    The warm greeting on arrival and explanation of all the facilities. Umah Watu has the charm of the Bali of old. The villa was full of local craftsmanship that reminds you that you are in Bali. The villa was so private but also close to an abundance of restaurants. The cleanliness of the villa and the great aircon in the bedroom was very welcome. Being able to have the use of a kitchen for drinks and nibbles before dinner was an added bonus. This is not a new and modern villa with little soul this is a little haven of the old Bali and is truly charming. We will be returning.

    There was very little to fault, honestly. Perhaps if travelling with really young kids, as we did, just be mindful of how slippery all the tiles can get in the living/dining area when you’re spending a lot of time around the pool.

    Great location with excellent cafe called ‘Local’ nearby to start the day with. Very conveniently located close to shopping strip, restaurants and bars, markets and a delicious warung, though the villa itself is on such a quiet street. The pool was sensational; we loved that the villa became our little sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak when we needed some down time! Peter and the team looked after us so well. Communication was great and everyone was so willing to help whenever we needed anything at all. Nothing was too much trouble, including the option to provide a pool fence if we felt we needed it for our very young kids.

    Authentic Balinese style villa in a good location. Peter was a very welcoming and informative host and his service team couldn’t have been more helpful. I highly recommend the airport pickup service, and the driver, Putu, also took us on a fantastic day trip to the Tanah Lot temple and the Jatiluwih rice terraces … highly recommend.

    Just have to be careful walking the dark street which the Villa is on as there are several open/uncovered holes in the middle. Use you cell flashlight walking at night.

    Friendly and helpful host/staff! You are treated like family! Set up good communication with Whatsapp before arrival.They arranged airport meet/greet/pickup. Gave good advice in preparation of arrival in avoiding long lines at customs. Good location, close to the beach, places for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Some people had said the villa is a little out of the way. We liked that the villa was at the end of a gang and only 15 minutes walk to the beach.

    We stayed at Umah Watu villa for 4 nights and had a fantastic time. The villa is large with a lovely pool and lush garden. It's a quiet sanctuary from the crazy traffic and noisy bikes. Anna and Made looked after us well and kept the villa spotless. Local Coffee, a cafe around the corner, has fab coffee, delicious juices and really good food. We'd happily stay at Umah Watu again!

    Loved everything

    On arrival at the villa we were welcomed by the lovely owner, Peter, and really felt like we were being welcomed home. For the last 4 nights of our Bali stay we had a fabulous stay in the 3 bedroom villa. We have had quite a busy few weeks touring around Bali, Lombok and the Gilis and we were ready for a change of pace. The Umah Watu Villas are located on a quiet street and are a surprising oasis of calm so close to Seminyak. There was plenty of space for us all to chill out around the lovely pool area, downstairs was well equipped with a kitchen, dining area and plenty of seating. The fridge was kept well stocked for drinks. All of our bedrooms were spacious and decorated in a beautiful Balinese style. We loved the outdoor bathrooms which were very private. The AC was effective and kept us cool in the very hot weather. A highlight of this stay though are the amazing staff. Peter is a genuine and very caring man who was always there if we needed him. Anna and Tono were very friendly and whenever we saw them would stop for a chat and were keen to make sure that everything was ok. Putu the driver was also great and ensured safe and efficient transfers We would have no hesitation in booking Umah Watu again if we return to Seminyak and will have very happy memories of our short stay here

    It is probably a Seminyak thing, but there was noise all around. What was once a villa surrounded by paddy fields is now instead facing a massive construction site. We could hear loud hammering from 8am to 6pm, everyday, including weekends. Tourists (generally drunk on motorbikes) are constantly riding around late into the night. There is nothing the property can do about the surroundings, but something for noise sensitive guests to be mindful of

    Warm staff, always with a smile..it was lovely chatting to Peter, Anna and Tonno. The guesthouse is beautifully decorated, with a smart TV to boot. The villa is 8mins walk to the beach, with beautiful sunsets.

