Guest Reviews
- Navarro Vega (4/5): Solo sitio para dormir - Ubicación Estaba exageradamente sucio

Rooms were ok
Host wqs good and friendly Rooms has pests like Lizard, Rats
Bed was not comfortable
AC cooling was not good
- ASEP (8/5): -
- Noemi (3/5): - Posizione Purtroppo non siamo rimasti soddisfatti del nostro soggiorno. Non eravamo alla ricerca di un resort stellato, giusto una sistemazione dove riposarsi e fare una doccia dopo il mare, e questa nostra basica esigenza non è stata soddisfatta. Partendo dalla colazione buona ma 45 minuti per 4 pancake mi sono sembrati eccessivi, ma non abbiamo voluto lamentarci e la mattina dopo ci siamo svegliati prima in modo da non tardare nelle gite e il tempo impiegato è stato 1 ora ma questo nonostante non di nostro gradimento non è stato il problema principale.
La camera cadeva a pezzi, sporca, insetti ovunque e sfornita di ogni comodità. Abbiamo soggiornato per 2 giorni e per un giorno e mezzo non abbiamo avuto acqua in camera, più volte siamo andati a chiedere di risolvere il problema o darci una camera libera (che era inoltre disponibile) per farci la doccia. Siamo consapevoli che possa capitare un intoppo, il problema è stato il completo disinteresse da parte di tutto lo staff, dopo aver insistito per farli venire in camera tre volte hanno smosso qualche tubo non risolvendo ovviamente niente e sono andati via dicendo che sarebbero tornati, cosa ovviamente non successa. Siamo successivamente tornati a cercarli e la risposta che ci è stata data è che stavano facendo la lavatrice e per quello la nostra camera non aveva acqua, alla nostra richiesta di spegnarla per farci giusto una veloce doccia la risposta è stata “NO” assurdo, riassunto non abbiamo potuto fare la doccia e la mattina nessuno si è preoccupato di chiederci se andasse o scusarsi. Mi dispiace fare una brutta recensione ad un così piccolo business, ma per questa esperienza non lo raccomando assolutamente.
- MacLeod (4/5): Best to come in with low expectations - Close to ferry good price Dirty, staff, food,poor wifi, no locks on doors, no mattress protectors or top sheets, limited breakfast items
- Ma'wa Rizqi (10/5): -
- Laura (7/5): -
- El Metioui (6/5): -
- YOUSSEF (10/5): - Best hôtel à gili c’est la 2 eme fois que je viens ici toujours incroyable
- Frederikke (7/5): - Only cold water
- Maxime (6/5): -
- harimurti (5/5): nicht zu empfehlen - Die Lage ist ok, nich er zu weit von Strand und vom Zentrum entfernt.
Personal war auch sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind in einem maroden Zustand, bei der Türe zur Toilette fehlte das Schloss, die Zimmertüre ließ sich nicht schließen. Sehr abgewöhnen Zustand, allgemein in der Hochsaison zu teuer für die Leistung
- Leila (10/5): - Staff was so kind, helpful and funny. AC did not work the whole time.
- Heyy (9/5): - Das Personal, Lage und die Ausstatung waren super !
Sani ist die Beste ! Das 3er Zimmer Das wir hatten war leider schlecht zu lüften, da es nur ein Fenster gab. Wer schlafen mit der Klima gewohnt ist, ist das kein Problem.
Das 2er Zimmer dagegen ist Tip Top ! Hier reichen die Fenster und der Balkon zum Lüften aus
- Carla Daniela (8/5): Carino - La posizione, centralissima e a due passi dal porto Non c’era l’acqua calda
- Will (8/5): -
- lopez (4/5): Buena ubicación y piscina, resto regular. - Ubicación y piscina Limpieza escasa, no había agua caliente y personal poco profesional y lentos
- thom (5/5): Hotel moet ingrijpen bij overlast - Het ligt lekker centraal Dat die muren van je kamer heel dun zijn dus je hoort alles.
En dat er dan mensen feest vieren tot diep in de ochtend tot 7 uur.
