The hype
Guests love the massive villas and the quiet Nyuh Kuning location, but many note the property is showing its age.
The Ubud Village Resort & Spa
$170-300/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want a massive private pool villa in a quiet village without paying Four Seasons prices, and you don't mind a bit of rustic 'jungle charm' (read: humidity).
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Huge private villas (starting at 284sqm) with personal pools
- Located in Nyuh Kuning, Ubud's peaceful, tree-lined 'expat village' just south of the Monkey Forest
- Hourly free shuttle to Ubud center saves you from the chaotic traffic
Hızlı Özet: A spacious, aging beauty that delivers on tranquility but struggles with the tropical battle against mold and dampness in its older villas.
@littlewanderingwren tarafından değerlendirildi: I checked into a private villa at Ubud Village Resort and was blown away. My room had a massive canopy bed, a dedicated workspace, and a stunning private pool with a cabana. The highlight was definitely the outdoor bathtub—total jungle luxury. It felt like my own private home.

Reality check
The 'damp smell' in the rooms is the #1 complaint, often requiring a room change or heavy use of AC to mitigate.
- You prioritize square footage and private outdoor space over modern polish
- You want to be near Ubud's action but sleep in dead silence (mostly)
- You enjoy a 'jungle' vibe with geckos, frogs, and open-air bathrooms
Temizlik & Bakım
6
- Housekeeping: Daily service is consistent, but they struggle to keep up with the humidity issues.
- Bathroom hygiene: Open-air design leads to leaves/bugs in the bathroom. Grout and corners often show signs of age and moisture.
- Maintenance: Peeling paint and worn wood are common. The battle against nature is visible.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean but can feel 'damp' due to the ambient humidity.
- Odors & scents: The 'musty/moldy' smell is a frequent complaint in older villas. Airing it out helps, but it lingers.

Oda Talep Cinisi – kopyala ve yapıştır

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is the pool heated?
No, and since many villas are shaded by lush gardens, the water can be brisk.
Can I walk to the Monkey Forest?
Yes, the back entrance is about a 10-15 minute walk through the village.
Is there a shuttle?
Yes, a free hourly shuttle runs to/from the Ubud Palace area.
Are there hidden fees?
Expect the standard Bali 21% tax and service charge added to all spa and dining bills.
Is it suitable for digital nomads?
Wifi is generally decent, but the open-air living areas can be hot and buggy for long work sessions.
Is the gym good?
It's basic. Cardio machines and some dumbbells, but not enough for a serious workout.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
Use the 'scooter path' shortcut to walk to town for free without paying the Monkey Forest entrance fee (ask reception for the map).
- ✨
The 'afternoon tea' is a nice free perk but quite simple — don't skip lunch for it.
- ✨
Book your spa treatments at Dava Spa during 'Happy Hour' slots if available for a discount.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'open air' bathroom means you might shower with a frog watching you.
💡The lighting in the villas is very dim/romantic — hard to apply makeup or read at night.
💡The 'Rice Field' view changes drastically with the harvest cycle; it might be lush green or muddy brown.
💡You are in a real village; you will hear temple ceremonies and local life.
💡The path to the lobby is steep; not great if you have mobility issues (though buggies are available).
