Uma Budhas

I would like to give a shout-out of gratitude and appreciation to I Wayan Budastra, the host of the guesthouse. His exceptional kindness and quick-off the mark eagerness to help will always leave you on cloud nine , if staying at Uma Budhas. He will cook you a wonderful breakfast, will keep every single corner of the area clean, and will assist you all the way through if you happen to lose your phone :)

Nonetheless, regardless of what I have said about the host, one should bear in mind that a host is not the only person to have a direct impact on the comfort of your stay. And I must say that even though the host is an amazing person, there was a huge drawback of staying at Uma Budhas. The thing is that there is a permanent guest at Uma budhas who stays there for approximately 6-8 months a year on a regular basis and happened to be staying in a villa next to mine last time I was there. That grumpy old German lady, presumptuously considering herself a part of I Wayan’s lovely family, will make sure to take her time to teach you how to live and will be making annoying comments on whatever you do. If you are a remote worker like me, rest assured she will not let you use the kitchen to fix yourself a dinner or attend a Zoom-meeting peacefully sitting on your veranda cause she cannot read her book inside. She will force you to be working indoors so as to not disturb her, and there are many more things that I have omitted here. So before booking your stay here, I suggest you consider how much comfort you are seeking. I would definitely recommend you to stay at Uma Budhas either when she is not around (that makes 3 months a year, better contact the host to ascertain she is not there) OR if you are not planning to be staying indoors much, thus needing a mere sleeping spot. That being said, I would love to express my gratitude to I Wayan Budastra again for doing his best to make your stay neat.
