VILLA VEDAS CATERING TASTE TESTS

Villa Vedas invites up to 2 guests who have booked the villa and paid a deposit to have a taste test of the villa’s in house catering free of charge. Guests above 2 in number and guests who have not yet paid a deposit for accommodation at the villa will be asked to pay the cost of ingredients + 30% (the same as for our in house menu) to do taste tests, which will normally be done in the staff quarters if the villa has resident guests when the taste test is scheduled. In the event that the guest decides to use VVC as their caterer, the taste testing charge is deducted from the catering invoice.

CHARGES FOR USE OF OUTSIDE CATERERS & USE OF VILLA VEDAS’ BAR

Villa Vedas Catering (VVC) offers a high quality and competitively priced catering and bar service, and there is no charge for use of VVC’s catering services.

However, guests who prefer to use an outside food caterer are free to do so, subject to payment of a service fee of IDR 125,000/persons.

Guests who prefer to serve their own drinks from our bar are required to pay a service fee of 125,000/persons.. 2 bar staff, glasses, and ice are included in this service fee. It is suggested that guests purchase at least a soft drinks package from Villa Vedas (to which they can add alcohol without corkage) in order to avoid paying a bar service fee.

CHARGES FOR USE OF VILLA VEDAS’ COMMERCIAL KITCHEN

Villa Vedas has a large commercial kitchen that can be used by outside caterers (after payment of the outside catering charge of USD 500) for plating, but not for cooking. Outside caterers who wish to use our commercial kitchen to cook food are required to pay a service fee of IDR 2,500,000.

OUTSIDE CATERER MOBILE KITCHEN

Outside caterers are required to set up their mobile kitchens in the parking area, NOT inside the villa.

ALCOHOL POLICY

Villa Vedas allows guests to supply their own alcohol without a corkage charge. If a guest chooses our IDR 300,000 soft drinks package, we will provide bar staff, ice, garnish and mixers, and make alcoholic cocktails of the guest’s choice.

VILLA VEDAS’ EVENT CAPACITY

With its 120 m2 of pool decks deployed the villa can host up to 220 seated guests, and up to 300 standing guests.

CURFEW POLICY

Villa Vedas has no curfew, but we normally suggest a voluntary 3 am curfew to our guests.

PAYMENT TERMS & CONDITIONS

However, we will normally accept a 25% deposit on the accommodation and venue hire fee for bookings where check in is more than 12 months in the future, and we will try to assist our guests with their cash flow situation if the need arises.

Please note that a 10% non-refundable deposit is payable on our catering. As we only cater at Villa Vedas, and we already have an accommodation and venue hire fee deposit from our in-house guests, unlike outside caterers we do not need a large catering deposit from our guests

SECURITY DEPOSIT

For the convenience of our guests, we prefer just to hold a passport until the guest folio is settled at checkout, against which we can advance substantial credit without having to take a security deposit.

However, if guests prefer not to offer up their passport as security, we require a security deposit of IDR 10,000,000 (or equivalent in other currencies), which must be topped up with additional IDR 10,000,000 deposits as soon as the guest folio exceeds the amount of the security deposit.

The security deposit is refundable on check out if paid in cash on arrival, or within 3-5 days of check out if paid by bank transfer.

Cash is preferred as it can be returned during check out, which avoids an unnecessary administrative burden for both parties.

Kindly note that any damage caused to the villa will be borne fully by the guest on a joint and several basis, and that liability for any damage caused is not limited to the amount of the damage deposit. It is in the interests of everyone that no damage be caused to the villa.

SETTLEMENT OF INCIDENTALS

Guests can pay for food, beverages, massages, transport and other incidentals ordered at the villa in cash or by credit card (subject to a 3% surcharge). If settlement is by credit card, the charge will be in Indonesian Rupiah.

FIREWORKS, BONFIRES & DRONES

Fireworks displays are permitted, subject to payment of an additional Rp 3,000,000 fee to the banjar for their letter of recommendation, which is required to obtain a fireworks permit from the central police office. Bonfires are permitted on the beach at no additional charge. Use of drones is permitted.

CANCELLATION POLICY 

In the event that a guest cancels a booking, the following cancellation fees will apply: 

50% of the accommodation and venue hire fee will be forfeited if the cancellation is made 60 or more days before the start of the rental period (banjar fees will be refunded in full). 

100% of the accommodation and venue hire fee will be forfeited if the cancellation is made between 1 and 60 days before the start of the rental period.
