        <p itemprop="description">We stayed here last month. It is a lovely villa in a quiet location from traffic. There is a school next door which can be noisy on the mornings but we didn't mind. Villa is as pictured. Lovely pool and the drinking water was a huge bonus. We had breakfast included in our stay. Wifi wasn't the best but not a huge issue. The only think is you are not a 2 minute walk to the beach. It's more like 8 minutes and to get to the nice part of the back is a bit further down than that. We were greeted by a staff member on arrival who showed us around and gave us some general information. Showed us where the safes were for our personal belongings and not to take the key with us. On our third day at the villa we went to take money from the safe to exchange. Both girls using the safes myself included had money missing. $100 from one and $250 from the other. 
We spoke to the staff there and the response was 'I don't know'. I email the owner to be told that Bali is the type of place you lose track of your spending in. This was the first money we exchange from the airport so we're well aware of how much we had. He asked if we had used the codes on the safe. We were not given instructions on that from the staff or in the manual provided. Funnily enough after that. They never came into the villa to cook us breakfast anymore and stopped greeting is when we arrived or left. The villa is beautiful, but this defiantly put a downer on the trip and the poor attitude from the owner didn't help. Trusted staff or not, there was only one other person with a key for those safes.</p>

            <span>Thank you Michele for your input, this is the first time anyone has had a bad thing to say about Villa 1, Maybe we took it for granted that if a key pad safe was provided people would use it. I now tell all arriving guests to make sure they use there own code on each safe they use.
The bad attitude you got from me is because the day I received your email I had just got out of Hospital after having a Heart Attack and had a mountain of Emails I had to answer. I go back in tomorrow for another operation. I know this is no excuse for my blunt Email but I hope it helps you understand the situation.

        <p itemprop="description">Boom!! Luxury at its best!!
My family and I stayed at villa 1. Wow from the minute we walked in it felt like home, absolutely everything we required at our finger tips. 
I arrived very late with 2 small children alone. This was not a problem to all the friendly staff who greeted me with the owner. All my fears and worries vanished within minutes. 
My husband joined us a few days later and boom he was impressed just as much as I was. 
The photos really don't do this place justice!
The water from all taps is drinkable, with small child this was something very important to us.
The staff couldn't be faulted in any way. They took our laundry and cleaned everyday of our stay. The breakfast was bacon, eggs and toast every morning, cooked for us and pots sorted. 
Fantastic location for any one wanting to escape the noise and crazy roads of Bali however everything just a stone throw away.
Seriously this place was amazing, we loved it that much we have booked to return again in March with friends. 
Ross and frank have really thought of everything you require to enjoy a home from home holiday.
Just magic.
Not forgetting the beautiful staff. Everyday with a magic welcoming smile.</p>

            <span>Thank You Amy and Family,
Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, I was locked out of TripAdviser the whole time I was in Bali. Now back in Tasmania I can finally reply to your wonderful review and let you know it was our pleasure having such a great family stay with us, and hope we are there when you return in March.

        <p itemprop="description">My family and I travel to Bali several times a year, always staying in privately owned villas. Bamboo Moon was one of the best we've stayed at. Every detail is thought of and everything from shower heads to fans/air con to door locks is in excellent working order. The villa is located next to a primary school so you may hear some singing and hear the chatter of children some mornings. 

The photos do not do this villa justice! The space is large, bright and airy with a comfortable lounge inside and plenty of seating space outside overlooking the the pool. Each room has a beautiful decorative chandelier, very comfortable beds, lovely linen, bath and pool towels,  double basin sinks (I think in all three bathrooms - or at least mine did), a large dining table - perfect for a meal in the villa... I could go on and on! 

The kitchen had amenities such as a blender, microwave and a water/ice fridge. We found ourselves using the GoJek app and ordering food to the villa instead of eating out most nights. Highly recommend Soul in a Bowl and pizzas from Massimos. The purified water is such a unique and excellent facility. 

The villa has a massage table so you have have in-villa massages organised. My favourite travelling masseurs came from Peni Weni Salon.  I am a regular at Leha Leha and love their 90 minute Balinese massage. (Note: Leha Leha over pick up and drop off to and from your villa). 

The house is cleaned daily by Wayan and Zaini. They are both very efficient and flexible with their start time. Wayan prepares breakfast and each morning we indulged in bacon, eggs and toast. Ketut and Zaini live on site and are able to assist should any issues arise. (BTW - if the cable TV remote freezes - turn the TV off from the wall switch. Tech support 101, right? :) ). We stayed for a week and during that time the pool was cleaned and the area fogged. 

To be balanced in my review, my one gripe was that I needed to ask for the sheets and towels to be changed midway through the trip. I like to be environmentally friendly and not wash things unnecessarily (which may be the policy at Bamboo Moon) but they started to pong and needed to be changed. I also had to request our washing to be taken to the laundry a few times before it was done. Putting this one down to miscommunication. 

The beach is a 5 minute walk down the road and close to the Sweet Magnolia Cafe - a great place to sit, enjoy a drink and beach watch.  The villa is also very close to the Power of Now Oasis Yoga School (next to the Mecure). We did a private sunrise yoga and meditation class one morning which I highly recommend. They also have regular group classes available. The Mecure has a Sunday Market the last Sunday of each month - there was some great live music and food stalls. 

I would definitely recommend staying at Bamboo Moon Villa. While the location is a bit of a walk from the main drag/clump or restaurants, it's an easy walk. Being off the busy streets also means that you will rarely hear traffic. Having stayed on a busy section of Bumi Ayu, I can tell you this is more important than  you would think. For those with small kids or weary legs, ordering a taxi/driver is very easy so it's definitely not something that should put you off staying in this spectacular villa!</p>

            <span>Thank You Anne and Family,
I
t makes all the work and effort and every little detail we went to worth while when we hear that people enjoyed and appreciated what we have created.
The last 3 months took us by surprise, we don't know how the word got around so fast, but all 3 Villas were packed full for the whole time, I don't Know how our beautiful staff managed and kept smiling,  Thank God we have now found more Staff, that will make the place run more smoothly.
We all look forward to seeing you again on your next trip to Bali.
