Comfortable living room, well-equipped kitchen, multiple A/C units, friendly staff, in-house spa service, fast and reliable internet, big smart tv, nice view, clean pool, resident dog named "Potato"

The pool area could do with a few more amenities, there was only a hard wooden bench for sitting, no lounge chairs, no outdoor parasol or umbrella, limited towels. The breakfast was very good, but limited, we spent a week and the variety was lacking.

Our stay at Ubud Diary Villa from January 31 to February 3, 2025, was a truly serene and rejuvenating experience. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud town, this villa is surrounded by lush greenery, once a rice field, offering a peaceful escape into nature. Mornings greeted us with the soothing sounds of birds chirping as the sun rose, while nights came alive with the harmonious chorus of frogs, crickets, and geckos. The entire ambiance was tranquil, making it an ideal place to unwind and reconnect with nature. The villa itself is spacious and well-designed, featuring two comfortable bedrooms, a large living and dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with all necessary utensils and appliances. A washing machine is also provided—perfect for those staying longer or needing to do laundry. Every section of the villa was clean and well-maintained, enhancing the overall comfort of our stay. One of the highlights was the outstanding hospitality of the staff. They were friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. We highly recommend trying their in-villa spa and massage service, which was fabulous and conveniently arranged in the bedrooms with a portable massage bed. The outdoor swimming pool was another great feature—spacious and perfect for a refreshing swim throughout the day. However, as expected with an open pool, there were occasional leaves, insects, and bird feathers. On our last evening, we noticed that the pool lights were not working. The front desk responded immediately via WhatsApp and assured us that a technician would check the issue the next day. While it was our checkout day and we didn’t get to see it fixed, we hope it was resolved for the next guests. Overall, Ubud Diary Villa is a fantastic retreat for those seeking a balance between privacy and shared space. The natural surroundings, excellent amenities, and warm hospitality made our stay memorable. We highly recommend it and would love to return!

Ubud Diary Villa is simply perfect for us as a family of three. It’s very spacious, modern yet very Balinese style decorated. It’s equipped with almost everything we need in a home including a washing machine! It’s located just in the middle of the fields, very quiet and serenity all the time. The Ubud centre is not far from it also (just that the traffic is quite busy )The villa beds are very comfortable, housekeeping can be done or not based on our request.The staffs especially front desk are all very friendly , helpful and fast responsive to all our needs, excellent service! Ubud Diary villa is really suitable for us as repeatedly visitors to Bali..who want a completely relaxing and peaceful vacation..

Nothing

Peaceful ambience, excellent services, the staffs are professional and friendly, well-maintained villa. It is within 30 min - 1 hr driving distance to most of the attractions (bali safari, pantai saba for turtle release, paddy terrace etc). There are good restaurants nearby and the villa can arrange for food delivery. It has washing machine with detergent which is definitely a plus point if you want to do laundry by yourself. Staffs are very accommodating and did decoration (using towels, ballons and rose petals) for my husband birthday. The staffs can communicate well in English, and very knowledgeable to give recommendations. No mosquitoes (there are insects around especially at shower area but it is expected so not a big deal for us).

The road to the villa is just good for one car. It can be a bit challenging if you are renting a car and driving. Breakfast preparation took a bit long (so order one hour in advanced to avoid disappointment).

My husband and I had an amazing stay at Ubud Diary Villa! The villa was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, offering the perfect balance of comfort and tranquility. The private pool and lush surroundings made it a truly relaxing getaway. What made our experience even more special was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond to fulfill my special request to decorate the room as a surprise for my husband’s birthday. Their attention to detail and effort truly exceeded my expectations, and I truly appreciate this! We felt genuinely welcomed and valued throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Ubud with outstanding hospitality, I highly recommend this villa.

We stayed three nights at Ubud Diary Villa. This has been a fantastic stay. The villa was incredibly clean, well appointed rooms and living, with modern equipment. Their kitchen had everything needed including storage for excess food! We woke up to the sound of birds. The road noise can be heard if you leave the balconies open, but nothing if it is closed. The staff were very courteous and Yovi was always willing to go above and beyond his duty to make things happens for you. He is one of the best! The breakfast at hotel was simple and good. The food they organized from a hotel nearby was not great, but even for that, Yovi had arranged it like a five star hotel. He is exceptional. Grab delivers food here, so it is not a big deal. The massage was very good too. The pool was clean. It takes about 15-25 minutes to the centre of Ubud depending on time of the day. But once you are here, you will not want to leave the Villa!

Ubud Diary Villa was a great find in the heart of Ubud, with all notable locations within a 15 minute drive of the location (30 minutes in case of traffic). Our host, Yuvi, was a warm gentleman and I really appreciate all his help. We availed of the airport pick up and drop service through them, and the driver Agun made us feel like family. It's easily one of the biggest villas you'll get, and more than enough space for everything you want. They gave a fully functional kitchen, a water purifier with mineral water and a lot of other amenities that are not available in any other stay. I don't have a single complaint about the property, and would recommend to absolutely anyone looking to travel to Ubud.

The only thing I wished was better would be if there was an option for an indoor/ covered washroom. Since it's outdoors, there were a few bugs which were coming into the bathtub etc. This is a personal preference though, and nothing against the property. It's in the heart of the forestland of Ubud, and some travellers would prefer the connection with nature.

The little details were really what mattered at Ubud Diary villas, like the way their towels and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash smelled so good. I loved the fact that they have a washer in the villa. The staff here were so friendly and welcoming. It is not in the center of Ubud but a 10-minute gojek ride will take you there. My only little complaint was that I wish they would clean the pool more. All things considered, it was an amazing stay and I would highly recommend staying at Ubud Diary villas.

See above

Friendly staff, great private pool, spacious lounge area, nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Balconies on two sides with views out to rice fields. Cleanliness. Modern. Quiet. Quality of construction. Good to also see they are making efforts towards sustainability.

Food options, it's a bit of a hike to find a good coffee... You either need to travel to somewhere to eat or use the Grab App. The lounge area could maybe use some more appropriate seating. Satellite flat-screen TV - was able to use YT and internet Apps but not able to get TV channels to work. Wasn't aware of the spa facilities and wellness packages until too late.

The villa is amazing, honestly second to none. Its beautiful, massive, clean and has stunning views. The staff are also very polite, friendly and helpful. Its also nice to be just outside the main area of Ubud as its quiet and relaxing but close enough to only need a short drive in.

The pool could have been cleaner and a net would have been useful, as due to the location, as the villa is surrounded by rice paddies and plants etc bugs, leaves etc constantly fall in. The outdoor space is also missing some sun loungers or comfy seats.
