Real testimonials from our accommodation.
Nice teachers, few lessons
If you're used to have strict and regular lesson in your country you'll probably be surprised by this programme. I only had lessons on Monday and Tuesday and teacher are here to talk "with" you and not "to" you. The level isn't that high, you can easily graduate if you work a little, but the real thing you learn there is about Balinese culture and open-minded exchanges with the teachers.
Nice and quiet: What you need in Bali.
I lived here for 2 months while studying at Udayana. The place was made for me. The caretaker Putu was always there for us, smiling and friendly, he really helps you with everything. The rooms are big and comfortable, the living room is a bit small but pleasant and there is a pool: all in all a nice place to stay
Super landlord! Great view!
What I liked best was the landlady, she really helped me with everything, even learning to ride a scooter... And the view is great too!
Great in itself, except for the dog problem
I really liked the Jimbaran Homestay. In principle, I would give it 4 stars because everything was good and clean. However, the landlady's dog really bothered me. The problem here is that the dog is sick and therefore smells very unpleasant and that it often did its business next to the pool. So unfortunately I can only give 3 stars. Unfortunately that ruined everything.
Also happy ;)
Close to Udayana Uni in Jimbaran, great pool, bedrooms in good condition! Unfortunately no seating outside...
happy
All in all, it was great. Clean, close to the beach and not far from the university...
For everyone except Netflix and Instagram addicts!
Really beautiful villa, the flooding is not a problem as we initially thought and the housekeeper is the friendliest lady! Everything is taken care of here, the only problem is the wifi, very slow and very often fails, you can forget Netflix and co! If high quality wifi is not important to you highly recommended!
We liked it
We liked it a lot. The rooms are a bit worn, especially the bathroom. But the bed is great, the rooms aren't damp, you always get fresh towels and there are even towels for the pool, which is really great! There's a really good laundry right next door and the whole area is really nice. For a medical student the location is perfect, close to the sea, but also the sanglah hospital is easy to reach (15-20min by scooter, about 35k by grab-taxi). If something was broken (or clogged) it was repaired immediately and the family is very nice and helpful! The price-performance ratio is right :)
Gladly again
The pool was small but nice, the walls are a bit noisy, unfortunately during my stay there were many guests who were still watching videos outside their rooms at night. The owner is very helpful and friendly, when there was a problem with the shower he had it fixed the same day and otherwise would have moved me to an alternative room.
Great place for a semester abroad in Bali
To summarise, Jimbaran Luxury Residence is a great place to stay during a semester abroad in Bali. The rooms are in good condition and the staff is very friendly. However, there are some downsides, such as the slow internet and the fact that you can't use the kitchen. But to be honest you don't need a kitchen in Bali as it is extremely cheap to order food or go to a restaurant. The location is good as it is close to Udayana University. However, if you are looking for clubs and bars, you should consider a flat further north.
Above average!
It was a great time. Honestly probably the best 4 months of my life. This villa was part of that great experience. I would especially like to thank the host Manfred for his support. I would definitely recommend this villa to others, thank you very much!
Too expensive
Price-performance not justified, standard never equals 300€. For less money everything would be perfect, except for the water pump. Nice housekeeper!
OK
Air conditioning often broken, no water every few days/weeks.
Great, but in need of renovation
Please renovate bathrooms, doors, water tank, air conditioning. Location, layout, facilities are great!
Came down
Only 2 out of 4 toilets work. Often no water, generally a bit run down. Mice in the kitchen. Super villa in itself, once repaired.
New home in Bali
I have found a new family here. Helen and Adel are charming hosts with whom you can spend wonderful weekends. At first I was a bit shocked by the bullterrier Choppy, but in reality he's like Hello Kitty - a totally lovely dog. I will definitely be back!
Could have been better
Paying so much money for a good house in poor condition. Cockroaches and ants everywhere in the walls. Wifi/ water/ electricity sometimes not available for hours. House needs to be renovated.
Bukit Apartment
The best guesthouse in the Bukit area. Nice staff, clean, big pool, very quiet neighbourhood. Close to the side walk Jimbaran Mall and the beach. Highly recommended!
Enjoyed the stay
I really liked the Jimbaran Luxury Residence. The rooms are comfortable and the staff are nice and friendly. Due to its location in Jimbaran, it is the perfect accommodation for studying at Udayana University in Bukit.
Would live here again, but...
The wifi could be better, especially the coverage in the rooms. The speed itself is very good. Please buy a repeater to improve the coverage.
Good, but cleanliness and value for money could be better
It is a nice accommodation, but the cleaning service was not as agreed in the contract. Furthermore, the electricity was not charged as previously discussed.
Fortune Apartment
To summarise, I really liked it here. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only complaint is the building site next to our apartment/pool. Furthermore, I don't think it's a good idea to put students and families in the same flat.
Satisfied except for a few points
- Large room and large bathroom, which is well equipped - Praise to manager Made, was always available and dealt with any complaints quickly. - The team on site was always easy to talk to - The rooms on the ground floor cannot be well ventilated and smell musty. There are mould deposits behind the beds - Very disappointed with the semester abroad team. Even if you consider that the staff were absent, they still argued against complaints with the argument "it's worse somewhere else", which is an impossible attitude, but happened again and again. - Manage contract conclusion better
