Bali Villas

Exceptional Design & Thoughtful Luxury at Irnaqana Villa Ubud – A Standout Private Pool Villa. We recently stayed at Irnaqana Villa by GenuineHost in the Ubud and were thoroughly impressed by the architectural design and overall experience. This is not just another new villa (open late 2025), it’s a beautifully conceived private sanctuary where modern elegance meets natural tropical living in perfect harmony. Irnaqana consists of only four villas, each one a completely separate building. This gives every guest total privacy and the feeling of having your own exclusive retreat, which is rare and highly appreciated. The First Impression: A Brilliant Design Moment. From the moment you arrive, the entrance sets the tone. The elegantly designed door is a masterstroke, as it opens, it dramatically reveals the entire private swimming pool in one breathtaking view. It’s cinematic and instantly relaxing. No obstructed sightlines, just pool and lush greenery waiting for you. This clever architectural choice makes the outdoor space feel like an extension of the living area and creates that “wow” factor right away. Lush Garden & Natural Surroundings and water flow sound. The garden is lush and thoughtfully planted with a wonderful variety of tropical plants that feel completely natural and established. It’s not overly manicured, instead, it blends beautifully with the surrounding rice fields and countryside, giving a genuine sense of being immersed in Bali’s nature. Morning light filtering through the leaves, birdsong, and the gentle breeze made our mornings on the terrace truly special. Spacious Interior with Impressive High Ceilings Inside, the villa shines with its generous proportions and smart layout. The ceilings are exceptionally high — at least 5–6 meters — which not only makes the space feel incredibly airy and luxurious but also keeps the villa naturally cooler throughout the day. This is a game-changer in Bali’s climate. The unit is cleverly split into two distinct yet connected zones: • On the left side you have the dining and TV lounge area — perfect for relaxed meals or evening entertainment at the sunken seating. • On the right side is the bedroom with a bathtub and bathroom wing. Both sides offer ample space, so nothing feels cramped. The design elegantly balances modern lines, high-quality materials, and natural elements, clean aesthetics paired with warm tones and textures that nod to Balinese tradition without feeling clichéd. Every piece of furniture, lighting, and finishing feels carefully chosen and of premium quality. Bedroom & Bathroom Comfort The bed is enormous and one of the most comfortable we’ve experienced in Bali. After long days of exploring Ubud or playing sports, sinking into it was pure bliss — our backs were very thankful! The bedroom feels spacious and peaceful with excellent blackout options. The bathroom is equally impressive — spotlessly clean, with strong water pressure in the shower, fresh towels daily, and good-quality toiletries. Everything felt hygienic and well-maintained. The air conditioning is powerful and gets deliciously cold although might needs 1-2 minutes, which was welcome after hot days. Combined with the high ceilings and natural ventilation, the villa stayed comfortable at all times. Location Perks. While the villa itself is tucked away in a quiet, green setting ideal for relaxation, the surrounding area is surprisingly convenient. There’s a fantastic variety of eateries within a short distance — from authentic local warungs serving delicious Balinese food to excellent international restaurants. Final Thoughts Irnaqana Villa excels in thoughtful, high-quality design that prioritizes space, light, views, and privacy. It successfully delivers both aesthetic beauty and genuine comfort. We would definitely return and highly recommend it. A big thank you to the team at GenuineHost for maintaining such a beautiful property. Rating: 10 out of 10.

When we arrived, no one at reception was available, and we had to wait until someone happened to come by. The staff were very uninterested in helping us, assigning us a parking space, or welcoming us. This same lack of interest continued throughout our stay, so much so that we didn't even get breakfast the next morning. The room is tidy, clean, and well-equipped. It has air conditioning, a TV, a mini-fridge, a hairdryer, bathrobes, a kettle, and an iron. Laundry service is offered. The bathroom is adequate—toiletries, toilet paper, and towels are provided. The pool looks clean, but the pool area is, as is typical for the area, heavily overgrown and unfortunately offers little ventilation, making it feel stuffy. However, overall, there's nothing seriously wrong with the medium-sized pool and the sunbathing area. The room, at the advertised price of approximately 400,000 IDR, is commensurate with the services provided. The nominal price of 1.5jt IDR on the booking websites would be grossly overpriced given the poor service provided by the staff and the inadequate breakfast.

My family of six and I stayed in a villa for the first time, and the open-plan dining area and private pool, among other amenities, made our stay incredibly comfortable! We opted for breakfast, and it was great that there was a choice of menu items. On the first day, we didn't quite understand how it worked and ordered everything, which resulted in a massive amount of food. However, from the second day onwards, we were able to order just what we fancied, which was much more efficient. And everything we tried was delicious. It was thoughtful that each room was equipped with a laundry drying rack. However, I did think it would be even better if there was a washing machine available in a common area. They also thoughtfully provided a water dispenser and insect repellent spray, which was a very considerate touch. Since each room also has its own lock, it would be ideal for groups of friends as well. We'd love to come back if we get the chance again! The staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful!

