Yes , it was beautiful. Right near some great massages spots , shopping & vegan food options. I love the staff. ~ very sweet & accommodating. Beautiful garden view property as well. Great price - great experience, I’ll definitely be back again. I just checked into my new room & feel like I actually could’ve stayed there lol but ima be present and explore a different area so I’m not consumed to just one area on this motor bike lol - I’ll return for sure my next visit !

Very nice place and the staff are great.
What i recommend is the room windows are gapped and mosquitoes and others come in. The bathroom needs a good clean and the window above blows in soil. The breakfast needs to be a little more food.

Once that is fixed the place is superb.

I understand that the Hotel is very old and needs remodeling, however for them to only have very brown discolored previously white towels with brown spots on them and the bathrooms very dirty with leaks from the toilet, I think that is very poor

We have traveled to Bali six times. We split our four weeks between two hotels. Garden view is one of them. It is truly a tropical garden. And it’s just enough off the beaten track to enjoy a more relaxed pace away from the Ubud city center on monkey forest road.

Mixed feelings and had infestation after \"clean\"

So the pool, staff, private terrace and location are great.
However the room, bathroom and insect infestation which was on my second night when bed sheets were changed left me hating it, as I'm still itching.
There's no net over bed as advertised, no shower curtain, so poorly designed, no glass in bathroom window, 2 hot taps. Gap in door from terrace.

Breakfast was good. Entrance to monkey park is currently closed due to maintenance, so need to go down narrow, heavily polluted with scooters alleyway to access park. Not hotel fault, but good to advise. Monkeys really close, 1 jumped into hotel, which I enjoyed how close they were, but might put people off.
A/c unit makes a noise every 5 mins. Hear other guests at night, but also hear the monkeys too.
No kettle in room or TV.
Nice restaurant close by
I just wish they had a do not disturb sign, so that no one would have entered my room during my stay, which is how I got infestation in the bed sheets, as first night was fine

I loved this space - though it is dated, it feels like \"old Bali\". The garden view and pool were enjoyable and easy to relax in. Everything was very walkable.

The beds were a bit firm, but to some they would enjoy this.

Staff was friendly and the grounds are kept nicely.

Garden of Eden!

Wonderful garden of Eden! Really nice place, just by the Monkey forest, so you can expect some playful visitors now and then. Lovely, friendly and helpful staff and great breakfast. The only thing: the hotel has seen some better days. It could use some fresh paint on the rooms and some redecorating, just to make the room more useful - some bedside tables with light, changing of the shower (and cleaning it) also water is dripping all the time in the bathroom so the floor is constantly wet. Other than that, its really nice. mazing green garden!

Grden View property was beautiful and very well kept. This hotel is not fancy, but that doesn't mean it isn't wonderful. The grounds are very pretty, the pool is clean and cool, and the rooms are clean and both floors of the villa have a porch. What I enjoyed most about my stay was the staff. They went above and beyond making me and my daughters comfortable. Everyone there was kind and gracious and I am happy to call them my friends.

Nice lush location out of the city fray and bustle, but still in convenient walking distance. At night, the walk to town is a narrow path mostly unlit /dark and isolated along the monkey forest. Motorbikes use the path too. Can feel unnerving if alone. Bring a flashlight or charged phone!

The hotel is charming and very friendly staff. Bathrooms could use an update with a towel bar. Only soap and 2 towels provided. No bottled water provided after 1st night.

Amazing place. When we came to Bali this is what we wanted to experience. Hotel staff was so friendly and great. Every morning and evening the monkey's would pass through the hotel grounds to get to the sacred monkey forest. Easy walk to the center of Ubud, great restaurants just up the street. We would go back and stay longer.

The secret garden

Watch the movie.::: pretty much sums up these villas. A quiet little magical place. Lots of monkeys, lots of ceckos(make sure to keep your windows and doors closed because they will join you in your room!) the bathtub and shower head didn’t make the cut though. Water a little warmer than barely Luke warm./.... but overall I would stay there again.

Close to Monkey Forest in a quiet part of UBUD

Enjoyed being so close to Monkey Forest. Our beds were clean and comfy. Lovely pool and garden. Spacious wooden cottage. Light mildew on furniture .Arriving late at night so my first task was to try and clean off mildew. Bathroom outdoors was overlooked by windows which made me feel vulnerable particularly seeing man on ladder on nearby house being built. Loved being able to sit on balcony and listen to birds-seeing squirrels and the naughty monkeys.

It is a very good budget stay and I love the garden in front of my room - I meditated there every morning! The breakfast was alright but the staff are wonderful! Also, it is very conveniently located to Sacred Monkey Forest, only took me 7-8 minutes walk there. Overall, a nice stay there and very quiet at night - which is what I like the most.

