We come here to escape from all the stress and craziness from the city we live in. And it our first time to come to Bali with 2 young kids. We are so glad to have picked Villa Mako. Very relaxing, Very welcoming. We have been very well taken care of by Ngurah, Ani and Gede. They are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble. They love kids! It is a relaxing holiday that we have very much looking forward to and needed. So thank you! We will remember this place!

Thank you for an amazing stay in villa Mako. All the staff were so kind and thoughtful. Ani's cooking was lovely. We love the traditional design of the villa, the breeze blowing through the reception and the sound of water by the lovely pool. We love Canggu and our favorite restaurants are GI , Batu Bolong, The Lawn, Ti, La Brisa. Surfing with Sunny and Moga was also Brilliant. Hope to see you again.

Brett R, Indonesia, 23-May-2019 - 28-May-2019

Had an amazing stay at Villa Mako! Absolutely beautiful place in beautiful surroundings overlooking the rice paddies and amongst the temple, shrines and local people. The place is immaculate and kept spotlessly clean. The staff are so lovely and really friendly who will go above and beyond to accommodate your stay. The food was fantastic and great to sample some Balinese and Indonesian cooking – some of the best we’ve had on our travels. The pool was also amazing – truly relaxing and peaceful stay. Thank you to Adi and all the staff.

Ralph V, Netherlands, 04-May-2019 - 18-May-2019

We have had a great holiday in Villa Mako. Many thanks to all the staff for their kindness and smiles. Our one and half years old daughter loved the swimming pool, the fishes and the toys here. We will definitely come back to your beautiful villa.

Thank you everyone at Villa Mako for a wonderful Easter break. We have 2 girls who have enjoyed the pool, feeding the fish and all the delicious food. The staff have been amazing, thank you for all your hard work. The villa is so charming and we love "Canggu" town. We hope to be back soon.

Elisabeth T, Singapore, 03-Feb-2019 - 07-Feb-2019

Alex B, Netherlands, 14-Dec-2018 - 21-Dec-2018

This was over our 8th visit to Bali but the first time we did not leave our villa for a whole week - simply because there was no need to leave it. The perfect service, the prefect food, the perfect pool and the perfect living room with the perfect view. The loving care for us and our children was simply heartwarming. Sincerely hope to stay here again in the near future.

Alistair S, Australia, 14-Nov-2018 - 25-Nov-2018

Thank you so very much Adi, Ani, Gde and Nyoman for making our stay at Villa Mako so fantastic. The villa is a calm serene environment to relax in and the pool is just the PERFECT temperature - we spent oodles of time swimming and playing games. But for us it was the staff that could not be faulted. They were professional, caring and always soo helpful. Ani your cooking was out of this world. The best food we ate during our stay was at the villa. If only we could take you home with us. It was a great fun hiking Mount Batur, cycling to the beach and exploring rice terrraces and temples. It has been an unforgettable trip. Many thanks again.

Sabina K, Indonesia, 13-Oct-2018 - 04-Nov-2018

Thank you so much for our amazing holiday. It has been a home to us away from home. Ani's food was divine and all lovely. Gede and Nyoman were amazing, we felt very much cared for during our stay. Caring for our 4 month old son Sam during meals was wonderful for him and us. Adi, thank for all your help in organizing, all was super smooth. We hope to be back.

Virginia T, China, 06-Oct-2018 - 08-Oct-2018

Dear future visitor, we loved this place, paradise on earth. The staff were amazing, food was great and the energy was amazing, thank you.

Raymond P, Australia, 23-Sep-2018 - 06-Oct-2018

Wow, the villa speaks for itself, so beautiful. Adi, Annie, Gede and Nyoman were amazing. They made every effort to make our stay a wonderful experience. Annie's Indonesian fare was better than anything we had outside, thank you Annie. It is difficult to put into words just how friendly, helpful, and caring the staff are. We stayed for my son's wedding and had many guests over the time, nothing was too difficult for any of the staff. I have never had more obliging service. Just wonderful, would stay again anytime. Terima kasih.

Andrew M, Australia, 27-Aug-2018 - 06-Sep-2018

We had an amazing stay here for 10 nights at Villa Mako. Our 3 children loved everything about the villa. The staff have been fantastic, Ani especially looking after me when I was sick. Thank you Ani, hoping we can come back soon. Thank you so much for being really kind and caring to us. We appreciate all the help that you have given us, we LOVED our rooms too. We hope can stay again soon. The food you provided us with tasted AMAZING and it was well cooked.

Tracey G, Australia, 24-Aug-2018 - 27-Aug-2018

A fantastic weekend at Villa Mako, celebrating our beautiful friends 50th birthday! So much special effort by the villa staff to make it the most amazing holiday. We will always remember our magical Bali escape and hope that one day we will return. Thank you.

