Property is quite a distance from the main strip on the island. Room could do with a fridge to keep water clean.

Property was clean and staff were very accommodating and helpful. We were able to send items to be laundered and rent bikes.

Simple but exactly what we needed - bed was comfy and shower really good! Nice pool and a lovely cat called Lala!

Everything met our expectations:)

Great location (easy to walk to both sides of the island from), clean and comfortable. Pool is a good temp and catches the sun most of the day. You can also do your laundry through the property which was helpful.

Pros - smart tv in the room, spacious room and bathroom, safe in the room, comfy bed and bedding - can rent bikes from the accommodation - really modern and new - decent location with nice restaurants etc nearby Cons - the staff could work on professionalism…the owner constantly burped during conversations :/ and it sometimes felt like you couldn’t use the communal spaces as he / his friends were there - we had a lot of mosquitos in our room and bathroom, no idea how they managed to get in as we always kept the door shut - shower was only ever lukewarm rather than hot

Access to the property. The surrounding roads were flooded during rainy season, nothing the host can do but just bring footwear that is okay to get wet.

Very Quiet and comfortable, close to the Main Street and good host who was able to advise where possible and offer multiple services.

Streets leading to the location are muddy and dark, not the best to walk in the night. Hot water in the bathroom wasn't really hot, just warm. Room is too dark, could have bigger windows.

Friendly staff. TV for netflix (not often this happens for this price). Clean & comfortable room. Pleasant common area.

If I had to say something, cleanliness could be improved but was still satisfactory :)

Location was perfect for both sides of the island. Staff was friendly and helpful, we had absolutely no issues! Bikes available to rent and staff helped us book a really enjoyable snorkelling trip. Room was spacious and bathroom was good. Pool area was lovely.

Sounds travelled between rooms, did not feel very private

Nice and central on the island

Small courtyard and pool area meant other guests using the pool and chatting right outside your door can wake you up

Great room and bathroom. Smart TV on the wall if you want to relax and watch something

Weak water stream in the shower, especially in the evening and at night. Staff organized their own parties with friends and made a lot of noise which bothered at night! Almost transparent doors in the toilet — no privacy inside. Very small sink.

The room and the furniture is almost new and in good condition

Stayed in May 2024

Outside seating was beanbags it was probably a bit to far out getting back to property at night was a bit of a challenge

Very quiet area, pool was ok

Stayed in February 2024

Despite of the access to the location is quite dark and scary at night

The staffs hospitality are the best! They are very helpful!

Was not the cleanest place I have stayed in, but wasn’t too bad at all, just the corners etc. and shampoo and shower gel practically empty. Could very much use a mosquito net or zapper in room.

Comfortable bed and nice staff! Staff are willing to help with getting around the island etc and have bikes to rent!

Sometimes the pool is green and you don’t feel like swimming, but they clean it up quickly and it looks good.

The accommodation is superb. The staff is also super friendly. Ziland and Harry care about your comfort. They really do everything they can to provide you with anything you need. They make you feel like family. They’re people with big hearts. I recommend them 100%. You end up feeling at home.

Inconsiderable guest and outside neighbours between 9pm and 3am. Then you have the cockerals at 4am, the mosque at 5am, the local children at 6am and mosquitoes all night !!! 🦟 The front door would not lock and when the owner fidled around and locked it - a few moves - open and insecure ! The basin water tap dribbled like an old man ! 🤣 Bring your jif, mop, bucket and vacuum - don't look under the bed ! If your up for a night, like you have never had before book Bale Datu. My new saying " Embrace the Experience " 🤣

The friendly staff.

SCAM. The owner is a scammer. We rented 2 bikes with the owner for 24 hours and returned them back after dinner. For context, we had already trusted him with the snorkeling tour and could have never imagined he would try to scam us. When we returned them, we were no longer legally responsable because the rental contract was already over. Apart from the fact that we did returned them locked. In the morning he pretended that one bike was gone, and he is the only one who knew the combination of the lock. The 2 bikes were locked with one locker so it doesn’t make sense that they only took one bike. He lied to us, we knew that but we were running out of time as we needed to catch the ferry back to Bali (which he knew - he knew we did not have the time to sort the situation out). He claimed us 2,5 M rph, in the end we only paid the cash we had left which was 5,7 K, and he accepted that without hesitation, which confirmed it was a scam as otherwise he wouldn’t have let us leave without paying. It is really unfair, he took advantage of the trust we pur in him, he had been nice with us since the beginning… - we felt betrayed and used. Besides, he was annoying me and my friend all the time saying to us “beautiful girls”, we did not feel safe at all. This experience ruined our trip to Gili, for that, we recommend you choose another hotel, spend a little more but make sure they are trust worthy. Not professional at all, lying to the clients that also booked the snorkeling trip with them. WE CLAIM OUR MONEY BACK.

nothing at all. Everything was perfect

Very good, nice and cozy place. I really enjoyed that 3 days at Bale DATU. The staff is completely amazing and friendly!

I love everything about this place ❤️

Leaving this place always breaks my heart and I will be coming back asap 💞

Second time I’m staying here, this time almost a month. Nothing compares to this place, it is perfect. The staff is like a family to me, they help you with everything you can think of. Food, bicycle rental, drinks, snorkeling, trips to Lombok, driver, absolutely everything! The place is kept super clean and they clean your room whenever you want. A/c is very efficient, wifi is fast for working/netflix etc, showerhead is big and you also get warm water. Nice swimming pool and common area with big tv and kitchen. You need to try this place and I promise you will fall in love! ❤️

Bed sheets had stains on them as soon as we got there. No room cleaning (but was stated on the booking so we knew) Toilet was loose so every time you sat on the toilet in moved Shower wasn’t hot Was given a laminated sheet with a list of items you can buy which when I asked for water they said they don’t do it? Pool wasn’t open due to being under maintenance however there seemed to be nothing being done to it Could here people outside and in other rooms

Room sizes were ideal and air con was ideal.

Stayed in November 2024

The room could be cleaned better, under the bed was very dirty. The pool should be for visitors only, not staff. Loud music played by staff one night. If I was travelling alone I would not have been comfortable walking to the accommodation at night. Dark, small laneways.

Nice pool, staff were nice.
