Villa Nini Ubud

Villa Nini is a small oasis 3 km from the noisy and crowded Ubud, which is perfect to end the day relaxing or even spend a relaxing day enjoying the pool. It consists of 5 villas in a row parallel to a rice field. There is a magnificent and very clean communal pool and the last two villas have a private pool. There is always someone at reception but the complex depends on the bliss hotel with whom you can easily communicate by WhatsApp or they will come to you by car whenever you need it. Breakfast and meals (if you want them) are served in the viila perfectly presented and at their hot or cold point according to the csso. Likewise, the breakfast is complete, varied and delicious.We stayed for 10 days in a private villa (2) from where we visited almost all the tourist places in Bali up to a maximum distance of 2h30' and we enjoyed it very much.The staff is wonderful. The bliss hotel spa was incredible, the food was delicious and the attention provided was unbeatable.The villa is very spacious. There is an additional room with a single bed that we do not need but where there is no fan or air conditioning. The double bed is comfortable, large, has a mosquito net and is very clean. The bathroom is open and very spacious. There is a large outdoor kitchen that we do not use (I don't think it is necessary) except for the refrigerator and a dining area. The pool is super clean and the garden is incredible: clean, well-kept and beautiful. Offers absolute privacyYou are in "the field" so you can hear frogs, there are mosquitoes (very few), birds, small spiders, dogs bark, it smells like vacsa... I repeat: you are in "the field"To improve: general cleaning and daily cleaning in the bathroom. The villa is old, it needs renovation. But I totally recommend it

catastrophic hotel in the nature of snake frogs…. at the reception I see a snake to avoid.

First the positives1. Huge Villa, lot of space in bedroom, spare room, separate kitchen and dining area, private pool, outdoor seating.2. Good greenery in and around Villa.3. Staff is available for help and make you comfortable.4. Location is off from main Ubud market which we wanted so it was less crowded and we hardly faced traffic coming back to Villa at the end of the day.5. Laundry, Supermarket, Money Exchange and Italian restaurant at 5 mins walk6. Breakfast is provided in the Villa as per fixed menu option or alternatively go to their main Resort for buffet option.7. On the day of Mount Batur tour we left at 3am and the staff provided basic breakfast in a box to carry which was very kind of them.8. Quiet place if you want to have a laid back time during the day.Now the drawbacks...1. The property is not independently operational and have just couple of staff to look around the needs of the guests. Their main property Ubud Bliss Spa and Resort is where the entire team is based of and all communication happens with them via whatsapp so for most of the things you have to inform them in advance. Even the check in check out process happens at their main property. Moreover they are not fully aware of Villa Nini booking details as explained in my next point.2. The staff wasn't aware about my booking details, the Villa we booked had one double bed and one single bed and they asked if I had booked an extra bed for our kid, I had to show them my booking details to make them understand. They created same confusion for breakfast as well and told me only 2 person b/f is included, I had to again raise the issue with them showing booking details which had booking of 2 adults and 1 kid with breakfast included which they acknowledged later.3. The property is not maintained well, we had issues with hot water in shower which took them 2 days to resolve, on 1st day we had to take shower in neighbouring villa which was unoccupied and on 2nd day we showered with cold water as our tour pickup was scheduled. Although they compensated by giving us complimentary one hour spa and complimentary floating breakfast. The gas at the villa was also not working which took them 2 days to sort, so it's a pain where you have to keep worrying about housekeeping issues on your vacation.4. The lights in the Villa are pretty dull and even during the day the natural light doesn't come so it's gloomy.5. Since the property is next to rice field you will find all kinds of insects and rainy creatures, like Mosquitoes ofcourse which are in abundence, spiders, frogs, crickets, earthworm, snails, flies, lizards... these we could identify. Be prepared to wake up to roosters but that's natural in this kind of setup.6. No mosquito repellent is provided so please carry your own and also carry mosquito repellent cream.7. The spare room doesn't have AC or fan, fortunately for us the climate was good and the rains made temp go down but otherwise sleeping in that room could get hot and humid.8. The villa will have noises from all kind of creatures and sometimes in the middle of night it can disturb you as they might me on the roof of villa making some irritating sounds9. The private pool is not entirely clean as it's surrounded by plants, the water was cold and the depth is around 5 feet so to enjoy floating breakfast you have to be taller. We passed on the floating breakfast as the water was quite cold.10. The vehicles can't reach till the villa entrance so either you will have to walk that 100 mtr narrow lane or stop at Bliss Ubud Resort and call for the buggy which is normally fast. Not a big issue but just thought of mentioning.11. Villa doesn't have any locker box12. For such a big villa just one dustbin is provided so washroom, bedroom and outside kitchen has to share a dustbin or use your own plastic bags to avoid throwing trash around.13. Bathroom of villa stinks if it rains and always have dampness.14. Bathtub is not clean as it has mud falling and sometimes leaves falling in it, so we didn't use it.

I stayed here for three comfortable days. It was a natural environment, and some bugs didn't bother me much. The staff are very kind and will help tidy up the room, which is of great help to us who are busy traveling.The location is just right compared to the center of Ubud with traffic jams.The bathtub is super comfortable to soak in!

Great rooms and exceptional that it’s NOT close to Ubud center, which is an awful place. Good for the price and great staff.

Very beautiful, with good privacy, beautiful villas and rice fields, clean rooms and swimming pools, delicious and healthy breakfast, and warm and thoughtful service. You can also enjoy the services of Bliss resort. I will recommend it to my friends.

I’d like to start by saying the villa with private pool is beautiful and service is amazing! Staff are so so friendly and breakfast was lovely. Room is quite dark and you may meet the friendly spider or frog but this did not bother us at all!! However, we did change villas after 1 night as I took the pillow cases off the pillows and the pillows were unfortunately covered in mold. As someone with allergies this was not the place for us to spend our holiday. We are so so grateful for the Villa Nini management team for understanding and transferring us to their sister villa, Bliss Ubud Spa Resort, where they took extra special care of us and made the rest of our stay incredibly special and I will add a review on that page. We truly believe this is not a reflection of Villa Nini and we purely put it down to the fact that it rains often so the location can be quite damp.

Great place to stay in Ubud

I want to come back again and again. Comfortable mIt's really not crowded, suitable for a honeymoon or bringing the kids
