Everything

Stayed in September 2023

Where to start. We expected to be staying at Dream Villa but instead Booking.com did not mention in their advertising that there are 2 Bali Dream Villas in Seminyak. Number 1 is about 25 - 30 years old and shows it with worn out fixtures and fittings. The staff in general were never proactive. You had to ask for everything from glasses to have juice in the morning to coffee (with the exception of two occasions) Breakfast was a disappointment and disaster. They had seating for 18 guests in the breakfast area but way more villas and people staying. The cooked offerings in the heating trays always seemed to be dried out, over or under cooked. And you had to ask for coffee. Our villa was tidy and the staff kept it clean. But the towels that were originally white were more grey and worn beyond their use by date. You would find lipstick and eyeshadow stains on most towelling. The bathroom was in need of an update 10 years ago with no plug to stop water from leaking out of the basin and bath. The large bed was a good size, BUT it was hard as a rock to the point of sending your side into pins and needles as you slept. We removed the Duna out of its cover as we did not need it....That was a shock when you saw the stains and the brownish colours of it. Staff: The staff were there to do a job. They didn't seem to have their hearts into looking out for their guests. On arrival our first interaction with the guy at reception was "Give me your passports" then a piece of paper thrust at us for me to sign. And "You pay now" We were eventually met by a staff member who took the time to explain breakfast times locations etc. We got the same guy at reception when we left with a similar effect. We have travelled extensively and love Bali and the people and always look forward to our trip here. This is the first time we have been very disappointed ☹️ We have stayed at the Canggue Dream Villas and it was a great experience.

We liked the idea of having our own villa. We liked that it was close to Seminyak. We liked the size of the villa. We liked the room service staff. The driver to take us into Seminyak.

there are 3 Bali Dream Villas. All in Seminyak but are called 1. Bali Dream villa. 2. Bali Dream villa Seminyak and 3. Bali Dream villa Suites. Make sure you are going to the right one or like us you will be wandering around at midnight looking for the right one after a long journey and over 2 hours spent clearing Bali airport. Whilst booking.com clearly stated a confirmed booking at the “Seminyak’ property we were in fact booked in at the “Suites” property. So the taxi was booked to the wrong property. Eventually a security staff member led our taxi to the right place on his motorcycle. Fridge completely iced up so ineffective. Needing defrosting every 3 days as freezer compartment door missing. Internet worked rarely and when it did was unsecured network so not safe. Only tv channels available Bahasa Indonesia. Steps into and out of the pool very high with no handrails. Had to use a tree next to the pool get in and out. Problems with noisy neighbours late at night on 3 nights.

Very quiet location day and night (except for inconsiderate neighbours). No cockerels, thumping night club music, dogs or traffic noise. Villa private with a terrific pool and private sun beds. Air conditioner quiet and effective. Bed very comfortable. Staff excellent. Friendly, polite and helpful.

The open showers made it difficult to shower during thunderstorms and the light kept cutting off in one of the rooms. A couple of staff were rushing us to finish our breakfast

I liked the incorporation of nature into the layout of the Villa, as well as the open, airy space for the pool and living room.

there wasn't anything we didn't like

The breakfast was great, the staff were very friendly and helpful and having the bonus of a driver on site that you can book for your activities and the shuttle service to the city center was excellent

It was a little difficult to find, and confused the taxi drivers because there were 3 locations all in the same area - but that didn’t negatively impact our stay at all!

The privacy, the staff friendliness and responsiveness, the beautiful surroundings. It felt like our own little paradise with a private pool and outdoor shower!

I struggled with The Bali Dream as we had paid less in Kuta for another hotel which I think was vastly superior. We had been at Poppies the night before, who I think really have the amenities and customer service right. At Bali Dream, the rooms were not as clean or up to date. The doors all stuck or were warped. There was only one free plug in the room, we had to unplug lamps to charge our devices. The bathroom smelt of damp. The pool had a film of oil on the top due to a broken filter. There were ants everywhere. The bedding made me very itchy and despite the mosquito net I woke up with a lot of bites. I used the free toothbrush next to the sink and all the bristles came out in my mouth. My partner used the pool and his leg went green from the chlorine tablet. At Poppies, they constantly provided fresh water in a cooler for your use. Their breakfast was also delicious and delivered to your room. The breakfast at The Bali Dream was not good for the price - small, over cooked chicken sausages, no hot drinks/coffee, the veggie curry was topped up from another new tray rather than replaced (bad food hygiene). However, staff were quite helpful and location was fine to get back to from Seminyak bars/restaurants. I would not stay here again for the price. I would suggest the manager to stay the night at some other high rated hotels in the area and see what the differences are. The site is lovely, it just needs some attention and care to be good again.

The staff were quite nice. You were given a very nice welcome drink.
