Booking and Payment Process

Upon receipt of an enquiry we will contact you (normally within 24 hours if your enquiry is via email or WhatsApp), to confirm villa availability, villa rate (including applicable tax) and details of the deposit required to confirm the booking. 

Upon receiving a confirmation from you that the booking details are correct and that you wish to confirm your booking, we will then hold the relevant dates for you for 48 hours pending payment (24 hours if booking is within next 7 days) and send you an invoice for the amount due and details of your stay. If another enquiry is received for those same dates during such 48 hour period, then we shall inform you immediately and request that evidence of payment is provided within the next 12 hours. Should you fail to provide such evidence we reserve the right to unblock the dates and offer the dates to the other guests.

Payments for Bookings More than 30 Days Away

For all bookings, we require a deposit of at least 50% of the total amount due to confirm the booking.

A booking is only confirmed once the deposit amount has reached our bank account or we have been notified by our credit card processor that payment has been received, and we have responded to you via email that your booking is confirmed which we shall normally do within 24 hours of having received notice. Payments are to  be made in IDR via local bank transfer or IMT (International Money Transfer) net of all bank charges to the specified  bank account. For IMT we recommend you use TransferWise, as it is quicker, more accurate and cheaper. There are no fees for local bank transfers in IDR.

Alternatively, we also accept payment using a credit card or debit card through the international card processor MC Payment. All payments have to however be made in IDR and there is a card processing fee of 3% for MasterCard/Visa and all debit cards. 

We are unable to accept American Express, however  we are able to accept payment by PayPal (which allows for payment by American Express), but the processing fee is 5.4%. Our email address for payments by PayPal is info@secludedbalivillas.com

Payment of the final outstanding amount due is required at least 30 days prior to the date of your arrival. We will send you an invoice for final payment prior to this date. Once the invoice has been paid, we will provide you with all the final details for your stay. A guest’s booking is at risk if the guest fails to make payment within 5 working days of having been sent the final payment invoice.

Payments for Bookings within 30 Days

If your booking is within 30 days of your date of arrival, we shall issue an invoice and shall require payment of the full amount to confirm the booking.  booking is only confirmed once the full amount has reached our bank account, or our credit card processor has notified Secluded Bali Villas that a payment has been received, and we have then informed you that your booking is confirmed, which we shall normally do within 24 hours of having received payment. 

For bookings made within 7 days of the date of arrival at the villa, we require payment in full prior to commencing your stay by credit card and reserve the right to refuse payment by other means, including international bank transfer, and payment in cash upon arrival at the villa.

For bookings made within 24 hours of the date of your arrival at the villa, we require payment in full prior to commencing your stay by credit card or, by specific agreement from Secluded Bali Villas in writing only, payment in cash rupiah (IDR) upon arrival at the villa.

Failure to Pay

Where guests, or agents representing guests have failed to pay an invoice in accordance with the above notice periods, then Secluded Bali Villas shall have the right to treat such booking as being cancelled, and such booking shall then be subject to our cancellation policy.

Where guests, or agents representing guests, have failed to make full and final payment prior to the guests commencing their stay, then we reserve the right to refuse the guests entry to the villa, and to continue to refuse entry until such point as payment has been made.  

Where guests wish to extend their current stay at a villa, then they are required to make full payment of the amount due for such additional nights within 24 hours or latest by 5pm on the day before their original stay ends.  Where guests fail to make such payment, or only make a partial payment, then we reserve the right to either 

1. Require the guests to check-out of the villa after the last night the guests have paid for; or

2. To add a penalty of 10% per day to the amount that is due and outstanding to be paid by the guests.

Cancellation and Booking Amendment

Booking Amendments/Changes

We provide a 48 hour cooling off period for any booking made more than 4 weeks before arrival, and a 24 hour cooling off period for any other booking, where guests are able to amend or cancel their booking without charge. 

Otherwise we reserve the right to treat any change, which results in a change in the original dates, as a cancellation and subject therefore to our standard Guest Cancellation Policy below.   

For the avoidance of doubt, any changes to optional extras, such as extra guests, pre-payment for meals and drinks or car-hire or transfers can be changed or cancelled without penalty.

