Dream @ Jimbaran

Rooms were calm and clean, and the staff were really nice, quick to respond and helpful. Good price too!

The service was great, and the staff were lovely. I had a conference, so they made sure breakfast was ready at 7:15 a.m. every day. I used google translate when needed. The rooms are small-ish and kind of old, though, and a bit of renovation would go a long way. I got what I paid for. The location is a little tricky, about 7-800 metres down a street from the main road, but Grabs and Gojeks, both cars and bikes, arrive easily. It gives you a good budget option in south Bali. I rate it 4 stars for the cordial staff and service, otherwise a solid 3.5.

At first the staff seemed friendly and helpful, but the mood got weird when we asked if we could pay later because we needed to get money first and didn't have a scooter yet. They never offered to clean our room or bring toilet paper. We wanted to extend for almost 3 weeks, but they couldn't give us a better price. They seem really focused on money, and you can get better accommodation for this price.

This is a cheap stay, but that's about all it offers. I suspect many of the 5 star reviews are fake, because Dream@Jimbaran seems to give freebies in exchange for 5 star reviews that staff check before posting. The room was poorly maintained, with rust even on the fabric blinds. The old air-conditioning barely cooled the room, even at 16 degrees. After a hot, sweaty day, the shower's weak pressure was incredibly frustrating. There's no hairdryer on site. [EDIT] I checked with reception and called twice, and both times staff told me they don't provide hairdryers at all. The property is in a very closed-off part of town, with narrow, barely lit paths that fit only one car at a time. Walking there at night feels clearly dangerous. See the earlier review about someone being attacked outside. Take your money somewhere that has integrity about honest reviews.
