Sania's House Bungalow

A place full of charm, in the middle of pedestrian streets, we are in paradise! Peaceful despite the atmosphere outside! Excellent value for money, I'm going back in 1 week! Really favorite

Where do i start? I will have nightmares about my stay here for a very long time! Rooms are filthy! Bathroom wasn't cleaned prior to us coming and the bedsheets that are supposed to be white are almost grey! We had no room service to make the beds each day (this wasn't an issue) however we received no towels or toilet roll throughout our whole stay! Had to go down and keep asking for towels at reception. There's a rooster right beside our room that literally makes noise all night, hardly got any sleep! Beds are uncomfortable! The grounds are gorgeous however I wish they put as much effort into cleaning the rooms as they do cleaning the gardens! Location is right beside street markets, that's the only plus!

In the price we included a 15-minute massage, it was not provided, beyond this the rooms are old with the paint peeling off, there are insects of all kinds including wasps that come out of the ceiling.
The shower did not have hot water, we had to ask for hot water. The toilet was leaking water, it was complained twice and nothing.
Finally, the cleaning left something to be desired, dirty towels and sheets, very dirty…
The only good thing is the location inside the ubud market.

Overall was a very bad experience staying here.

Pros:
1) Can experience rustic traditional Balinese house stay
2) Located in the main Ubud Street Market, so just step out and you are in the shopping street

Cons:
1) There is almost no security. The main door was not locked, even in late night and no guard/receptionist at night
2) There is no lift, so we have to climb stairs to all floors and the bungalows are having 2-3 floors
3) There are almost no helper boys to help take luggage to room, so we need to climb the stairs with our luggage and the staircase doesn't have support handles.
4) Reception and rooms don't have telecom phones. So we need to go to reception if anything needed.
5) No inhouse dining available, so no option to order paid food from within hotel if needed
6) Street becomes dark and empty after 7: 30pm, so it's totally dark and street has dogs at night
7) Cabs can't reach the hotel due to small street so we need to take luggage atleast 100-150mettes from Ubud main road to this place and then again carry luggage ourselves
8) Our room did not have a good flush and no jet or Sanitized tissue paper. So we had to get a bucket for bathroom
9) AC in our room was weak, it was just working and ventilating. It was not cooling.

We booked this hotel for 5 nights. We ended up only staying 1 night.
We urgently looked for another hotel.

Room, bathroom, toilet dirty, very dark and very humid.
No hot water in the hotel that day.

Unfriendly staff, only interested in their cell phone.

Air conditioning faulty.
The welcome massage does not exist, replaced by a bottle of water.

The only positive is
The location and the breakfast which is quite good.

I do not recommend for a stay of more than 1 night.

This accommodation was a horror. We had a cheaper room and our friends the deluxe version. For us it went down a few flights of stairs to a very dark and very dirty place to stay. I left all the lights on during the day because this room was such a hit on my mind. We had so much hair in the drain that the water wouldn't drain, the bins are small and never emptied. You have to ask for toilet paper and the rooms are not cleaned during the whole stay. The staff is mostly unfriendly and just wants to sell you rafting, scooters and the like.
The pool looks much nicer in the hotel pictures than it really is, ours was mostly green water.
The location was really good (very central) but you have to go through the market every time you leave the property and all the vendors there are begging you to look and buy something, so be aware of that.
By the way, our friends had a nicer room (brighter and with a balcony with a view) but there was no sign of cleanliness here either.

My daily question as to whether I could change rooms was always fobbed off with the fact that they were fully booked.

All in all not recommended. It really has to be changed in the service!

Beautiful exterior hotel and well located however unwelcoming staff, hotel with a lack of cleanliness, non-functional toilets, very damp bed linen. The breakfast remains good.
We had to ask for the welcome massage, it was brief and painful (foot massage). Small basin considered as a swimming pool. We left the hotel after only 1 night instead of 3, it didn't 'shock' the staff when told it was not 'good'. I do not recommend

Price quality is very good, excellent breakfast, the room was fine but not very clean, the power went out and when we arrived there was no internet. The bathroom was also covered, but the location was super close to everything, the pool was very refreshing and they gave us a welcome massage that was very good.

