Ala's Green Lagoon Hotels

Ala's Green Lagoon ticks all the boxes. It is located in central Ubud within easy walking distance to restaurants, markets, and the cultural and social activities Ubud has to offer. Yet, it is quiet and secluded tucked behind rice fields. It is an older establishment sumptuously appointed with deep marble baths and big comfortable beds. The rooms are large with a big separate bathroom. The place is very clean. Breakfast is tasty and substantial. I recommend the omelette. The price is affordable, making it remarkable value for money. Add to all that the exceptional hospitality displayed by the owner Nyoman, his family and staff, which makes me return to Ala's Green Lagoon every time I go to Ubud.

An excellent experience considering the price we paid! Hosts and local were extremely friendly and helpful (best hosts we have ever had - no ask is too much) Beer and water on site and cheap, laundry service was completed within hours and packaged nicely Room spacious and cleaned daily - although it would have been nice to have clean towels daily. The air con worked amazing, we’d wake up shivering which is great after a day exploring. Had our own balcony with 2 chairs, a table and a lovely sofa! Breakfast was good and they catered for my peanut allergy well! Had a lovely area next to the pool for eating and drinking. Location is close to the Main Street, however quiet which was perfect! It is down one or two alleys but never did I feel unsafe. Great food options nearby Only critique which isn’t really a critique is not changing towels daily - however I’m sure if we asked they would have!

The breakfast was excellent, especially the Balinese pancakes – definitely a highlight of our stay. However, upon arrival we immediately noticed a musty, moldy smell in the room. We asked for a different room and were only offered a “better” one for an additional fee. We agreed, and the smell was less noticeable there, but the room itself was still not clean or well-maintained. The bed sheets had stains, and the mosquito net over the bed was also stained, with a few spiders hanging out in the corners. Under the bed there were decorative stones, which looked quite nice in theory, but they were completely covered in dust – understandably difficult to clean, but still unpleasant. The bathroom was very worn down, although it seemed to have been cleaned. The balcony railing was covered in bird droppings, which weren’t cleaned during our entire stay, and the tablecloth on the balcony table was dirty as well. Even at breakfast, the tablecloths, cups, and glasses weren’t properly clean. The pool looked more green than inviting – definitely not a place we felt like swimming. All in all, the place has potential, but cleanliness and maintenance need serious improvement.
