Dewa Jati House

Country side atmosphere.close to several tourist attractions in Ubud

We only spent two nights at Dewa's, it's a little removed from the tourist centers and that's the whole point, the zenitude in the middle of the rice fields and the warm welcome from this family really appealed to us. The moderate prices make it excellent value for money.

Kamarnya bersih, View nya sangat indah di antara kebun dan persawahan sehingga udaranya sangat sejuk, lokasi tidak jauh dari pusat keramaian ubud, sangat bagi wisatawan asing apabila menginap di tempat ini

Dewa Jati House review:

We stayed 2 weeks in Oct. '22. It rained every day, mostly all day. This place is outside of Ubud by a long winding rural road. To go anywhere a vehicle is needed. The family was just darling. For a very low cost, lower than cooking for myself, they fed us 3 meals a day delivered to our rooms. The food is ~80% organic and grown by them. They accommodated my gluten free diet and provided for our every need. It was wonderfully quiet with sounds of nature. The premises is masterfully planned and landscaped jungle. They are constantly maintaining it. They have 3 rental units, separate cottages with hot showers, good wifi, clean, comfortable beds, ceiling fans. The shared kitchen is in a tiny hut, with small fridge, 2-burner gas stove and sink. The cottages are set quite a distance from their house along a narrow stepping stone path. The stones are covered with moss and very slippery in wet season. Wear shoes with good treads! We had 2 falls, one with injury as the shoe soles were worn smooth. They gave me a custom cooking class and sharpened my knife! Our total living expenses including meals and rides was lower than any other arrangements we found in Bali. If you crave peace and quiet in nature with no effort to get meals, this is the place!

This place is your dream come true if you:
1) love to be in (beautiful) nature
2) want to disconnect from stressful modern life
3) want to experience Balinese culture

The attentiveness with which the host Dewa and his whole family take care of you is beyond belief. 5 star hospitality that you can feel - they pay attention to your needs and quietly provide accordingly without taking credit. All this is on top of the excellent accommodation: a very adequate and cozy house with a fantastic huge garden and a dreamy gazebo as dining area. You will be surrounded by beautiful nature at all times. The air here is probably the freshest I have ever breathed.

You might think that the area is a bit out of the way but we found it to be not the case. To us it is a better base to explore Ubud than the touristy and crowded city centre both in terms of travel time to attractions and cost of living saved. It's close to Mount Batur, the famous water temple, the Tegallalang rice terrace, etc. Our 3 meals are taken care of by Dewa's family (free breakfast, lunch and dinner on request at low cost and good value) during our entire stay. No fuss, no time wasted. There is more to praise but I'll leave you to discover the magic.

We stayed at Dewa house for a few nights and it was the best time we spent in Bali. The room is located in peaceful area with green surroundings and you can't hear any traffic noise. It is also perfect location for doing yoga or meditation because you have private place and all you can hear is only sound of nature. Dewa and his family is so lovely and hospitable, they do everything for well being of the guests. You can rent a motorbike with them, get a taxi from/to the airport, book a hiking tours, eat fruits from their garden and you can also have lunch or dinner in their guesthouse (very cheap and delicious food, also available vegetarian options). We joined with family to the traditional ceramonies and we learned a lot about Balinese customs. Living with this family was genuine experience, we will go back there before we will leave the island. I really recommend staying with Dewa if you love nature, non tourist place and if you want spend nice time with Balinese family.
