Balong Balong Surf Bungalows & Restaurant

Spacious room, friendly stuff, delicious breakfast and coffee, they rake care of the local street dogs.

Warm water in room did not work, hard mattress

Toll am Strand gelegen.

Die Damen an der Rezeption waren extrem nett. Allerdings waren Sie mit Fragen zum Transport überfordert und konnten nur auf einen Taxidienst oder Mietroller verweisen. Hier wäre mehr Bemühung schön gewesen.

Lovely staff and beautiful location

Soggiorno stupendo!! Posto rilassante in riva al mare. staff molto gentile.

Lovely place to stay. Clean, spacious room. Amazing location right on the beach! The hammocks are great to relax in. The restaurant is lovely and so are the staff!!

Super clean room with everything you need. Really good value for money. Lovely staff and great food. One of our favorite places we've stayed in Indonesia.

Nothing. Its perfect!

Best location and great staff

Sometimes traffic noise was a bit loud. But otherwise fine.

Absolutely beautiful location! The food was absolutely delicious 10/10! Staff lovely

Only thing is rooms are very loud as close to main road

The property is beautiful, well looked after and is situated right on the beach.

He dogs barking at night.

Stunning location, great restaurant

Location, rooms & restaurant

Nothing really

La posizione fantastica il miglior sunset ,la stanza carina il personale fantastico la colazione buonissima e la struttura curata

Ho fatto una sola doccia con l acqua calda , la biancheria poteva essere migliore

Fantastic location, great staff, awesome food selection at a affordable price.

First of all, the staff were very kind and helpful. But it was just in the most amazing location, we found it’s the best end of the beach for swimming. The food included and what the restaurant has too is by far the best in sekongkang we found. We wish we could’ve tried the whole menu. We found lots of people staying in the area came here for food too.

One thing we did find was at night there was occasionally dogs barking out front of the rooms which would wake us up. Also it is near a road and in the morning you can hear bikes, cars etc but I think by that time of the morning it’s good to be up and make the most of the day.

The most amazing location, EVER. Wake up to the most gorgeous scenes of the beach, right on your doorstep. We would go for a beach walk and swim every morning. Close to yo-yos, restaurants, and a great cafe down the road called pico friends. The in house restaurant was incredible, so many options and quality food. Could not recommend this place enough! Beautiful staff aswell

Sehr schön gelegen direkt am Meer. Das Personal war extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben häufig auch das Restaurant genutzt, von dem aus man direkt auf das Meer schaut. Alternativ kann man sich das Essen auf das Zimmer liefern lassen, was sehr entspannt war. In den Bungalows Richtung Meer hat uns das Geräusch der Straße nicht gestört. Wir haben 2x verlängert und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Danke euch :)

The place was great, right on the beach, close to everything! I even had a "special request" for my partner birthday and they helped me! Staff was great and helpful, food was good, view and location were amazing! Totally recommend it and might come back in the future!

Only thing I would say is that the soundproofing is not very good (road noise, dogs, etc). But definitely not a deal breaker, just info to improve (:

Everything was fantastic ! Food menu is broad and everything is delicious. The staff is very kind and thoughtful and man the vue doesn’t get any better

I loved my stay here. The location is perfect and staff was so nice. Would definitely love to come back, thank you 😊

Front beach, very good food, comfortable rooms

I stayed for one week in this little piece of paradise, and it did not disappoint! The property is situated on the beach, looking out to numerous surf breaks, which meant I could check the morning surf while enjoying a gorgeous smoothie bowl. It was easy to rent a bike and explore the neighbouring surf spots and towns — just be aware of the many 4x4 mining trucks that cruise around the area. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. I loved that the room had a mini fridge and complimentary water too :) For food, you have plenty of options, either within walking distance along the beach or just a two-minute bike ride away. I ate at the accommodation every other day and enjoyed the breakfast options, smoothies, and mie goreng. Other highlights included a very cool coffee shop (I can’t remember the name) two minutes up the road and Lisa’s Garden. Finally, I thought the staff were very helpful, positive and all spoke good English. The area and accommodation also seemed to attract a nice mix of people, from surfers to young families, who were all very friendly and up for a chat while watching the sunset. It’s a wonderfully peaceful place, so if you want to escape the crowds and truly unwind, I would highly recommend it.

The only two things I would say is the road is quite noisy in the mornings, and my room let a lot of light in due to there being no curtains for the top windows. I am being very picky though and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Personnel adorable, petits déjeuners et repas fabuleux, vue exceptionnelle

The beachfront and the hammock area. Also I liked that there is a ceiling fan in the room. Finally not only AC option but fan too.

The noise. As it is close to the main road from 6am it is impossible to sleep because of the super laud traffic. The room which is close to the restaurant might have less noise.

We loved our stay at Bolong Bolong. 1. The staff is super lovely, just so helpful everytime you need something 2. It's right by the beach, we already miss having our morning coffee under a palm tree looking out at the ocean 3. The restaurant has actually the BEST food in the area, maybe in all of Sumbawa. Salmon tacos and duck ramen? Yes please!! 4. Loved that the room had a desk.

Bring earplugs as its quite close to the main road :)

Balong balong is an amazing retreat in west sumbawa, very clean accommodation and breakfast included was amazing every day. The staff is super friendly, and really you cannot beat the location right on the beach!

Superbe emplacement, vue à couper le souffle sur l’océan ! Magnifique endroit au bord de la plage et à proximité du spot de surf. Mention spéciale pour le restaurant, nous nous sommes régalés ! Bravo.

