Please note Seminyak Villas-Bali is required by Indonesian law to issue invoices in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The invoice guests receive from Seminyak Villas-Bali is based on the median IDR exchange rate and includes a 3% credit card fee. Guests should be aware that when paying by credit card, a guest’s credit card provider buys IDR at rates that may be subject to significant fluctuation and they may also add significant fees for the transaction.

On some occasions currency fluctuations may favour the purchaser, however, on other occasions, there may be a significant increase from the amount of the invoice issued by Seminyak Villas-Bali to the amount billed to the guest by the credit card provider.
Please also be aware that in assessing exchange rates, guests should not calculate conversions based on exchange rate sites which quote seller rates that are always significantly higher than the buyer rates which will be charged by their credit card provider. For an accurate assessment, guests should contact their credit card provider directly.
