Kun Kun is an oasis of peace and quiet nestled in very busy down town Ubud. The green rice field, the fish ponds and the resident duck are lovely to see each day, the pool with frangipanni flowers falling in it, is paradise and the rooms are very well cared for and cleaned each day. The staff are fun and friendly and were the highlight of our stay. The upstairs room that overlooks the rice paddy is beautiful but it can be hard work getting up and down those stairs multiple times are day, so a downstairs room around the pool might be better if you are not super fit.

Huone oli kaikkinensa ok. Vähän ehkä kaipaisi uudistusta, mutta muuten siisti ja tilava. Parveke oli unelma riisipelloille päin.

Hyvä sijainti ja hiljainen, vaikka vilkas tie menikin vieressä.

I’ve stayed here three times now, over a period of about 15 years. It’s located right off a main street with lots of restaurants and small shops, but the rooms overlook a rice field. Quiet and beautiful. Staff is very attentive and the place is immaculate. Great value for money. I highly recommend.

Really peaceful accommodation in a great location minutes from all you’d want to visit in Ubud. All staff were really friendly. Breakfast very tasty as long as you like the one breakfast served each day which we did! It is not a modern hotel but you do feel like you are staying in Bali

Noisy if you get the wrong room

Was put in a field facing room on the ground floor, not much privacy from passers by and staff and kept up at night by hundreds of ducks quacking in the field outside since the doors/windows provided little sound proofing. The bathroom was a quite run down and hot water was scarce. The bed was huge and comfy, however, and the staff and breakfast were lovely.

Comfy alongside rice fields in the middle of Ubud

Lovely guesthouse in a perfect location for Ubud. The pool is great on a hot day and I enjoyed the changing mains for breakfast each day. The staff were always obliging and constantly cleaning!

Only downside was that the water wasn't quite hot enough.

Good small hotel ith pool in central ubud.

This hotel is small and friendly and has a lovely pool. It is just behind Atman Nourish Kafe which is very easy to find and is along a quiet lane, some rooms have views of rice paddies. I didn’t try the breakfast. It is on the same street as the supermarket where you are dropped if you come to ubud by mini van from Padangbai and very close to everything. The rooms are OK but could definitely do with updating whereas the pool area is charming.

Great location with awesome view

Apart from the wifi and shower being a little weak, being very close to nature (ducks, frogs, dogs? making noises all day/night long) makes up to the isolation from the city life.

Would be able to stay in the facilities whole day without any problem!

Oh, and the facilities survived the 5 Aug earthquake too!

excellant place to stay for a family vacation

it was great. it has both pro and cons. first positives.. excellant location . in heart of ubud. relatively big rooms with nice view of rice fields. fairly ok breakfast. owner and his family are very nice people. negatives include limited breakfast. only eggs and fruit which is ok for couple of days but if you need longer stay then obviously you need more variety. parking is only for scooter, m cycle. if you have rented a car like we did, it will be a problem.

Loved it

I really enjoyed my 2 night stay. I had room #1 on the 3rd (top) floor which had a lovely private balcony and views over the rice field. My bed was comfy and the room a good size. The quaintness of the hotel was exactly what I was looking for as I just wanted to relax and soak up the Ubud atmosphere. Being down an alleyway meant it was quiet and away from the hussle and bussle. The breakfast was perfect for me and included a large plate of fruit, coffee and on one day a toasted banana and honey sandwich and the other day an omelet. All delicious. The pool area was lovely. The staff were friendly. It is located in an alley almost opposite Kafe restaurant. I had no hot water during my stay and I assumed it wasn't included - however when I looked at the hotel website when I got home it says it is included so my fault for not following up while there. I was on my own and felt very safe. I would stay here again.

Kunang-Kunang Guesthouse was ok

Would recommend this hotel as its close to attractions and is comfortable enough
the fresh daily tea was lovely although breakfast could have been better
there was a wasp nest in the curtains which we showed them and they said they would deal with that when we left (completed our stay at the guesthouse)
the sheets were not changed and the bed remade with clearly dirty sheets
shampoo and body wash was not replaced when required
the toilet paper was not replaced and we had to ask for another roll of toilet paper every day of our stay (total of 5 day stay) - really not a good look for your guesthouse!
bath sheets would be a good addition to the 'little' towels that were provided
Notifying the staff of a loose leaking fitting was not a priority so we fixed the vanity faucet that was loose (and leaking onto the floor) it required tightening of the nut securing the tapware to the vanity top - general maintenance should be a priority to ensure the comfort of the guests - we saved the staff from having to clean up, repair and resolve this issue - however we were on holiday!

I ❤️ Kunang-Kunang Guesthouse

The room is very clean, the AC is working perfect, the swimming pool is nice, the bed is VERY comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only thing bookers need know is that breakfast menu is fixed but it changes everyday :) not to worry tho, if you don't like what they offer - across the street there's a wonderful breakfast-lunch-dinner spot that offer gluten free & vegan foods.

Do know that Ubud is for retreating from busy daily life, there's no TV in the room - but the room is very spacious that you can do yoga in your own room ❤️

I hope this helps booker to get a general idea what they want to book when in Ubud. Namaste.

