Hubud

Besides the obvious charms of the place (location, atmosphere etc), what I know is that every time I walk into Hubud something positive happens. From something as simple as learning what the cheapest flights are to landing a paid workshop, theres always a connection. I hope I have given back to them as much as I feel I have gotten. Back to the charms of the place, Hubud has a great atmosphere, beautiful building and perfect location in the heart of Ubud. Bali is an amazing place, but Ubud is a particularly great location for coworking as it attracts the kind of progressive entrepreneur who brings real skills and experience.

Paid a visit to Hubud Nov 2017, one of the best space I've ever been! The bamboo interior gives a cosy and welcoming ambience, the view overlooking a padi field is amazing! The vibe during Startup Weekend was very energetic and full of laughter with Steve as the MC. Food during the event was delicious and thoughtful. The team was helpful and always have a smile on them. Had a great and unforgettable experience organizing CU Asia 2018 with Hubud's team. Looking forward to my next trip to Bali and will definitely visit Hubud again to catch up with the Hubud family.

Hubud has completely changed my life- I always joke that I received a full business degree purely by being surrounded by such amazing people, having access to all of the skill shares and events and having a supportive community that helps me power through the biggest challenges I come across. I've met the most amazing people, had the most productive days I can remember and challenged myself to learn new skills and grow. I've even been able to build up my own public speaking skills by sharing a few skill shares of my own! I can't recommend it highly enough!!!

Hubud does not only provide a space for people to do their works, but also a home for those who call themselves digital nomads. I mean, it is a perfect place to be concentrating on your tasks. When you're there, you'll be really motivated because you'll meet fellow members who are skillful and passionate about what they're doing. You're gonna be inspired by them. Being in Hubud is such a unique experience, it's a whole new world when you're in Bali. They have such an amazing community that will make you feel like you're home when you think you don't belong anywhere. They also have so many cool events that accommodate members to know each other or to gain new learnings or to embrace their skills.

Hubud is an amazing and bright place if you're looking to have an unforgettable (and productive) time in Bali. The community is beyond great: these people actually became friends for life in my case. The space is light and open, I personally love the bamboo, after all you shouldn't forget you're in Bali! I love Hubud with all my heart, I'm currently in Europe but I literally can't wait to go back and for sure see familiar faces again! <3 Everybody takes care of one another. Everybody wants to learn, and share their skills. It's a magical environment, you should get a taste off.

If you are in transition to become a digital entrepreneur with a location independent lifestyle - this is the perfect place to start. The community gives you the sense of belonging, the trust and all the energy that you need to build and run your own business. Where else in the world do you get the opportunity to join 400+ events per year that feeds your brain and shifts your mindset? Besides the space itself you'll be inspired by Ubud's beauty and you get the chance to eat out - every single day. Working from paradise start here. I love this place!

One of my first few experiences in a co-working space and this surpassed all my expectations. The building is absolutely gorgeous. Love that everything is completely in bamboo and they pay a tremendous attention to the environment. Kantin (the canteen in the space) has delicious, hearty and healthy food and great coffee so you never have to worry about re-fueling during the day. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly always. My favourite thing is all the events that you're able to participate in, whether it's social or educational. You're constantly learning in the space and meeting cool and motivational people. Thanks Hubud!

Hubud is a gem not only in Ubud but also in Bali, I have been a partnership intern here at hubud and i haven't regretted a thing. It has provided me so many accesses to weekly educational events from entrepreneurial think thank, skillshares and so on. And I love my coworkers, some are smart, like minded people who inspire and empower you in so many ways. Surely this helps you increase your confidence boost especially young people who just entered a real work world. Because at Hubud, you'd get the chance to pick up new knowledge/skill or two while getting your work done and surrounded by positive people.

I arrived Ubud 1 year ago, I was experiencing one of my toughest life transitions. From a corporate job to a life without roots and to a craving to find 'home' again within an inspiring community of like-minded people and start off my freelance writing career. I found all this at Hubud: a welcoming team and community that supported me all the way through my transition. The weekly events - skillshares, entrepreneurial think thank and other meetups - are like modules of a hands-on and practical MBA. Other larger events - Startup Weekend, F*ck Up and Pecha Kucha Nights - summon a community of exceptional individuals and professionals, eager to discuss about future of work....and have fun!!! I cannot be more enthusiastic in writing a review: Hubud has changed my life, for real.

Oh, Hubud, if Ubud wasn't already special enough, you came along and made it possible for me to actually be a productive human on my favorite chill-out island. This really just means that I'll never have to leave Bali, and I can't dream up anything better. The space is so conducive to a productive work day, the coffee is free and bottomless, the building made from bamboo so you feel like you're in a treehouse (and it's totally sustainable), and there are monkeys outside. Oh yeah, and the staff + members rock, it's an epic place to connect, and the wifi is lightning fast which, on Bali, is NOT NORMAL. Oh yeah, and it's open 24/7 on weekdays so for this girl (I'm a journalist/copywriter/occasional night owl when inspiration hits), it's a dream come true. The owners did an amazing job with this space, and I'm thrilled that it exists. It's an awesome community. Thank you, Hubud, for being you, and rocking my professional world in my very favorite place on this big, blue planet.

