Summary of reviews
Ubud Tropical is highly appreciated for its idyllic location just outside the bustling center of Ubud. Guests enjoy the serene environment with beautiful jungle views and a calming atmosphere that remains conveniently close to local attractions and dining options. Despite being a 20-to-30 minute walk from Ubud's heart, the peaceful setting and the availability of scooter taxis and ridesharing services mitigate the distance. The property features a pool adjacent to the jungle and tranquil common areas, offering a perfect retreat for those looking to avoid the city's hustle and bustle.
The breakfast experience garners mixed reviews. Some guests enjoy the tasty onsite meals offered for an additional fee; however, others find the selection limited and lackluster. While breakfast is not included in the accommodation cost, which some find disappointing, guests can use the available kitchen or explore nearby street breakfast spots for alternatives.
Accommodation at Ubud Tropical includes both private rooms and shared dormitories with the former generally receiving high praise for cleanliness, decor, comfort and minimal noise disturbances. The tents, blending well with the surroundings, also contribute positively to the ambiance. In contrast, the dormitories face criticism for their cramped spaces, lack of ventilation and occasional unpleasant odors with shared bathrooms also needing better maintenance.
Cleanliness at the property is generally well-regarded, especially in private rooms and communal areas. However, shared bathrooms occasionally fall short of expectations with reports of inadequate maintenance and hygiene issues detracting from an otherwise clean environment.
Guests consistently laud the friendly and helpful staff at Ubud Tropical. From assisting with scooter rentals and booking tours to arranging transfers, the team, particularly Sister Komang, is noted for their enthusiastic, professional and responsive demeanor. This level of attentiveness greatly enhances the overall guest experience.
While the serene atmosphere and cozy environment are commonly praised, the property's Wi-Fi remains a significant drawback. Many guests experience slow and unreliable connections with Wi-Fi primarily working only in the lobby area.
The pool at Ubud Tropical stands out as a major highlight. Guests rave about the picturesque, serene environment, surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees, creating a tranquil tropical setting. The well-maintained pool and garden area offer a beautiful retreat, despite occasional mentions of cold water temperatures and the need for more frequent cleanings.
The beds at Ubud Tropical receive mixed feedback. Many guests commend the spacious, comfortable beds with added privacy features in shared rooms, while others criticize the hardness of some mattresses and occasional cleanliness issues.

Review Summaries
Location
Situated just outside the bustling center of Ubud, Ubud Tropical offers a serene escape while still providing easy access to the town's attractions. Though it's about a 20-to-30 minute walk from the heart of Ubud, the location allows for a peaceful environment with beautiful views of the jungle and a deep garden that borders the rainforest.
Guests appreciate the proximity to excellent dining options and local attractions, making it a great base for exploring the area. While the hotel is a bit removed from the main market and on a busy street with some traffic noise, this offset is mitigated by the availability of scooter taxis (Gojek) and Grab services, which offer a quick and inexpensive ride to the center.
The quiet and relaxing surroundings are perfect for those looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. The beautiful location is enhanced by nice amenities, including a pool adjacent to the jungle, sociable yet tranquil common areas and a generally pleasant atmosphere. Though some find the distance from the center a minor inconvenience, the lovely views, serene vibes and convenience of scooter rentals make Ubud Tropical an attractive option for visitors to Ubud.
Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Ubud Tropical has mixed reviews. Some guests mentioned enjoying the delicious meals available onsite for an additional fee, highlighting the tasty dishes they received. However, the breakfast offerings seem to lack variety and are described as quite light and at times boring. It's noteworthy that breakfast is not included in the accommodation price, which some guests found disappointing given the overall cost. For those who prefer to prepare their own meals, there is a kitchen available, though it could benefit from better equipment. Despite these points, visitors can find a nice breakfast spot on the street, presenting an alternative to the limited options available at the hostel.
Rooms
' Ubud Tropical ' offers a mix of accommodation experiences with particular praise for cleanliness and comfort in its private rooms and tents. The rooms are described as very nice, clean, well-decorated and well-maintained with comfortable bedding and prompt room service. The hotel is also conveniently located, not far from the center and provides a peaceful environment with no noise disturbances. The tents, clean and well-kept, blend naturally with the surroundings, adding to the overall appeal.
