Taum Resort Bali

Staffs were very friendly. Room was cosy and clean but very smelly. It must be old resort.

Hotel was dirty and it was a struggle to get my money back to go to better accommodation.

Horrible , gross.

This is the second time we have stayed at this hotel and were quite disappointed this time around. The hotel appears that it hasn’t been very well looked after. A large amount of the building looks very weathered (mouldy, broken, dirty), the pool had a huge amount of broken tiles and the timbered outdoor flooring was very broken and smashed up. Whilst staying at Taum our room wasn’t cleaned on 3 seperate occasions and when it was cleaned there were always things missing (bottles of water, towels etc) We stayed at Taum this time around as we knew from the first time that it was a good cheap hotel. We now know that’s it’s just cheap. Would recommend staying elsewhere for a similar price.

I stayed here over new year with another couple - we had two rooms - mine had a pool facing balcony which was nice. The room was large, although the condition was looking a little tired. The room safe worked. The air con wasn’t very cool (living in Asia I know how cool air con can be). The door lock wasn’t reliable - the key card failed to unlock on more than one occasion - my friends were locked out of their room for over 30 minutes.. the bed was relatively comfortable, the quality of the plumbing wasn’t amazing - taps moved when they shouldn’t. The room service plates from two days previous were still outside my room on departure. The bathroom was full of small black flies (not mosquitos) - we have them in Malaysia - and a small dose of pesticide is needed from time to time to keep them at bay. The soap dispensers were empty in both rooms for the duration of the stay. The tissue boxes when empty would be refilled with 2-3 tissues. It all felt as though they were dramatically cost cutting at the expense of the guests. The WiFi was intermittent. But the view to the pool in my room was nice. The staff on reception were friendly - but had an overall impression of this hotel being just ok. The area being the tourist centre could get quite busy - so getting around was better by foot - taxis took a lifetime to arrive and drive through the streets. Would I stay again? If these minor improvements were addressed maybe - but for now it’s a no from me.
