The hibiscus is really central. Two minute walk for lattes in the morning, great restaurant really close. Staff are really kind, really helpful, scooter hire. The look after you. Birds are chirping, the doors and verandahs are absolutely beautiful x the rooms are massive. Balun and his staff are kind lovely people.

Small family run place amongst the rice fields but only 7 minute walk to the main street with all the action . 15 minute walk to the palace .
They had mopeds for rent at the property which was convenient and well priced .
My room was massive . Traditional property with very high ceiling so it felt cooler than outside. Room had an aircon but I only used the ceiling fan .
Whole property felt like a temple. Clean rooms. Very quiet. I didn’t have any mosquito problems.

Not sure if breakfast changed but it was a very basic breakfast prepared to order. Maybe because I was there in the off season. Fantastic views

Please keep in mind that you have to walk about 4 minutes to the property on a narrow path that only scooters can ride on . No taxis. I had a small and large suitcase . Wasn’t a big issue for me but could be for older people . I would recommend property to send a WhatsApp number on day of arrival to offer helping with luggage from the street and also offer on the day of departure.
Other than that , no issues.
Well priced clean property very close to everything

Possibly the finest hotel experience I ever had and I've had a lot. Every bit of this property is stunning and picturesque. The staff is friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the roof top breakfast every morning. The rooms are very clean well maintained. Location is perfect, walking distance to everything in Ubud but tucked away in quiet serenity. I would most definitely return again without hesitation.

Not clean, we actually changed hotels and lost most of our booking by doing so. Regardless it was absolutely worth it! There were red ants in the room, the bed was not sanitary, the room smelled damp and old. The bathroom was in very poor condition and overall the room definitely did not match the images shown or the booking we made. We stayed 2 min away and the room was extremely clean and sanitary and same price range. Sad to see as all other places we stayed in the area were clean and well kept. Beautiful building but in poor condition and dirty.

Hibiscus Cottages offered a quiet escape from the busyness of downtown Ubud, but it is just a short walk away. It is a value accommodation, so I recommend bringing your own towel. The sunrise view at the open breakfast area was amazing and overlooks the traditional architecture in a peaceful setting. The free breakfast was good with a very friendly cook. One thing to note is that it is a bit of an uneven walk from the car access road, so don’t plan on bringing a bunch of luggage. The character of the traditional Balinese style made up for any shortcomings.

This was a fantastic place to stay off the main path yet central to everything in Ubud. The rooms were clean, quiet cool, comfortable and well kept by staff. Daily breakfast was a treat along with the views from the rooftop. We stayed for eleven days here and cannot recommend it enough. The location (off Jl Bilsma) was exceptional and the Warung Gauri (a hidden gem of a restaurant) was literally at the end of the pathway. If you needed anything, wanted to go anywhere, or had questions to ask, the staff at the Hibiscus Cottages were kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive. We'd absolutely stay there again

The exterior of the property is beautifully landscaped and well kept.
My first room was on the ground floor and within 30 min of being in the room there were two enormous roaches in the bathroom.
I reached out to the owner who’d given me a what’s app number to reach him on as there is no “front desk staff” I messaged and called and it was 4 hours before I received a response. They removed the roaches but more soon came. I messaged and called and messaged and called. After a sleepless night I was moved upstairs. Here there were no further issues with roaches but there were still lots of ants in the room as were downstairs. I can handle ants.
Rooms were “cleaned” daily but there were cobwebs above door in latticework and on ceiling in second room. First room bathroom also smelled strongly of urine. Second room occasionally smelled like cigarette smoke so I’m assuming someone on property was smoking and it came in through the windows that don’t seal. Owner was friendly as was his son. I didn’t eat here at all. No spa, restaurant or laundry on property but there are some in walking distance. Room not soundproof at all. For the price it was okay but I wouldn’t stay here again.

Loved it!

