      Even though the place is far from the city, we're able to go around known places in Bandar Seri Begawan through a rented car at reasonable price. The staff are very accommodating especially Ms. Gina who assisted us in all our needs. Airport transfer is free which is very important since taxi fare is very expensive. We enjoyed a lot our stay in Brunei and in Venice Lodge.

      Neat and Clean Place to Stay”

      Venice Lodge is clean and neat place to stay for meticulous travelers on a budget. It also has a free airport transfer which is very important if you are arriving in Brunei after 6PM and before 5AM. Taxi from airport to any point in Brunei is extremely expensive and it could ruin your entire budget. The room smells good, talk about clean linens, and the entire property premises is very clean! The staff are also very accommodating, the hotel manager Ms. Gina, a fellow FIlipino, shared to us a local food while waiting for our dinner to be served during our dinner in the lodge. Only downside is the lodge is far from bus stop. You have to walk for about 15 minutes before reaching Gadong where you can find bus, but worry not it's safe to walk in Brunei! Don't bother to wait for taxi since none will pass by the area and they also said that taxi is extremely expensive. You can walk instead. Be mindful of the first and last bus that passes by Gadong area to Bandar (City Center.

      Your home hotel”

      Venice Lodge is good for budget traveller . Their room rates is affordable. The hotel is near the airport..10 to 15 mins travel time. An airport transfer that is for free. There's also a restaurant. A convenience store & souvenir shops nearby. There's also a swimming pool if you want to take a dip in the water. Most of all, a very courteous, accommodating, kind, understanding hotel staff. Special thanks to Ms. Gina, their supervisor. Also to Ms. Grace & Maryati. We would like to extend also our heartfelt appreciation even to the driver who fetch us at the airport & the chef at the restaurant. Kudos to all of you for a job well done.

      Though the location is quite far from the city center, it was greatly compensated by the excellent hotel service provided to us by the Filipino supervisor (Ms Ginalyn) and her staff. Airport transfer via their Alphard vehicle, free breakfast for our package, and even accompanying us during our exploration of Pasar Gadong Night Market. We can't thank you enough, Venice Lodge.

There's 3 restaurants beside the hotel and D Wazif serves great roti canai!! the hotel is clean and the bedding is very comfortable...

      Overall was perfect, except the location. Location is quite far from city center but still there's a bus service that pass through the hotel but not that frequent. The airport transfer (pick up & drop off) is a plus since cab rates in BSB is quite expensive. The driver was very friendly and accommodating too. Hotel's staff, facilities and cleanliness was perfect. Ms. Gina the hotel manager is very accommodating and friendly. She will make sure you had a great time in Venice and in BSB. She even asked her friend to take me to city center for free. That was a bliss. Was planning to visit BSB again and will surely stay in Venice.

      Excellent location, near to city centre (Gadong!). We were so lucky to be checked-in early (12:30PM) and our room was upgraded to Deluxe without extra charges! The only cons of this Lodge are no breakfast, 3 tv channels only, the Lodge is on the main road so expect car noises and the rooms are not sound-proof so you can really hear children running around in the hallway. Overall, we did enjoyed our stay in Venice Lodge, the staffs were friendly and they catered to your needs :)

      Pros: Near commercial area ie Gadong & Kiulap are within 5 mins drive, spacious room (Triple Room), quiet part of the city (less traffic), very responsive & friendly Staff, superquick check-in & check-out, excellent / cold split airconditioning unit, comfy blanket & pillow, efficient & reliable elevators. Cons: Limited parking space & tight turn on the way out, open tiles hallway leading to room (noisy foot steps day & night), room is not sound proofed properly (sleepless night & un”nap”able for light sleepers (noises from other guests), small LED TV for a big room, limited TV channels (4 only (should consider subscribing to more commonly watched channels), mattress is quite hard, 1 pillow each per guest (can request additional pillows). Overall, a homey & cosy place for a short stay 😀

      Perfect for a little staycation”

      Stayed for 1 night, and we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the pool most of the time because we had it all to ourselves all afternoon. The pool wasn’t too big nor too small. But you could do a couple of laps and the lush greenery behind made it feel so serene and calm. Our room lacked a few essentials when we came in but we didn’t mind to request. The tv only had one channel which was weird so we got stuck with just that channel. The beds and linens were alright, we had a good sleep except for the part of waking up early in the morning at 6 am to the vacuum noise that we could hear from the next rooms, we couldn’t sleep anymore after. Because we could also hear noisy chatters of people from the other rooms as well. (I was wondering if the walls are that thin or something)

      The room is comfy but my sleep was distured around 1 am in the morning when a group of people were chatting, laughing loudly outside my room.
