Balikpapan BSB Beach Hotels

"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"

"In general every went smooth during our stay at Four Point Stay. All the staff very helpful. "

"This property was a masdive disappointment..i arrived at night and reception unmanned with a phone number to call..but i had just arrived in the country with no phone service. Finally someone came and gave me a key..the smell hit me as i opened the door..awful stink coming from under the sink..old dirty rags wet through mopping up a leaky sink.the pillows stank of stale sweat..they needed throwing out..shower had hot water for 2 minutes then nothing and no soap or shampoo provided..the white bathtowels were grey and ragged..general decor of the room was sad and tatty..the tv didnt work and the wifi kept dropping off literally every 10 minutes. Overall the apartment was not well maintained or cared for..just a source of income for the owner. I booked 3 nights but checked after 1 night...im not over fussy with accomodation but this place should not be offered to travellers..dont stay here!"

"The staff are so friendly, polite and helpful. I had arranged a pick up but my flight was delayed by over an hour. I managed to let them know and when I arrived at the airport the lovely young man from the hotel was there waiting for me. They let me change my room as the first one was near the lift and due to being a light sleeper moved me to a room further away which was perfect. The room was clean and the bed super comfy. If I ever travel back here would definitely stay again 😊"

"Room was comfortable, view of the ocean nice. Shower good. Food was good, except in the morning, the breakfast buffet was not ready at 6 am, no warm food."