We had a lovely stay at Hibiscus Cottages. The rooms were quite spacious and had traditional Balinese architecture features which was lovely! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and are happy to help however they can. One day I was feeling a bit ill and was offered all kinds of remedies, they really care about you here. One very minor issue was that the bathroom could get a bit of a damp smell, but that was very easily rectified by opening a window during the day and leaving wet towels on the drying rack provided outside rather than in the bathroom- it was not really an issue for us once we did these things. Overall we had a lovely stay, surrounded by beautiful gardens, and even had a visit from the neighbouring cats which I adored. I would highly recommend staying here, we felt it was fantastic value for money, great location, and super friendly staff. Thank You! 🙏

My first experience in Bali started with Hibiscus Cottages where I spent five days. It is an absolutely special place which is owned and run by a Balinese family that take care of the place and the guests as their own home. So traditionally Balinese in everything that you cannot take it for anything else you already know. The room was very spacious, the bed perfect to sleep after a whole day walking around. The bathtub is huge that you can almost swim in it. The little terrace outside is so charming (I chose a ground floor room) with all the plants and flowers right there with the morning butterflies dancing and all the birds chirping. The breakfast is simple but excellent. Everything fresh and cooked on the spot by Made. Everybody is so welcoming, so warm and helpful yet so respectful for your privacy. It is also withdrawn from the noise of the town but within walking distance from shopping, restaurants, Sacred Monkey Forest, etc. Yes, if I can go back, I will definitely stay there. Thank you all.

During my 17 day trip, I stayed in seven properties in four coutries. This is the worst accommodation I chose. The day I reached there was no electricity at this proprty. It was a most difficulty walking I had to do for 200 meters in criss-cross narrow foot path, just a meter wide. by the side of paddy fields in pitch darkness.God saved me from falling and getting injured in darkness. The property owner had no excuse for not keeping at least a candle at the entry point, which I was not sure, in the darkness. All this despite informing them that my flight will reach Bali at & PM and I will reach later after 35 KM road journey. Other arrangements in the hotel was just OK, not meriting any good appreciation. Sure, I will not choose this property again.

This place is nice and quiet and good value for the price.

We were checked in in a room that was clearly not the one we booked, they changed us again the next night but be aware that the room you book is not going to be necessarily the room you get.
The owner is a character, you either like or hate him, we would stay again to hang out with him :)
Breakfast is top notch, not a lot of selection but everything was delicious.

Traditional Balinese Cottages

We stayed 10 days in June this year. We were gathering for a family wedding. The location is absolutely super. You are a short walk from the markets and town centre in one direction, the Monkey Forest in another and the gorge and ridge walk in a third. However, you are set back from the main thoroughfare, so it is really quiet and you get a good night's sleep. The accommodation is in a court of traditional Balinese cottages. Excellent value for money. The properties are spotless and well maintained but each cottage varies a bit, so some are better appointed than others. Breakfast is lovely served on a beautiful open, elevated verandah. The local thoroughfare, Jalan Bisma is delightful convenient and has all the amenities that you need.

It was ok

It wasn't bad, but just ok. Pros: The breakfast is nice and it's a good location to walk to the town center. It's very close to restaurants and spas. The rooftop view is nice and it isn't on the main road so pretty quiet. My room only had a ceiling fan, but it wasn't hot and was fine. Cons: The room looked dated. The bed sheets were really thin and worn. No soap/shampoo. Also, it's Balinese style so there's holes through the roof for air flow and when it rains at night, the bathroom floor is all wet in the morning. Also, there was no hot water for the shower the entire 5 nights I was there.

Beautiful property, but quite a few issues

This property is extremely well appointed. The rooms are really beautiful, and the bed was super comfy. The gentleman who checked me in was quite nice. The day I stayed there, the wifi was down all day which was pretty irritating as I'd hoped to do some work in the night and be able to contact my loved ones. As a solo female traveler, this is really important to me. The rooms were kind of spartan too. There were nice fluffy towels, but nothing else, not even hand soap or bottled water (which was promised in my reservation). This is all available in similarly priced hotels in Ubud. Finally, I would NOT recommend the location for solo travelers, especially women. It's off a side walk, off a side street, off another side street. When you're walking home alone at night, you go through the middle of a rice field so everyone in the surrounding area can see that you're by yourself. Additionally, there was no staff around after about 6 o'clock, so anyone could walk right in to the property. It made me feel so unsafe that I checked in to another hotel for the rest of my stay in Ubud. This hotel is beautiful, but it could use better management.