Le logement était très bien mais il serait indispensable d’installer une moustiquaire dans la chambre, en raison des nombreux moustiques le soir et la nuit. Aussi aucunes planches de surf disponibles à la location car elles étaient semble-t-il toutes en réparation. Mais nous n’avions pas eu cette information à notre reservation et arrivée, dommage. Un conseil, venez avec votre planche de surf.

Very nice and beautiful location just a front of the ocean. Lovely view from restaurant. Cosy area, good food, amazing beach with white sands.

Problems with electricity, many times was off, even we couldn’t get shower, it was annoying a bit.

Location beautiful Food amazing

The location and food at Balong Balong is stunning. Sometimes places you book are average compared to the online photos but Balong Balong was the opposite. We were so impressed when we arrived and the views are breathtaking. The food at the restaurant was at the highest of standards. We tried a lot of restaurants in sumbawa but decided most nights to stay at the accommodation as the food was better!

The location was incredible, the rooms were spacious and clean, the dogs were so much fun and the staff are kind and helpful. We ate our way through the menu at the restaurant and had some of my favourite food of my holiday. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

Everything was incredible! We extended our stay 3 times because we loved it so much! Incredible views, swimming, food and the sunsets were the best. Also very cute dogs

Awesome location great set up medium sleep

quieter more comfortable beds

Very nice location just in front of the beach with great views. You can go surfing to a lot of spots in the area and even see Yo-yos from the restaurant. Food is good and cheap and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

A bit noisy at night

Everything!! Is just perfect

Location and Staff. Probably the best location in the area with staff that make you feel like family.

Road noise. Not complaining as I knew the location is on a corner of a main road. 10 pm - 5 am there is minimal road noise. If you are sensitive to noise please be aware and don't complain if you stay here.

很放鬆

Nothing

La posizione magnifica, ma solo una camera fronte mare

Arrivati alle 21.34 al ristorante dopo 4 ore di viaggio ci hanno detto che l'ultima ordinazione era alle 21 30!!!

La posizione è perfetta e a due passi da una splendida spiaggia, e perfetta per vedere il tramonto! La struttura è molto bella, la camere nuove accoglienti e pulite lo staff molto attento e gentile! Anche il ristorante è molto buono consiglio di provare il sushi!

La vue, la gentillesse du personnel toujours disponible, la localisation, la propreté… tout quoi ! Très bon restau aussi

Rien !!

The location of this place was amazing. The staff super friendly and the sunsets incredible. I hired a surfboard from them but managed to break it when I got dumped. They were very fair with it all and were concerned if I was okay. The dogs here are so charming. Lots of other tourists and some FIFO workers here. A very nice place to relax and unwind for a few days. Was great to have heaps of water in the rooms. And could swim right out the front of the resort. Would check out Lisa’s Garden if looking to get out for a meal.

I’m easily pleased.

We Absolutely loved our stay here. Food is good, accommodation is good, staff is very lovely and helpful. It's a beautiful place to be, clean beach out front. Would highly recommend anyone to stay here if you going to West Sumbawa. When we are coming back this is the place to go. To the balong balong staff - keep up your good work you guys are absolutely the best. Big shout out to Eldi, he's the man.

The acommodation was amazing! Wonderful location in front of the beach watching the ocean. you can hear the ocean in your bed. very friendly staff. perfect for also relaxing and have some quiet days if you are not surfing. Loved to stay there.

The view out the front of the property is perfect. Rooms are nice, good size, fridge, kettle. Food in restaurant is incredible.

Only thing was my room backed onto the road, so a little bit noisy at times!

Amazing!! Photos don’t do this place justice. Location, staff and food were 10/10. Can’t wait to come back soon!

The staff were super lovely and welcoming. And the surf is amazing

Food, menu, location, bed.

Too close to the road, some rooms are super super noisy.

Helpful and friendly staff , great food and service , very clean . Amazing views

I loved everything about the property

great food, nice staff, beautiful beach

more beach cleaning needed unfortunately

We originally booked 1 week just in case we wanted to move somewhere else for the other 2 weeks, but after the first day we realised that we were at the right spot and booked the other 2 weeks. Location excellent, staff friendly and helpful, cute dogs 🐶 ❤️, food is delicious, fantastic views and the most spectacular sunset spot for sundowners … we loved it and will be back again next year … thank you Balong Balong 🙏

Beautiful place right in front at the beach. The room is super big with a fridge and the bathroom is also amazing. I really enjoyed to stay here and I’m sure I will be back. Lovely staff, great food , beautiful sunsets!! Love this place so much.

Incredible location, stunning views of the bay, close to Yo-yo’s and other surf spots which can be reached by scooter. Breakfast included was delicious and the food served in the restaurant was outstanding…. All freshly cooked and clearly made with love. All the staff are friendly and helpful. They look after some cute dogs too which I love.

There isn’t anything I didn’t like, if I had to say anything it would be that the toilet in our room didn’t look clean, it was cleaned everyday we bought bleach and toilet brush to try and clean the stains but it wouldn’t come off. A swimming pool would be a fantastic addition but not a deal breaker.

Great location right on the beach. Amazing sunsets. Staff were very friendly and helpful Room was clean, everything worked. Restaurant is reasonable price and very tasty.

Staff were very helpful and kind Food was amazing Rooms were good

A little loud at night but that isn’t properties fault.
