Our family of four had a relaxing time inside the property. The service and food was great, the pool and room was very clean and the people were friendly. The street Sama’s is on, is more relaxed than just down the road where traffic is heavy. Would stay again. Good value for the price.

Great setup for lots of people, however the music at night was loud! The owner did email us about the noise to let us know but it was very loud. Live band across the road every night until 11pm. Pool was cold due to lack of sun but plenty of room for large family

Great location but cottages are a walk back from the hustle and bustle so quiet and romantic. Breakfast served on your patio was a bonus. Mosquito nets and mosquito coils provided which was clutch during rainy season. Central to everything but still private.

Loved staying here. Staff were excellent. Beautiful breakfast served to your balcony every morning. Grounds were always clean. Pool was private and great. Bathroom was brand new. Staff would stop to visit with us when we were on our balcony. So ffriendly. Our favorite place to stay so far! Restaurants and shopping close by. There was a place to park for our tour guides.

This is a fabulous little villa with pool secluded behind vegetation off a busy street. Terraced so it is quiet and private. Staff are so gracious and the location is fabulous for walking to the sights, the art market and restaurants. Easy access to the walks to the little local rice fields and cafes. Thanks Sama’s my daughters and I loved our stay!

Had a comfortable week’s stay at the Ayu Villa, just next to the reception and pool. While it was convenient, noise was a problem especially from the restaurant next door that played rock and roll music till around 10.30 every night! The staff are pretty friendly and Mega at the reception in particular was exceptional. She helped me plan my entire stay which included booking transport, dinner reservations and side trips to Tanah lot etc.
Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Wayan on Sep 27, 2023
Hi Christine,Thankyou so much for taking the time to post a review for your stay with us. I apologise about the noise, please know that this is completely out of our control and something that we have tried to have stopped but to no avail. The Ayu Cottage that you stayed in, however, is nowhere near this music, the Ayu Cottage is at the main property not near the road, so I am very confused about your comment, especially describing the music as 'next door', as it just isn't. Anyone staying in our villa near the road and therefore the music is notified about this before check in, we let everyone know and give them the chance to cancel if they wish. Please note that the vast majority of guests love the music and often go and join in. I understand that this is not for everyone, but I feel it is important to give our side of these kind of complaints too so that others know we try our absolute best to ensure all guests have a calm, peaceful and relaxing at Sama's Cottages and Villas.Thankyou so much for complimenting our amazing front of house staff Mega, we agree she is exceptional!We wish you all the best Christine.

Great stay
Lovely helpful staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Cleaned room very well each day. They are trying to reduce plastic waste (something not very common in Bali yet) so they have glass water bottles and you can re-fill your reusable water bottle from their supply for a small charge. Lovely choice of breakfast cooked to order each day, just select what you want and what time the day before.

El lugar es lindo y el personal muy amable, PERO no las habitaciones no tienen aire acondicionado. Por más que te pongan ventiladores, el calor de Bali es muy fuerte. El internet falló mucho, era malo por momentos. El personal te vuelve loco con que tienes que salir a cierta hora del local para fumigar contra los mosquitos.

Dear Alfonso,Thank you for leaving a review and thank you for acknowledging our friendly staff. However, we do have air-conditioned rooms and fan-cooled rooms available on our property, so if it would be too hot in a fan-cooled room, an air-conditioned room might have been the better option for you. As for the mosquito fogging, it is imperative that guests are removed while fogging is being undertaken as it is poisonous, so the staff are only doing their job and looking out for your safety, when asking guests to leave. Thank you again for your comments.
