We had the most lovely and relaxing stay here! So sad it was short, but we’re incredibly grateful to have spent our last two nights in Bali at this wonderful place. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we truly appreciated the hospitality. The house has a very comfortable and homely vibe, yet also feels extremely luxurious and hotel-like. The pool area in particular is perfect!! We recommend heading down to Jimbaran beach for sunset and a meal. Thank you so much Benny and Gusti, we already miss it!

It was all amazing, if we could score it 100 we would

Wow, what an absolute gem of a place to stay in Bali. A truly beautiful oasis within the hustle and bustle of jimbaran! Perfectly located to explore the local area and surrounding bukit. The couple who run the guest house are by far two of the nicest people we have ever met on our travels, two beautiful souls willing to help all that come to stay with them. They always had time for all of the guest and helped us out in many ways whilst staying with them. The other staff were also super nice and helpful Breakfast was delicious and varied every morning, the coffee was superb, the room so peaceful. Honestly I could go on for ever haha. Just stay here, you will not be disappointed Suksma 🙏

It's a wonderful place with peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in the middle of Bukit peninsular. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Feels like home💛. Location is very convenient, just 15 min bike drive to Melasti - one of the best beaches of Bali, close to shops and restaurants, quick shortcut to the road to Airport/Kuta. No road noise at all. Very clean and spacious rooms and the territory. Filtered drinking water is available. Motorbike for rent. Would love to come back here again 🥰

Everything was nice! Nothing was bad

If you search something not to far from the airport - but a good place to reach the beaches or the uluwatu center, it is the perfecr place! The couple where are the owner, they are so lovely and helpful and will give you such a nice staying!

This place is heaven! It is an oasis with beautiful housing and garden. Benni and Ayu are the most pleasant and accommodating hosts you could think of! We felt treated like being part of the family. Any requests or questions we had, they supported us with all their knowledge about anything. I fully recommend this place to anyone, who is looking for a quiet, peaceful get away and perfect hosts. Villa Gekyu earned a place in our heart, we will most definetely be back! With the kindest regards and best wishes from Germany, Timo and Tamara!

Villa Gekyu was simply the most magical place of our entire stay in Bali. The house was beautiful but wat sets this property appart from any other place is it’s owners. They are a retired couple that has worked in the hospitality business their whole lives and built the house to give the same feel as a resort. We have never had the joy of meeting such a warm interesting and inviting family, that opened our minds and hearts to new customs and ideas and made us feel the genuine essence of Bali. We went on our honeymoon and stayed at many places in Bali, but this place has a special place in our hearts that taught us so much this new chapter of our lives. We recommend 100% staying at this house for a week and soak in everything about this couple and their teachings about Balinese culture, cooking and stories. Thank you Benny and Sri for your warmth and teachings, we will come back soon!! Rodrigo and Maria

+Beautiful and peaceful house, perfect to get some quality rest +Owners are really friendly, willing to help, ready to share tips and tell you about Indonesian culture +Less than 30 minutes from airport o Location : not super close to the beaches and heavy traffic on access roads (as almost everywhere in the peninsula...) ; scooter needed to move around (Grab works well too).

Stayed in October 2024

As a suggestion maybe have a cut off time for the pool the couple next door decided to go swimming at 2am I had to have a word 🤷‍♀️

The couple are lovely they make you feel very welcome above and beyond expectations we were picked up from the airport and and nothing was to much fabulous home made breakfast and lots of local knowledge really lovely villa amazing value for money definitely recommend 👍

Nothing, all perfect.

Just everything! The awesome hosts, the house, the pool, the area, the distance to beaches (you'll need a bike, but then you could explore a lot).

Stayed in September 2024

I loved it! However, there are animals (geckos, chicken, other birds) in the area which would wake you up early in the morning if you have a light sleep.

Benny, his wife and June are amazing hosts who know how to make the stay at their place a special and unforgettable experience. They are always open for a chat, know the island perfectly and are real experts in giving travel advice to each and everyone based on their travel preferences. The place is beautiful and in the nature.

