We stayed at Maylie Bali Villa for 4 days during our time in Canggu. At first glance, the property seems stunning â the beautiful bungalow-style villas are undeniably a highlight. Unfortunately, that is where the positive aspects of our stay end.
Right after check-in, we decided to inspect the bedding, pillows, and mattress for cleanliness and insects. Within 10 minutes, we had to report to the manager that the mattress and pillows were stained yellow, and one of the pillows had black bugs on it. The manager brushed off the issue, claiming that insects are âunderstandableâ because weâre on Bali, and the yellow pillows are ânormalâ and unlikely to be replaced. After much discussion, clean bedding was finally provided â the only good thing about this situation.
The room itself was far from clean. I encourage future guests to check under the bed â it was filthy, with dirt and bugs everywhere, which clearly indicates neglect in maintaining hygiene.
The worst part, however, came later. On the evening of December 22, 2024, we experienced food poisoning. While we generally avoid blaming specific establishments for such incidents, the circumstances made it difficult to ignore. That day, before the doctor arrived for a house call, I went to ask the security guard for a trash bag. It was then that I saw a large rat walking through the hotelâs open kitchen. I pointed it out to the security guard, who acknowledged it and said he would âtake care of it later.â This sight left me 100% convinced that our food poisoning was linked to the meals we had at the property, either on the day of December 22 or the day before.
If anyone doubts my account regarding the rat, I encourage you to ask the security guard who was on duty that day. He was fully aware of the situation and admitted he would address it later.
Itâs disheartening to write such a negative review, but I cannot overlook these experiences. The property may try to refute this review, but my account is honest and factual. I urge future guests to think twice before booking a stay at this place.
Edit:
The stains were caused by insects, and the manager herself said this to another employeeâthatâs the first point. Secondly, we asked to extend our stay by one or two hours, and the manager replied that it was not possible. Therefore, your response is...
   Read moreDe voyage à Bali avec mon copain, nous devions rester une semaine chez Maylie Bali Villa mais nous y sommes finalement restés 2 mois. Notre séjour a dépassé toutes nos attentes.
SituĂ©e idĂ©alement dans Canggu, Maylie Bali Villa est Ă seulement 5 minutes en scooter des premiĂšres bonnes adresses pour se restaurer Ă Pererenan et Ă 10 minutes des plages principales Eco Beach et Batu Bolong. Un parfait Ă©quilibre entre agitation, animation et tranquillitĂ©. Quel plaisir de rentrer chez soi le soir dans ce havre de paix avec les bruits de la nature qui nous entoure. De plus, lâemplacement de la villa est idĂ©al pour rejoindre facilement Ubud et ses riziĂšres ou pour aller dans le nord vers Amed, le Mont Batur et Lovina. DĂ©paysement assurĂ©!
Nous avons sĂ©journĂ© au sein dâune des trois suites parentales de Maylie Bali Villa, qui nâest autre que la villa dâun couple dâexpatriĂ©s français, Cathy et Alain. On nous a proposĂ© cette alternative de logement car tous les cottages de Maylie Bali Bungalows Ă©taient occupĂ©s Ă notre arrivĂ©e et cela nâa pas Ă©tĂ© pour nous dĂ©plaire ! La chambre Ă©tait Ă©quipĂ©e dâun espace de travail, dâun grand dressing et surtout dâune superbe salle de bain extĂ©rieure (le rĂȘve Ă Bali!).
Cathy et Alain nous ont chaleureusement accueilli chez eux et nous avons eu le droit Ă un verre de bienvenue. Nous ne pouvons encore que les remercier pour leur gentillesse, bienveillance et pour tous les conseils quâils nous ont apportĂ©s durant notre sĂ©jour : aussi bien concernant notre sĂ©curitĂ© sur les routes, le covid Ă Bali, que pour nous donner des bonnes adresses de restaurants ou dâhĂŽtels oĂč sĂ©journer lors de nos escapades sur lâĂźle des dieux. De plus, Maylie Bali Villa propose un service de transfert vers et depuis lâaĂ©roport, la location de scooters mais aussi des activitĂ©s et prestations telles que des massages balinais ou des excursions Ă la journĂ©e en scooter pour dĂ©couvrir des coins de lâĂźle encore prĂ©servĂ©s du tourisme de masse. A faire sans hĂ©sitation ! Par ailleurs, le petit dĂ©jeuner y est dĂ©licieux !
Pour finir, le staff qui travaille aussi bien Ă Maylie Bali Villa quâĂ Maylie Bali Bungalows Ă©tait adorable, serviable et professionnel ! Merci Budi et Desi !
En bref, nous avons adoré notre séjour chez Maylie Bali Villa, aussi bien pour sa situation géographique, pour ses équipements, que pour le staff et les propriétaires avec qui nous nous sommes trÚs bien entendus.
Nous espérons déjà pouvoir revenir...
   Read moreAHHH Maylie Bali Villa & Bungalows, such a great place to stay at! We stayed here for 2 weeks and would come back in a heartbeat! The location is perfect, 5 minutes away from the husstle and bustle of cangguâs main streets by bike (we once walked it from echo beach although it was a good walking session) i dont understand why some comments are defamotory, they should have 5 solid stars! They offer bike rental directly, the staff is carefull and attentive but not intrusive, they offer massage in their massage hut, the pool isnt big but there are only 4 rooms and a bigger bungalow. The villa has its own private pool.. They also called our grab driver to come for us down the road for us not to carry our luggage up...
