The Baliem Hotel

GWK view

Not comfortable

Location: The hotel is in a very nice location with easy access to the main street yet a good distance from the busy streets, hence, provides peace and quiet. Staff: The staff are very accommodating. Rooms: The rooms provide basic amenities; beds are comfortable; facilities are generally new, clean and well-kept; a/c and water supply very good. Cafe: Menus are kept simple, good portions. Parking: Parking space can be limited but guests can use the vacant lot beside the property which the hotel's CCTV cameras can monitor for safety. Price: get a very good value for money.

The property itself was great. The location was a little off the main road but still accessible.

The room we were given (room 101) was right next to the security key fob/coded door to the main complex and pool area. Every time someone used the door the keypad would chime with an irritating beeping melody that could be heard in the room. We asked to change rooms however there were available rooms of our type left and were told we would need to upgrade and pay an additional 1.2m Rp, which we did not do. We asked them to silence the door sound but they were not able to. We had to sleep with ear plugs. Otherwise the stay was ok.

Staff is welcoming and tried to help but they could't fix the problem with dirty towels and bedsheets as replacements were of the same quality.

Room was very small and dirty, towels and bedsheet was very old and with spots.

Netflix on tv and close to GWK cultural park. For the price the room was okay with a double bed, tv and bathroom.

The location of this hotel was terrible, it was set behind a main road, almost in a housing estate not for tourists. Me and my boyfriend booked this hotel for 2 nights, purely to stop over, with the purpose of then travelling further down to Uluwatu. However we checked out after the first night. The noise is horrendous outside the hotel, dogs barking and screaming, people shouting, motorbikes constantly racing down the road, we hardly slept. Additionally, when we first got to the hotel, we checked in and went to GWK cultural park, when waiting for our bikes to come there where packs of wild dogs fighting. When walking back to the hotel me and my boyfriend where actually scared, there where multiple packs of dogs fighting, with many of them injured. There is rubbish everywhere and the smell is terrible. When we got back to the hotel, we where basically locked in the room the whole night due to being scared to leave, there where 30+ lizards, moths, spiders etc outside of our room because of a light that was positioned right by us. It was not a great stay at all. Don’t get me wrong it was pretty cheap, but the room was covered in ants, the aircon sounded like a plane engine and we didn’t feel safe.
