Ngesil Private Joglo & Pool by Aligna Hospitality

The jungle view and the pool was nice.

The step into the bathroom.

None

The property is situated in a complex where there are dogs barking and roosters doing cook a doodle do all day. Any time of the night or day these noises will disturb your sleep.

The view was great The staff super friendly Breakfast was very yummy

It wasn’t very private, I could see the local neighbours through the fence The dogs next door would continuously bark anytime I was chilling outside, which was aggravating. The wifi constantly stopped working through the days. It’s obvious not Bali owned. The contact person wasn’t in Ubud and would take long times to reply when I needed help with the faulty wifi or empty drinking water . It was a foreign property manager. I’d much rather support local business. The most roosters I’ve ever heard in my life staring at 3am The pool was green when I first arrived and they had to empty it, hand clean it and refill, which took hours when I first arrived and I wanted privacy to rest The pool when green again a few days later, so they don’t use chlorine The owners had aggressive dogs that would come at me when I was trying to come and go One dog was on a 1 meter leash 24 hours a day which was sad. I thought about cutting it free but it was also very aggressive The staff would come in unannounced when I was naked and would not leave in the awkward situation The bed wasn’t comfortable, I felt like I would sink into the middle and my partner had no choose but to roll on top of me during the night If you have mobility issues, the step into the bathroom and kitchen is abnormally large and would be dangerously for some.

The private pool was lovely.

There were large holes in the roof (as pictured) and walls, which allowed a large geko entry and it was on the ceiling, daily dropping poop onto the table and floor. The facilities are very poor, the kitchen facilities are very basic for the cost. The Kettle was insanely slow and took an age to boil. Each day, I had to ask for toilet paper as a new roll was not provided. There was dust and hair at the side of the bedside locker. There was a dog 2 metres away from my head that barked incessantly each night from 10pm onwards and woke me up at approximately 6am each morning also, barking at other dogs. The walls are all wooden so the noise is insanely loud, the walls offer no protection from the barking or the roosters going off each morning. There were numerous dogs running around at the entrance which was intimidating entering the property, and in particular a large black dog out the front of this property that followed me and jumped at me on two occasions. I felt scared. The bed dipped down on the left hand side. The 6 nights I slept there, between the bed and noise, I didn't sleep well one night even with earplugs. It was hell for $65 AUD a night.
