    The owners are really warm and welcoming. They have good tips. We only stayed for 2 nights and could leave our bags till we needed to go to the airport. Would recommend Villa gekyu. Next time when we will be in Bali would book again

    We had the most lovely and relaxing stay here! So sad it was short, but we’re incredibly grateful to have spent our last two nights in Bali at this wonderful place. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and we truly appreciated the hospitality. The house has a very comfortable and homely vibe, yet also feels extremely luxurious and hotel-like. The pool area in particular is perfect!! We recommend heading down to Jimbaran beach for sunset and a meal. Thank you so much Benny and Gusti, we already miss it!

    Thank you ladies for your kind and honest words. Really made our day. We are happy to be able to share our place with you both. Hope to see you back with your loved ones. 🙏🙏

    The owner couple of this accommodation is the most kind host I have ever met here .since they knew our local driver took us to some bad restaurants. They told us many good and affordable restaurants. They’re the best.

    Wow, what an absolute gem of a place to stay in Bali. A truly beautiful oasis within the hustle and bustle of jimbaran! Perfectly located to explore the local area and surrounding bukit. The couple who run the guest house are by far two of the nicest people we have ever met on our travels, two beautiful souls willing to help all that come to stay with them. They always had time for all of the guest and helped us out in many ways whilst staying with them. The other staff were also super nice and helpful Breakfast was delicious and varied every morning, the coffee was superb, the room so peaceful. Honestly I could go on for ever haha. Just stay here, you will not be disappointed Suksma 🙏

    It was all amazing, if we could score it 100 we would

    The premises looked beautiful.

    The owners are intrusive. They did not respect my privacy. I didn’t feel comfortable at all at Villa Gekyu.

    Property response:

    Thank you for still thinking of us. It means a lot to us that someone cares. First and foremost you booked and cancelled and rebooked and cancelled again before arriving but still turned up and demanded a cash refund when you arrived. We have made every effort to address your cancellation appropriately with booking as it is beyond our control. However, your recent comments and actions have been very UNUSUAL and seem to reflect deeper PERSONAL ISSUES. We genuinely hope you’re doing well and encourage you to prioritize your well-being. You should seek professional help for your mental health. Once again thank you for this amazing review.

    It's a wonderful place with peaceful and relaxing atmosphere in the middle of Bukit peninsular. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Feels like home💛. Location is very convenient, just 15 min bike drive to Melasti - one of the best beaches of Bali, close to shops and restaurants, quick shortcut to the road to Airport/Kuta. No road noise at all. Very clean and spacious rooms and the territory. Filtered drinking water is available. Motorbike for rent. Would love to come back here again 🥰

    Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

    This place is heaven! It is an oasis with beautiful housing and garden. Benni and Ayu are the most pleasant and accommodating hosts you could think of! We felt treated like being part of the family. Any requests or questions we had, they supported us with all their knowledge about anything. I fully recommend this place to anyone, who is looking for a quiet, peaceful get away and perfect hosts. Villa Gekyu earned a place in our heart, we will most definetely be back! With the kindest regards and best wishes from Germany, Timo and Tamara!

    Villa Gekyu was simply the most magical place of our entire stay in Bali. The house was beautiful but wat sets this property appart from any other place is it’s owners. They are a retired couple that has worked in the hospitality business their whole lives and built the house to give the same feel as a resort. We have never had the joy of meeting such a warm interesting and inviting family, that opened our minds and hearts to new customs and ideas and made us feel the genuine essence of Bali. We went on our honeymoon and stayed at many places in Bali, but this place has a special place in our hearts that taught us so much this new chapter of our lives. We recommend 100% staying at this house for a week and soak in everything about this couple and their teachings about Balinese culture, cooking and stories. Thank you Benny and Sri for your warmth and teachings, we will come back soon!! Rodrigo and Maria

    Property response:

    Thank you for your kind words. Happy to have you back anytime. You are the essence of what Bali needs as tourists. You both absorb the culture and Balinese hospitality so well.

    Just everything! The awesome hosts, the house, the pool, the area, the distance to beaches (you'll need a bike, but then you could explore a lot).

    Nothing, all perfect.

    Benny, his wife and June are amazing hosts who know how to make the stay at their place a special and unforgettable experience. They are always open for a chat, know the island perfectly and are real experts in giving travel advice to each and everyone based on their travel preferences. The place is beautiful and in the nature.

    I loved it! However, there are animals (geckos, chicken, other birds) in the area which would wake you up early in the morning if you have a light sleep.

    Property response:

    Thanks Daniel besides shooting the chickens. The owners have relocated their feeding to a different area hence the sound of roosters are gone. The birds are beautiful and I have no problems with them

    Appartments were super clean, nicely decorated and spacious. Entire Villa with pool and everything looks amazing. You can rent a scooter right at the property and location is also in the middle of everything (quick access to different beaches, a mall, ATM, etc.). Breakfast fast super tasty and local meals everyday. To top ot all off the hosts were incredible and shared lots of stories about the balinese culture. They helped us a lot in planning our entire bali trip! Thank you again and we definetely recommend this place :-)

    Benny and Ayu were exceptional hosts, welcoming, informative and good company. The house and garden are beautiful. Maybe a name on the property would help out of town drivers to know when they found it!
