Daton House Near Bali Zoo Ubud Mitra RedDoorz

The only real positive for me was that the owners or managers were kind and friendly. Our room was at the back, far from the entrance, surrounded by woods without the nice view you might hope for. It was cheap, but I wasn’t prepared for what we found. The room felt moldy, moist, and damp as soon as we entered. The walls were cracking in several places. The bathroom, including the tub, was basically unusable. There was no holder for the toilet sprayer, so we had to leave it on the floor. I don’t know why other people’s photos look good, or if ours was the only room like this. The room seemed to have been swept for only a few minutes. Getting to it meant a long, difficult walk along a path, and we had to carry our own suitcases. There was a small kitchen with unwashed dishes we hadn’t used, and the provided water tasted strange, so I seriously doubted it was hygienic. Although it’s close to Bali zoo, the walk from our room to the lodge’s front gate was far and uphill. The lodge is on a small road, so we still had to walk to the main road, probably adding about 100m. From the first day, we found mosquitoes, lizards, and flies in the room. Frogs also came in from somewhere, which was horrifying, along with other insects I couldn’t identify.

Daton house is simple and authentic, and I’m so glad I stayed there with Sunatra and her family. They were warm and welcoming, and I’d happily return. You can hear geckos and cicadas singing around the place. They encouraged me to explore nearby: Gala silver's beautiful homemade silver jewelry, the local market, a reptile park, and Balinese dance shows in the morning or evening depending on the dance, including Kecak and fire dance. Ubud is not far away. Thank you for the welcome and your smiles. I hope to see you again 🌺🙏❣️

Great value for the money. The room is spacious and clean, with a bathtub and hot shower, all at an affordable price. That was plenty for me.

Could you share your WhatsApp number, pak Yan? I stayed there and still have my things at your store.
