    Nice enough stay but a little run down
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 4 nights

    Facilities were a little run down and a bit dirty compared to other places we had stayed in Bali. The decking area in particular had green moss build up around the main areas, making it very dangerous to walk, in fact one of our kids did actually slip over and hurt themselves. There is also a walkway of stepping stones to one of the bedrooms, and again very slippery when wet because of the slime build up. Staff onsite was helpful, but sometimes hard to find /get hold of when we had run out of things like toilet paper.

    Overall a nice place to stay and location was quiet. Staff were friendly and the breakfast provided was simple but nice. Kids loved the pool and pool table area

    Bring your own charging adapters for USB’s. Only 1 x TV in the huge space we occupied. Being concrete type buildings, the poor design layouts of some of the spaces meant poor ventilation and left a musty smell occasionally. Also if you are after a completely secure complex this may not be your cup of tea. Although each of the bedrooms were lockable. Which was good enough for me.

    There were many things to like. The asthetic look of the pool area and gardens was like something out of a tropical balinese dream. Geckos and birds, bats and the odd kitten would make appearances daily. All part of the bali experience. Very villa is very pleasing to the eye and had AC in each bedroom. The balinese styling of the kitchen and villa structures was also pleasing. The staff were very friendly and helpful whenever needed. Our driver Gusti was a champion. He delivered the goods when it came to family day activities on more than one occasion. The villa location to Ubud centre was good too. You wouldn’t walk it but nothing a gojek cant fix. We hired a scooter to do any minimart trips we needed which was a massive time saver. Overall, the villa was massive and I’d say the pool area is the standout feature of the property.

    No bathroom upstairs in the first building. one of the rooms had aircon in the bathroom and took a while to cool the place. That can be challenging when it's a hot day. overall the villa was great!

    Staff were available to meet and greet at the property. They took us around the villa and showed us the property and amenities. Nicely laid out rooms with comfortable beds, facilities and the swimming pool was amazing. We'd love to stay back

    Odd layout. Aircon not in bedroom in guest house - aircon in room with hand basin only. Leaking bathroom closest to pool - constant wet floor.

    Traditional style. Quiet with walkable shops and restaurants. Lovely driver and other staff. Secret suite up the waterfall steps. Great pool for adults.

    Two bedrooms don’t have adjoining bathrooms. We thought the place looked a little different from the pictures.

    The place was kept very clean and is near many restaurants and a mart. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfy. The pool table was a good touch.

    The villa was exactly as described and met all our needs. It was perfect for our family of seven, grandparents, sons and two teenage grandkids. The staff were friendly and the drivers who took us around Ubud were patient and managed the hectic traffic efficiency as possible. Breakfast each morning was delicious and served well by the friendly staff.

    Although a beautiful walk way up to the top villa. It was super difficult to carry suitcases up there.

    The villas were amazingly clean, new and spacious. The outdoors dining areas was brilliant in size and the overall plan of the villas was great. Cannot fault it. Jimmy (the host) was amazing, he came over personally to fix the wifi issue.

    Whilst the villa was lovely and extremely good value for money, privacy issues do need to be addressed. Visitors to the villa next door kept using the entrance to our villa to come and go rather than using their own entrance. I did not feel comfortable to laze around the pool. Previous guests had broken a chair and not reported it so when my son sat on it and it buckled we were charged the full cost of a replacement $200!. The owner would not admit to the possibility that it was it already damaged. This left a damper on our whole stay in Ubud. Staff were very friendly and helpful but came and went as they pleased. We didn't get the privacy we had hoped for.

    In the other hand, a couple of rooms are extremely poorly designed, e.g. one has the AC over the sink in a separate room, which means if you want to cool down the bedroom you need to put the AC to the max at the sink room and leave all doors open. Shower right on top of the toilet. Extremely ugly decorations in the facade and around the house, (some kind of hilarious) such as the “marry me” message in golden letters ruining a beautiful statue. The worst was that they served the most disgusting breakfast we’ve ever tried, by far... It seems whoever planned and designed this place quit before finishing it.

    This place is a total hit and miss, with some really nice features and others hard to understand. On the positive side: there are some really nice rooms, common area is nice to hang out with your friends, there are some incredible typical Balinese doors decorating the place and beautiful statues, a pond with fish and turtles, etc…

    No privacy at all, staff came and went from our villa as they pleased, leaving our gates open for other guests and staff to wander in, and our littlest child to wander out. Rooms were good size but not well maintained., two of the three toilets didn't work, and Wifi barely worked. I wouldn't recommend for families with small kids.

    The complex had plenty of character, great pond with fish and a turtle was a hit with our kids. Staff were pleasant and accommodating.

    The villa was much much bigger than we expected. The bedrooms were huge and space was no issue at all. The pool was big, deep and crystal clear. Having a pool table was a fantastic bonus, as was the pond with fish and a turtle!
