It was very evident that the bathroom had not been cleaned prior to our check in, at first when I checked in fairly late at night after two days of travelling I thought maybe the limestone type material of the sink was simply worn and stained, but in the morning when I looked again in the daylight I could see that it was visibly dirty. The bath tub was disgusting with grime from previous guests and it was very obvious it had not been cleaned for some time, likely a few weeks at least. I called for one of the staff to come in to clean the bath and he came in with a broom. I pointed out the grime and dirt on the side of and inside of the tub and he went to get cleaning products, but not before telling me it was probably just stained. He brought bleach and a scrub brush and with very little effort was able to easily get rid of the grime along the side of the tub, which made it even more evident that it had simply not been cleaned at all before our checking in. This was not just a little stain or even a little bit of grime, it was deeply uncomfortable and I'm not even a clean freak. It is one thing to manage expectations when you're utilizing accommodations that are budget friendly, but for it to have not been cleaned at all since the previous guests was unacceptable. It was not an exception as one of the other people in our group who had a separate room that was also a "superior" suite, had a bathroom that was visibly gross with dirt and grime due to a lack of cleaning before check in.

Included breakfast was nice with a few options to choose from, the grounds were beautiful, and the wifi was pretty reliable as well. Room was spacious enough given the price range. Overall, not the worst experience possible but could have been significantly better.

The cleanliness of facility could be better. The tables were not clean enough, and the pool was unclean.

It provided privacy with lovely and well maintained gardens. I loved the pizza wood oven, the pizzas were delicious.

Our villa was quite dark, even during the day. Bathroom could have been cleaner.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful! My friends room was very bright and lovely.

No air con in first villa Pool dirty minimal to non-English speaking front staff difficult as booking couldn't be found on our arrival - all sorted and stayed the few nights

We requested a room change as the air conditioning was not functioning in first Villa, Second room clean inside, older style decor yet functional, safe and lock cupboard not working thus needed to use the safe key...didn't leave valuables at villa. Pool was mirky - step very slippery to get in an out. Breakfast was pleasant every morning eating near to the farm ducks in the residence next door. Villa Mandi was pleasant and quiet serene in the gardens. Close enough to the city of UBUD for a quick motorbike ride into town for diner and not far from many of the waterfalls and tourist destinations via motorbike

Bathroom and bedroom area not clean. Bath tub, sink and toilet all had mould and a smell.

Staff were great and I liked the greenery around the rooms.

Room: The bed is dirty and makes a lot of noise. Lots of flying insects and crawling animals. Swimming pool: dirty. And a lot of chlorine. The water movement is very weak and there are many insects in it. Breakfast: The quantity is very small.

The private pool is great idea. Room size is great. The green plantation is great touch.

Beautiful property but maybe a little more upkeep is needed. Slightly dusty in the room and little bits of trash in the grass around the pool area. Not a huge deterrent, just an observation. Private but also not. There was a fence behind the pool area where you get beautiful views of the rice fields and ducks but there are people living in the area behind there so they could see you getting into the pool and hanging out back. I wish there was a outdoor curtain or something for a bit more privacy. Their properties aren’t directly behind the villas but as soon as someone walks into the fields they can see you. Nobody bothers you but it’s nice to have a bit more privacy. For the kitchen area, the utensils aren’t kept there but I believe they will bring you those items on request. I was disappointed because I wanted the flowers in the tub but I believe that is something I may have had to request ahead of time. The included breakfast was not a wide selection of items, either omelette or pancakes with 1 tea and 1 drink. Nothing to really fill you up so you would have to purchase more items off of the menu. Overall still a nice stay, especially for the affordability.

