About the volunteer accommodation

Volunteering with Volunteer Programs Bali means that you will help the children of Bali, while immersing yourself into the true Bali life.

That is why all our volunteer accommodations are in a so called ‘homestay’. A homestay is a Bed & Breakfast which is usually located in the compound of a family. This means that you stay in a bungalow separate from the main house, but you stay in their home­, their compound. It is a truly unique experience to stay so close to a Balinese family, you will see and experience the daily activities and join the ceremonies. Each room has 2 single beds (a double bed is available for couples), and has a private bathroom attached.

Our Volunteer accommodation is located in central Ubud, close to the market and the Ubud Palace. Although close to the buzzing center of Ubud, this homestay is a very quiet place with the atmosphere of a genuine Balinese family compound. Four generations of this lovely Balinese family share their home site with our volunteers.

Breakfast is provided daily and is included in the price.

Although lunch and dinner are not included, there are plenty of options available because the homestay is located in one of the best streets in Ubud for a traditional Balinese meal. With a large range of Warungs (local restaurants), at an average price of about 15.000IDR‐ 25.000IDR per meal. Should you be missing some of your local dishes from back home, chances are high that you might find it in Ubud, as there are quite some ‘Western style’ restaurants around as well.