Stayed in September 2024

Appartments were super clean, nicely decorated and spacious. Entire Villa with pool and everything looks amazing. You can rent a scooter right at the property and location is also in the middle of everything (quick access to different beaches, a mall, ATM, etc.). Breakfast fast super tasty and local meals everyday. To top ot all off the hosts were incredible and shared lots of stories about the balinese culture. They helped us a lot in planning our entire bali trip! Thank you again and we definetely recommend this place :-)

Stayed in September 2024

Ayu and Benny were the best hosts we could have wished for. Rather than just staying somewhere, it felt like coming home. Exchanging cultural similarities was very enlightening. We always looked forward to chatting with them. We are looking forward to coming back!

Benny and his wife were amazing hosts, the highlight of our trip to Bali

Stayed in August 2024

Benny and Ayu were exceptional hosts, welcoming, informative and good company. The house and garden are beautiful. Maybe a name on the property would help out of town drivers to know when they found it!

Stayed in June 2024

The location may be a little too isolated for some people, but it wasn't an issue for us. It's about a 15min walk to Sidewalk (a shopping centre) or one can easily order a Gojek to get to places.

If you are looking for a tranquil escape from the hustle of Jimberan then look no further. Perfect for solo travelers or a couple who want to experience something different than a soulless hotel room. Benny and his wife are wonderful hosts (as this is their private residence) who have plenty of stories and are super helpful with any planning you require. This is not suitable for anyone who wants to 'party', but rather for those who want to read, swim and relax. A perfect place to end our holiday.

Beautiful villa surrounded by the nature, the only place where I was able to feel the real Bali vibes :)

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing at all.

Villa Gekyu is the perfect homestay to spend a few days or more. Owners are more than hospitable and location could not be better. From our room we could almost jump from the bed into the pool.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. Will definitely be back. View of Garuda Wishnu a lovely bonus!

Nothing to me but I guess there will be some people may not like certain things so I tried to list below. I guess if you’re light sleeper, the wild hens and roosters may be noisy to you. This is shared villas meaning you will be sharing common areas such as living room and pool with others. If you want completely isolated this may not for you.

It’s all about interactions! The place has an opened concept to interact with the nature! The owners have an opened heart to interact with their guests! 5* for their help! Unlike other villas, the owners are accommodative and informative with an act of fairness! They will help arranging itinerary that’s at the market price, no fee on top! We paid extra for floating breakfast and totally worth it! The pool is nice size and we get to enjoy the breakfast! Last but not least, Molly and Coco, the dogs, are super adorable!

Everything. It was perfect! Charming hosts, welcoming you like family, sharing recommendations where to go, what to see, where to eat etc. Could not have been more helpful. Beautiful, serene and tranquil family home.

No cons, just that the location is slightly secluded, but it's not a deal breaker.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic place in Uluwatu, and I cannot recommend it enough. The room was impeccably clean, and the entire property exuded an amazing antique charm in its decor. The attention to detail throughout the resort is truly marvellous. One delightful surprise was the presence of three adorable dogs that warmly welcomed us. The well-maintained garden and pool added to the overall beauty of the place, creating a serene atmosphere. Also, if you are too lazy to go out to eat, you can use Grab for food delivery :) Some of the attractions are pretty close to the property like GWK Park, Jimbaran Beach, Rock Bar and some cool restaurants. What truly made our stay exceptional was the warm hospitality of the hosts. Living with them felt like staying with friends. They not only cooked us the most amazing breakfasts but also played an integral role in helping us plan our daily itinerary. The shared stories, laughter, and breakfast chats made the experience memorable. In a time of need, when my husband fell ill, the hosts went above and beyond. Their kindness was evident as they brought in medicines to ensure his comfort. Their genuine care and assistance were invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend this resort to everyone. The combination of a charming environment, delicious meals, and the kindness of the hosts makes it a must-visit. You won't be disappointed!
