I guess, for Ketuts place, you have to evaluate differently. Ketuts place is built like a traditional home of Indonesia, with a really beautiful garden, a nice pool and a family, who lives with you inside of the area. Each house is built differently and has its own advantages, which makes it a unique experience. On the down side, to keep this place in good shape, it needs a lot of effort which doesn't work well at every place. Our room (Nr. 5) smelled very strong, so we bought a room refresher, which made the stay okay. But you clearly see the mold at the wall, which is probably because of the high humidity. A couple of fountains are not working and the pool loungers are not in the best conditions. Bringing all that together and comparing it to the price, I would say, it was a bit overpriced. We had a couple of accommodations in Indonesia for a similar price, which were in better conditions. But on the other hand you get a different experience, with an area behind the pool, that reminds me of a "lost place". If you are willing to give up a bit of luxury, It's quite a place to explore things. - Stuff very helpful/owner very friendly - 10min walk to the city center - food good, but a bit overpriced - pool clean - check in/check without problems.

Beautiful balinesian houses, great pool overlooking the jungle. The hosts were very kind and helpful. The food was amazing as well. I enjoyed my stay and felt very comfortable from the start. I would love to come back at some point.

The towels we got were very smelly. I assume it's due to the high moisture in the air. Clothes didn't dry either (in March, wet season, might be different in the dry season). Also, a hand towel and a bathroom mat would have been great. We missed these.

The whole place and both the view from the deluxe room to the green jungle was amazing. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place.

I felt the towels and linen were not adequately washed, clean. They smelt when wet. My bed was hard. I would like to know before hand on stairs as my knees arent the best. Would be great to have a small fridge in all rooms. Time for new mattresses

It is such a pretty place and well looked after! The staff The breakfast Being there

Our bed wasn't so comfortable.

Traditional Balinese property, intricately maintained and with lovely staff. Great location, a 10-15 minute walk to the Palace and Ubud markets, and a stones through from convenience stores and lovely restaurants. The property is also close to the silversmith, Wayan's Silver Class, where we made gorgeous rings.

I would give 10/10 if it wasn‘t for the stained bedsheets and weird (damp?) smelling towels.

The accomodation was lovely and quiet surrounded by lush jungle. All staff were extremely friendly and always helpful and accomodating. We especially loved the breakfast which was super delicious (you have to tell the day before and can choose between an indonesian, balinese or western set breakfast).

It’s a beautiful place. Staff are amazing. Walking distance to markets and monkey forest.

The road outside leading to centre

Wonderful traditional place and staff. Lovely pool and delicious breakfast,.. Unfortunately the road leading down to centre is very busy and pavements in very bad repair, that would be the only reason I would not return to this beautiful guest house.

Just a couple of minor things. The safe was broken so we had to use the key, which was a bit stressful as we didn’t want to lose it and not be able to open it. The two chairs in our room had a plastic covering which made them too sweaty to sit on.

We loved the homely feel and traditional Balinese architecture of Ketut’s. The staff were attentive and made us feel welcome. The room was spacious with good air con. The breakfast was tasty ( as was all the food we ate there) with several choices. We booked all our activities through reception - really enjoyed the cooking class. The banquet dinner, which included information on Balinese traditions was excellent. Short walk from the centre of Ubud and easy to get a Grab for longer distances.

Amazing architecture reflecting Balinese culture. Breakfast was amazing. The host made extra effort to explain a little bit about Balinese culture which we found very interesting. Definitely recommended.

A fantastic home stay experience. It was great to feel a part of the family compound while having your own private space. It looked out on a wonderful jungle ravine that was very peaceful and quiet.

I liked the traditional balinese style buildings and layout. Ketut was always keen to offer his help to any questions and his explanation of bali traditions at the local food banquet night was an excellent addition.

I like the staff the most, breakfast were really tasty. Maybe the room was a little too small but compare to money we paid it was really worth it

Small room - high charge for small requests like 15000 for some ice- and 50000 per day for kettle to boil water.- very expensive considering I’ve already paid for the room alot.

Authentic home stay-friendly staff

Booking excursions or massages was more expensive than walking a few minutes into town and booking from others.

The facade is misleading. Once you enter the premises you are surprised at how big and spacious the place is. Bonus - it is built in traditional Indonesian style. Our room overlooked the tropical forest. It was spacious, staff were gracious and helpful. The owners live at the place and are willing to arrange to multiple excursions. Didn't get to use their massage center but the location is spectacular. Very clean and their staff would immediately resolve issues. It included breakfast and that was a great bonus. Daughter fell ill and they called the Emergency Care who came and spent 2-3 hours with my daughter ensuring she fell well before they left. They examined, took blood and stool samples and gave her IV drip and medicines for 5 days. The emergency care team's lab assistant came quickly to pick up the samples and run the tests. Everything done professionally and competently by the female team of doctor and nurse. Breakfast is sumptuous

Stayed in December 2023

No drinking water supplied in large container to refill bottles- manager charged for bottles if more than 2 small ones per day per room. Not good. Charged for hot water- this a bit “stingy”. No thermos of hot water in rooms that didn’t have a kettle. A basic supply of some hot water would make a big difference. This is the norm in other guest houses I have stayed in in Bali.

No issues. Excellent swimming pool and location to eating area.

No complaints!

Hotel was a lovely traditional Balinese stay, staff and food were amazing. Facilities slightly basic but for the price it was great, and an amazing location.
