This was truly the best place I could have chosen to stay during my trip to Bali.
The villa itself was impeccable, spotlessly clean, beautifully designed, and filled with thoughtful touches and artwork that gave it an authentic Balinese charm. The pool was the perfect temperature, the gardens were carefully maintained, and the villa had everything I could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The location was also incredibly convenient: close to shops, the flea market, a lovely breakfast café just two minutes away, and only a short five-minute walk to a sunset beach and great local restaurants.
But what really made this stay unforgettable were the people. Thank you, Peter, for being such a fantastic and knowledgeable owner. I was also lucky enough to meet and be looked after by Tonno, Anna, Putu, and Made throughout my stay. They were warm, attentive, kind, and genuinely caring—always ready to help, answer my questions, and make sure I felt completely at ease. They were some of the kindest people I met in Bali, and their hospitality made the villa feel like a true home away from home.
Thank you all so much for making my visit so special. I’ll absolutely be booking again on my next trip to Bali.
Absolutely nothing.

Everything. Beautifully appointed, friendly and attentive staff. Good location, driver through accommodation showed me more of Bali than I could have anticipated.
I liked everything. If something wasn’t “perfect “ management and staff made every effort to correct it immediately.

Good location, although approach road is challenging. Property good and clean - Near to all attractions in Seminyak
All were good- could have small cafe to serve B/f

Very well designed villas with beautiful furniture and layout. Care was obviously taken at every turn.
Extremely clean and immaculately maintained.
The staff and owner couldn’t have been more helpful and hospitable.
Nothing, no complaints

The warm greeting on arrival and explanation of all the facilities. Umah Watu has the charm of the Bali of old. The villa was full of local craftsmanship that reminds you that you are in Bali. The villa was so private but also close to an abundance of restaurants. The cleanliness of the villa and the great aircon in the bedroom was very welcome. Being able to have the use of a kitchen for drinks and nibbles before dinner was an added bonus. This is not a new and modern villa with little soul this is a little haven of the old Bali and is truly charming. We will be returning.
4.0 / 10.0
Not much
Im not sure how this property has a 4* rating as it presented no more than a very local homestay at the very end of a shabby laneway.
The standard room was very small and on arrival very musty. The decor was old and cluttered with table mats and doilies on all the surfaces.
The bathroom which was outside made me feel quite exposed and I was told to keep the door locked in case someone was to jump over, this was followed by a jokey comment by the owner that it had never happened, which I assumed was an attemp to re-assure me!!
On this occasion I was disappointed that I had booked for a weeks stay as it was not for me.
I did not find it charming or particularly comfortable despite being given an upgraded room.
8.0 / 10.0
Great location with excellent cafe called ‘Local’ nearby to start the day with. Very conveniently located close to shopping strip, restaurants and bars, markets and a delicious warung, though the villa itself is on such a quiet street. The pool was sensational; we loved that the villa became our little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak when we needed some down time!
Peter and the team looked after us so well. Communication was great and everyone was so willing to help whenever we needed anything at all. Nothing was too much trouble, including the option to provide a pool fence if we felt we needed it for our very young kids.
There was very little to fault, honestly. Perhaps if travelling with really young kids, as we did, just be mindful of how slippery all the tiles can get in the living/dining area when you’re spending a lot of time around the pool.
9.0 / 10.0
The common area was a nice concept to get together. Fridge and kitchen facilities was great. The mosquito net around the bed was practical and romantic. The rooms were big. The garden area was gorgeous and the location was great with a minimart close by. The staff was very friendly
The wifi mainly worked in the common area and the appartment above it. Because of the common area being open, you had to take care not to leave any food out in the open for ants to get into, but not much the accomodation can do about that. The bed matrasses felt too soft and pillows too flat.

