Quiet rooms at Montigo Resorts, Seminyak
Soundproofing is inconsistent; most guests report noticeable noise from adjacent rooms, hallways, and lift areas, though some rooms are quieter. Location within the property significantly affects the experience.
No improvement over time detected. Recent reviews from mid-to-late 2026 continue to report soundproofing issues (claim 117194, 117174, 108826), consistent with earlier complaints from 2025 (claims 306645, 307885). The issue is ongoing and persistent across the review period.
What the reviews tell us
Majority of guests report audible noise from adjacent rooms and hallways, particularly footsteps and conversations carrying through walls and doors
Ground-floor rooms and lift-adjacent rooms experience significantly worse noise isolation due to location factors combined with weak insulation
Rooms to the rear of the property are affected by external or common-area noise, suggesting uneven soundproofing across the property
One guest reported their room as genuinely quiet, indicating that room selection or placement may provide some relief but is not reliable
Overall soundproofing design appears insufficient for a resort setting; multiple recent reviews (2025–2026) consistently cite the need for better wall and floor insulation
Montigo Resorts' soundproofing performance is mixed and location-dependent. While one Australian guest found their room "really quiet," the majority of reviewers identify audible noise leakage as a persistent issue. Guests in ground-floor and lift-adjacent rooms experience the most intrusion, with complaints of footsteps, conversations from neighbors, and hallway traffic audible at night. Rooms to the rear of the property are also flagged as problematic. The core issue appears to be inadequate wall and door insulation rather than a single location problem—multiple independent reviewers note that conversations and footsteps carry between adjacent rooms. This suggests wall-level soundproofing falls below expected standards for a resort property, though location selection (upper floors, away from lifts and common areas) may partially mitigate the impact.
Quiet vs. Noisy Rooms: Location and Insulation Conflict
One Australian guest (claim 110622) reported a "really quiet" room in June 2026. However, this is directly contradicted by the consistent pattern across six other claims from diverse reviewers and dates, all reporting inadequate soundproofing. The single positive experience appears to be an outlier, possibly due to room location (upper floor, away from lifts and common areas) rather than strong overall soundproofing. UK reviewers from the same date (May 2026) in different rooms experienced hallway noise and ground-floor issues, suggesting the quiet room was an exception rather than the norm. No evidence suggests a recent improvement or decline—the contradiction reflects room-level variability rather than temporal change.

Bedroom was good but some noise when guests were passing in the night
Room could do with better soundproofing
Probably because I had a ground floor room
we were in room near lift - was very noisy
