We stayed there in April and can generally concur with previous reviews. We booked one of the new upper level rooms but were given a standard ground level room on arrival despite confirmation several times by email. This was quite disappointing but we stayed as we had nowhere else to go at the time. We found both the bedroom and... More

Mai Malu, is located between the main two streets, so it is in a great location, near the main Monkey forest st, were you find all the savvy shops and restaurants. The homestay, is also located near a local warang, which serves up excellent food and very good price. The rooms at the homestay are clean, have hot water, fans... More

Great homestay right in centre of Ubud on Jl Gootama, surrounded by wayungs, bars and shops but within a family compound so blocks out the streets outside. Friendly family and a good breakfast. I didn't want to leave. Rooms are 100,000 or 200,000rp depending on size etc. All very new, comfy beds, decent shower, free wifi.

Mai Malu is just of the busy streets of Ubud, yet very quiet and relaxing. The rooms are surrounded by a tropical Balinese garden, very clean with a really good vibe. The owner and her family is incrediblie friendly. Descent wifi and tasty breakfast included in the low prices. Just outside there are several great shops, local restaurants and internet... More

Found this place out of luck. Very nice rooms with fan and nice bathroom. New construction...I stayed upstairs in one of the very new rooms. Quiet setting away from the bustle, but only a 2-3 minute walk to all of the busy areas. Initially, only planned to plant myself here for one night and search around. However, was so comfortable...

Note: while I was there it was under construction an if I had to guess it will be for another month or two. They are adding a second level. Place is fantastic even given the noise in the morning. There is a great little courtyard and koi pond, song birds and a very nice family. Free wifi, hot water and... More

A wonderful, welcoming, nice family. The grounds are clean as was the room. The room was spacious and surprisingly dry for ubud. I would rate this a 5 on everything but- I had to ask for a towel and scrounge up toilet paper, as it was not offered. And I stayed for 8 days, but there was no offer to... More
