incredible location. very clean and well maintained. Staff are absolutely lovely and super accommodating. we have stayed at Blue Star twice and look forward to staying again in the future.

Excellent location for snorkelling! Can’t get any closer to Jemeluk beach and the underwater temple. We had a family room which was spacious and had a view of the ocean too! We had both dinner and breakfast, the food was delicious.

A bit ‘tired’ but everything was clean and staff were lovely.

amazing location, wonderful friendly staff

accomodation is not ideal for young children

The location was excellent and the staff were wonderful. The facilities are a little tired and could use some love, but overall a great value for the cost. The restaurant was right on the beach and a great spot to spend the day and evening. Plus, the best part was the amazing reef just in front of the hotel that you could explore from beach! Overall a great little gem for the price. Highly recommend

The facilities could use a little upgrade but for the price it was a great value.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We've been fully nomadic for over a year and sometimes we just need to stay put, work, plan, etc. and some daily snorkeling wouldn't hurt! The staff is so friendly and welcomed us like family. Our airport transfer went well, the room met expectations, and the reef is lovely. Even in the middle of rainy season we had some sunshine here and there and a few days of nice visibility in the water. We never left the property because the restaurant is convenient with good variety of options and fair prices. The location is impossible to beat with direct beach access and the reef just below. We loved it and would stay again!

Our toilet did not have the attached sprayer which seems typical in this region, but no big deal.

Surprised by how nice this hotel is...large almost colonial Asian style...great surrounding pool and garden...pool table, table tennis...great breakfast, great value...

The staff. The most helpful and friendly we have come across in our travels through Bali.

some exposed wiring across pathway - during torrential downpour looked dangerous

welcoming staff, great location for snorkeling and relaxing on beach.

Amed beach in general needs to be cleaned up. The plastic rubbish along the beach is upsetting. fortunately it’s not as bad near Blue Star.

Location, right on the beach for some of the best snorkeling. Great cafe, and rooms had everything you need. Clean. Loved the coffee and tea brought to the room daily. Could have stayed longer.

Ideally located for snorkeling, very clean rooms, beach lounge chairs in good state, staff extremely helpful and friendly, rooms bright and spacious.

While ideally located for snorkeling, it is 2km away from everything else. But with a scooter no problem

The location was amazing, right on the beach of one of the most sought after snorkelling places in Ahmed. The Coral and fish life is abundant and amazing. Petiole were playing for snorkelling and diving tours to come to this location and it was at our door step. The staff were amazing and Dharmi will definitely take care of you with lots of ideas for any sightseeing in the area. Definitely coming back.

Nothing

Location right on the beach for snorkeling is outstanding. There are lounges to use on the beach and the restaurant is open breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff are lovely; a friendly family run place. Appreciated having the flask of hot water and coffee delivered at 6:30am to our balcony.

Furniture and bathroom are old style but perfectly servicable. A bit of a drain smell at times in the bathroom but you can keep the door shut and it was cleaned each day.

Perfect location.

I loved the location, the second room I was in was comfortable and clean. They staff were very helpful.

The first room I was put in was old and quite dirty. The room also had a bad smell. After I brought up my concerns they moved me to a different room which was a lot better.

Interaction with the staff was amazing, food was good & very close to ferry if you happen to be going to Lombok or Gili Island's. Loved our stay in Amed.

Showers could do with a little tlc, you could have a hot shower but I think the shower rose could do with replacing.

Friendly family atmosphere. A home away from home. Exceptional value. Best snorkling on Bali.

the accommodation is a basic but comfortable, the staff where amazing, they did not have kettles in the rooms, so they delivered thermos of tea a coffee each morning and we sat on the balcony to start the day. Nothing was too much trouble, the truly assisted us for the duration of the stay

Don't really need a bath in the bathroom, better to have a open shower, bath very old and marked. but my biggest issue was the bath towels they were horrible, very hard, did not like at all. Upgrades to the bathroom would greatly improve guest comfort at this unique little gem.

Directly at a wonderful beach for snorkelling.

'Come as a visitor, leave as a friend ' is their motto and that's exactly what we felt. So welcoming and accomodating. The view, food and drinks, out of this world. THE PERFECT PLACE TO RELAX

Can't think of anything

An absolutely fabulous location for relaxing on the beach and snorkeling. Easy beach access for snorkeling at the reef and underwater temple. The room was comfortable and lovely. The warung was delicious. The staff were so helpful and kind. Iluh the masseuse at their spa across the street was incredible. Everything there was perfect and all I needed, so I never left the property for anything…making for an amazing relaxing beach stay.

As a family, we really loved the open two story room with the kids staying up the stairs and being able to see us below while we got some privacy as well. The staff is fantastic and warm water and coffee/tea is brought to the balcony every morning before anyone wakes up. Breakfast was great - lovely pancakes and fresh fruit. The snorkling form the bay is amazing (go in high-tide though - reef can be tricky). A bonus is to ask the staff for fresh caught fish and have them grill it for you on the beach at a cheap price (not on menu but common along the warungs on the beach - especially recommend the Mahi-Mahi).

The medical clinics and hospital nearby aren't great. Suffering from a bacterial blood poisoning (cut on dead corals at beach edge) I had to tell the doctors what to do. Nothing with the hotel though - they were so concerned and there all the way. Amazing staff and people!

Beautiful location in Jemeluk Bay. Fabulous terrace where the staff put a thermos of hot water every morning for coffee. Then a wonderful breakfast of fruit and homemade bread and jam. ( omelette if you wish).. Snorkel after breakfast in front of the bungalows.

Cleaner shower?

This is a very relaxed and absolutely comfortable accommodation. Entrance to property might be a bit discouraging, but don't be put off by a first glance. Our ;bungalow' was probably a size of 100 square metres, simple but spotless clean. Restaurant with a wide ocean view, beach umbrella and chairs reserved for you. We loved the place, as regardless of time you woke up, you could simply march to the sea snorkelling for a new adventure...Great snorkelling just directly in front of Blue Start Cafe, no currents. They are renting all snorkelling sets, or parts if you are in a need of one. You are in a need of laundry service or massage, no problem, you'll get it on spot. Food is simple but tasty, they really do care for you. We very much enjoyed selection of fresh fruit here. This is not a resort, don't expect night parties. This is a family run place where you can relax with your kids and get a touch of local life.

that we stayed just 2 nights...

Great location for snorkelling

Disgusting bathroom. Mouldy buildings. Poorly maintained hotel.
