Stone Village

Bali

The setting was nice, cute, the room was close to the main street of the village. Quiet establishment. Small parking space available free of charge. Friendly and smiling staff. However, the buffet was really poor. It feels like they are trying to save money by taking products that are not really quality. We had a power outage during the stay and the Wi-Fi is not stable at all (count an internet shutdown every 10 minutes) Ants in the apartment, which is also vintage with old furniture We have so old. Water outage and lack of space that leads to no more water at any time. The pool water pressure is also small, and this is clearly on the intersectional level.

Disappointed, Go Your Own Way

Usually, I do not make reviews wherever I go, but this is a necessity in order to warn everybody. 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗔 𝗥𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠!!!! Before I get to the main point, I wanted to outline the fact that till the last day, when my girlfriend and I encountered the RAT, everything was pretty normal. So, first of all, when we arrived at the location, the son of the owner of the hotel greeted us and took us to our rooms. At the first glance, everything seemed ok, but after we started to empty our bags, we noticed that under our bed there was a lot of dust and a damp smell came from the closet. We overlooked these, because the cleaning lady came the next day and wiped the dust. Also, just as a side note, the cleaning lady came only 2-3 times in 7 days, and the bed sheets where changed only once:). Even though, we saw some bad reviews regarding the food, we were pleased by it, because we are not so pretentious. It was enough for us. Every morning there were scrambled eggs and some cheese, ham, jam, milk and cereal, vegetables. In the evening, the food was different every day, and there were 2-3 options to choose from. Once again, as I mentioned before, the food was very tasty and good. Now, coming back to the room, I will start by saying that the bathroom was very old, and in the first 2 days, we had to talk with some guy that worked there in order to have hot water, but then the rest of the days was fine. Also, because the bathroom was very damped and wet after we took a shower, every day we had to clean the bathroom of slugs:) and it became very disgusting at some point, as there were 2-3 at the same time in the bathroom and in the bath tub (see the photos). Now, the room was fine, but there were some small black things, which we thought were some larvae, as the roof was made out of wood (eventually, in the last night we googled it and figured it out that it was rat poop (again, in the photos) ). We took care of the "larvae", but it kept appearing more and more. In the last night, we went to bed at around 12pm, as we had the transfer bus to the airport at 5:30am, next morning. But, at around 1am, I heard some noises coming from the TV, and when I opened the lights, there it was: 𝗔 𝗛𝗨𝗚𝗘 𝗥𝗔𝗧!!! We ran straight out of the room and called the owner, because after 11pm, there was nobody at the reception:) I told him there was a rat in our room and he told me that he will sent his son, but he will arrive in 20-30 minutes, as they stay far away. After he arrived, he tried to dodge us and just give us another room. But we could not let him slide like that and said everything that we had to tell, at 1:30am:). He said that he can not do anything, just to give us another room. Of course we didn't want to stay in another room, especially since we noticed rat poop on the floor there too. We left our bags and waited for the next three hours on the terrace until the bus came to take us to the airport. The owner's son seemed to me to have a learned speech, the one he gave us, and he didn't seem aware of how dangerous and disgusting it is to be with a rat in the room. At one point, his words were "You know.. here, it is normal" and after we gave him a bad look he said "it is not normal, but we try our best", which seems unacceptable to me for a 4 star hotel, not even for a one star. I still can't imagine what we experienced that night, but also in what an infected environment we stayed for 7 nights. At that hotel there were a lot of families with children who didn't even know what dangers were around them. I don't think I need to say how dangerous the rats are, how many diseases they can transmit, not only by their bite but also by the simple fact that we have lived for so many nights with one or many of them. I was deeply disappointed by this situation that I will certainly not forget. We do not say that you should not go there, but I think that you can make a good judgement after what we have been through and make a better choice:)

RAT IN OUR ROOM

They're generous housing units. One big advantage was that it could be cooled well and not have to run through the air conditioning system at very hot temperatures. This was different from other accommodations during the same holidays. The food is diverse and good. The facility is just super nice and is family-run by very friendly and friendly people.

100% recommended

If you consider that the flight was delayed and we spent 10-15 days on the road, then the first few minutes were not very tasty. The first few minutes were not very tasty.

