Reviews for Villa Bali Boutique Hotel
Review 1:I loved the young man at reception, he was really helpful and special. The bobotie spring rolls were divine too. The amenities are pretty awesome. Great, easy to find location. It all the little things that count, making it a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
Review 2:We were so surprised at the easy access from the N1, the pleasing looks of the hotel,the security,the interesting decorations,the pleasant staff ,everything one expects after the harsh journey from Cape Town,The thoughtfulness for a traveler in the bedroom.We did this journey for 20 years now and tried hotels, guest houses lodges with disappointment and sometimes horror. The menu just what you need being tired and not fussy .about an extensive menu.We are in our seventies and the children voices were not heard. What a gem. Thank you we will be back. Dr and Mrs W.S. Nel Pretoria
Review 3:Excellent in-room facilities and comfort. Bathroom with both bath and shower. Coffee and tea making facilities in room with small fridge. Air conditioning
Review 4:breakfast could have been included in the rate.
Review 5:friendliness and helpfulness of staff. clean and comfortable room. calming and welcoming atmosphere of hotel.
Review 6:The restaurant performed way below our expectations. I ordered a baby spinach salad which was delivered with normal row spinach (basically you can't eat it). When I complained they said they ran out of stock. Even the chef came to excuse for that. The worst part of the story that even though I sent the salad back and they accepted my complaint it was charged on the bill. We had to complain again to get it cancelled. They also ran out of all chef specials, except the chicken stir fry (we were one of the first guests for dinner, I assume they did not have any specials at all, although they advertise it). The ran out of the house white wine as well. The waiter tried to do his best, but it does not help much if you can't order from the menu due to stock outages. Other than the fruit salad (which was nice and fresh) and tramenzinis I would not recommend anything else. I think it is a better option to go to a proper restaurant instead. The breakfast buffett is 110 ZAR per person (no option for kids) and the coffee included is really poor. When I asked for an espresso, they said I have to pay additionally. Don't waste money on this breakfast, unless you are really in a need. You can have a much nicer breakfast elsewhere for that price! I was also disappointed, that there is no pool in the hotel, even 3 star lodges have a pool in the same area.
Review 7:The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly.
Review 8:carpet was dirty and worn. shower head not spraying properly. basin tap not flowing nice. poor quality TV. bar fridge with nothing in it. Aircon not very effective. no pool. everything seemed very dated. not fresh and modern.
Review 9:good location to mall and main road
Review 10:The location is not the best but the property was well secured and very well kept.
Review 11:The reception was lovely and the staff friendly. After a long day on the road the accommodation was comfortable, clean and of great style. We had a family room with a king sized bed and 2 bunk beds. Definitely deserves the 4 stars. If we had to stay in Bloemfontein we would be back in a heart beat.
Review 12:Nice to have seen Bloemfontein, but there is not so much to do. For us it was a stop on the way to Port Elisabeth.
Review 13:Good rooms, really good bathroom, nice restaurant in the hotel that serves good drinks and food. Pleasant staff that helped us plan a short walk-around to the mall.
Review 14:Food not on 4-star standard. Waited more than an hour for supper, after ordering. Sent beef burger back - no bacon, no onions, etc - as per the menu. Waited another 40 minutes for the replacement burger. Restaurant was not even busy.
Review 15:Room was comfortable and clean.
Review 16:The sheets were not changed in our first room but they moved us promptly. The restaurant closing time was 9 and we finished the main course around 9:20 so when we asked for dessert the server said the kitchen was closed. The bed was too hard.
Review 17:The location was good. The room was suitable for our quick overnight stay.
Review 18:When you want to stay in the hotel, ask for a quiet room. Otherwise you can have problems with the noise of the street.
Review 19:The hotel is build eround a garden. That is very nice. You can eat in the garden. We had a quiet room.
Review 20:no plugs to charge gadget, the room is dark and the television location is hazard, opening doors to move around pose a evident, hazard
Review 21:the location; the dinner and the friendly staff in the reception and inside the restaurant - first class service
Review 22:No Water in Hotel on Sunday morning. No staff informed us of the water problem and no apologies from any staff that there was no water. No empathy shown.......
