Villa Mahadevi 2 Ubud Jungle Retreat Joglo

Beautifully located in the jungle, rooms were big and open with lovely views. Friendly staff. The breakfast was great, which consisted of either pancakes, omelette, or eggs your way with toast, bali coffee, fresh fruit juice, and a generous serving of fruit all for 60k. If you’re not a fan of nature and jungle vibes, it may not be for you, but I loved the no tv, and just chilling on the deck playing cards with the kids.

Beautiful garden

Rat infested. We had rats in our bedroom. The manager knew about the rats and found it funny. The whole place is very dirty - bathroom in the main house is worse than a trainstation public toilet. Kitchen very dirty, I refused to touch the fridge door throughout our entire stay. Had to desinfect every cuttlery and every glass before using. Toilet in Joglo 3 (the newest one) has nasty gunk at the base leg, so the whole bathroom stinks like old urine on hot days. Mosquito nets stained with large dead insects littered on top of it. Joglo 2 is worn out, the bed plaid that is on photos from 2021 is still on the bed, never washed by the looks of it. Spiderwebs everywhere, never sweeped. I have stayed in low budget eco lodges in the heart of the rainforest of Borneo, which also had open walls etc. and never experienced such issues. The natural setting is not an excuse for low maintenance. The staff just does not care, they do the absolute bare minimum and it shows. The glory of this place is long gone. Manager, who is the main point of contact, barely speaks English and communication with him is insanely difficult. Do NOT let him talk you into arranging your activities through him - you will regret it. His driver is not a guide and we wasted a whole day with him. Some requests, that were promised to be arranged, were simply forgotten. Do NOT let them talk you into using their drivers - they are way too expensive, creating the prices as they please. Swimming pool lights dont work, so in the evening the pool is an unviting black hole. The only nice thing about this place is the garden, so save your money and stay elsewhere.

The surroundings are spectacular, so is the service and the privacy you get in the joglo. The service personal was also very attentive and super friendly!

Not a negative for us, actually the grand positive, but if you don’t like nature, it’s nothing for you - the joglos are partially open to the nature, so occasional lizard sights inside shouldn’t wonder you ;)

Very very beautiful place. Our villa was wonderful, swimming pool with nearby zone is great. I wish to spend here a weak for maximum relax )

Nothing

perfect location near by the center of Ubud by taxi/ scooter or walking 35-40 min (ridge walk). nice view, house, swimming-pool and staff. we really loved our stay.

none

the most amazing setting I’ve ever stayed at. beautiful garden and huge room with big glass sliding doors. the room is even prettier than in the pictures

good to know is that it’s quite humid in the Ubud area. especially in rainy season. you will also feel that a bit in the villa

This is truly a magical jungle retreat! Tucked away 15 mins from the city center. Traditional Joglo style with shabby chic/ modern interior design. A refresh of linens and bed drapes would serve well but other than that, everything else was perfect from the staff, to the magical views and jungle sounds. I don't like sleeping with the air-conditioner so it was fine for me but those that don't enjoy the humidity it may be a problem because there isnt one . There were 2 fans that kept me cool throughout the night which was perfect for me. I also LOVED the semi open closed feel and waking up to jungle.sounds and the rain. Surprisingly i didnt see many critters ..especially mosquitoes which made me SO happy! There are a lot of jungle.noises... birds, geckos, frogs ALL which I LOVED! It's an excellent meditation space and the staff couldn't do enough to make us feel at home! Our short stay was NOT enough and I would certainly recommend and willl.stay again! Mona, Kethut and Gusti were all fantastic! Thanks for a memorable stay!

Place could have been a little cleaner, but we asked for a super early check in (which they happily obliged) so I was more forgiving because it was so early.

Beautiful place,nice villas. Very nice people,working in villa. Best regards to them!🙂 Stunning sunrise! Nice lobby-kichen-dinning-relax zone near the pool. Swimming in the pool in the midle of the junge with a lot of voices around you.

Floor in the jonglo. Nice to have them fixed😉. A lot a chlorine in the pool. It's a little bit strrange to have such chlorine smeling pool in such beautiful surraunding Not comfortable beds

The location was stunning - size of the rooms was huge and so beautifully in keeping with the surroundings

Nothing !
