I had an amazing stay at Umah Anila, and it went beyond all my expectations! I’ve stayed in many places before, but this one is by far the best. The hosts are such a kind, friendly family who made me feel at home right away. They are always there to help, support and give any recommendations or guidance around Bali. I’m so thankful for their warmth and care. The location is great—central, but quiet, and is super accessible by car or scooter. There are lots of shops, restaurants, and a big supermarket just a 1-2-minute walk away. I loved how everything was within walking distance, which made my time in Ubud even more enjoyable. The breakfast is delicious, simple, and full of vitamins. The rooms are fresh and clean, the bed is really comfortable, and the WiFi works perfectly. There is a very nice view during sunset and sunrise, literally from the room 😊 I highly recommend Umah Anila! It will always be my top choice whenever I visit Ubud again. Thank you so much for making my stay so special!

I liked everything 🥹

As every review seems to mention, the location is indeed great, situated very close to the centre of Ubud, but set back far enough so that the noise of traffic is only a faint sound in the background, never annoying. The view from the majority of the rooms is also great. The picture of the guesthouse from the outside that shows the surrounding buildings can give a good overview of what it's going to be like when you are here. The hosts are very attentive and hospitable. The guesthouse is run by one family. They are very kind and caring people. Rooms are simple, yet clean and comfy. AC works alright. Finally, the value for money is truly remarkable. It might be slightly above average price for an Ubud guesthouse, but it is totally worth it, the quality to price ratio is amazing. The room does not have a kettle, but the hosts can bring a thermos of hot water every morning.

Only thing that might be missing is a mini fridge in the room.

At Umah Anila I found a heaven after two months of travelling! Having coffey and breakfast in the morning on the beautiful balcony with (no doubts) the best views in Ubud. Going to Yogabarn just around the corner every day. Staying in a spacious and clean room with good aircon. Sleeping in an extremely comfortable bed with soft sheets. The family here are kind and honest people, who provide an impeccable service to their guests. They picked me up very late the airport. They make me feel so welcomed and cared for. No pressure. Shop on the property. Good warung and a spa next door. These guys seem to be doing everything right and of course I extended my stay! In my experience as a long time solo female traveller this is the best place to stay in central Ubud. With the best views. It is simply luxury on a budget.

Nothing

Excellent location to YogaBarn yet very quiete. Lovely family running it so accommodating and friendly. I recommend to request room 5 is the best corner room on the upper floor with lots of light and rooms 6 and 7 are also great with fantastic views.

It’s not really something negative but would be amazing if there was tiny fridge in the room as everything gets spoiled so quickly in hot weather including fruits.

The room was always clean and the location was perfect because is located very close to restaurants, bars, main streets and also close to the monkey forest. Although is was located in the center of Ubud, this hotel is extremely quiet. We didn’t hear any noise from the street, which was great as it allowed us to have a quiet and pleasant sleep. Putu and her family were always trying to make us feel comfortable, they helped us to rent a motorbike, book ferries and they even took us to the harbour in their own car. Very polite and kind family. Putu made the breakfast for us every day and it was delicious!! Thank you very much for that. They have 6 different options of breakfast that you can choose and also, as soon as you wake up, you already have coffee, tea and hot water to start enjoying the morning in the cute private terrace where you are then going to be served with delicious food and fruits.

The view from the balcony was such a bonus. You can see the mountain. I loved my room (room 5 at the top floor) with all the windows. And the staff was amazing. They cleaned the room every day. Put little flowers in the room, gave me fruit when I arrived. I got hot water for tea or coffee. The location is great. Very near restaurants and shops but in a more quiet alley. Very good atmosphere and very clean. There is a little shop downstairs where you can buy drinks and snacks etc.

Everything about this place was perfect for our stay, we loved it here. Putu and her family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after. The flowers placed around the rooms were a lovely touch. Great central location yet very peaceful. The rooms are a good size, very clean and housekeeping everyday. We were served quality coffee and a beautiful breakfast kindly tailored to our dietary needs each morning, delivered on the terrace outside our room at a time of our choosing. They also have a shop where you can purchase water and snacks etc which was super convenient. It was an absolute pleasure staying here, hope to return in the future and highly recommend.

I stayed at Umah Anila for a 7 nights and it was a wonderful experience! The family that runs the guest house could not be more lovely and kind - they make the place feel like the home and are were a highlight. The guest house is perfectly located in the center of ubud - close walking distance to the money forest, yoga barn and some great cafes and restaurant. I loved sitting on the terrace when it was cool at night. Umah Anila is a little gem and great value for money, in my opinion!

This isn’t a detraction, rather just know that this is not a “luxury” guest house, but what it doesn’t have in luxury accommodations it makes up for in soul and warmth. Would definitely recommend!

There is nothing not to like. The host and family are so friendly and helpful. We felt well looked after. Breakfast was amazing on our terrace every morning, and a good selection was available, too. Enjoy the view all the way to Mount Batur from the terrace. The rooms are very clean and tidy, and the bed is super comfortable. Very close to shops and busy streets but also very quiet at the same time. Just amazing and we would have loved to stay much longer. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable.

There was nothing we did not like.

We had an amazing stay at Umah Anila. The owners were truly wonderful and even prepared a little birthday cake with candles for my friend. The room was very clean and comfortable with a great terrasse offering a fantastic views over Ubud. Also really enjoyed the daily breakfast (amazing banana pancakes with fruits). Would definitely recommend staying there. Thanks again for everything!

Overall we were super happy and really enjoyed our stay. However, unfortunately the handle of the bathroom door was broken and we couldn't close it properly. We also would have wished for a locker in the room, especially because the sliding doors of the room didn't close the room entirely (there was still a gap between door and window).
