I like this place, a great place for holiday. A quite beach and not too many visitors. Like having your own beach.
You can playing banana boat, speed boat, etc with your friends or family.response / report this review -

We go here every year for the last 4 years and WILL NEVER DO SO EVER AGAIN The management is not present at all on site. So whatever problem you encounter on the spot, you get only text from them who "try" to help you. The only time they really try to help you is when choosing the bungalow and giving payment instructions!
This is why problems arise. People tend to rent the bungalows and think they have the rights to do whatever they they want - because they are the guests and they paid for it.
What they seem to not care is the rules or even simple act of symphaty!
Bungalows are rented out at about 3 millions per night. But there is no rule to keep 30 people (or even more) staying in one bungalow at the same time to share the cost.
Consequently, for the last 3 years, there was always a neighbour bungalow having party with gigantic sound system until late at night or even 4 am in the morning!
The worst was our last time there. Our neighbour decided to do big karaoke and the bungalow was full of at least 20 ladies mid age. We tried to wait until 12 at midnight so they could enjoy.
But it didnt stop. So we tried to talk to thebsecurity guards. They lied to us that they will do something. We tried to talk directly and NICELY to the neighbour ourselves. No single f**ks were given@
And there i was walking in the middle of the night to the "nearest" police station.
They stopped after police came.
But continued the music at 6 AM in the morning as loud as they could possibly do - just for revenge.
When we complained about this to the management, the only reply we got was they're sorry for the inconvenience. And sambolo bungalows are not for parties. SOOOO??? WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT THEN???????????response / report this review -

Completely derelict, this place has no business pretending to belong to the hospitality industry. It is hard to understand how the rating on Google Maps can be 3.9 (June 2017)
I imagine that this place was built about 20 years ago, probably before the Asian Currency Crisis of 1997 and IF at that time, you would have been told that all that's provided is basic shelter, then it would have been ok to go there.
But we're no longer in the '90s and Sambolo Cottages is a forlorn, unmaintained, mismanaged place that's definitely not worth the exorbitant price asked for it (I booked on Agoda and was asked for 3.2 jt Rp. for 2 nights).
The huts - cottages is a much too positive word for what they are - are sloppily built of raw sawed planks, covered with what must be a leaky thatched roof during the rainy season. Most of them are in bad disrepair, some are in ruins.
Located between two small streams, (meaning open air sewers) the water at the beach is muddy, slimy and carries much plastic garbage.
Apparently, we rented the best cottages at Gate H, meaning that two huts have been varnished and fitted with split A/C in the bedrooms.
It is difficult to understand if the place has "staff":
We first stopped at Gate C, since there were signs along the road that the "office" is there; we were told that no one knew about our booking and upon seeing the printed Agoda booking, we were sent to Gate H, as it's "a different company".
There (and granted, that was during Ramadan) we had to rouse about half a dozen scraggly half-sinister guys sleeping in one of the huts who started sweeping our hut before we could move in.
No maintenance : when we asked why half of the lights didn't work, the guys went and bought lightbulbs from one of the nearby convenience stores that litter Java.
No hygiene : the water that trickles down the shower head smells of rotten eggs and there is hardly enough water pressure anyway to shower or clean half-decently.
No food : that could be ok IF it was clear at the beginning. As it was, we only had snacks and besides the convenience store, nowhere to buy food.
No facilities (a beach hustler suggested a half day boat trip to Krakatau for 4.5 jt Rp!)
I could go on and on, but the pictures I took will speak for themselves.
The best I can say about Sambolo Cottages is: super basic.response / report this review -

Best place for family and friends vacation.
My first day here, it's not too crowded but at the second day there are many local tourist who are not guest came here. It should be forbidden but the manager didn't act.
There also need some maintenance for the house especially there are so many leak roof.
One night there's a heavy rain and the water got in to the house and flood the living area. It's very inconvenienced.
So bad :(response / report this review
