“Fantastic stay in a tropical paradise” We stayed at Villa Elleo over the Easter long weekend and we could not have been happier with our choice. To begin with Ketut was extremely helpful in helping us arrange our stay with timely responses to emails and even helping us arrange dinner on our first night as our plan was arriving late. The villa looked exactly like the photos and was extremely comfortable. The house staff were by far what made it an enjoyable experience, they were so friendly and helpful, organising massages in the villa, preparing breakfasts and fresh coconuts. We also thoroughly enjoyed Nyoman card tricks. With the night security Made we always felt safe and he even helped arrange late night take out for us. The villa has a perfect location, tucked away so it's nice and quiet but only a few minutes walk from the main area of Seminyak, with plenty of markets, and restaurants to choose from. Overall everyone was extrely happy with our decision to stay at Villa Elleo, and we would not hesitate to both recommend or re-book the villa for our next stay. Thank you Ketut, Yanti, Nyoman, Made and Made for a wonderful stay in Seminyak.

“Great Villa in Ubud” Enjoyed our xmas stay here at this Villa. The Villa's are setup well for relaxing in Ubud. Sitting in the pool and watching the scenery is great. Max and his staff are very accommodating and will help you book the attractions in the area. The villa is a about 20 minute drive to the Ubud township so being away from the crowds and in the rice fields is the appeal here. All of the attractions however will do pickups for free which is a good way to get into Ubud town. Cheers

“Fantastic property - fantastic staff” This is our second stay at makasih Bidadari and highly recommend this villa. Both times were family holidays, 3 adult couples. Each bedroom is very spacious and very large bathrooms each with a separate large bath and large walk in showers. The downstairs bedroom and the guest house also have a both indoor and outdoor showers. With one bed upstairs with large outdoor area with lounge and balcony, one bed downstairs and the third bed in the separate guest house this villa is ideal for 3 couples as you have plenty of your own space. A large lounge and kitchen with added bonus of being able to close off if required by very easy to operate aluminium doors and two air conditioners. All appliances, glasses etc that you would require. The pool is huge, and has beautiful gardens both are well maintained. The staff are probably the best asset, so willing to help with anything, from booking restaurants and helping us buy groceries. Nengah is a fabulous cook and we enjoyed our breakfast each day. Nothing is too much trouble and there is staff at the villa 24 hours a day. we felt very safe and secure. Although for those not familiar with Bali the villa may seem a little far out as on the other side of sunset road, however we could easily walk to Eat st or bintang supermarket. Taxis are are easy to get and a very nice small restaurant very close. Overall a fantastic place to stay and exactly as photos appear. Well maintained property. Thanks to Nengah, Made, Wayan and Made for looking after us . Will be back next year!!

“Best accommodation of our entire trip” Myself and two friends travelled to Bali late in January, which was the first visit to Indonesia for all of us. Our first stop was Angel Villa and it was the best introduction to Bali we could possibly have asked for. Annie and Rod (as well as being fantastic hosts) are so knowledgeable not only of Balinese culture, but also of the local surrounds, and so for Bali novices like ourselves, we found ourselves saying "We'll ask Annie when we get back" whenever there was something we didn't fully understand, and without fail, they had the answers. Their recommendations were consistently spot on, not only for fantastic local places to eat and drink, but also for shopping destinations like for silver jewelery etc, and the best ways to get around - locally, as well as off to our next destination. We stayed in the Poolside room, which is the larger room of the two on offer, and is lovely and light, with fans and air-con to relieve the humid and hot temperatures. On days we weren't out exploring, the Villa was a fantastic place to relax - we spent a lot of time on the balai or relaxing by the pool, reading, playing cards and/or having a couple of bintangs. The gardens are exquisite and provide a brilliant oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Given it's a homestay there is a fully equipped kitchen, and while we used it for snacks only, if you were interested in cooking a 'proper' meal you'd find everything you need, and the local supermarket is a 5 min walk away. The location in Mas is great - out of the crazy-ness of Ubud which is a huge plus, but still easy enough to get in to Ubud if and when you want to. Local market is spitting distance away for all things fresh (and is a must visit), as are cheap warungs for delicious local style food, as well as slightly more expensive restaurant style places if you so desire. Great bar called Dstar which has live music a few times a week is also easy walking distance away. Oh, and did I mention the pool?!?! As hosts Annie and Rod are very respectful - there when you need them, but at the same time it really felt like we had the place to ourselves most of the time. There is no curfew, and we all felt very comfortable to come and go as we pleased. And I know it' might seem like a small thing, but over our couple of weeks in both Bali and on the Gili Islands, Angel Villa had by far the absolute best water pressure of all our accommodation choices! Loved staying here, would return without hesitation.

