Reviews of Nirwa 1 Ubud Guesthouse

Great family operated guest house. Such a quiet location in the heart of Ubud. Rice fields around house and coconut palms . Short walk to cute lane with open rice fields and shops for massage, coffee and restaurant- warung open air style and new bamboo coffee house. Rooms are huge.

Breakfast was nice but more western style. Please offer Bali style breakfast.

A really peacefull place, near to center of Ubud, but a quiet place. It is placed also very close to the rice fields. The hosts are very kind and eager to help you with anything you need. They make you feel at home. The room were very spacious and clean with air conditioning, rustic furniture and balinese decorations. Also, had a spacious terrace where you can admire the nature, the sound of it and where you can read a book or taking a nap. The room cleaning was daily and the breakfast is prepared by hosts with fresh fruits or juice, eggs, noodle soup, toast, pancake.

For us was not an issue, but I need to mention that the room does not have a small fridge and TV

Great place to discover Ubud easily and really nice family that was very friendly and welcoming!

"Made" is a fantastic host. His family made me feel very welcome and as a solo traveling provided me with much needed conversation. I had many interesting conversations with other guests (22yrs up to middle aged) over the provided breakfast which was held in an intimate setting. Made shared his insights regarding Bali today which I really appreciated. Elsewhere I was given the boring "sanitized for tourists" version. The accomodation is exactly as advertised. My room had both a ceiling fan and airconditioning perfect for those who don't want to get sick from sleeping under aircon cold air. The room I had was well protected from mosquitos. Mesh netting to keep them out! It's surprisingly quiet given that it's a 10min walk to Purma Dalem Temple and the main road. I slept well here. Best to arrive in Daylight to make it easier to find. If you struggle with large steps or carrying your own luggage this is not the place for you. Once here you need not go down into the hectic fray of the mainstreet as there are several good restaurants, yoga places (recommend Yoga Studio), massage places (recommend Diann'ah at Serenity Spa) in the adjacent rice fields. Note that the " Nirwa Homestay" is different from the "Nirwa 1 Homestay" where I stayed and Made and his family live. They own both. Nirwa 1 does not have a pool but Made said I could use it. A 15min walk gets you to Campuhan ridge (fantastic eateries, art places, idyllic lilly pond tranquil places, hotels which allow you to use their pools (includes a towel, shower) for 150,000 Rp. Try Kastara's infinity pool and fantastic food. You may need to ignore the timber processing noises in the adjacent valley though. The amazing Alchemy Yoga temple, restaurant and Plant Bistro restaurants are also only a 15min walk. For dancers there is Bara Studio. Thanks Made (and family) for your friendly hospitality and making my Bali holiday so memorable.

If you struggle with large steps or carrying your own luggage this is not the place for you. Best to arrive in Daylight to make it easier to find. Used toilet paper had to go in a bin, not down the toilet. The shower is basic. Old style but functional.

As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and cared for. The team at Nirwa were extremely caring and clearly tried to make the experience the best possible. The breakfast was delicious and the location was perfect. Highly recommend.

It's very quiet and the breeze from the rice fields feels nice. It's at the end of a narrow road so you have to walk there, but you can see a wonderful rural view.

The breakfast was basic but was good. I find the location to be very good. It met my needs.

There was nothing not to like. I had a great stay at Nirwa. The room was bigger than expected and the view was amazing.

Yes. It’s a very beautiful place with all the local decoration and a family temple in the charming garden.

We are nicely and warmly hosted.

The bed was comfortable, the room was very clean, one of the cleanest I encountered in Indonesia. The facilities are great and the rooms are large. The building is absolutely beautiful and the decor is stunning with the temple garden.the location is so quiet and close to a lovely rice field walk and cafes but not far from the center. Totally recommend!! Also yes there is a path to go back but as a solo female traveler I didn't feel unsafe because it is very short and also there are other accommodations around so it doesn't feel you are totally isolated. Also no aggressive dogs around, all the dogs were friendly

The rooms on the ground floor can be a bit dark so if you can, book one of the rooms with the balcony. The deluxe room on the top has amazing views. A bit more interaction with the hosts would be great, the place gives more a feeling of hotel than guesthouse but that's also cause it's quite big. There is a little walk you have to do but it's not long but if you have a lot of luggage can be an issue, then best to coordinate with the guesthouse for help.

Love this place, been coming back several times. The hosts are so friendly and hospitable, the location couldn’t be better, beautifully set in the ricefield but still just a stone’s throw from the center of Ubud.

The location. The relaxed atmosphere. The family feel

All good

It is close to a big rice field and nature, and a lot of yoga shalas around, very peaceful and feels right at home. Gusti and Ayu, Sri and baby Bagustia are very warm hosts and it’s like you live with the family. I stayed here so happily for almost two weeks

There are sometimes dog poop outside the door but I think it cannot be helped, also, some staircase from main entrance so bring only light luggage!

Great location , quiet

The location was really nice even tho there is a 5 minutes walk from the city to the guesthouse. The family that runs it was also really nice. The place was overall quiet.

They are a very friendly family and you can rest very well in the place. You don't hear any noise after 10 and the breakfasts are incredible. I loved the place.

We enjoyed our 4 days at Nirwa homestay so much and can recommend it wholeheartedly! The room was squeaky clean and the super sweet staff lady was here everyday to keep it that way. Thank you! Everytime you enter or leave the building you get the warmest greeting and good buy you can imagine! The whole family spreads very positive and relaxing vibes and we had a lot of good talks with them. Like others have already said, the homestay is super quiet, but also very close to the center, best of both worlds! Please if you are planning to stay in Ubud, choose this place and book as many nights as you can get! We were sad when we had to leave after 4 days.
