One of the cheaper options in Berawa Beach, you get what you pay for! We opted for the two bedroom townhouse and stayed for a week. PROS: within a couple minutes to central Canggu AKA best shopping and eating Super kind staff and very helpful when needed CONS: RATS EVERYWHERE, on the roof, around the property and even living inside our room under the kitchen/behind the fridge Resturant breakfast is only 4 things to choose from, can be a bit repetitive and boring.. also they are barely ever open for lunch, chef is never on the property None of the doors in our room closed properly, AC was weak, bathrooms do not have proper air circulation and are so humid you can’t stand to be inside them.. overall the rooms need a MAJOR renovations 1/2 full kitchen but they don’t even provide napkins or pot/pans or even ice trays

run away.
DO NOT BOOK. Absolutely appalling. The room was covered in mould, I'm talking the kitchen walls, the bathroom, bedroom and even the pillows. I have never been so disgusted with a state of accommodation. I spoke with the hotel "staff" to see if the anything could be done about the cleanliness of the bathroom and bedroom. I was told they could just change the pillows and nothing else. They were very rude. I then said I would like to cancel the rest of my stay and asked for a refund, I was flat out refused. I left anyway. There are much nicer places to stay in this area.

Needs a refresh
Sadly this hotel is getting a bit long in the tooth and is in need of a spruce up since I was there 18 months prior it appeared things had deteriorated. Service was still average but staff friendly. Not much nearby but easy to get around by scooter or taxi.

Good, affordable, peaceful accommodation.
Other than the key snapping off in the door lock and the hotel staff not knowing what to do(they actually broke the key, as it was stuck) an "Engineer" had to be called the following day to fix it...this is a really nice place, little bit out of town and away from the rat race. Clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff. Included breakfast could have included more than just juice eggs and coffee. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent value for money in a very nice area of Canggu. The staff couldn't be more efficient ! They did everything to make us comfortable , letting us using their phone when we needed for some local calls, letting us using the room until late pm very far from check out time and providing extra towels and toiletries !

Little surf town
Great night in Canggu, we popped in late after spending a whole day on the bike. Friendly staff and beautiful room. Good night sleep, very comfortable beds. Bathrooms were modern and had great water pressure. Kitchenette was also very modern. We were not far from the beach or from Seminyak. Pool was very well maintained, would stay there again

Had a great time there.
Excellent if you want something different from the usual 4 star hotels. this is cheap and cheerful no frills. Basic breakfast, no restaurant but was really pleasantly surprised with our stay. Miles from the main tourist areas but within $5-8 taxi fares. there were 2 nice warungs within a 5 minute walk. The Cafe Rafara was really good with Indonesian food and good company from Raf and his family. Raf has has his own Rock Band and shop next to the cafe. If you wanted posh nosh you can't go past the Bali Equestrian Centre less than 5 minute walk which is 5 star luxury with Bar,Restaurant Pool etc. We would stay at Barawa beach residence again without hesitation. Thank you guys for making our stay memorable.

Homely feeling
Although the hotel was a little out of the way, the friendly and helpful staff makes up for it. It's good value for money for those who are planning to stay in Bali for longer period of time and wants to return to a home away from home. The breakfast was simple but delicious . However it will be good to offer more variety.

Can't get friendlier service
Berawa Beach Residence met most of our needs. The staff were lovely and helpful and couldn't have been friendlier, especially the manager, Gusti, who organized a last minute driver (his brother-in-law, Gede - we highly recommend him) for us twice. Our 2-story "suite" was simply decorated but comfortable, with bottled water, working fridge & air con, comfortable beds, and 2 bathrooms with showers. Our 12-year-old had her own room but struggled a bit with the heat because it had no windows and the air con was outside her room in the living room; she ended up sleeping on the couch. The outdoor breakfast area was cool and lovely, and the pool was small but adequate for kids. There was even a small exercise room with treadmill and cross-trainer, which we didn't use. The location was quiet and hidden away in the countryside (with cows and roosters), unfortunately nowhere near the beach. We wanted to be somewhere quiet, however, it was very difficult (and dangerous due to narrow roads and traffic) to walk anywhere, which was a disappointment since we like to explore places on foot. Visitors without kids who are game can rent mopeds for next to nothing to get around. Via taxi, it is a short 20- to 30-min trip to the temple Tanah Lot in the north, and to Seminyak in the south. We would recommend staying here, especially for those who have been to Bali before and are seeking a quiet location away from the usual hustle and bustle.

peace and quiet, lovely staff, a bit remote
Stayed at Berawa for 6 nights and we found the location a little remote. Nearly every taxi driver got lost trying to find it, so make sure you take a map from reception before you get into a taxi and have the address handy. Still only $5 in a taxi to Seminyak, about 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in bad traffic. We didn't bother going to Kuta it would be too far away and traffic would be too bad. Ideal if you have a scooter though. The staff were so nice and very helpful. I seen a lot of complaints about breakfast before we went but it was more than sufficient, the banana pancakes (available upon request) were delicious! Even though they didn't have room service, they had menu's for local restaurants who they would order food through and it would get delivered. Our room was spacious and air-con super cold. Pool was small but never busy so was fine. Overall I really enjoyed the hotel and I would recommend to people if they are looking for a more quieter area to stay in.