“Beautiful setting in an authentic Bali villa with everything you” Helen and Kadeo could no have been more welcoming. Helen gave us lots of information before we arrived and provided a few things we asked for including airport pick up and a brand new baby car seat. We were pleasantly surprised by the walk to the villa having imagined a bit of a trek it really was only 5 minutes through the rice paddies which we easily managed with two asleep children (aged 3 & 4) and our bags with kareoke help and a torch! It all added to a sense of adventure. In the day light this walk was wonderful and we saw beautiful views villas and lots of wildlife including ducks frogs dragonfly dogs etc to the delight of the boys. Karens breakfast was gorgeous and she was very good with the kids. The villa was beautifully decorated but so you didn't feel at home and they encouraged us to move anything around to make us happy. The two bedrooms outdoor ensuites and huge open plan living area was lovely with ceiling fans and aC. The outdoor patio, pool and Bali hut were stunning and very private with high walls and a lovely wooden door out to the paddies. We stayed 5 days and spent one at the elephant sanctuary which was well worth the pricy entrance, Kadek arranged a driver for around $30 au for 4-5 hrs. We felt quite close to Ubud centre too but didn't walk there only because it was a bit tricky on the narrow roads with kids but taxis were good and very cheap. We are at dreams cafe on the oath many times and loved the food and ambience my son started to look like banana fritters and my husband and I like nasi goreng! Amazing place and we felt so welcome thanks again to Helen for her lovely impromptu australia Day get together we were so kindly included in! Btw we took every mozzie repellant and had no problems or need for it also no sickness which is quite am achievement when your toddler eats off the floor! Highly recommend pondok iman for families or couples.

“Spacious and Safe Haven in a Convenient yet Scenic Location” I stayed here for six weeks while I was on a part holiday / part business trip to Ubud. It was a really wonderful choice as I felt totally safe and loved there by the friendly owner and her very attentive staff. It was great to have the privacy of my own room, but yet Mary Lee, the owner, was always there for a friendly chat. Her team of three took amazing care of me and my room which was kept tidy every day and would even go to the market for me to buy fresh fruits. While I did not do much cooking there was the ability to cook a simple meal in the well equipped kitchenette. I also really enjoyed a refreshing dip in the pool each morning. The apartment is set amongst rice paddy fields, but was surprisingly just a five minute walk to the main part of Ubud. I walked everywhere and found so many fantastic restaurants in the vicinity. Highly recommended for single women who want a taste of real Bali, but in a situation that makes them feel totally comfortable and safe.

“Comfortable, cheap and away from the crowds.” A nice big room with everything you need, run by a very friendly couple. The house is far enough away from the busy tourist areas to be peaceful, but close enough to easily reach the main Seminyak/Legian/Kuta areas. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is after a quite and comfortable place to stay.

“Bohemian Hideaway” First off let me say that Boyd is a great host! He answered all of our questions and made the process of renting his Villa super easy. After we arrived he helped us with coordinating car rentals and also gave us tips on where to go. He's been in Bali for so long and knows the island really well. From restaurants to clubs to sightseeing he's a great resource. Second, the location of Villa Bohemia is awesome. It's off the main road but set back enough that you have a very quiet and serene environment. Easy to find and perfect cause it is central to everything. Plus, there is a big 24 hour convenience store within 5 minutes walking distance so you never run out of supplies. Getting a taxi is super easy too, cause the main street is full of them. We went to Kuta for less than 3 dollars. Third, price is great for the value you get. There is a small pool with a waterfall, nice kitchen, beautiful garden and patio area. The bedrooms are spacious and the a/C is cool. Tv is nice and so is the stereo system. Place is super clean and marble floors aren't too shabby! It's really well decorated and feels cozy comfortable and upscale all at the same time. Overall our 1 week stay at Villa Bohemia was wonderful. Thank you Boyd and we had a wonderful trip and

“Great place for an escape n tranquil” We came here for our honeymoon. And we wanted to be like a retreat, away from our daily routine n city hectic life. And we found the room we booked was a very nice room, clean n comfortable. Everything that in the picture was exactly what we had. The surrounding was very tranquil, a perfect venue for getaway. In addition we can still hear the sound of nature. So it's like we blend in with them. Do not worry of transport or finding recreation as there were so many activities available, as well as free shuttle to Ubud area. But don't look for a discotheque as it will be quite far and they don't have that hype around Ubud. The breakfast is sufficient and definitely delicious.

“A home away from home” We stayed at Rumah Tyang for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. The villa is spacious, clean and tastefully decorated in Balinese style, as shown in the photos. The location is very convenient - about a 15 minute walk to Ubud centre yet quiet and private. There was plenty of room for 6 adults. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped. The lounge room does not have air-conditioning and can get a bit hot, but the bedrooms are all air-conditioned. The lighting is a bit dim and could be improved. The swimming pool was clean and very refreshing. The outdoor pool area was very pleasant in the evenings and mornings. The booking process went smoothly and Juliana was very prompt at answering any questions. The driver, Nyoman, was excellent – very helpful and a very safe driver. He met us at the airport and was available whenever we called him (a phone is supplied). He was happy to answer all our questions about Bali and organise any bookings for us. The house staff, Agus and Made, kept the house spotless and were available whenever we needed them. At the same time, they respected our privacy and only came into the house when we called them. They will cook you breakfast if you supply the ingredients. I would definitely recommend this place. It is very good value for the quality of the accommodation and the services provided.
