We stayed at babaleq during a surf trip to desert point and it was awesome, the owner jhon is an internet technician from the village and was helpful to all our questions and had a good communication in English. The accommodation is simple yet well above Indonesians home stay standard, we felt safe and close to where we needed to be, this place is located in a simple local village in a beautiful bangko bangko bay next to desert point, when traveling you can choose to stay on a luxurious resort or have a true local culture immersion and that was our choice, wish jhon and his family’s all the best as his accommodation business keep growing it will get better and better each and every time a western stays there we being supportive of a local man’s bussines so let’s keep doing it. Aloha!

The building is not finished. it is open to the exterior. Full of mosquitoes. The toilet is not a real toilet. no shower. It was dirty. No hot water.The air-conditioned not work just for looks. I asked if the have a fun.They dont have To get to the place is extremely difficult You need a drit motorcycle or 4w drive car.mud mud mud and rocks.We left the next morning after of little rest .You need a mosquito net if you don't want kill buy mosquitoes. They don't provide mosquito net.

If you are looking for an immersion into the Indonesian culture I would highly recommend staying here. Johns and his family are extremely hospitable. You will eat traditional Indonesian food, attend local ceremonies and be apart of the village for your stay. Highly recommended.

Need a few tables in the main bedroom and a bin. Apart from that everything else is awesome.