I've been travelling and renting office space in SE Asia for give months now and have been to maybe a dozen. Hubud was the most expensive by far. Which would be fine if they justified that price by offering an incredible space with lots of extras. But they dont. The staff are friendly, chairs are comfy, Wi-Fi is reasonably fast. But it's also quite dark, crowded and hot - which isn't helped by the fact that there's no air con. Outpost is far better!

Hubud is a very beautiful and cool space. It is build out of bamboo, which is sustainable material, but also a very unique and beautiful structure. The internet is very fast. They have a lot of events and skill sharing which makes it easy for the community to connect with each other. The food in the cafe is raw, tasty and very healthy. Best environment to work.

Me and my colleague were travelling in Bali and needed a place with good Wifi and where we could work more productively than in a cafe, so we came to Hubud. The place has one AC'd room and several open decks with fans in a supercool bamboo hut as well as an outdoor area. If you like working in a cool room, then you might need to join the rather crowded AC'd room. All other areas are rather warm, which was okay for me but might not be for everyone. There is a bar that serves drinks and food. The bar closes early, but there are enough bars and restaurants around. Unfortunately, on that day, a rather big Hack Weekend took place. At first we thought that that is a good thing, but later when the teams started working on their ideas, the place got really crowded and loud. No one of the staff took the time to show us around and introduce us to one or another community member. These are things have seen before and would expect of a place as famous for the community as Hubud. At some point we decided to continue working somewhere else and found a quite space in a cafe. I still believe that this was all due to the Hack Weekend, however we did not feel very welcome. I would like to go back and give Hubud another chance, but I definitely recommend checking the community events before going.

Hubud is a gem in Ubud, providing the perfect place to meet new like-minded people who are working on projects, businesses and just remote working. It's super social, so if that's not your bag, might not be the best place for working. Their events are great and you can pick up a new skill or two while getting work done on the matter at hand. The team is wonderful. I'm going to miss the guys and girls that keep Hubud ticking!

Hubud is located right in the heart of Ubud, next to the Monkey Forest. If you're working at the window, you can often see the monkeys climbing the telephone wiring outside. On the other side of the building, that's mostly made and decorated with bamboo, you can find rice paddies and bean bags and hammocks to relax. There's a coffee, tea and filtered water self-service in the open kitchen, which is a place I would often meet new people. Hubud has an amazingly social community; it's hard not to meet dozens of interesting people during your stay. I also liked the abundance of lectures and workshops, ranging from topics such as social media marketing to empathetic leadership to Bitcoin. It's easy to say that Hubud is the best place I ever worked from.

Hubud is a true pioneer and heart of the coworking movement with an amazing community of like-minded entrepreneurs and freelancers! Highly recommended

The entire world — literally, I've lost count of the countries from which the entrepreneurs arrive — comes through Hubud. They tend to be people who think differently, shift paradigms, and do amazing things with their lives. By and large, whether the stay is short or long, Hubudians are global citizens and entrepreneurs with heart, who understand that it's a small world after all and it's up to us to make the difference that makes a difference. The founders of Hubud have created an easygoing space that encourages connection, and they have done a phenomenal job at providing what the digital nomad community requires in terms of events and ways to find one another. Ubud speaks for itself in terms of lifestyle, and Hubud is a wonderful place to begin, get oriented and maybe choose to stay awhile (do download Hubud's Moving to Ubud guide, very helpful indeed).

Hubud is much more than a CoWorking space it's a Community. I always say about Hubud " Best CoWorking space in the world" and I really mean it. Incredible creative and fun people from really ALL over the world filled with projects and know how that they are willing to share and so you learn and grow each day. There are many weekly skill shares so more learning and expanding along side social members lunch and events. The view onto the rice field is a haven for me to work from. I have been coming back here regularly for over 2 years. Why ? Too good not to return to and still getting so much from being here. Gratitude gratitude to the founders for gifting us Hubud and to all the members and team for making it this place which feels like "Home".

At the many co-working spaces that I visited around the world, I have been sursprised by how differently they can interpret the "co" bit of coworking. Spanning from cafeterias with a giant shared space to places that can tap into the collective intelligence of the ecosystem of social entrepreneurs, I found Hubud to offer a great atmosphere of openness (it might be because it's placed at the heart of the Ubud vibe?) They are so active in the way they organize events to allow people to connect, share ideas, give feedback to each other, socialise. The creative entrepreneur who intends to find solitude and a quiet desk can also be satisfied and respected in her need for privacy and focus, as well. Definitely recommended as one of the best coworking spaces I have been to.