Worth staying out of hustle and bustle
Stayed in the two bedroom townhouse, very roomy, better than expected. Little further out from main strip, but worth it for price and peaceful location. Need a car or bike to venture around. All staff lovely and helpful, anything we asked for they provided.

Quiet and nice place.
Very friendly staff. Everything was available on request. Especially on our last day we req to have a late check out as our flight was at 11 pm and the manager gave us a seperate room without any extra charge. Allowed us to stay until 8 pm. Also provided a scooter on hire with a very low price of just 50,000 Idr. This was half the price than one available in the market. It is bit isolated but if looking for peace this is the area for you. If hired scooter life is easier in Bali. Had lot of fun.

comfortable stayex
The staff are friendly and the breakfast was ok with eggs offered as standard with just one choice of cereal and one choice of fresh fruit. The hotel is miles from anywhere and we were promised a free pickup fro the airport but this didn't happen and we had to take a taxi but we were reimbursed after several days of chasing them for the money. An idea of local restaurants would have been helpful. My biggest problem was there is only a mirror in the bathroom with no electric point so that I couldn't use my hair dryer without the use of an extension cable.

You pay for what you get.
The kitchen and general staff were very nice and helpful however every time we asked for something it was not provided immediately. I had asked for an extra sheet and pillow for our fold out sofa bed and it took 3 days to be provided, this probably should have been in the room anyway. We ran out of soap and I asked for 2 days for more soap before being provided. Also all rooms were supposed to come with coffee and tea making facilities as stated in brochure however I was told that I could only get these with the buffet breakfast starting at 7am each morning, this was a major disappointment. Also 3 kitchen cupboard doors just fell off their hinges open first opening and these were not repaired during our 12 night stay. There were other little things like a tin of open paint being left in the villa from recent painting which smelt and lightglobes not replaced. I also had t ask for fresh towels on a couple of occassions. The villa itself was very clean and tidy and unlike previous reviews I read, I found the breakfast more than sufficient with eggs, omelettes, pancakes etc all provided upon request. The mattresses are very hard and the hot water is a problem taking ages to heat up when showering and if both showers were used at the same time there was barely any pressure. The villa building itself is also remote and a good 15 to 20 minute walk to the beach with nothing really close by tgher than a cafe and spa. For a cheap stay it was good you pay for what you get.

A Peaceful Oasis away from the hustle and bustle
Fantastic place to stay, we have two teenage kids and our villa was roomy enough for us to escape from them at night for some peace and quiet. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. They helped organize our day trips we were interested in and plenty more. We absolutely fell in love with the people there, very friendly and fantastic atmosphere. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta for somewhere a lot quieter but still central enough to everything then this is a the place to go. We can't wait to get back there.

A quiet stay for one
The hotel itself is nice, they did not offer everything in the room information booklet like kettle for tea and coffee but would make a coffee if asked. It is a fifteen minute walk to the beach and if staying more than a couple of days you would want to hire a motor bike. On the other hand I liked the quiet and the little village and also swimming in the sea which few, other than surfers' did. The staff were very friendly and there is a lovely spa around the corner and some very cheap delicious food available close by which the hotel will bring in for you if you don't want to go there at night.

Large room with kitchen, good for longterm!
We booked the room for 2 days, and ended up staying 6. It was good value for the money. They got at least 4 different type of rooms, and we stayed at the larger one with 2 kids. You probably need a motorbike or similar, since it's about 15-20 min walk to the beach (we did not have that). We ate a lot of food at the local warungs, and breakfast is served at the hotel. When you drive in to the area, it looks really bad, but when you arrive the hotel is really clean and good. Even if the area is a bit dirty and shabby, it feels really safe to walk anywhere.

An up and coming area. Don't let the duet track road put you off. The residence is very stylish and tastefully done. The bedrooms are vey spacious and comfortable with bedroom and living area.The staff are super friendly. You will benefit from having your own transport as it is about 20 minutes from seminyak. The residence can provide a shuttle service from the airport but mopeds are a great way to get around. The beaches around Berawa and canggu are big surfer spots and there are lots of cool cafes, restaurants and new developments popping up. I really can not fault this place. My husband and I were on honeymoon and this was our first stop on a trip round Indonesia. Loved it.
