Pondok Bulan Mas — Hotel in Pulau Bali

Beautiful home. Friendly people. Free water and coffee/tea all day. Peaceful but close enough to Ubud city center. Very clean. Loved this homestay.

Cons: The fan can be noisy. The bathroom is getting old. No AC, only fan rooms. Low water pressure.

Pros: Good value for money. Mosquito nets. Clean. Very beautiful. Green. Serene. Great breakfast on patio. Many options on the breakfast menu and they all come with a delicious fruit salad Tasty coffee. Friendly family but not intrusive. Use of common refrigerator. Very helpful and knowledgeable owner ( Mr. Made). Sweet kids. Daily house keeping. Sheets and blankets changed at regular intervals. A good place to hang your boots and just chill.

Tips: can use the big bottle container to fill your own water bottles. Suggest ask for directions on closest way to get to the rice fields. Lots of temples on the street, keep an eye out for ceremonies. Buy your own sarong so that you can visit. Can arrange (taxi) airport pick-up and drop-off to various locations directly with the family. They can also help you rent a motorcycle/scooter. Competitive rate ( 60K or so). They will also help with shuttle booking. Request the family if you can swap the morning breakfast to Nasi Campur ( that the family cooks for themselves). I ate Nasi Campur most of my stay, especially as the owner's wife is a wonderful cook and her Nasi Campur for me was much better than in any restaurant. Secret Tip : Introduction to family. The owner (I Made) and his wife. One of his daughters (and her husband) live in the same house, and she has two beautiful young daughters. My best memories are...

I stayed with Wayan's family for around two and a half months. What began as a hurried booking without much research turned out to be one of the best decisions I made during my holiday in Bali. Initially planning to stay for just one week, I found myself never wanting to leave until I had to return to New Zealand.

During those days, I truly felt at home, embraced by the warmth of this family. Their aura was peaceful, calm, and kind. I love their subtle yet pervasive care to their guests and the way they lovingly care each other across three generations.

The yard, with its family temple and lush tropical plants, was beautifully maintained by the hosts. Each morning, I witnessed the serene ritual of the hostess making offerings at the shrine, a practice filled with sincerity and tranquility. If you’re lucky, you might also experience their celebration of Balinese festivals and savor their delicious traditional cuisine.

The location is ideal—right in the center of Ubud, offering both convenience and a peaceful retreat away from the noise. You can often hear gamelan music from nearby temples.

As a hidden gem, this place is also home to two long-term residents: a wise and friendly “life coach” and a silent nature adventure artist. 😉

If you’re searching for a warm, peaceful, and healing place to stay in Ubud, this is the...

Our stay at Pondok Bulan Mas has inspired me to write my first ever trip advisor review.||||If you are visiting Ubud and want to stay somewhere that is quiet, clean, picturesque and run by the friendliest family then this place is perfect. ||||My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and cannot find a bad word to say. The homestay is about a 10 minute walk from the main "strip", the rooms are basic but very clean and cleaned every day. Each room has its own little balcony area with a table and chairs where the family brings you breakfast every morning. The banana pancakes are delicious and are accompanied by a bowl of very fresh fruit. ||||You can rent scooters directly from the family - costs about £3 for the day. Would highly recommend you do this as several of the attractions are a little bit of a way away. ||||We stayed here on the recommendation of a friend and we would not hesitate to recommend this to any of our...