Guest Cancellation Policy

For guest cancellations more than 180 days before the arrival date we will refund the full deposit amount (50% of the total amount) less a £50 administration fee, and less any relevant bank charges or exchange rate differences where applicable.

For guest cancellations more than 90 days prior to arrival we will refund 50% of the deposit amount paid, less a £50 administration fee and less relevant bank charges, credit card processing fees and exchange rate losses where applicable.

For guest cancellations more than 30 days prior to arrival we will waive the obligation to pay the second payment (50% of the total amount).

For guest cancellations made less than 30 days before, there is no cancellation right, nor any right to any refund or any option to defer stay to another time.

In addition, any guests cancelling more than 60 days before arrival, shall have the option instead of a refund (if eligible) to use the deposit amount for another stay with  Secluded Bali Villas within the next 12 months, provided that where the proposed stay is of less value than the value of the original stay booked, then the amount carried forward to reduce the future booking payment shall be pro-rated down accordingly (i.e. if the future booking is only of 40% of the value of the original booking, then only 40% of the deposit amount will be able to be set against the future booking). 

For bookings that have been rebooked following an earlier cancellation, or for bookings that were provided free of charge (for example competition winners in charity auctions) there is no right of cancellation, nor any right to any refund or any option to defer stay to another time.

Please note that we strongly recommend that you take out suitable travel insurance to protect you against cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances, particularly travel delays and forced cancellations (such as those caused in recent years by volcanic eruptions) and ill-health, accident or sickness of you, or others in your party, or close relatives at home.

Owner Cancellation Policy

In rare circumstances an owner may inform Secluded Bali Villas prior to your arrival that the villa is no longer available for rent.  This may occur due to a requirement by the owner to carry out essential emergency maintenance; or due to the sale of the villa to a new owner that does not wish to, or is unable to continue to, rent out the villa; or due to staff illness and quarantine or due to the closure of the villa due to the impact of COVID or other unforeseen circumstances outside of our control.

In such circumstances, we shall offer to defer your stay, or if your dates are fixed and you already have flight tickets, to relocate you to similar or better accommodation at another of our villas at no additional cost to you, or where that is not possible to another villa not managed by Secluded Bali Villas that is local to the villa that is no longer available of similar or better standard.  If neither of these options is possible, then we shall provide to you a refund of any monies that have already been received.

Food and Drink at the Villa

Overview

All villas are fully catered and serviced and have an in-villa chef/cook and provide meals and drinks. 

We do not aim to make any profit from providing food and drink at the villa, only to cover the costs of providing this additional service for guests.

The following villas charge prices that are based on the cost of groceries, and add a 20% villa service charge on top (“Menu System”):

• Villa Kalisha

• Villa Champa

• Villa Talia Vashti

• Villa Anjani

The following villas charge the actual cost of groceries, plus a % villa charge on top that varies from villa to villa (“Grocery System”):

• Bougain Villa (20%)

• Villa Leana (20%)

• Villa Amanie (20%)

• Villa Daksina (20%)

• Villa Rene (20%)

• Villa Rosita (15%)

• Villa Rusa Biru (20%)

• Villa Wiljoba (20%)

The villa charge goes to cover other costs in providing food and drink, including transport fuel and cooking gas, maintaining a stock of basic ingredients and refrigeration and ice, although some villa owners do decide to give part or all of this charge to the staff.

If guests request staff to purchase specific groceries or drinks for them, then we shall charge guests the actual cost plus the villa charge for providing this service. 

When guests buy their own groceries and prepare their own meals, or order meals from outside of the villa, but still request the staff to prepare, or clean up after, the meal, then we reserve the right to charge an additional fee of IDR 20.000/guest/meal which will be added to your bill at the villa. This will go to the staff for the extra work involved.

When guests bring drinks from outside of the villa, then we reserve the right to charge a corkage fee of IDR 2000/bottle of beer and IDR 30,000/bottle of wine and to add that to your bill at the villa.

In practice we very rarely insist on the corkage charge and the additional fee for guests bringing their own food, however we have had guests that have bought their own food and left an astonishing mess for the staff to clear up afterwards, and so to protect our staff we reserve this right.

