“Welcome Home!” was exactly how Jero Griya greeted me—a Balinese home and the perfect way to finish my time in Bali. Ayu and Agung are such kind hosts; you can tell they love having guests. They’ve traveled the world extensively themselves and enjoy welcoming visitors to their homestay. They also love sharing all their knowledge about Balinese culture—I learned so many interesting things. Whether it’s for excursions, transportation, laundry, or if you want to spontaneously tag along to the market or a temple—the two of them, along with Bagus from the team, make everything possible. In the morning, there’s a delicious, homemade breakfast if you’d like. I was also very lucky with the other guests, and so we’d often sit together in the morning for a chat over coffee. The room was very large and spacious, and the balcony offered a beautiful view of the gorgeous garden. The rooms were cleaned every day and the towels were changed—great service! It’s a ten‑minute walk down to Ubud Palace, but there are also plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby. It’s not far to the rice fields, either. If you’re looking for an authentic and homey stay in Ubud, then stay at Jero Griya!
