far from town
great view on the jungle, nice swimmimg pool, cheap
4.7
Our taxi driver from Seminyak had a hard time to find the guesthouse... because it's quite far away from Ubud town center. In fact we walked to the town center the first day, took us 45 minutes! So we had to spend $10 taxi every day to go to Ubud and come back to the guesthouse.
Also, the bathroom wasn't very clean... But the view on the jungle was amazing.

Recommended for people who like traditional room, peaceful surrounding, and great view just in front of your room. The hidden gem in ubud. Will be back and stay there again in the future.

Low budget... bad upkeeping
Friendly staff but not necessary efficient
2.7
Our stay would classify as average in this gueat house. They had a beautiful garden, a pool that was so small, good enough forma dip only. The surrounding wood structures were badly maintained. There were wood that wqs almost falling off and wood that needed a coat of varnish to let it look good.
We were surprise by a american breakfast served just with egg, frruits and coffee with no bread. After breakfast in the hotel, we needed another breakfast.
To be fair, one of the staffs tried his best to help us get a fare rate driver but overall not entertaining. I ask this staff if he could help us buy dinner, he said yes but later never return to ask if we would like him to get ua dinner. You can't find any shops in the surroundings and have to pay 100k just to get to town.
This guest house is not suitable for tourist. Maybe local people passing by only with cars.

Nice environment with magnificent views.
Nice mountain views from rooms and nice swimming pool, with quiet environment
7
Love the quiet ambiance and also with the lovely mountain view from room definitely a good place for relaxation. However, the location of this hotel is a bit far from the UBUD Center,thus transportation would be one of the problem. The staffs are friendly and they really tried their best to fulfill all your needs and requirement.

Beautiful trip to Ubud
Comfort. Location. Friendliness.
8.3
If I were to go to Ubud once again, which I will, Umah Gran will definitely be my choice.
The view outside my room was mind blowing. I enjoyed the sound of the river at night and early morning. Beautiful surrounding is indeed a plus point for Umah Gran besides their comfortable bed and very clean bathroom. Breakfast was included. Expect simple breakfast. But better than nothing. Overall, Umah Gran Guesthouse is definitely a place to look for when in Ubud.

Clean Rooms, Friendly Staff, Far from Town
Fast Internet, Clean Room
6
Please note that as of Nov 2013, there is construction next door. Sawing and hammering noise breaks up the probable and usual very quiet and calming surroundings.
I really wanted to love this guesthouse. It received good reviews, but now that we've experienced it we have to say that it is too far from town to walk and there is nearly nothing surrounding it.
The Good: Very clean room & bathroom. Cold Air Conditioning. Strong water pressure. The staff was nice and polite. They even let us use their fridge to keep our Bingtang Beers cold until dinner. A nearby restaurant can deliver dinner and the hotel staff will serve it in your room with nice plates and silverware. Another good thing is the small pool, and the very pretty view facing a green hill. The pool is small, but very nice! The wifi is strong. The price was very good on low season.
So why the low rating? It's WAY too far from town. The actual walk from Umah Gran to the Palace is nearly 1 hour (add 15-20 minutes if you're like me and taking pictures of everything). The BIG concern is that the guesthouse is directly on a strip of main road that has nearly no sidewalk and the closest restaurant is east bound (left as you're leaving hotel) with a very tight bend with heavy traffic and no sidewalk. Simply not safe with the traffic here. We cannot give another star because even on their own website, it feels like the location / distance wasn’t well described. They do have a taksi service that will pick you up and drop you off near the Ubud Palace for 55k IDR. If you only need a place to lay your head and have a daily driver and aren't interested in anything around your hotel, then this place might work.
It is so far from anything at all that we decided to eat the cost of our "no cancel option pre book" and booked much closer in town after the first night. Our recommendation is: stay closer to Ubud! There are SO many affordable options so much closer in town!

Great Value, Quiet Location Guesthouse
Quiet, Beautiful View, Attentive Staff
8.7
The guesthouse is 5km+ out of Ubud, so you'll need wheels (they can easily help arrange a motorbike), and because of this it's got a stunning ravine location that is exceptionally quiet (despite the busy road out front - you'd never know there was an oasis of peace inside!). Breakfast is fine - not exceptional - but the staff are well-meaning and friendly, and the place is well-managed. Clean room, great a/c (necessary in Indonesia!) and reliable fast internet. Excellent value for money, and worth travelling out of town away from the busy streets.
