    Villa was a little worn out. Could be cleaned a little better

    The location, the staff, the villas were beautiful but a little old already and worn out.

    Huge villa with fantastic garden area and massive pool. Central location, yet quiet and very safe.

    The furniture was old and marked and the walls indoor and out had paint crumbling and definitely in need of an update, but this did not make any difference to my stay as it was very clean. The TV had a great number of English speaking channels but the reception was fuzzy and difficult to watch at times. The lighting in the villa was very dark. There were no USB wall chargers for devices.

    I arrived very late at night and there was someone available to check me in. The villa was huge. The pool had sunlight all day and was massive and clean. The outdoor area with sun loungers and day bed was fantastic. Staff were very friendly, always smiling and helpful. The bed was so comfy, normally in Asia they are rock hard. The bathroom was huge and the air conditioning was nice and cool at all times. It was very safe and well lit when coming home late at night. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly. A good variety of items available on the breakfast menu. The location was central and only a 2 minute walk to the main street, yet super quiet at night. Even thought there are around 9 villas close together, I didnt hear one noise from any of the villas all day/night. Perfect for couples or families.

    The sit toilet can be better.

    Staff team is really nice, helpful. The room is extremely clean, shower good, sink good, everywhere is maintained well although it's been decorated for a few years but still in very good condition. Breakfast is good, tons of choices on the menu. And the location is wonderful, 1 minute and you are in a busy street with varies of choices for food and beverage, 3 minutes to gym and 10 minutes walk to the beach. It's close but not noisy so you can have a very good rest even on weekends.

    Location is great. Quiet but only 50 metres to eat street. The larger size one bedroom villa has a beautiful sized pool and lush garden surrounds. The staff all lovely. Breakfast was good, particularly when eaten at the restaurant rather than in villa ( as fresher)

    We had a 3 bedroom villa which was absolutely gorgeous. We are a family of 5 so my daughter had a room to herself and our 2 sons shared a room. All 3 rooms were the same size, the beds were firm but comfortable and the bathroom was massive with doors that opened out onto a lovely tropical garden. We also loved the separate living area which is a whole other villa with a dining room, tv area and a kitchen with cold filtered water. The staff were all lovely and they even had a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to my 19 year old son. The afternoon high tea was totally unexpected and wow, what a lot of food it was, it was delicious. Our breakfast was brought to us in our villa and it was lovely and plentiful. The villa is right near “eat street” with loads of dining options. The pool was lovely and big. Even though you are right in the middle of the hustle and bustle we didn’t hear any noise at night. We only had the 1 night here before we had to fly home but wished we could have had more. We would definitely stay here again if we were in Seminyak. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Everything was amazing but there was only two small thing if I really have to say something . Old TV and very weak internet at last in ours villa. We could not imagine to do any online work there or even watch anything online without loading problems.

    Authentic architecture, plants,furnitures and style that was great and fit Bali. When I go to different places I want to stay in place that can represent his context.This place delivers 100%.

    Starting to look a little worn. Outside walls could do with a paint and decking area under outdoor “love bed” could do with a varnish

    Ease of check in. Very quiet and close to Eat St (100 metres) off laneway next to Ginger Moon. Second stay here. Beautiful gardens and private pool was amazing

    Real lack of planned maintenance taken place over the years to our Villa. Shower was a mere dribble and water smelled of sulphur. Airconditioning was poor and noisy, rendering to outside showed water damage and staining. Maybe it's me being over fussy, as a Chartered Surveyor I pick up on these kind of things! Booked before the pandemic for our honeymoon, however due to the none cancellation policy we were obligated to fulfill our contract arriving 3 years later, once the Balanese government had removed all entry restrictions. The problem now is the accommodation is £40 per night cheaper, but we still had to pay the full price. The management team adamant the contracted price was payable which did taint our stay, especially when the accommodation was starting to look tired. Feel I have been honest and provided good feedback. The second week we moved in to a fabulous Villa 1.4km away.

    Great location close to the main area but still quiet. The team were friendly and polite with the afternoon tea being a real treat

    The bed was a little hard but we have soft beds at home so noticed it more than maybe others would. In saying that, we slept well still 🙂

    My daughter & I had a 1 bedroom villa No.9 for 7 nights & it was amazing, even better than the photos! We spent 99% of the time outside by the pool which was awesome, loved the daybed, the rocking chairs under verandah & the outside dining w self contained kitchen - you really couldn't want for anything else. The crystal clear pool received sun all day so it was warm to swim 24 hrs a day, a beautiful frangipani tree provided some shade most of the day over a corner of the pool which was lovely if you didn't always want to be in full sun. Gorgeous well kept gardens with all the Inside the villa was very clean with a massive bed, lounge & a massive beautiful bathroom with a huge bath & seperate shower with sliding doors that opened to a nice space wirh lots of plants. All staff were wonderful, very attentive & friendly 😊 Had the included breakfast most days, which was delivered to the villa, plenty to eat & we really enjoyed everything - you choose what you want which was great & afternoon tea also but we were usually still full from brekky 😁 The turn down service in the evening was great (included them putting on mozzie coils around outside) The location was perfect in every way, felt very safe at all times day or night - 50 mtr walk to Eat St & a minimart straight across the road (open 24 hrs) Always quiet, couldn't hear a thing from Eat St or anything else. 100% will stay here again & recommend 🙂
