Reviews of Feby's Homestay

We chose Feby’s based on the positive reviews and couldn’t agree more. Before arriving in Ekas Beach, we’d been told several times in Kuta that Feby’s was the best place to stay - fully justified. Nan, the owner, has created a warm, relaxed homestay and was thoughtful in placing us in a room away from the construction noise during property expansion. Super helpful with organising scooters, boards, and surf trips, even though there weren’t any waves while we were there. Short walking distance to the main beach (perfect for swimming and sunbathing). The rooms are basic but have everything you need, including decent AC. Breakfast was good, and the food was tasty, even if not quite as amazing as some other reviews suggested.

This friendly homestay had good vibes. A nice family run the place. Their in-house restaurant is popular. Quite a social atmosphere with other travellers. Nice view across the valley and out to sea. Great location to access the good surf in Ekas. For the moment it's a lovely area away from the crowds hopefully it stays that way. The aircon in my room was excellent. There were lots of included brekky options.

I was allocated one of the two rooms tucked under the main house and resto. Even in this budget category the room was very basic and could get a little noisy at times. There are newer freestanding rooms set away from the main building that are a better option if you can get one.

Perfect location, amazing host and epic food! Can’t fault Febys 🤍🤍

Good view. Good food Air Con Bedding changed. Good value for your money. Naan is a friendly guy. He will look after you.

All ok

I originally booked 4 days but on day1 I planned to extend that to 3 weeks. Perfect location, close to the beach. Boat access to surf breaks, all that, but the staff are brilliant. The food is probably the best I've had anywhere and I'll be back every year for at least the next 5. My only concern about submitting this review is that they might overbooked by the time I plan to come here. I'm serious. So, do me favour and don't tell anyone.

We had a great time with this wonderfull family. They are very good hosts! The food was amazing. We ate there 3 times per day and tried every dish and all were so yummy. They help you with bikes, surfboards , taxis and she even made a birthday cake for my girlfriend. We will come back here for sure 😊

Absolutely perfect to stay a few days in Surf Paradise : Ekas. Feby’s stay is clean, in a perfect location (5mins from inside and outside breaks) and the breakfast is delicious. 100% recommend :)

Nan and his family will look after you like one of their own! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in ekas, a slow chilled out beach town away from tourist crowds. If you wanna meet surfers, chillers and froggys id stay here.

Nan, his family and staff were amazing! Super friendly and welcoming. Nan was very helpfull and gave us all the information about the surf spots and could organise a boat for us when we needed. The Homestay is nicely organised with a sea view deck where you can always find an area with shade. Nice garden also with various fruits to eat! Close to the beaches around to go surf or swim. Also board rental available on site. Room was basic but big and comfortable - everything you need and a comfy bed! Restaurant on site was very good and cheap. Ended up eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Would definitely recommend and we are looking forward to come back again!!

All the staff was very helpful for any kind of request. Very easy to stay there. They provide scooter, give good advices of where to go. They help us to have surf lessons. The beach is only 5 minutes walk. The food is nice there and you can also have great food in the restaurants around.

nothing, they were all so nice and kind!!

The first room we were given smelled like feces. The toilet flush didn’t work, and instead, we had to use a garden hose. There were blood stains on the floor and toilet. Cobwebs were in the corners. The owner was aware of the foul odor in the room and even suggested changing it himself. We switched rooms mainly because of the smell. The second room had a bare concrete floor and a single light bulb. Upon entering, we were greeted by two lizards. The bathroom had no window in the frame. There was no hot water. Instead of a shower or proper fittings, there were rubber or plastic hoses. The worst part was the bedding on the pillows—dirty and moldy. How can anyone treat a person like this and expect them to sleep on moldy sheets? I had never seen such a neglected room. There was no duvet, only a blanket. There was absolutely no noise protection. None! There was a mosque nearby, and the whole night, all night long, we had to listen to the chanting coming from there. Earplugs were useless. We felt like we were sleeping outside, under the open sky. The breakfast was pathetic. Instant coffee and two eggs. Considering that there were plenty of fields full of vegetables surrounding the house, it felt downright stingy not to add any to the meal. I have been traveling through Southeast Asia for seven months now, I stayed in many homestays and I think this was the worst accommodation I’ve had so far.

Overwhelming warm welcoming of our Hoast Nan and his family! We realy felt ”at home” with all friendlyness oround us. All dishes we tryed in the Restaurant where delicius! You can ” blind- pick” anyoune and become happy! The bungalows are aery, good sized with AC., and outside veranda with a view over the nature all the way to the Sea. I did a three day surfing-course in the nearby Bay, developed well and enjoyed every minute.

Maybe room- cleaning

Loved everything about this place. Clean and tidy, amazing garden and close to the surf. Lovely family running the place and Naan was super helpful to show me around. Not to mention the amazing fresh food they have at the restaurant. Would give more than a 10. Will definitely be back during my next trip to Ekas

Very kind and attentive hosts, great food, nice view of the sea.

The bathroom in my room smelled very moldy. As someone who has a strong reaction to mold, this made it very difficult. The main room was slightly moldy, might not bother most people. Probably not an issue in the dry season. This aside, I was happy with the simple but comfortable accommodations.

Amazing food! Very close to the surf spots.

Perfect stay if you want to surf in Ekas. The view from the restaurant is great!

Friendly hosts who help you with everything you need.. The room was great with balcony and lovely view. Really convenient to have restaurant on site. I would love to come back again!

No hot water but you really don't need it at all. WiFi wasn't very good but that would be the same everywhere in the village, nothing to do with the property.

The family managing it there were so super friendly and welcoming! Thank you. It was a good location. I could walk to Ekkas Beach.. but easier to rent the scooter due to the steep hill and the distance (800m or so). It was great to have the airconditioned room and bathroom with warm shower. I enjoyed the breakfast and the option to order more items also. Having the Warung right there made it easy to refuel and plenty of time to relax. The other guests were super friendly at the time, so a very social atmosphere.

The room had a bit of damp smell, but this didn't bother me too much.

Nan was so lovely and helpful in letting us know about the surf and what else is around. His wife was also very kind. The food was amazing The sharing spaces are very well done and lovely to relax
