La proprietà — Sari Bambu
Sari Bambu is a quiet, three-star hotel tucked into a side street just south of Ubud’s main market. It feels more like a well-kept family compound than a hotel: a small pool, lush garden patches, and rooms wrapped in traditional Balinese carvings and tilework. The vibe is deliberately low-key—no yoga studios or juice bars—so it suits independent travellers and couples who want a clean, quiet base within walking distance of Ubud Palace and the Monkey Forest, not those after resort-style amenities or a party scene.
Cronache di Ubud
Ubud started as a healing and meditation centre in the 8th century, when the Javanese priest Rsi Markandeya brought Hindu traditions to the Campuhan River valley. The town grew around the Puri Saren royal palace in the late 19th century, but its modern identity was shaped in the 1930s when foreign artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet established a creative colony. That fusion of Balinese ritual and Western modernism turned Ubud into a global hub for art, dance, and craft, and it remains the cultural and spiritual nerve-centre of Bali. Today, the town balances a fast-growing tourism industry with strict local zoning rules that keep buildings low-rise and rice terraces intact just beyond the main roads.
Il momento migliore per visitare
Guida completa di Ubud →I migliori mesi
April, May, October — the tail ends of the dry season, when rainfall is minimal, rice terraces are emerald green, and tourist numbers are still manageable.
Peak / Festival Surge
July–August and December–January are peak. July brings the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival (held later in October, so July is busy mainly from northern hemisphere holidays). Hotel prices can double in August. The Bali Arts Festival runs June–July in Denpasar, which pulls additional visitors to the island but doesn’t directly crowd Ubud.
Stagione di spalla
February, March, and November. These months have more rain—short, heavy afternoon downpours—but hotel prices drop 30–50% and crowds thin significantly. You’ll still get plenty of sunshine between showers.
Meteo e imballaggio
Ubud is cooler than the coast but still humid, with July afternoon temps around 28°C. Pack a light rain jacket or umbrella even in the dry season, because quick tropical showers can blow in without warning—and treat cotton clothing with a fast-dry attitude.
Briefing della città — Ubud
- The Jalan Raya Ubud road widening project is ongoing through late 2026; expect intermittent single-lane closures near the market, especially 10am–4pm. Walk or rent a scooter to avoid taxi delays.
- Ubud Monkey Forest introduced a no-plastic-bag policy in February 2026 and strictly enforces it at the entrance—use a reusable bag for your belongings.
- The Ubud Art Centre reopened its main gallery in March 2026 after a two-year renovation, featuring a new contemporary Balinese sculpture wing.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sari Bambu, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the upper floors (3rd or 4th) for better privacy and reduced street-level noise — these rooms often have a glimpse of surrounding rice terraces over the rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms backing onto the service area or facing the main road directly — they get morning traffic rumble and staff movement from early breakfast prep.
Best views
Rooms on the west side may catch sunset light over the treetops; east-facing rooms get morning sun and a peek of distant rice fields — ask for a high-floor east-facing room if you want a view beyond the road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are generally quietest, as they’re above the noise of the lobby and breakfast terrace.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from scooters and local traffic along Jalan Monkey Forest is the main issue, especially in rooms without double glazing. The hotel's location near the centre means occasional temple ceremony loudspeakers.
Insider tips
1. If you’re on a motorbike, the hotel provides free parking — but request a covered spot to keep the seat cool. 2. Breakfast is served until 10am but the kitchen often makes extra banana pancakes if you ask nicely the night before.
- 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

Moneta e moneta
Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Use ATMs in central Ubud for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux near tourist spots and the airport — they give poor rates and often have hidden fees.
Credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) are accepted in most hotels, mid-range restaurants, and larger shops, but smaller warungs and markets are cash-only; contactless is rare.
Not expected but appreciated — leave 5-10% in restaurants if service charge isn't added; round up taxi fares; tip hotel staff 10,000-20,000 IDR for carrying bags.
Mangiare, fare shopping e viaggiare su un budget
Cheap car hire →Local kopi tubruk (strong filtered coffee) at a warung costs around 10,000-15,000 IDR.
A hearty nasi campur (rice with sides) at a local warung costs about 25,000-35,000 IDR.
A main dish like mie goreng or nasi goreng at a simple restaurant costs 30,000-50,000 IDR.
Night markets and roadside stalls along Jalan Raya Ubud and near the Ubud Market offer cheap eats like sate lilit and bakso starting from 15,000 IDR.
Coco Mart and the larger Karya supermarket are common for basics; prices are slightly higher than local markets but reliable.
The Ubud Market (Pasar Seni) has cheap sarongs, batik shirts, and casual wear; bargain hard — start at a third of the asking price.
A local bemo (minibus) ride within Ubud costs about 5,000-10,000 IDR, but they're irregular; renting a scooter for 70,000-100,000 IDR/day is the most flexible budget option. From the airport, take a public bus (Trans Sarbagita) to Batubulan terminal then a bemo to Ubud for under 50,000 IDR total, or book a shared shuttle online for around 150,000 IDR.
Eat at warungs away from the main tourist strip for half the price of central restaurants. Always pay in IDR, not foreign currency, to avoid unfair exchange rates. Skip the branded tour agencies — rent a scooter and explore the rice terraces yourself.

Principali attrazioni a 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.
