The 14-room Lumbung Sari Cottages is a charming mid-range property located in the heart of Ubud. There isn’t much in the way of amenities besides a cafe open for breakfast only, and a small though lovely pool with a swim-up bar and a handful of loungers, but rates are competitive for the location and include Wi-Fi, breakfast, afternoon tea, and shuttle service within the downtown Ubud area. Clean rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, air-conditioning, and electric kettles. Decor is simple in all, but each room has a few local touches, along with a balcony with serene garden views. Some bathrooms, however, could use an update. Travelers seeking something with a few more on-site amenities may want to consider the Agung Raka Resort & Spa, which has two pools and a spa, and is generally a few dollars cheaper.

Junjungan Ubud Hotel and Spa is a wonderfully peaceful boutique-style property surrounded by picturesque paddy fields. While some will love the feeling of remoteness, others might find the setting isolated, despite its location just a 10-minute drive from Ubud.

Although the pool is smallish, the overall quality of facilities is impressive and the rates are more than reasonable for these intimate and serene mid-range lodgings.

Situated 25-minutes north of Ubud, this 17-room, upper-middle-range property is simpler than many in the area, but can be a decent value for couples and families looking for the private villa experience. One- and Two-Bedroom Villas are modern and feature full kitchens and private plunge pools, though the decor and design isn't quite as stylish as many properties in Ubud. The hotel also features an on-site restaurant with free breakfast, an outdoor pool, many activities, and a free area shuttle. Guests looking for a bit more style who don't mind being outside central Ubud may want to check out Kamandalu Ubud, though not all of its authentic villas have pools.

Ketut's Place is a family-run homestay in the foothills of Ubud, just a 10-minute walk from Ubud Palace and the market. Located inside Ketut's idyllic family compound, the homestay offers an intimate view into the daily lives of Balinese families. As such, the property has a lot more personality than its three-pearl competition, and features lots of beautiful Balinese architecture and design details. The homestay over looks a river gorge, and features a small restaurant, a spa, and swimming pool in a relaxed and tranquil setting. The 16 rooms are priced affordably, and have lots of charming personality, though they are a bit worn and Wi-Fi can be weak. As an alternative, The Mawa House has a similarly traditional setting and better-maintained rooms, but lacks the river views.
