Galang Kangin Bungalows

Great location. Great staff. Value for money.

Dogs barking all night.

We loved the balcony. It was huge with fantastic views across the bay. The staff were attentive & cheerful . Evertime we met any of the staff we were greeted with happy smiling welcoming smiles. We enjoyed a simple breakfast of eggs toast & fruit.

Can’t beat the location, you can watch the sunrise in the morning from your balcony, step out onto the beach and snorkel right at your doorstep, then walk 10 minutes up the hill to Sunset point for a glorious sunset. There’s also snorkelling equipment on site to rent for $2 AUD and a restaurant with a good breakfast selection. Staff were friendly and very helpful especially the man at reception who gave me advice on where to go during my stay. They clean the rooms every second day and tell you that on arrival but you need to leave them the room key for it.

Bed was quite hard. Bathroom could be a bit cleaner. The main road gets noisy early so if you like a sleep in you might struggle a bit.

Great location, great staff, close to good snorkeling, close to Sunset Point

Cleanliness needs a shake up.

Location! This property is right on the beach at Jemeluk Bay, with rooms looking right at the water. You can walk out of your room past the boats on the beach, and swim and snorkel right in front of your room, seeing coral and bright fish and turtles only a few metres away from the shore. It’s a lovely safe and protected bay. (Note it is a pebble beach - the closest sand beach is further east in the Lipah part of Amed, but I find that to be a little bit out of the way). Lovely front terrace with seats and coffee table and clothes airer, and then a few metres towards the beach, very comfortable reclining lounging beach chairs with umbrellas. It’s also close walking distance to Blue Earth/Deep Flow yoga and restaurant (both soo good and highly recommended), and other restaurants , warungs and diving facilities in Jemeluk, with a mini-mart across the road for snacks/drinks etc. The staff are lovely, and were accommodating. The breakfast was the usual - with coffee, a small plate of fruit, and several options of eggs/jaffle/omlette/rice porridge for breakfast. The bathroom was fairly recent and had nice stone on the wall and floors, hot water with good shower pressure, nice big mirrors, all working as it should. The bed is a reasonably firm foam mattress, fairly comfortable. There is a small fridge that works well, dressing table, little sitting are, cupboard with hangers. Air con worked very well in my room - in my son’s room it worked but the thermostat didn’t work (it was very cold even when the temp on remote was put right up to 27 or above. In fairness to the host - my son didn’t say anything to them about that so they had no opportunity to fix it - we should have said something at the time). The snorkels and fins we hired were nice and new and in very good condition and very reasonable price. A room safe with a key, although that wasn’t actually attached to the cupboard so someone could just walk off with the whole safe.

No drinking water provided. It’s a real shame that we have to buy water in plastic bottles - I’d rather pay a small surcharge and have refillable water available to save the plastic bottles. (We got caught out overnight, but otherwise you can pay for refills at Apeneista a few doors down if they are open). Cleanliness - passable, but the rooms and bathrooms really could do with better cleaning - the bathrooms could do with deep cleaning scrubs, there were lots of greasy fingerprints on the doors as though the doors had never been cleaned. I needed to move the furniture to retrieve something I dropped down the side of the bed, and it was quite dusty and dirty under there. It was also rainy season and the room was a bit mouldy. I imagine that is not a problem in the dry season- and it has also been an exceptionally wet season this year. It was OK if I had the door open (didn’t feel safe leaving it open at night as the property is right on the beach), but the windows are screwed shut. That is a big shame as being right on the beach, at night the only secure option was to have everything closed with the air con on - whereas I’d much rather be able to just have a window open and a fan (and mozzie net on bed) to sleep comfortably with fresh air, only using the air con during the hot part of the day. That would also be cheaper for the hotel to run and better for the environment. This could be easily addressed with a bolt on the door so it could be locked open a bit (a sliding door), or adding window hardware. Also the rooms were not cleaned at all during our stay (only front porch swept)- which for the price didn’t seem right, especially with the cleaning staff being available but just sitting around on their phones.

-Friendly, polite staffs and so accommodating. -Perfect location, the beach right in front of the property so if you want to dip into the water you don’t need to bring key, towel to the beach. Nice to see fishermen prepared their boats from your balcony before heading to the water everyday. -There is a sweet cat that often visit my room during my entire stay, if you see her please kindly feed her, she looks starving, I wanted to take her home after confirming to the staff but I didn’t see her on my last day. -Steps away from convenient store, atm and good restaurants. The surrounding is not too busy but also not super quiet, right in the middle.

Need more electrical socket in the room (on the wall). There’s only one in entire room (in the beach house). The fridge wasn’t cold and my laptop didn’t charge so I guess the socket doesn’t work properly

Location

Bathroom smelled like urine

Good room and good breakfast, the place in front of the beach , and can snorkeling straight away! Staff re friendly and super helpful! Very recommended! 😊
