Arik's Homestay

Dharma and the other staff were super friendly, helpful and relaxed. The price is really affordable, the location is convenient, and there’s a cute garden in front of my room. I looked at several other places in this price range before walking in and booking here. The air conditioning was great, and I liked the pink bathroom. My room didn’t get much natural light, and the fridge was noisy, though handy to have. There were some ants too. It’s not perfect, but it’s very cheap. Be kind and tip the staff. :)

I showed up without a reservation and walked in. The price was acceptable, the room was a good size, and the location is amazing. Hot showers and friendly staff were other positives. The room itself was clean, but the sheets and towels weren’t, and asking for replacements didn’t make a difference. They only clean the room if you specifically request it. It was very noisy, with some places having no windows, so bring earplugs. The bed wasn’t very comfortable.

Wayan and the rest of the staff were absolutely lovely and kind. We were disappointed to get a standard room after booking a delux, though the room was clean and very simple. The curtain needs a wash. Hot water was good, the bed was very comfortable, and the simple breakfast was delicious. The location is nice, and Mrs Runs warung next door is excellent. We heard you can use the spa across the road at a 10% discount, but only figured that out too late to try it. Ask Wayan about it.

Affordable and very basic, but the price to quality ratio is great. Breakfast is included, the rooms are always clean, and the staff are nice. You can get a double room with one bed or two. Some rooms have AC and every room has a fan. There’s no pool, bar or other amenities. The location is excellent for exploring Ubud.
