Reviews from our students
Real testimonials from our accommodation.
No
The rooms and the villa itself look good. But on second and closer inspection there are many problems. There was mould and cockroaches in every room. + Bondang is the best + Good cleanliness - too bad there is nowhere for everyone to sit together
I can highly recommend it!
The villa is very conveniently located. It's a 5 minute walk to the beach and it's between the university in Jimbaran and Canggu where there are so many fantastic restaurants. The pool is large and cleaned regularly. The staff and manager are also very friendly. There is a big kitchen which is not the best but you won't need it as it is much more worthwhile to go out to eat in the great and delicious restaurants around Seminyah and the area around. The elderly lady in the pool house is also very friendly and you don't even notice her after a while. For people who want to stay in a quiet area close to the centre of Seminyah, this place is just perfect.
We were very happy with our accommodation
The staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation is located between Seminyak and Kerobokan. Restaurants and supermarkets are within walking distance. We would definitely recommend this accommodation!

Dream villa - for me!
I have stayed in many villas in Bali and I am totally happy to have stayed at Villa Rajawali this time. There are a few things that could and should be updated, but the villa is very conveniently located, the atmosphere is great and you save a lot of money (because a scooter is included!) and the Balinese style of the villa makes you feel very connected to the country. The owner and his family really go out of their way for you and they are one of the kindest people I have ever met! I would definitely come back here as the villa has become my home for the last four months.
Best neighbourhood/best value for money
I really enjoyed my stay at Villa Kajawali. I would definitely stay here again! For a small price you really get a lot here: a scooter, a great pool, a super backyard with a garden and the very best location. The villa is close to Canggu (the town par excellence) and Belawa beach. You need a little more time to get to the university. Each room has its own Balinese style. Yes, the rooms are not too modern but you can feel the real Balinese style. On top of that, you have the coolest landlord who lives right outside the villa, keeps an eye on everything, is really nice and helps with everything! The only thing that could be improved is the water pressure in the shower, but that's really all. That's why it's worth staying here! You stay in a beautiful villa where everyone has their own privacy, but you can also sit together in the beautiful backyard garden.
I really enjoyed my stay at Villa Oasis
A printer that could be used by everyone would be good and proper duvets. More bowls at breakfast wouldn't be bad and proper sunbeds by the pool too. Until then I will keep Villa Oasis and the staff in my heart.
Would stay here again
Great place. Ayu and Manfred are always there to help you. The villa is very well located.
AsiaExchange relaxed and smooth
Acceptance came within 24 hours. Documents arrived on time and everything was well organised on site, from the welcome evening and various events to the graduation ceremony, and if there were any problems you could always contact them super quickly via WhatsApp.
Home away from Home!
I can only recommend staying at Villa Oasis because you feel at home there from the moment you walk in. I chose the villa because it was possible to book only one room instead of the whole villa and I am so so happy I did! I have to say that the villa is way more beautiful than it looks like on the pictures. It is super charming with it's Balinese style and beautiful doors and bathrooms. The rooms are very big and the bathrooms are one of the nicest I have seen so far. All the 3 parts (the 2 villas and the studios behind) have their own fully fitted kitchen with a big table to sit on and a toilet for guests what is pretty nice when you're having a party at the villa and you don't want to let all the guests using your private toilet. Another thing I want to emphasise is the washing machine. I'm sure guys won't care about giving their stuff to the laundry but us girls always used the washing machine because things got smaller than smaller after every washing at a laundry ;). The location is super super nice, quiet but close to everything that's important. The neighbourhood is green, quiet and safe and the only thing you can hear in the smaller of the two villas are the dogs at night. I was also very happy about the two safes as many villas don't have that. The nearest beaches are berawa beach or batu belig beach - round about 10 minutes by scooter using the shortcut. Doing so you also only neee 10-15 minutes to canggu and it's awesome cafes. Our campus was in Jimbaran, so depending to the traffic and your way of driving you need 30-40 minutes to university. Manni and Ayu live right next to the villa (with a connecting door) and are helpful and kind in every single way. I really loved living here and can only recommend it!