The staff are super friendly, the weekly skill-share and social events are so informative and fun. Amazing community, beautiful space. And it's made of bamboo.

I have worked in so many corporate offices around the world and I have been so impressed with Hubud and how it impacted my productivity. I worked there for a 3 months and discovered a co-working space with an amazing community of highly talented, self-selected brilliant entrepreneurs who are always willing to help. In addition there are numerous, regular skill shares, workshops, member's lunches, speaker events and social nights that allow Hubudian members to connect, upskill, share, contribute, learn and network. A very special place - so much so that I am returning back for a week all the way from London when I don't really need to....

Hubud co-working space is a vibrant hub where like-minded people from around the world unite and join forces. It is the epitome of breaking free of the box and a catalyst for so many towards creating the life they want to lead on their own terms. It fosters a unique environment where work is taken seriously, but achieved with joy, surrounded by like minded people all pursuing their own versions of freedom and ambition. Merely sitting in Hubud is a buzz, the motivation of self-driven co-workers permeates the air and is energising enough that you can forget your daily coffee (however there are free coffee facilities!). It's a thriving realm of education; I've learnt more about business, design and websites than I ever did at school or university; all taught to by passionate co-workers sharing their skills for free. Hubud creates a wonderful community for not only business collaboration but life-long supportive friendships. I went to Bali for a holiday. I moved to bali because of Hubud.

Hubud is hands down THE BEST co-working space and community I've been in - across three continents! Hubud is known as the Lab for the Future of Work, and that's 100% true. Every day, there's someone new coming in to Hubud to begin a new journey, to experiment, to re-discovery the spark, the re-invent, and to change the way they work. Hubud has a strong sense of community and culture - for experimentation and for learning. There are over 365 events per year (on average once per day), some examples: * A skill-share every Tuesday, hosted by subject matter experts in fields such as e-commerce, startups, and online marketing. * A think tank for entrepreneurs every Wednesday, where entrepreneurs seek feedback on their startups' business model, commercial strategy, and products. * A speaker session every Thursday, on various diverse topics ranging from how to raise venture funding to how to learn Chinese. * Alternating community lunch or happy hour every Friday * In addition, other community sessions, such as a blockchain discussion group, a film studies group, a web developer group, and an Indonesian language group also meet weekly or bi-weekly at Hubud. I wanted to point out that the level of Bitcoin and blockchain enthusiasm in Hubud is a big differentiator. It is very rare for a co-worker to say that they can participate in weekly blockchain discussions about DAO/Ethereum/Bitcoin and help spearhead widespread Bitcoin adoption with merchants/vendors, while also chilling in the middle of a jungle next to 600 monkeys (Monkey Forest nearby).

Hubud is home from home, the Hub of the Bud. It's the hotspot for work, connections, events and WIFI (in a notoriously lousy wifi area) in Ubud Bali. With seating (and standing) options to suit all bodies - hammocks, bean bags (inside and outside) a swinging chair, rice field views and air conditioning - Hubud has it covered. It's wonderful to be in a bamboo building, and with snacks and drinks at the Living Food Cafe there is no need to leave all day. Or night. I love being there at night when it's cooler and quieter. Watch the day dawn over the rice field, with monkeys in the trees - what's not to love?

From the moment I walked in, I felt "wow, this is it". There is an incredible energy in that place, that probably originates from 3 combined sources: the bamboo interior, the rice fields exterior and the most amazing community which instantly makes you feel as a family member. My original plan was to spend just a few days in Ubud, explore the village and the surroundings, and move on to another part of Bali. What happened instead was that I got so hooked on Hubud and its community and activities, that I stayed in Ubud way longer than I planned. I spent nearly all my time at Hubud, co-creating and co-learning with other members. I haven't seen much of the village or the surroundings, but I got so much value from people of Hubud: new friends, new ideas and made good progress on my project. I'll be back in Asia this winter, and I'll stay in Hubud for a few months at least. I can't wait for that.

I worked at Hubud for two weeks last year, and I very much wish I could have stayed longer. Working on your projects with a view over the rice fields and a freshly made healthy smoothie in your hand is simply amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised about the speed and the stability of the internet connection, and all the amenities were great. But the absolute best part about Hubud were the people. So many interesting, colourful, friendly and warm-hearted people gather in this place that it is hard to understand why anyone would ever want to leave. Whether you're just passing through during a trip, or looking for a place to stay put and work for a while, this should definitely be near the top of your list.

Well, they always say people remember their first one - first coworking space that is :) Ever since Hubud, I keep comparing other coworking spaces to it. It sure looks cool with that Bamboo structure and the lazy bags in the garden, together with the raw organic cafe with the best green juice ever, and occasional visits by the monkeys from the forest across the road. But it's mostly the excellent community management the guys and girls are doing there! Form the very first moment they help you tap into the community and they manage to have events literally every day - be it a skills sharing session, think thank, members lunch, happy hour etc. - always a great opportunity to meet like-minded people.
