Babulu Vacation Packages

This is a backpackers hotel. It is not luxury but it has what you need and is reasonably clean. If you are looking for a great budget hotel to stay in for a long stay and dont care about ammenities its the perfect spot

Very disappointing

All good. Except the free shuttle. It's only at certain times of the day. But a taxi is like $2. All good

The check-in and check-out process was very easy and fast without a deposit. The FO gave me a room with a nice view, the sea and the pool. The room was clean, the AC was cold, the shower was very strong. but now they don't provide bar soap, shower cap, toothbrush in the bathroom but when you check in, they will ask for this and if you need it, they will give it to you. everything is ok, only the security in front of the lobby door must be alert if guests bring a lot of luggage. There is no need to ask whether they need help carrying the suitcase or not. I think it's better to just help directly without having to ask. Novotel Balikpapan, January 5, 2026

Staff is friendly, breakfast is great, amenities are great, airport transportation is always available.
