2/10 Poor

I stayed here one week ago and it was absolutely horrific! Inside the bedroom room, I found stains on the pillows, bed comforter, and chairs. I also found aunts and many mosquitos. Outside, the pool was green and murky. A caution sign was posted for no swimming. It seemed like there was no one on the property and they hadn't not taken care of their hotel in over a year.

The property was very calm & peaceful yet near to the market. The restaurant served excellent food. The basic requirements either were taken care of by the hotel or were available in the shops just across the road. The staff were extremely helpful & very happy doing that. They treat you like your family. Ari & Mandy were outstanding in their service. To top it the property is artistically decorated. Highly recommended !!!

Love that it was quiet, secluded, peaceful. Private pool was a plus. Disappointed with no warungs nearby. Restaurants were very limited. Room was lovely but tv didn't work, shower over the bath was very dangerous as you had to clamber over the high side and hang onto the bath, no handrails, and slippery underfoot. Property is a little bit on the tired side and could do with a bit of an uplift and it would be absolutely wonderful. Staff were very helpful. Much appreciated. Would def stay here again.

Good if you want a quiet place
Very quiet and tranquil place. But rooms are dated and dirty. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. There is water seepage in the room when it rains. Rooms have a musty , damp smell. But the people are very nice and helpful. Not many shopping and food options nearby. Quite far from the central area of ubud- not a problem if you have a motor bike. It is located in a very small side street- cars cannot come to the front of the hotel. This becomes a problem during check in and check out with luggage. Water dispenser provided with every room.

6/10 Good

The room was spacious and fit with amenities that wouldve made it a really nice place to stay, if not for the derelict state of everything in and out of the room. The bathtub exists, but was dirty, stained and attempting to clear the dirt doesn't help cause it floats on the water as the water drains away in a trickle (due to what i assume is a clogged pipe). The cupboards are broken, worn and all the wooden furniture seems to have sawdust around (which suggests termites?). The kettle is caked in a layer of residue and most of the doors are missing handles, so you use the key to open and close the doors. Location was a little out of the way, google maps does not tell you there are 2 slopes between you and ubud town. If you discount all those and just want a sleep, it should still be fine. Staff were nice. I feel like this is one of those places that could have been a wonderful experience if only they'd bothered to maintain the place instead of letting it fall into ruins.

A welcome oasis from the hubbub of Ubud
I really liked the staff at the hotel and I liked my room. I hsd a large patio area outside my room and my room was near the pool which I swam in every day. The hotel is so peaceful and it is an oasis from the busy downtown of Ubud. There are some restaurants and convenience stores near the hotel and their is a laundry across the street. The roads are narrow and there are no sidewalks so walking is tricky. I appreciated having a tropical oasis to come home to at the end of the day. It was great to have the pool waiting for me and the staff are lovely and so helpful

Quirky property, a little out of town, that fits the Ubud vibe. Had a few issues, like no light in the bathroom for 2 days. Offered another room, after I had unpacked everything, which I declined as I thought it would be fixed the same day. Toiletries not marked up as to what was what. Coffee not replenished. No spoon, no creamer. Little things that are easily fixed, if the staff are properly focused. Overall a pleasant stay, but must try harder !

Old and dirty. Facilities broken or not properly working. The place needs to renovated. Most disappointing place I have stayed in Ubud. Photos on the website do not represent the current state of the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our 4 days at the Gajah Biru Bungalows. We had a fabulous top floor accommodation with roof and tree top views. Spacious is an understatement. We reclined on our broad verandah within meters of the cooling pool set amidst tropical greenery. Our large 4-poster bed looked almost small under the 5 meter high conical thatch roof. A walk-thru office area separated the lounge/bedroom from the sizeable bathroom with a tub you could practically do laps in. And it's QUIET: cars can't drive by the property. The courteous, friendly staff went out of their way to be helpful. And they are interesting and fun to talk with. They gave us a welcoming drink and a parting gift that we will treasure. The breakfast is filling and delicious. There's a spa on the grounds. We'd go back there in a heartbeat.

My oasis
I booked here for relaxation and it was just the ticket. If you're looking for a 5* resort then this isn't for you but instead you get a peaceful and charming hotel. I loved all the personal touches. They've put alot of thought into the decor. The owner invited me to a complimentary dinner which really touched me. The staff always had a smile and really wanted to make my stay a happy one. I was given a room to have a shower before my departure (after my check out time). Very impressed. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone treated me like a member of the family. Sunni and Surinder were great hosts. Hi to Mande and Gede.

We had amazing stay and here and didn't want to leave. Service was lovely and so helpful with pick up from airport, arranging day trip & spa on site services. Room lovely and spacious and calm setting but still not too far a walk or taxi from Ubud centre. We did not want to leave!

Beautiful rooms and verandahs. Spacious & comfortable. But needs TLC to combat aging. Gardens well kept have a quirky ambience from owners tin art pieces hanging here & there. Can't say enough about the staff who are so friendly and helpful. Lovely people. Food is nice. Free water wifi tv shuttle - all you could want.

a bit tricky to find yet what place in ubud isn;t? the place has a bit fubky vibe yet that is what sets it apart from other places. hospitality can't be beat. beyond welcoming. breakfast is at their restaurant across the gang,(alleyway) just excellent.. large space to call your own. travelers of all ages from all corners of the globe were staying at the quaint place, yet I would think the mature seasoned backbacker would find it most appealing. you feel more at home in a different culture rather than being a visitor.great experience staying at this property,you will leave feeling better than you arrived. go for it.

Delightful place to while away a few days.
Found this lovely villa through the Expedia site and couldn't have been more pleased. Our room was gorgeous with a lovely fish pond and day bed on the spacious verandah. And we could literally walk just a few metres to the pool. The staff were incredibly friendly and the bungalows were spit spot with quirky features made by local artisans. The restaurant is just a few metres up the road and their range and quality of food was very welcome. We would definitely stay at these bungalows a second time and will not hesitate to recommend to our family. Our room could have benefitted by a fan as the air conditioning was a bit difficult to moderate. While the villa's are to the north of the town, a courtesy bus was provided and we found the walk into town, through rice paddies, a lovely highlight.