Rosemary M, Hong Kong, 14-Jul-2018 - 21-Jul-2018

What an amazing villa and what a wonderful stay. We didn’t think it could get better than our first visit but we were delighted to be proven wrong. The staff were attentive, warm and marvelous with our four little children. The food delicious and the pool the ideal place to relax and soak in the sunshine. Thank you for creating such a superb haven and allowing us to share it. We will be back (again)!

Ben C, Australia, 03-Jul-2018 - 11-Jul-2018

Suksma! As a family of six, four teenage daughters, mum and dad, we have a greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Mako. Adi and the staff are superb - always smiling, courteous and responsive. The villa itself has become our destination with an awesome pool, cool breezes, cultural ambience and smiling staff. Forget the "MACET", hang out at the pool or make the quick easy trip to the "PANTAI" (beach). Food is "ENAK SEKALI" and I am more than a little heavier now.

Marie W, Australia, 07-Jun-2018 - 13-Jun-2018

We're very sad to be leaving this paradise. We've had the most relaxing and wonderful time. We have felt very welcome and looked after. Our food has been delicious and the service has been outstanding. We'll be back.

Andrea F, Indonesia, 27-Apr-2018 - 02-May-2018

Our stay at Villa Mako was beautiful! Thanks so much to all the staff for their help and availability but mostly for their smile. Hoping to come back soon!

Deja K, Indonesia, 20-Apr-2018 - 21-Apr-2018

Sincerest thanks to the Scotts and the staff, we appreciate your hospitality and will always remember our stay at Villa Mako! The beautiful terrazzo bathrooms and the sapphire swimming pool were our favorite parts. Experience wise, we enjoyed all your books about Indonesian arts and kid's stories. A welcome surprise. May this home be a treasure to you for a long time. Thanks again for sharing it.

Desmond F, Singapore, 04-Apr-2018 - 08-Apr-2018

Alistair S, Australia, 27-Feb-2018 - 02-Mar-2018

Spent a very restful 3 nights here at Villa Mako, we have absolutely loved every minute of our stay, from the outstanding staff to the excellent pool area, the comfy beds and the star dining. It made our honeymoon trip to Bali incredibly special and we can’t wait to come back one day (perhaps on anniversary). Thank you to everyone who looked after us so well like we were family. Very sad to be leaving today, hope to see you again soon.

Segolene K, Hong Kong, 11-Feb-2018 - 23-Feb-2018

Villa Mako is the best! Our time here has been awesome and we really enjoyed it, thank you! It was a fantastic discovery to come to Bali and especially to find Villa Mako - a hidden spot for peace, rest and to enjoy the beautiful nature.

Ketut is an amazing chef and the meals were to die for! Gede and Kadek were always around to help with anything, always smiling they were an absolute treasure to have around! I will miss this place so much! Thank you Villa Mako for my amazing experience in Bali.

Rahul B, Singapore, 02-Feb-2017 - 05-Feb-2017

Thank you to Pak Gede and the wonderful manager of Villa Mako who made our stay super comfortable. We literally didn't have to lift a finger and the whole family had time to bond. Along with Pak Made (their recommended driver) our stay in Bali was one of the best we have had. We will be back as soon as we can. Pls make sure you try their ayam betutu!

Thank you very much for making our week at Villa Mako such a pleasurable and memorably stay . While the villa, pool and grounds are absolutely beautiful, the most special part at our holiday was the friendly and warm and attentive service from the staff. We have eaten like royalty and been treated like friends. We could never ask for more. Thank you again.

Olga B, Indonesia, 16-Sep-2016 - 19-Sep-2016

During our 4 days stay in Villa Mako we were so impressed by the amazing house and surroundings but most of all by the fantastic staff. Gede, Kadek & ketut really made us feel welcome and at home. They went to great length to pamper us and made sure we had a beautiful stay in Bali. Definitely recommend Villa Mako for a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much.

Charlotte C, United Kingdom, 04-Sep-2016 - 15-Sep-2016

We have had a fantastic stay here in Villa Mako.

We love Bali, the people, surrounding, food and weather. We will try stay here in Villa Mako again.

Victoria G, Singapore, 19-Nov-2015 - 23-Nov-2015

It was a lovely villa and we could not have been looked after better. Amazing, polite, helpful and sweet natured staff. Every one at Villa Mako was delightful. The food was great and they were so gentle with our children. Nothing was too much trouble. Great pool setting too. Enormous rooms and the kids twin room was lovely too. If anything, it would benefit from having a driver to allow for more spntaneity.

Neil H, Singapore, 06-Nov-2015 - 11-Nov-2015

Comport and cleanliness were good, staff were good, food were good, in house service and facility pool is good, internet accessibility is satisfactory, all staff made us feel welcome and comfortable.

