Vila Lumbung

Gusti, Dony and Cayha were si much fun! They made our first day at Vila Lumbung so amazing. Very attentive and welcoming!

Friendly staff, great food, amazing atmosphere poolside.

5/5 service from Gusty, Reitina, Adi, Deby, August, Cahya and Don’t!

Just want to highlight a few pro’s and con’s for this Hotel, it was just okay for the money, could be so much better though. I gave all this feedback at the Hotel and followed up with an email after checkout.

Pro’s - Location was very good and the Hotel had a daily shuttle bus to Seminyak Square and the beach at 11am. Mini mart, massage, laundry, restaurants and money changers all a very short walk (1-2 min) from the Hotel entrance going either way.

Price was also good, one of the reasons we booked it.

Small pool, well maintained and well maintained grounds/gardens.

Staff, really friendly and attentive as you come to expect in Bali.

Con’s - We stayed in a bungalow at the rear of the Hotel, had two rooms (upstairs and downstairs) for our family of four. Downstairs room had an outside bathroom/shower. Novel/old style but we got savaged by Mozzies. Air con’s were old and struggled. Really hit and miss with the air con. Beds were ok, room is a little dated but not bad for the price.

Gym/fitness room - Every piece of equipment (there wasn’t a lot in there anyway) was broken or partially broken. Table tennis table in there was the best thing in there.

Beer not included in happy hour. No good deals/incentive to eat or drink around the pool. Limited sun lounges available, pool was quiet/relaxed atmosphere and not much for the kids to do/use/atmosphere.

Breaksfast buffet was very basic and the quality was average, below what we have experienced at every other place we have stayed at in Bali. Didn’t even have baked beans daily (twice in a week), bacon was always undercooked, mini sausages always undercooked, limited fruit/cereal/yoghurt options.

The all you can eat BBQ Monday 250k IDR per person was just satay skewers and a Rice and noodle options. Not good value for money, got a little sick post eating this dinner/first night at the Hotel, kids had pizza, chips, burger from the normal menu. Didn’t like the food and my kids eat everything. So we didn’t bother ordering more food/eating at the Hotel again. Beers and drinks at the Hotel were more expensive than some 4-5 star resorts we have stayed at previously.

We ended up checking out three days early, and going back to a Hotel we have stayed at previously, naturally no refund/partial refund (wasn’t expecting any though tbh) Raised the dinner issue with the Hotel, still charged us for the food, should have/could have at least wiped that or given we were leaving three nights accomodation/money with them anyway. Despite the extra cost/money loss, going to another Hotel was the best decision/best decision we could have made to save the end of our holiday. Would have left Villa Lumbung earlier if we had the funds/monet to burn by leaving the already paid for accommodation.

2/5 is an honest review, you pay for what you get or don’t get in Bali. This hotel is every bit 2-3 star, priced accordingly, but good location and staff. If you just want a room, basic food, then it’s fine.

Have stayed at Legian Beach Hotel, Jayakarta, Bali Dynasty, Maca Villa (just up the road from here) Movenpick Jimbaran, would recommend all of them/rate all of them a lot higher than Villa Lumbung. Won’t be coming here again.
