Only stayed here for 1 night because we were passing through, but it was great! Super friendly staff and the breakfast they serve is delicious. The pancakes were delicious! They also have a nice swimming pool and the rooms are spacious and neat. In addition, you can easily walk into the center of Ubud.

Lovely staff. Very helpful.Room was spacious and clean. Air con worked.The bungalows and pool are located at the back of a more traditional residence, so you are along way from the noise of the busy road just outside.10min walk to the centre of Ubud does away with the need for a scooter/car if you don't mind a bit of walking.

Hidden gem located near a busy road. Once you enter the hotel area, you are in another world. Step into the tranquile garden and meet the wonderful staff that make you feel welcome. If you're lucky you might meet the little shy housecat named Lala.

Excellent experience! The rooms are spotless. The balcony and the pool are fantastic. The welcome is impeccable and the staff takes great care to ensure that our stay is as pleasant as possible. The breakfasts are excellent and plentiful. The bungalows are ideally located for visits: 10 minutes walk from the center (and restaurants) and quiet, despite a very noisy city. On our last evening, they organized a meal with Balinese dances, simply incredible!

Gunung Merta is a very good place to stay and the price is reasonable.Staff are amazing, very friendly and patient.Our room was clean, neat.Breakfast delicious.I am often puzzled by others leaving quite negative reviews..Is the room a little dirty? Maybe the previous guest was messy and the staff haven't had much time to clean? Ask the staff to clean it while you are out the next day!Towels smell? Ask for clean ones!Shower moldy? It's Bali for heaven's sake! I'm amazed anything dries in this humid environment! Be a little forgiving ;)The location here is particularly excellent, it's just up from Raya Ubud (essentially the main street in Bali) but as soon as you walk through the door it's surprisingly quiet. We had a jungle view balcony which is lovely to listen to at night (for those that don't deduct 3 stars because the noise of Nature is too loud LoL).There was even construction happening when we were here but it was managed well (not at night when sleeping).I would recommend staying here.
