Nice Villa with some problems
In total I really like this Villa, but there were some things, that were really annoying about it. Pros: - The rooms of Villa Tjok are honestly the best rooms of all Villas I've seen in Bali. They are big and give a lot of space for everything with big king size beds. - The cleaning guy cleans the rooms three times a week, so that the villa is cleaned most of the time. - Umalas is a really nice region to live. It's more like a street of villas for foreigners. Thus the street is compared to other streets clean, green, quiet and seems more safe. Nevertheless, there are a lot of street dogs even they are peaceful. From The Villa you can reach everythingelse quite fast. Cons: - How someone already told the big wall on the one side of the Villa shields the Outdoor Area, so there is just sun till about 2-3 pm. Positive thing about this is, that the pool always stays cool and refreshing. - Missing common Area. There is no real Area and also no real Table to eat together. The Gazebo is to high, so we nearly didn't use it all. - High costs for laundry and electricity. Since those costs are not included. You'll need about 8€ extra every week for electricity and laundry. - Especially in the rooms downstairs there is a lot of mould. So you have to watch out to open the windows enough, so that the humidity gets not to high. In the rooms upstairs there was nearly no mould. - The owner doesn't care about some problems. Our kitchen roof was broken and about 10 lights werr broken as well. We told him several times, but they didn't fix it. Especially the broken kitchen roof was really annoying. When raining season started, the kitchen floor became very slippery and it was quite dangerous to walk in the kitchen. - There was always shit of bats or geckos on our balconies, so in the dark you had to watch out not to step on it. In total I would still recommend the villa. Especially the rooms were compared to other Villas really nice. We had a cold pool and Umalas is a really nice region to live. But the kitchen and also some other things should be renewed.
A place where you can feel at home
The villa is a place where you can really feel at home. The size is perfect for 3 people and the rooms are relatively large, so even with visitors you have enough space. The furnishings are relatively modern and the cleaning staff are nice. It's a quiet neighbourhood but as mentioned before you have everything you need close by (supermarket, laundry, and warungs). There are two other villas from the same owner right next door which was really great as there are usually other students staying there. The bathrooms could be in a better condition, but for Balinese standards it is ok and also the cleaning is "Bali style", however the staff and the owner were very helpful when we needed help. The neighbourhood is good. Seminyak and Canggu are quite close and it takes about 30-40 minutes to get to Uni.
Autumn in Bali 2017
My expectations for the student exchange in Bali were quite high because I went to Bali. I am happy to say that my expectations were met and I really enjoyed my stay in Bali. After just one month in Bali, I experienced so much and got to know so many people and a completely different culture. It was nice that you always had someone to ask questions to and you always got help from the people working for the programme, which made it very comfortable for the students.
Studying at Warmadewa University
Studying at Warmadewa University is a unique experience for me. During my time in Bali, I have met many new people. Not only from Europe, but also from Bali. The classes are very personalised and the lecturers are always willing to help. I really enjoyed my time at Wamadewa University, especially the Indonesian classes. When you study at Warmadewa, you are not only studying your course subjects, but also the local culture and that is the main reason why I decided to study here.
Studying at the Warmadewa
I am currently studying at Wamadewa! It's a great experience and a good way to get to know a different side of Bali :)
Study in Bali
I am currently studying in Bali at Warmadewa University and I love it! It's the perfect place to study if you want to meet local people and learn about Balinese and Indonesian culture. You can live in paradise for a while and I can really recommend studying at Warmadewa University through Asia Exchange.
Spring 2017 was wonderful
I have enjoyed every day of my student life in Bali. The teachers at Udayana are nice and helpful. I love the staff at AE
The BIPAS programme in autumn is fantastic
I loved every moment of my semester abroad. I love Asia Exchange and the BIPAS programme!
A beautiful villa with large rooms
We had a great stay in the Fortune apartment. Each of the rooms is clean and offers enough space. The house itself is just great. Our rooms were cleaned every day and the staff helped us with any problem without any complaint. I definitely recommend it to others!
BIPAS Autumn 2017
I am currently studying through the BIPAS programme for the autumn semester 2017 and it has really exceeded my expectations. The team is helpful and the courses are fun! An experience I will never forget. The environment is great and the school is beautiful. You get quick answers to questions from Asia Exchange and they help you with any problems.
BIPAS Autumn 2017
My decision to spend a semester abroad in Bali is the best decision I have ever made. I just love everything about it. Asia Exchange and the BIPAS programme are really great. A great and helpful team and a fantastic student life!
enjoying spring 2016 with BIPAS in Bali:
I loved going to uni all semester - arriving on the beautiful, green campus and meeting the smiling staff. I would definitely recommend the law course (I can honestly say I loved it)! The experienced staff at Asia Exchange were really helpful and responded to queries quickly.
BIPAS Programme Udayana University
I am studying at Udayana University in Bali and am taking part in the BIPAS programme of Asia Exchange. The application was easy and you get a quick response to any questions you have. You are kept up to date at all times about the processes and procedures. There is always a contact person from Asia Exchange in the university office. I like the organisation and would recommend Asia Exchange to anyone who wants to come to Bali!
