What the reviews tell us
No effective soundproofing between rooms or between rooms and hallways, allowing clear transmission of neighbor noise
Guests hearing detailed neighbor activities including air conditioning operation and shower use, indicating poor wall/door insulation
Sleep disruption reported from neighbors' door noise—a functional impact beyond mere annoyance
Issue noted as somewhat common in Bali region, though this does not excuse the hotel's failure to address it
Sound insulation at Mathis Retreat Ubud is poor across multiple boundaries. Reviewers report a consistent pattern of noise transmission from neighboring rooms and corridors, with at least one guest experiencing repeated nighttime wake-ups caused by neighbors' door noise. The lack of effective barriers allows ambient sounds from adjacent rooms—including air conditioning units and shower activity—to be clearly audible, indicating minimal or absent soundproofing in walls and doors. While one reviewer acknowledged that noise insulation issues are somewhat common in Bali, this contextual note does not mitigate the hotel's specific performance gap. The most recent and specific feedback comes from May 2026 reviews, all highlighting this same deficiency.