Susan P, Australia, 24-Jul-2015 - 02-Aug-2015

Staff were lovely and very helpful. The food was delicious. The villa beautifully decorated and very comfortable.

Claire R, Indonesia, 30-Jun-2015 - 04-Jul-2015

What a gorgeous villa. The website photos do not do it justice! Beautifully decorated with a collection of Indonesian antique and new works, all the mod-cons and so spacious. It was beyond our expectations. Views from back patio to rice fields were added bonus. Staff were lovely, speak very good English and did their best to make us comfortable. So much better than the most stylish of hotels in Bali. Was such a treat. I hope we will be back.

Xiao Qing Guo, China, 14-Apr-2015 - 17-Apr-2015

Very nice villa, and good staff.

April P, Indonesia, 19-Feb-2015 - 20-Feb-2015

Beautiful villa with old world character and charm. Very large swimming pool great for the kids with jungle and rice field views. We took the villa bikes out for a ride which was a great way to explore the neighborhood.

Kate H, Australia, 21-Apr-2013 - 26-Apr-2013

Such a fantastic Villa! The staff made our stay better than we could imagine. Ketut (our chef) made such delicious meals and the non-stop snacks and drinks were such a luxury. Wayan (housekeeping) is such a valuable asset - on top of all his many duties he still found time to take our son for garden walks and feed the fish, etc. All the staff were just beyond wonderful! The villa itself is beautiful and we spent endless hours relaxing in the pool and watching the gorgeous butterflies, squirrels and birds in the garden. We look forward to visiting again.

Jennifer Ting, Hong Kong, 30-Mar-2013 - 03-Apr-2013

This is our 2nd stay at Villa Mako and we love it even more than the 1st time. Made, Ketut, Kadek and Wayan welcomed us like family and my 2 young children (ages 4 and 2) were very attached to them, calling them "Uncle" and "Auntie" within the first day. Ketut is an amazing cook and we wish we stayed longer so we could enjoy her food! Made is extremely helpful with any arrangements. Kadek and Wayan ensured that all our needs were attended to while at the Villa. The swimming pool is our favourite because it has a large shallow area perfect for the kids. They also love feeding the koi every morning.

-F, Hong Kong, 28-Mar-2013 - 30-Mar-2013

Villa Mako is a lovely charming villa with a great pool. The staff are super friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I loved sitting on the balcony of the master bedroom and looking out over the paddyfields.

BJ, Australia, 17-Jan-2013 - 31-Jan-2013

Villa Mako is a relaxed 3 bedroom home with a delightful pool and garden in a small village away from the hustle and bustle of Seminyak. The increased Bali traffic can be a problem if you just want to "pop" into the shops or restaurants of the more built up areas. Consequently, it is better to eat locally and chill out at the house for a more restful holiday. The staff are lovely ...

CS, Australia, 05-Jan-2013 - 08-Jan-2013

Really lovely to be pampered by the caring staff, had a really wonderful few days in Bali.

Mal Jago, Australia, 25-Aug-2012 - 02-Sep-2012

We loved our stay at Villa Mako, this is someone's home not a Villa for rent and it shows. We have two small children aged 3 & 5 and this was the only Villa that had a pool area that had a fence for safety. The house is large and has many areas to sit and relax. There is a separate TV room with books and DVD's which my girls loved. The staff are friendly but give you space and privacy. The Chef is amazing and the food we ate was as good as any top restaurant. We loved the location away from the distraction of shopping and people. The grounds are surrounded by lush gardens and trees with rice paddies in the distant.

KB, Japan, 21-Mar-2012 - 26-Mar-2012

We loved our stay at Villa Mako. The food was wonderful and the staff was very attentive. Our kids loved the pool and wandering down to the river. All of the children's toys and DVDs were a nice bonus.

Thomas Booth, United States, 30-Apr-2011 - 13-May-2011

Villa Mako was a wonderful experience and a great value! The staff was kind and professional. We hope to return.

Bruce Dolle, Australia, 19-Mar-2011 - 02-Apr-2011

We had a wonderful stay, the Villa was wonderful the staff are fantastic, the cooking was wonderful catering to our spicy taste and the children's mild taste. The only negative was for the final 3 days we were unable to use the children's bathroom due to the kitchen waste coming up into the shower and flooding the bathroom. It was very unhygienic. The staff did their best the fix the problem but it may have needed some serious plumbing work it was disappointing, however it would not deter us from recommending Villa Mako.

Kristien Van Landschoot, Belgium, 03-Mar-2011 - 13-Mar-2011

We had a wonderfull stay at Villa Mako in March 2011. We stayed for about 10 dag. The meals prepared by the cook were very nice. Friendly staff. Quiet area, location for families is perfect. Big swimming pool. Very tidy . Absolutely no comment whatsoever. Would go back anytime.
