The Property — Pertiwi Bisma 1
Pertiwi Bisma 1 is a no-nonsense three-star hotel tucked off Jalan Bisma, a quieter lane a short walk from Ubud’s main strip. The lobby is open-air with polished concrete floors and a few carved wooden accents, and the dominant sound is the River Ayung rushing below. Rooms are basic but clean, with small balconies that overlook dense tropical foliage — it suits budget-conscious travellers who want to be near Ubud’s yoga studios, warungs and temples without paying resort prices.
Chronicles of Ubud
Ubud began as a minor village of healers and holy springs, but became a cultural hub in the 1930s when Western artists like Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet settled here, fusing Balinese traditions with modernist painting. The town’s architecture remains low-rise and temple-heavy, with the Puri Saren royal palace at its centre, though uncontrolled villa development now sprawls into the surrounding rice terraces. Contemporary Ubud is Bali’s yoga-and-vegan capital, hosting the annual Ubud Writers & Readers Festival and drawing a mix of spiritual seekers, digital nomads and luxury travellers.
Best Time to Visit
Full Ubud guide →Best months
April, May and June: dry season has settled, humidity is lower than July-August, and the tourists are fewer than the peak July-August window. Rice terraces are electric green.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: European summer holidays and the Ubud Royal Dinner and cultural parades in June-July drive the crowds. Hotel rates at properties like Pertiwi Bisma 1 can double, and booking 3-4 months ahead is essential.
Budget shoulder season
September and October: still dry, but schools are back so crowds thin out; room rates drop 20-30%. November also works but expect short afternoon downpours.
Weather & packing
Ubud’s valley location makes it noticeably cooler than the coast, with mornings often foggy. Pack a light rain jacket even in ‘dry’ season — a sudden shower is common — and always bring a sarong for temple visits; many temples lend them but having your own saves time.
Live City Briefing — Ubud
- The bypass road work on Jalan Raya Ubud has been causing afternoon congestion since late 2025; allow an extra 20 minutes for airport transfers or trips to Tegallalang terraces.
- Several new plant-based eateries have opened along Jalan Bisma, including Suka Suka, a zero-waste café with composting toilets and local craft beer.
- Monkey Forest Road is now a 24-hour one-way north-south street due to pedestrian safety measures; be careful crossing if you're staying south of the forest.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pertiwi Bisma 1, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second or third floor facing the garden or pool, away from Jl. Bisma. These floors balance quietness and easy stair access (no lift), and the garden side buffers street noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (noisy from foot traffic and lobby activity) and any room facing Jl. Bisma — this is a main road through Ubud, with motorbikes and taxis from early morning until late evening.
Best views
Garden or pool view from upper floors — over the hotel grounds, not the road. Street-facing rooms look onto Jl. Bisma traffic and parked vehicles.
Quietest floors
Floors 2 and 3, especially rooms set back from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
Jl. Bisma is a busy one-way street with constant motorbikes, car drop-offs, and pedestrian traffic. Early-morning temple ceremonies nearby can also be loud. The hotel has no soundproofing typical for its 3-star rating.
Insider tips
1) If you have heavy luggage, request a lower floor (first or second) because there is no lift — stairs only. 2) Ask for a room away from the lobby and breakfast area; by 7am it gets chatty with guests and staff prepping.
- 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 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.
