Reviews from our students
Real testimonials from our accommodation.
Great in itself, but not for student life
- nice staff, very high security, absolutely brilliant pool, room furnishings ok, strange odour in the wardrobe, toilet drain stinks, kitchen not suitable for cooking! - Nothing to criticise as accommodation per se, but for students there is better accommodation with more communal space etc. (everyone lives in their own flat)
Extremely satisfied

Despite location, best decision
We were immediately confronted with the fact that the villa is far away from the university in Jimbaran, but I would still choose it again and again!!! Because you live amongst the locals and therefore pay significantly less for food and other things. In addition, Seminyak and Canggu are just round the corner. The landlady and her family are like a second family, so you learn more about the culture and language. It is super clean and cosy in the small villa and if there are any problems, they are solved very quickly by the landlady. The wifi could be better, but this is a common problem in Bali.
I would definitely stay here again
What I liked most about the villa was the location, especially that it was on the same street as three other student villas. I also like the pool and the interior of the villa. To mention a negative aspect, I have to say that we had a rat problem. In addition, there is some old and used furniture, for example the bathroom doors on the ground floor were hard to close, almost breaking off the hinges. The cupboards in the kitchen were also broken and difficult to close. To summarise, we had a great time here and it is still a great villa.
Very nice accommodation
Spacious accommodation in a quiet location. Very nice pool and cosy rooms. I felt very comfortable here. The staff in particular were always helpful and courteous. I can only recommend the accommodation!
All in all very satisfied
Beautiful house with large pool! Cons: Doors don't close properly. We had rats in the house and all the kitchen cupboards were already eaten away. Otherwise we liked it very much. Street was great with some student villas next door in a good location.
All in all satisfied
+ Good contact with the landlord + Good facilities, adequate pool, comfortable beds - Cleaning lady did not take problems that were raised seriously - Partly dilapidated (roof collapsed) All in all you can feel comfortable in this villa! For the price, the villa can be recommended!
Three super months
- Good layout of the bedrooms - Nice, large living room - Great location, lots of shops, warungs and restaurants nearby - Kitchen unfortunately a bit run down, needs to be renovated - Overall, you can tell that the villa is already a few years old Villa Tog Gun absolutely deserves its name! Great neighbourhood!
All in all very satisfied (Villa Santi & Villa Alla)
We had a very nice time at Santi and Villa Alla. The rooms were very spacious and kept very clean all the time. We can thoroughly recommend a stay in one of the two accommodations.

Very pleasant & nice stay (Villa Santi & Villa Alla)
Both villas provided us with a wonderful home for our time in Bali. The rooms were cosy, very spacious and beautiful. The villas appeared well maintained and were always kept very clean by the staff. In general, the staff at both villas were very attentive, friendly and helpful! We always felt welcome and comfortable. Only the very frequent additional electricity payments every 2-3 days were unpredictable and therefore unpleasant. All in all, both villas can definitely be recommended!

Best accommodation in Bali
I can't begin to express how great these people are. You won't find a better place to live. It's like home
Just like home :)
Everyone treats each other like family, a great place for super experiences, there are even community activities, like pool volleyball or discovering hidden beaches of Bali... Super hospitality and unforgettable experiences, we really are like a little family here :)
The best decision you can make!
These people really have become a second family away from home. We have enjoyed every second here and will definitely be back! We love our H2O family via alles❤️ Hendra Helen and Halim are wonderful people and we hope the next residents will appreciate that too. If you are looking for more than just student parties then come here and experience Bali with them. They will always help you and give you the best insider tips. You will feel at home from the very first second, I promise! The location is also incredible. Especially for students from abroad, it's a stone's throw to the university. Just walk across the street. Every student will envy you if you can walk straight home in the cancelled lessons (happens all the time) and drive off to the beach. Others from Kerobokan drive 40 minutes and waste their time. The most famous beaches are all in the immediate vicinity and Kuta is also easy to reach. McDonalds, Pizzahut and all the Italian restaurants can be reached in 5 minutes. There is a warung and a juice bar on the doorstep, and you can also eat in the university canteen on the other side of the street. For beer, there is a minimart along the street (within walking distance). Otherwise, I would advise you to bear in mind that there are often arguments in large villas because people don't get on with each other. Then again, there are problems because one person has to take on all the responsibility regarding payment etc. In addition, there have often been cases of fraud where European landlords have suddenly charged additional costs (this also happened to me in my first villa) or you can't understand the electricity bill and lose your money quite quickly. Do yourself a favour and avoid these problems! At H2O Homestay, everyone is responsible for their own room and paying their rent. In addition, each room has its own electricity meter right outside the door and can keep track of everything (hardly any other villa does this). For me it was the best decision to move here, in fact I regret not getting to know them sooner! They are the most honest and lovely people and you will feel very safe here because they know how to help you in every situation (accidents, homework etc.) and above all they take you in from the heart. Believe me, everyone who came to visit us liked them straight away and you will too, just give them a chance! PS: Three incredibly great dogs are waiting to live and cuddle with you! :) I hope I was able to take away some of your fears and help you - come here to the H2O Homestay and have the time of your life you darlings!
fantastic flatmates with many unforgettable moments
Choosing this homestay to live in is an excellent decision. Not only are you renting a room with a pool view, but you are collecting moments that will make you love H2O Jimbaran. The flatmates always have a lot to do together. We often went out together, discovered beaches or fantastic places and discovered local delicacies for ourselves ;)
Hammer 1 (formerly Capricorn 1) WS 14
The villa is huge and the garden with pool is also large. It would be perfect for throwing parties, but loud music is only allowed until 12am because of the neighbours. The location is great: not too far from the university. Shops, restaurants and the night market are close by. Kuta is only about 10 minutes away by scooter or taxi. All in all, a good place to stay during the semester.
Hammer 1 (formerly Capricorn 1) WS 14
The villa is located in Seminyak on the border to Legian. The location is very good as you are not in the centre of the nightlife, but still everything is close to the villa. Supermarkets, the night market, Double-Six 66 Beach (3 minutes by scooter), the entertainment centre in Seminyak and it's not far to Kuta either. The university is 20 minutes away by scooter. The villa has a spacious garden with a large pool. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends, but it's only allowed to party until 11am or 12pm because there are other flats and villas around it. Electricity is included up to a limit of IDR 1 million (65 euros), but that should normally be enough. The only thing missing was a barbecue. All in all a great place to stay due to the great location and garden. I will miss my time there!
Great accommodation - but not a "students resort"
A good and central accommodation in Bali. The rooms are nice and more importantly - clean... there was daily cleaning service. The pool is great and quite big. It is also very nice to get breakfast every morning. The only thing to complain about is the bar, sometimes the loud music is annoying. Everyone who books this accommodation should know that it is not - as described - a student resort. It is more of a hotel that rents out rooms permanently to students. We are currently only 8 students.
