Balla Naila

Very quiet area, beautiful private property, the owner is an incredible reggae singer!

We have been travelling for a month and this is the nicest place we've stayed. The staff were super nice and couldn't have gone out of their way more to make us comfortable. The kitchen was a great addition to make coffee and food and it was a nice place to chill, as it was really quiet.

We loved our stay at Balla Naila. We liked that it is located in a quiet part of the island. Staff very helpful and even organised bikes for us. Would recommend.

Absolutely love this place! The host is very kind, reliable and the space is lovely. They organised bike rental, laundry and other extra services for me. Would highly recommend it!

Nothing, everything was perfect!

Lloc tranquil amb poc soroll tenint en compte l’illa on es troba. Pots reomplir d’aigua potable i et deixen dos bricks petits de llet.

El lloc és molt just. La neteja de la cuina i el lavabo han de millorar substancialment. El terra balla, si camines per la part del mig de l’habitació notes com es mou tot. El lavabo no ajusta amb l’exterior i entren mosquits, no hi ha mosquitera. Si sou sensibles a la llum o al soroll, calen taps i/o antifaç.

The host and the crew were so kind and helpful. Very genuine people. They truly welcome us, and we felt safe and home from the beginning. We love that we had our privacy and away from the party crowd. Bed is very comfortable. The location is a bit far from the harbor if you dont rent a bike or bicycle. But if you like walking then it's not a big deal since the island is not big. We ended up walking everywhere for 2 weeks. Also, there's an Irish pub, coffee shop, and eatery nearby, so even if you feel lazy, you can get by. On the other hand, the house is near to the north beach which we found out was one of the best snorkeling spot among all 3 gillie islands so we ended up going everyday (its very common to be accompanied by turtles there) All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and the warm welcome of the host and his friends.

There's no hot water for shower, but I got used to it, and actually, my hair and skin became better... 😅

Good location as fairly quiet which is what we needed. Cooking facilities are good however not really able to buy cooking food on gili so use a bigger supermarket before coming over.

It was a joy to land at this place after a week of hustle and bustle in Ubud! Chodet, the lovely chap helping to take care of things at Balla Nailla, made me feel safe and supported whilst there and very grateful to him. He met me at the port, helped me with my bags, and was very quick to answer any questions and attend to anything when needed. The home is in a relatively quiet spot on the island, only five minutes bike ride to the quieter beaches and you can barely hear the mosque, I slept well at night. The aircon is great, and the private garden with kitchen was one of my favourite features. I wanted to stay on longer although the 'seasonal' price increase could not be justified for what's provided. I am very happy with what was received at the original price. I would not care to mention the below if there was not a significant price increase in place, I feel it's good for future guests to be aware so there's no surprises!

The room had a strange smell (like mothballs) and wasn't cleaned the entire time I was there (2 weeks). There's building work going on behind the bungalow. This occurs during the day mostly and apparently finishes in June.

Private and quiet place with own kitchen. Nature connection.
