Beautiful room and nice family
Great place and amazing family, beautiful room. but had constructions the and the room is not isolated so noise of the children, animals and construction was hard to take. But still good value for money

Was touched by Suteja and his family’s warm hospitality. Always there when we need help and recommends places for us to visit. Room was definitely value-for-money, well-maintained and clean. Highly recommended to stay here if you want to have an authentic homestay experience. Place was convenient to visit all the nearby attractions like Ubud palace and art market and has plenty of dining options. Definitely not a place to miss when you’re in Ubud.

Ubud
The family is super friendly. They arranged laundry service and a scooter rental for me. They leave hot water in a thermos with coffee and tea by your door every morning. The breakfast included fresh juice. I kept extending my stay because I was so comfortable. And it’s right in the center of everything. Walking distance to the monkey forest. Next time I’m in Ubud I hope they will have a room for me!!!

Beautiful homestay in the heart of Ubud
We really enjoyed our time in Jangkrik homestay. It is located south of Ubuds main spots and many highlights like the monkey forest are nearby. The homestay lies in a beautiful and quiet backyard with lots of plants, statues and small ponds. the family that runs jangkrik homestay is very friendly and charming. They could give us lots of tips around ubud and were always open for a chat. Every morning we could choose our breakfast from a menu with many different options, a small fruit salad or fruit juice and coffee or tea added and it was always delicious and beautiful. The room was clean and appointed with an AC and a van. So all these surroundings and especially the lovely family made our stay in Bali unforgettable.

This homestay is exceptional! The entire family who run this place is the sweetest family ever! Breakfast was amazing and the family can even help you with hiring drivers for day trips! Over all the rooms were super clean, had hot water, and AC (If you needed it, we didn't the ceiling was more than enough at night!). 10/10 would recommend this homestay & would 100% stay there again!

Perfect homestay in the heart of Ubud
I had a wonderful stay at Jangkrik. From the moment I checked in, the family were super friendly and welcoming without being overwhelming. They helped organise my scooter rental and a sunrise trek at rates that were far better than the other operators around town. The house itself is set back from the main road so it is nice and quiet at night, but it is great to be able to walk out onto the Main Street and be on top of some great cafes and restaurants. It is also only a 5-10 min walk to the Yoga Barn. My room was fabulous, big and super comfortable with a fan and aircon, and a cute balcony to sit and have coffee breakfast that was cooked to order every morning. I am so glad I found Jangkrik for my stay in Ubud, I will be going back! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Nice, spiritual, warm , homely
Everything was well except for some tidiness issues when it comes to cleaning up bedding, blankets which the cleaner lady failed to do on the first day & the owners need to know about this. The blanket covers , blankets & bed was not done till I asked them to do for me after checking in They are all a lovely bunch of people otherwise Also a bell for room service or any other enquiry is important, inconvenient to go downstairs if you are on the top floor & would save us energy & will help retain their privacy. I would definitely suggest this tranquil place to my friends .

Beautiful homestay un a great location
We loved this homestay, we originally booked 2 night but extended for the rest of our stay in Ubud. Great location, in the middle of hanoman street which is where you will find great food and lots of shopping. The owners are so kind, always asking how your day was. We wake up every morning to hot water on our balcony for coffee or tea and they make a delicious breakfast when you're ready for it! I would highly recommend this homestay. They also have AC and fans in the room for maximum comfort. In regards to any of the bad reviews, you're paying $20, you will not get 5 star quality. But I think that this homestay is a great deal and worth more than what you pay. BEWARE, if you are using maps.me app, the location is wrong! Use google maps and you will not have a problem, or ask the locals, Balinese people are always willing to help!

Another highly rated dud
The people were friendly but sadly this is an older run down home-stay in a town with virtually unlimited competition of better value. It would have to rank in the bottom quartile.

Tranquil oasis in the busy city centre!
The staff at this homestay were so friendly - I loved my time here. Booked for 3 nights initially and ended up staying 7 - and when I go back to Ubud I'll definitely stay here again. It's in a really busy area on one of the main roads in the city centre - but the actual homestay is set far back from the road so it's really quiet, like a little oasis. So tranquil and I loved the leafy courtyard area in front of the rooms. Lovely!

Mould smell in room and overbooked
I arrived and the room I booked was unavailable. She offered another fab only and when I refused she asked me to come back and she would see the person in the room and ask her to move. I ended up round the corner at her brothers. Nasic but clean and aircon and wifi worked. I found another guy had ended up there because of the same reason. When I finally got a room(5) it smelt strongly of mould the entire time meaning I had to leave the fan and Aircon on to clear the smell. Aircon generated a marked vibration. Bed felt damp the first night. A fountain ran all night next to the room. So if you sleep lightly it may bother you. Outside area was pretty, they were very friendly and breakfast was fine. Overall I wouldn't use them again.

Go the extra mile to serve guests
Jangkrik is perfectly located in the heart of the new Ubud. Ubud's centre, has indeed seemed to change, and this home-stay is in the perfect position to both access services, and yet still provide Balinese peace for which a true Bali holiday demands. The room and home-stay was clean, well-resourced and service from the family was impeccable. They respected privacy and yet were attentive, even though I was not a long-term guest. The room verandah offered delightful views of the home-stay and family as they went about daily life. Truly Balinese in service, interest and design flair. I was particularly impressed well attention to service and speed of that service. My request was not impossible, but would have been easy to ignore: quick booking on a shuttle bus to Lovina. The manager booked for me and did the legwork with no commission. It appeared that if not an important village personality, he had his finger on the pulse of services and village life. Breakfast was served quickly and was a delicious welcome to Bali- fruit and a banana jaffle.

Favourite place we've stayed at in Bali!
Tucked away just off one of the main roads it is a typical a Balinese house, absolutely stunning! The dogs are a bit scary at first but once they get to know you they're just the cutest. The house is in an excellent location. Very friendly people and a delicious breakfast was made for us even though we got up quite late at 11:30. We got a 'special deal' for a fast boat to Gili T from them which was 600,000 IDR return trip each. The company which took us to Gili T was pretty good (everything always seems a bit sketchy at first but turns out fine in the end). We didn't get breakfast on the morning we left but we didn't ask for it so that could've been why.

Nice homestay close to Yoga Barn
We enjoyed our stay at Jangkrik. The homestay is tucked in, protected from the craziness of the Ubud streets. It's a very pretty property with nice rooms and a great view from the balcony. The host family is very sweet and made delicious breakfasts each morning. It's just a 5 minute walk to Yoga Barn and a 15 minute walk to most of the top restaurant/bar options, with many options close-by and on the way, too.

My Stay in Ubud
Overall it was a nice stay where you can feel just as staying in a house. The family is nice. They will assist you with your needs, tours, transport, etc at reasonable price. The breakfast is good. I am not so sensitive with noise when sleeping so I had a comfortable sleep. For the price, I got what I paid for. Fair enough. It's basic but you get what you need. Overall I should say it's a good pleace to stay if you're a budget traveler.

All you need in center of Ubud
The rooms are clean, and simple. Very convenient location in Ubud on a central road, close to most attractions. Breakfast is amazing, it is a different meal everyday, cooked fresh by the owner. This is nice homestay, it is a bed and breakfast kind of place, do not expect a luxurious apartment. The room has a bed, nightstand, wardrobe, sink and washroom with shower and toilet. Hot water is consistent. Each room has a patio or terrace with a seating area in which breakfast is served. Internet connection is good. The host is very friendly. I would recommend this homestay if you are looking for simple, conveniently located accommodation with a great breakfast to start your day.
