Book this if You want the 'Old Bali' spiritual vibe with rice paddy views and saltwater pools, without the $500/night price tag.
Why People Love It
- Stunning views of active rice fields directly from balconies
- Two large pools, including a saltwater option
- Peaceful Pengosekan location that feels miles away from Ubud center but is only a 10-minute walk
Quick Take: A charming, slightly aging time capsule of traditional Balinese hospitality where the rice field views make up for the thin walls.
Reviewed by @ShadiaK: I stayed here with my family and it was pure magic. Opening the wooden doors to endless green rice paddies every morning was the highlight. The gardens are lush, the pools quiet—it feels like the real Bali. Highly recommend for a slow, peaceful escape.