Review 23:Neat and clean Hotel
Review 24:Room 31 that we stayed in is next to the restaurant and public restrooms. Hence, the cleaning/kitchen staff were noisy and walking past our bedroom window which was distracting.
Review 25:Convenient location. Accommodated an early check-in on short notice. Rooms and premises are clean, neat & tidy.
Review 26:Catering let them down badly; it was not up to standard of a bad fast food joint. There after lots of other issues that concerned us. Staff were disinterested in our comments.The was load music coming from the next property. The supersized bed made the room cramped. The bed and pillows were hard and already sagging.The duvet was on backwards. Shower tap handle fell off and the water did not run a way. Calling it the Bali hotel was far fetched given a minimal Bali decor.
Review 27:Cheery response on arrival. Room were clean and tidy albeit cramped.
Review 28:Rooms are really small. Had an executive king room and they could not give me a bigger room other than a family suite. The TV is so small that you cannot see it from the second bed. The size of the beds and room was my only concern. Found the previous guest's Coke and food in the fridge.
Review 29:That it is centrally located close to all shops
Review 30:We were out at 05:30, breakfast wasn't offered before or on our return....
Review 31:Down for the PPA Manguang 106km cycle race starting at Greys, the hotel was only 1.2km away from the start so all very convenient, just like last year
Review 32:The pillows on the bed were too hard for my liking but that is the only gripe.
Review 33:Friendly staff, good service, clean and neat facilities. I would stay here again.
Review 34:My room (31) was right next to the courtyard which mean a lot of noise really early in the morning as other residents bang their doors shut, glasses from the restaurant break, and residents/staff have their conversations right outside.
Review 35:The room was clean (apart from the greasy hairdryer), and the bathroom/shower was a good size.
Review 36:Quality of food not good for price charged. Placed in a smoking room and had to move. Only Afrikaans newspapers available
Review 37:Friendliness of staff and central location
Review 38:The set-up of the court-yard is a bit strange in relation to the location of the rooms. My wife and I (with our 7yr old daughter) were in a room above the court-yard and we were kept up till past 11pm or so by the buzzling conversations of other guests that were still having late night conversation and drinks below. Upon checkout, I was surprised by the lack of friendliness by the staff. We greeted first, and then I got back one responds/greeting from the lady that assisted us with the check-out documents. The other 2 ladies did not bother to greet. I remember one staff member sitting behind the desk putting on make-up instead of a good morning greeting. The other elderly lady pacing up and down also with a lack of greeting. Not sure if this is standard practice? My wife mentioned that whilst I was replacing my flat tyre after checkout, the older lady staff member was standing at the door and observed me changing my wheel. She turned around and went back inside. She did not offer any form of assistance or asked if we were ok. Will definitely not visit Villa Bali Hotel again. The place that we stayed at earlier that week was superb in all aspects.
Review 39:I expected a bit more glamour from a boutique hotel but found that the hotel was ordinary. Especially the reception area
Review 40:The simple but effective deco in the rooms.
Review 41:it is very reasonable and clean at the same time.I have enjoyed my stay and was happy about the environment.I will stay if I visit Bloemfontein again.
Review 42:Our first night was super with Glen en staff all first class. On our return stay we were a bit dissapointed with the dining room staff. Maybe a bit to young and inexperienced to have been left on their own.
Review 43:The whole feel of the hotel was of comfort and the fact that we did not have to go look for a restaurant to have supper was a plus for sure.We traveled from Cape Town for business. Had enough of driving!
Review 44:The room sizes do not really cater for families.
Review 45:The staff made our family very welcome. There was a problem at checkin where they has accommodated our children in a different part of the hotel to us. This was quickly corrected.
Review 46:The size of the rooms, very very small with no cupboard space. Ifstaying overnight only them passable but we stayed for a week -absolutely no space. Also, we are still waiting for the manager torespond to our concerns ... Unimpressive!
