Very nice accommodation. Owner was very friendly and always eager to help and recommend you things. He arranged all the tours for us with good prices. It was a very pleasant stay.

Our stay at Abian house was extremely enjoyable. The host is the most hospitable and polite man we have ever met. He gave us water every morning and the most delicious breakfasts. We wanted to do a manta trip, he organised it no problem and drove with us half an hour to show us exactly where to go. Our bed was super comfy and room was clean. He also always asked for permission before cleaning our room which we really liked. Thank you for everything!!

The owners were amazing, set us up with a very reasonably priced bike while we were there, and a boat trip at a very reduced price. He even offered to move our rooms further away from the chickens as we were there 4 nights. Breakfast was filling and tasty. Wi-Fi worked well. And the facilities were amazing value for money. Close to lots of Warungs and a short bike ride into the busier town area. Perfect location!

nothing as such.

helpful staff, location was at the main road, very near from Sampalan port.

The location is next to the busy main road around the island, but you couldn't hear much from the road while indoors so that was nice. We also didn't feel entirely comfortable with the open window in the bathroom. It was nice for circulation and fresh air, but there is a building with a balcony behind the houses and from some angles you could imagine that someone could see inside. The shower and toilet were out of sight though and we didn't see anyone, but it didn't feel very comfortable. But these are just two small things that didn't spoil our stay at the Abian House!

We've had a very clean room and also a very friendly host. Latra helps you with everything and has some good tips about locations like restaurants and beaches. He even took us to the ferry on our day of checking out for free. It is possible to hire a bike for a very good price (we paid 60k a day). Latra runs the place together with his family. His wife cooks amazing breakfast! We could choose out of 5 options every day and with the eggs or pancake you got fruit and coffee/tea. The breakfast was very tasty and a good portion. Although the location isn't near most of the sightseeing points, it is near the harbour and near some very good (and cheap compared to the busy areas) restaurants. There are also loads of supermarkets around. It took us around 45 minutes to get to popular viewpoints, but we liked the fact that we stayed in a quieter area. The room is big with enough space to store your belongings. There was also a water boiler with some tea and coffee. When we arrived we were welcomed with a refreshing welcoming drink and a bottle of water. Outside the room was a small veranda with two chairs, a little table and a drying rack for clothes. The room is cleaned once every two days.

Everything was just perfect, we felt at home. 100% recommended. The best part was the host (Latra) and his family who were really nice and helped us with everything

The wall is quite thin, so you can here your next door but that’s pretty minor.

The location of the property is at the end of commercial street where you can find a lot of shops and restaurants. The room’s space is big with the high ceiling. It’s clean and comfy. The host is the best, his family is very enthusiastic to welcoming the guests. He arranged the motorbikes and the drop off for us. We had great impressions of the host’s hospitality.

Unfortunately, the location was much further from the harbour than I expected. It was also quite far from the main area of restaurants and cafés and the dive centres. It was also not close to the sites in the south. I enjoyed staying at Abian House, but I changed after a couple nights because it was just too far to drive to the main area of restaurants, and to the sites, etc. I also found the communication VERY DIFFICULT at first because unfortunately when you write to ask questions before you get there, it is not Latra who you are communicating with. Some woman in Bali is responsible for answering you and she is terrible! Latra would probably answer you within 2 minutes, but I didn't get answers from the woman in Bali for many hours, and when she finally answered, it was just a few words, which was VERY FRUSTRATING! I highly recommend that they change this because I almost cancelled my reservation when I didn't get an answer from them about my arrival. If we could communicate with Latra from the beginning, it would be MUCH BETTER. Latra is very attentive. Finally, I would prefer to have a fan in my room as I don't use A/C. It also wasn't hot enough for A/C. Unfortunately, there was no fan and no way to move the air because you can't open a window. The only window was the sliding glass door which is the main entrance and this needs to be closed at night. (This is a pretty common situation in Indonesia, unfortunately.) A ceiling fan, or even a standing fan would be a great option.