En dat het hotel er niks aan doet dus dan moet je zelf maar ruzie maken met andere gasten
- Haytam (1/5): - The bed and pillows was very bad i didn’t sleep for 3 mights
- Yu Wei (9/5): 吉利島是我人生去過最喜歡的海島,我希望未來還能再訪~~~若有機會也會選擇這間住宿的地方。價格實惠,地點便利,員工熱心。謝謝你們了 - 離碼頭超近,可以自行拖行李抵達的距離,又鬧中取靜,很舒服的地方,服務也很好,早餐跟飯店訂購,可以享有舒服的早餐,海島之旅與海龜共遊也跟櫃檯訂,早上會帶我們去集合。有游泳池很舒服,環境簡單僻靜。 因為自己沒注意到,到現場才發現要付現,剛成為百萬富翁的身份,財產瞬間銳減XD
不過路口就有可以換鈔的小站,價錢也比機場漂亮唷~~~
- Tine (4/5): You get what you pay for. - The outdoor area was nice. And the staff were great! Dirty and the toilets were leaking water and the shower were barely functioning
- Jazpah (10/5): Perfect accomodation - Great location near the main strip and dock for boats surrounded by loads of great food places. Tim the manager went absolutley above and beyond for everything during our stay and the rest of the staff were amazing as well. We were able to rent bikes, get a private boat tour organised for us, use the kitchen facilities (fridge etc), massage spa place on site, AC works really well, comfy beds and clean. The temple is right next to the accomodation and is quite loud but didnt bother us too much.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kamat (3/5): Poor - Location Poor breakfast spread
Lazy staff
Poor hygiene
Only cash accepted for payment
- William (6/5): Pleasant - Awesome location and great pool. Friendly staff. Bathrooms didn't feel clean. Bathrooms were on the bottom level, which was awkward.
- Sira (10/5): AMAZING - I stayed at Bale Sasak for a few days as a solo traveler and had a genuinely beautiful experience. The place is quiet, cozy, and surrounded by nature — exactly what I needed to recharge.
The room was super clean, with a comfortable bed and a cute little terrace to chill. The breakfast (included!) was simple but fresh and tasty — perfect to start the day.
What made my stay truly special was Tim, the host. He was kind, helpful, and always around in case I needed anything, but also gave me space to enjoy my time on my own. Traveling solo, it meant a lot to feel both safe and cared for without it being overwhelming.
If you're looking for a peaceful spot in Gili T that's still close enough to everything, I absolutely recommend Bale Sasak — especially if you're traveling alone. It felt more like staying at a friend’s bungalow than just another accommodation. ✨
Thanks again, Tim!
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional - Tim was really Nice, and the place is really beautifull, i recomand it!
- Maria (6/5): Pleasant - The swimming pool The humidity smell in the room and the noise
- Ramgel (10/5): Amazing stay! - Everyone was so nice and welcoming! The manager Tim was very hospitable and awesome! He would take out his acoustic, play music and sing for us and made us feel very welcomed. 10/10 service. Thank you Tim!
- Fabio (8/5): Very good -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. They have a great pool, a bar/restaurant with great food and drinks and also a place to get a massage! It is great value for money and in a perfect location! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone! All the staff were amazing! Tim and Pedro were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed!
- Pierre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (4/5): Disappointing - Lovely staff, nice atmosphere Aircon broken the entire time we stayed, repeatedly asked but was told the boss would only look into it the day we were checking out, very hot time of year so was pretty unbearable at times with no respite from the heat.
- Kim (8/5): Very good -
- Gendis (9/5): Recomended, lovely staff, clean pool, location ok. -
- Lachie (7/5): Good -
- Manoji (8/5): The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s very near to the jetty. - The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s very near to the jetty.
- Spence (9/5): Exactly what we needed ( somewhere to sleep👀) close to everything - Close to everything, five mins walk from docks
Friendly staff simple rooms with a/c and comfy bed Nothing
- Natália (1/5): Low security, really bad young drunk staff, dirty rooms and all area - Honestly, nothing Room was very dirty, AC didnt running. Staff was only drunk teens, not helpful and still loudly singing, all day all night. Also no fan in area wasnt running. Room was possible to lock with childish locker, no security. Pool was hot and hell, smells so bad. Never ever!
- Védis (7/5): Good - The air conditioning works perfectly. The staff were very kind.
The room is huge and comfortable.
Very good price and location (close to the port) The door doesn’t close properly, so there are a lot of mosquitoes in the room. We don’t share the same standards of cleanliness : there were hairs in the shower and a cigarette in the toilet
- Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fitriani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pol (7/5): Good -
- Karoline (7/5): Good -
- Finn (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were amazing, friendliest hostel staff we’ve ever stayed with.