Very nice mid range hotel

I had a budget to stick to and was super happy with the quality of the hotel for my price range.
I loved the balcony view, the comfortable bed, lovely staff, delicious breakfast and tranquil pool. Good wifi too. A really peaceful place to stay.
It's a little out of town, which I liked. The only drawback was the walk alongside the Monkey Forest (shared with many motorbikes) as the only way to walk into town.

Location & value

Cheap hotel in great location- love what's going on in this village. Hotel owned by local family which was nice. Don't expect a 4star standard- you're certainly not paying for it. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of places to eat nearby. Family rooms are great (there are steep stairs up to the upstairs beds though if you have very young children). Expedia site was very expensive compared to others so check.

Great place not far off the beaten path from the Monkey Forest. Being south of the Monkey Forest it is much quieter than being to the north. Great and helpful staff. Room is basic but comfortable. A great place to base camp out for seeing Ubud and the greater area. Definitely reccommended.

Very nice place with lots of character and close to Monkey Forest. Close enough to Ubud for everything you need. Great pool and pretty good breakfast. A kettle with coffee would have been a nice addition and more electrical outlets and a bit warmer hot water would have added to the comfort. But a very reasonable place and good value.

Lovely little hidden gem

I selected this hotel because of the described garden view and also it's close proximity to the sacred monkey forest, as well as the price. Completely blown away by what I got for the money I paid...
Location is a few hundred meters from the monkey forest, perfect.
At night it is completely silent except the relaxed chirping from the tropical garden.
I believe i had the best room on the first floor overlooking the pool and the rear garden.
Staff were so helpful and polite, I rented a brilliant moped from the hotel (so convenient) and did some riding around to the islands north and enjoyed the delightful lakes and rice paddies - great locations!
100% when I return to ubud I will come here...
For the price I paid I got such a lovely experience. Ok, so the bathroom could do with a spruce, the wifi wasn't great and no tv, however it forced me to embrace my surroundings and I thoroughly enjoyed it all.

I look forward to returning.

Location is prime.

Stayed for for a couple nights. It was super close to the Monkey Forest but far away enough that it was still quiet and not a ton of tourists/merchants bugging you. Just a quick walk through the forest and your right downtown. Loved the location, pool, and staff was great. Bring bug spray though, it's in a \"garden\" so the bugs tend to linger :)

Quiet hotel close to the Monkey Forest.

This hotel is amazing value for money if you want a quiet place located in wonderful gardens and are happy to accept that the rooms are a little \"tired\". The staff are really friendly and very helpful. The Monkey Forest is just a few hundred metres away (monkeys visit the garden daily). Parking is secure and easy. Restaurants and spas are just a few metres away from the main driveway to the hotel. Very little road noise. Very relaxing.

Pleasant traditional cottage for a great price

We would have like to stay a bit longer - Ubud is beautiful, filled with lots of great cafes etc.

We stayed here with our three primary aged children. It was great to be such a close walk to the monkey forest. The occasional monkey would appear on the roofs of this hotel too which the children thought was awesome.

Accommodation was very open to the elements with an open bathroom and lots of large ants but they did not bite so we happily co existed :) as went looking for a more traditional style accommodation. Our kids were very excited to stay in the upstairs room (though the stairs were very steep which put my heart in my mouth a few times). Great aircons both upstairs & down and a nice garden outlook balcony from upstairs.

A lovely breakfast was included too - tea/coffee, fresh fruits or smoothie plus either eggs, pancakes or toast.

Great location to central Ubud without the bustle.

A pleasant walk past the monkey forest will get you to centralubud and its streets of shops but the excellent Warungs and facilities nearby in the gentle manicured streets surrounding the Garden View mean you don't have to engage with the hordes of tourists in Ubud if you want to really relax.

Wade heads up this uber friendly family run place and can arrange everything for you for a fair price. The big garden and gorgeous pool area were great for the kids and they loved breakfast on the terrace. We stayed four nights.

Excellent Location

Away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud center, Garden View Cottages provided a quiet and pleasant environment. While the bathrooms and perhaps the linen could be updated, it was clean and doable. The greenery and peacefulness of the area was refreshing and serene. The place seems to attract a lot of families, but as a single person traveling, this was not a problem. Internet often had to be reset to get a connection, but if you are not dependent on the internet, then not a problem. A few hundred meters from the Monkey Forest allowed for a great daily walk via the forest into the city center. There are several other hotels along the street with great restaurants (Garden View only serves breakfast). The staff was always pleasant and helpful and I would recommend this place and return myself.

We loved Garden View Cottages.A simple and peaceful, friendly place on the edge of the monkey forest. Our room was spacious with a day bed outside, everything worked. The walk into monkey forest road was fun along the lane near the hotel, monkeys everywhere. Bring a torch if you are walking back after dark. The motorbike riders who share the path are very polite. The hotel staff were also friendly helpful and polite. The bungalow, indoor and outdoors was very clean. I think this place would be wonderful for families. No tv, but real monkeys just around the corner.
