Our stay at this beachfront villa was absolutely delightful! The online booking was straightforward, and the villa itself was clean and comfortable, with a private pool that the kids adored. The location next to the beach was perfect for sunsets and relaxation. While the service was responsive, I wish Wi-Fi had been provided. Overall, a fantastic place for a family getaway, and I'm already planning to return!

I had an amazing experience at Borneo Beach Villas. The booking process was simple and transparent. The staff at reception were really accommodating, and the sea view from my spa suite was stunning. However, there are a few areas that need improvement, like the limited dining options and the overall state of the facilities due to ongoing construction.

We had a fantastic stay in a spacious seaview pool villa that fit our family perfectly. While the staff were warm and accommodating, and the kids loved the private pool, the villa itself was quite run down and in need of maintenance. The overall atmosphere was lovely, but with limited dining options and some issues with the facilities, it left us wanting more for the price paid.

I had a fantastic stay at Borneo Beach Villa! The staff, especially Haikal, made my experience truly memorable with their warmth and helpfulness. The villas are spacious and ideal for families, featuring lovely pools for the kids. However, the lighting in the living room was a bit too dim for my taste, which impacted our night-time gatherings. Overall, it was a great place for a family getaway with minor room for improvement.
