Tips

We are happy to welcome you! Our team is already living in Bali for years and some of us are born and raised here. Here is a list of insider tips that will make your time in Bali easier, more fun and cheaper:

GETTING THERE:

From the airport, you can just walk to the taxi point, there are always taxis available. The price to the Juli Villas is normally between 300.000 IDR and 500.000 IDR. There is also a Grab Taxi point at the taxi point. They can order a taxi for you over there, which is normally cheaper (150.000 IDR - 350.000 IDR). This is the address for drop off: Gg. Ulun Kul-Kul, Tibubeneng, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361

If you prefer to have a driver waiting for you, just contact one of our drivers yourself via Whatsapp:
Barna: +62 856 4100 6125
Krisna: +62 8786 213 7424
You can arrange it yourself. If you give your flight number and arrival time they will be waiting for you. Expect to pay around 350.000 - 450.000 IDR. You can also contact these drivers for other trips in Bali.

TIP! Download the Grab and Gojek app on your phone and get an e-sim before you arrive with Airalo (Order here: https://ref.airalo.com/121z Use the code: THOMAS5371 to get USD $3.00 discount.). Then you can order it yourself when you are there 🙂 From other locations in Bali, use Grab or Gojek. Or at some locations ask your hotel for a local contact who can bring you, if Gojek or Grab isn't available.

Check-in
You can check in by yourself anytime you want after 15:00. You receive check in instructions 2 days befoore the booking. There will be a key for you at the location, so you can check in by yourself. Sometimes it is possible to do an earlier check in or leave your luggage earlier at the house. Contact us up-front if you want to do that, we will check if it's possible.

Check-out

Checkout time is at 11:00. Please don't forget your stuff. You do not have to do a full cleaning, our team will do that. But it's appreciated if you leave the house in a decent manner. For the rest just leave when you want. Sometimes a later check-out is possible, or leaving your luggage for a while is also possible sometimes. Contact us on time when you prefer to do this, we will check if it's possible.

Early check-in
Depending on the bookings and the time of departure of the previous guests we can do an early check in. You can always drop your bags from 12:30 onwards and we will have the villa ready at 15:00. If the previous guests have left earlier and we have cleaned the villa earlier then 15:00, we will inform you on the day itself.

House rules
You have this house all to yourself, but it is located in a quiet residential street and there are other houses around your house. The parking area is also the access for the house next the the tiny house for the villa next door. Please no parties, pets, large groups, smoking, drug use, loud music. Turn off the air conditioning when you are not in the house. Do not turn on the air conditioning with the doors open. This way we don't waste energy unnecessarily. There may be insects and geckos etc. We clean the house regularly, but this is everywhere in Bali, after all we are in the tropics. Please do not throw toilet paper and hygienic wipes etc. in the toilet but in the trash can near the toilet. This way it doesn't get clogged. This was the list with the practicalities 🙂

GETTING AROUND:
- Rent your own motorbike:

this is the most practical, fast and affordable way. Only do it if you are a bit comfortable on riding a bike. Always wear a helmet and don't rush! At walking distance from the house (road: Jalan Tegal Sari) there are several motorbike rentals. Price for Vario / Scoopy: 50.000 - 100.000 IDR per day. Price for NMax / PCX 100.000-200.000 IDR per day.
Closeby is
- Nyoman Motorbike Rental. Contact: +6285792299202
- Putra Perdina Motorbike Rental. Contact: +6281803734219

- Taxi / motorbike taxi:
safe and cheap. Use Grab and Gojek to book this. Bluebird taxis are notorious for asking very high prices. Motorbike is faster in crowded areas (Canggu / Kuta / Denpasar / Seminyak).
- Walking:
for small distances it's ok, in Canggu area there are now more and more paths for pedestrians. But in general, there is a lack of decent infrastructure to walk relaxed and safe.
- Public transport:
almost not available. Don't even try...

Viewings:
Our team is happy to show you our beautiful place! We can only do viewings when there is a check-out that day, or when the house isn't booked. So sometimes it can take a while before this happens (we have many long-term bookings). Also we do not organize viewings for bookings <14 days. If you look on our website, you can see walk-through videos and a lot of photos. Also on the Airbnb pages you find loads of photos and a lot of good reviews. So what you see is what you get. So hopefully this already convinces you. Otherwise let us know and we will try to organize a viewing.

Happy to stay longer? Contact us directly to get a 10% discount of the price you see at Airbnb. Contact Ayu, the villa manager via Whatsapp: +6282266260241. Together with her you can arrange everything. We have more villa's available, so even if your villa is booked after your stay, we can check other options. 

Cleaning:
The house normally gets cleaned 2 days per week, between 10:00-15:00. The garden also twice per week. Ayu is responsible for cleaning the house and managing the house for day to day issues. If you have a preferred time for cleaning, or other preferences let us know directly.

Tipping the staff:
