Umah Watu Villas

Very well designed villas with beautiful furniture and layout. Care was obviously taken at every turn. Extremely clean and immaculately maintained. The staff and owner couldn’t have been more helpful and hospitable.

Nothing, no complaints

The warm greeting on arrival and explanation of all the facilities. Umah Watu has the charm of the Bali of old. The villa was full of local craftsmanship that reminds you that you are in Bali. The villa was so private but also close to an abundance of restaurants. The cleanliness of the villa and the great aircon in the bedroom was very welcome. Being able to have the use of a kitchen for drinks and nibbles before dinner was an added bonus. This is not a new and modern villa with little soul this is a little haven of the old Bali and is truly charming. We will be returning.

Not much

Im not sure how this property has a 4* rating as it presented no more than a very local homestay at the very end of a shabby laneway. The standard room was very small and on arrival very musty. The decor was old and cluttered with table mats and doilies on all the surfaces. The bathroom which was outside made me feel quite exposed and I was told to keep the door locked in case someone was to jump over, this was followed by a jokey comment by the owner that it had never happened, which I assumed was an attemp to re-assure me!! On this occasion I was disappointed that I had booked for a weeks stay as it was not for me. I did not find it charming or particularly comfortable despite being given an upgraded room.

Great location with excellent cafe called ‘Local’ nearby to start the day with. Very conveniently located close to shopping strip, restaurants and bars, markets and a delicious warung, though the villa itself is on such a quiet street. The pool was sensational; we loved that the villa became our little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak when we needed some down time! Peter and the team looked after us so well. Communication was great and everyone was so willing to help whenever we needed anything at all. Nothing was too much trouble, including the option to provide a pool fence if we felt we needed it for our very young kids.

There was very little to fault, honestly. Perhaps if travelling with really young kids, as we did, just be mindful of how slippery all the tiles can get in the living/dining area when you’re spending a lot of time around the pool.

This place was okay but not rated as over 9.0.

Shower and toilet were outside. No hot shower was available and smells old. The address was very confused that my taxi driver took 1 hour driving around.

Authentic Balinese style villa in a good location. Peter was a very welcoming and informative host and his service team couldn’t have been more helpful. I highly recommend the airport pickup service, and the driver, Putu, also took us on a fantastic day trip to the Tanah Lot temple and the Jatiluwih rice terraces … highly recommend.

Nothing

The staff, decor and pool.

Friendly and helpful host/staff! You are treated like family! Set up good communication with Whatsapp before arrival.They arranged airport meet/greet/pickup. Gave good advice in preparation of arrival in avoiding long lines at customs. Good location, close to the beach, places for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Just have to be careful walking the dark street which the Villa is on as there are several open/uncovered holes in the middle. Use you cell flashlight walking at night.