Our entire experience at this villa was absolutely excellent. Probably the best stay we’ve ever had in Bali. The villa itself is very clean and has everything you need. What I especially appreciated is that the team prepared almost everything we requested in advance for our child - a high chair, a baby cot, and other small things we needed while traveling with a toddler. It was thoughtful, genuinely helpful, and made our stay much easier. The location is also truly great. It’s max a 5-minute walk to the beach, which made it easy to go every day. There are also several convenience stores nearby, even closer than the beach (around 3mins by walking), so it’s easy to grab anything you might need. The staff is probably the best part of the entire villa! Everyone is incredibly friendly, warm, and always ready to help with anything. Our breakfast was included for 4 ppl, and every day we needed one breakfast adjusted to be suitable for our child. Even though it wasn’t on the menu, they organized it for us daily - huge thanks for that! Another thing that impressed us: we arrived around 8–9 AM, but check-in officially starts at 1 PM. After a long flight with a small child, we really needed somewhere to wait comfortably and they have a dedicated waiting room for this. It’s not just a basic room; it’s actually very good, with a bed, a toilet, and everything a family with a child might need. It helped us a lot! The same happened on departure day: checkout was at 12 PM and our flight was at 6 PM, and they let us use that room again for free. We’re very grateful for that! The chef (unfortunately I didn’t meet him personally) cooks really delicious food both for adults and for kids. The meals were so good that most of the time we ordered food directly from the villa instead of eating elsewhere. There’s enough variety to match different tastes, and you can easily rely on the villa’s food throughout your stay. I also saw some older reviews mentioning mosquitoes. I don’t know what it was like before, but during our stay they brought mosquito repellent solutions every single day without exception and it really worked. We never had any mosquito issues at all, not even our child. If I had only two small suggestions for improvement (and they were not a problem for us at all): 1 - It could be nice to have communication via WhatsApp. Of course you can call or walk to the front desk in seconds, but WhatsApp would be more convenient for some guests. 2 - A couple of times we asked for the villa to be cleaned in about 30 minutes, were told yes, but the team came closer to an hour later. I assume it was because housekeeping was busy with other villas which is totally understandable but it would be helpful to know in advance if there will be a delay. This happened only twice and never became an issue for us. Overall, this villa is amazing the place is great, the people are genuinely kind, and the entire experience was the best we’ve had in Bali. When we come back, we’ll be happy to stay here again.

An incredible villa in Bali 🌴🤍 Our Bali vacation was made especially delightful thanks to this villa. From the first moments, you feel an incredible atmosphere here – it's beautiful, cozy, and peaceful. This is exactly the kind of place you look forward to returning to after walks, beach days, and a busy day out. The villa itself is simply stunning: spacious, stylish, beautifully decorated, and meticulously designed down to the smallest detail. Everything looks aesthetic and is genuinely comfortable to live in. We particularly loved the sense of privacy and having our own little space where we could fully relax. The grounds are very well-maintained, with lots of greenery and beautiful tropical plants. The authentic Balinese atmosphere is all around – you wake up and immediately feel like you're in a truly special place 🌺🌴 I must also highlight the cleanliness. The villa was tidy, cleaning was done regularly, and everything we needed was provided. It's so pleasant when a place isn't just beautiful in photos, but looks even better in real life. The staff deserves a special thank you ❤️ Everyone was so kind, attentive, and responsive. They tried to help with every request, always greeted us with a smile, and did everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We also really enjoyed the food. Breakfasts were delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. It was especially pleasant to enjoy breakfast in such a beautiful setting in the morning, with no need to rush. We got exactly the kind of vacation we came to Bali for: lots of beauty, tranquility, privacy, and pleasant emotions. This villa became a true sanctuary and place of relaxation for us. 🥹🤍 A huge thank you to the owners and the entire team for such hospitality! We are leaving with very pleasant memories and will definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable holiday in Bali. We would gladly return here again! 🌴✨

What a delightful property. Absolutely loved it. Staff are very warm and friendly. Service is excellent. The property has multiple pools, a very well appointed Spa (though a bit pricey) with a range of treatments we have not seen in some of the most renowned Spa's including sound healing, therapeutic treatments, injury, relaxing or stress relief treatments, Balinese, Ayurvedic and other holistic treatments. Amazing! The restaurant onsite has a nice variety of multi cuisine food and the preparations are excellent so kudos to the Chef! We did not plan to but ended up eating most of our dinners at the property restaurant instead of dining out. The only downside would be the slightly off the beat location that required our car service to go over some very rough road patches on the way. But all in all we would highly recommend staying here and would probably come back for another visit. Oh, and almost forgot....the Mimosa as a part of the breakfast buffet was a delightful touch!

