“A Wonderful Week In Bali” We had two families take over Villa Jumah for 7 days during Chinese New Year. We had a wonderful time and were so pleased (after a bad air B&B; experience in Hong Kong) that everything at Villa Jumah was as advertised/promised. The transportation was ready for our arrival with 2 vans to whisk us through Saturday evening traffic during a rain storm to the villa where we were met by one of our primary butlers (Agus) who toured the villa for us so we could make some decisions on who would be sleeping where. They had also ordered in dinner for us as requested so we could get our kids to bed as soon as possible (since we arrived at the villa after 8p). There was space enough for our group of 9 (4 adults and 4 kids under the age of 11). 2 very large bedrooms, 1 average sized bedroom and 1 small bedroom. The rooms were all as shown in the pictures. Well decorated with nice bathrooms and comfortable beds. The small bedroom at the bottom of the stairs off of the living area was a little musty - not unheard of in the tropics, but none of the other rooms had this issue. I think it needed a good airing out and maybe a little time with a dehumidifier to address the smell, but it wasn't overpowering and wasn't a significant issue. The grounds and layout of the villa allowed for plenty of space for kids to play and adults to have their own places to read, soak up the sun and 9 people never felt on top of each other. By far the jewel of the villa was the staff. Attentive, polite, helpful - Simply amazing. They helped call in massages and pedicures, helped make dinner reservations, ordered in food, and did it all with smiles on their faces and cheer in their voices. We opted for the extravagant suckling pig dinner one evening when we had friends over and they did an outstanding job with the food and the decorations. Probably most importantly, as a bug we brought with us from Taiwan went through the group they took such good care of us. Highly recommend!

“It was all the comforts of home but away from home” We thoroughly enjoyed the house, my wife loved the decor, kid had an awesome time with the pool. The villa is actually cuter than picture. Short distance to the beach is just perfect. The mobile phone provided was a great plus to call a taxi or receive a call from taxi when you're waiting for pick up in other areas, and we enjoyed reserving the restaurants The staffs made us quitely comfortable. It rained many days of the week when I was there, and heavily. Well, I'd like to say, "A rainy day at the villa is better than a sunny day anywhere."

“Great Little Villa, Very Convenient Location” I’ve just spent a wonderful week in Bali staying at Villa No5. There were eight of us and we booked 2 villas, No5 and No7 which are part of a same complex of villas in Seminyak and it couldn’t have been more perfect. What was amazing about No5? • The Villa itself – it’s a 2 bedroom villa with its own pool, and is wonderfully stylish and furnished with simple and very tasteful antiques. The beds were very comfortable and it was such a great treat to get such amazing uninterrupted sleep for a whole week. • The location – No5 is located in Seminyak, within walking distance to wonderful restaurants and bars. There were too numerous to try but special mention must be made about the fab food at Sardine, Café Bali and the wonderfully authentic local Balinese cuisine at Café Carliz. • Ibu Wendi – She’s a wonderful lady who took such great care of all of us during our stay, and cooks the most amazing Balinese food. A meal at the villa prepared by her is a definite must. She was also very popular with the girls for arranging all the manicures and pedicures, and special hair treatments for the girls and the girls all swore that she’s the best experience, like having their private spa. No5 is a wonderful gem and I will certainly be back!

“Good value” Staff were great. Communication with Mary was excellent. Surroundings were beautiful I think its ridiculous that reviews need to have 100 min characters

“Real charming villa in Seminyak with high level service” Staying 12 days in this villa in november 2013. Very well located. 10 minutes from the beach. Restaurants, shops, ATM, night entertainment, all around. Even in the center of Seminyak the villa is very quiet. Very amazing, like an oasis in Seminyak.The villa is very well maintained with funny and reliable staff (Mrs. Ayu). I recommand this villa (but don't book it when I go back to Bali because I will rent again ! :-)) Alain

“Your own piece of Paradise and truly amazing place to stay” Villa Maju was truly amazing. This was my first time travelling from Melbourne to Bali to attend my Daughters Wedding and I was very anxious about going. After several telephone conversations and reassurance from the owner Mary who lives in Sydney I am so glad I booked this Villa. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the wonderful staff treated us like royalty and also welcomed my daughters & partners who also visited the Villa daily as if they were also paying guests. I would like to make a special mention to the staff Wayan, Welan, Tinny, Rai & Mardi (the security man) who went way and above to ensure our stay was one of the most memorable holiday's I have ever had. The respect the staff have for Mary the owner is truly amazing and Mary is very lucky to have such loyal staff to work for her. I would highly recommend to indulge in the Barbecue dinner and the highlight for me was the Teppanyaki which is prepared and cooked by Wayan & Welan who made it such a special night to treasure for ever. I really only left the Villa to attend my Daughters Wedding and to be honest why would you want to leave such a beautiful place anyway. The Villa's facilities were more then you could dream for and the garden was full of beautiful tropical flowers. I would highly recommend Villa Maju to anyone and would like to thank Mary for all your help and you are so lucky to have such a wonderful place to call home.

“Perfect Getaway” Excellent Service! The staff went over and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Quiet and serene and very private. Aside from the birds and the bees, you get a sense of tranquility - away from the hustle and bustle of the main beach. The location is quite remote, which added to its appeal. You can arrange for a motorbike rental, if you're daring and adventurous enough to go out on your own and explore Bali. If not, you can always arrange for a tour or guide to take you around - look for Dpana, he's sure to give you a refreshing tour or pick you up if need be. And you get a local phone! Which of course you have to give back upon checkout, it makes it very convenient to call for room service or transport.

“Beautiful Bali!!” Loved our stay, the villa was lovely- the downstairs bathroom is just divine! The extras were great as well eg security man, maid and gardener all made life that bit easier and comfortable. My husband loved the bike and I just loved the fact that it really felt like we were in Bali not just in a hotel that could be anywhere in the world! Fav things were white water rafting, shopping and the kecak fire dance Would love to come back sometime and stay in this beautiful villa again! Thanks!

“The perfect place to host a photography workshop” I had a wonderful time staying at this very beautiful villa. The open plan living area was amazing and the staff provided us with fabulous meals. The media room was quite spectacular also - perfectly suitable for small conferences & exploring ideas together. Rooms were large, clean and crisp. The perfect place to retreat back to at the end of a busy day.
