Awesome stay
We loved Mawa House. We stayed 4 nights in Feb 2019. - Breakfast was excellent every day - Fresh Fruit plate and the Nasi Goreng was excellent served right on our patio. (menu was available to pick) - All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. - Room was very clean, spacious, with traditional touches like the Balinese bathroom door, air-conditioning, small safe for valuables, & lots of closet space. - The hotel is located on the south side of the Monkey forest (a 1-minute walk away) coming from town. This makes it a 20-25 minute walk to the centre of town (Market and Palace). It is removed from all the noisy bars and busier streets, so it's perfect if you want somewhere that's relatively central, but on the quiet side. Would definitely recommend.

Guest House was suitably located away from main Ubud, but short walking distance to all the fun. The staff ever very helpful and felt like a guest in their house. With only a few rooms, it was prefect and even have the pool to yourself. Whilst remembering this a guest house the only negtive points were, the bed whilst comfortable it did creak when you moved and small ants could be annoying, but you are in Bali after all. The room and facilities were good and clean, shower was great, water was really hot. Loved it.

Really good for a 3 star
Really Good for a 3 star but relatively basic. Really friendly people and great little pool. It’s in a good location and is walkable to the main centre but you do have to walk along a dark track alongside the monkey forest.

Excellent stay near the monkey forest
We loved the clean interior with traditional touches like the Balinese bathroom door , stone tiled bathroom and warm lighting. The staff were very helpful and friendly and invited us to learn more about local culture if interested. Mr Mawa is a master woodcarver and we took home a great walk decoration as a souvenir! Our power did cut off once but this was quickly recitified. Indonesia breakfast was served to our door and delicious. Finally you are so close to the monkey forest and delicious small eateries we loved it. About 30 mins walk to downtown ubud (art market) so if that’s where you want to be this May be a bit far u less you rent a bicycle or scooter. Overall we highly m recommend as it is an outstanding value for price!

Small friendly hotel with pool
Lovely spacious room with mosquito net. The en suite has a large rainfall shower with running hot water. The room had a Kettle with coffee and tea. Good choice of breakfast that you order the night before, and arrange a suitable time to have it served on your terrace or balcony. Staff were polite, friendly and accommodating. Take a torch with you if you plan to walk passed the Monkey Forest which is the quickest way into Ubud centre.

Friendly and quiet
We loved Mawa House. We stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018. - Breakfast was excellent every day - we thought the Nasi Goreng here was better than from any of the nearby Warungs. - All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. - Room was very clean, spacious, and with everything you'd hope for... great showers, air-conditioner did exactly what it was supposed to do, small safe for valuables... - Pool is on the small side, but clean, well kept, and pretty. Nice to sit next to it and read. - The place next door organised cheap shuttle-bus to our next destination, which meant we didn't have to lug our bags into town. - The hotel is located on the far side (just south) of the Monkey forest (a 1-minute walk away) coming from town. This makes it a 20-25 minute walk to the centre of town (Market and Palace), which can feel like a long way in the humid weather. On the other hand, you're removed from all the noisy bars and busier streets, so it's perfect if you want somewhere that's relatively central, but on the quiet side. Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend
We would highly recommend staying at Mawa House. The villa we stayed in was clean, had a comfortable bed, and a large modern bathroom. The pool was great, if a little cold, and clean. The breakfast was nice. The area was great, away from the busy town centre of Ubud, and a 15-20 minute walk to town around the exterior of the monkey forest where we were always entertained by straying monkeys. The staff were friendly, however sometimes difficult to find given the family style guest house set up.

Bali Spring Break
Mawa House was a wonderful getaway in Ubud. The staff and owner were so kind and courteous. If you like to be in a quieter area of Ubud, this place is perfect. Breakfasts are wonderful with a choice between Indonesian or Western, served on your private balcony at the time that is convenient for you. It is right next to the monkey forest, 20 minute walking to Ubud center.

Great place for a relaxing stay
We sayed two nights at Mawa House, the place is very clean and we were lucky enough to get a room upstairs at the very end. The room is big with a large bathroom. The mattress is good but the bed a bit unstable. One of our highlights was the breakfast was delivered to your room so you can sit outside and have breaky. Location is also great, close to the centre but still very quiet.

Quiet and pretty -friendly family owned hotel.
Great spot away from busy centre of Ubud so quiet. You need to get taxi or ride scooter to get to centre of Ubud but that aspect is easily accommodated at the hotel. Lovely pool small but in beautiful garden settling by the rooms. We stayed upstairs in rooms with balcony. I would stay there again. A Balinese village type experience rather than the big resort type-experience. Private rooms upstairs.

