    Breakfast could be bigger, it's not a very sociable hostel as there aren't many places to hang out outside the rooms. There's no hot water in the shower

    The bungalows are nice, each bed gets a locker and a towel. There's kitchen access, water refills and tea/coffee available all the time.

    - could be cleaner - the beds and the mattresses definitely could be more comfortable - the person who takes care of the place really doesn’t speak English and he’s not very helpful, but the owner it’s very nice and kind and he lives just next to the property

    + I absolutely loved the vibe in the Hostel, because of the people + the owner was very helpful + good location in the city + cute common area

    The doors to the room and bathroom were quite loud and creaky even when trying to be very quiet (just made it uncomfortable for others sleeping when we came back from a late night out)

    The bed was super comfy and the location was close to a lot of yummy restaurants and shops (still helpful to have a bike to get to other beaches, bars and restaurants further in town). There was a free breakfast which I didn’t have due to going for early surfs but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. There was quite a social vibe in the chairs in front of each room and around the court yard. The checkin process was also very easy.

    Bathroom can be a bit cleaner

    Great to connect with people and for the price its great, the garden is nice and the huts look nice, location is pretty ok, you can walk to the center in about 10 to 15 minutes. No fancy stuff like swimming pool, fancy bathroom or cool bar or restaurant but you can find that elsewhere. Beds are ok.

    The beach is 30 minutes along a dusty road. Unstable wi-fi. Zero hospitality, cold neutral attitude. After a month of traveling around Indonesia, I got used to everyone smiling, not just those involved in tourism. It was noisy, a child was screaming angrily all evening behind the fence. After the first night I moved to another place.

    Well-groomed area. Cleanly.

    You’ll hear the prayers around 4:30 am. Bring good earplugs. ;) It gets pretty noisy in the morning as the hostel is located next to the street. Neighbours have chickens which you will also hear. We’ve had many mosquitoes in our room. I sprayed with my mosquito spray, there were just too many inside. It would be beneficial if the owners spray when cleaning too.. It’s cheap and staff is lovely. Keep in mind this is not western standard.

    Staff is super friendly! I went on a 5-day scooter trip around the island for 60K/day and they kept my big backpack for the time. Thanks again for this ❤️ The chocolate pancakes in the morning are tasty. There is free coffee/tea and water 24/7. They have a fridge where you can store your groceries. They cleaned our room every morning even no one in the room left. Beds are ok. AC works well. Only 4 beds in dorms :)

    Noisy since it's very close to the road. The bathrooms' cleanness and facilities could be improved with minimal extra effort.

    Good location, excellent price, clean rooms and greenery around.

    Mosquitos everywhere in the room I had to cover myself in spray, staff was not nice at all, and it’s not a social hostel at all, I didn’t meet anyone. It was super noisy around because we are close to the road and loads of chicken screaming in the morning

    The staff was so helpful, they are always ready if we need anything! You can rent there a scooter for perfect price, also they provide the best trekking tour to Rinjanji or tour to Komodo. Great place to meet nice people and perfect location. For this lovely price it really exceeded my expectations!

    The price is unbeatable. You share a bungalows of 4 people and they try to gather you by genders so I was only with girls.

    The room was FREEZING when I was there, I had to sleep with a sweatshirt on at night. Also the bathrooms could have been a little bit cleaner.

    This is a great hostel if you are looking for something that is basic but still clean and in a central location. The owner is amazing and the free breakfast is great as well! Only 4 beds per dorm which is great and the common area outside is nice for socializing and meeting people.

    Motorbike is recommended but not necessary since the place is about 15 mins from the center.

    Comfortable and well equipped hostel that offers incredible value, especially for kuta. Free breakfast and coffee was a nice bonus. I did meet some cool people, but not a super social hostel
