Booking a holiday can be a difficult process, special offers that when you climb inside them only appear special i.e. they require you to travel at 2am on a Tuesday and return at 4am on a Wednesday 9 days later etc. Hotels that have all inclusive packages that look great in the brochure, upon arrival you get vouchers for a 3rd rate canteen whilst surrounding you with 1st class restaurants. Even in the Caribbean with their all inclusive drinks offers, for at their resorts they place the bar in a distant location and often the bars are few and far between and when you do find their bars they have so few staff that it is like visiting an International rugby match at one of the worlds stadiums, as the bar is 20 people wide and 5 people deep and just one bar tender. You get the picture I am sure which is why so many now opt for a Bali Private Villa.

By way of avoiding these situations many people are booking Bali Private Villas where they are not in a scrum for drinks, where their dinner is of a good standard and that they are not up at 4am to make sure they get sun beds around the pool. Holidays are what they say on the label a time to holiday or relax from the rigors of your everyday life. So to ensure that they are a true holiday then book a private villa with its own pool and a bar that you bring with you from duty free or stock locally from the nearby Minimart, making a cocktail on tap exactly when you want it, crisps or nuts to savoir as you maximize your time around your Bali Private Villas pool under your gazebo.
One area that has embraced the Bali Private Villas concept is that of Bali, Bali has 100’s of Bali Private Villas for holiday rental. Most of these villas come with staff and are situated close to all the beaches as well as all the amenities that you will need for a luxury holiday in the sun. The Bali Private Villas market in Bali is a competitive market and as such competition has driven style, elegance, safety as well as all the furnishings and linen to match a holiday fit for royalty, they are simply stunning properties.

The Balinese culture is primarily Hindu which makes them a serene
race of people who believe in Karma. Karma leads their way of life such
that they believe they should lead a good life as they are sure to be
favoured at a time of their passing etc. This attitude to life ideally
suits them to the hospitality industry as this approach to tourism has
made Bali and Bali Private Villas such a unique and sought after holiday location. Bali is often
referred to as Australia’s Hawaii or the Paradise Island.
However, booking a Bali Private villa is not as straight forward as you might think, but if you get it right and it is easy to get it right, then you will have the best holiday ever.
i) Remember Bali’s Private Villas are owned by private individuals and as we all know humanity comes with a good and a bad side so you need to be aware as to what you are booking and from whom you are booking your villa from, I will explain this in more detail later in the article.
ii)
Global, large and faceless website companies are moving in on the Bali
Private Villas market and they are positioning villas as though they are
holiday
rooms in some hotel. These operators whether it be hotel rooms or
holiday villas, they do not inspect, view or refer any property that
they list, they also do not control the reviews that are put on their
sites, I will explain this later, this practice is all very well when
you are booking a Marriot, Hyatt or even staying 1 or 2 nights in
Mildred’s B&B – I will explain later in the article why you should
use a reputable Bali Private Villas agent in Bali and I will explain how
to determine who is
reputable and how you spot a back street one man band who has a glossy
web address.

First should you want to book a Bali Private Villa or even a hotel room through
these global companies, be-aware reviews on these global websites are
often manufactured by the owners. An owner can book a room or villa at a
low night in their week, say a Sunday, or during low season in their
villa. Understand this; the hotel or Bali Private Villa operator set the price on
these sites so a reduction in their rate followed by them booking a room
or villa means they limit the commission that they pay to the global
web-site room/villa listing site. Why would they do this? Simple really,
they get an email as if they were a bone-fide guest asking them to
review their accommodation, bingo a small price to pay for a glowing
review of their own establishment.
The Bali Private Villas owners come from all walks of life but the dominant owners can be property developers who see a quick buck to develop villas for this burgeoning market. A property developer has no clue as to what the hospitality market needs so are often non responsive to the protestations of their incumbent Bali Private Villas guests, making the smallest of issue magnify in the minds of the guests such that they can spoil their holiday.

Solution:
1) There is nothing wrong with a Bali Private Villas property being owned by a developer, a lawyer, a butcher, a baker, a candle stick maker (you get the picture). As long as their villa has been passed to a management company to operate it on a day to day basis. The management companies are invariably from the hospitality industry and know what linen to provide how often to change the bedding, towels etc, they know that if you order a fruit basket they are to provide that basket at a time that you asked for it, They know when to clean the rooms and when to give you peace and quiet. They make sure that the TV’s are tuned and that the remote is clean, they know when to remove lime from the shower head or polish the taps, to provide mineral water and so it goes on… Rule number 1. Make sure your Bali Private Villa is managed properly and by those in the know.

Which means that unlicensed operators pick these Bali Private Villas up and then market them – be aware these are second tier properties. These second tier properties also find their way onto these global hotel booking web-sites as they to do not do an inspection of the property.
How do you know a licensed Bali Private Villas operator, what do you look for:
 |
| A Bali Private Villa Licence as displayed on the 4 sites listed below |
A registered agency with a registration granted by “Pemerintah Kota
Denpasar” (Government, area: Kota, Denpasar) and that they have a “Dinas
Perijinan” registration number, furthermore that their registration
identifies them as a “Jasa properti” provider (permitted to provide a
property service). If it is not on their website then ask to see
evidence of their registration.