Beautiful Ubud Oasis
Mawa House is the perfect little oasis within easy walking distance of busy Ubud's Monkey Forest Road. The small garden and pool around which 5 rooms are situated is a sanctuary, and everything is tasteful, natural, clean and designed for comfort. It's everything you need and nothing you don't. The mosquito netting is especially welcome, as it allows you to sleep with the door open! Breakfast is wonderful - served right to your patio whenever you request. I can't say enough good things about Mawa House and the lovely staff. The only downsides are the relative low privacy of the lower-level rooms (the tradeoff was being literally 5 steps from the pool, which was ideal with a kid), and the weak wifi - which is a Bali problem generally. If you wanted more privacy, request one of the upstairs rooms or a room behind the pool house. Staff met every request with a smile, including mosquito coils anytime, extra towels, laundry, etc. We'd thought of moving on partway through our trip, but ended up staying at Mawa House the whole time because it just felt like home. I couldn't have been happier with our very comfortable 2-week stay here!

Mawa House was great! Never received any greater service. The manager was so friendly and helpful! The hotel is quite Balinese unlike any other hotels so it was a whole new experience for me. The breakfast was awesome as well. They bring your breakfast to your balcony and you can just sit there, enjoy the sunshine and your breakfast, which is delicious! The only small downside for me was that the place is near the monkey forest and you have to walk through it to get to the city centre (about 15-20mins and Ubud is quite hot and humid). But if you know how to ride a scooter, then you can just rent one from the hotel and should not be a problem. Mawa House is quite special. Will definitely stay here again

What a great place to stay. It has charm that I haven't come across before in a homestay. Its as if you are staying in a tropical sanctuary. The rooms were excellent, the food was perfect and the family were amazing. Very highly recommended. I travel for my job and I have stayed in hundreds of hotels. This homestay has out done.....probably all of them!

Fabulous stay at quaint Mawa House
We adored Mawa House. I have been to Ubud four different times and have always stayed somewhere different. In the future I will not hesitate to go back to Mawa House. The location was superb, a short walk through monkey forest into Central Ubud and a quiet neighborhood off the main drag. The staff was gracious, kind, and overall fabulous. The breakfast was fantastic and the pool was gorgeous. Not a single bad thing to say about this place. Stay here!!!

Slice of paradise
Mawa House is set amongst a beautiful tropical garden. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the breakfast delicious, and the staff were lovely. A bit of a walk through the monkey forrest into town, not too taxing, the monkeys kept to themselves, taxis to and from are readily available and cheap too.

Loved this hotel. We got 2 rooms on the ground floor overlooking the pool, just lovely! They offer very nice lunches at a very good price, so tasty. Good location, restaurants and small shops nearby. Taxi to Ubud centre only 50,000 rupiah, £2.50 or you can walk through Monkey Forest about 20 min walk. Very pleasant staff, would stay again 😀

Lovely, quiet hotel, minutes from Ubud centre
This was our second time in Ubud and first time at Mawa House. Last year, we stayed in a large hotel complex and this year, we wanted a more authentic stay, not just living next to tourists, but locals. And we did. We loved it!! Staff at Mawa House are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are very clean, quite large and the bathrooms modern and very clean. The bed was super comfortable. The swimming pool seems small, but is still fine for swimming (8 leaps). Breakfast (included in price) was delicious, with fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast bread, jam, eggs or rice dish, coffee, tea, etc. Itś served on your balcony/terrace, which we loved. The hotel also rents out motorbikes/scooters and push bikes, quite cheaply. What was also great was the fact that we could have privacy and peace and quiet, to relax, but we could also easily venture into Ubud town centre, which was just a 5 to 10 minute walk. Wifi worked well. You get 2 little water bottles free of charge every day. All in all, a great stay and weĺl be back!

Paradise in Bali
We stayed at Mawa House recently. This is a fabulous place to stay. The staff were great and the grounds are immaculate. At night , we would wander down to the local Warung. It is very conveniently located and is out of the rat race's the rat race of Central Ubud. The hotel is located at the back of the family's home so you get a cultural treat as well by partipating in daily activities again. This has been a fabulous experience for us and we will definitely return.

I loved the Mawa House with beautiful balian garden and cozy atmosphere. The Chilihouse Cottage & Grill on the opposite side of the street serves great indonesian food and has nice accommodation as well. We stayed in both places and enjoyed both. The breakfasts were identical (from Chili's kitchen) and the neighbours seemed to work closely together otherwise as well.

Great little place, hidden away from the chaos.
We really loved this place. It's peaceful and tucked away from the busier streets of Ubud. Beautifully decorated with a nice pool area, and the breakfast brought to our patio was a nice touch. Also a very quick walk to the Monkey Forest, although not an easy taxi ride since drivers have to go around the forest. Loved the place overall and we would definitely stay again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, staff are super friendly and helpful, you have breakfast served to you on your own personal balcony/terrace and its good food! Room and bathroom were immaculate and easily 4 star standard. Whole place is really chilled out and perfect distance from the busy central Ubud. Can't fault it, great value.
