We stayed there in August for a few days. A standard villa is a couple of dollars or so more than a std room, but I would say is worth it. A superior villa is similar, but has a kitchenette.
The standard villas are on the first floor with a pleasant open semi-rural view. Large clean airy room with large comfortable bed. Aircon, fridge, TV, large en-suite with H&C and western style toilet. Small private balcony for sitting out. Adequate breakfast in open style restaurant. Friendly helpful staff and friendly clientele.
Quiet and peaceful and good value for a budget hotel.
A few minutes and a couple of dollars and you're in Legian or Kuta. A bit of a walk to the beach. A very pleasant and inexpensive restaurant not far away is Warung Sobat.