wonderful Traditional Balanese stay

Highly recommended. This room was a bit hard to find. It is off a street along several walkways and across a rice field. The rooms are scattered in several buildings, all with private porches and outside exits. They have amazingly carver entrance doors and doors to the bath. It is as if you were invited to someone's private upscale home/palace in Bali. The breakfast was served on the roof/ 4th floor of one building with amazing views of the area. The proprietor was a terrific gentleman, who can help you with any local experiences, drivers, shows, that you would want to see. The home/ gest stay, is located walking distance to the monkey forest, shopping, great restaurants, a local temple, a local art museum, and Lily's massage, don't miss that. Between $8 and $13 USD for a terrific massage in a beautiful facility. Anyway, Hibiscus Cottage is a very unique stay that shouldn't be missed. You will question your choice toting your luggage to the stay, but quickly congratulate yourself on a terrific choice of a room.

Hidden gem in Ubud

Our stay in Hibiscus Cottages was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast in the hotel every morning, and the staff helped us arrange local tours and drivers.

The hotel is a bit hidden from the main roads (you have to walk 2 or 3 blocks) into a rice paddy, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise! (amazing views without the noise of the main road in Ubud).

Nice 2 nights stay at Hibiscus Cottages, Deluxe Double Room. Pros: Spacious room, good wifi connection, visibly clean rooms and bathroom, and friendly staff. Nice breakfast at terrace with a great rice field view. Calm and peaceful location. Walking distance to Ubud palace and a lot of cafes and restaurants.
Cons: Bed sheets were not that clean. The last morning, we woke up to water on the floor around our bed. The staff quickly responded though and cleaned it for us. They said, it was the rain water from previous night which seeped in from the big windows (really!!!). Ensure you buy water to drink from the nearby mart. We got like 2, 1.5L bottles.

The people who run this place are sweet and helpful. the breakfast on the rooftop is a beautiful and breezy way to start the day and the food is awesome! try the green pancake! 2 quick tips - it's helpful to have a phone/ flashlight if you're returning at night, since the short walk from the main road be get quite dark. also, just a tip - hotels.com allows you to pay by credit card directly or by cash once you get to the hotel - if you don't have a particular preference, it's really helpful for this family run business if you pay in cash on-site. wish I would have known!

two nights in ubud

We stayed for two nights in Ubud in a Superior Room. It was spacious and clean with air conditioning and nice bathroom (shower and tub). The location was wonderful within walking distance the Monkey Forest and Ubud Market but also quiet and slightly removed from street. The breakfast on the rooftop was great!

Quiet and comfy accommodation.

Stayed here late July 2016 for 7 days.

Excellent accommodation in quiet location, but within easy walking distance to Ubud 'centre'.

Stunning views from rooftop eating area overlookking Ubud and Mount Agung in distance. Get up early to see beautiful sunrise.

But most of all what makes the stay at Hibiscus Cottages is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff and owner: thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Gorgeous little hotel. Our room was huge and very comfortable, quiet, well-appointed. Bathroom was luxurious. Breakfast was delicious, view from the rooftop terrace stunning. Jalan Bisma is a bit off the main drag, but still very walkable to everything. NB: This hotel is *not* right on the road - it's a short (3 min) walk down a paved path through the rice paddy, not directly accessible by car. Lovely setting, but a bit hard to find after dark when we first arrived. Wifi spotty in the room. Would absolutely go back.

Paradise in Ubud

My wife and I both loved our 5 night stay at Hibiscus Cottages in Ubud and cannot say enough kind words about the owners. The location is great - just a short walk from the main street but far enough away from all of the hustle and bustle to be able to relax. The building and rooms are very charming with ample space and well decorated. The breakfast pancakes were delicious and with lovely views over the rice paddies while we ate. But the best feature of this hotel is the owner, Balon, who really went out of his way to make our stay extra special - firstly in helping us plan our activities and organize drivers (all of whom were extremely competent and gave really first class service), and secondly to help my wife organize a session to dress up in traditional Balinese costume. Balon - thank you so much for your wonderful energy and tireless service!!! We hope to come back to Ubud one day soon :)