Review 47:Friendly staff.
Review 48:Guests been double booked to the room - twice in twenty four hours Noise guests at 04H30 in the morning and nothing been done by night staff No warm water in the shower and when reported, staff did not seemed to be bothered!!!!
Review 49:Beautiful facility
Review 50:Staff went out of their way to assist with details and queries related to me getting around in Bloemfontein. The food at the restaurant is also well presented and tasty.
Review 51:The pillows are a very 'high'...maybe just the option of a 'flatter' pillow. :-)
Review 52:The staff are very helpful, friendly and eager to assist. The room-service was great. They even put a blanket on my windscreen so that it doesn't get any damage if frozen the next morning.
Review 53:DID NOT LIKE THE SHOWER NO LIGHT AND NO EXTERACTOR FAN IN BATHROOM.
Review 54:I LIKED THE SAFE PARKING, THE WARM BLANKET ON THE CAR WINDSCREEN TO KEEP THE FROST AWAY, I LOVED THE COMFORTABLE KING SIZE BED THE ELECTRIC BLANKET AND THE SPACIOUS BEDROOM.
Review 55:room was on street and noisy - curtain rod about to fall off - Wi-Fi not great - TV channels limited - pillows like rocks - bed very hard - curtains don't stop street lights so room is bathed in orange light all night long - breakfast not included in rate which is high.
Review 56:good service in restaurant - secure parking - friendly staff.
Review 57:Met aankoms was die aan lyn bespreking nie ontvang nie, ekstra matras ni beskikbaar, lig in kamer nie gewerk, spieël hang skeef, kamerdeur haak vas. Kamer 31.
Review 58:I am writing after our stay in the hotel the past weekend. On arrival there was a problem with our booking. The Villa Bali team addressed this in a kind, professional and generous manner. While sorting out the matter, they served us complimentary coffees and afterwards insisted that we stay for free!! What could easily have been disastrous turned into a must visit again experience. Thanks again and well done! The team has set a new standard on how to deal with a sticky situation.
Review 59:Reception kettle did not work Aircon very noisy One towel 1? Small room.... not value for money Toilet spray not working Shower head spraying the roof! Shower head not working
Review 60:Dogs barking all night - didn't get sleep at all. Breakfast finished by 8.30am. Waited 30 minutes and left after eating toast.No service in restaurant, staff useless. Cupboard in room to small.
Review 61:Bed was comfortable and reception staff were friendly.
Review 62:Everything was fine, we just missed an extractor fan in the bathroom.
Review 63:The cot that we requested for our daughter's baby was put up in a jiffy in their room, and when I asked for ironing facilities, the cleaning lady brought an ironing board and iron to our room.
Review 64:Sound insulation could improve, but that goes for the whole Free State accommodation.
Review 65:Very nice decoration and nice rooms. Super Staff. Close to everything. One of my favourites in Bloemfontein. Has also a restaurant which is a big plus when arriving late and not feeling to go out.
Review 66:Breakfast over-priced and looked as if had been kept warm for a while.We gave it a miss. Wifi worked for my iPad but not husband's notebook.
Review 67:Staff very friendly and helpful. Made the effort to move elderly father to ground level room. Rooms spacious with tv. No view to speak of. Quiet enough for a good nights rest. Wil stay here again.
Review 68:My booking confirmation bill was R1340, but we ended up paying R18??,maybe because of my request of the romantic turndown, which was fine . however and I was totally disappointed that we had to pay for the breakfast , which we decided not to have there after a great evening of pampering, The reason was because it was booked online....! Really , what's the big deal about how one books ?
Review 69:I was extremely impressed with the romantic turndown , the chocolates , the candles , rose petals and the non-alcoholic drink that I requested , thank you
Review 70:Room was dusty. TV stand had not been dusted for a while. Bathroom lacks a shelve or cabinet to pack your toiletries. Manager on duty upon my arrival was not very helpful. I made a request for a late checkout which he summarily dismissed.
