I only spent one night here before staying at Tir Na Nog which has the same owner. I would have liked to stay here the whole time. The room was super cute and hotel is centrally located around other hotels/restaurants. Room was clean and nice they did not have a t.v. though. More

Great place to stay. Friendly staff, very helpful. Rooms are spacious. Yummy breakfast. Down the quieter end of the main strip. Organized bike & boat rental for us. For those needing all the mod cons on holiday - a note of warning - Rooms don't have a fridge or tv and there's no wi-fi at the bungalows. Overall good value... More

We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. Nice clean, spacious room with fan and airco plus veranda with bench outside, beautiful outdoor shower with even hot water most of the times. No sea view from our 'villa' but nice green and quite just steps away from the beach and the main path. Simple but nice breakfast with choice of... More

Great place to stay! The rooms were clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the location was perfect. The hotel is within close proximity of nightlife and the good restaurants, but quiet enough to make our stay relaxing. More

We stayed as part of a group of twelve for a fiftieth birthday celebration, and really couldn't have asked for more.

The rooms were... More

We stayed for seven nights with our three kids and it was beautiful. The hotel is lovely but it is the staff that make it special. Mariana, Rudy, Yudi and the rest of the staff are just so lovely. They are happy to chat if you feel like company but they are never intrusive. Our seven year old enjoyed playing... More

I stayed at Bale Sampan for 3 nights in Sep 2011. I had pre booked online and the english manager was hugely efficient helping with booking ferries etc. However we were a little disappointed with our room. Firstly we paid a marginal premium for a 'seaview' room. well there is no sea view. You are set back with large plants,... More

We had spent a few weeks travelling Bali, Lombok and Flores and decided to head to the Gilis to leave our bags in one place and chill for a week. Bale Sampan is definitely the place to do this on Gili T. We stayed in the poolside bungalow which was quite above our budget, but we loved the porch with... More
