Reviews for Tulamben Backpacker

Review 1：Nothing, me and my 3 friends had a great stay! Only wish we had longer!

Review 2：The girl Abbie who works here was a great host, more than helpful when it came to recommendations, even sorting us out with Chinese medicine after an accident on our motorbike. Would definitely recommend staying here, the rooms are lovely, spacious and very clean.

Review 3：location is in the up hill. there is no road for people walking in the major road. if you want to go out for buying something. many cars and motobikes went fast beside you.

Review 4：very praticable design of the hotel constructure. people were nice. room have big space. the breakfasts were delicious.

Review 5：It's on a windy main road with no lights so it's a little daunting to go out at night but that is just the same everywhere around tulamben.

Review 6：The staff were friendly and really went the extra mile to help us. Moped hire is cheap and the food is decent. It's a little out of the way but a very nice place to stay.

Review 7：a little ant in the room , but the stuff help us to change the other room ,but not near the Tulemben beach , but rent a moto , no moto in Tulemen hard to go anywhere.

Review 8：can see the sunrise from the ocean and the start ,Mt Agunt , nice food , great breakfast and large room for us

Review 9：Unfortunately, we found that our room was rather dirty, the facilities were run down and the hotel was located further away from Tulamben than we had expected. The hotel showed signs of it once being a lively dive hostel but there was no bar (although you could buy beer from the downstairs area) or working dive facilities (although they can arrange this for you) and we did not see the spa facilities. This hotel has heaps of potential but we were disappointed that the huge banner stating 'dive resort and spa' was not backed up by the facilities within the resort.

Review 10：The staff were friendly, helpful and kind and created a relaxed atmosphere. There was a good internet connection in the upstairs common area and the food from the daily menu was well cooked and tasty. It served us well as a cheap stop gap between arriving in Tulamben and then moving to a dive resort within the area. After researching an appropriate location and resort for diving, we moved to the Maharti Dive Resort and Spa.

Review 11：WiFi does not work in the room as mentioned by other reviewers, not impressed with continental breakfast, got charged for a second coffee (refill) at breakfast. Also it is quite far from the beach, you need a motorbike

Review 12：Big room, relatively clean, liked the stone wall bathroom, clean swimming pool, nice surroundings, cosy lounge, staff very friendly.

Review 13：The staff barely spoke English, out of their menu half the things were not available. The included breakfast was a plain pancake and watery tea. The water stopped working every 5 minutes and you had to asked the staff all the time to please switch it back on... The location is not good either, since you have to walk 10-15 minutes along the street to get to the village of Tulamben. Overall not worth staying there.

Review 14：Room was large and relatively clean.

Review 15：The local staff is great and goes to great lengths to smooth out the problems.

Review 16：We weren't able to enjoy our stay at Bali Spark. It's a place owned by a Czech family which have different standards when it comes to maintenance and hospitality compared to the Balinese locals. There are rats inside the ceiling, running around at nights making a lot of noise and the rooms have holes in the corners with brown liquid oozing out - just a matter of time when they're big enough to allow them to pass inside the room. Cockroaches did manage to drop inside and they are big, but slow. This property need some renovation to be done instantly as it could well be a great resort if they really wanted to make an effort. The breakfast is the worst one I've had in all Indonesia - a cup of lombok coffee OR juice and two slices of toast with one fried egg OR fried rice from last night. As a comparison, another resort in Tulamben with the same price offers freshly made juice, fruits, bacon, omelette and toast plus as much coffee you want. There's a party or a loud movie night every day past midnight in the bar which is right next to the rooms - it just doesn't work when you've come to the Tulamben which offers amazing sunrise dives 5.45am, it's not a place for late night havoc. The resort is right next to the busy main road unlike most of the other resorts, so the road noise starts at 7am and continues until dark. If you've come for diving or to relax, book your room somewhere else.

Review 17：the shops, ATM, beach were steep walks away from the resort.

Review 18：the staff, run by Anna were very helpful and caring, the resort was clean , well presented and quiet. the pool was great. food was wonderful

Review 19：Water in pool was a little bit green.

Review 20：The hotel was very clean and in general in a good condition. The staff was present, very helpful, kind and english speaking. Good food for reasonable prices. Laundry service was available too.

Review 21：Staff are very friendly and helpful. They drive us with scooters and very nice trip.the room are so clean and big windows, lovely vies to the oceans. The pool is good for dive courses. Available healthy food for my 2 years old kids and baby. Overall that's great. I recommend for other traveler. Thanks Bali Spark.

Review 22：Wifi reception in distant rooms is almost none, you need to sit outside.

Review 23：Friendly staff, they organize diving trips, czech food specials, nice place with pool. Not so far from dark sand beach and reefs.

Review 24：They lie about: Wi-Fi (avaible only in public zones) Visa/MasterCard (they don't accept cards) in addition: — the food is of average quality; — ants in the rooms; — only 1 hair dryer in the hotel; — the rooms have no blankets.

Review 25：— pool; — price.

Review 26：Czech owner is crazy, she yelled at us thinking that we've broke the scooters. Luckly the locals have arranged everything's for us and we didn't got charged

Review 27：Room are clean and comfy. Personal is really kind

Review 28：Be careful with a Balinese guy who is kind of mananger, I tried to book the Perama bus from there to Ubud and they told me they could not call to this company giving me a lot of excuses. After that, this guy came to talk to me and said that the bus was not running anymore in Tulamben therefore I should take a taxi (450.000 rp). I suspected he was trying to trick me so I went to the main part of Tulamben and discovered the Perama bus (175.000 rp) and I took it. Thus, I would not recomend to trust in this guy because he can lie and make you pay more for the same service.

Review 29：Pool

Review 30：I wish wi-fi was available throughout the resort. It was sort of a pain to have to go to one area just to have access.

Review 31：The staff was very accommodating and the grounds are clean and well kept. The pool bar looked fun although we didn't get to try it out.

Review 32：Everything was bad, bed was so dusty. The bar was just outside the rooms! They blast the music so loud till 2am and the management didnt do anything! Making so much noise and i cant sleep well.. Mosquitoes are everywhere! I would not recommend this to my friends!

Review 33：Food poisoning from restaurant No contract or insurance for rentals: be careful! Personnel: indifferent at best, aggressive at worst

Review 34：Quiet, a little bit outside the city (10min walk)

Review 35：- No Kettle, no safe - Non English speaking staff ( Asked for a cup of hot water, got a hot watermelon juice ....) - Waiting time after order ( at least 1/2 hour) even if you're the only customer. - Really average food.. nothing bad but nothing special, small portion and quiet expensive. - Really dirty pillows, didn't have any pillow cases when we arrived. - Heaps of spiders, aunts, and dead gecko in the bedroom.
