There have been many changes in Ubud since Eat, Pray, Love advertised its unique charms to the world, and the neighborhood around Ibu Anna's in Penestanan Kaja has been rapidly growing around it. Anna has been there for 10 years and, though her place is well maintained, and has a lovely mature garden, it is overpriced compared to the spacious... More

My partner and I stayed for a week in the Joglo. Arriving late at night, we weren't quite sure where we were and whether we'd made the right choice to be a bit out of town. But we fell in love the next day when we saw the gardens, the views ... and had our first delicious breakfast in the... More

My wife and I stayed with Anna in May, 2012, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday. Firefly turned out to be simply amazing - the accomodations, location, breakfast in the morning, the staff, and Anna herself were all simply spot on for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. This was our first trip to Bali, but Anna's quick... More

We stayed for a week, and had the fortunate opportunity, to meet ibu anna, who was very kind and invited us to join her in her activities. Also the staff, yandira and kadek are two very friendly and helpful people. Only disadvantage would be the distance to ubud, but with our motorbikes no problem at all. All in all very... More

We found out about Kunang-Kunang Guesthouse by very fortunate accident while having lunch one day in Candi Dasa at the same time Ann was there with some guests. We have only stayed twice but have visited about 5 times. Ann is so lovely and knows so much about all sorts of things! The gardens are absolutely beautiful, I could walk... More

How pleased we were to be staying her rahter than central Ubud, which we didn't like at all. Ann, who owns the place is a real character - an Australian who spends half her year here, living in one of the three houses within the grounds, and the other half in Australia. We were lucky enough to meet her just... More

I found out about Ibu Anna though a friend in Canada, and really enjoyed my stay there. The compound is just outside Ubud, situated in beautiful rice fields. There are three buildings on the compound and I stay in Ann's Villa, which was beautiful and had a complete kitchen. From what I understand the other buildings don't have kitchens, so... More

This guesthouse is fabulous. We planned to stay for a week and couldn't leave! We ended up staying for 10 days and even then were emotional when we left. Ann is a most welcoming, wise, and loving host. She has lived on the island for several years and visited for many before that - she speaks the language and has... More

We stayed at the Firefly Guesthouse for four days and it just wasn't long enough. My sister and I both really enjoy nature so having breakfast on the Bale surrounded by a tropical garden was pure heaven. The staff are very helpful and Anne is inspiring, she has created a beautiful retreat and cannot do enough for you. We did... More

Just stayed for about two weeks, Oct-Nov, in the little joglo, the red house that others mentioned. It was so cozy and charming! The staff is truly lovely and accommodating, and Ann, who was in town, is just wonderful. She had so many great suggestions for places to go that were off the beaten track, and tourist-free (okay, other tourists),... More
