“Great value hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012
7
people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and it was everything we hoped for and more.
From the moment you get there, it looks pretty relaxing!

PROS
- Great value for money for the quality that you are getting
- The hotel is well presented scenically
- Pool was clean, relaxing and not too busy when we went (with a swim up bar too)
- Rooms were clean, tidy, and quiet throughout out stay (offpeak though..)
- All staff members in reception and at the restaurant were extremely helpful and friendly. Never once did we see them unhappy or unsmiley!
- Location is close to some great restaurants, money changer and convenience store
- Buffet breakfast had lots of options and were fresh and not over crowded or anything
- If you forgot to book tours, you can do it right there at their counter as you walk in
- All tour companies know of this hotel so they will definitely know where to pick u up!


CONS
- For the quality that you get, i felt the food at the restaurant was a bit overpriced. Especially when you have restaurants like Sarong and Tulip within walking distances. If youre desperate then ok...but if u can, save your money guys.
- The cocktails werent very good. We tried about half a dozen, bit strong, not very tasty either and pricey for the quality
- Free wi-fi constantly kicked you off the connection and made you log in over and over which was annoying. If you require a good connection, dont rely on theirs!
- A couple of the staff members were difficult to understand with their english
- Bathroom didnt have a shower head that was fixed to the wall! It was one of those ones where its a hose and you can take it off the wall and hold it in your hand. The height that the attachment was fixed to the wall would be alright if it was higher but it was around my belly button (im 5'9so i had to squat in the bath tub if i wanted to not hold the shower head!
- Our room had a few mozzies during the night. No mosquito net so you need to bring repellent or risk a bite a two. Nothing major, just annoying.
- If youre relying on some TV watching, well dont coz some of the channels have poor reception and you cant jump channels! You have to scroll up/down one by one and there are about 50 of them and majority are local so i couldnt understand much.

OVERALL
Its definitely not 5 star but not 3 star either. Its somewhere in between depending on what youve experienced and what youre used to. We were pleasantly surprised at what we got for the price that we paid. Very affordable and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Room Tip: Avoid the room by the ground floor entrance where everyone comes in and out.

“Highly recommended, fantastic hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

In my experience of staying in hotels there is usually something that just slightly let's a place down.. However at villa lumbung I could not find anything! The place is an oasis. From the minute you walk in you know you have booked the right place. My girlfriend and I stayed in a upstairs villa and it was amazing. We felt like royalty. The villa itself was immaculate. I could not find a hint of dirt even, in the shower! The pool is stunning and the staff beautiful people. Wifi is good by the pool and dining area but didn't really work in the villa. The pool bar is a great place to meet people as, while the atmosphere is relaxed it still has a great vibe for a cocktail or six. Happy hour 4-6 30% off cocktails so during they set you back around $5 each. Brekky is good with Live egg station and a variety of other treats. They serve brekky until 11 which was great for some of the bigger nights. The location is fantastic. It's a really peaceful spot roughly 2min taxi to all the action. Cost about 9000rp. Very highly recommend this place! A+

“Great relaxing hotel !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We , a family of 2 adults and 2 kids ( 7 and 10 yrs ) spent 5 nights at Vila Lumbung recently. We loved it !
We had an upstairs bungalow and the room was amazing ! Huge king bed for us, king day bed for the girls , plus a table and lounge , big bathroom and balcony with a single day bed also. The room is set out with Balinese furniture and architecture with beautiful high ceilings.
We were in 8A , right across from the pool , so could even watch the kids swim whilst reading on the balcony !
From the start the staff were so friendly and helpful .
The buffet breakfast was great , with a huge selection and the best egg chef !
The resort never felt crowded ( it was not at full capacity ) and we were sometimes one of the only ones at the pool or at breakfast !
The pool was lovely ! Two levels , with waterfall , bridges and spa. We stayed at three hotels on our trip , and this was the favourite pool.
The hotel is so quiet and peaceful and yet so close to Seminyak ! You can walk up the road that leads to VL and there is a supermarket and several restaurants and spas to choose from. We ate twice at Warung Enys and the food was cheap and so good ! My husband and I had a massage at the beauty place just down the road and it was great , 60,000 rp for an hour.
We also got some DVDs just down the road and the quality has been great.
The food and drinks at VL are quite expensive compared to what you can get elsewhere so we did not eat much at the hotel. They have a kids menu which is good value , and the girls ordered pizza and Nasi Goreng one day around the pool for 35,000 rp each ( plus tax ) and the portions were huge.
We used VL as a base to explore Seminyak and Legian. We also did a day trip to
Padang Beach and Uluwatu with our driver Made ( booked thru Dewa from Bali car services ) and to Tanah Lot. . Both of these trips were fantastic , as is Made !
All in all we loved Vila Lumbung and cannot fault it for the room , pool , breakfast and staff !
We would come back for sure.

Room Tip: The upstairs bungalows are fantastic !

“Loved it here!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I absolutely loved our stay at Vila Lumbung. Went to Bali with my boyfriend in January 2012 and could not have been happier with our choice of hotel.

We stayed in an deluxe upstairs bungalow room which was incredibly spacious with a huge bed and bathroom, day bed, balcony and beautiful Balinese style roof. The pool was great too and the poolside restaurant was nice to sit at in the evening. Breakfast was lovely- plenty of selection including eggs/omlette of your choice, pastries, pancakes, fruit, Indonesian dishes etc. Very nice!

What really set this place apart from others was the fantastic staff - so helpful and friendly. They seemed genuinely happy to help and very chatty and approachable. Also very helpful with organising transfers, advice for restaurants, etc. I was sick on the day of check-out and they allowed a later check out for us so I had some more time to recover (very appreciative!). They were all so lovely and really made all the difference in our stay!

Vila Lumbung is slightly out of the centre of Seminyak but it was nice to be staying in a quieter location. You can still walk to several nearby restaurants. We usually took a taxi as the roads can be difficult to walk on due to no footpaths but the taxi's to get elsewhere in Seminyak were less than AUD$2 and arrived within about 1 minute of the reception calling so very easy! The location was nice to be away from it all but still able to easily access shops/restaurants.

Overall, loved loved loved Hotel Vila Lumbung and would certainly recommend it for any couples or families visiting Bali!
