“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."

“Stunning, stunning, stunning” What can I say I'm speechless. My partner & I have been going to Bali for the past 5 years & have stayed at villas that have been highly recommended, but we have been nothing but disappointed until we stayed at Villa Dayak-Asmat. We have finally found our home away from home. The cleanliness, the layout, the garden & the decor is nothing but outstanding. Yuni, the housekeeper was always on call if needed & Richard & his wife (the owners) took time out to come & introduce themselves, which was a nice touch. The villas are walking distance to the Bintang Supermarket, many restaurants & Jalan Seminyak one of the main streets. Congratulation to Richard & all the staff keep up the good work & you will see us time & time again. Thank you all once again for an amazing stay.

“Perfect Villa” I and my wife and family (including our twins) stayed at Villa Kelusa for three nights in November 2014. One of the reasons why we wanted to stay there was because the pictures of the villa we saw on the internet were very attractive. We did have a little doubt that the real conditions would not be as good as the pictures. However, when we arrived at the villa (despite the villa's location which is not too close to the center of Ubud), the real conditions turned out to be the same as and even better than the pictures themselves. We loved the villa very much, the ambience, the view, the pool and also the manager and staff. Their hospitality and service deserve two thumbs up. The facilities were also great, they even have a good internet connection and cable TVs. If you ask us whether we want to stay again at the villa, given our impressions above, it seems that our answer will be crystal clear and that is a yes :)

“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

“Absolutely wonderful!” The Harmony Villas are really top rate. All of the services provided were excellent. All of the staff was attentive without being over bearing. Breakfast was cooked each morning in the villa; cars were arranged for transport to town whenever we wanted. Harmony Villa is located about 5 minutes away from all of the action in Ubud. The location was peaceful and quiet, but excitement was right around the corner if that's what you wanted. The views of the rice fields were hypnotic. The infinity pool was refreshing. Loved everything and cannot wait to return!

“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

“Perfect place for family” I spent a very pleasant vacation at Pondok Dukuh Soca with my extended family including my parents and 2 young kids. The villa is perfect for family, spacious open living room for everybody gathering together, well designed pool for kids, and 3 bedrooms all with ensuite bathroom. The kichen is also good with all facilities needed so we used it several times when my parents wanted home made food instead of eating out everyday. Very friendly staff, they are 'invisible' most of time so provided us good feeling of privacy, while offered everything we needed when we asked for. The main staff Azan is a very nice person and helped us in finding taxies, suggesting places to go, etc. The maid cooked delicious breakfast. There is also a security man kept watching the villa all overnight, which made us feel safe. The villa is 2 km from Ubud center in a village, with rice fields around, pieceful and quite just as I wished, while it's easy to go to any place since renting a taxi is so easy and cheap. We also rented a scooter so as to go to market, just ask Azan for it, and it will be sent to the villa. Moreever, I left a bag in the villa, and Maryse kindly agreed to mail it to Beijing... I felt so happy I made the decision to stay with Pondok Dukuh Soca, although I had some hesitation when I rented it because there is no review then. I hope my review will bring more guests to it, it indeed deserves it.