The bamboo house was quite unique, and the building itself was beautiful. However, the cleanliness was a bit concerning and didn't hold up to close inspection. Check-out is strictly at 12 PM, otherwise, you'll have four or five staff members waiting at your door to assist you with checking out 😂. Hot water is limited, so you have to use it sparingly.

We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We were traveling as two couples and honestly did not expect to find such a beautiful and peaceful place away from the busy tourist routes. The hotel is charming, very well maintained, and has a special atmosphere that makes you feel relaxed from the first moment. It is also conveniently located close to one of Bali’s famous attractions, Lohongan Sweet, which was a wonderful bonus for us. The owner is absolutely wonderful — incredibly welcoming and attentive. His hospitality made us feel at home and even made us wish to extend our vacation and stay here longer. We would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay. Обратите внимание, что с хозяином нужно заоанее связаться по номеру в ваучере. Двери открываются сложновато и от себя. И если в этом семейном отеле никого не найдете, то позовите хозяина из его дома, который находится по соседству. Он замечательный и отель красивый и похож на виллу, но по цене геста. Бассейн глубокий, на кухне все есть, магазины в пяти минутах ходьбы, пастели удобные, все чисто и душевно!

We love heritage buildings and vintage style, so these little bungalows were perfect for us. They were a little walk away from the reception (no buggy!) which meant so peaceful and quiet! Gorgeous wooden bedroom and bathroom. The shower is a little outdated and when I first turned it on there was a sulphuric smell which was a bit concerning. Basically, if you like rustic, no frills, no extra service etc then these are a lovely cute experience. However, if you want luxury and are squeamish about old style open homes, this isn't for you. Breakfast was very basic so we generally ate out. The main receptionist was a lovely gentlemen, a very quick registration and we were in! Rooms were clean and nice and dark for a cosy sleep at night.

I spent 5 nights at Kose Villas Ubud, and this is one of those places where the setting truly shapes half of the experience. Location & vibe Kose Villas sits right in the middle of rice fields—quiet, lush, and instantly calming. It feels like Ubud suddenly switches to “slow living” mode. The views are unquestionable: absolutely beautiful. If you’re coming for serenity and scenery, this is exactly why you’d stay here. Important note about the access road One thing to keep in mind: getting to the villas involves walking/driving through the rice fields on a narrow path, with a small stream/irrigation canal running alongside. If you’re not a confident rider/driver (especially on a scooter), or if walking is difficult for you, this could be a challenge—particularly in the evening or if you’re carrying heavy luggage. The staff offer a motorbike transfer to and from the main road. I personally walked every time, and it took about 5–7 minutes at a relaxed pace. It’s a lovely walk—just important to know the setup in advance. The room: airy, high ceilings & a glass wall My standard villa felt genuinely nice: high ceilings, lots of space, and one full glass wall that makes the room feel even more open. I had a unit with a garden view and a small kitchen. I didn’t cook at all, but having a fridge was truly convenient (water, fruit, snacks—anything you want to keep for the next morning). There’s also a kettle, but oddly the only option provided was instant coffee sachets—no tea (a small detail, but in Ubud it feels like tea should be a given). Bathroom & shower The bathroom and shower are standard and fine. The only thing I noticed: the “hot” water felt slightly lukewarm, even at the maximum setting. It didn’t bother me—since the weather was hot, a cooler shower actually felt refreshing. But if you love a truly hot shower, it’s something to note (and perhaps for the hotel to check). What disappointed me A few things kept this from feeling like a fully polished villa stay: • No hair dryer—at all. I asked at reception, and it turns out the hotel simply doesn’t have hair dryers. For this type of stay, that’s a surprising and inconvenient omission. • Not enough lighting in the evening. During the day it’s bright and beautiful, but once the sun sets the room feels quite dim—there aren’t enough lamps for a comfortable evening (reading, working, getting ready). • “Shared” pool, but not really. I was a bit confused to learn the shared pool isn’t shared across the whole property, but only for two units (1 and 2). The place also seemed quite empty during my stay, yet I still wasn’t offered access to the pool. Not a huge deal, but it did feel like a service/communication gap. Overall Overall, I left with a positive impression, mostly thanks to the location: rice fields, quiet, gorgeous views, and a real sense of privacy. It’s a great place for a reset—slow mornings, nature all around, and that “Ubud green” backdrop. That said, if the hotel wants to consistently earn a higher rating, it should improve a few basics: provide hair dryers, add better lighting, communicate more clearly about the pool, and possibly check the water temperature.
