Ubud Backpacker Hostel

The common areas and pool area were gorgeous! The staff were super accommodating too. We had booked a mixed dorm but I think there might have been a glitch with booking.com because they had no more mixed dorm beds available, so the staff but me and my friends in a private group room for no extra charge. They were super kind and willing to help us despite the fluke!

The pressure in the shower was a bit odd, the water sprayed everywhere.

Awesome place with great staff and respectful people! The hostel is well-equipped and very beautiful. It can be complicated to go around if you don't have your own scooter (not lots of sometimes in the area). Had great sleep - this is not a "party hostel" but they have a pool table and a great swimming pool to hang out with the people and great bonds! Would definitively go back if I had to stay in Ubud.

I stayed one month at Ubud Backpacker Hostel and am so happy I did. The vibe at the hostel overall is wholesome, fun and friendly, you can find a tranquil peace and at the same time a fun social environment. There’s billiards almost every night and barbecue night once a week. The accomodation have A/C & the facilities & beds are changed/cleaned daily. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. They are really helpful with anything you need and offer great advice/suggestions about activities.

Reading the reviews make me a bit indecisive but turns out when I come here, surprised with an old Balinese building that has a lot of details, swimming pool and pool table anytime I want, fun BBQ party and chilling with other travelers! Great hospitality from the staffs, my favv is Bobo (golden retriever dog) that steals everything he can 😂😂 Bed is comfortable and room is cold, intend to stay one night and decided to extend!

Sometimes a bit packed if there’s 10 people in the room, but thats why I stay in a hostel rather than privates

Extended one night and I loveee random plans going out to a club with the groups, having adventures like ATV riding and sunrise hike 😍

The girl at the reception was very friendly, and the kitchen was equipped with a coffee grinder, a V60 filter, and a blender.

Unfortunately, my stay was disappointing. The facilities were old and dirty, and the attached bathroom smelled of mold. Despite quiet hours starting at 10 pm, loud party music continued until 1 am, making it difficult to sleep. There was no breakfast, although house rules indicated otherwise. The bedding and interior were of low quality polyester, as other hostels at the same price in Ubud had linen curtains and cotton bedding. I had booked for two weeks but left after three nights for the reasons explained above. When I requested the return of my 100K lock and towel deposit, the receptionist initially refused, claiming he didn’t know what it was. Only after asking him multiple times, did he check the folder I told the other employee had put it in (stapled together with my check-in info), and reluctantly return it without apology. However, the manager was very kind and understanding when I informed him of my early departure and offered a 50% refund, as stated in the booking conditions. Unfortunately, after my departure, the property denied the refund via Booking.com, and despite months of follow-up, I still haven't received it. While a few staff members were nice, overall customer service and facilities need significant improvement. I cannot recommend this hostel in the state it was during my stay.
