I laughed on arrival - from reading a previous review about a broken lounge in the driveway (from the hotel in front) it is still there but now joined by another broken lounge - but that is Bali! The Shaba was tucked away behind its sister property - it is the Jewell in the Crown! We were thrilled with our... More

The Shaba is a very good place, you will be welcome by nice and friendly staff. The environment and the decoration were so fantastic, we took a lot of photos. As this is a small Villa, we understand that the service would not like those chain hotels. We appreciate the breakfast very much, we sit inside the big kitchen and... More

As the previous reviewer (A&MForrest) already described, we experienced more or less the same. (They have an ipod system now, compared to that review) With no doubt the place is beautifull, i think a must see. We stayed there one night and it was enough for us. I am not sure if that is the lack of service, or the... More

A lovely little place tucked off the road. Quiet and peaceful ... a great place to get away from it all. The rooms are done up with a 'bohemian attitude', and are generally spacious and well-appointed. The shaba is a single-storey home, 3 large suites for rent, all with en-suites. The staff will close the shutters from the outside at... More

We stayed here for 6 nights as part of a 2 week holiday in Bali. Our overall impressions of the Shaba were mixed: we eventually had quite a nice stay here, but there is so much that can and should be done to improve the experience and make the $300 per night stay more worthwhile. 
 Our first impressions were... More

We had a fabulous stay at the Shaba. It is a stunning mansion converted into a three bedroom boutique hotel, with huge kitchen, media/internet room, dining room, pool table, and a great pool with plush loungers and outdoor dining. Tea and treats are served by the pool every afternoon and ice water is refilled regularly. The food is prepared to... More

This property is unique. Never have I stayed in such a hotel and the good news is, it is definitely affordable. The architecture is basically a colonial mention. Rooms are very large and the suite is huge if you consider the special package offered on their website. When I think that I paid the same price for their suite that... More

The Shaba-bali (www.shaba-bali.com) and the Villa balquisse are fantastic properties, directly opposite the Intercontinental, but a gem hidden away. The owner is French Morocaan and an Interior designer and that shows in The Shaba desihn and fitting which was opened in Nov 2007. Our room (one of only 3) was huge, full of antigues and and massive bed, a modern... More
