Pondok Pisces Bungalows Balian Beach

Very original accomodation, you have your own small house with a perfect view of the surf spot, bathroom is outside but very clean , you have access to a small kitchen with fridge, drinkable water and some cookings tools.

Can be noisy because of the frogs in the outside pound at night but if you have a deep sleep it will be fine !

The view was lovely stretching to the beach, the bungalow is peaceful and a nice, simple getaway. At night you can hear the ocean soaring. Good price/quality ratio overall. The people at the place are friendly and really forthcoming.

In general the place might benefit from some renovations (easily working water pump/shower) or especially getting rid of the ants, which seem to live deep inside the house. They come out at times in large amounts, making the place which is in general very quaint an unpleasant and kind of gross experience.

Good things: - Balian main surf point overview from the balcony. - Walking distance to the surf point. - Spacious balcony. - A big refrigerator. - People are nice. - Affordable price. - Room cleaning in every 3 days.

Bad things: - Rats, which bite every possible food-like package. They also poop around everywhere. Five rats were caught by trap during my stay. - Ants, which have a big network deep inside the wooden house. They form a big line when they got a job. Wood power is piled up on room edges because of their work. - Lizards, which crawl on ceiling at night. No significant threat compared to the others. It's just creepy to see them crawling if you are not used to (well, you will get used to in 3 days). You get poop rain sometimes. Advice to feature customers: - Keep any food or food-like packages inside the refrigerator otherwise they'll be bitten and destroyed. - Buy a insect spray from local store and use it when ants start working. It can seal the working path for a while. - Prepare a pair of sandals for the inside room. Waring them makes you comfortable by keeping your foot clean especially when you go to bed. Request to the owner: - I understand that it's a rural, traditional lodge and some nature is involved. But even taking them into considerations, the cleanliness and hygiene levels are unsatisfactory. I'm not saying it has to be perfect but there is a big space to improve. I'm looking forward to seeing improvements next time.

The Location ist good so close to the beach with seaview but also next to the street with alot of scooters pasing in the morning. Its a very basic cool cottage with an outside bathroom.The ocean air and sound is blowing through the room.

The big problems was the blood stains on the sheats. It also felt a bit bothering that the staff had my whatsapp and texted me in the evening when I arrived and continuesly in the morning. Maybe they should let the guests that are mostly coming to relax in peace.

everything about the place...

its the best view in Balian beach for sure

the water pump does not work and the way to make it work is using the bum gun! yes you wanna wash your hand while cooking you gotta go to the toilet and turn your bum gun… sounds great?!

The price is really good, the staff will clean rooms any time asked to do so ;) Great view with breeze on the terrace
