  We've had a wonderful stay at Villa Mako. The garden was heaven to hang out in. Food provided was super tasty, staff very attentive and with great hosting skills. We would certainly recommend the villa & would love to be able to return again. Beds were also very comfortable. Thanks to the staff for all your hard work & thanks to the owners for a relaxing and special holiday.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  Alex B, Netherlands

• November 14th, 2018 - November 25th, 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.

  Alistair S, Australia

• October 13th, 2018 - November 4th, 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.

  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.

• July 14th, 2018 - July 21st, 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)!

  Rosemary M, Hong Kong

• July 3rd, 2018 - July 11th, 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.

  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.

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.

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.
