DANU HOUSE UBUD vs Similar Hotels

Very comfortable beds and good air conditioning in every room, contributing to a restful stay.

Well sized and equipped rooms.

Rooms are functional and meet basic needs for many guests but several reports cite tiny rooms, bad bathroom odours, and privacy issues (transparent glass doors), so room quality is mixed.

Rooms were generally described well, though there were issues due to perceived overcharging related to stains.

The bathrooms had a musty smell and a certain dankness; suggests a need for refurbishment.

The bathroom needed a makeover.

Multiple reviews report strong mould/musty and sewage smells, stains on bathrobes/linens and limited ventilation (windows that don't open), indicating below‑average cleanliness despite some rooms being acceptable.

Feedback indicated various safety and cleanliness issues with the property.

Great location, easy access to local restaurants and shops, peaceful yet close to the center.

Great location within a short walk to everything.

Location is consistently praised as excellent and very convenient (about a 10‑minute walk to Ubud Palace, many cafes/restaurants nearby); this is one of the strongest positives.

Several reviews praised the location for its accessibility to shops and restaurants.

Hosts Mita and Kadek provided kind, attentive, and passionate service, making guests feel at home.

Friendly and helpful staff throughout the stay.

Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful: they changed rooms when asked, prepared early‑morning food boxes and assisted guests — overall service is a clear strength.

While one review mentioned extremely rude staff, another highlighted the friendly service from Amanda, creating a mixed sentiment.

Delicious and fresh breakfasts; nearby restaurant offered great food at reasonable prices.

Breakfast was exceptional but could improve.

Breakfast is generally noted as good with a reasonable spread and occasional helpful service (food boxes), though a few reviews call the food mediocre or request more options.

Breakfast options were viewed as limited, and specific dietary options were lacking.

Generous breakfasts, lovely courtyard, and pool perfect for relaxation.

Standard quality for this hotel tier.

Amenities exist (pool, gym) but guests report issues: pool often cold and shaded with few sunbeds, and the gym is very small — usable but not outstanding.

The amenities were noted positively, with a nice pool area, though improvements in breakfast options were suggested.

Affordable prices for services, great value considering the hospitality and amenities offered.

Great value for your money.

Some guests feel the hotel is expensive for what it offers and experienced slow refund handling; others found it acceptable given location and service, so perceived value is slightly above average after balancing opinions.

Concerns about being overcharged impacted perceived value.