The first two minutes of the night were perfect, so you had to get a drink of coffee, so you had to get a drink of coffee, so you had to get a cup of coffee. The second night was a week's worth of coffee. There was a lot of food, so you had to get a drink of coffee. There was a lot of food, so you could get a drink of water, so you had to go to the beach.

Paradise for the Living

It's a tourist trap. Due to the vegetation and the stone houses, it looks like a beautiful location, but in fact things are just the other way around. I think the following things/services could be improved. Some examples would be: the heavy smell in the rooms - aired more often, replacing the extra armchairs as beds with real beds, changing the light bulb in the refrigerator in the room, cleaning the rooms daily because there are ants, spiders and house centipedes. Daily replenishment of toilet paper and shower accessories would be a nice thing to happen. At breakfast and dinner there was a heavy smell that sometimes greeted you upon entering. The cake cover is torn and dirty, the cereal jars are dirty, the cutlery and plates are sometimes dirty, the napkins are given with the portion, the coffee is more of a tea, the water dispenser can is old, and the food should be diversified. There was no zoo, just a few rabbits, 2 cats, a few turkeys, a horse and a pony, and the setting was sad and dusty. There are also owls that fly around the yard in the evening and catch mice. Unfortunately, the swimming pools are without water recirculation, and the playgrounds I saw were closed, probably to be renovated. The staff is apparently friendly until you call their attention that things are not ok. I am convinced that this location can look better and be at least 3 stars.

Tourist trap 🪤

Don't  get carried away buy the pictures.? This hotel is a joke .TV Sorry but they are all old and don't  work .  food really bad, breakfast you need to be the firts to arrive otherwise there won't be much. dirty blankets,  check your mattresses, no protecto, so full of blood swet , and sex stains,  some on pillows. nothing works properly,  no one at the hotel after 23h, so if you have an emergency deal with it.
   Really far from beach or center, 20 min walk and bad road, dark at night no pavement.
We are making a big complaint. There are better ones in the town, maybe a bit more expensive but proper hotels. This onevis a joke. Pretty outside, but hotel from horror inside.

We stayed for 2 weeks in Stone Village with our two girls aged 7 and 11.We thank the whole team who is here for their welcome, there is a nice family atmosphere. Our apartment was rustic but quite pleasant, the stones keep a nice coolness and the climate was more punctual. The buffet is varied and the kitchen is very good with fresh products for breakfast and dinner. There are 3 swimming pools, the maintenance is done at night and should be strengthened. Access to the beach is by road in 10 minutes, or a small train can also stop every hour in front of the hotel and take you to the different crickets of Bali for low temperatures.

A very pleasant stay

Views were breathtaking, we had a room with the mountain view, we could not get enough of that. Hospitality was amaaaazing, and we really enjoyed our breakfast and dinner which was so plentiful. Unfortunetly when it came to drinks like juices or coffee, it was super bad. 

When it comes to downsides the problem is ROOMS. They are super old, dark, water is unstable, cleanless was no found. We had to wash our hair while being on our knees because they did not have the thingy to hang the shower head. The rooms were no cleaned, in two weeks we had only 3 times our room cleaned. We slept super bad due to the old matress and uncomfy bed. Outside pools were musty and not inviting. It is not suitable for people who has a walking issues since it is quite far from the beach. 

If I were do this again, I would come back only for views and food.

Amazing views, hospitality. Rooms needs an update and more cleanliness

Complex with enormous potential but unfortunately very old-fashioned. Finishes do not seem to be the priority. Uncleaned and impractical pools. Hot water intermittently. Very medium and redundant lunches and meals. Staff is very helpful. No activity is offered in the establishment which is nevertheless well placed. Very mixed stay. Furniture in the apartments dates from another era and to the limit of the acceptable. Correct in the apartments. 2 ponies plus 1 riding to the limit of abuse without any maintenance like the establishment.

What to Avoid

Room 14 is very dark, closer to a cagibi is so small, placed under the restaurant so very noisy. Greek songs from 8am, a real happiness! No hot water, air conditioning down, closet that doesn't collapse as soon as you touch it, electrical outlet with bare wires, refrigerator that doesn't close, non-rigorous housekeeping: spider webs and cat prints in the bathtub, water from troubled and dirty swimming pools. In short, an establishment to avoid even if visually, it's very beautiful these stone houses as well as the surrounding vegetation and especially Bougainvillees.
