Buana Ubud Inn

Buana Ubud Homestay is tucked away from the street-front, so much so that it feels quite private and removed from the throb of the main streets. Signage at the front is minimal, so keep your eyes peeled for it! The staff were efficient, and ensured facilities were kept as operational as possible throughout my stay. The pool is a treat for the senses if you're staying in the heat. My room was on the first floor, accessed through narrow stairs. Facilities were basic but robust, including a solid shower and a comfortable bed. Each morning a thermos of hot water was delivered outside the room for use with instant coffee (some provided), and the balcony chairs provided a beautiful vantage over the grounds. The room I stayed in was perfect for a solo traveler but I imagine it may have been a squeeze for more than one person.

The staff were friendly and available as needed, but I did feel like they were nervous or reserved to interact with me whilst I was there. My check-in was incredibly fast, almost with no words shared. It was also a little hard to get information about what was available around the property, meaning I did a bit of wandering away from the homestay and had more informative conversations through street vendors about what to do in Ubud.

The staff was amazing. We had free coffee every morning. The pool was really nice.

The location of the hotel is perfect. The hotel staff doesn't speak English but they always do their best to help you. There are 2 kittens at the hotel, they are absolutely adorable.

Nothing bad to mention about the room, but I think it's not the best option in Ubud you can have.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. There was hot water for a nice shower and it was very close to the centre of Ubud. Rooms were a bit small but comfortable nonetheless.

The pool area was lovely. Room was ok, not very big. It was closed to the town, which was great. Good value for a couple of nights. Staff friendly & helpful

Fridges in rooms would be a bonus. Couldn't use the pool for 2 days dilute to some work being done. My balcony was very small, I had to walk sideways past another couple sat outside. Free breakfast would be a bonus.
