The Property — Koming house
Koming House is a compact, no-frills three-star in central Ubud. Its lobby feels like a modest, clean homestead: tiled floors, a few potted plants, and a quiet check-in desk. The USP is price and location — you're minutes from the Ubud Market and the Monkey Forest, but tucked away enough to sleep. It suits backpackers and budget-minded travellers who treat the room as a base for exploring.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud began as a small gathering of Brahmin families in the 8th century, becoming the royal seat of the Gianyar kingdom by the 1800s. Its distinctive architecture — thatched roofs, carved stone temples, and open-air bale pavilions — grew from Balinese Hindu traditions and a 1930s influx of European artists seeking inspiration. Today, Ubud is Bali’s cultural heart, famous for its dance performances, yoga retreats, and the neighbouring rice terraces of Tegallalang. The city balances a thriving wellness tourism industry with deep religious life, visible in daily offerings and temple ceremonies.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April, May, and June — dry season mornings are sunny, afternoons may have short showers, and tourist numbers are moderate. Perfect for temple visits and rice-field walks without the July-August crowds.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest peak season, driven by European school holidays and Australia’s winter escape. Hotel rates at Koming House can jump 30-50%, and Ubud’s streets are thick with traffic and tour groups. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in October also draws a literary crowd but is less intense.
Budget shoulder season
September and October offer the best value: dry weather still holds, crowds thin after August, and room discounts of 15-25% are common. November’s wet start can also bring lower rates, though expect more rain.
Weather & packing
Ubud sits in a volcanic highland basin, so mornings are often cool at 22°C and afternoons can hit 30°C with sudden tropical downpours. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a sarong — required for temple entry — and always carry an umbrella.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The new Ubud Bypass road, opened in 2024, has eased traffic on Jalan Raya Ubud, but the main market area still sees daily gridlock from 3-6pm.
- Several new co-working spaces have opened around Monkey Forest Road, signalling a shift toward digital-nomad visitors even in off-peak months.
- Monkey Forest itself has introduced timed-entry tickets (IDR 80,000) to manage crowds, so book at least a day ahead during July 2026.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Koming house, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper-floor rooms (floors 3–4) facing away from the main road to minimise street noise and gain some tree canopy views. Corner rooms on these floors are quieter and slightly larger.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the lobby or stairwell – they pick up foot traffic and reception noise. Also avoid rooms directly above the small bar/breakfast area (likely ground or first floor) as chair scraping and early morning prep can be heard.
Best views
Upper-floor rooms facing the back (north-east side) overlook the neighbouring rice paddies and gardens, offering a typical Ubud green view. The front side faces the road and local shop rooftops.
Quietest floors
Floors 3–4 are quietest, with less street-level noise and fewer passers-by.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel sits on a busy one-way lane in central Ubud – expect motorbike noise from early morning until late evening. The breakfast area (ground floor) creates clatter from 07:00–10:00. A small temple opposite may have occasional ceremonies with gamelan music, usually announced by the front desk.
Insider tips
1) Request a room on floor 3 or 4 and specify 'quiet side away from road' when booking – the staff are used to this request. 2) The hotel has a small car park (4–5 spaces) – reserve it in advance if you're driving; otherwise, park at the Ubud Market car park a 5-min walk away.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Indonesian Rupiah, IDR
Best rates from money changers on Jalan Monkey Forest or Jalan Hanoman, but check the official rate first and count your cash before walking away; avoid airport and tourist office exchanges as they give poor rates.
Cards accepted at mid-range hotels, upscale restaurants and bigger shops, but most warungs, local shops and taxis expect cash; contactless is rare.
Not expected but appreciated: 5-10% at nicer restaurants if service charge isn't added, round up taxi fares, and IDR 10,000-20,000 per bag for hotel porters.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A small black coffee (kopi hitam) at a local warung costs around IDR 10,000-15,000.
Nasi campur (rice with side dishes) at a warung is about IDR 25,000-40,000.
A main of mie goreng or nasi goreng at a local eatery is roughly IDR 30,000-50,000.
Warungs and carts along Jalan Monkey Forest and the central market sell satay, bakso, and fresh fruit juices for under IDR 30,000.
Supermarkets like Coco Mart and local mini-marts are common and cheaper than tourist-area convenience stores.
Local market stalls around Ubud Market and Jalan Raya Ubud offer batik, sarongs and casual wear; negotiate hard.
Walking is the cheapest way around central Ubud; for longer trips use a ride-share scooter (Gojek/Grab, about IDR 10,000-15,000 per km). From the airport, the cheapest public way is the Kura-Kura bus (IDR 50,000) to Ubud or a shared shuttle (IDR 100,000-150,000).
Eat at warungs away from main tourist roads where prices drop by half; buy large drinking water gallons (19L) from supermarkets for refill rather than single-use bottles; book activities direct with local guides rather than through hotel desks.

Top Attractions 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.