Wiki Apartment
The pool was a bit small and not for sun worshippers. There are sunbeds available, but they are in the shade most of the time. The house has a nice terrace with several seating areas. Unfortunately there is a very bad dog problem. There are often a lot of dogs outside the house at night. They also get inside the house because the sliding door cannot be locked. The dogs also bark very loudly all the time. Recently, the power has also regularly gone out every night. What is also missing is a security service. The room was okay and clean. There was a wardrobe, a table with a mirror, a double bed and two bedside cabinets. The bathroom was okay. It was cleaned once a week, not three times as described. Not a problem for me, but the description should be changed accordingly. There is a communal kitchen. Everyone has a small fridge in their room. I rented the Wiki Apartment for a month. The first two weeks were great, as there were other students living there at the time. Unfortunately, no more students came after that. The owner and his wife were always very nice and very helpful. There is also a laundry service just round the corner. About 3 minutes on foot. It took us around 20-25 minutes to get to the university by scooter, depending on traffic. The Double Six beach is about 7 minutes away by scooter.
Great accomodation right next to udayana!
We staying in Bali for our study abroad at the udayana university and choose the terrace garden as our accomodation. It was a very great experience. The terrace garden Staff is always friendly, the rooms are clean and it is a very nice location with place where you can chill and a nice Pool. If we had questions we could ask the manager every time and they helped us directly. The terrace garden is located directly next to the university we only had to walk about 5 minutes there are many beaches around and a minimart. If I come back to Bali I think I will come back to the terrace garden :-).
The best villa!
If you come to Bali, you should definitely stay in this villa. Good facilities and a lovely friendly family! The best place to stay in Bali!
Best place in Bali:
I stayed at Villa Batubelig for the first time in 2014 for 5 months. This is the third time I have visited Gede and his family and every time it is great and relaxing in this beautiful place. I can highly recommend the villa for long stays as well as short stays.
Fortune Apartments
In general, the accommodation here at Tunjung Asri Villa was really good. You had a room to yourself with everything you needed and even a little extra. There were a few little things that I didn't like, but they could be worked on. At first it was very difficult to communicate with the staff as they hardly spoke any English. They are all really nice but if you have problems it is sometimes hard to make them understand. We also had problems with the other guests because it sometimes got a bit noisy but that can be easily (and decently) explained to us. However, another guest became really aggressive and attacked two of our girls, which is simply not ok and unacceptable.
Best villa in Bali
I lived in Villa Rajawali for a semester with 9 other people. The villa is not very modern but has great character. The Balinese style of the villa makes it look special and sets it apart from other accommodation. Much more important, however, is the unbeatable location, with the scooter it is only a short drive to all the good restaurants, beaches, shops and bars. No other villa comes close. The large pool, the great garden with the pond and the huge table outside make Villa Rajawali the perfect place to welcome friends, enjoy your time and feel at home away from home. The homeowner Domi and his family also made our stay special, they really are the nicest and most kind-hearted people I have ever met. All in all it was a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend them to others.
Großartige, sauber und sichere Unterkunft / Brilliant, clean and safe accommodation
DEUTSCH (for english version please scroll down) We received a very friendly welcome on arrival. We were immediately offered a welcome drink and everything was shown and explained to us. The accommodation, which is slightly set back so that you can't hear the traffic, has 6 very spacious rooms with double beds, each with its own bathroom with shower and toilet, as well as a fridge, TV, safe etc. There is also a large, very clean bathroom with a shower and toilet. There is also a large, very clean pool and a communal living area with a kitchen and a communal toilet. There is also free WiFi and a sound system. The entire accommodation is cleaned regularly and is therefore very clean. A gardener regularly looks after the lawn and pool. The very friendly landlords live right next door and help immediately with any problems. This also gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture. For example, we were invited to a birthday party. You can also hire a scooter directly from the landlord at a very reasonable price, which is in top condition. There is a laundry and a supermarket right on the doorstep. There are also numerous excellent restaurants and massage parlours as well as several supermarkets in the area surrounding the accommodation. The beach is also just a stone's throw away. If you like to party, you can easily and cheaply reach Canggu, Seminyak or Kuta by taxi. All in all, for me the accommodation is probably the best accommodation Bali has to offer, as there is something for everyone or is easy to reach in the surrounding area and you can also (if desired) have a lot of contact with locals. I can therefore highly recommend Villa Chandra in Batubelig to anyone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH: Already at the arrival we were received very friendly.

Really good
Can only agree with the previous speakers, great place. At first I only wanted to rent it for the beginning, but then I stayed for the whole semester abroad :ok_hand:
Warm atmosphere
You immediately feel at home in the residence. The welcome on arrival was warm. If I look for accommodation in Bali again, Bagus Jaya Residence will be my first choice. The surroundings offer everything you need for everyday life. That's why I give it five stars. Small, cute, not overloaded, simply great
The price-performance ratio is top

Would live there again
In the end, I can say that I would definitely live there again. For the positive and negative aspects, please see Collin's review. I agree with all the points there as I stayed with him. There are certainly better villas at a better price, but they usually sell out quickly. Nevertheless, you will have a great stay at Villa Breeze.
