Bhavana Private Villas

All was good and location is nice near beach easy to find food

We had so much fun in this place. Don’t miss to have a meal at their restaurant. The breathtaking view while dining makes it very romantic. The staff are also very welcoming and accommodating. They offered welcome drink as we arrived and they helped us move our luggage to our private villa.

Despite having a great holiday with friends, it was hardly relaxing thanks to the inconsistencies and inaccuracies with the staff that we experienced. The amenities need desperately updating, as the online website photos were posted from what looked like 5-10 years ago, with now mould on the lounge chair covers, lounge chairs broken, moss on the pool side walls and broken linens in the bedroom. Not only does the accommodation need updating, but the manual and website needs updating as the hotel offers laundry service (paid service) however the hotel does not actually offer this service and we had to walk across the street to a launderette to wash our clothes. The hotel also offers free pick up and drop off services to the airport, however this also was not the case. The hotel staff were adamant that their card machine was broken so we had to pay everything in cash at a ‘special price’, which didn’t seem like a special price. Despite a few members of staff and their unwillingness to help, or attitude we had an enjoyable stay and the hotel is close enough to get a GRAB taxi or scooter to the nearby beach a 5-10minute driver away. If you want to be left alone, with not the ‘hotel experience’ with friends or a family that can cook with the facilities, then this might just be the place for you.

It is hard for me to reconcile some of the reviews we see with the place we visited. In my opinion - Nothing is clean . The shower screen and fittings are covered in soap scum , The pool is dirty . The fridge has not been cleaned for some time I would think . . I think the location is good close to the Main Street and shops and bars but for me personally I am sure there are much better places to stay . I would not recommend

Lovely property with private yard and pool Very spacious. Great position for walking to shops and Seminyak beach

Generally we had a “nice” stay. Not amazing, not terrible. The property is a bit run down feeling, and the attention to detail is lacking. The photos of the property online would have been when it was brand new and it doesn’t look like that now. If you don’t look closely then it’s nice. Eg. The outdoor bathroom is cool, however the toilets aren’t secured to the floor so the shift when you sit on them, the shower doesn’t drain so you’re standing in 2inches of your own shower water while you wash, the floor in the shower wasn’t cleaned, no hand towels, the air conditioning unit in one of the rooms smelled weird and musty despite being cool, towels often a bit marked. The breakfast cooked in the room was nice, however despite the staff having a key to the room they’d bang like crazy on the door and scream at the top of their lungs “HELLO BREAKFAST” again and again until you woke up and got out of the bed to let them into the villa. Then they’d cook the food while you might have dozed back off then they’d bang on your bedroom door screaming HELLO BREAKFAST again again again. Just super unnecessary and not a calm way to start the day when you’ve booked the breakfast for a certain time, and they could just let themselves in to cook. We made a note for them to let themselves in in the future rather than waking us up on arrival and then again once it was ready which they did listen to once, but then the loud banging/yelling wake ups continued. Late checkout payment seemed dodgy

If your happy with a good bed, clean pool and decent villa then you can have a great time.
