            <span>Welcome to the world of Malicious Reviews! 
These &quot;guests&quot; stayed with us for a week and ran up a large and happy bar/food bill but when the moment of truth came to settle the bill it was made clear to us that if they didn&#039;t get at the very least a  %50 reduction it would have dire consequences for our, up till then, excellent reviews.  This review is the result. 

We weighed up long and hard how to answer this dreadful attack on our beloved home and business here in Bali or whether we should insist that Trip Advisor remove it completely - we have grounds enough as these &quot;guests&quot; accuse us of illegal activities (running an unlicensed villa - we are happy to provide proof of our extensive Indonesian Pondok Wisata licensing) and tax evasion (unfortunately we also have extensive proof of having paid lots and lots of taxes). 

In the end we&#039;ve decided to leave it as it is and add this explanation to warn everyone that all may not be as it seems with many bad reviews and that they are often a very untrue picture of the place you may choose to spend your holidays. 

Also we feel that in a strange way this terrible review full of lies and false accusations validates the truthfulness of all our other wonderful reviews. We hope you agree.</span>

            <span>You were lovely and thanks for the great and comprehensive review. Next time we redo the website I will be asking for your help. And the best of it is that we learned a few things too - I will be talking to our drivers about their prices, bank on it. We find the hardest thing most people have to get used to is letting the staff do things for them and not cleaning the rooms before the staff can do it - girly thing?

It was a real pleasure for all of us to meet and greet you and your lovely family. Most kids you see nowadays are stuck in front of a flatscreen of some sort and it was so good to see the kids really adventure around the villa meeting all the people and creatures of Bali and just have a wonderful time from sun up (they got up before the sun did most mornings!) until sundown with breaks for sightseeing, swimming and well earned naps in between. We had to revise down our ideas that travel is only meaningful for children approaching teenage because of them. 

You and your wife braved the roads of Bali in a rental and had a good experience and the freedom to go and do whatever your desires dictated. It was wise to occasionally take Made our driver for the longer trips to save up your energies for the kids and that all important sightseeing. The balance was correct. 

Please come and see us again when the civets have grown and are running free.
