Last two years, I have been keep on coming back to Kebun Indah, a boutique hotel or guest house in Ubud, Bali.

I was looking for a boutique hotel or guest house in Ubud, Bali, and I found about Kebun Indah on TripAdvisor. Not only Kebun Indah was getting many good review, but also the price was very reasonable. So I decided to stay at Kebun Indah.

Kebun Indah has a SPA called Alam Wangi Spa, situated at the entrance of the guest house.

I paid about $20 (to the best of my memory!) for full 1 hour Balinese massage. It was rally "enak sekali." Indonesian, meaning 'feels good')

I arrived to the hotel very late last time I stayed there. I guess It was about 1 A. M. in the morning.

the check-in process was very smooth. Since they already had my credit card information, they just checked my passport and they led me to the room.

I had to walk down to the house I stayed since the hotel is situated on the hill. But a security person carried my baggage for me.

The entire process were very smooth, and I really appreciated it especially after the flight from Yagyakarta.
