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.
Unforgettable time
I only rented a room in Bagus for two months at the beginning. In the end, however, I liked it so much that I lived there for my entire semester abroad. The reason for my decision was probably the great community life there. You get to know a lot of people and always find someone to do something with. The staff are also super nice and Osiana even organised a scooter for me after I came back from my round trip after my studies and was no longer living in Bagus. The location is also very good if you are studying at the university in Denpasar. The rooms themselves are large, but also have shortcomings. The cupboards smell strange and if you're unlucky a cockroach might appear. The outdoor area with pool and a really great gazebo makes up for it though. All in all, I had a great time at the Bagus and can only recommend it!
Splendid stay
The stay in this villa was definitely worth it. Here is a short list of the positive and negative aspects of the villa: Positive: - Extremely friendly house staff (some very poor English skills) - Not unnecessarily large rooms, they are all the perfect size - Beautiful garden - Good location (right next to a supermarket) - Many surrounding villas (no long walking/driving distances to other students from the semester) - Cleaning six times a week and a pool boy - Garden with sunbathing areas and gazebo Negatives: - Sun only until 2/15 pm in the garden, the rest of the time everything is unfortunately shady - English skills of the house staff - Very slow internet connection (often not even usable) - Relatively high price compared to the neighbouring villas - Many of the equaducts were broken All in all, we had a really great time in this villa! We never received any complaints from neighbours if we were too noisy and were very happy with the housekeeping staff. In addition, there was always plenty to do with various student colleagues, as the villas themselves were within walking distance. A really pleasant and satisfying stay.
Big great villa
Super spacious room layout. Sanitary facilities were not so nice. There were small defects here and there. But all in all a super nice villa where you have a lot of space for socialising. I would book again
The best decision
Living at Bagus was the best decision! The price-performance ratio is unrivalled. You quickly make new contacts with other students who also live there and have a really great time together. If you want to be on your own, you can retreat to your room, which is not very luxurious but perfectly fine. If you want to be in company, all you have to do is go outside your room door and you can join any group in planning your day/evening. Whether exploring a beach in the south, going out to eat or partying, there's never a dull moment at the Bagus. The staff there are very friendly, helpful and there for you immediately if you have a problem. The important spots, such as Double Six Beach, Legian Street for partying//shopping etc. are 15-20 minutes away. A supermarket, warungs, a laundry, mobile phone shops are also in the immediate vicinity (1-5min) I got to know many other students who lived in a 4- or 6-bed villa. These were of course much more luxurious than the Bagus, but they also had to pay at least twice as much. I can only recommend living in the Bagus to everyone, because the money you save can then be spent on travelling :)