Very nice, quiet area in the countryside. Quick driving distance to a few restaurants and shopping in the area. Not as much traffic and not as busy as the more touristy areas so very relaxing. The property itself is nice and quaint, the decor was pretty and very Balianese. Lots of space, could comfortably fit 3 people, ideal for a small family. The kitchen and outdoor areas were nice and comfortable. The pool was a nice size and surprisingly deep which was nice and kept very cool. Nice huge bathtub/bathroom. Everything looks just as advertised, maybe slightly worn but nice. Surprisingly, even with all the nature around(trees) there weren’t many bugs and especially no mosquitoes, only the occasional ant or two in the bathroom area because I kept the window cracked open. I wouldn’t suggest bringing too much food into the room. Very quiet property even though the villas were close I couldn’t hear my neighbor. Good food selection on the menu and it was delicious. Drinks were nice and strong, they did not water them down, you get your money’s worth. Relaxing countryside feel and beautiful views surrounding the area. Relaxing and pretty ambiance. Not a 5 star hotel feel but definitely cozy especially after a long day of touring the many sites in the area. very safe, I would stay here again.

Good Landscape

Room was basic and didn’t look ANYTHING like the photos or have the facilities that we expected. No hot water to start although this was fixed. No water pressure in the shower. Not very clean in the bathroom and very limited soap / toilet roll.

There were some pretty villa cottages but we stayed in a room in the main house which was pretty bland and basic. Reception staff where nice and helpful

Stayed in June 2023

The towels provided were really old and in bad condition, there were only two and I had to go several times to tell them that I needed more. I had to buy them at the supermarket.

I really enjoyed the place, the location and my compliments to the staff, they were very kind and attentive to all my requirements. The facilities were a bit old, the kitchen of the villa did not have any utensils, the crib for my baby was not ready and I had to pay for it, but other than that, nothing to regret.

I wanted a luxurious holiday & I got that with staying in the Luxury Villa. Big bathroom with a massive bath tub and large shower. Big secure yard with own pool was an important requirement for me travelling solo. I felt very safe staying at Villa Mandi. Very good value for money. Restaurant food was delicious with a great variety of foods & drinks on the menu. All Villa Mandi & restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly with good English. Highly recommended!

The stuff hardly speaks English. They are friendly but not very practical. The Moskito net was way too small - so I had to find a solution by myself. The AC was very unstable. Several parts in the location where broken or badly maintained. The scooter I rented from them was quite old and in a bad condition. They even couldn’t provide a proper helmet! The breakfast was more than poor.

It’s an old fashioned resort, with rice fields in the back. The prices are reasonable on the first view

Nothing

My partner Daniel and I had a wonderful stay at Samba villa. We stayed there for 4 nights and from the moment we arrived we were met with smiles and warmth from all of the staff and nothing was too much to ask for and they were happy to help with anything. The villa, food and service we received from all staff was 5stars, and the location is great because it’s close to everything and not far from the harbour. Once you get off the boat you can easily walk there.

the bed itself is hard, not convenience. they could replace the spring bed with more soft. the television they put it way to high. so aergonomic wasn't proper. need to find the place for table and television

what i link is they have spacious garden and parking lot, so the car can easily parknear the resort. also they have restaurant facilities with fair rate of food. the foor was decent and fair

The rooms weren't cleaned properly and were very dark. There was often bugs in the rooms too. The pool was not able to be swum in and was very dirty and didn't look like it was properly chlorinated. The staff were also very slow and you could tell they were speaking about you in front of you - a doctor came as my husband and I had food poisoning and the staff were laughing at us when I was bringing them to the room.

The complex is nice with lovely gardens, and the beds are comfortable. The wifi is also good.

We're really disappointing from the first we made conversation on line by email and finally by WhatsApp.. There was no replay till we have got in villa mandi finally the replayed our question... It's after two days unacceptable in this kind of business... As a costumers we felt not valuable.. But we have to pay for it any way.. In the other way we did not receive any service at all... Hope you can improve the service side especially to accommodate by email or what's app..

I love the atmosphere, it made us relax and enjoyed our stay even though only for one night.. Swimming pool area are great and it's the best spot for my kids.. Thanks for the cleanliness of the pool area
