my stay was excellent because getting to wake up every morning with the sounds of the birds and pool flowing then i am relaxing peacefully getting served breakfast every morning which is beautiful, i 100% recommend the banana pancakes otherwise a nice omelette. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are perfect, location is close by to everything like the restaurants. i recommend you stay here at La Meli Villas!

Nice and spacious room with pool right in front. Room was clean. Shower and toilet are not as beautiful as the rest of the room. Two free bottles of water were provided every day. Scooter rental available!

We stayed at Lameli for 3 months. I’m not sure they do long-term stays anymore. It’s beautiful villa with a beautiful view. It's definitely worth spending some time getting in touch with nature in this villa!

Pros –
1. Beautiful view: facing the jungle. It’s amazing to spend so much time surrounded by nature. The living room is open concept with 2 fans that really helps in the hot afternoons. Lovely view! You can really connect with nature at this villa.
2. Staff: Staff are amazing. Putra is always, always available no matter when you message him. He’s so diligent and hardworking. Made our stay so much better!
3. Good for remote working: They have a table and chair facing the jungle, so it’s a really nice place to work from (if you work remotely). They gave us an extra table and chair when we asked – really convenient.
4. Lots of light: not just natural light, but they had lamps and pot lights.

Cons –
1. Location: It’s a little far from the centre of town so you need a motorbike to get around, but that’s normal for Ubud. Takes 30 minutes to walk into town. Bella pizza is next door for late night cravings – good pizza!
2. Open concept: As with all open concept homes, you can’t stay out past 6 pm without getting bitten to death by mosquitos.
3. Wet and moldy in bedroom: We found that our clothes started to develop mold after a few weeks. It’s the reality of living next to nature and in Ubud, but we had to take all of our clothes out of the bedroom so they wouldn’t develop mold. We have lived in other villas in Ubud and didn’t have to deal with mold to that extent.
4. Two levels: The villa has two levels. Bedrooms are at the lower level, which isn’t fun to lug your suitcases up and down. It’s also a hassle to come up for water or snacks at night. It gets really dark with giant geckos so going up those stairs at night isn’t ideal.
5. Pool is small.

The place was very nice and it was quiet clean in the main living area. However we were disappointed with the cleanliness of our room and also the pool was very cold which meant we didn’t really get to use it at all.

We found it a bit too far out of town and found it annoying to find transportation each day and it added to the cost of our holiday. We were also underwhelmed with breakfast as it seems to travel a bit of a distance resulting in room temp soggy pancakes and toast. We were delighted however to find a healthy restaurant nearby.

I wish I could give them a higher star rating as it was well designed and I liked the decor. The layout is great and the outdoor area was very nice also. Just those other things really let me down.

Wow. This place is heaven on earth. We stayed in a single king private room with a semi-private pool. The staff were amazing and helped us arrange a sunrise hike of Mt Batur as well as a scooter rental. The scooter was delivered right to our front door. The room was cleaned every day and was always nice to crawl into a freshly made bed. It is about a 5 minute scooter ride to Ubud center but it is nice to have the peace and quiet. Highly recommend!

This villa looked exactly as it does in its advertisements. The owner was very helpful and communicated timely. He helped me set up transportation from the airport. The driver was very nice and eager to be my driver, but I learned later that his prices are outrageous. He charged me more to take me to Bali Swing (in Ubud!) than he did to pick me up from the airport (in Densapar). I'd say compare fares in travel sites prior to coming so that you know what a fair pricing range would be. I really didn't explore all that this villa had to offer because I had so many tours booked. The downside to this villa is that it's not on a main road. There was a store/cafe down the road, but I'm not an animal lover and there were so many dogs roaming the streets. If you decide to stay here, then get some snacks for after hours.
