Our guarantees of best price and quality
How do you select the villas in Bali?
There are plenty of holiday rentals around in Bali, but not all of them are as beautiful as they look on photos. That is why we send out our site inspectors into the field to find the best villas. We check out each and every holiday rental personally and only the best ones are taken into our villa collections. The villas have to live up to our high standards and expectations, they have to be well-maintained and the location has to be good. You may have booked a gorgeous villa but what if there is a construction site just next door? We make sure things like this don’t happen. Once a villa has made it through the pre-selection and has been listed on our website, we still do regular site inspections to make sure the villa is well-maintained.
Do you really inspect all villas?
Yes, we do! Even after the villa has been listed on our website, we still do regular site inspections to see if the villa still lives up to our standards. We do not compromise on villa quality!
How do you guarantee the quality?
Our team of villa specialists will go out to inspect each and every villa with their own eyes to see if it matches our quality requirements before taking the villa into our listings. Once the villa is quality-approved and added to our villa collection, we still do regular site inspections to check on the maintenance of the villa. To guarantee the quality of the villas, we work with a checklist. Only the villas that pass all the points on this list make it into our exclusive villa collection. Also, check out our cleaning guidelines here
How can you guarantee the best price?
We work closely together with the owners and therefore we can guarantee the best price for all of our holiday rentals. We like to put words into action and therefore, should you find the same villa offered at a cheaper rate than our website, we will refund the difference.
How come there is no service fee? How do you make money?
We get paid directly by the villa owners. It is a simple concept; we bring customers to their villas by listing their villas on our website and the villa owner pays us for this service. This means no booking fee for you!
Booking process
Can I get some help to decide on my holiday and villa?
Most certainly you can! To find inspiration for things to do and where to stay, you can read our dedicated travel blog. In need of more personal guidance and advice? Our team of villa consultants and concierges are stand-by and ready to help out 7 days a week.

All is possible and nothing is too much to ask. You can be sure of excellent services!
I am not ready to confirm, can I simply enquire and place an option on a villa?
Yes, you can place an option on a villa for free. There are no credit card details required. This option will give you 3 days to think it over before you decide.
