We really enjoyed our stay at Alam Pracetha Bali and got to experience the traditional Balinese feeling. The host, Kevin, and his family were super super kind and extremely helpful right from the start of our stay to the end which made us feel welcomed and at home. Kevin was helpful with any questions we had and he was also really nice to chat with. You can also rent motorbikes from him and get help with any activities you want to do in Ubud area. His son was super kind when we arrived to the place and automatically helped us with our luggages without us even asking, same when we left. The rooms were nice with comfortable beds and big bathrooms. The breakfast was super tasty (especially the pancake) and the girl serving the food every morning was really sweet and kind which always put a smile on our face. The overall atmosphere of the place was calming and relaxing, perfect for people who are looking for a peaceful place to stay outside of central Ubud. We also really liked and appreciated that the water was free and refillable in the shared kitchen.

Absolutely nothing. We loved it all.

very nice, quiet place, excellent breakfast, peaceful village, and bathtub. Kevin was so warm and kind. I really enjoyed my stay here

nothing

I stayed with a friend here for 5-nights total. It was super comfortable! There was plenty of space in the room equipped with our own private bathroom. The facilities were clean and the beds were comfortable. They provide towels for you without cost. The room has a ton of great storage options and they also have clothing hangers. They tidy your room upon request. They serve breakfast every morning from 8am-10am. They have a menu selection that you can choose from and you can message Kevin what you would like. They have a small shared kitchen area for guests where you can find a water dispenser and a small fridge. The place comes with a cute orange kitty you might be able to see roaming around. The location is in a nice and quiet neighborhood. I enjoyed staying here after hostel hopping for a month. This is a great way to spoil yourself without breaking the bank. They provide tours and activities as well. I did not know this until after booking all my tours so I recommend taking a look at what they have to offer. I attached an image of their services.

Just want to give a heads up to other travelers that our bathroom was only equipped with toothbrushes and bar soap. We used the bar soap for both hand and body wash. We brought our own shampoo and conditioner to use. There is no hair dryer. Additionally, it was a bit difficult to flag down staff members when we needed help. However, Kevin was incredibly responsive via WhatsApp and would send a staff out for help when requested!

The property is clean, breakfast is good but menu is a bit limited. The room does not have fridge and electric kettle. The property is about 30 minute drive from the city centre and the main means of transport is motor bike or taxi. Kevin (hotel owner) can organise renting bike with or without rider for you.

As a 3 star accommodation, the room should have had a small fridge and electric kettle. The breakfast area is made of glossy stone and is very slippery, a sign could help preventing people from slipping and hurting themselves.

If you're dreaming of an authentic Balinese experience away from the tourist crowds, Alam Pracetha is an absolute gem. This isn't just a hotel; it's a warm invitation into Kevin's family's world. Nestled in the heart of Ubud, the property offers a serene escape surrounded by lush greenery reminiscent of landscapes from my family's roots in Kerala, India. What sets Alam Pracetha apart is the genuine hospitality of Kevin and his family. Their home feels like an extension of their lives, and they graciously welcomed me into their space. I particularly cherished the daily meditation sessions in their tranquil outdoor area. The home-cooked meals were a culinary delight, featuring fresh produce straight from their garden. The taste of their jackfruit brought back fond memories of my mother. It's these small touches that make Alam Pracetha truly special. If you crave a countryside retreat immersed in Balinese culture, look no further than Alam Pracetha. It's a place where you'll feel truly at home.

- Alam Pracetha is a beautiful small guest house. Beautiful, clean rooms with comfy beds (harder mattresses) surrounded by incredible greenery. - Kevin (the owner) was always super nice and helpful, the rest of the staff are great as well. Always smiling :) - Every day we had a yummy breakfast (tea/coffee, lots of fresh fruits, eggs or pancakes). A small kitchen was convenient for making coffee, filling water bottles, storing food in a fridge, or even cooking. - Mind that the place is situated outside of Ubud. It takes around 15min by car/motorbike to reach the center, depending on traffic. Local app Grab or Gojek is helpful, or you can rent a bike. If you want a calm place, it's your go-to! I would love to come back :)

- Wifi is slow. If you need a fast internet connection for work, better find a cafe :) - It's not something I didn't like, but it would be super nice to have an outside space to chill (apart from a patio with table and chairs) - hammock or sunbed. - If you're a light sleeper bring earplugs - some bugs and water sounds from koi fish pond could be a bit loud.

Very nice family business. After few days in Ubud staying close to the center, we wanted a more relaxed and cultural experience. No regrets! They have four rooms available in their family backyard. Everything very private and nicely setup. Cosy garden and common area for breakfast. The room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff received us very well and information on the breakfast and bike to rent. The breakfast was nicely prepared by the owner's daughter, simple but good. I would recommend this place and come back in the next visit.

Nothing much negatively about this place. I can mention that it's bit far from the centre of Ubud, which we knew before. For us it wasn't a big issue as first days in Ubud we stayed closer to the centre and we wanted to relax more. Also we rented a bike which makes things easier. Other small and easy-to-fix things were, no room service (making bed and changing towels), shower head support was broken, so we have to hold it at all times (this was an issue in other commomodations we stayed in Bali as well, maybe it's just how it is) and few rats outside in the garden.

Kevin and his entire family are such wonderful hosts! You’re welcomed to their property but you get treated like you’re apart of their family. Nothing is too much hassle for them, just ask! The breakfast that was provided every day was the perfect start to every day, greeted with smiles and love. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the room is serviced every few days for those staying for a longer time.. I stayed two weeks and was sad to leave. The bed is very comfortable and the air conditioning works very well. The property has well working WiFi throughout. If you’re looking for peace and calmness then this is for you, the property has many tropical plants and a koi pond which makes it very relaxing and oasis like. The main town of ubud is only a 16 min scooter ride. Which Kevin can help you organise if you need one, shops are with in 10mins drive and rice fields with in 10 mins walking. I travelled to north Bali to some waterfalls with in 45mins. I highly recommend Alma Pracetha to couples, solo travellers! Kevin and his family also help support a non profit where they help less fortunate people who are unable to provide for themselves so a portion of your stay goes to helping with that! I can’t wait to come back next year!!

That I couldn’t stay longer

The staff! Everyone is super helpful and friendly. The common area where we have breakfast in nicely decorated and very pleasant to start the day - breakfast is also delicious by the way. The lush garden and the fish pond next to the rooms make this a very peaceful place for a good night of sleep.

The bathroom gets very wet after the shower because the water spills over, so I'd suggest providing two towel-mats to keep the floor dry and prevent accidents.

Really amazing homestay. The family who owned the homestay were the most friendliest people we’ve met on our trip abroad. They were very accommodating. We needed a laundry service to be done within 24 hours and they did that for us too. The rooms and bathroom were very clean. The breakfast was fruit, toast and omlette and coffee with milk. We loved our stay. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you want a peaceful stay.

Only slight negative is the location being far from ubud, however we didn’t see this as a negative because it was in a peaceful location
