Really good value for money 2 bedroom villa with pool and outdoor kitchen. Absolutely beautifully maintained tropical garden oasis. Great for couples. Would be a perfect honeymoon venue.

It was a lovely great value for money 2 bedroom villa. The steps are a bit steep though. There is a drop off from the varandah to the garden so just be aware this may be a safety issue for young children or people with physical disabilities. Also, this may be obvious, but as it's a pool villa, children need to be supervised at all times.

Beautiful villa and pool. We also loved the location. Very quiet but still a few decent restaurants a few minutes’ of walk away, and numerous options on the main road.

Second bedroom was only accessible via external stairs which wasn’t ideal with young kids.

loved our time here, the villa was a tropical haven and even included a hidden away little temple. loved loved loved the outdoor bathroom. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the buggy was fun. it’s not really walkable to the center of Ubud due to the lack of sidewalks but we rented scooters and that was also squarely but at least a lot quicker! as others have said plenty of restaurants close by (try the nachos at the Mexican, yum!)

only minus was that the upstairs and downstairs bedroom are only connected by outdoor stairs. one of my kids found it a bit scary to be away from us like that.

I recently stayed at Pondok Naya and absolutely loved my time there. This place is truly a hidden gem, peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for relaxing. The cabin was very comfortable and quiet, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the calm atmosphere. What made our stay extra special was the incredibly friendly and caring staff. They were always checking in to make sure we were happy and comfortable. We also had the pleasure of meeting Balon, a local driver they recommended. He was fantastic, very kind, gave us great tips, and took us to amazing places nearby. The breakfast was delicious and the pool area was beautiful and clean. We had such a good time that we will come back again. Around the property, you’ll also find lovely cafés and restaurants, nice massage to enjoy a quiet afternoon. I highly recommend Pondok Naya to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay with a genuine local touch. I’ll definitely return again!

The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety and fresh options. The room was extremely clean and well maintained. One of the highlights was the shared pool, beautifully set in a tropical, well-kept botanical garden. It truly gave you the feeling of being immersed in the jungle and surrounded by nature. The water was very pleasant, and since the pool was only shared with two other bungalows — which were also very beautiful inside — it felt peaceful and almost private. The bed was large and comfortable, and having both a private bathroom and a kitchen was very convenient.

Honestly, almost everything about the stay was positive. If I had to mention something, it would be the fact that to reach the accommodation, you needed to be picked up by a buggy. You had to contact the driver via WhatsApp or send him a message. That said, he always came quickly and was very reliable — and in the end, the buggy rides actually turned out to be part of the fun experience!

Large rooms, comfortable beds, clean. Lots of hot water, responsive to requests, the buggy service was great and timely. Staff were lovely. Could order food in at reasonable prices.

Pool was slightly damaged and not very easy to get into (just a design issue), lights didn’t all work, no milk for coffee. All minor issues. There was construction next door so you went past piles of debris…not their fault and only a temporary issue. A little off the beaten path and the taxi mafia make transport a little expensive…also not their fault.

We stayed in two bedroom private pool villa - Pondok Naya-2 for our two nights stay in Ubud. Villa was clean, pool is great although it was bit too deep for children, anyone staying with small child should keep an eye on their kids around the pool at all time as there are no pool fences here or any other villa we stayed in Bali. One bedroom upstairs and another downstairs was bit bothersome for our family but may suit other just fine. Upstair there is also sunroom overlooking rice field and has a good pool view. Bedrooms are decent sized, aircon worked pefectly while we stayed and beds were comfortable to sleep. There is a small kitchen downstairs, its quite basic and no microwave. Villa is obviously bit old, when there is wind blowing windows made some rattling sounds as if someone is knocking at them. I am quite sensitive to sounds so this may not be an issue for others. Downstair showers and bathroom has no roof - kind of outdoor shower area but privacy is adequate so no issue with that, just keep in mind for some guests, however, they can use bathroom upstairs. Staffs were very friendly and accommodating. No car access directly to villa as other guest pointed out but buggy service from the villa to main carpark or shops avaialable for guest 7am to 10pm so its not an issue. Anyone who likes to walk, its 10-12min strolling from the villa to main carpark. Overall villa was good, our stay here was ok, there are few insects and ants which scared the kids a bit but those are not big issues as in tropical weather those are expected.

One recommendation I would give the owner is to improve ammenities especially no power converters for international travellers. We struggled a bit with our Australian power plugs, also a microwave would be good. Villa doesnt provide laundry facilities but there is a laundry less than 2 min walking. Also one bedroom upstairs and one downstairs wasnt suitable for us.

Villa is better than the photos. It has the old Bali charm but it's not worn out. Very quite, no bars or clubs around, no traffic noise, no noise from neighbors. Spacious and bright rooms. Nice outdoor bathroom on the first floor. Clean pool that's sunny until aroun 3pm and then gets in the shade of the house. Street doesn't allow cars but the staff can take you to and from your taxi on a golf cart. There are nice small cafes and restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner within a 2 minute walk.

Wonderful accommodation, the villa is spacious and clean. The pool is amazing! Everyone from the staff are very friendly and helpful. (you can order at the villa - everything from food to spa massages). The location is not far from Downtown Ubud - 20 minutes walking and we enjoyed the silence as the villa is situated away from all the main streets noises. Near Pondok Naya are a lot of good cafes and restaurants. We definitely recommend Pondok Naya as we had a wonderful stay.

We stayed in Ubud for 4 nights out of a 3 week trip and this was our favourite hotel overall. We communciated with the villa prior to arrival and Balon kindly picked us up from the airport and even stopped at a cash point on the way to the villa. We arrived late and you get dropped at the main road, where a buggy will be waiting for you who will take you down a private quiet road to your villa which is in the middle of ricefields! The location is perfect, so quiet and the staff couldn't be friendlier. On arrival you are welcomed with coconut water and are given a small phone to contact the staff whenever you want picking up/dropping off to the main road. The buggy service is only until 10pm but not a problem at all because the private road is very safe and takes about 10 mins to walk to the main road if you need to. The room itself included a comfy bed with mosquito net, a lovely bathroom and small kitchen. Directly outside the bungalow villa was a nice pool which you can use at any time of the day and some loungers which is lovely to just look at the stars in the evening. The villas also work with a local warung who we ordered breakfast from one morning and was delicious. We also got a couples massage from the leaflet provided by the villa and they came to our villa which is highly recommended (£10 each for an hour deep tissue massage). I would highly highly recommend this place, we would go back in a heartbeat!

Nothing, it was amazing.
