Reviews of Umaya Ubud Villa 3 stars

Lovely friendly staff, very welcoming and helpful. Lovely plunge pool and comfortable beds. However, the bathrooms were very basic. Monkeys in the garden so keep your doors closed. Short cut through path to the main road at the side of the monkey forest so no need to go to the forest so many monkeys on the path

If you’re looking for luxuary accomodation this is not the place for you. Bathrooms were a lot more basic than we expected

It is located in a quiet area but close enough to walk to the main street. Spacious rooms. Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Clean bathroom and room. Lots of monkeys around to keep you entertained.

The open design of the bathroom meant noise from other guests travelled easily.

Good location for somewhere quieter, off the beaten track. Right next door to the monkey sanctuary. Staff are lovely and helpful. A few good restaurants/cafes a walk away.

If someone is next door to you, you can hear every conversation, thin walls. As most places in Indonesia, it is an open bathroom. I think because of the rural location it meant there was a LOT of bugs - something inside may have helped prevent this. Had an ant infestations but it got cleared away when asked.

Brilliant location right next to the Monkey Forest, a quick walk into town, and near fantastic restraunts and cafes. Lovely private garden with a pool. Comfortable bed, good aircon, and great indoor/outdoor bathroom. Complimentary breakfast too. The cheeky local monkeys would often swing by for a visit, but watch your snacks!

Beautiful and cosy villas in a quieter part of Ubud. We had one private pool villa and two (of the 4) rooms around the shared pool. Air conditioning is great and the rooms look like they do in the photos. Very clean. Having read several reviews I would agree that this is a place for nature lovers, you will be sharing your bathroom with geckos and frogs and the monkeys regularly come across the roof on their way to and from the forest. If you want a sterile tiled hotel bathroom this is not the place for you, but for us it was a wonderful experience to feel like we were really in the jungle. At no point were the monkeys and issue to using the pools. The little track through the monkey forest to the main part of Ubud is busy with scooters but it takes less than 5 minutes to get through and the scooters are all very considerate of pedestrians, at no point did we feel unsafe. There are some lovely places to eat just round the corner from Umaya, Alam pizzas were great and Lake Leke was a little oasis of peace away from the hustle and bustle. Great WiFi coverage should you need it. Breakfast at Umaya was plentiful (we had the pancakes) and good value for money and the staff are warm and welcoming and super helpful. I would definitely book here to stay in Ubud again.

Nothing.

Monkeys come to visit you at breakfast :-)

The location was really central to the main centre. The pool was clean and the rooms were spacious and well maintained.

It was quite a high price point for a shared pool area. Myself and two friends in separate rooms had no hot water during the afternoon and night.

We loved our stay, but keep in mind the private pool villas are not for everyone. It is not entirely private, with lots of gaps in the fences including the outdoor bathroom area. Keep in mind you are right next to the monkey forest so you may get monkey visitors, lots of lizards, frogs and ants in your room. The room was mostly clean though it gets dirty very fast. The staff were so lovely and breakfast was good. I love the area, it is close to nice cafes/ restaurants and there is a shortcut path that only takes 10 minutes to get to the sanctuary entry and many more restaurants etc. If you love wildlife and want to feel like you're living in the jungle this is the place for you.

So many gaps for lizards and ants to get into the bedroom. Some more privacy for the bathroom area would have been great. The latch to the private pool area is hard to keep closed, which can make it seem less private

Very charming small villa with unique atmosphere. The conception of the villas are nice, enough place for 4 person. The optional breakfast is served to the villa which is nice, staff is really helpful, laundry, cleaning, scooter - everything is handled by them upon request. Location is good, calm, quite close to center, right next to the monkey forest- which is both an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. Monkeys are often there, which is fun for the kids but you have to be cautious, if you leave doors open you'll be stolen:) In the early morning monkeys often do some activities on the roof which leads to early wakeups if you are not a deep sleeper.

The small road which leads to the center from the villa is very narrow and busy by the scooters - you have to be aware of that. Monkey and pros and cons as mentioned. Some refurbishment probably should be done but nothing serious.

Very spacious villa. Clean and comfortable

Nothing

The friendliest and most helpful staff, a great location, clean, beautiful surrounds. The staff really made the stay exceptional

Close to city center-15 minute walk.reasonably priced

Monkeys on the roof at night were noisy. And not sound insulated Could hear the family’s young children next door at midnight.

The staff were amazing

The monkeys - they were on our roof and this scared the kids and myself

Staff were the highlight of this stay. They were very helpful and happy :)

Cold showers, needs maintenance, not as ‘private’ as you would have hoped

Really nice staff, really good breakfast and Food in General, easy walking distance to Monkey Forest and Ubud Center.

Can be noisy during the day with all the Scooters using the shortcut.

Staff we're excellent very friendly and attentive

Coziness, good bed, pool, outside shower

Location, staff, pool, spacious rooms, breakfast.

The wi-fi was really spotty and weak.

Quiet, with a large living and separate bedroom Good ac and toiletries. Lots of options for breakfast. Nice private pool and large fridge! Very friendly staff!

A lot of ants and some mice droppings, but sitting area and toilet are semi open so to be expected, if you get room cleaned every day then it can be kept to a minimum

Staff is very kind
