Villa Ida Villas

Staff

Nice staff, good view. Watch out for all else. AVOID THIS PLACE. The accommodation is not as advertised and the owner is the rudest man in the world. In fact, I am calling Fraud on this place, and that is not a term I use lately. We booked (and would happily pay for) a two bedroom Villa on the beach. We were given one room on the shore that has another room a short stroll behind it beside the parking lot. There is a small outdoor area with a fridge and sink, but in no way is this a Villa of any description. There are many properties in the Amed area what offer accommodation equal to this and at a much lower rate. Booking.com was not especially helpful in this matter. I have worked as a travel writer for many years and have seen all manner of travel scams – this “bait & switch” is an old, and unacceptable. Don’t go to Villa Ida – there are many, many other places in Amed all of which will be more honest about what they have to offer.

beachfront location spacious exceptional staff

nothing. it was perfect

Staff was nice, no one spoke English

The Villa we were given was nice, but completely different and much smaller than the one they advertise in the photos. The photos show a huge villa with a huge pool, this one was half the size advertised and not nearly as glamorous as the photos. Staff was nice, but no one spoke English and we had to take time out of our trip twice to hire a driver to drive 20 min. to run my credit card. In todays day and age, why do I have to drive somewhere else to pay with my card. In addition, it is VERY far from everything, you need to pay additional $ for someone to drive you anywhere. We were in Bali for 2 weeks and this was definitely the worst place we stayed for the most money. Beware! Photos are not of the actual villa. This is nothing against the staff, they were very nice, made great breakfasts and even returned a ring I had left in the safe.
