Old swimming pool which needs renovation, no breakfast or food option. Nothing closeby.

Really nice bungalow well equipped, nice outside bathroom, friendly staff.

The location is slightly remote, and when I first arrived my bungalow door wouldn’t lock properly, though it was fixed within a few hours, which I appreciated! There was also a dog howling and barking very loudly one night, which was a bit disruptive

Beautiful bungalow, pool, and overall amazing facilities with a lovely, relaxing atmosphere. The receptionists were outstanding - so friendly, kind, helpful and always greeting me and checking how I was getting on

Nothing. Maybe just use some mosquito repelling plugs in the room.

I loved the room, the staff, the lush gardens, the view from up the hill😍

Stayed here for three nights and had such a lovely time. The room was super clean and cozy — they cleaned it every day, which I really appreciated. My favorite part? Definitely the bathroom! It had such a calming vibe that instantly put me in a good mood. The villa’s pool was also spotless and perfect for a quick dip. Getting around was super easy with Grab, and when I needed help with short rides nearby, the staff would kindly take me on a bike — seriously, so thoughtful and helpful! Everyone at Jiwana was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always greeting me with a smile. I’m genuinely thankful for their hospitality. If I ever come back to Uluwatu, I’d stay here again for sure. 💛

The restaurant is not functioning, but I can understand that and there really are some great places nearby.

Jiwana is an oasis of peace and tranquility. This place has a very Balinese feel and, as a budget traveller, I felt it was of very good quality. There are even bathrobes and slippers to use! Everything about the villa just works to create comfort. It's spacious, the furnishings are lovely, the bed was super comfy and the indoor outdoor bathroom was functional and beautiful. The bathroom is mostly undercover, just the plants along the wall get a good soak when it rains. There was plenty of space to unpack and lots of surfaces to organise my stuff. The heavy curtains ensured a good level of darkness for sleep. The outdoor seating was another positive feature. The gardens are immaculate and the pool had steps and a ladder, and it was a good temperature. Not too warm and not too cold. There is a water dispenser set up in the lobby for refilling your bottles. Which is so handy. The location is really quiet, but if you listen really closely, you might hear some motorbikes going by, but it's really on a side road. It's a few minutes walk to a supermarket and a couple of warungs. Wooden House warung is 950m and served up a very tasty meal. I walked there, but Grab taxies are plentiful. This was a great start to my month in Bali, and has proven to be a hard act to follow.

We had an amazing stay at the Jiwana Villa. It was decorated so nicely, and the garden and pool area was incredible. Plus good AC, fast wifi and clean room. Definitely recommend for people who don't mind staying a bit out of the busy crowd

There is not really much i didnt like about the place

The rooms were pretty decent and the staff there are very friendly and the place had the views of GWK so this was a bonus point

Nothing! I was abit nervous about coming here as I'd read some bad reviews, but as usual people had 5 star expectations for paying peanuts. It is a little run down, (mainly the bathroom needs a good pressure wash) but due to the very humid environment and for the price you pay it's to be expected. I've just been working in a 4 star resort in Australia that had exactly the same issues. If it wasn't they could charge hundreds per night as it's absolutely stunning. As a solo female traveller I felt completely safe here, walked alone to restaurants in the day time with no issues, got grab bikes back from Uluwatu in early hours of the morning and security let me in OK. Not having breakfast available was fine as the vegan restaurant 5 mins walk away does incredible food and coffee. If you really didn't want to walk you could always gojek or grab some food to you easily or buy your own and store in the fridge.

This place was absolutely gorgeous!! 😍 Really big beautiful rooms with an amazing outdoor bathroom, good AC, loads of storage space, smart TV, fridge stocked with water, tea and coffee making facilities and a great pool which was nearly always empty so had it to yourself. Really calming and relaxing environment with countryside views. Walkable to a few great restaurants and grab bikes and taxis always arrived in minutes to get around anywhere else. The value for money was absolutely incredible.

Maybe it is a little far from the city, but we knew it before. No complains. We miss the kitchen open. We hope they open it soon! But the worst is that we couldn’t stay more!! ;)

The best of our experience there was Billy! Thanks to him our stay was awesome. We could say it has been one of the best hotels in where we have been. Since the first moment to entry you can feel the good vibes (we fell in love with the entrance incense). Room big, nice and cleaned every day. The toilet is awesome. This place is this kind of places that even the body soap smells nice. Our room had a lovely view, in front of the swimming pool but with a lot of privacy. We couldn’t ask for more! Also there is a supermarket in 100m and a vegetarian/vegan italian restaurant.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Billy, Meci, Fenny, Susan, and Eman — it says a lot that I still remember all their names — made our vacation truly unforgettable. The service was outstanding, among the best I’ve ever experienced. Our room was cleaned daily, the pool was fantastic, and the whole atmosphere let you fully embrace the Bali vibe. We stayed for 5 nights, and honestly, I wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended!

My home away from home. It is not the first time staying at Jivana resort. I loved it first time, I did it again when we returned and we will go once again at the end of our trip. It is just lovely, the staff is really nice, very clean, the pool is just great to relax and the location - perfect for my needs. Close to the south beaches (around 12 min by scooter) / 30 min to west uluwatu. Pepito market walkable distance and a 5 min scooter to closest place to eat. Would definitely recommend it .

We had the most amazing stay here!! Was such a gorgeous property and the staff were exceptional. They went above and beyond with everything! They were so kind and friendly. The rooms are beautiful and well kept. The pool is great and it is a peaceful retreat all in all. It’s about a 5 minute walk from a shop but you can order food online to the property. It’s about 30 mins drive to the centre of uluwatu.

the restaurant wasn't working, the bathroom roof leaks when it rains

It was quiet and peaceful, a nice pool where you can relax. Polite staff. We stayed for one night, but overall we were satisfied.

Staff were not always easy to locate. More snacks and a variety of drinks should be available. Mosquitos attack! Staff came to spray on request and provided plug in repellents.

Cute and pretty accommodation and environment. Loved the bath robes! A beautiful style bathroom incorporating a live growing garden. A short walk down the hill to the supermarket and local cafe.

I would have given a 10/10 to this place if food was available. Few drinks are offered to buy, but more variety can be an asset

Everything in the villa is very lovely, cozy and well arranged. Best part is that you can relax and it is not crowded, good for a self-retreat. It is not close to bars or restaurants and it requieres transportation to go to eating places, as breakfast is not served as they are changing their kitchen. It would be even more amazing when they re-open the kitchen.

It was exceptional service and the place was so cozy. I want to thank all the staff for making my stay there comfortable and safe, but specially the receptionist Billy, which took care for everything that I needed. Thank you Billy for all your amazing hospitality! Highly recommended and for sure I will visit it again.
