. The garden super lovely. Every morning a different breakfast. It is a bit from the main road, the last part is not reachable by car. But the walk is lovely through all the banana trees.

The villa itself was basic but had everything you would need for a relaxing stay in Ubud. Madi’s breakfasts were wonderful and she was also very helpful, especially with our very late check in. The room was cleaned daily and the surroundings were also well maintained. The area is very peaceful but still within walking distance to Ubud town.

Some small improvements and updates would really make a big difference here. For example, the pool towels smelled really badly and the shower towels were stained. The sheets were also stained and the extra cushions on the bed smelled really badly too. The rainy season doesn’t help for drying towels and so new towels every day would have been a small but welcome improvement.

The host, Maddy, was very nice and informative. She was always available on whatsapp to provide advice and connect us to services. We mostly planned our own trips but she appeared to have lots of activities and connections for those that prefer a guided service. Maddy was happy to make breakfast at the time of our choosing. Breakfast was always fresh fruit with some different hot food everyday (pancakes, jaffles, omlette etc.). The location is very quiet at the end of a small street. It takes 5 minutes by scooter to get into the main shopping and food area, making it a peaceful but convenient escape from the busy streets. The room was cleaned daily and we were given fresh towels daily. The bed is very comfortable and large. The bathroom was clean and shower was always warm with good pressure. Air con works very quickly to cool down the room. You share the pool with one other villa but we barely saw our neighbours so it felt like we had it all to ourselves. We think Maddy runs an excellent business and the value for money was amazing. We would love to stay again!

We liked the location as it felt secure but some travellers may find it difficult as the street leading up to the villa is very narrow and cars can not get you to the doorstep. If you do not ride a scooter, expect to walk around 20 minutes to get to the main road and expect to have cars drop you on a different street which then requires a short 2 minute walk to the villa.

There is only two villas. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Madi make the best banana pancakes for breakfast.

friendly welcome, helpful staff, carrying my luggage the long way to the bungalow, transport at reasonable price quiet bungalow, good size for a family of four, nice terrace with garden view, clean pool, large bathroom with working hot shower, parking for motorbikes available, wifi fast and reliable, flat screen tv with working cable channels (eg Prime, Netflix)

basic breakfast, prepared fresh, a menu to choose from would be nice not suitable for guests with a car ( deadend road only for motorbikes)

This is place is a gem. Only 3 rooms on the property so you feel like you have the whole place to yourself. I cannot thank the staff enough they truly were the best and helped me with everything i needed. Bfast was delicious the gardens are beautiful and this place was immaculately clean all the time. They make sure you always have hot water for tea/coffee, passionfruit right off their trees, clean pool, spacious rooms, beautiful setting that always smells like frangipanis and it is so quiet even though you are a 5 mim walk to town. I would come back for sure!

The place is wonderful, really homey atmosphere, a lot of nature around, you can really feel the Bali here. The garden is amazing, so manu beautiful plants, pool is great, clean, nice to relax by the water and enjoy the day. Rooms are quite big and spacious, nicely decorated, you don't hear the fus and noise from the city and traffic. Beds are so comfortable, we really rested and slept very well. The host Madi is amazing, always so nice an welcoming, her breakfast is always traditional Bali food and so very tasty.
