We give full marks for: 1. The gardens and buildings (outside) which are in beautiful condition. The beautiful carved door to the room is amazing, as is the 4-poster Balinese bed, which was quite comfortable. The aircon worked well. 2. Breakfast is basic but is very tasty and always delivered hot. 3. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. 4. Beautifully quiet at night and the gardens are stunningly light in the evenings.
Needing improvement: 1. The bathroom is very very basic and the toilet seat was loose, and the floor tiles needed re-grouting. The handbasin is in the main room and the tap was very loose and it was really hard to get hot water. 2. There are no facilities for making hot drinks, not even any glasses. 3. There are no seats in the main room. 4.There is no small bar fridge to keep drinks cold. 5. Although it IS a B&B, there is no TV. 6. The pool has broken/cracked tiles on the bottom of the shallow end, and tiles missing which means you do need to be cautious using it.
Overall it is budget accomodation but with some work and a little investment in maintenance and repair could result in a stunning piece of accomodation that is very well situated in Ubud, an easy 5 minutes walk to the main centre.
