Ceria House Ungasan Uluwatu

Ceria House is a guesthouse on Jl. Langui in Ungasan, a few minutes off the main road in a residential area. It has private double rooms with air conditioning and hot showers, set over three floors around a long swimming pool, plus a rooftop terrace with artificial grass, bean bags and loungers that is popular in the evening. There is a shared kitchen and several communal areas where guests meet.

The hosts are frequently singled out in reviews for looking after guests, from late-night check-ins to storing luggage and recommending places to eat and visit. Rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and it is very good value for the area, which makes it a sensible base for solo travellers and couples on a budget.

A scooter is the easiest way to get around: Melasti, Green Bowl and the Ungasan clifftop beach clubs are 10 to 15 minutes away, and the cafés of Jl. Raya Uluwatu are closer. Book through the guesthouse's direct booking page for the best rate.
