Really loved the place! I booked 2 weeks, then extended my for one week. And I would have extended it even more, but there was no availability:) Although the room is not spacious but very neat and comfy, I really like the design as well. The bathroom is clean and modern. There is a shared kitchen if you want to cook something for yourself. I had a room on the top floor and really enjoyed chilling, having breakfast, and working at the private balcony. The view from the balcony is beautiful! The area is quiet and pieceful, although the location is really convenient and close to the center of Ubud.

1) Affordable 2) Pretty room 3) Has connecting balcony 4) View is superb; not surprise cause in BALI 5) Host cater special Muslim dish for us! 6) Host very helpful (We forgot to inform very late check in (1am ish) but they still accept 7) Host live in the same area/ gate (iyk how Bali house system) 8) Host help us bring our heavy luggage to upper floor (Really appreciate it, cause at 1am we already super tired) 9) Very cheap breakfast (Fruits served were very sweet and yummy, & we like eating maggie goreng with eggs!) 10) Toilet okay. 11) View from breakfast area is very pretty!

1) Location wise- need to go through narrow walls. Only 1 car can fit & our supir struggling too. (Might be he’s not skilful? Not sure. However, alternatively, just drop at the junction and walk uphill to homestay, Just bear in minds, we are not active Malays so might be because we are not fit haha) 2) Dog- We don’t really mind when the dog roaming in the area/ near our room/ in the free area, but we felt bit comfortable during breakfast. Because we are muslim, we don’t want to purify ourselves during vacation; due to their saliva. But the host, actively prevent the dog from coming to us but still- (oh the dog is gentle, i think they just want to play)

Homestay is run by a lovely family. I stayed there for 2 months. The 1st month I stayed in a room on the ground floor which was a bit noisy and the bed wasn't great either. Also, everybody walked passed the room as it was next to the path to the exit. Later, I moved to the first floor. The quality of the 2nd room was much better. I had a nice balcony with a great view of Ubud. Both rooms had a desk which was perfect for doing some work.

The bed in the ground floor room was not comfortable. There is a shared kitchen available which could use a bit more organisation. Like putting name stickers on food in the fridge as some food seems to lay there longer than guests stayed.

- The staff was great; everyone was really friendly, and our requests were fulfilled easily and quickly by texting the owner on WhatsApp. - We liked the shared kitchens and spaces. Also, the place was very beautiful and well-integrated into Ubud's nature with tall trees and beautiful patios and plants all around.

- We requested a queen bed but since the place was almost fully booked, they didn't have any room with queen bed left so they gave us two twin beds joined together which were not very comfortable to sleep on. - The place is shown as a busy place on google maps but it's not very busy for tourists because there's only street food around and not many restaurants. The actual busy place is around Ubud Art market which is around 20 mins walk from the homestay.

For a solo traveler, the place was perfect. I stayed the whole month. I felt safe and comfortable. I liked the simple design of the room, the balcony, and especially the views. In my free time, I enjoyed watching the daily life of the locals. The kitchen area is also good, and the bed is comfortable. It would be great to have a shelf in the bathroom. The stuff is lovely 🤍 Location is farther away from the main street, more quiet. Perfect if you are planning to visit yoga barn.

Very cosy, pleasant, authentic place, I especially liked the upper terrace, communal space. The staff are very nice and helpful. The breakfasts are delicious. Internet is good. It's basically quiet place, but guests can change that.

The water system was not working for 2-3 days. It has been repaired, but it was very unpleasant, in other accommodation I have received compensation in such cases (e.g. free breakfast or any gesture). The building has been renovated, but the walls in my room already need painting.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Made Arsa Homestay, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. Nestled in the heart of Ubud, this homestay offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle, while still being conveniently close to local attractions. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm Balinese hospitality. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable. The rooms were beautifully decorated with traditional Balinese touches and were spotlessly clean. I particularly enjoyed the tranquil garden view from my room, which provided a perfect setting for relaxation. The breakfast served each morning was delicious, featuring a variety of fresh, local ingredients. It was a delightful way to start the day, and the homemade jams were a standout! What truly sets Made Arsa Homestay apart is the genuine care and attention from the owners. They were always available to offer recommendations and ensure that my stay was perfect. Overall, Made Arsa Homestay is a wonderful place to stay if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with authentic Balinese charm. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ubud and look forward to returning on my next trip!

I love this homestay so much. The location is perfect, in a quiet small road. The Deluxe room is beautiful with a nice decoration. It's very clean. The staff is so nice. I extended my stay twice and I'll go back there for sure when I'll be back in Ubud. Wifi worked perfectly.

It would be nice to have transparent and thin curtains in addition to big curtains, to have more privacy and let the light pass through. I would also appreciate more storage solutions in the bathroom. But everything was perfect !!

The breakfast was sustaining, and because I had problems climbing the stairs to the kitchen where it is normally served, the staff served it to me downstairs.

I am not great with stairs, and didn't realise that there were a few levels to the homestay when I booked. Fortunately I lucked out and was in a room that was pretty accessible.

The location is good and the area is quiet, no noise from the street at the property. The site is beautiful with a lovely garden and the atmosphere is homely. I was very welcome and treated super well all the time. All the family and staff are very friendly and kind and always ready to help. Thank you so much Indri for your kindness, availability, and trust. I had a great time!

I don't like to sleep with the air conditioning on and I like to have the windows open to let the air in, so it would be a great idea to put netting on the bedroom windows, because without nets, you either suffer with the heat or you don't sleep because of the mosquitoes. It would also be great to have mosquito netting on the beds, as I've had a few restless nights due to mosquitoes waking me up and biting me, which could have been avoided with simple mosquito nets.
