Araya Luxe Villa

Большая вилла! Расположение около пляжа

Вилла уставшая , грязная с плесенью. Везде щели через которые лезут пауки и прочие насекомые. Участок не ухоженный, бассейн грязный в плане воды. Нас не заселили вовремя, благодаря ребят со стройки мы нашли контакты уборщика который отвечает за эту виллу и нам удалось связаться с хозяйкой. Так же я писал о том что если у вас стройка или проблемы с водой - пожалуйста не заселяйте нас и отмените бронь, нам конечно же никто не сказал что стройка прямо в 1 метре от спальни. Ежедневно с 7 утра до 7 вечера стройка , очень большая и шумная!

Грязь, стройка, насекомые.

1. Relatively close to the ocean (though I personally preferred Seseh Beach, but that’s just personal taste). 2. This used to be a wonderful, secluded spot with beautiful views and great privacy. Sadly, at the time of our stay, it was the complete opposite. 3. The villa itself is quite new — newer than many others in Bali. 4. We received a partial refund (70%). So it’s not a scam — the owners just had the bad luck of construction next door. That said, they really should update the photos on Booking.com. 5. Arwika, who greeted us and showed us around, was incredibly friendly, polite, and kind. Big thanks to him!

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place. When we arrived, there was major construction happening right next door — and I mean literally next door. The workers were walking just a few meters above our pool. It was such a shame, because this used to be a truly unique and beautiful place to stay. 1. The photos on Booking.com were seriously outdated. When I booked, the pictures showed endless rice fields right from the villa. In reality, a huge construction site had popped up immediately next to the pool. From the first floor, the view was just a dull gray concrete wall, and from the second floor, all you could see was the construction itself — workers, heavy machinery, the works. Maybe it’s finished now, but in May 2025 this was the situation. 2. Constant noise from heavy machinery, conversations between workers, the smell of concrete — and the workers were literally walking along the wall between our villa and the new build, just meters away, right above the pool. It completely ruined the sense of privacy (see photos). 3. I knew electricity was paid separately, but I thought the manager would just deduct it from the deposit. Nope. Instead, you have to go to a store yourself and top it up. And the nearest shop wasn’t exactly around the corner. So instead of relaxing, you end up doing mental math on local electricity rates and wondering if the power will cut out at the worst possible moment. Thankfully, the staff member who welcomed us helped with the payment — huge thanks to him. 4. No basic toiletries provided — no soap, no shower gel, no shampoo. The manager confirmed they don’t offer these, and you have to buy your own. Not exactly great when you’ve just arrived from a long trip and can’t even wash your hands. 5. Management was slow to respond to messages (though to be fair, they did respond eventually).

Nothing

From the moment we arrived, it was clear the apartment was in unacceptable condition: mold and dampness were present throughout. The location is extremely inconvenient. it’s at least a 30‑minute drive to Canggu and easily an hour to any other destination. We discovered it sits right beside a construction site the owner only mentioned the day before arrival. She assured us work would be limited to 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (sometimes until 10 p.m.), but that was a massive understatement. The noise from cranes and drills was relentless, even shaking the water in the bathroom in the morning. In the upstairs bedroom, leaving the curtains open means construction workers can see straight inside, and the bathroom has no window covering at all: total lack of privacy. On top of that, one of the showers didn’t work initially, a basic issue a host should fix long before guests arrive. In the living room, the windows aren’t sealed properly, so insects constantly came in, and worst of all: behind a kitchen cabinet we found a huge ant nest. One stray crumb was enough to attract hundreds, it was absolutely the worst part of our stay. To make matters worse, the pool was dirty and unsafe, with missing tiles that caused me to cut my foot, definitely not suitable for children. We were truly relieved when we finally left. This stay was a complete not pleasant and completely misleading. In my opinion, no one should ever book this property. If they don’t solve the flaws!

We stayed at Araya Luxe Villa from January 26 to 29, and we absolutely loved the location—it was just a 5-minute walk to the seashore, which was perfect. The villa itself was very pleasant, but there were a few issues that stood out.

The towels were quite old and had turned from white to a deep grey, which was disappointing. Additionally, one of the sinks didn’t have water, which was a bit inconvenient. The pillows were also too big and uncomfortable for sleeping, making it hard to get a good rest.

The villa is new, cozy, the staff is amazing very very efficient with our enquiries.

Location can be a bit far from Center Canggu but we knew that.

Great accommodation. Nice pool. WiFi great. Overall just comfortable. The location is Cemagi, which is quiet and remote.

1. You actually need transport to get around. Not walking distance to any restaurants or shops. Hard to get Grab XL / Gojek XL because of the remote location. 2. Electricity not included. Had to pay for electricity upfront not knowing what it would cost. This meant buying a voucher at the small supermarket and constantly checking the remaining credits. This is a hassle one shouldn’t have to deal with on a short stay. This is not something you expect nor pay attention to while booking. That’s why the explicitly say this in the confirmation email (and when it’s too late to cancel).

Great Value Not a busy street - nice and peaceful Very clean Awesome pool Big balcony Comfy beds Full kitchen Close to the beach Nice cafes a short ride or walk away Seems like new VERY helpful staff - organized and dropped off motorbikes

Maybe the location is a little remote but we really liked it.