My wallet was stolen from my locked room whilst I was sleeping on the last night before I left my last night form my room whilst I was sleeping
I had locked the door and it was next to me on the beside table
It was ripped and torn open...all my money and cards...drivers licence and all my identity was taken
I have been left penniless...and have been unable to complete my holiday...couldnt rent a car ...couldnt see my family and was left without the ability to function
I worked hard all year to save up for a few days peace and tranquility yet someone criminally violated my personal space TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE

if it was staff who I certainly suggest ...........please know that I will trash your facilities to the max to all my friends back home and will and suggest not to go to Ubud & Bali alone as they obviously view mature aged women targets and easy prey
Disgusted that someone would do this while I was sleeping!!
I will never go back!

Beautiful Gem in a Central Location

After much searching for a hotel/guesthouse in Ubud, I decided on Kunang-Kunang as it was \"located centrally\" and I didn't want the hassle of moving in taxis or shuttles when I am a single female traveler. I wanted to be near cafes and shops for handiness sake.

The staff were super! Could not do enough for you, left me to my yoga training and back to the airport. I cannot say enough nice complements about the boys there. <3

I stayed twice at this guesthouse, for 4 nights when I arrived and 2 nights before leaving. At the end of my yoga training I was tired and the easiest thing was to book the same place again. This tells you a lot that I actually went back!

It is very centrally located, the streets are safe if you a single female traveler (though have some common sense!), the staff are so nice and helpful, I cannot thank them enough for making my stay so easy and stress free.

First room was Superior Rice Paddy view with AC: was a lovely big room, fantastic view of the rice field. Its beside the front desk so you do get a bit of noise.

Second room was Standard room with AC: located at the back of the hotel, had a fan and AC. Looked over the pool. Was a lot quieter than the first room.

Fresh towel and room tidied every day.

Some local walking times:
Yoga Barn: 10 mins
Coco Supermarket (beside Yoga Barn): 10 mins
The Market itself: 20 mins long way, 15 short way via Tasku
Monkey Forest: 15-20 mins
Ubud Palace: 15 mins
Post Office: 30 mins

good choice for a mid-range accommodation in ubud

Excellent location, and the pool although small was a plus... It would be better if they can serve breakfast to us in our veranda by request. The room where we stayed at was fan which i thought was ok, but bali can be incredibly hot on afternoons (even in november) so perhaps they can make all rooms with aircon. some of the rooms here have aircon and i recommend anyone to book that. This place is 15 mins walk away fr yogabarn yoga studio.

Great location, average hotel

Perfect location to see everything you need to in Ubud. The hotel was adequate for what we needed it for, just somewhere to sleep. The hotel organised a trip up to trek mount Batur which is well worth the early start-not sure if we got the best deal with the hotel though. Pool was a nice size as seemed like just the two of us using the hotel at the time.

Vintage gem in fabulous location.

A delightful, authentic and cheerful guesthouse with 'vintage' charm. Everything seems to be exactly as it was when built, no corporate bathroom upgrades, but it has its own special vibe.
Rooms have what you nedd and are comfortable, the high ceilings and design make them an oasis of cool, even without a/c.
The pool and gardens are bijou and gorgous.. its a real treat to walk up the little laneway with rice feilds on one side.
Breakfast wasn!t much to speak of, but its available. There are numerous good warungs and restraunts in easy reach.
The location and views, if you have upper floors, are very good...you know you're in Bali in this little gem..and that's a wonderful thing!

Lovely pool & garden. Woke up to a flask of hot tea each morning, lovely to sit on the balcony drinking tea while watching the sun come up.
Easy walk to the Ubud markets & monkey forest.

Nice place and pool, but byo towels and breakfast

The hotel itself is quite unique and authentic. I had an old duvet cover as my bottom sheet and a torn duvet on top. My mums room had nice clean sheets though. The towels were pretty threadbare and very old, didn't actually dry anything.
The pool is great - deep and lovely and the surroundings are beautiful.
I would not recommend the breakfast if you enjoy breakfast, but it might have just been bad luck. We didn't try it the second morning.

Superior room, ground floor requested and given. Overlooking the rice fields was just perfect. Surprisingly quiet as just off a main road. Pool was very clean with enough sunbeds. All staff ready to respond to any request, and do everything to make your stay a good one. No kettle, but a flask of black tea is left daily. A request for a refill of boiling water was always fulfilled. Outdoor patio tiles are swept and washed early morning and night, in addition to daily clean. Easy access to pool via steps, not ladders. Pool towels available on request. Lovely peaceful 5 night stay. Staff walk their scooters in early morning and at night, to ensure your peace and quiet is not disturbed, a nice touch.

Ok hotel with a nice pool

From outside the hotel is really nice, especially the pool. From the inside the room was a bit worn, but ok if you think about the quite low price. I did stay only for one night but then the customer service was terrible. To give an example: on the day of the check out I left early for a meditation class and one of the workers run after me and felt me feel like a criminal when I explained that I will be back before the check out. I think they were mostly interested to get my money. The Wi-Fi did not really work in my room. The breakfast was good though.
