Das Eigentum — Pondok Carik
Pondok Carik is a calm, no-frills three-star in central Ubud, built around a central garden with a modest pool. Expect simple but clean rooms, traditional Balinese touches like carved wood and local textiles, and a small open-sided restaurant serving Indonesian staples. It suits independent travellers who want a quiet base within walking distance of the palace and monkey forest, not luxury or resort-style amenities. Standing at the check-in desk, you smell frangipani and hear the clatter of scooters filtering in from the street — it’s honest, local and functional.
Chroniken von Ubud
Ubud began as a minor market town and a centre for Balinese medicine and healing, later becoming a royal seat in the 19th century when the local kingdom consolidated power. The town gained its modern identity from the 1930s, when Western artists — notably German painter Walter Spies and Dutch musician Colin McPhee — settled here and sparked a renaissance of painting, dance and music. That cross-cultural energy still defines the town: temples, family compounds and workshops share the river-valley ridges with yoga studios, galleries and boutique hotels. Today Ubud is the cultural and spiritual heart of Bali, known globally for its craft markets, rice terraces and a festival calendar that draws creative visitors year-round.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Ubud-Guide →Die besten Monate
April, May and September are the sweet spot — sunny mornings, brief afternoon showers, lower humidity than the wet season, and noticeably fewer tourists than July–August.
Peak / Festival Surge
August is the busiest month, driven by European summer holidays and the Bali Arts Festival (June–July) spilling over into August. Hotel prices in Ubud can double; book at least three months ahead.
Budget Schulter Saison
October and February offer cheapest rates: October’s tail end of dry season still has good weather; February is rainy but quieter, with sudden downpours that clear quickly.
Wetter & Verpackung
Ubud sits at 200–300m elevation, so it’s a few degrees cooler than the coast but still hot and humid — expect 27–32°C day, 22–24°C night. Pack a light rain jacket or umbrella even in July, and always have long trousers and a sarong for temple entry.
Live City Briefing veröffentlicht — Ubud
- Ubud’s main road (Jl. Raya Ubud) now has timed one-way traffic from 7–9am and 4–7pm to reduce gridlock — scooter or walk to avoid delays.

- New café and co-working space ‘Tanah Buku’ opened in March 2026 near the Ubud Market, serving locally roasted coffee and free Wi-Fi for guests.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pondok Carik, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper-floor rooms at the back of the property away from the street. These get less traffic noise and more privacy from the neighbouring houses.
Rooms to avoid
Ground-floor rooms near the front entrance or the small reception area — they catch street noise from motorbikes and early-morning check-out chatter.
Best views
Rooms at the rear or side with rice-field glimpses (common for Ubud properties). Ask specifically for a 'sawah view' when booking.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are the quietest, especially rooms not facing Jalan Raya Ubud or the parking area.
🔊 Noise notes
Ubud's main roads have constant motorbike traffic from dawn until late evening. The property's own breakfast area can get busy between 7:30-9am.
Insider tips
Request a room on the second floor during check-in — lifts are rare in 3-star Ubud hotels, so stairs only. Also, ask for a fan in addition to AC: rooms can get humid even with the aircon on.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top-Attraktionen in Ubud
💡 Haggle firmly but politely – start at 30% of the asking price. Go at 8am before the tour buses arrive. Avoid the stuff sold near the palace, it's mass-produced.
💡 Pop in for 15 minutes between 9am and 5pm when the lotus flowers are open. No sarong needed – they lend them at the entrance for free.
💡 Start from the north end near the Ibah Hotel for a quieter stretch. The walk is about 2km round trip but you can extend onto dirt trails if you want more.
💡 Leave your sunglasses and loose items in your bag. Monkeys will snatch them. Go after 4pm when it's quieter and the light is softer for photos.
💡 Skip the busy main path – take the steep stairs down to the left of the waterfall for a quieter spot to swim. Go early on a weekday to avoid crowds. Bring swimsuit and towel.