Latra, the host, is very, very nice and tried very hard to help in every way possible. He and his family are lovely and kind, and Latra seemed to worry about my safety. He told me when he thought my scooter wasn't safe, which I really appreciated. He also offered suggestions about where to go and what to see. I think maybe he was a little surprised to see a woman my age traveling alone because he seemed to want to help me a lot! 😄 But it was very nice that he was so worried. Thank you Latra. 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 The room was very big and the bed was very comfortable. The room was clean. The washroom and shower were good.

Best place I stayed in Nusa Penida. The family were extremely kind and welcoming. The garden was so clean and quiet. The room spotless and comfortable. I was so happy I found them after a bad experience in another hotel. They even invited a friend of mine for breakfast even if she was not staying at the hotel. So so nice!! I'm extremely grateful.

The host was super nice to us and help us with everything. They really went above and beyond and when we had to transfer to a new hotel, even offered for us to come back for breakfast the next day! Everything was so clean and nothing was too much. They helped us book a driver so we could see the island and made sure we were completely looked after. I couldn’t recommend this enough! The friendliest place we’ve stayed on our travels.

Spacious and ideally clean room, comfortable bed. Very friendly and helpful host. From the very beginning we felt like home here. Once arrived, we received fresh coconuts as welcome drinks. This place is great to stay and the family who runs it are warm and kind people. Breakfast is so delicious, I have never ate such an omlette before!. We definitely recommend this place!

The host/owner was just so wonderful! Very attentive and caring, and he found a more affordable driver for me to travel the island, as I was solo. The room was quite comfortable and you could find all you needed (restaurants, groceries, etc) around the hotel. The best part is that the owner is a native of the island, so by staying here you are helping someone who is actually part of the local community :)

Nothing really!

Absolutelt fantastic place to stay. The owners are super nice and will do whatever they can to make your stay as nice as possible. On top of the great service, they really try to help you with your stay on the island by telling you about the good spots to snorkel, hike, eat and so on. Rooms were spacious and clean. AC worked perfect. Bathroom was clean and hot water worked perfectly. Beds were super comfortable. We rented a scooter from the owner for 5 days for decent price. There are plently of supermarkets and restaurants in the area and you can reach crystal bay in 40 minutes by scooter.

Exceptional hospitality from the owners, great breakfast made every morning and a very comfortable welcoming place to stay. The owner speaks English pretty well and makes every effort to provide a pleasant stay for his guests. I’ve been to Bali and Nusa Penida many times and I will definitely return here.

10/10 We had a lovely stay at Abian House, really kind & welcoming family that go the extra mile to make sure you enjoy your stay on Nusa Penida. Around 25mins from Bajur Nyuh Pier but only 10 to Buyuk Harbour which you can take the boat to Gili Islands. Room is very clean with hot shower & breakfast was cooked for us every morning when we woke up.. you can choose what you’d like from a selection too. We were able to rent a good bike from Abian House too which was so helpful (you 100% need if coming to Nusa Penida) They also very kindly rode us to Buyuk Harbour with all of our bags when we were leaving. Highly recommend!!

I would like to express my great gratitude to the host of the guesthouse. For 2 years of my travels I have not seen a kinder and more responsive person. On one of the days on the island was a holiday, because of this many restaurants were not working, we were left hungry, but the host fed us a free lunch, it was very nice. Also at the end of our travels we could not withdraw money in the bancomante on the island, and we had no money to call a cab to the port, but the owner of the hotel and here helped us, took our luggage to the port for free. Highly recommend this hotel, very convenient location. If I could, I would give it 100 points in the bookings.

The location of the accomodation was perfect. The hospitality of the family was amazing. If you can choose this accomodation for you trip to Nusa Penida you wont regret! It was so clean and they clean the room every single day. Also provide bottle of water which is much appreciated. We stayed there for 5 days and was the best accomodation of all pur stay in Bali. They served and amazing breakfast with 4 options to choose. They provide you motorbikes to rent if you need for cheap prices. Definitely, best option in Nusa Penida!

everything was really good.

A very welcoming, familiar, super comfortable and clean place to stay. We were received and surprised by the kindness of this family who does everything to serve well. From the scooter rental, tips on the sights of the island, to our boarding in Porto. Perfect! In addition, we found Catappa, a local restaurant facing the sea, just 3 minutes walk from the hotel with good food and great value for money (in addition to accepting card and also money exchange) which made our stay much more convenient.