Review 71:Location and price
Review 72:The location of the Hotel is superb, the concept, look and feel of the Hotel is really pleasing and comfortable. From the checking desk to the amenities in the room. Attention to detail is good and all ads up to a great experience.
Review 73:Cannot fault anything was a good stay!
Review 74:Well positioned close to amenities, secure, neat and clean, staff super friendly and helpful always willing to go an extra mile for guests! Restaurant with good food! Like the set up of outside rooms, good for privacy!
Review 75:The only little thing that was a bit annoying was the barking of the dogs but it wasnt such a big issue
Review 76:Loved the friendly staff as well as the restaurant! The room...everything was just perfect! !
Review 77:Everything was satisfactory! I just had an issue with the TV in my room, 10, filled out a maintenance card but nothing was done! The screen was indented so faces and words at some places on the screen looked curved!! Also my first morning going to gym I was accosted by Gavin to ask if I was checking out! Little should this had mattered anyway as I paid my bill in full on arrival!!
Review 78:Overpriced accommodation & quality of food. Price on Booking.com higher than offered at hotel. Matress needs replacement
Review 79:Location & friendly staff.
Review 80:Our specific room (8), had a very mouldy bathroom, very poor ventilation. Can be noisy on the family rooms side. Suggest a butter knife on the breakfast table, try taking butter from the container with the steak knife provided.

Review 88:Contradicting info,was told the fée includes Breakfast,the next morning it wasn't,on checking out was told it include Breakfast,but was already 09:53 à.m. Nice Hotel,very friendly,calm location,friendly staff.
Review 89:The rooms are homely,but à Couch would make it more comfortable to watch TV.
Review 90:Not setup for international travellers - no plug adapters and when asked why it was because a previous visitor took it with them - does this not get replaced at the visitors cost then?? Do they only keep one adaptor?? Why should the next visitor be put out because they don't manage their stock of must-have items.
Review 91:Location Housekeeping staff speedy response
Review 92:Room is way too close to parking as well as drive way going up side of building. Very noisy if you are in that room. I did ask to be moved to another room when booking in but apparently there were no others available.
Review 93:Room was clean and tidy.
Review 94:Air conditioner broke down and was not offered another room, or fixed was only equipped with a fan (big difference between air conditioner and fan...)
Review 95:Everything was nice till the air conditioner broke
Review 96:The fitted sheet was too small for the bed and came off the whole time. Rooms 20 and 31 are next to the staff/kitchen door and the staff walks past the window all the time. A dog started barking at 2h30am and didn't stop. There was only one cup and one towel in the room although we booked for two people. I will not stay here again.
Review 97:The room and bathroom were very clean. Central location, near the Mimosa mall.
Review 98:The room we were in is not great for privacy. Room number 31. It is very dark, so one must have the light on and you do not feel comfortable with the curtains open as the staff are walking backwards and forwards in the outside passageway and talking quite loudly. This was not so pleasant. The room itself though was very comfortable but not too relaxing because of its situation.
Review 99:Loved the atmosphere of the Hotel and the room itself was lovely. The breakfast was good. Staff generally were very pleasant.
Review 100:It's situated near a very busy road, so it can be very noisy!
Review 101:The hotel is situated in a central place? Close to a shopping mall and the university! They go an extra mile for their visitors! A decent 1 night stop hotel, but not a holiday spot!
Review 102:The walls are paper thin so any noise from a neighbouring room could be heard easily - was woken with showers being turned on and talking.
Review 103:Very comfortable well appointed room
Review 104:Room was not serviced properly. Only 1 towel. 1 water. Certain tea tray items only for 1 person. Woke us up 8am to service the room. Came knocking again at 9 am. Why disturb guests when vacating room is at 10am. Shower floor towel had hole in. Bed reading light not good. Breakfast not included in room rate was not clear when booking.
Review 105:Hotel modern with good vibe. Room modern and Bed was good. Bathroom and shower beautiful and big. Location good. Safety good with secure parking.
Review 106:nothing of note.
