The Desa Villa Ubud

Stunning views. Staff was amazing. They were very helpful and you could tell that they want you to have a good time. Definitely would stay here again.

I love this place and very interested

Warning ⚠️ Construction work (Dec 2023) next to villa (8am - 6pm every day)Otherwise, a nice getaway 20 min from Ubud. Very large space, great swimming pool (not heated), jungle view, air conditioned bedrooms, good bathrooms, could be more clean though, also lots of mosquitoes in the evening. Stuff is great 👍

Best place in Ubud.Breathtaking view, great service and facilities. They offer best service, food, massage, transport....While you are here...you have no worries. You can just ask Made or Ayu anything you need, and they provide in no time.Worth 100%

We stayed here for a couple of months during corona. Beautiful place with amazing jungle view and a refreshing pool. Very peaceful and relaxing, feels like living in nature. Away from the busyness of ubud, but still close enough to get into town easily. Located in a wonderful, authentic local village, still untouched by mass tourism. But the best thing about The Desa villa is the family and staff. They are so friendly, accomodating and hospitable. Thank you for making it an excellent stay. 🙏

I recommend this place for all visitors, its very clean and cosy with a nice green garden. The staff is very welcoming and attentive also they organize a taxi and scooter for you, also you can order food, everything one needs.

Loved our time here. Staff were wonderful.

Just got home after a week at the Desa Villa.This was easily the best place we have ever stayed at in Bali.It is 15 minutes from Ubud in a very quiet village and you can even walk into Ubud along a country track.Made and Ayu and their staff just make this place perfect and Wayan the chef is excellent.We intend to return in 6 months cos it was soooo good.Very highly recommended!

I really liked Gusti’s place. The space is cute, tastefully decorated, and surprisingly large for the price.While it’s only one room, it feels like more. A lot of space is dedicated to the sofa, coffee table, and desk, giving the impression of a separate living and sleeping area. The kitchen is outside alongside a dining nook, making the porch feel like an entirely separate room. And the yard is fenced in, providing a small, private gardenThere are also a lot of nice details. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, and a bar of soap are provided—which was lucky for me, as I forgot to pack at least one of these items. There’s a water cooler, which is a touch I wish more homestays would adopt. Bottled water is cheap, but it wastes a lot of plastic, and is tedious to procure.Breakfast isn’t bad. It’s a simple, continental breakfast consisting of toast, eggs, coffee, juice and a generous plate of fruit. They’ll make the eggs however you like; normally I order my eggs sunny side up, but found their omelettes were better. I’d prefer a Balinese breakfast with some daily variety, but that’s not something most places provide in Bali. (Some do, but most stick with eggs and toast)One thing I wasn’t prepared for is how remote it is. You can walk or bicycle to Ubud, the rice terraces, even Tirta Empul—which is what I did. But it’ll take an hour or two due to the steep hills, and isn’t a good idea at night due to dark roads and blind turns. Grab, GOJEK, and Uber are completely unreliable in Ubud, for various reasons, and so you’ll end up paying around Rp100,000 for transportation most anywhere. If you stay here, be sure to factor in the cost of taxis—or, better yet, rent motorbikes (usually around Rp60,000/day).[I could occasionally negotiate taxis down to Rp50,000-60,000, and especially midday, but not with any reliability, and very rarely in the evening. Everything else in Ubud is easily negotiable, but transportation is not.]That said, there are a handful of roadside stands and local warungs nearby, and it’s not that far of a stroll to the trailhead of the Campuhan Ridge Walk, where there are a number of cafes with scenic views of rice fields. You can continue to take the Ridge Walk to Ubud, which will take an hour total. It’s also quite close to the Jungle Fish resort, if that’s your type of thing.One final note: Some reviewers on AirBnB complained about the noise from the nearby “farm”. Really, this is just the sound of chickens crowing in the morning—which is a pretty ubiquitous sound across rural Indonesia. (There’s also a cow and a pig nearby, but they’re quiet outside of feeding time.) Personally, I appreciate the sounds of the roosters.

Good and very loving and pleasant staff. The owner is also cool and funny and a great man, the people here are wonderful and I can only recommend it. Beautiful view in the jungle, great pool with a small house to chill out, if you have guests (friends) you can also stay overnight and have breakfast here. The bathroom has an open gap, which I thought was super cool and emphasized the jungle feeling even more. Humidity is normal here, the climate is like that, if you don't like it you shouldn't come to Bali and stay at home ;-) In short, A1, come back here! Suksuma and the owner and the whole staff, you’re the best! <3