We had a great stay at the 3 bedroom villa. We enjoyed the huge space, comfy beds and lovely pool and outdoor area. Peter and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were ok, we arrived very, very late at night but Tono was there to welcome us, Peter organised medications when our son was unwell, Anna bought fruit for us from local markets which were cheaper than those close by and Putu the driver was a laugh and happily accommodated our v large family of 6 (plus luggage) in his car via a complicated live-action tetris game - honestly, a lovely bunch of people.
There were a couple of little mishaps, like the power going off, but these were sorted out quickly and efficiently and we were kept well informed. Looking at the general infrastructure of Bali it seems this is a regular thing and couldn't be helped.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay. The villa we had was amazing, super comfortable. Kins size bed with good mattress. The room was very spacious. The staff was super kind and offered some restaurant recomendations. They helped us with our laundry for an additional charge and also helped us with a driver from our other hotel and to the airport. We had an amazing time and would definetly stay there again.
To be completely honest the bathroom / shower a great experience, buuuut it was like an outdoor situation. No one can see you and you do have a roof but since its design as an outdoor area, in times of hot weather it can get pretty warm especially if you like showering with warmer water. The location was good the only thing is that to get there you need to walk in some narrow roads and at night its very dark so its not ideal.

A lovely Balinese Villa in the hub of Seminyak close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Once inside this very private and secure courtyard you can enjoy a quiet time beside the pool. The gardens and surrounds are beautiful as is the main house where breakfast is served by the delightful Anna and her husband. I particularly enjoyed the sculptures and paintings which give Umah Watu it's home away from home feel!
10.0 / 10.0
The place was great, we really enjoyed everything - the room was very spacious and well equipped, as well as perfectly clean. It was cleaned daily.
I particularly liked the shower being in a more open area - seen this in a few places in Bali and I really really enjoy it !
The manager of the property was very kind and helpful.
Although it doesn't offer breakfast (just facilities to make it by yourself), there are different places available in a walking distance.
There was an electricity cut-off. It was written that this is due to general issues in Bali, but all neighbouring houses seemed to have their lights on. However, it was resolved super fast, so didn't really bother us!!
The place is at the end of a very small street so taxi drivers struggle a bit, and in dark it's not a very comfy walk, but it's close to everything, so it doesn't last long.

The villa is intimate with only 2 or 3 rooms, the lobby is well decorated and the garden with the pool, despite quite small, is pleasant
We were in the standard double room on the ground floor. This rooms is described as 35m2 but is actually around 16 or 18m2 max so when the luggages are open, there is no much place to move. The bathroom is very rustic . And last the view is not exactly what it is indicated : the view on the rice field is also a view on a worksite; the view on the river does not really exit, there is just a small channel behind the wall

The location was excellent - very close to the beach!
The bathrooms did not have water at the right pressure and could have been cleaner.
9.0 / 10.0
The villa is exceptional, very spacious, and artistic.
Cool and spacious bedrooms.
Fish ponds, flowers, and art all add to a restful sanctuary. Peter, Anna, Putu and others all were available to make our stay so good.
Walking distance to local Cafe with good food and coffee.
Narrow roads and broken footpaths in area so just be aware walking esp after dark.

This hotel was good, comfortable bed, decent size room and friendly and caring staff.
This hotel consists of only two rooms. Note that you will hear everything that happens on the top room. It didn't bother us as the couple that was staying above us was lovely and quiet.

Nice room overlooking the pool and rice paddies. Pool was a great size although unfortunately out of action for several days during our stay. Fully equipped kitchen and communal living area that we had to ourselves for the majority of the week. Location great with a bike or to walk to the beach, a little far to walk to the main town in the heat.
Villa-style accommodation meant there were very few guests to staff ratio (often just us), which was sometimes a little uncomfortable. As mentioned pool was out of action for a few days during our stay which we were not warned about

Absolutely stunning private villa with beautiful rooms and kitchen, living area. The lush courtyard with private infinity pool was a huge highlight and the open air kitchen and living space were wonderful. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well equipped with enormous windows. This is a true oasis!

Our room was beautiful. Elevated on the first floor, three walls were made of timber windows and an outdoor bathroom was lined with terrazzo. The hotel sits in the middle of busy Seminyak but its walled garden is an oasis at the end of a quiet lane. Peter is the most attentive and engaging host. Thank you for your hospitality.

Really amazing staff, Tonno was great and I could WhatsApp him when I needed anything. The driver Puta was great and Peter the owner plus Anna the cook, all very welcoming. Peter made sure I was looked after and treated all his guests like family
Initially some awkwardness about payment which was a misunderstanding but was not an ideal first topic of conversation. Also it’s a little far back from the main town and requires walking with motor bikes and cars

Very friendly hosts, who couldn't do enough for us and offered lots of help and advice. Beautiful place to stay. Very comfortable villas and excellent facilities.