It was a very dirty room, dirty (yellow) towels and blankets. We had mould on the walls and three days no toilette. The stuff was very unpolite and if we complained about all the things, they offered us two SMALL bear. We would not recommend the hotel as you have a very unrelaxed and unkempt holiday. We were very lucky to leave the hotel after a few days.

Worst hotel experience. Great location, completely ruined. V v basic hotel. V bad layout of the entire property, extremely congested bad design. Rooms are extremely unmaintained. There might be free rooms that are good, but it's not clear on the website. V few staff. No phone in the room you have to go to the reception for request. Overall not good. There were great places around with a little more budget.

Very nice and beautiful hotel to stay in, location is perfect!
Staff is super friendly, helps you with motorbike rental, boat tickets/transfer to other islands and such, they serve breakfast of your choosing and at the time you like on your balcony.
One tip; if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs and a sleeping mask. The curtains are very thin so when the sun's up, it'll be bright right away. And the earplugs for the birds and rooster that start 'singing' loudly around 5am.
Water in the pool has a nice temperature

Fantastic feeling, like living in a temple. Ancient buildings, wooden doors, beautiful details. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast included (eggs/pancake with fruit salad and coffee). Had some minor problems with toilet (leaking), and only 1 electric socket inside the room (the second is on the balcony, which is inconvenient), but it’s not a big problem.

It's really good place for stay a few nights! Traditional style, big green garden, pool and breakfast.a few steps of the center Ubud.amazing hospitality.thank you so much for you host

This is the only place I will stay in Ubud. The staff is friendly and helpful, they feel like family. Upon entering you will be amazed at the beauty. It is located in the heart of Ubud market convenient for all of your needs within walking distance and if you do not drive motorbike the staff will gladly arrange transportation. The food is delicious, there is a variety of rooms to choose from, and a beautiful pool to enjoy. It is a peaceful Sanctuary that will make you feel at home whether you are here for business, or pleasure, you will find that everything this home stay offers will make you very happy. There are also options to get a massage here which is very nice. I wish I could give this place 10 Stars!

WiFi is terrible. One wall plug in a room. Solution. Buy the wallplug splitter in a local supermarket.and a simcard
The rest is just amazing. Flawless place.

4.7 stars. Literally the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. So beautiful and peaceful. You have to see it to believe it. It's like being in a temple. Wonderful staff. And you get a free 15 minute massage coupon on arrival. The WiFi connection is terrible - everything takes several minutes to load, so I end up using my local 4G. There are not enough wall sockets in the rooms (ONE socket in the entire room and one outside the room). Not all the rooms have aircon - we had to move rooms twice because of this, but it wasn't too much of an inconvenience because we don't have a lot of stuff. If you are really sensitive about insects in your room - the windows and doors don't seal properly in this place, so just bare that in mind. Breakfast included - pretty good but not enough for us so we always went out afterwards to grab some more food. Another positive is that it's right in the centre of the market, which we loved.

Beautiful place to stay in center of ubud where u ve access to everything that you need. Worth the price

Nice stay in Sania's House Bungalow. We have a nice stay in this place. The staff was very friendly.

A very good choice if you want to stay at the center of Ubud. It's inside the art market, so you must walk to reach it (but not too far away). The location is very strategic. The architecture and the interior is very Balinese. They have a massage service. It's not like a resort that usually has a wide green yard, but it has a small nice pool. If you get a room at the second or third floor, they only have a narrow stairs. Personally I like the upper room better because it felt more private. Every room has its own terrace to relax.

Couldn’t be happier with our stay for the price we paid. The location is very convenient, staff extremely friendly and the decor is magical. Our breakfast every morning was fresh and generous; fruits, a banana pancake, and tea/coffee. The staff are extremely helpful and the pool was clean. They also offer a cheap laundry service. I came back to Ubud and was looking for quality budget accomodation, I would happily stay here again.

This was a lovely hotel run by a nice family! We had an amazing view from our room (I suggest room #1), which was on the top floor with its own terrace. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was yummy. The pool was not super big but it was very refreshing. The hotel is in the heart of a street market, which was kind of fun but a bit troublesome coming in and out on your scooter. It is close to the activity in Ubud, so really, you could just walk. They have a puppy there right now who is super sweet too and makes for a nice greeting. This was my favourite hotel in Bali (stayed in 6 different places).
