        <p itemprop="description">Having travelled to Bali a previous six times, I was very excited to stay at Vila Riva based purely on the location - just off Eat Street in Seminyak.  However, my excitement seemed to stop quite suddenly as the location advertised was no where near where it stated online.  On the 10 minute walk down a dodgy balinese ally-way to reach our vila we had time to picture just what this little pocket of paradise had in store for us.  Needless to say the 10 minute walk was probably the most enjoyable part of staying at this vila, because it was definitely not what we were expecting.   After a maintenance man came and failed to fix a broken noisy toilet we decided to try and concentrate on finding a positive that Vila Riva had.  We all struggled.  Especially after we all attempted to have a shower as the water smelt disgusting.  If it was not sewerage water I would be very surprised.  As we were all very disappointed with what Vila Riva had delivered, we decided that contacting Julien (Villa owner) and expressing our dissatisfaction and concerns would be the best option.  To cut a long story short, Julien was a rude man who would not know what customer service was if it bit him on the bum.  I would strongly recommend to anyone even considering staying at Vila Riva to look elsewhere, because  your holiday in Bali should be remembered as a good one.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">One of the worst experiences of my life!
I have been to Bali several times and have never experienced such a horrible Villa.
From when we arrived the toilet in my room didnt work. 
When we told the staff they "attempted" to fix it but were not able to and really didnt seem like they cared. 
Then when I tried to shower the water was revolting and we were clearly showering in sewage water. There wasnt one working shower in the whole Villa!
When we complained, we dealt with an arrogant manager who refused to give us a full refund, even though there were workers digging up the pipes whilst we were there!!!

We had no option but to leave and seek different accomodation. My next 5 days in Bali were hell as I got incredibly sick from showering in repulsive water.

Do yourself a favour and book any other Villa but this one!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">This was our 10th trip to Bali and we chose Villa Riva based on location due to it being a special occasion and our family was staying nearby its "suggested" location. When we arrived at Villa Riva it was not where it said it would be on the map online and one of the toilets was broken which they attempted and failed to fix, we were unhappy with all of this after paying over $400 a night. We spoke to the owner (Julien) who was very unhelpful and blamed Trip Advisor for the mistake on the map and continued to mention that he had never received complaints in the past, as if that made a difference to us. We already had scooters so settled that we would just have to ride them everywhere. BUT...that night it rained very heavily and in the morning we all had showers and it smelt that bad we all gagged!! 
There was a loud noise coming from under one of the rooms and the guys in the room couldn't sleep all night. We just could not stay there at all, we contacted the owner again and he was even worse this time around. It turned out the water pump was broken so we came back to the villa after breakfast to find the ground dug up and guys welding a pipe. We left the villa that day due to it being unhygienic and uncomfortable. We understand that the weather or broken pump are not in anyone's control, although the way the owner handled the situation was appalling. We stayed in the villa 1 of 4 nights booked and paid for and he is still refusing to refund all 3 nights and only refund 2 nights and he said he will not discuss any further. 
There was physically no way we could have continued our stay there and in business you need to cut your losses, which this nasty man clearly does not understand.</p>

            <span>waouh !! I think everyone can make his own opinion reading all other reviews of the property. This guest made a mistake in booking this villa thinking it was in a different place, then on arrival asked for a refund and started complaining about everything in order to get his refund.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">I stayed in Villa June with my adult children because of its central location and the four bedrooms.  I was very happy with my choice. They even pick you up from the airport.

You receive breakfast on the first morning but after that you can pay the staff to cook you further breakfasts or visit restaurants nearby. One morning we paid for a traditional Indonesian breakfast for six at a cost of $30AUD.

The two units near the kitchen have the best air conditioning.  The thatched villa was very comfortable but there were no pillow cases on the pillows. The wooden upstairs villa is prone to mosquito as the building is not sealed. It is a beautiful villa but bring a mosquito net if you are prone to being bitten.

Kitchen area was awesome and the pool very refreshing.

