This place is absolutely wonderful. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The indoor/outdoor bathroom are beautiful. We were running around Bali and when we found the Balikana we stopped and spent the rest of our vacation there. Mr. Bamz and Mr. Allie were incredibly helpful and made the experience very memorable.. We were all sitting in the cabana and... More

A very laid back spot, clean and comfortable rooms. The Canadian woman who runs adds character and personal care. Flowers are put out every day on your bed, the staff is kind and happy. The beach front is across the way with a perfect snorkeling spot. Relative to the island it is a quiet spot away from the main party... More

We were actually going to another place, much more expensive, but did not reserve in advance. We ended up to the Balikana Boutique, owned by a Canadian, not far from our 1st pick. We wanted to have access to the island activities, without the noise of the bars, the 5:00 AM chanting from the Mosque and the loud noise of... More

We moved here from Karma Kayak, which was also nice but we booked only a few days there and because the beach was not really good at that part of the island we were happy to see Balikana has a pool. I'm surprised to read the negative reviews, our room was huge and clean (at other places the whole bungallow... More

We just experienced paradise! What really impressed us about the Balikana was that it felt like an authentic home, not pretentious at all. We could have been in our own vacation property, that is how comfortable it felt. We chose September to travel not realizing that the beginning of September was considered high season, however we were amazed that Balikana's... More

This place is top dollar for rates but is the worst value for money of any place we have stayed in, in over ten years of visiting Bali and Indonesia. We have stayed at other places on this island paradise for half the price and five times the service and provision of niceties. They make it look good in the... More

This booking was made in person a year prior and the guest knew that there were winding stairs to the beachview rooms, there are choices of downstairs garden rooms without stairs. There was a problem with the ac for one day of the three day stay due to a broken breaker in the power box which was repaired by the... More

We stayed 3 nights in Balikana, 2 nights in a standard room and 1 night in a deluxe room. The hotel is nice, the service is very good, the staff is quite amazing - especially the boys in the beach bar and the food is good. I just regret the location, a bit far from the village - though this... More

We are a dutch family (2 children, 11 and 17 years old) and stayed at Balikana for 2 nights. We loved our stay on the island and especially at Balikana.
