Everything ok in the Shari Apartments
The flats are just as shown in the pictures. Rather a quiet place. The location is great for exchange students, not too touristy but close to everything you need. The staff are very friendly. One negative point, however: problems with the pool. The pool is dirty from time to time. Efforts are made to keep this within limits, but it's annoying when you're looking forward to going there and then it's dirty... And something else that might be important to mention is the WIFI, which really isn't all that good there. Nevertheless, I would give 3.5 out of 5 stars for the flats.
Would be fine for a different price
Shari Apartment would be fine for a different price. The rooms are quite dark and the air conditioning is unfortunately suboptimal. The outdoor area is basically quite nice, but the pool didn't work for us for almost 10 days and there was no price reduction despite repeated reminders. The staff are otherwise nice. However, not recommended for the price.
Not really comfortable
The pool didn't work for about 10 days, the air conditioning needs a lot of electricity because the bathroom keeps heating up due to the construction. You hardly get any light in the bunker, which is really unfavourable if you are ill (which happens more often at the beginning). The staff were friendly, which wasn't a bad thing. But I just didn't feel really comfortable.
Nice but a bit expensive
The Shari Apartments are below average for accommodation in Bali that I have seen and heard about. It has a nice chill out area and helpful staff. It seems like they are still building it into a bigger complex. If you're looking for something in between a villa and an apartment, this is the place to stay.
Great for long-term stays
The accommodation is new and well built. It's great for socialising as there is a communal pool where you can spend time together. The flats are well cleaned and have a kitchen, which is great if you don't want to eat out all the time. During my stay the water and electricity didn't work during building work. Overall it's not for holidays if you're expecting a resort but it's great for students and young people.
nice place to live
Nice and clean place. The staff are very friendly, but they don't always speak good English. But that's not a problem for me. The air conditioning works, which is important. The cleaning service is okay. It's definitely good that you have your own fridge. Sometimes it is too hot in the bathroom as it is like outside (only a plastic roof in the shower area, no air conditioning)

sometimes there are spiders, bugs, cockroaches in the flat The drains sometimes smell when it rains

Everything okay, except: the door to the room didn't work properly
Cosy place
I had a nice stay in the accommodation. The staff are nice and the cleaning service is good. The bad thing is that I had rats in my room...I don't blame the staff for that, but it was annoying. I also had to pay for small things like a broken plate.
Would live here again
Very nice place, cosy beds and it is cleaned every day. There is the possibility to cook your own food and a nice pool area. Friendly staff and also laundry service, so actually everything you need.
Fitting and a good location
It's a nice place to live and I liked the atmosphere there as there were a lot of students. The location is also pretty good (close to everything). The flat was clean and has everything you need, but the rent is too expensive as the accommodation is neither special nor unique and the rent is very high.