Positives - Spacious, comfortable friendly staff and owner Julien. 
Negatives - no pillow slips and took two days to fix toilet

I would thoroughly recommend you stay here and I would stay again.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">I was in Bali for 3 weeks and stayed in 3 different Villas. The location, service and safety was excellent ( although you dont think that when the driver is driving down a long winding alley that you think is never going to end !!!) It was exactly 5 mins walk to the main shopping/eating street. We really liked the palm trees over the pool to give some shade in the day if required. Plenty of sun/shade in the yard to suit all types. All service was carried out without a fuss. Julien was extremely helpful on many occasions. We will definitely come back and stay in a Villa  owed and operated by Julien.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We have just returned home from our 12 night stay at Villa Riva were we stayed with extended family and to be honest we were disappointed with  the villa.  All the bedrooms had really hard uncomfortable beds  and the sheets didn't fit and towels were very worn. With 8 of us staying there is only (one) small safe which is located in the kitchen so was quite tricky trying to put in everyone's passports money etc.  We had kids with us and when they got out of the pool the tiles and even the stepping stones are really slippery and we were forever telling them to be super careful. Main open lounge room gets very hot and the mozzies are everywhere. As breakfast wasn't included we did buy our own supplies and the  lovely housekeeper cooked for us.
Location was good but  the villa is located down a very long lane. We had noisy people in the villa next to us  but that's not the villas fault. I think the villa overall needs a bit of a update to fix  small details like no toilet roll holders or hooks in any of  the bathrooms.
After coming home one night we found 2 rats living behind the fridge ;-(</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed in Villa Riva for 5 fantastic nights.. Julien arranged for us to be picked up from our hotel and delivered to the gate of the villa. 
The villa is a 5 min walk to some of the best restaurants in Seminyak and only 10 mins and your drinking a cocktail at Ku De Ta.. 
Our teenage sons slept in joglo which they thought was the best thing about the holiday.. 
We stayed Villa Riva with another family with young children (6yrs & 3yrs). Having a bedroom just far enough away from the lounge and dining not to disturb the young children at night when the Bintang was tasting it's best was a real bonus.
We also had other family members stay in the adjoining villa Mareva  (same floor plan with door between yards)
The villa staff prepared breakfast every morning that was 1st class.. wake up have a swim.. step out of the pool and get handed a coffee.. sit down to bacon and eggs.. Perfect holiday.. 
Thank-you Julien for making our extended family holiday one to remember..
We have stayed in many villa's around Seminyak and other areas in Bali but this was the 1st time I had to arrange it for so many people (15).
Price, location and service.. everything you look for in holiday accommodation.
Good luck Julien I hope to see you again next year..</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Stayed at the Villa with my extended family on Nov.29 - Dec 2, 2014.  Located near the end of an alleyway (Jl. Kayu Aya gang Bugis, near Ize Seminyak), it's indeed within walking distance to shops and restaurants in Seminyak.  Too bad we didn't have a chance to walk to nearby beach.  Outside it has a garage (we parked our two rental cars there), and once you enter the villa it's very quiet with no road noise.  The villa has a private swimming pool (the water is lukewarm, but can get a bit cold after rain), it's clean and perfect for morning swims.  It also has 4 bedrooms (3 on ground floor and 1 on 1st floor), all equipped with private bathroom and A/C.  I think all bathroom comes with a showerhead (but water pressure is weak) and hot/cold water.  The bedrooms are located separately so privacy is OK.  An extra bed is available with a fee.

The living room is open air (equipped with a ceiling fan) and has a flat screen TV, DVD, and boombox.  When it rains you can lower the shades around the living room so room won't get wet.  It also has a kitchen with a coffee maker, stove, pans/plates etc, refrigerator, hot/cold water dispenser, etc.  Also available are Wi-Fi free of charge (speed and connection is quite good), plus a cellphone with a local number (with prepurchased credit for local calls) so you can order delivery services.

Every day a maid will come to clean up the bedrooms and the villa.  The owner, when contacted via Tripadvisor, responds quite fast.  I think you get 1x free airport transfer when booking the villa.  

What I like best:
-  Property is clean and looks well-maintained
-  Quiet villa (except when next-door neighbor gets too rowdy - maybe having a party?)
-  Private & clean swimming pool
-  Located within walking distance to restaurants and shops

What I like least:
-  Living room has no A/C (can get hot during the day)
-  Mosquitos in living room (bring your insect repellant)
-  Weak water pressure in the shower</p>

        <p itemprop="description">First of all the location is perfect.  Walking distance to shops and restaurants, yet very quiet when you want a break from it all. 

As we walked through the main door we discovered the beautiful courtyard with the swimming pool and garden. The 4 bedrooms are well distributed around the courtyard so each guest had their privacy when desired, yet we mainly gathered around the pool and living room (maximum chill spirit!). 

Bedrooms and bathrooms looked great and peaceful, very clean, A/C  in all rooms, wifi worked great.  

Staff was the nicest, owner very reliable and helpful. I strongly recommend staying there and will happily go back.</p>
