We had an amazing stay at Borneo Beach Villas – Karambunai. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm and welcoming. The host went above and beyond — from preparing thoughtful snacks after our flight to surprising us with extra cake during our stay. A special mention goes to the lovely housekeeper who welcomed us and regularly checked in with a big smile. Her kindness and attentiveness truly made the whole experience feel personal and unforgettable. The villa itself is stunning — spacious, beautifully maintained, and offering breathtaking views. All of these details, combined with the exceptional service, made our stay not just comfortable, but truly memorable. Highly recommended if you're looking for a peaceful getaway with a touch of genuine hospitality.

Apartment was spacious, fully equipped and very comfortable. Host family was very accommodating and friendly. Apartment was over owner's own home and in a group of family homes so felt very safe.
