What recent reviews say

Recent guests report stark contrasts. Positive reviews from a year ago praised responsive hosts, clean units, and value. However, two one-star reviews in the last month describe last-minute booking cancellations with no backup accommodation, bathroom hygiene problems (unflushed stains, cockroaches), and unresolved complaints. Older reviews also flag cockroaches and slow response times, suggesting these issues persist.

Recent shift: Recent one-month-old reviews (1 star) describe serious booking and hygiene failures, contrasting sharply with positive reviews from a year ago. The cancellation incident and cockroach complaints align with earlier reported issues (2024), suggesting underlying problems may not have been resolved.

Praised for

  • clean and comfortable units
  • good value for price
  • private pool and nice views

Watch-outs

responsive-hostclean-comfortablevalue-for-moneygreat-for-familiesbeautiful-poolunclean-unitpoor-communicationunresponsive-host
Best for: families booking well in advance who need pool villas and can tolerate some management risk
Think twice if: last-minute bookings risky due to recent cancellations and overbooking; cockroaches and bathroom hygiene reported multiple times; elderly guests should verify parking and accessibility before booking

Strengths

  • private pool amenities
  • family-friendly layout and capacity
  • responsive management (when available)
  • decent value pricing

Worth knowing

  • Recent one-star review: host cancelled confirmed booking via Agoda on check-in day and failed to provide promised alternative units for party of 7
  • Hygiene complaints: unflushed toilet stains, cockroaches in bathrooms and kitchens reported across multiple stays (2024 and 2026)
  • Parking allocation far from elevator lobby; wheelchair accessibility concerns raised
  • Construction materials (wooden boards) still visible in common areas at time of 2026 visit
  • Host communication: responsive to initial WhatsApp contact but unresponsive to formal complaints

Common questions

Is parking accessible for guests with mobility issues?
Parking spaces for homestay guests are located far from the elevator lobby, which one recent guest found difficult when traveling with a wheelchair-using elderly family member.
What should I know about the facility condition?
As of May 2026, some common areas still had wooden construction boarding visible, suggesting renovation may not be fully complete.
How responsive is the management?
The host replies to initial booking and check-in queries via WhatsApp, but guests report delayed or no response to formal complaints about cleanliness issues.

Clean, newly built condo with good appliances draws praise, but the isolated location leaves guests without easy foot access to restaurants or convenience stores. A solid choice if you plan to drive or stay put.

Bali Residence Homestay by Impian Raudah

Bali Residence attracts guests seeking family-friendly Muslim accommodation with good value. Visitors consistently report comfortable rooms and helpful staff, yet recent stays reveal serious hygiene lapses-dirty corridors, cockroaches, and broken fixtures. Host responsiveness varies sharply: some encounters are smooth, others involve lengthy waits for communication. Photos may overstate condition.
