Ketut's Place Bed & Breakfast Ubud — Hotel in Pulau Bali

We stayed here for 6 nights. Both Ketut and his family/staff is very nice and good service, and I don't enjoy giving this review, but i have to be honest. This hotel is really cool and i thought we walked into a temple coming there, BUT...

When we arrived there were problem with our room, but instead we got a "uppgraded" room down in the (ravine?) Wich was really cool. But they had recently sprayed the room with something for the buggs, and there were both dead and living bugs everywhere in the room that they didnt clean up. The spray left a very strong amoniak smell in the sheets, curtains and canopy, making me very nausius. There were also ants everywhere. We complained and was given airfreshener and... More insect spray... I refused a second night in this room and was given our ordinary room wich was just the same. At this point we packed our bags and were ready to leave when we were given a third room wich was a little better. Didn't smell and had a little less ants...

This room however had no pressure on hot water so only semi-cold showers, problem with drainage and smal clay-ish inscects nests in the bed and shower. The bed was badly insect-eaten and curtains and canopy was so dirty it made me shudder. At this point I just lost my fighting spirit and lived with it...

Our backpacks is crawling with bugs, so a sanitation when coming home is reciured...

Generally, this hotel has a big problem with ants, the breakfast was very boring. The staff was also repeatadly spitting in the pool-area and the hotel dogs was peeing there, so we never visited the pool. They did not do the everyday cleaning and I never took my shoes off when walking around due to dirty floors.

I talked to Ketut and there is a big renovation in the future, but now, I don't...

So, I came here for four nights and, well, “hotel” might not be the right term. “Museum” describes it better – only, you get breakfast here too! My first room was a small, well-visible ground floor room where the air conditioning seemed to be more of a decorative piece. A complete no-go in this heat. After a quick complaint, I got an upgrade to the so-called “Rapunzel Room” on the second floor, which was only accessible by two steep, narrow staircases.||As for the bathroom situation: the bathroom wasn’t in the room but outside, kind of like an annex. Showering at night felt like an insect party, as a little skylight drew in every flying creature around. On top of that, the drains were so slow that I could almost use it as a footbath. I eventually made peace with my ant roommates, but leaving anything in the bathroom was not an option. So, every time, I’d carry all my stuff back to the room – an excellent fitness program!||The Wi-Fi? Okay during the day, but come evening, when everyone was in their rooms, it practically disappeared. Stains and strange hairs on the heavy bed cover made my nights even more thrilling. All in all, I was beyond relieved to move to a new hotel on checkout day – with a normal bathroom in the room!||On the bright side, I have to say the view from the breakfast area was pretty fantastic, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. If I’ve learned one thing, it’s that a “Museum Hotel” is certainly unique, but next time, I think I’ll opt for a bit...