Bagus!
In a nutshell! You won't get better value for money during your time abroad.
Nice villa
+ Really nice villa perfect environment close to all important places + nice rooms + good bakery as a neighbour + villa is always clean + cleaning staff is doing a good job really good communication with stuff from study-in-bali.com - sometimes problem with electricity - communication with the owner must be improved - electricity charging is not transparent enough
Nice place, close to campus
I really like the accommodation due to its location. It is close to the campus in case classes are canceled. There are 4 residence of whom only 1 speaks English but that works fine. The room standards are higher than other accommodations I have seen. The kitchen can be used but due to cheap prices at restaurants there is no need to cook. All in all a good place to stay.
I would stay here again!
Villa Moonah was perfect for our study abroad and I would definitely come back. Nice owner, sweet cleaning lady, awesome pool and really big & bright rooms. The only thing is the bad wifi. Most of the time I couldn't even get connected to the wifi. But all in all I really fell in love with Villa Moonah!
Perfect villa for semester abroad
Villa Moonah is located near the university and in the south of Bali, where you also have a lot of beautiful beaches. The party spots are a little bit more far. The view is amazing (in the evening you can see beautiful sunsets and in the morning you can see the mountains and volcano). We didn't know that the cleaning woman also lives in the villa, which would be good to know in advance. She cleans your rooms every day and is very nice. The pool was also amazing and most of the time very clear, otherwise it was no problem to tell them to clean it. Unfortunately you have to pay per night if a friend is staying over night. The WIFI was working good in the beginning but in the end it was useless because we did not have access anymore in our rooms (at least in the 1st level). In the time I stayed there I felt like home and the villa was very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again!
Great villa in Uluwatu
Perfect villa in a really great location Close from uni Good place if you like to surf The cleaning service is amazing I would recommend to anyone Maybe a little bit expensive
Really liked to stay in DC Villa
It is very nice to have your own bathroom. The rooms are big and beautiful. Cleaning lady daily and she does everything for you (cleaning shoes etc.) also the swimming pool is nice to take a jump after uni. There is a very good bakery and restaurant next to the villa. Unfortunately the owner is not so nice. Study-in-Bali.com also tries to fix all the problems but a lot of unfair things happened.
The cocktail between pros and cons
First of all, Study-in-Bali.com always helped whenever there has been a requests, via email or WhatsApp. secondly, the accommodationist nice the mix between having its own room and bathroom but the shared living room and kitchen is very cool.also nice and big pool. Thirdly, we had some discussions with the owner, where he had the feeling we got stuck somewhere. Especially when problems occur the spoken and written language plays an important role. Unfortunately, the owner was not able to communicate fluently and misunderstood or didn't even understand. So many students come here, a proper English level should be expected and required.
I would stay here again!
I really liked to stay at DC Villa because everything was okay. We all had our own room and bathroom and that was very relaxing because you can go to your room whenever you wanted to. Also liked it that there was a cleaning lady every day. Overall I really love staying at DC Villa.

Pros and Cons of Nakula Villas
The pool is amazing and clean. The Wifi should be better. It is slow and doesn't work all the time. Also there is no private network in the villa so the security of the internet is really poor. There is mould inside the rooms so there is no clean air. People may breathe worse because of that so it is a big issue because it is related to people's health. Staff is very lovely and the location is great. The outside area is really nice and comfortable. There is lots of space!
Would stay here again
Our villa was very nice and lovely place to stay during our exchange semester. Rooms are very spacy and the place is beautiful. Excellent location. The staff is very friendly and kind. The cleaning days varied little bit every week. Great pool!
Great space, service and pool
Big rooms and great pool. Staff was very nice and smily. Wifi was fast but didn't work well all times. Some weird smell in big bathroom (mould?). All in all I had a great time in Nakula Villas.
