Bali Buleleng Hotels

Just came back to my home country from Bali, finally it’s time for some hotel reviews. Checked in really late that day but there is 24 hours reception counter so not a problem. I have myself a garden view room, so please expect there will some noise coming from the lower floors if you are a light sleeper then this is something you need to consider. So far my room is okay except I saw a lizard in my room and ants coming from nowhere (nothing but accidentally poured over some water nothing sweet also). There are two universal power points by each side of the bed which come very handy so you don’t need to bring your own universal adapter but in my case one of the right side just not functioning.

Nice hotel! It is a great value for money! 1. Location is very good: - the beach is in a 5-10 minute walk; - supermarket is in a 5-minute walk; - there are a lot of cafes around hotel; 2. The room is spacious and clean. There is a parking for cars and bikes. The hotel is quite, there are around rice field.d 3. Breakfast is good, but modest Eventually, I recommend this place!

We stayed one night at RedDoorz Hotel before our dolphin tour in Lovina. It was a simple but pleasant stay clean room, working air conditioning, and friendly management. Great value for the price!

Previously pop hotel, this beachfront hotel is most value hotel in singaraja Water pressure is better on lower floor room

We had a nice and comfortable stay. The place was clean, and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious. We were only there for a night as we had to wake up early for dolphin watching in Lovina. The only bad part was finding the place, it’s not on the main road and the road leading there was pretty dark and located inside a housing area.

Not a bad budget hotel for one night. Good pool, cozy veranda for breakfast. Not a bad standard breakfast. Nice staff. Good price-quality ratio.

It is very easy to find on the side of the road, half an hour away from Rowena Beach. The environment is OK, you can see the sea in the backyard of his house. I smelled the smell of light soot at night, and I couldn't accept the allergy of rhinitis. In the morning of the store, I saw dolphins + hanging drift (see dolphins 50, hanging drift 50, the result of the boat booked at 6 o'clock on the second day was delayed (the reason given is that the weather is bad, can not go to the sea) and finally had to go to Rowena Beach to spend more than 200 yuan, chartered the sea. Remember, it is not necessarily reliable to see dolphins at the homestay. Be sure to book on the official website of Trip.com .

I forgot to take a photo of the hotel. The backyard leads directly to the beach, and the swimming pool is relaxing. The price is not expensive. The hygiene is also OK, and the filter element has not changed color. 4 people chartered a boat and float for 600k. No need to make an appointment and negotiate the price directly with the captain. It is the first choice for chasing dolphins. The small shop at the intersection is quite delicious, 18k for a serving of chicken fried rice.

## Check-in Convenience Regarding check-in convenience, if you're staying in Lovina, this place is quite recommended. It's a resort with both villa and standard room areas, and the front desk is open 24/7. So, no matter how late you check in, you won't be left confused, and there's always someone available to assist you with any questions! (However, for my second stay, I need to be clear about a few things so you can judge for yourselves.) ## Safety The security here is generally higher than a private guesthouse. However, if you're staying in a villa, especially as a couple, do be extra cautious. The doors are opened with a key, and the main entrance to the room is an old-fashioned Chinese wooden door with an equally old-fashioned locking mechanism. Safety first when you're traveling! Also, if your villa is on the edge of the property, there might be an iron gate leading to the beach. Make sure to double-check that this door is securely locked before you go to bed. Other sliding doors have standard latches. (Again, safety first!) ## Facilities This was my second stay here, and my first visit was completely pleasant! This time, however, I had no hot water, and the water pressure was extremely low, meaning I couldn't even take a hot shower on the first night! My impression of the place immediately plummeted. We had specifically asked our Ctrip agent to arrange an extra bed with the hotel in advance and ensure it was placed in the room before our arrival. We arrived at 3 AM, and they charged us for the extra bed, but it wasn't in the room! We had to go to the front desk, and only then did they remember to set it up for us! And here’s the most outrageous part: the 'extra bed' was just a mattress! I paid an additional 400 (currency not specified) for just a mattress. Given that they didn't even put it in the room beforehand and I had to go to the front desk to sort it out, we suspected they simply thought three girls could share a 1.8-meter bed. It felt like they charged us more for an 'extra bed' without actually providing one. Completely unacceptable! If you plan to use the swimming pool, I'd suggest you also ask Ctrip to communicate with them in advance to ensure it's cleaned. Since it's an outdoor pool, it inevitably collects leaves and dirt. Make sure it's spotless before you get in! ## Service Regarding the service, I have a few points to make: 1. **Check-in experience**: Honestly, regarding the extra bed, the hotel displayed a 'we'll only act if you push us' attitude. 2. If you've booked a villa room, make sure to ask for your complimentary drink vouchers! (Standard rooms don't receive free drinks). 3. **Arranging transportation**: I recall during my first stay, a hotel staff member told me they could drop us off in town for free, but pick-up would be charged. This time, however, that complimentary drop-off service was no longer available! We didn't want the hassle of finding a taxi ourselves, so we let them take us. A Grab ride would have cost 35,000 IDR, but they charged us 75,000 IDR – more than double! It was outrageous. So, it's better to arrange your own transport, even if it means a bit more effort. 4. The lack of hot water was reported multiple times, but despite their attempts to fix it, there was no lasting solution. We eventually called Ctrip to request a room change. Only after the platform communicated with the hotel was the hot water finally repaired! 5. **The hotel breakfast!** I really don't understand what happened. During my first stay, I was directly given a menu to order à la carte dishes. This time, without even asking, I was directed straight to the buffet breakfast. (When I inquired with a staff member, she said: 'Villa guests can order à la carte, but standard room guests can only have the buffet.') However, the quality control between the two is just not on the same level! What's more, I noticed many other guests weren't aware that an à la carte menu was even an option. I truly can't comprehend how they let things get to this point! ## Environment The overall hotel environment is quite lovely. It boasts its own private beach and tree-lined paths that feel like a natural oxygen bar. It’s very comfortable, and having breakfast by the sea in the morning is incredibly relaxing! The room's interior environment is also decent, though there were some minor issues like peeling paint on the walls. I didn't take many detailed photos as I was mostly focused on enjoying the scenery (after all, you can't let a few inconveniences spoil your entire trip!).

Location was good, close to main road and also the beach yet tucked away, quiet and peaceful. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, I came here with my husband & daughter and we loved it! Huge space, with a decent pool, lots of area for kids to run around & parents to sit and chill. Room was super clean, ac was cold, bathroom was clean and the water heater works perfect. We came to Lovina by car and realised it’ll be so much easier to get around on a bike so he helped us get a bike to rent with very affordable price. Highly recommend this place for couples, families, or solo travellers. Certainly worth the price, and will come back for sure!
