Women's trips / Villas & rooms

Villas and rooms in Ubud we have actually walked through

Listing photos are taken on the best day of the year, with the gate open and the generator on. We visit on an ordinary day, check the things that matter when you are alone, and write down the date.

Villas & rooms

Not only villas: rooms at a sensible price

You don’t need a pool villa to sleep well and feel safe. We also check simple rooms in guesthouses and homestays: the same locks, lighting and access road, the same 24-point check, at a price that makes sense for a long stay. Tell us your budget and we’ll send options that fit it.

What “verified” means, and what it doesn’t

  • It means we walked through the villa, checked the 24 points and wrote down the date.
  • It doesn’t mean nothing can go wrong. Things break in the tropics. That is why you get a contact who answers.
  • If a villa is a paid partner, we say so next to its name.

Your shortlist

We inspect villas in central Ubud, Penestanan, Sayan and Singakerta and re-check each one at least every six months. Tell us your dates, budget and area, and we will send you a shortlist of villas that passed.

Questions

Which area of Ubud is best for a woman travelling alone?

Central Ubud if you want to walk everywhere and don’t mind noise. Penestanan and Sayan for quiet with cafés nearby. Singakerta for calm and space, with a car or app rides for evenings.

Do you take a commission?

Sometimes. If we earn from a booking, we tell you before you pay. It never decides whether a villa passes the check.

Can you check a villa I already found?

Yes, if the owner agrees to a visit. Send us the listing on WhatsApp.

How often do you re-check?

At least every six months, and after any complaint from a guest.

Accommodation, transport and tours are provided by licensed partners. SERAYA chooses them, checks them and coordinates your stay. Prices are proposals until we confirm your dates.