Breakfast

A full breakfast is able to be provided at all of our villas, and includes:

• Unlimited tea, coffee and water

• Up to 2 slices of Toast and jams/spreads

• Fresh fruit juice

• Selection of fresh fruit

• Main breakfast:

  • British Breakfast (Choice of eggs plus bacon); or

  • American Breakfast (Pancakes with fruit/syrup/chocolate sauce); or

  • Asian Breakfast (Fried Rice/Fried Noodles).

  • Healthy Breakfast (Granola, Yoghurt and Fruit Salad)

  • Continental Breakfast (Croissant, Pain au Chocolat)

  • Children’s Breakfast (Breakfast Cereal, with fresh milk (where available)

Villas with groceries system, may charge a small fixed price for certain items (such as jams, spreads, sauces) are not available locally and have to be bought in Denpasar or even overseas.  

For villas with a menu system, the Standard Charge is IDR 60,000/guest (and IDR 35,000/child under 10 (with infants 2 and under free) and the relevant villa service charge shall be added to these amounts.  There is a surcharge for the Continental Breakfast of IDR 10,000 to cover the greater costs.

Staff Services at the Villa

Rates for our villas do not include service charges, and tips and gratuities for good service by the staff are appreciated but are not obligatory.

Staff at our villas finish their standard working hours at 7pm, and after that time while staff are happy to help if you need it after this time for services such as babysitting, we do recommend a standard tip of IDR 50,000/hour or part of hour, for the extra hours worked, and this will be added to your bill.

Villa Provided Car & Driver

For Standard Rate Bookings, a 7 seater car and driver are included for the duration of your stay for the following villas:

• Villa Champa – Toyota Avanza (car and driver included)

• Villa Wiljoba – Mitsubishi Xpander (car and driver included)

• Villa Rosita – Toyota Innova (car and driver included)

Fuel, parking fees and attraction/airport entrance fees are not included however, and these costs, together with driver overtime of IDR 50,000/hour or part of an hour after 8 consecutive hours in a day will be automatically added to your bill at the villa.  

The duration of car and driver use for the day shall be calculated from the time that the driver was requested by the guests to stand-by at the villa, until the expected time that the driver will return to the villa after completing the final drop-off for the day.  

For the avoidance of doubt, if guests ask the driver to standby, and then do not actually use the car and driver until a later time, then the duration of car and driver use is calculated from the time that the driver first stood by, not the time that the guests first make use of the car and driver. Similarly if guests ask a driver to leave, and then to come back later, the time shall be calculated from the time that the driver is first asked to standby, and shall include any “gaps” when the driver was not required.

Airport transfers using the provided car and driver are included, provided that:

• Check-In: Pickup or transfer occurs after the standard 2pm check-in time.  Driver overtime will be due and payable after 4 hours, which shall be determined based on the time that the driver leaves the villa to go to the location of the guests to be picked up, until when the driver returns to the villa, and is released by the guests;

• Check-Out: Drop-off or transfer is completed before agreed and paid for check-out time, plus 30 minutes.  Driver overtime will be due and payable after 4 hours (for standard check-out time, proportionally longer for later check out times);

• Costs for the use of the villa car and driver outside of these times (for example for early pick-up or late drop-off) and for the hire of additional cars, drivers or taxis for airport transfer are extra and have to be paid by the guests.

Where guests request the in-villa driver to work after 10pm, then an additional fee of IDR 50,000/hour shall be payable and added to your bill, even if it is within the standard number of hours worked by the driver that day.

In the event that guests fail to abide by these rules, then we reserve the right to refuse entry to the villa to such guests and if relevant contact the local law enforcement to take further action.

Damage Deposit

Except for events involving guests from outside the villa, or external contractors, we do not ask for a damage deposit from guests, however where breakages or damage occur at the villa due to the action of guests, accidental or otherwise, then we ask that you please report them to the villa manager so that we can rectify the damage as soon as possible and we do reserve the right to add the cost of replacement or repair of the item to the bill of the guest upon check out.

We do however provide lockable electronic safes in each bedroom for guest use, and provide a key for each bedroom to the guests of that bedroom.

Smoking

We have a strict no smoking policy at all our villas. This is not only because many of our guests are non-smokers, but also because our villas contain many soft furnishings and have wood and rattan roofing that are highly flammable, and so smoking inside provides a significant fire risk. 

If you wish to smoke, then we do allow smoking in the outside areas of all our villas and the staff at the villas can provide ashtrays if requested.
