Villa Biru - 500m Batubelig beach

Great

All good

Heel groot en schoon! Ziet er uit als op de foto’s!

The villa is gorgeous, and set in a tranquil and serene environment, with birds chirping in the mornings. Despite the living space being in the open, it wasn’t hot as you could feel the breeze going through the property. I really like that the 2 bedrooms are basically 2 separate buildings connected by the garden and common living space. There is Netflix provided and we had movie nights when we just wanted to chill. There is a hot/cold filtered water dispenser which really saves us the trouble of having to buy bottled water. Last but not least, Laura, the host, was wonderful and very prompt in answering our queries.

The property looks like it needs some T&C, as paints are peeling, unsightly stains on the bathroom floors as well as toilet bowl seats that definitely has seen better days. The next few issues are very minor and more of personal preference but it would definitely have elevated my experience in the villa :- 1. Very underpowered hairdryer. It was only 350W, whereas the one I own is 1200W. So basically it took forever to dry my hair. 2. The pillows were too tall for some of us and we ended up not having the best sleep. It would be great if there were 2 types of pillow in each room. 3. We couldn’t find the iron even though it was listed as available at the villa. 4. The lanes leading to the villa are not well lit and we had to use the torchlight on our phones when we were walking back to the property at night. Perhaps, providing a torchlight would be a thoughtful gesture.

The pool and garden were beautiful, loved the outdoor living and the staff were great !

Plumbing definitely needs some work , shower head very old and needs replacing , drains blocked & staining in the shower . Front door doesn’t lock as need repair. Needs New bedding and towels as very old and stained . If the few maintenance jobs and upgrades were done to the property it would be a really great stay as location is great