However, the shared dormitory accommodations are consistently noted for their significant drawbacks. Many reviews highlight the cramped nature of these spaces with insufficient room for luggage and a lack of windows leading to musty odors. Privacy is somewhat mitigated by individual curtains around the beds, though the tight quarters remain a frequent complaint. Some dorms also suffer from a smell of dirty shoes and general overcrowding with many reviewers noting discomfort due to hard mattresses.
While the general condition of the rooms is perceived positively when considering the price, issues with worn furniture, stained linens and small, dark spaces are mentioned. Shared bathrooms are regularly cleaned, but the overall small size of the dormitories and lack of space for personal belongings lead to a less favorable experience for those opting for shared lodging. Despite these issues, the dormitory design allows for some degree of privacy, which is appreciated by guests.
Beds
Ubud Tropical offers a mixed experience when it comes to their beds. Many guests have praised the comfort of the beds, describing them as big, clean and very comfortable. The spacious queen-size beds and the private features in shared rooms, such as charging stations, lights and curtains, have added to the overall positive experience, providing both convenience and privacy. However, not all feedback is glowing. Some guests have found the mattresses to be on the harder side with a few describing them as rock hard and uncomfortable. Concerns about cleanliness were also noted, including dirty gaps between the mattress and wall, worn-out beds and an unpleasant smell from the mattresses. Despite these drawbacks, many guests still found the beds to be of good value for money given the comfort and privacy they offer.
Cleanliness
Ubud Tropical boasts a mixed reputation when it comes to cleanliness. Guests frequently commend the property for its well-maintained overall cleanliness with facilities often described as very clean and the green surroundings adding to its appeal. The shared bathrooms are regularly cleaned and the kitchen, though tiny, functions adequately. However, many reviews indicate that the bathrooms fall short of expectations. Complaints about dirty or poorly maintained restrooms, inadequate shower space and issues such as leaking ceilings and non-functional lights are common. Hygiene in shared rooms has also been criticized with reports of unpleasant odors and dirty floors. Maintenance of beddings and the need for better-equipped kitchen facilities are additional concerns. Despite some positive remarks about the clean hostel environment, it appears that more attention to maintenance and regular cleaning, particularly in the bathrooms and shower areas, is needed to enhance the guest experience fully.
Staff
At Ubud Tropical, guests have consistently praised the staff for their exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. Whether it was assisting with scooter rentals, booking tours including Mount Batur or arranging transfers, the staff has demonstrated an eagerness to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay. Notably, Sister Komang stands out for her constant smile and warm greetings. The team is described as enthusiastic, professional and responsive, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment that enhances the overall experience.
Despite a few comments about limited interaction, the general sentiment reflects a high level of satisfaction with the staff's performance, emphasizing their kindness and attentiveness. The hostel itself boasts a great location, vibrant social atmosphere and impressive amenities such as a shared lounge and pool, contributing to a stay that feels like a tropical paradise. The combination of a welcoming ambiance and diligent staff makes Ubud Tropical a highly recommended destination for travelers.
Wi-Fi
Ubud Tropical offers a serene and cozy atmosphere that many guests have enjoyed, but the Wi-Fi situation leaves much to be desired. Although some have found that the wifi works well, the majority of experiences suggest otherwise. Issues reported include extremely slow speeds, unreliable connections and poor reach to rooms and dormitories. In most cases, Wi-Fi is only available in the lobby, rendering it almost unusable in other areas of the property. Those relying on a strong internet connection might find this aspect particularly challenging during their stay.
Pool
The pool at Ubud Tropical consistently garners high praise from guests, emerging as a standout feature of the hotel. Described as amazing, heavenly and stunning, the pool area offers a picturesque and serene environment, often surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees, making guests feel deeply immersed in a tropical setting. The well-maintained gardens and vegetation add to the tranquility with many noting the beauty of the pool area overlooking the forest, creating a calm and picturesque ambiance.
Guests appreciate the cleanliness of the pool and the overall outdoor space, which includes well-kept common areas and thoughtful amenities. The tropical backdrop and jungle garden surrounding the pool enhance the overall experience, making it not just a place for swimming but a highlight of guests' stays. Others mentioned the existence of two outdoor pools, which further adds to the appeal.
While some feedback included minor notes on the water temperature being quite cold and occasional calls for more frequent cleaning, the overwhelmingly positive sentiments reflect a highly valued and exceptional pool experience. The combination of natural beauty, serenity and attentive maintenance makes the pool at Ubud Tropical a worthwhile feature, contributing significantly to its value for money.