- Pawley (8/5): Very good -
- Cameron (8/5): Very good -
- Anya (2/5): Worst experience at a hotel - Location is perfect as it’s close to the port and main bars. The pool area was decent. Staff were friendly. Bike hire at the hotel which was easy. 1. The room didn’t look like it had been cleaned for months! Floor had a layer of dirt. Bathroom needs a good clean and mop. The toilet brush was laying on the floor. Hygiene and cleanliness very poor.
2. Bedsheets were poor quality. One thin pillow
That smelt foul.
Doesn’t look like they’ve been washed. Not sure if the linen was washed between guests.
3. There were rats / mice running by the pool and hotel doors.
4. Very noisy 24/7. The locals were screaming / playing on the streets until 1am. Walls are thin. Music plays prayers songs thought out the day and night which woke us up.
5. A lot of light came into the room as the curtains
Were a bit of thin fabric. Massive slice in our window where mosquitos came through. Door was locked with a flimsy padlock. Did not feel secure or shut properly. Aircon very loud.
6. The shower only produced cold water. It was more like a garden tap than a shower. They did not provide hand soap and asked us to use body wash which is very unhygienic.
Over all it felt like we were staying in a cell. We could not wait to leave.
- Carlos (3/5): Disappointing - Staff is nice Extremely bad shape in general terms, rooms are very run down and doors don’t even close well. They didn’t even provide shampoo and body gel
- Julien (10/5): Exceptional - Pedro is a wonderful host !
- Zeineb (6/5): Passable - The service Cleanliness
- Bassett (5/5): No water some times for shower - Location No water for shower pay for latte coffee
- Fiona (9/5): Worthwhile - Amazing staff. Very friendly and helpful.
Simple, basic, no frills, down to earth. Don’t expect luxury but it has everything you need and definitely value for money. Nothing
- Sophie (6/5): Lots of lovely points but sadly, the noise, lack of lighting and aircon was difficult. - Staff were so welcoming and lovely! Really helpful and made is feel at home. Unfortunately our aircon did not work, meaning we had a hand portable fan which was very drying but appreciate them providing something! Our room was so noisy and we were awake most the night due to what i think was a bar on the other side. I wouldn’t have stayed longer than a couple nights, which is a shame as it was great decor and lovely staff!! Internet doesn’t work well which wasn’t an issue but more of a note. Again for £16 and the amazing staff it is worth a visit just make sure you have aircon!
- Emile (9/5): Very good very nice - Pedro was a really good host
- Liyana (9/5): Superb -
- Adam (7/5): Average stay in Gili T - * Close to the port/ harbour and main streets
* Swimming pool and sun loungers (only 4)
* Pedro deserves a special mention for his warm welcome and continuous smile and helpfulness
* Good AC * Staff in restaurant weren’t very forthcoming which meant wait times were long. We ate out most of the time, especially if we had a tour booked early.
* Blocked drain in bathroom - flooded after each shower and left a weird smell
* Only a combination padlock to lock the door, we had our own padlock so used both
* WiFi wasn’t good in bungalow 8
- Bradley (9/5): Superb -
- Yusoron (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jn (10/5): Exceptional - The location is good, and the staffs are very warm-hearted. We got a loft with three beds with a very reasonable price. It was really a nice place to stay in Trawangan. The staff did work early and it kinda wake you up at around 8am.
- Tim (7/5): Good - Definitely need a new mattress they said ok they will sort Mattress issue
- Amelia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ella (6/5): Pleasant - Great location
Lovely/happy staff
Great massage on site Room was not provided a lock for the door, so needed to use one of our travel locks from packs when going out.
When arrived at 2:30pm had no towels as all in the wash, when asked again in late afternoon told still drying and will be given later, unfortunately we then were unable to find staff when we returned later that evening.
- Sercan (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable and cosy rooms. Delicious food for good price. Amazing staff, makes you feel like a family. Special thanks to Pedro, Leo and Karun. See you next time brothers!
- Muhammad (7/5): Good -
- Christopher (9/5): Superb - Lovely staff and nice pool They were out of food for a lot of dishes the offered on there menu..
- Josh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jonah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Keith (10/5): Slip into the Sasak world of music and smiles - The staff are so very welcoming and see you as a person, not just another tourist. They are the best part of the establishment I didn’t want to leave so I extended another week!
- Daniela (9/5): Lovely stay! At a good price! - The staff was so kind they speak some Spanish and they help us with tours and everything we need. The bathroom needs some maintenance
- Angel (10/5): Exceptional - It's a really beautiful place with super friendly staff members, this place has a giant pool and very comfortable accommodation rooms.
I was surprised when I first got there as this place is cheap and affordable for its quality and perfection.
