Batik Sekar Bali Guest House

❌ I WISH THERE WAS A ZERO-STAR OPTION — THIS PLACE DOES NOT DESERVE EVEN ONE STAR ❌ ⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BOOKING THIS HOTEL ⚠️ This was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. 1. The hotel was extremely unhygienic. There were spider webs in the toilet, under the table, and under the bed. Fungus was visible on the bathroom walls and on floors throughout the hotel. 2 My daughter slept on the bed and had a severe allergic reaction—her face and body became swollen, and we had to rush her to the emergency hospital. After that, we had to disinfect everything ourselves before sleeping. 3. They provided a mattress on the floor for my daughter and charged us an extra 50,000 IDR. This felt very greedy and unreasonable. 4. The room was full of lizards, some as large as half an adult arm—very scary and disturbing. 5. The toilet was infested with ants and cockroaches. 6.The staff behaved like owners. When we asked for breakfast (two slices of bread per person), they argued, insisting on only one slice per person. 7. Roosters crowed all day and all night, making it impossible to sleep even for a minute. The noise was unbearable, and even the earplugs they provided were useless. ‼️‼️ 8. There was no proper hot water system. We had to beg them repeatedly to turn it on. They used small cylinders and were careless about refilling them. 9. I had freezing cold showers multiple nights. When I asked for hot water for my daughter, the staff rudely asked whether I had used hot water to wash clothes—which I did not. There was no hot water in the sink anyway. I ended up taking cold showers every night, making our stay absolutely miserable. ❌ Please think three times before booking this place. If you care about hygiene, hot water, peace, safety, or sleep, do NOT stay here.

During my stay here I became a solo traveller as my friend left for home as she wasn't enjoying the experience. The family are absolutely amazing and will go out of their way to help you. There son took me on his moped to help find a replacement charger for my phone. Nothing is too much to ask. The laundry service is also great and the breakfast banana pancakes and fruit were really nice too. The room was spacious and our bathroom was particularly good, with a waterfall shower!|If I was to come back to Ubud I would definitely stay here. |The location is slightly off the Main Street but still only a ten minute walk, which I felt comfortable walking alone as the neighbourhood is so friendly! |Very good value for money !

I booked this place for 3 nights although checked out after the 1st night. Pros: The owner is vey nice and responsive prior to the booking and also during the stay. It is well located in a quiet street but couple of mins walk to the busy parts of the city. The rooster is loud next door but that’s the case in Ubud and rural area and I am early riser so didn’t bother me. It is in a traditional Balinese house with all the elements of a traditional home. The balcony is looking at beautiful trees. Cons: The room is sufficient but can use more cleaning. The white mosquito net looked grey from the dust, there were egg shells on the side table from previous guest breakfast and table cloth was stained from tea/cofee. Hot water was not working in the shower. The yard had a lot of items and didn’t look tightly or organized at all. Due to all the above, I didn’t feel comfortable to stay more than one night.

Basic homestay in the centre of Ubud. Rooms could be more clean and better maintained (leakages in the bathroom, hot water sometimes missing). All of the rooms have a very nice balcony. The position is optimal as it’s in the heart of the city but on one of the few streets without the non-stop traffic of Ubud. Nevertheless expect rooster crowing during all day and night (as everywhere in Ubud). The host is very kind and can help you with things like renting a motorbike.

For the price hard to beat..right in the center of Ubud...and family place ...I stayed here 10 days ... And have been in Bali for 2 months...so great place 🙏 will come back for a long stay.

Ive seen many guesthouses in my few months in Ubud and this is by far the best value there is it! The room is clean and modern, with powerful AC, good internet connection, comfy bed, a dresser with mirror and a large clothing unit to store all your clothes (lock included too for valuables). Unlike many guesthouses in Ubud, this place is taken great care of and the owners really keep it clean, cleaning every day without my even having to ask. The location is great too just a 30 seconds back off Hanoman street, close to Coco mart, monkey forest road, yoga barn, radiantly alive yoga, Ubud road and all Ubud has to offer. There is also a nice private porch with table and chairs if you prefer to be outside. What really makes this place incredible (aside from the great value, low price and cleanliness) is that owners. They are so friendly and welcoming and even allow me to use their kitchen and fridge while Im here to store fruits etc. ||As a seasoned traveller with almost two years spent exploring Asia, I really cant recommend this place more!

Great place if you want an inexpensive room in Ubud. It is a homestay guesthouse and you interact with the family a lot. They will arrange transport if you need. Breakfast is included in the room tariff. I had most meals with the family, and paid my fair share of the costs. If you want to visit the Monkey Forrest or any of the Balinese cultural dances, they will arrange this also. A fantastic experience. I am going to stay longer next time I go to Ubud

We stayed here for 5 nights and it was amazing. The hosts are so friendly. Location is brilliant. It was very affordable. The only downside was the rooster next door. He would randomly make noise at night and non stop early hours in the morning.
