- Arya Wellness (female only)Women only
Solo women return to this female-only Ubud hostel for the welcoming staff and the ready-made community of women travellers. On-site yoga and meditation keep guests close to the property, which sits in a quiet, garden-like setting. The reviews are consistently warm, with no recurring caveat to flag.
Hostel · 4.6 from 225 - White Penny HostelWomen only
Women here keep noting the bathrooms and the beds, which run larger than the hostel norm. Female-only dorms are available, and the location puts Seminyak's beaches and restaurants within easy reach on foot.

- Clandestino Hostel Canggu
Berawa base with dorms, restaurant, two bars and an outdoor pool; check-in from 2pm.
Hostel · 4.7 from 660 - Roomates Hostel & Surf Camp Canggu (3min to Batu Bolong Beach) by iNi ViE Hospitality
Three minutes to Batu Bolong means you are in the water before the crowds arrive. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning actually works, which matters in Canggu heat. The reviews are thin on specifics beyond that.
Hostel · 4.7 from 651 - Best Canggu HostelHostel · 4.8 from 554
- Best Canggu Hostel
On-site restaurant, helpful staff, check in from 2pm.
Hostel · 4.8 from 554 - The Farm Hostel

Dorm beds are described as sturdy and the bathrooms as genuinely clean.
Hostel · 4.9 from 404 - My Capsule SeminyakHostel · 4.5 from 390

Hostel · 4.4 from 380 - Kos One Hostel Canggu | Canggu Hostel | Boutique Hostel Canggu Bali

Hostel · 4.9 from 301 - Surf & Party - Hostel Somewhere Else

Hotels and guesthouses
A door of your own.
- Desa Potato Head BaliHotel · 4.7 from 8,773
- THE HAVEN Bali Seminyak
The pool and gardens offer a quiet retreat from the surrounding busy area.
Hotel · 4.7 from 7,822 - Udara Bali Yoga Detox & Spa
Staff remember returning guests by name, which is why women keep booking their third and fourth stays here. The programs are structured and guided, not a yoga mat left in the corner of a standard room.
Hotel · 4.9 from 4,362 - Ubud Raya Boutique Hotel
Campuhan address with an outdoor pool, garden and restaurant bar; check-in from 2pm.
Hotel · 4.8 from 3,012 - Bambu Indah
The Kuda house books as a single-person stay, which most bamboo structures here do not. The catch the reviews name plainly: the price runs steep for one.
Hotel · 4.7 from 1,512 · about $241442 a night - IZE Seminyak
Staff friendliness keeps solo women coming back here, and the rooftop pool gives you somewhere to land after a day out. The location near Eat Street means you are rarely far from somewhere to eat alone without it feeling odd.
Hotel · 4.4 from 1,505 · about $90 a night - Grün Canggu Garden - Treehouse Boutique
Cottages on stilts in a wooded garden, with an outdoor pool; check in from 2pm.

Hotel · 4.6 from 406 · about $200 a night - LA RESERVE 1785 HOTEL PARTICULIER & SPA at Canggu BALIHotel · 5.0 from 365
- Mysa Boutique Hotel BaliHotel · 4.9 from 248
- Kuna Ubud
Women travelling alone keep coming back for the daily yoga and included massage, which turn a dorm stay into something closer to a boutique hotel. Beds run wider than a standard single and lockers are full-size, though the reviews say little about late-night staffing.
Hotel · 4.6 from 217 - The Bohemian Bali
Women keep coming back to the staff here, described as authentic rather than stuffy, which in Bali is rarer than it should be. The design is genuinely considered, not just posed for Instagram.
Hotel · 4.9 from 204 · about $187 a night - Ubud Rice Field House
Reception staffed 24 hours, with floating breakfast and yoga classes on site.
Hotel · 4.6 from 153 - The Little Boutique Hotel
Solo women note the central location keeps streets busy without being noisy. The walk to restaurants, cafes, and the beach is easy from the front door. Staff, including manager Sri, draw consistent praise for being helpful and friendly.
Hotel · 4.7 from 67 - Thewave Canggu
Rooftop pool and group dinners on Jl. Pantai Berawa, with check in from 2pm.

Rooms and a dorm in Batu Bolong with breakfast, a pool and a restaurant; check-in from 2pm.
Homestay · 4.4 from 479 - Caroline Guest House
Women mention the host's warmth and the quieter crowd compared to nearby party hostels. The personal touches and local tips from the host suit longer stays well. The review base is thin, so there is little else to go on here.
Homestay · 4.3 from 434 - Pecatu Ubud Guest House
One reviewer noted the street outside can be dark at night.
Homestay · 4.6 from 155 · about $22 a night - Lila Boutik ResidenceHomestay · 4.6 from 119
