蘇吉瓦烏布度假別墅

This is still a new place, built within the last 5 years on what was once a lovely, fairly pristine area of sawah (rice fields) in Kemenuh, roughly between Gianyar Kota and Ubud. (Do not be tricked, as despite the name, Sujiwa Ubud is *not* in Ubud but in Kemenuh.) Sad to say that, since my last visit up this road in 2020, much of the beauty of this area is a memory. Villas and guest houses are going up all over, the sawah are not cared for as they used to be, and the scenery and ambience have been lost. Sujiwa itself is a nice enough building, with a little pool and rooms which could be comfortable with their nice furniture and balconies. Unfortunately, the place is not managed well. The two staff we saw, I think, lack training. Unusually for Bali, one was not fairly unfriendly and we never say him after the first day. The other, who does most of the work, is nice and friendly but, doesn't seem to understand how to be available, deal with guests, or to clean rooms. Our washroom stank, the shower drain was mostly blocked, and the toilet reeked of urine. Mould on the walls too. Our bedcover smelt mildewy. Shelves were dusty. The cleaner does not seem to understand how to clean. Meanwhile, our balcony on the upper floor had a bamboo railing that had been eaten by termites, to the point where it was flimsy and dangerous - certainly not safe if our daughter were smaller. Outside, the pictures you will see of Sujiwa no longer match the current reality and were probably taken soon after the place was built, but not recently. There is now a villa behind, there is a construction project happening at the far end of the pool, and another project on the non-pool side. Sujiwa is now surrounded on three of four sides, and building is underway on two of those sides. Instead of the sounds of birds or the breeze, you hear tools and banging from early in the morning. Sujiwa might have added this warning to their CTrip description, but they have not. The wifi was inconsistent, until I pressed the staff to fix the main account we could receive upstairs. After 2 or 3 excuses about the weather or the construction affecting the wifi, it turned out that the wifi could be fixed and it was. There is little nearby in immediate walking distance, just the road, the formerly lovely sawah, and tourist accommodation being built. There is a simple warung about 200m down the road where we saw staff cleaning dishes in the roadside ditch. Female travellers, particularly those alone, may not feel comfortable. Due to the construction, there are a number of builders staying along the road who have few options for entertainment than to hang out along the road in the evenings. One or more would also sit by the Sujiwa pool and smoke at times. The roadside ditch was being used for bathing as well, which you do see in rural parts of the island still. The workers seemed friendly to myself and my family but, as said, I might feel different if female and alone. Overall, Sujiwa might have been a nice place when it first opened, but it has been neglected. It is a shame this natural area has been disfigured for the sake of building indifferently run places like this. We paid a low price for 3 nights, but the price reflects the disappointing state of affairs.

地點在鄉村，唯一的交通工具是Grab。但即便如此…我入住時，從勒吉安坐了Grab，所以沒有問題，但當我退房時，我錯過了3次Grab，然後乘坐第4次Grab才得以出去。退房後，我乘坐了30號Grab。我在烈日下曝曬了幾分鐘...我當時處於無法索取所需物品的情況，所以我沒有索取。。不過，如果我在2晚3天的住宿期間遇到這樣的情況，我可以提前要求第二天的早餐，並且準時送達，早餐送到了房間。工作人員的友善程度和服務本身是 5 分（滿分 5 分）。我對分配給我的房間在一樓就在泳池旁邊很滿意，每次見到他們的工作人員都熱情地跟我打招呼……但是前台大部分時間都是空的。 2號房間的浴室感覺就像韓國鄉村的廉價汽車旅館，有時水流很慢，我幾乎無法用輕柔的水流淋浴。我從其他評論中知道連續入住期間沒有更換毛巾、添加水或沒有清潔，但我簡直不敢相信。但正如預期的那樣，它並沒有實現。由於我們經常游泳，毛巾不得不以某種方式更換。於是，我立刻向遇到的員工要了一條新毛巾，並收到了。設施普遍陳舊，飯店正面、側面以及入口處唯一的道路都在施工，灰塵較多。不過，Grab 提供外送服務，所以如果我不能帶食物也沒什麼大問題。幸好其他客人很少，所以我可以像租用一樣使用游泳池。

相當不乾淨而且潮濕
