Verrassend goed!
Pros:

Een sfeervolle ruime kamer met een prachtige badkamer. Plek om je koffer open te leggen., Gastvrij personeel en een heerlijk ontbijt. Bovendien ligt het verblijf op slechts 6 minuten lopen van de aankomststeiger. Ligt aan een drukke straat met veel restaurantjes. Smal strand met gratis strandbedjes.

Cons:

De doorgezakte strandbedjes aan het strand. Een matrasje erop zou het aangenamer maken.

Lovely comfortable bungalow, one to book again on our next trip
Pros:

Very comfortable room indeed and with a lovely large bathroom (twin showers) Tastefully decorated and with everything you could need. Unlike a lot of places the longer we stayed the more we enjoyed the room. They must have an agreement with the neighbouring cafe (Taste) as that's where you enter, and where you eat. Again Taste compliments the bungalows very nicely (endless free chilled water for example) Food is great and again the more we ate there (breakfast included in accom price) the more we loved the relaxed atmosphere, good food and lovely staff. And even the cats a friendly.

Cons:

Nothing to criticise.

Good hotel
Pros:

The property reflects the limited space available on the Gili Islands, but it is clean, comfortable and well maintained. The location is convenient and makes it easy to explore the island. What truly stands out is the staff. They were incredibly helpful throughout our stay and organized the best snorkeling experience of our entire trip, always available with recommendations and practical support.

Cons:

The only small downside for us was that the atmosphere felt a little less private than we expected, as there were many Italian guests staying at the property during our visit. This is, of course, a matter of personal preference, but we generally enjoy a more international and secluded environment when travelling. That said, we had a very pleasant stay and would happily recommend Bale Sampan to anyone looking for a comfortable base in the Gili Islands.

Pros:

Mycket fint boende med trevlig och hjälpsam personal och bra läge. Många bra ställen att sola på och snorkla med sköldpaddor i närheten. Inte mycket ljud från alla festställe. Hörde enbart moskén en natt. Älskade utomhusbadrummet. Skulle definitivt bo här igenom.

Pros:

The staff were lovely and welcoming. The property is right opposite the beach and beach towels were provided as well as sun beds for people who stayed at the hotel. The pool was a decent size and very deep at one end. The room was aesthetically pleasing and clean. Breakfast is delicious and large portions, although not a buffet you choose from a selection.

Cons:

My partner moves a lot in his sleep so
it was quite noticeable that the bed was very squeaky.