    A perfectly comfortable villa with so much space for relaxing and socialising. The pool and garden are such a relief after exploring the sweaty Seminyak streets. The bedrooms are huge and cool, the bed and pillows are very comfortable. What makes this villa a 10/10 are the staff who quietly and respectfully go about keeping the home and property beautifully kept for our comfort. Friendly, helpful, responsive and efficient, everything they do is with a smile. Thank you to Peter, Tonno, Putu, Anna, Made and the rest of the team!

    There were a couple of little mishaps, like the power going off, but these were sorted out quickly and efficiently and we were kept well informed. Looking at the general infrastructure of Bali it seems this is a regular thing and couldn't be helped.

    We had a great stay at the 3 bedroom villa. We enjoyed the huge space, comfy beds and lovely pool and outdoor area. Peter and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we were ok, we arrived very, very late at night but Tono was there to welcome us, Peter organised medications when our son was unwell, Anna bought fruit for us from local markets which were cheaper than those close by and Putu the driver was a laugh and happily accommodated our v large family of 6 (plus luggage) in his car via a complicated live-action tetris game - honestly, a lovely bunch of people.

    To be completely honest the bathroom / shower a great experience, buuuut it was like an outdoor situation. No one can see you and you do have a roof but since its design as an outdoor area, in times of hot weather it can get pretty warm especially if you like showering with warmer water. The location was good the only thing is that to get there you need to walk in some narrow roads and at night its very dark so its not ideal.

    We loved our stay. The villa we had was amazing, super comfortable. Kins size bed with good mattress. The room was very spacious. The staff was super kind and offered some restaurant recomendations. They helped us with our laundry for an additional charge and also helped us with a driver from our other hotel and to the airport. We had an amazing time and would definetly stay there again.

    The villa is a bit out of the way, because of the way the streets are laid out you have to do a bit of walking even when places look very close on the map. I didn't mind this too much though because it's fairly quiet nearby and it's easy to get places if you're happy to take motorbikes.

    Gorgeous little villa tucked away in a quieter part of Seminyak. All the staff were so friendly and we felt well taken care of the whole time. I loved having the garden and pool area to hang out in during our downtime. We loved the open air bathroom and the convenience of the small changing area meaning plenty of room for both of us (two sisters) to get ready for the day's travels. The villa's driver Putu was lovely, and took us on a day tour around Uluwatu, as well as picking us up from the airport and dropping us at our accomodation in Ubud.

    A little gem in busy Seminyak! We have stayed in some of the major hotels and boutique hotels in Seminyak, but Uma Watu Villas is a real gem. It is in quiet location, but really close to all the restaurants, bars and shops. We stayed in the guest room which was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The garden, pool and common area are a lovely Balinese style place to relax. The personal touches from the owner makes it really homely and unique. Breakfast is not included, but is available for a really reasonable price and is very good. Everyone was really friendly and helpful. I think we found our new favourite place for future trips to Seminyak.

    Nothing here to point out. The taxis can get a little confused on which road to enter from, so just check your map while they drive you there :)

    We had an amazing stay at Umah Watu Villas. It was in a really great location, that was easy to access by scooter, or even walk to nearby restaurants. We didn't meet any other guests during our stay, so we really felt we had a whole private villa and pool for ourselves. The host was very welcoming, and the staff was very friendly and helpful as well. We would definitely stay here another time.

    A lovely Balinese Villa in the hub of Seminyak close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Once inside this very private and secure courtyard you can enjoy a quiet time beside the pool. The gardens and surrounds are beautiful as is the main house where breakfast is served by the delightful Anna and her husband. I particularly enjoyed the sculptures and paintings which give Umah Watu it's home away from home feel!

    There was an electricity cut-off. It was written that this is due to general issues in Bali, but all neighbouring houses seemed to have their lights on. However, it was resolved super fast, so didn't really bother us!! The place is at the end of a very small street so taxi drivers struggle a bit, and in dark it's not a very comfy walk, but it's close to everything, so it doesn't last long.

    The place was great, we really enjoyed everything - the room was very spacious and well equipped, as well as perfectly clean. It was cleaned daily. I particularly liked the shower being in a more open area - seen this in a few places in Bali and I really really enjoy it ! The manager of the property was very kind and helpful. Although it doesn't offer breakfast (just facilities to make it by yourself), there are different places available in a walking distance.
