The Rice Joglo Eco-Stay

loved the location, nice quiet, beautiful walk into town

Set amongst the rice fields you are transported to another world of villages, farming, but with mixed among villas, spa retreats and very close to Ubud center.

The "rice joglo" villa we stayed in is a fair bit away from the main Rice Joglo estate, about 20-25 mins walk on narrow ways with very busy bike traffic. If they offer you free breakfast, its going to be a bit of a walk up and down. The shower soap smell was funny and didn't seem to lather. Plenty of construction around, the rice fields are slowly being taken over by tourist oriented stays and creating some eye sores.

A great location, right in the middle of nature but close enough to the city. Spacious rustic rooms with a view. We liked the general ambiance, the animals, the pool and complementary breakfast. The staff was great and made us feel at home.

The breakfast was enjoyable and included several vegetarian and vegan options, which we appreciated. The staff was kind and welcoming. Additionally, the staff provided excellent and efficient laundry service. Though the place was hard to get to for a family of five, the staff made it as easy as possible with the narrow walk that is provided. The brought our belongings up and down during check in and check out. It was nice being close to central Ubud.

The location was more inconvenient than the reviews and description let on. The twenty minute walk through rice fields is also very narrow and poorly lit. My son almost fell into a gutter twice while scooters were passing through. I think this is something western kids might be unfamiliar with so it's more unsafe and unfamiliar for us. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and did not have hot water. Overall, the accommodation is not suitable for every family of five, but certainly could be for some. Because of the open window concept of the eco lodge, there were many mosquitos, and more could have been done to make us comfortable- like repellent. Additionally, the photos shown online were misleading and did not accurately represent the quality of the property.
