I booked Askara Villa in April 2016 to stay in June 2016, my credit card details were provided for confirmation and payment. Upon arrival I was informed by the staff that one of the two Villas I had booked was no longer available. Extremely disappointing as I had been given no notice of this at all prior to arrival. A staff member phoned the owner who told me he had emailed me 3 days prior to tell me the Villa was no longer available but there was no email. He then said that he had tried to call me but I never received a phone call. However I later checked my email and found that the owner had emailed me to cancel the booking 15 minutes prior to check in, whilst we as two families with toddlers were enroute to the accommodation, this was just unacceptable. The owner then offered us another villa at 3 times the cost of the Villas we booked, considering the remoteness of the Villas we felt that this was some sort of scam and of course after the experience we were having so far decided to secure accommodation elsewhere. After asking the staff several times if we could use the internet to get last minute accommodation they did allow us to, however my friend had to pay a staff member so they would call us a taxi. This whole situation could have been avoided if the owner had of given adequate notice of cancellation. Extremely disappointed and obviously will not attempt to stay at these Villas again. Also they are not in Canggu they are further out and taxi driver drove around looking for the Villas for 45 minutes.. really hope this situation doesn't happen to any one else in future.

The villa is cozy and private, which my boyfriend love it! The pool and the villa is clean but still the bath tub and sink are a bit run down, it still worth the price paid. The environment is peaceful which you can hear birds singing and cocks 'coco-ing'. To travel out you can get the driver to drive you out, please remember to bring extra cash to pay driver and massages as they are not charge to the room. The manager is nice to explain the credit card payment for the driver and other services will take long time and the locals cannot afford to wait that long. It is reasonable cos it is hard earned money. We are coming back to this villa again!

We visited Bali in March 2016, for our honeymoon and found Askara thanks to TripAdvisor reviews. The villa was beautiful, complete with a private pool. The people were very helpful and the breakfast they cooked for us in the kitchen provided was just great. Special shoutout to Indravati who was attentive and sweet — making it an even better experience.
