Reviews of Balangan Paradise Hostel and Restaurant 2 stars

Friendly

Location is excellent since it is about 50 steps to the beach. The rooms are ample and clean with excellent wifi and AC. Once you are on the North end of the beach you can have your pick of food and surf schools. Aslo it's just above a convenience store for cold drinks, water, etc

The building is a little worn out which is why the prices are low.

Bad staff, unprofessional, no water supply to the room in spite of repeated requests. Worst possible service. This establishment needs to rethink its way of treating paying customers.

The hotel is dirty. The stairs haven't been cleaned in years. The bathroom isn't even worth mentioning.

Nothing much just close to balangan beach

No much facilities

It’s near beach.

Exhaust fan was not working in bathroom and drain hole was uncovered, continues smelling bad. No mirror on washing bassin, difficult to shave with dressing table mirror.

Dirty, uncomfortable

I liked location, but the rooms had old broken bathroom doors, a mold and dirty conditionair.

Neighbors at night hitting the doors very loudly. Couldn't sleep properly.

Perfect location, big comfy rooms and beds. Reviews did not match the cleanliness and expectations. Was very clean :)

A shower could’ve been amazing!

Close to beach. Affordable. Room size ok.

We had to book and pay for 2 rooms because a spare mattress wasn't available for our young child. We there left one room vacant and carried the large main mattress (heavy!) to the other room and slept in the same room anyway, but with far less space. One of the rooms had noisy air conditioning so we struggled to sleep, before switching rooms again! Also, the shower constantly dripped - which meant that, with the drain on the opposite side of the bathroom, the bathroom floor was always wet. Always wet feet even to go to toilet. Also, no hot water in any rooms. There were beer bottles outside the rooms throughout our stay, they were never picked up by the staff. There are wild dogs around the property, thankfully they were not intimidating, but they can make a noise at night.

Location, view, value for money, staff and generally a great feeling during my stay

Great located, friendly staff.

The shower was with very little pressure. Toilet was empty of water all the time. I had to “flush” throwing water from a bucket. During the night there was no water. I think they need to consider get a water pump to fix this.

Location and the main receptionist

Cleanliness especially toilets

Nothing

Room was very poor with no amenities

Only that the location was great and that the staff was always so quick to respond and accommodating.

Not clean at all. Stray dogs running around that bark all night. Mold and rat poop around the room. Door does not close all the way so ants came in. Don’t stay here.

Black water came out of the shower. I got very sick staying here.
