In-Depth Review
Baahu Villa has made a name among the stays near Pub Street on the back of a recent renovation and good upkeep. TripAdvisor and Agoda reviews line up on the same points: a very clean pool, and staff who smile and speak good English.
Rooms and decor
The rooms look noticeably cleaner and more modern since the renovation. Reviews single out soft beds, cold air-con and clean bathrooms. The styling is simple but tasteful, and the overall feel is fresh and private rather than tired.
Food and amenities
The pool is the feature guests bring up most — clear and clean, with the surrounding area well kept and sun loungers to stretch out on. A bar and lounge run in the evening, with a relaxed feel that suits winding down after a full day of walking and sightseeing.
Location and getting there
Sitting near Pub Street and the Old Market is the real advantage here, handy for food, shopping and after-dark wandering. The flip side is that on some nights you may hear sound from the entertainment strip if the windows do not seal well.
Things to know before booking
This is a small villa with a limited number of rooms, so book ahead if your dates are set. It is a compact property rather than a full-service hotel, so expect fewer facilities than a larger place. And keep the central location in mind: it is great for being in the middle of everything, less so if you are a very light sleeper.
Our take
Baahu Villa suits travellers who want a clean, recently renovated villa right in the centre, with a pool, a bar and an easygoing feel. It scores 8.6/10 and works well for couples and solo travellers who want somewhere relaxed within walking distance of Pub Street.

Insider Tips
- Book early — the villa is small and the rooms go fast, especially in peak season.
- If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room set back from the Pub Street side to dodge the late-night noise.
- Use the pool and lounge in the late afternoon to reset before heading out to the Old Market and Pub Street for dinner.
