Good location close to all facilities. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok but be aware that you need to take only two principal plates from menu and fruits are extra always, the ginger tea it was very good. If you need to visit the neighborhood of Ubud like temples, cascades, rice plantations or others, ask Jiwa for a car as him nephew Maday have a good and nice car with 7 places. Internet was good there but you can take a sim card Telekom from airport which is not expensive and like this you have internet everywhere even if you travel out of Bali for example. You need to use Autan always during the evening when you are outside. I recommend this location in Ubud.

They never answer to the phone number or email provided by Booking before our arrival and even if we insist. Mosquito in the bathroom of room 08 as the net from small window there is broken and need to be replaced, also in front of the room on the terrace even if they add some anti mosquitos products.

jiwa’s house is a beautiful little home stay on a lane close to the centre of ubud. it’s a perfect little paradise away the hustle and bustle of the city. the breakfast served to your patio is delicious. the staff and family who run this little oasis are the loveliest of people. the room is large, the bed, huge and feels like its own little sanctuary. the grounds are very pretty with many plants and flowers. i stayed in a poolside room and loved it. there are a number of categories of rooms here many that are away from the lane and in their own little garden space. watching family members make their morning offerings around the property felt like a real honour. the pool was a refreshing welcome after a day of walking around the city. i really can’t say enough about how much i enjoyed my stay!

not at all a big deal to me, but housekeeping is spotty. you are always asked if you want your rooms cleaned and it’s done by a couple of hard working and really sweet young men from the family. let’s just say i think “boys” probably have a different approach to cleaning. 😅😁🙏 but if you ask for something to be done, they are quick to oblige. truly a most delightful family and i felt privileged to be there. 🙏 thank you jiwa and family! ❤️

Jiwa House: A Gem in Ubud! We, a group of 6, recently enjoyed a fantastic 4-night stay at Jiwa House. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the perfect location, spacious and clean rooms, and the friendly hospitality of Jiwa and his staff. The Positives: Prime Location: Jiwa House is ideally situated within easy walking distance of all the key attractions and amenities. Having a mini mart just a minute away was a huge bonus for grabbing any essentials. Comfortable Accommodation: The rooms were incredibly spacious and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail. Delicious Breakfast: The breakfast was a highlight! Delivered right to our door at our chosen time, it was a delightful and convenient way to start each day. Exceptional Hospitality: Jiwa and his staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. They were incredibly helpful in organizing activities and even provided transportation, making our explorations hassle-free. Areas for Improvement: Overall Impression: Despite the minor issue with linen changes, we had an absolutely wonderful experience at Jiwa House. The combination of a perfect location, comfortable accommodation, delicious breakfast, and outstanding hospitality made it an unforgettable stay. We would wholeheartedly recommend Jiwa House to anyone visiting Ubud and would definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

The only minor drawback was that the towels and sheets were not changed during our 4-night stay. While this wasn't a major issue, it would have been a nice touch for added freshness.

Really good place! Hardly recommended! The staff its super nice, we did a ubud tour with Yandel and It was really good! He also drive us to our Next destination and on the way stopping in really nice views, super nice people working there. Breakfast was very good, special mention to the banana pancakes...delicious. they make the room everyday and when you arrive after a long day its fresh and they give water also everyday. Ubud its a very busy and intense area and when you enter jiwas house its a peacefull place and quiet...with nice swimming pool...gardens..a little puppy.. stay here!

Nothing! Amazing

The family who owns the property is so kind and you feel very welcomed. The property has been in their family for generations so I was so happy to learn I was supporting a local business. The property is also gorgeous, a very nice retreat from the busy streets of Ubud. Rooms are extremely clean and very big. Nice AC, mosquito nets, and fast WiFi. Walking distance to several attractions (Ubud Palace, monkey forest, tons of restaurants). I highly recommend Jiwa’s house!

Nothing

I loved everything about this beautiful homestay. Large room, comfortable bed and pillows, exellent aircon, daily water, heaps of power points in the room, really hot water in the shower assistance with what to go and see, really nice pool (8m x 2.5m), yummy breakfast brought to your balcony. I was lucky enough to be in room 03, beautiful gardens throughout the property. And the family are warm and welcoming. Jiwa and Ketut, you have a wonderful family. And little Junior (the pug puppy).

Nothing. I loved everything about it.

Set right in the heart of Ubud, a family temple home. The family that run it are lovely, the accommodation is comfortable and surrounded by jungle and temple. Good breakfast bought to your room every morning and takeout breakfast prepared if you are touring early. Good wifi, aircon and comfortable bed. Lovely terrace with garden and outside kitchen. Good value for money, we had the basic room which was cheaper and did us just fine. Our friends opted for the more expensive room overlooking pool, had kettle, fridge, was bigger and included toiletries but double the price. Both options are nice and worth the money.

Jiwa was great. Our AC had a leaking issue, so we moved to another room for a couple of nights. The breakfast is just great! The pancakes were awesome. Really worth it!

There's a frog in an small pond right in front of the room...I think he is hidden inside a small fiber wall in the pond...he is LOUD. He goes on ALL NIGHT, extremely loud...I mean, it's like an alarm going off non stop. Someone needs to do something about it...move him to another area or something. We got zero sleep that night...I don't even eat animals, and I had all kinds of thoughts about what I could do to that frog! I didn't know a frog could be so loud!

Jiwas place is such a beautiful and peaceful traditional balinese living compound. I was planning to stay for one week but I ended up extending my stay for 11 days. Until I arrived, I didn't realize how centrally located jiwas place was. Everything was close by and convenient but it still was its own peaceful paradise. The staff were very kind and breakfast is also very good. The room was very large and nice. I really enjoyed my stay.

The bathroom looked 30 years old but that's probably typical thing here. My room was close to the street and I could hear street noise. If you're sensitive to noise, book the pool view room.

Nice room at the pool, clean & very comfy bed. Breakfast served on the verandah, overlooking the beautiful garden and pool. (Definitely worth the few extra dollars) Great location close to the hart of Ubud, yet very peacefull and quiet. Friendly staff & had a lovely visit from the little pug that lives there. All in all, an amazing place to stay!

Toilet seat was loose and not much pressure in the shower(which is sorta normal in Bali). Definitely don't let that hold you back though!
