Reviews of Ngesil Private Joglo & Pool

A beautiful retreat just outside the chaos of Ubud. The property is a stunning private villa with its own pool and a delicious breakfast included. You can even enjoy breakfast by the pool for an extra 10,000 rupiah, which is a lovely touch. The only drawback is the roosters that start crowing quite early in the morning.

Property was very good private pool is the highlight

Review for Ubud Accommodation A lovely, simple room with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect—close to everything in Ubud. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel very welcome. Great value and a peaceful base for exploring the area.

It can be a little out way to centre. I a bit noisy from the animals but ear plugs provided. Slept well!

The villa was a nice private space tucked away in Ubud, with a lovely small private pool — perfect for a refreshing dip after a busy day exploring. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Made, who was always quick to assist and arranged a scooter for us whenever we needed.

Cleanliness could definitely be improved. When we checked in, the room had insects and spider webs, which was disappointing. Thankfully, after we raised the issue, the room was cleaned more thoroughly and the rest of our stay was comfortable. Overall, it’s a decent value for money if you’re not too picky, but there’s room for improvement.

The jungle view and the pool was nice.

The step into the bathroom.

None

The property is situated in a complex where there are dogs barking and roosters doing cook a doodle do all day. Any time of the night or day these noises will disturb your sleep.

The view was great The staff super friendly Breakfast was very yummy

It wasn’t very private, I could see the local neighbours through the fence The dogs next door would continuously bark anytime I was chilling outside, which was aggravating. The wifi constantly stopped working through the days. It’s obvious not Bali owned. The contact person wasn’t in Ubud and would take long times to reply when I needed help with the faulty wifi or empty drinking water . It was a foreign property manager. I’d much rather support local business. The most roosters I’ve ever heard in my life staring at 3am The pool was green when I first arrived and they had to empty it, hand clean it and refill, which took hours when I first arrived and I wanted privacy to rest The pool when green again a few days later, so they don’t use chlorine The owners had aggressive dogs that would come at me when I was trying to come and go One dog was on a 1 meter leash 24 hours a day which was sad. I thought about cutting it free but it was also very aggressive The staff would come in unannounced when I was naked and would not leave in the awkward situation The bed wasn’t comfortable, I felt like I would sink into the middle and my partner had no choose but to roll on top of me during the night If you have mobility issues, the step into the bathroom and kitchen is abnormally large and would be dangerously for some.

The private pool was lovely.

There were large holes in the roof (as pictured) and walls, which allowed a large geko entry and it was on the ceiling, daily dropping poop onto the table and floor. The facilities are very poor, the kitchen facilities are very basic for the cost. The Kettle was insanely slow and took an age to boil. Each day, I had to ask for toilet paper as a new roll was not provided. There was dust and hair at the side of the bedside locker. There was a dog 2 metres away from my head that barked incessantly each night from 10pm onwards and woke me up at approximately 6am each morning also, barking at other dogs. The walls are all wooden so the noise is insanely loud, the walls offer no protection from the barking or the roosters going off each morning. There were numerous dogs running around at the entrance which was intimidating entering the property, and in particular a large black dog out the front of this property that followed me and jumped at me on two occasions. I felt scared. The bed dipped down on the left hand side. The 6 nights I slept there, between the bed and noise, I didn't sleep well one night even with earplugs. It was hell for $65 AUD a night.

So clean! The staff were so helpful, kind, and accommodating. They clean daily and respond quickly to thier whatsapp messages. They even minded our bags before the villa was available so we could explore. Great location, stunning view and divine pool. Hired a scooter with helmets and a rain coat directly from the host. So happy with our stay.

Be aware you will need to buy your own water, they provide around 2 litres a day. There is a fridge you can store your water in

Friendly staff and always helped and had a nice pool

The only thing was early morning the dogs and chicken were very loud and was waking you up at 6am most days.

Really beautiful little spot close to the centre of Ubud and really handy if you’re travelling North to Batur at some point. Really nice little cabin with a great forest view. Good Eat Pray Love spot for solo or couples.

It was pretty much everything I expected. The only odd part is that it a little tricky to find as it’s behind other shops and houses but the address is available on Google Maps, Grab and GoJek

Villa is situated near main street and easy to get to places around. The staff are incredibly helpful and take very good care of you. Breakfast was also very good with Avacado Juice. Overall a very good option to stay in north ubud.

We are very happy to stay here. The room is large and the facilities are complete. We requested halal breakfast. The breakfast food is delicious. The host and staff are very kind. They provide facilities for motorbike rental too. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Beautiful Breakfast. Especially the Nasi Goreng.

It was a little bit difficult to the find the property from the main road
