FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is it walkable to Ubud center?
Technically yes (20-25 mins), but the road (Jl. Suweta) is narrow with no sidewalks. Take the free shuttle or a Grab bike.

Do the rooms smell musty?
Rarely. Cleanliness scores are 9.5/10, and housekeeping is aggressive about keeping mold at bay.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's excellent. If not, expect to pay ~200k IDR ($13) per person.
Can I rent a scooter nearby?
Yes, the front desk can arrange this for you (~70k-100k IDR/day), which is the best way to get around.
Is there a resort fee?
No hidden resort fees, but a 21% tax/service charge is standard in Bali (usually included in the final booking price).