At night, staff members play guitar and welcome you to join them.
Good and healthy food what they will bring to you any time when you feel the need for it.
- Neasa (9/5): Superb -
- Martin (9/5): Superb - Loved how friendly the staff were and how they were so accommodating and helped our needs straight away. Loved how friendly the place was. Nothing, we had a problem with our Aircon in our first room but they moved us straight away into a new room, really happy with our stay.
- Martin (9/5): Stayed another night! - Lovely staff, really friendly and good location, that we booked on for another night after staying 3 previously!
- O'callaghan (9/5): Superb -
- Ruby (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were so friendly and I would recommend this place to my friends
- Joseph (9/5): Superb -
- Freya (10/5): Exceptional - The staff really made our stay very enjoyable. Funny, friendly and happy to help with literally anything, and always up for a laugh.
Pools lovely, big enough that you can do actually use it for exercise purposes, location is very central but far away enough from the main strip to not be too noisy.
Always someone playing guitar, had a few great nights drinking, chatting and singing with the boys who work there.
Definitely would recommend for the price and general vibe of the place Air con could be better, but it works better than some other places we've stayed.
Wi fi signal wasn't too strong but there's several different routers to connect to and at least one is always decent enough to get work done if you need to.
- Dylan (10/5): Would recommend to anyone, you’ll have a wonderful stay ! - The service and people were amazing ! Nice cozy rooms and very helpful staff
- Tanja (2/5): - Horrible run down two storey family bungalow. Everything was broken! Dangerous ledder to climb to the upper floor. stayed one night and it was the worst on our 2 month Bali trip. Wanted to leave the same day but the manager refused to refund the money so we were forced to stay. Luckily we only booked 1 night. The night we couldn't sleep as the room has no windows and no soundproof. you can hear talking staff until midnight as if they were staying in your room. It was super hot upstairs becasue neither aircon nor fan was working. All night long we heard mice running and scratching the ceiling between the first and secind floor. Wooden floors broken and a real hazard if you step in. see pictures.
Dirty dusty never cleaned floors, spiderwebs. broken not closing doors, 2 TV's but non of it working. Leaking sink so thatvthe bathroom floor was flooding. Absolute unsafe and dangerous condition of the room. Do not stay here! Especially with children.

- Nurul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anna-louise (3/5): Premises nice, room facilities terrible and really old. - Pool and staff, food good too The family room was poor condition, beds were like sleeping on bones, no top sheet provided just bottom with a thin blanket, sand in bed when we arrived, no fridge, no kettle, fan didn’t work, portable fan did, air conditioner was useless, main door to room wouldn’t close, bathroom was disgusting, shower tap so high I had to stand on toilet to turn on, overpriced we wanted to leave but decided to stay, staff were fantastic and friendly

- Herman (1/5): Bad -

- Roland (9/5): Superb -
- Anastasiia (1/5): Worst accomodation in Gili - I am glad it was only for a night - Well, it was the only available option that I would never choose otherwise.
There was a good a/c. For starters, there was no basic facilities like no hot water, no bedside table, no mirror, no wardrobe, no good lights, no toilet paper, no shower soap.
Not to mention that for 50 USD per night you could also expect some TV and a roof in the toilet :D
Yes, the toilet is roofless like a cabrio and is basically in the street - when I asked a guy why there is no roof, he said it is traditional.
Also, I don't recommend the bike rentals that they offer.
- Lock (10/5): Highly recommend! - Gorgeous pool and it was lovely and warm. The rooms were spacious and clean. Great location, less than a 5 min walk from the beach.
We could not of asked for a nicer group of staff! They were so welcoming, friendly, funny and helpful and they made our stay! We had a great time and we would highly recommend bale sasak.
- Sally (4/5): Not a good experience - Ryan was really friendly and the location was good- walking distance to the wharf The family room was gross! Very dirty, stained sheets, cat wee, stinky toilet, ceiling falling in. Lumpy gross beds, Curtains ripped and stained. We didnt go in the other rooms but the family room needs to be pulled down. Great to have a pool but there is so much chlorine in it!!! We piad $85000 for this experience !!???? Way to exspensive, our worst accom yet
- Kimberly (10/5): Exceptional - The staff♥️🙏 great guys! All of them were super kind and helped out whenever we needed. Thanks everyone! A special thanks goes to Tim 😁 you're the best Habib tieghi ! Nada
- Hall (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were very friendly and helpful, they offered sdvieon activities that we may like, and places to eat The steep step to the bedroom
