Calamús Villa Canggu — Hotel in Pulau Bali

We booked this villa for 9 nights through Booking.com. While I understand that Bali is a tropical island and encountering a few ants is normal, the situation here was far beyond that.

Upon checking in, I found a significant number of ants in the bedrooms. The owner responded by sending his team to apply pesticide spray, which isn’t ideal for sleeping conditions. Despite this, we decided to give the benefit of the doubt and stayed the night. However, we couldn’t sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time as the night was spent constantly killing ants. By morning, my back was covered in bites, and I had to visit a hospital for treatment.

The following morning, I took a video showing the bed infested with hundreds of ants. When I shared this with the owner, he proposed sending his team again to repeat the same ineffective process from the previous day. At that point, I decided to pack my bags and check out, as I could not risk my health any further. I ended up forfeiting 8 nights of my booking because I couldn’t bear to stay there a minute longer.

The villa is completely open on all four sides, with the kitchen and living area fully exposed. This makes them impractical to use during the day due to the heat and risky at night due to the surrounding wildlife.

If you're willing to risk your health and safety, this villa might suit you. Otherwise, I strongly advise against booking it. I am attaching videos as evidence to ensure the owner cannot deny these issues. It’s also worth noting that this owner has been banned from Airbnb in the past due to...

This villa is absolutely stunning. We stayed there for 2 months and had the best time ever. It’s perfect if you have a little baby, because it’s one floor and layout is very convenient for everyone 😍 The staff who cleans the villa is great, they do a very detailed work on cleaning to make sure is always immaculate. Ayu (the main cleaner) was always so much help. It’s the cleanest villa in Bali I’ve seen personally. Rooms are gorgeous, very spacious and beautifully designed. Big closets, which is rare in Bali, where you can put all the stuff and it will still be room there for more. The garden is so beautiful! It was an enjoyment to wake up to this every day :) Kitchen is well equipped and very convenient for cooking. Pool size is good and pool is always clean, thanks to the best staff. Location is perfect, very close to all must-visit locations in Canggu and Seminyak. We can’t...

I have been coming to Bali for +10 years and this is the best place I have ever stayed! The villa itself is designed to the smallest detail with a modern and classy atmosphere. The space is such a delight with an open kitchen, living space, and pool area that made our vacation so much better. The staff is also lovely and super attentive to anything we needed, especially Ayu made us feel at home. In general a super beautiful and modern villa full of details that provided us with lots of privacy. I can fully recommend Calamus if you are looking for a special...
