Prima villa met heerlijk zwembad, maar hygiëne en afwerking is erg matig.
Pros:

Privé zwembad is heerlijk. Openlucht-badkamer op de begane grond is sfeervol met een prima douche. Goede locatie, al is het niet per auto bereikbaar.

Cons:

Hygiene is niet op orde.
Dekbedden met vlekken. Ligbedden bij het zwembad zijn absoluut niet fris.
Loungebank zonder kussens.
Magere keuken uitrusting.
Glazen zijn niet schoon.
Koelkast heeft zijn beste tijd gehad.

Recomendable
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal siempre dispuestos a ayudarte. La ubicación, está céntrico pero está en un callejón con mucha tranquilidad.

Cons:

La villa tenía cocina pero no podías cocinar xk no había menaje. Faltaba un poco de limpieza en los baños y algún detalle de pintura en las habitaciones que se podía mejorar para que el alojamiento fuera de 10.

Excellent rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Je connais cet établissement depuis longtemps. Le personnel fait tout pour satisfaire la clientèle. Très bien situé dans une ruelle proche des rizières, proche des restaurants et à 150 m de l’hypercentre. 2 piscines dont la plus grande se trouve près de la salle du petit-déjeuner. Tous les jours, j’y ai nagé, très agréable. Grandes chambres, clim ad hoc mais en août pas toujours nécessaire.

Mon restaurant favori : LE CLUB DES ARTISTES. Mets de première qualité, cuisine française miam miam et indonésienne.

Es ist gut machbar wenn man einfach günstig mit mehr als 2 Personen sehr zentral wohnen mag und zwischen einer langen Ru
Pros:

Die Lage ist klasse! Das Personal super! Und die Grünanlagen werden so so gut gepflegt. Klimaanlage funktioniert top. Es riecht nichts!

Cons:

Es ist leider nicht nur abgewohnt. Sondern wirklich sehr abgewohnt. Im Pool gab es scharfe Stellen (Achtung Schneide dich nicht), die Küche ist nicht nutzbar und es ist auch kein Geschirr da oder Topf etc. Der Kühlschrank gerade so das man was drin kühlen kann. Die Betten zwar frisch gewaschen gerochen und wir haben überraschend bequem geschlafen. Aber es ist leider alles voll mit Flecken. Das Schlafzimmer wird nicht dunkel und durch die gelben Vorhänge wird es ab 6/7 noch heller im Raum.

Pros:

Midden in het bruisende Ubud, maar toch als je hier binnen stapt, een oase van rust.

NO SATISFECHOS.
Pros:

El estilo de construcción, las plantas y la piscina

Cons:

Lamentablemente, falta de limpieza en la Villa (la cocina estaba totalmente sucia, con telas de araña y en el sector de desayuno estaba igual), por ello no quisimos desayunar a pesar de que estaba incluido en el precio.
Nadie se acerco a preguntar porque no fuimos a desayunar o se necesitábamos algo.

Pros:

Location. Rooms and beds adequate.

Cons:

Everything. Poor service from reception staff. Communication/language difficulties. Villa Kitchen facilities unclean, our pool dirty, bathroom very basic. No tissues, no hand towell or bathmat, no hot water for day 1, no vanity bench or hanging hooks in very old bathroom. Asked for insect spray or coils....had none. Bought our own.
Also no water or tea or coffee supplied. In
Expensive for what we got. Paid for breakfast included, but after inspection of "restaurant" kitchen area we did NOT eat there. Other pool was clean....not ours. Photos on your website are extremely deceiving. Not happy at all. Would suggest you remove this accomodation from your website.
