Villa Medina Canggu

I stayed in Villa Medina with my girlfriend and a couple of friends and we all really enjoyed it. Staff is amazing and very helpful. Location is as central as it can be really walking distance to some of the best restaurants cafes in Canggu also just a 15+min walk to the beach Villa have a great rooftop with an amazing sunset aswell

There was not much to not love

Staff were great, upon arrival and check out. The photos looked better than the villa itself self.

The place is falling apart & it’s a mosquito haven. All windows are corroded and falling apart so you’re unable to close them to prevent mosquitoes from entering the property. The view is of construction sites, upper two bedrooms have zero privacy. Pool was slimy and murky. Location is ok, close to Copenhagen cafe but still quite far from the main restaurants and bars.

We recently had the most incredible stay at a villa Medina in Canggu, and it was perfect for our family trip. We were traveling with my sister's family, including her two children, and the house was spacious enough to accommodate all 6 of us comfortably. The villa itself was stunning, with beautiful Balinese furniture and accessories, making it a dream location for anyone who loves taking photos :) The pool was a huge hit with the kids, who spent hours splashing around. While a large part of it was deep, there was still plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The location was ideal—it was very peaceful and quiet, yet just a short walk from some amazing restaurants - Santanera restaurant is a must visit! The staff were wonderful and very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. During our stay, the villa was cleaned several times, but it could be cleaned daily upon request. It was an unforgettable family vacation. The villa provided a perfect blend of privacy and togetherness. I highly recommend it for any group or family looking for a special place to stay in Canggu! Thank you!

Location is great within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and the beach. The staff (Augung - the manager) and the cleaners was excellent and very helpful. Had all the amenities and the beds were comfortable.

The taps in the bathroom and showers were not upto a good standard so the water flow wasn’t good.

Great communication and very responsive. we organised. cot and high chair with no issues. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nice and large and the kitchen was well equipped. Pool was lovely and wifi was great.

The property looks much nicer in the photos. It is a little rundown in places and is in much need of some maintenance. The air conditioners weren’t overly effective, they needed to be turned right down and left on all the time. The villa on Google Maps doesn’t show up in the correct location and it can’t be accessed by cars, so to order taxis and food delivery, we needed to set a location down the road and meet there.

Disappointing. Looks good in photos, but reality is a bit different. The villa looks much better in the photos — they’re clearly outdated and professionally taken, hiding key issues. If you need to take pretty pictures, it’s a good place for it. But the management will ask you to pay extra for that,even though it’s not listed online. For example, the view from the balcony overlooks a construction site, with constant noise from workers and tools all day long. The bathrooms are in terrible condition: rusty windows with holes large enough for a tennis ball to fit through. The toilet didn’t work, but I didn’t bother reporting it because I knew the manager wouldn’t care. The internet is practically unusable — it’s completely down from 11:00 to 14:00, and the rest of the time it’s only good enough for Instagram. If you need reliable internet, this isn’t the place. When the power went out in the city, we couldn’t find a single flashlight or candle. I messaged the manager saying we had an early flight and needed to check out earlier than planned, but he never replied to tell us how to lock up the villa or where to leave the keys. It’s clear that once they’ve received the payment, they don’t care about providing any service. The villa manager is the worst: he ignores messages, and it took me over three hours to get a response. He also shows up unannounced every day, claiming he needs to “check the electricity,” which felt intrusive. The listing promised an airport transfer, but when we asked about it, we were told no — without any explanation. Bottom line: This villa is misleading, poorly managed, and has major service issues. I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Beautiful interior and pool. Great place to hang out with lots of natural light. Really high quality aesthetic finish and nice and clean. Pool was fun and the layout of the property was great.

I think this will improve, but it was expensive, considering it was right next to a very rough construction site.
