PAWANA VILLAS

The private pool

Breakfast is very little. The description of the villa was not very clear, I tought to have 2 room with a communication door but actually it was one villa with 2 apartments, one at the ground floor and one above, not the best with children. All night there was a noise but I couldn't figure out from where it was coming from. It was like a fan but our airco was off, maybe from neighbors.

The property needs a good amount of maintenance work doing. It looks old and falling to pieces. In the room description, there are tea and coffee making facilities, but besides a kettle, cups, and saucer, there was no tea, coffee, creamers, or sugar provided. They provide 2 very small bottled water - only 300ml each. How is that supposed to last the 2 people all day? It had outside cooking facilities but no cutlery or crockery. We had cockrochies every day, and we had to get the staff to clean and spray every day, which they did. The staff were lovely however they did not speak English much and they were very understaffed. The eatery was inadequately stocked, and they did not have basic food to supply breakfast, which was included in the price. Once they closed up the kitchen by about 8.00pm without notice. We got in late and didn't want to go out for food. Place's we called to get food were quoting an hour and half waits. It was just not on. If we had known the kitchen was going to be closed, then we would have got a takeaway on the way back.

Everything was good for our needs, friendly staff!

The villa itself has a the classic Bali look which we wanted with its own private pool and is comfortable and clean. The boys that work there were very helpful and tried their best to assist us with everything we needed but unfortunately the property needs a reasonable amount of maintenance to keep it looking as good as it was when it was first built. A lot of the food in the restaurant was "not available" when we came back from day trips and they didn't tell us one evening when the restaurant was closed completely but they did make us a nasi goreng We also found a lot of cockroaches in the room, every night for which they gave us a spray which was very effective

I recently stayed at PAWANA Villa with my family and friends, and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa had a rustic charm with everything made of wood, giving it a cozy and natural feel. We were a group of six, with three of us staying on the first floor and three on the second. The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, creating a very comfortable atmosphere. The bathrooms were just as stunning, adding to the overall charm of the villa. PAWANA Villa is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the world. The location is peaceful and serene, offering a much-needed escape. The breakfast was hands down the best I've had in Bali, with the fried noodles being an absolute highlight—truly to die for! The service was exceptional, and it was clear that the same staff members worked there consistently, ensuring that everything was spotless and well-maintained. They were quick to clean and always left the place in perfect condition. The private pool was a fantastic addition, and my family had so much fun enjoying it together. Another great feature was the villa's location. It was within walking distance to Paoman Restaurant and a newly opened villa, where we had the opportunity to experience a buffet and fire show—an amazing treat! We were lucky that these places were open, as otherwise, we would have had to rely on a cab for transportation. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I highly recommend PAWANA Villa for anyone looking to relax and experience the beauty of Bali in a peaceful, rustic setting.

While our stay at PAWANA Villa was mostly enjoyable, there were a few things that could be improved. One downside was the restaurant closing before 8:30 pm, which was a bit early for us. Additionally, breakfast didn’t start until 7:30 am, so if you had an activity scheduled early in the morning (like at 8:00 am), you would miss it, as cooking only begins at that time. Another challenge was the noise from the roosters. There’s a farm nearby, and if you're staying on the second floor, you’ll hear them constantly throughout the day. It can get quite loud and disruptive, especially for light sleepers. The location was another disappointment for us. While some reviews mentioned it being in a good area, we found that there was not much to do around the villa, and everything was quite far away. We had expected more nearby attractions, but aside from a school, there was little else within walking distance. If it weren’t for the restaurant nearby, we would’ve had to take a cab to get to Ubud town or other attractions, which was a bit inconvenient. I was really hoping for a more central location with more things to do close by. Overall, while the villa itself was lovely, I do want to emphasize that the location isn’t as convenient as some might expect based on other reviews.

Villa looked exactly like the photos. Staff were amazing and more than helpful!

The ambiance of the room was fantastic, and so were the gardens and the private plunge pool. We enjoyed the remote location close to rice paddy fields. Found a fantastic restaurant to use at a resort a few hundred meters further down the road.

The stairs to the second floor room were narrow and difficult to use, and got wet when the roof leaked in the rain- very slippery!! The rooms were very dark. The food was below standard- small meals for price, didn't come out together, parts were hot and parts were cold, parts were missing, unreliable. Place was run by young men who were disorganized. Bed was hard.