Quiet place that's close to all the major spots

Hibiscus Cottages is tucked amidst paddy fields in a quiet neighbourhood of Ubud. While you can relax and take in the calm in it's tranquil environs; the hustle and bustle of Ubud is just a pleasant walk away.
The cottages are built in Balinese style and the rooms are clean and well maintained. The bed linen is clean and the towels feel clean and smell fresh.
For me, the breakfast was one of the highlights - Balinese pancakes, traditional Bali coffee, omelette with vegetables (this was so good that we called for a second helping).
The staff is courteous - like most places in Bali.
You can watch the sunrise and subset from here - is what the signpost claims - we weren't able to try this though.
The owner also organizes trips to tourist places in Bali including Gili if you ask him to.
It is best that you give them a reminder call a day before / on the day of your check in. This will ensure that everything in your room is ready before you arrive.

Simple but nice and very friendly

I spent 6 nights here. I chose the standard room. The room was clean and tidy but it was a bit old fashioned.
There was no TV or aircon and that suited me fine. There were some openings on the top of all windows and you got fresh air during the night.
The staff are very helpful and accomodating and breakfast on the rooftop was very pleasant. It is a good spot to catch the sunset and sunrise.
I did see the \"nicer\" rooms and they definitely are modern and much nicer than my modest one, but I had no complaints.
The only thing that bothered me is that the hot water took a while to come out and I felt guilty about all the wasted water.

Quiet and peaceful

Beautiful and tucked back a bit from the noisy main streets of Ubud. The staff was incredibly nice, and everyone made an effort to say hello to me and ask how my day was and if I needed anything. Perfect location for walking to all the major spots near the palace, and maybe a 15-20 min walk from the monkey forest. Breakfast was delicious.

Not a whole lot going on at the cottages, but that was perfect for me. I would wake up, have breakfast, and then head out every day to explore. I'd come home to a clean room and quiet neighbors.

Did I mention the views were great, too? Highly recommend.

Hibiscus - a great little hotel

A simple but lovely hotel situated in a quiet and pretty set of ricefields in the centre of town, onlya 10 min walk from most of the \"action\".The room / apartment was spacious and clean with copious amounts of hot water. Bed super king-sized and very comfortable.Staff very friendly and helpful. Best was breakfast on the rooftop terrace - probably the best view in Ubud!

Woke up to birds each day- peaceful, authentic

This is as close to the \"authentic cottage\" experience as I was willing to get. While I look fondly at my time at this hotel and had a perfectly fine stay, I would just note that it doesn't have windows that close - a mosquito net serves the purpose of keeping bugs off you while you sleep. Furthermore, the sheets were clean, but the room otherwise was in need of a good deep-clean. No toiletries were provided (so had to buy soap from the local Circle K). If you know that you're getting a lovely cottage that's geared to being \"authentic,\" this is a great place in a perfect (quiet) part of downtown Ubud. Breakfast was good - the view from the rooftop was amazing. This is not a place for handicapped individuals - there's no way they'd manage to get around.

Hibiscus Cottages - Nice place!

I had a great eight night stay in a superior room. Hibiscus cottages is set in the middle of rice fields a pleasant 15 minute walk from the market and restaurants of central Ubud. The staff are very friendly, this is an excellent place to relax.
My room was large, clean, and spacious, the breakfast was very nice, wifi was a bit patchy but good enough for e-mail and slow surfing.
This was my second visit to Hibiscus Cottages, I intend to return

Very special hotel

I booked this hotel after much searching on the internet due to its closeness to town and it's whimsical name:) I booked it for my husband who was wearied by Jakarta and he was very pleasantly surprised by the prettiness of the hotel and thev excellent service and kindness of the owners.He said the breakfast on the rooftop of the fourth floor was very beautiful as it had a beautiful open view on the rice fields of Ubud.the owners son Wayan went to extra trouble for me to place flowers in my husband's room for me on special request and booked a volcano trek for my husband as well over the phone prior his arrival.He also took my husband touring on his motorbike.
the Hotel itself was clean and authentic design .the only downside was the spotty internet connection.it worked well enough though to send messages though .
It was a thoroughly enjoyable stay for my husband .Thank you!!

