Deswa inn

Good location, nice pool, comfortable bed, clean shower

Room was not prepared when we came - had to ask for everything - towels, toilet paper, kettle, etc.

1st-off - DESWA is not an Inn - it is 2 rooms within the Warsa Bungalows Development which has got really bad reviews here on booking.com. I only found out when I was checking in. The owner was as smart as to take 2 renovated rooms out of the equation and name them after his daughter . 2. I cannot understand the great reviews for I cannot find many positive features about the room. If you call your place an "Inn" it should somehow have something in common with an Inn. Staff was mostly grumpy, not visible or busy with watching videos. One positive thing is the pool. It is of decent size and the water is clean. Read the reviews of Warsa Garden Bungalows to get the right picture. I could write a lot more but I do not want to waste my time on this place.

Please look at my photos which prove what I am writing here. There is a rundown reception area and a deserted common area which looks very poor. There is a water dispenser which is not in use and some furniture. The most important feature is the gun which the owner uses to shoot at monkeys who come by at times - because the surrounding area and especially the monkey forest is their habitat. Many people come especially for the monkeys. The owner should consider: No monkeys no tourists - no money for him. Let's talk about the room. It was renovated at some point of time but the humidity is back and there are stains and wet spots on the walls (see pictures) which means damp environment. In 2 of 4 nights I had ants in my bed - most probably due to the wooden headboard. Room is only cleaned on request which I placed after day 3. No towel change, no stocking up of water, tea, coffee. When I asked for it I was told this is only given on the very first day. (all other hotels and guesthouses all over Bali give you 2 water bottles, tea and coffee for free every day or they have a water refill station in the lobby) After I had asked I was handed a 300ml bottle of water, I also had to ask for toilet paper etc. - I was told that this is not policy but I will get some because I have not asked for room cleaning for 2 days. There are only black-out drapes on the windows which means: You are either on display to the very loud neigbours who are sitting on their balcony looking right into your window or you are sitting in the dark - make your choice. Of course you can turn the light on, but this is not exactly what one wants to do in your holidays. Neighbors were very loud, used speakerphone for calls, listened to music loudly. I mentioned it towards a staff member but nothing changed. The fridge had not been cleaned before I checked in. The rest of the room and the bathroom was clean. I am very sorry - but I cannot resommend this place. Too many things that I did not like.

The photos are 100 % accurate. This place is great and very clean. The room is large and newly renovated with all comforts. Very hot shower, Internet TV, big comfy bed, quality linen, and quality fittings. It's set back from the main street, so sleeping is uninterrupted. The pool is also spotless. You can tell that the owner takes pride in his place, not like many others here.

The only thing there is no breakfast option.

Clean pool, room and facilities. The lady was very helpful and offered to organise transport to attractions. Nice central location
