Bale Sampan Boutique Bungalows

Very good hotel - far enough from the main port, but still still close to all the restaurants and shops around. Quiet hotel, but once you step on the main road, it gets very busy. Very helpful staff, clean rooms - we had really nothing to complain about.

Location, layout, calm

Gilly Island exceeded my expectation not only was everyone incredibly kind and generous, but the beaches were absolutely gorgeous. Closest thing to paradise. This location is about a 10 minute walk from the ferry. The staff was incredible. I got to rent a bike daily to cruise around the island which takes only 25 minutes people in and out of the resort were absolutely absolutely lovely. I travelled on my own and I felt completely safe the whole entire time even if I went out late at night, I mainly went for scuba, diving and snorkeling. You can literally swim out from your beach and see incredible wildlife. I mainly got this accommodation because I love the location as well as the outdoor bathroom. It did not disappoint. I ended up staying for two extra nights and we definitely love to go back.

Good location, beautiful rooms.

The walls are paper thin so bring earplugs to block out the neighbors and the 04.20 am prayer call. Housekeeping was a bit nosy and intense. Kept asking me about where my husband was and if I in fact was traveling all alone..

Quiet at night and the staff is awesome. The guys at taste are super friendly and the food is also really good.

Everything about our stay was perfect! The room was super clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious every morning. We loved that the accommodation included sunbeds on the beach — such a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a smile. And as a bonus, there were the cutest cats around the property, which made it feel even more homey. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Gili T! ??

Was very pleased with this place. The staff were great, the facilities, the location, all great. It was very nice to have the cafe/restaurant there as well with reliable good food which was hard to find.

They should put up a sign explaining the wine in the room is not free. I should have assumed, but that one glass of wine ended up costing me 40AUD.

The staff were lovely.The bungalow was well appointed, with a well stocked mini bar & tea and coffee. The breakfast options were good. I loved the fact they were eco conscious with no single use plastics.. They used metal or cardboard straws in the drinks and refillable water in the room and a water cooler where you could refill your bottles.. The location was fantastic and you can snorkel right from the beach and see turtles. We loved it here and wanted to stay longer.

Breakfast is good, location and the staff was good also

Wifi is bad, and the, lack of sunbeds, boat parking in front of the hotel beach

Room cleaned everyday, quiet, has all essentials. Breakfast was good, on the beach with the best view. Pool was also a great addition. 10 minute walk from harbour

We had issues with wifi the first 2 days, but it was solved later on

Location, rooms and bathroom, pool and beach area.Food very tasty lovely service

Beautiful bungalow. Mosquito coils available for our bathroom and balcony. Watched the rain. from the balcony and it was so lovely. Staff were so nice and accommodating. Right on the main strip!

Outdoor bathroom. But mosquito coils helped.

The staff are very friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble.The food was very healthy and delicious ?. Catered for all tastes. Great location for snorkiling with the turtles. Close to night life and ferry terminal. All in easy walking distance. Turtle just across the road at beach.

Can hear the Islamic chanting at nearby temple but didn't worry us too much.

Bungalow is very nice and comfy. Short walk from the port. Only would change the sunbeds on the beach. And vish, there were not so many mosquitos.

Property located 10min by walk from the port, so beach is much cleaner. They have their own sunbeds which are free to use for guests and restaurant on site which was super good! Many people from outside were coming there, breakfast lunch and dinners all were perfect. Silent at night in terms of parties, we did not hear any, but mosque is very close so during Ramadan it’s on till 12 at night and then again from 5am, but you can hear mosque from all over island, not a hotel fault just be prepare for it. Overall it was very comfortable stay in big bungalows , I would definitely come back.

Great location, excellent staff

Gardens could be better

Excellent location next to turtle beach

Nit picking----some paths not very smooth, quite a few mossies.

This is a great location! You literally walk across the road (small road that goes all around the island so everyone has to cross) to a beautiful swimming beach. They have chairs and part of the restaurant right in the beach. The staff were so nice and helpful. Really caring. The rooms are spotless, nice sheets, towels and a comfortable bed! The breakfast was so good and the little super cute restaurant was poplar for people staying at the hotel and outsiders. But never loud. I’d heard this was a party island but it was quiet when I was there. I really love walking across the road and jumping in the water. They set up a snorkel trip that was so good. Right down the street you can do a cooking class or jewelry making. The hotel set up a bike rental for me and it was so fun riding it around the whole island. You can circle the island, it’s all beautiful and interesting, easy flat ride and about 7k. I wish I was still here.

Staff was so friendly! Diego ( manager) was the best host ever ! Location is just perfect, right at the beach, cafe( taste) was good, they do the best late in the island! Hands up to Abduh he did the decoration on our room, made us feel so welcome!

everything was perfect! super clean, super cute, all staff was amazing, loving and caring! made me feel home :)
