The Property — Londo Bungalows
Londo Bungalows is a quiet, old-school three-star in central Ubud. Its USP is the tiered pool that drops down through dense tropical gardens, giving the place a genuinely cooling, secluded feel minutes from the market bustle. The open-sided lobby smells of frangipani and damp stone — it’s a functional base for independent travellers who want simple, clean rooms with a touch of local carved-wood character, not glossy resort service.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud was once a royal court, and its palace still anchors the town centre. It became a magnet for Western artists in the 1930s, particularly Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet, who helped shape the Ubud Artists’ Association and the modern Balinese painting style. Tourism exploded after the 1970s, but the town has kept its temple-strewn, terraced-rice-field layout. Today it’s the island’s spiritual and wellness hub, balancing yoga retreats with traditional gamelan performances and a fiercely local food scene.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April, May and October — dry, sunny, and slightly cooler mornings, with Ubud less crowded than August and December. Hotels run reliably at or slightly below standard rates.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are Ubud’s peak, driven by European summer holidays and the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival in late October also spikes demand. Hotel prices at Londo Bungalows can jump 30-40% in July; book months ahead.
Budget shoulder season
February and March offer the best budget window: you’ll get 20-30% discounts, rains are shorter intervals (not all-day), and rooms are easy to book even a week out.
Weather & packing
Ubud’s climate is consistently humid year-round, with the coolest mornings around 22°C and afternoon highs near 31°C. Pack a light waterproof jacket (a cheap poncho works) and quick-dry sandals for sudden tropical downpours even in July.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The Monkey Forest Road pedestrianisation trial continues through July 2026 — no cars or scooters 8am-8pm on weekends, so you’ll walk or cycle the busy stretch. Bicycle rental from warungs near Londo Bungalows is common.
- New direct shuttle from Ngurah Rai Airport to Ubud’s main bus terminal (Jl. Raya Ubud) started in May 2026, costing 50,000 IDR each way, cutting taxi scams and traffic time.
- Seasonal note: July is peak for the Ubud Night Market (Pasar Malam) behind the palace, with extended food stalls and live gamelan most evenings.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Londo Bungalows, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms near the front entrance or any common areas, as they suffer more noise from foot traffic and potential street sounds in Ubud's busy centre.
Best views

Quietest floors
Second floor only—the bungalows appear to have two floors, and the upper level is consistently quieter.

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.
