Location
Nestled in the heart of the jungle, Doni House & Villas offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views. The location is ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of central Ubud, yet it remains conveniently close to popular tourist destinations such as waterfalls, rice fields and Tegallalang's rice terraces. Although it's about a 10 to 20-minute journey by motorbike or car to the city center, the serene environment more than compensates for the distance.
Guests rave about the spectacular jungle vistas, particularly from the pool and balconies, which provide a stunning backdrop for relaxation. The peaceful setting is perfect for disconnecting from daily life and the entire property exudes the unique vibe of Ubud. Lovely bungalows nestled in nature and a well-maintained environment enhance the overall experience.
Despite being a bit remote, the hotel's beautiful location, combined with its excellent price-quality ratio, attentive staff and delightful breakfast makes it a great choice for travelers seeking a magical and immersive stay in Bali.

Many found the breakfast to be delicious, abundant and well-served, often highlighting specific options such as a floating breakfast or an impressive poolside meal. The breakfast is generally described as good with several choices available and some guests appreciated the well-prepared takeout option provided for early morning tours.
However, feedback on the quantity and variety of the breakfast was mixed. Some guests felt the breakfast was too simple, sparse or limited, suggesting that additional variety could enhance the experience. Overall, while the quality and taste of the breakfast are frequently commended, there are occasional mentions of it being too small or lacking in diversity.
Dinner
At Doni House & Villas, guests have experienced mixed reviews when it comes to dinner at the hotel. On the positive side, several guests have praised the food as tasty and delicious with some noting they had a very good dinner in the evening. There are options for both dinners and snacks available, providing some convenience for dining on-site. However, there are notable drawbacks that guests have pointed out. The food options are limited and the restaurant can close early, making it tricky for those seeking a late meal. Some guests have found the food to be average, cold upon arrival or not very good overall. Service can be inconsistent with occasions where food service was unavailable due to running out of supplies or because the restaurant wasn't cooking at that time. The dining experience includes challenges beyond just the food, such as the smell in the room, humidity and even ant nests in the bed. Moreover, since there are no specific dining options nearby, the limited and occasional unavailability of food at the hotel can be particularly inconvenient for guests.

The bathrooms—particularly those with an outdoor concept—were sometimes found to be less than satisfactory in terms of cleanliness. The establishment also received comments about outdated furnishings and the need for renovations. Issues such as leakages, lack of insulation and a generally run-down feel in some bungalows were highlighted as areas for improvement.
