I booked this place thinking it was a nice modern place with a reasonable price, but found a minuscole bathroom, an open living space (hello mosquitoes!) and just average everything else. I would not spend a third of the price for this.

Because of a small renovation at my own house nearby I booked this place.

Within an hour of checking in, i was moved from my room as the AC didn't work well and the shower dribbled out at all angles like it had a gonorrhea infection and no hot water (I needed a luke warm shower).. the hot water just needed turning on but after a couple of small electric shocks (I may have gone back for the second shock) from the leaking inlet pipe on the hot water system, I decided to shower anyway as I was beginning to smell like a jungle beast.

There is no central water filteration so everything is choked up with mineral solids from the hard Bali water hence the shower head that mostly washes the walls of the shower.
I did however really appreciate the customer service moving me to another room and notifying me of the move via WhatsApp after I had gone out.

After a long hot day I get back to my new room at 21:30 and shower (no electric shocks) which although very low pressure was ok (looked like a new shower head)
It was mega hot so I turned on the AC.

Imagine you were on a cruise ship but your bedroom was in the engine room stuck on maximum acceleration with a thousand lose rattling bolts .. now combine that with Grand Central station and that's what the AC was like. It's 2am and I'm awake as it's mind numbingly noisy (the fan speed won't adjust on the ac.. It's stuck on wind tunnel mode) and just impossible to sleep. I guess nobody checks anything here and uses a "Band-Aid over bullet holes" approach to fixing anything... Random guessing of course ????????u200d♂️

Turning the AC off heats the place up reasonably quickly as the bedroom is located in the mezzanine floor and the neighbors aircon unit sound like the drone of an old propellor plane flying in circles above my room.

Opened the ac cover and checked out years of dust.. Photo posted.. Dust mite breading ground.. That explains the Itching
I really want to check out right now but I have a 6:30am wake so going to turn off the engine bolts and hopefully not wake up in a stewed greasy lethargic state...

Conclusion: for a similar price be like Forest and run!
Next time I will read the reviews.

UPDATE:
Impossible to sleep so editing this novel and ordering Gofood, posted dust filled ac unit photo and downgraded my 2 stars to 1.
Turned the AC back on after 1 min as it's just to hot but the minute of silence was heavenly.

Do not stay here if you rely on internet!!!

The room is cool, but the fact that the wifi NEVER works ruins my whole experience. I wasn't expecting a hotel with top-notch wifi, but no internet is just a No-Go in Bali for the price you pay for this room. Also, it's not ideal for long-term stays how they advertise. They don't offer laundry service, the kitchen is empty (you have to request the utensils), they only have like 3 hangers in the smelly wardrobe, house keeping often forgets the water or small towels...

If they could just fix these small things then this could be a great place!

Everything is great in this place. The best thing is the staff. They are so so lovely, very friendly u0026 genuine. If they could only fix their WiFi that would be amazing. I work from a computer and I have to go to Starbucks every day. Which is not a problem at all but sometimes I like to work indoors. Apart from that, I open my doors first thing in the morning, have my coffee u0026 listen to nature. Bliss

Apartment: a comfortable stay for a week. Spacious enough, although bathroom is on the small side. Furniture in the living room area is outdoor furniture and not very comfortable, but hey, you're in Bali so how much time will you be spending on the couch anyways? Wifi worked great (although, a tree had fallen on the wires and rendered the wifi useless for 2 days during our stay. However, the staff were very helpful in ensuring that it got back up and running ASAP!)
Grounds overall: LOVELY! beautiful views of the rice fields (if you're staying on the right side of the building - picture below), colourful plants all over the place, beautiful no matter rain or shine. Pool area and chairs could definitely be cleaner.
Staff: very helpful and did their best to communicate in english which was very much appreciated. the supervisor was quite fluent in english and was always willing and able to help or answer questions!
On site scooter rental: a brilliant and cost effective way of getting around - highly recommended.
* if you're planning on including breakfast as part of your stay: it's only eggs and toast, so it gets a bit dull after a few days. Luckily, there is Satu-Satu coffee house just across the street and that provides a bit of relief - great food and staff there !

the place is not worth it. AC is super loud and if you switch it off you will be sweating in no time. Bathroom is very tiny. There are way better place then here. I feel stupid I booked it without checking it first. Don’t do the same mistake
