What do the available Bali Residences reviews say?

The figures below come from Booking.com’s indexed pages, checked 9 November 2026. The individual guest-review dates weren’t available.

Keep the two apartment scores separate. They don’t measure long-term maintenance. Booking.com’s property-quality stars and each operator’s company-wide score also cover different questions.

Ask before your viewing: “Can I inspect the apartment offered, see its recent repair history and confirm which facilities I can use?” A holiday guest’s cleanliness score won’t answer those ownership questions.

Which Bali Residences building is this?

DNB Construction’s portfolio places Bali Residence in Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT). It describes a G+5 building with 118 units, including studios, one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-study and two-bedroom homes. The page carries a 2022–2024 label. These are the contractor’s descriptions; that label isn’t a completion certificate.

DetailWhat to match before proceeding
BuildingRegistered project name and number, plot and building reference
ApartmentUnit number, floor plan and area definition
Seller or landlordLegal identity and authority over that apartment
CompletionCurrent official status, completion documents and possession arrangements

DNB’s portfolio doesn’t establish the legal developer or seller. If your offer uses the Serene name, keep the Serene company-document checks beside it and request the record linking that entity to this project.

What should you check at a viewing?

Arrange access to the actual unit. Bring its plan and ask a qualified inspector to handle technical testing if you’re buying.

  • Condition: record defects by room, with permitted photographs and a written repair response.
  • Cooling and water: ask about recent faults, servicing and who pays for repairs.
  • Inclusions: match furniture, appliances, parking and keys to the written inventory.
  • Shared spaces: check which facilities are open, their access rules and any extra charges.
  • Follow-up: agree who will resolve each outstanding item and by when.

Hypothetical example: a furnished tour apartment looks suitable, but the offered unit has no inventory. Request a viewing of that unit and its signed specification. Keep the missing attachment on your SPA checklist until it arrives.

For room sizes, use the BUA and apartment-area guide to compare the same measurement basis. The Siraj Tower plan checks show why the exact unit plan matters when publisher descriptions differ.

How do you check completion and a proposed sale?

Ask for the project and land numbers, then open DLD Project Status Enquiry. Search by land number, project number or name and save the matching result with its dates. Call 8004488 if the match is unclear.

For a resale, DLD’s Property Sale Registration card lists a developer e-NOC for freehold areas. Use the transfer-NOC guide to prepare the issuer’s questions. Obtain the unit’s title and possession records separately; a project-status percentage doesn’t show its condition or whether it will be vacant.

If you are comparing apartment developments, use the Cilia at Ghaf Woods layout guide to request the same area breakdown for each offer. The five-development Dubai shortlist helps you compare the published dates and missing cost information before narrowing your search.

What are the current prices and service charges?

A current unit price and approved Bali service-charge rate aren’t confirmed. Request a dated offer, the matching approved budget and the unit’s account statement. Ask management to explain the chargeable area, included components and any arrears.

DLD’s index uses project, use and year. The community-fee worksheet helps reconcile that result with an invoice. Keep purchase charges, recurring costs and proposed repairs on separate lines.

FAQ

Does Bali Residences have a reliable overall review score?

The two documented guest scores each rest on one review of a managed holiday apartment. They don’t support an overall score for residents, maintenance or ownership.

Does the 2022–2024 label prove the building is finished?

No. It’s a date label in DNB’s portfolio. Obtain the matching official status and completion documents, then check possession for the apartment itself.

What should I ask for before a second viewing?

Send the unit reference and request its plan, inventory, recent repair record, service-charge statement and a dated offer. Bring the replies to the viewing.