Hibiscus Cottage, Ubud

While the room is spacious and with very nice and serene surroundings, what was most surprising is that this guesthouse does not provide any soap, shower gel, etc.. . and we not notified of this. When we booked under hotel.com it was stated amenities include toiletries but when we asked the hotel staff they said it only include toilet paper and towels. We stayed for 2 nights and towels were not changed as well. I think basic amenities like a bar of soap or shower gel should be provided.

Tranquil haven in the heart of Ubud

This place is just brilliant! Tucked away in a rice paddy where the sounds of frogs chirping lulled us to sleep at night, we were just a two minute walk to downtown Ubud - all the sights are right there. A one minute walk took us to a couple of really nice restaurants, including a great pizza place. The location meant that we could easily pop back for a quiet reprieve from the noise and sensory overload of sightseeing for some quiet reflection time or a nap before heading back out. The room was lovely - simple and Balinese in style but very comfortable with a lovely outlook onto a tropical garden. The private patio looking onto this garden was a really special place to chill out after sight seeing and shopping. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was incredible - gorgeous pancakes!

Scenic location amidst paddy fields.

We had taken the suite which was bright and spacious, with a king size bed and sofa. A decent breakfast is served on the charming terrace with tea/coffee available round the clock. The location is off the main road which is a short walk away. The last stretch to the hotel thru paddy fields and narrow passages is not suitable for any one with heavy luggage or walking problems. No toiletries are provided and neither are drinking water or coffee maker.
Laundry facilities are reasonable.

Great for what you pay for

This place is an expensive, great place to stay. It's traditional with an awesome terrace on the 4th floor. You can get tea, coffee, and water there at any time! Breakfast is also served there; it's delicious. You can choose from egg dishes and pancakes (more like crepes). It's served with fruit or fruit juice and tea/coffee.

The rooms are clean, but remember, you get what you pay for... don't expect hotel standards. There were geckos I'm our room, as well as some cockroaches in my sisters room. No air conditioner; just a ceiling fan. We went I'm November, and going to sleep was difficult due to the heat. Throughout the night, though, it cooled down.

As far as location, it was a two minute walk to the main road with shops and restaurants; 10 minute walk to monkey forest; 30 minute walk to yoga barn; and less than 10 minute walk to the beginning of the trail ridge trek (from there, it's a short 2km to rice paddies).

Also, it was my sisters birthday, so they arranged flowers and treats in her room. It was very sweet!

I would definitely recrecommend this place!!

Bali Experience

Hibiscus Cottage provided a glimpse of Balinese daily life which I found charming and added enormously to my stay in Bali. It was family run with additional staff everyone was extremely helpful & happy to share local knowledge, customs & ideas . The breakfast terrace gave breathtaking views across a wide vista extending to the mountains on a clear day. Breakfast was delicious cooked to order. available earlier if required.

nice place!

we stayed here for two nights. We loved the breakfast the most. the breakfast was served on the top floor of one of the cottage, where we can see a nice view of surrounding rice fields and the town. we had a nice breath there during a day time, sitting and relaxing at the cafe. the breakfast was tasty. I liked the veggie omelet in Indonesian style. the room was very spacious and nice for the price. the location is a little bit far from places like Monkey forest, but close enough for the palace and the market. I actually liked that this place was located off the main streets, which are always congested with cars, motorcycles and people.

Quiet retreat just a walk away from town

I enjoyed this hotel, despite the fact that there is no television or stereo to enjoy at bedtime. The staff is great and breakfast was perfectly delicious. It is within walking distance to town, as well as Monkey Forest and other sites. This place is very simple, with no pool or fancy upgrades, but the staff make up for it. And, it gives you time to unwind. I would stay here again.

Great Hotel

This family-run hotel was very comfortable and conveniently close to the center of town, but not too close, so that it was nice and quiet. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast on the rooftop was one of the perks. I enjoyed the family feel the place had. I got to meet a few people at breakfast, and it seemed to unanimous. The people were all very friendly and were happy to stay there as well.
