Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Unbeatable location just a 5-minute walk from Eat Street
- Private plunge pools in every villa
- Friendly and accommodating Balinese staff
Snel Overzicht: It's cheap and cheerful, but you'll have to overlook peeling paint, dated bathrooms, and the occasional blocked drain.
Beoordeeld door @onlybeabae: My stay at The Jas Villas was exactly what we needed. The romantic flower pool was stunning, and having a baby cot in the room made traveling with our little one a breeze. It felt like a private tropical paradise just for us.

- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are a major pain point—complaints of blocked drains, dated fixtures, and open ceilings letting in bugs.
- Maintenance: Poor. Widespread reports of peeling paint due to dampness, broken pool water features, and noisy ACs.
- Linens & towels: Linens can feel damp due to the tropical humidity, and some towels are reported as stained or worn.
- Odors & scents: Rooms can have a musty, damp smell, especially during the wet season.

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips

Are the private pools actually private?
Yes, the pools are enclosed within your villa walls, though they are quite compact.

It depends on your rate, but guests consistently say the breakfast is very basic—skip it and head to Sisterfields instead.

Can I check in early?

It can be spotty and fluctuates in the rooms, so don't rely on it for heavy remote work.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Walk down the laneway to Jalan Kayu Aya (Eat Street) for some of the best dining in Bali, rather than eating at the hotel.
- ✨
Ask the staff to light mosquito coils in your villa every evening to keep the bugs at bay.
- ✨
If you need a late checkout for a night flight, ask the staff—they are often accommodating if the villa isn't booked.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The entrance to the villa is a living area that feels like wasted internal space.
💡The 'waterfall' features in many of the private pools haven't worked in years.
💡The bathrooms have an open-ceiling design, which looks cool but lets in hordes of mosquitoes.
💡The hotel enforces a strict 2:00 PM check-in and will make you wait in the lobby if you arrive early.
💡The free buggy drop-off service only runs a few times a day and needs to be booked well in advance.
