Caroline Guest House

I liked the free water, coffee and tea. The kitchen can also be used. There is also a convenience store in the hotel. The location is within walking distance to the beach and there are many shops, stores and restaurants nearby. The wifi is good.

The size of the room is a little small

Clean and good location

No beer in the shop

A good budget property in a great location, only a short walk to the surfing beaches and close to great restaurants, warungs and shopping etc. The room was clean with fridge and tea making facilities in the room and fresh towels and room cleaned most days. Hot water and cold air conditioning a big plus for comfort levels. It was a lovely quiet hostel (apart from one night with one inconsiderate guest in the early hours). The pool was cold and refreshing and great after hot afternoon explorations. The staff were lovely and happy to accommodate needs and answer questions and available around the clock. Having a laundry on site (at the back of the property) was extra helpful, particularly as we extended our stay for a total of 9 nights.

The building is tired so there are related maintenance issues including the (faint) Bali mould smell most cheaper places carry (which can be mitigated with aircon), but it’s what we have come to expect with the type of accommodation (hostel vs hotel). The water pooled in the shower as the floor now slopes away from the drain, but the daily cleaning dealt with the puddle. Walking through the men’s toilet area to access our room by the pool was a bit weird.

Good location

I had a fixed window in room what you cannot open... hard to get fresh air... Also hot water not working most of time
