Balian Seaview Surf Villas

Location and cleanliness.

The view of the sea is great. Sunsets and surf break. Walking distance to Town. Kitchen is functional. Staff takes care of you. Wi-Fi strong

Pool not in service

Nothing. Didn’t even get to stay due to terrible communication

Upon booking in the morning to stay at this place I waited around all afternoon messaging and calling the displayed number to no avail. Got charged for the stay and resulted in staying somewhere else - save your money and go to bailan paradise hotel instead

Location is great, staff is awesome and welcoming. Parking and facilities are meeting the expectations. The view from the room straight into the surf lineup, which is awesome! Will stay there again. Perfect place with garden and pool.

Honestly, nothing

The entire listing is one big lie and the “owner” doesn’t change it after many complaints. - the entire place was extremely filthy when I arrived, not cleaned in ages and no one was there to welcome me - no hot water and water pressure is very very low. Some guests left because of this. - i left the place because I couldn’t stand the bs any longer - even though it’s close to the beach like 5 minutes walking, it is NOT beachfront - there is no “private beach” - there are surfboards in the garage but they don’t have fins and there is no wax - there is a lot of random unnecessary stuff stored in the garage and stuff that old guests left - there are no on site yoga classes as listed - there is no laundry service with additional charge as listed. You have to bring it yourself to the laundromat - the pool does NOT work for a long time already but the owner doesn’t remove it from the listing and even lies that it is not possible to remove it. It made me so angry because it was the reason I booked the place - the pool is covered with a blue sheet but it not fully secured so it is dangerous for children and pets that roam around in the garden. My puppy almost fell in the 3 meters empty pool and I hurt myself to save her - there is a not friendly dog named Faith in the property. Even though i feel bas for her because it’s a rescue from a previous guest, I didn’t like the fact that I had to be extremely cautious around her with my puppy. She also bit my puppy which made me feel stressed. Housekeeping lady downplays it by saying that she is vaccinated but the other guests also told me that the dog almost bit them - the entire place is extremely dirty. All equipment in kitchen is super dirty - the rooms smell like people that haven’t washed themselves in ages - all sheets have yellow stains on them. The housekeeping lady said it doesn’t come out even after laundry but I told her to buy new sheets if that’s the case.

Nothing Unless you surf, there is nothing to do.

The accommodation was very hard to gain access to. There was no contact from the property staff prior to arrival. Even though I messaged with my arrival time of 1500hrs. I couldn’t find the building as there was no name attached outside. I couldn’t get in as it was all locked up. The contact number and WhatsApp didn’t connect or receive a reply from. We waited outside for an hour before a fellow guest let us in. Once in there was no info on which room was ours. The fellow guest basically checked us in and gave us all the info needed. The room was filthy. Under the bed hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Old plastic water bottles, tissues and hair. The sheets were heavily stained and the pillow case where dirty with use. The bathroom had toothpaste stains and dirt on the shower floor. I was genuinely thinking that I was in a room that was already in use. There was no hot water at all in the bathroom and the pool was out of action and empty. The hot water and pool issues had been reported in June via previous reviews but nothing had changed. In the morning after 1 of 3 nights booked and payed for, we left. We spoke with the house keeper who was in and cleaning. A very nice lady and very accommodating. And informed that there is no hot water at the whole building and hasn’t been any for a long time. Same for the pool. It’s been out of action for several months. The owner is Australian and will not am end the BOOKING.COM details. The contact details on the website are incorrect so you have no chance of communication with the site, ever. The area is a let down as well. It’s like it’s had limited investment into the beach area years ago and now it’s a forgotten asset. It’s a dump really and you shouldn’t waste your money coming here when Bali has so many beautiful places.

I am more than glad to found this Gem. Lina, the host , was just the most kind woman ever ❤️ because of her I felt like home, she helped me so much with everything, went even to the market and brang me regularly chicken for my dog. I can’t tell how much I loved to stay here! The location is more than perfect, like 1 minute from the beach, nice restaurants around and a great vibe to calm down! The bed is super comfy and you can cook for yourself in the kitchen :)

Would be amazing to have the pool done, but k also understand that it’s water-waste in low season. So for that point I thinking’s good to take care for the economy, while the ocean is just a few steps away :)

The location was incredible—it was so relaxing to hear the waves and open the window to the sea breeze, with the ocean just across the road. The managing staff was incredibly helpful, and I loved that I could bring my dog along to stay.

There was no Wi-Fi, and when I checked in, there was no one to greet or assist me (it seems the owner doesn’t communicate bookings with the staff, which led to some stress with other guests and issues with double bookings). The room could use more furniture—perhaps a bedside lamp and a comfortable chair or couch. As it stands, it’s just a bed in a room.
