“Our stay at the Villa Palm Kuning was ideal.” The villa was lovely and provided all of the facilities that we could possibly want. The building itself was spotless and well maintained. We cannot say enough about the young man Wayan who cooked and cleaned for us. Even on the final day when we were leaving early he came to see us off to make sure that everything was OK and waited with us until our van arrived. We woulrd also like to thank Steve Castley who made the arrangements for us. This is the fourth time we have rented a villa through him and we have never been disappointed.

“Location, comfort and good people...” Three of my friends and I stayed at the Haadrin Seaview Villa during the first week of Feb. In the process of selecting this particular Villa I reviewed a number of other options but kept on coming back to this as one of the best from a location vs value for money proposition. Andy and Yuko were very responsive both via email and text messages initially thus the booking of the accommodation was a breeze. One has a tendency to make certain assumptions via photos prior to actually seeing a property and in this case the Villa exceeded my expectations. It has three equally sized bedrooms in the upper lounge area that is open plan with the kitchen. This in turn opens up onto a large deck that faces South so gets the sun all day. There is plenty of seating and a hammock so 90% of the time at the Villa was spent in this space. The upstairs bathroom was also in excellent condition (hot water). Downstairs there is a Jacuzzi that comfortably sits two (three at a push). We mainly used this as a plunge pool to cool down - great feature to have. There is also a secondary bathroom downstairs that comes equipped with a washing machine. So bottom line is the Villa itself is fantastic. The other major attraction are the owners. Both andy and Yuko are very friendly and are available at all times to help out if needed. Location is also critical. The house is 5 min by scooter to Haad Rin (fortunately far enough away from the crowds) and 2 min to a 7/11 that has an aTM. There is also a scooter hire place directly across the road. Of course nothing is perfect so it is important to note that the house is high up on the hill over looking Samui. The walk from the main Haad Rin road to the house is up a number of steps. Once you have a scooter you can get 2/3rds of the way up the hill but there is still about a 30 second walk up hill so if you have any mobility issues this place may not be for you. Overall a great week was had. Fully recommend. You won't be disappointed.

“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

“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.

“Another Great Experience with www.privateubudvillas.com” We have been renting villas in Bali for several years. This was our first time at Bulan Mas as always the standard of service, responsiveness and value was excellent.

“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.

“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."

“Beautiful - Friendly - Great Service” I must say we picked a great villa for our 1st trip to Bali. From the day we were picked up till the day we left was magical. Lobo the house boy is very lovely and gave us great advise on were to go and also cooked a beautiful brekky every morning. This villa is located in a great spot. WIFI - 2 TVs and loads of DVD's to watch on your lazy days:) Plus the pool :) Steve the owner is just a 10sec walk to if you need anything. The Spa is also a 10sec walk to and Bayus kitchen - OMG YUM we went there all the time and you can also have food delivered. and Yes its also a 10 sec walk. Ubud central is only a 20 min walk or a 2min drive from either the friendly guys on the scooter up the road or via car on the cnr. Ubud is magical and we are coming back in March STEVE.

“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.

“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!

“Magnificent villa with beautiful jungle views” We recently stayed at Villa Indah and it was a fantastic holiday. The villa is located on the edge of a beautiful jungle valley with a river below. It is a short walk on a concrete pathway to many restaurants and cafes. The village of Penestanan is also known as "the young artist's village" and it is a fascinating area of Ubud to explore. The villa is new and maintained to a wonderful standard by the houseboy Wayan who was charming, meticulous and a wonderful cook (the omelettes were delicious). I will definately return to Villa Indah with my family. We were really impressed that the pool was fenced, thus making a totally safe environment for toddlers. The villa itself is beautiful with a well equipped kitchen, luxurious bed linen, wi-fi and cable T.V. The villa is fantastic value for the price.
