Ova Baluk Bungalow

Simple with just the necessities which is just perfect on an island holiday. Cute little hut with outdoor bathroom and shower. Comfy bed with Mosquito net. Was a nice little communal area in the centre to have food or a drink and chat. A Bonus is the provided bottled water and coffee!

The communal area could have had a sink and a bit more food storage space to make eating and cleaning easier.

Olens and his staff looked after us very well. They were friendly and helpful. Meals were great. Great location for surfing.

The standard room was very basic for what we paid. Just little things - holes in the walls and ceiling, no shower rose, holes in mossie net. No credit card facility - for $50 a night you should be able to pay by credit card. I recommend travelers check out the rooms before booking.

Location.. Just 200m to the beach and taxi boats, also 200m to the shops/cafes/restaurants. The accommodation is basic and adequate when you’re just surfing everyday. Nice staff, friendly. Lunch and dinner basic but healthy. I had a new western toilet and air conditioner in my room which was very nice to have. Communal area in centre good to hangout with others.. with nice gardens..

Mosquitoes, geckos, mice, ants etc in the room and bathroom. The room is not sealed at all. There are too many gaps and open vents, big gaps under doors etc. Maybe just different standards to us westerners but we don’t like living with this level of hygiene.. Similarly gecko poo down walls, mouse poo on ledges and in corners, ant infestation in bathroom chasing the water, mosquitoes gather in toilet bowl water.. Breakfast just sweet bread. Other meals healthy but very similar everyday gets monotonous. No handbasin in bathroom, just a bucket. No toilet paper or soap. BYO! Noisy area right in village.. often music and motorbikes revving at all hours.. animals everywhere making noises, especially roosters crowing all hours.. earplugs helped Rats fighting on the tin roof during the night too!

Food was very good. Location is perfect : central yet not on the main road. 5 minutes walk to the beach. May still be a good deal for anyone traveling on a tight budget.

I had contact ahead of my arrival with someone who speaks English (the dad I think). Unfortunately he wasn't there during our stay. We arrived from the port at 9pm with their own driver (very expensive compared to what the other places offer, but anyway) and there was no welcoming at all, no explanation, no toilet paper etc. Place is rather dirty with mice poo in the room, garbage in the common area and the bathroom was full of mold. Our room didn't lock. We didn't get a chance to say goodbye as there was no one again.

The location was great, the food was great, all meals included.. the owners are lovely and well respected members of a beautiful community so it’s perfectly safe.. plenty of space to relax and enjoy relaxing time reading a book or using WIFI. Olins and his family are just wonderful hosts ☺️

I didn’t have the time to stay longer

Nice and quiet location. Safe place, the 3 homemade meals are included and nice

Very friendly owners, great food, awesome location, quite. Great value for money.

Bathroom could be better AC not the coldest but ok
