    Nothing to mention :)

    The location of the place is 10min walking distance from the Sampalan Beach harbor, where boats from Bali Kusamba harbor arrive. It's really cute, cozy, and clean with the most adorable family that runs it. We loved our stay :)

    If you are going to stay here - you need transport. So you can hire out a moped at a reasonable cost from the owners or use taxis. Take a translation book with you as communication was sometimes a little tricky. Maddie and Danny were happy to take us to a Manta Ray boat trip that was an amazing experience for us.( and pick us up later!)

    Steve and l had a lovely stay in this accommodation.( 5 nights) We were made to feel so welcome on arrival by Maddie and her daughter who are delightful with a cold drink and being asked about breakfast. Particularly enjoyed the spicy noodles and egg ! The bed was comfy and AC and Wi fi were good. We even tried the local fish cooked for us and home grown corn on the cob from Dannys delightful father.

    The family you stay at is very lovely. The cottage is very comfortable and had an amazing night of sleep. Because I stayed alone and did not have a motorbike they even dropped me off to go for dinner and picked me up. Also dropped me off at the harbour. Would definitely stay here again.

    The water (sink and shower) in the bathroom is salt water. It’s ok but they didn’t warn us about this. I made a very salty coffee! We rented a scooter from evening of 23rd to evening of 25th. They counted this as 3 days despite it being a 48 hour period. I guess a miscommunication but everywhere we’ve been before then it’s based on per-24-hour-period. Eventually they gave us “discount” after a lot of back and forth but we still had to pay more than what we were expecting. The owners arranged us taxi over to another hotel near Amok sunset bar and it cost 400k!! We didn’t have a choice but to pay it, but we were definitely overcharged because our second hotel only charged 300k back to Buyuk harbour. One of the two nights we were there we were woken up at about 2am and 4am by their dog barking really loudly outside the room. The other night it was fine.

    Lovely quiet location off the main road, with very beautiful little garden. The room was nice - clean, bed comfortable, kettle. The seating area outside the cabins is great to relax in the evenings and they bring breakfast there to you in the morning. Breakfast was simple yet tasty. Owners were really welcoming and the drink on arrival was a nice touch.

    There was no housekeeping and other maintenance staff. The entire cottage was managed by a single lady who could not understand English well. For any query, her most frequent response was "Sorry"! Some of the furniture was also broken in the rooms. Considering that the location of the cottage was a bit remote, the cottage should have offered the option for lunch and dinner. Only breakfast was available with minimal options. The water was saltish and there was no water heater.

    The room is spacious and really nice. Just have on mind that the property is kind of far away from everything. I don’t have driving license so it was a bit expensive for me to rent drivers all the time. The location is also a big plus if you’re looking for a calm place. In the bathroom there goes salty water from the tap and shower. The breakfast could be better - at least to add some fruits to French toast or yoghurt. Serving just 4 pieces of toast with a bit of chocolate doesn’t seem like proper breakfast right. The owners are really nice people, even it’s hard to speak with the woman English.

    Maybe the lizzards but that wasn’t a big deal for us.

    Was a nice little cabin. You should be okay with lizzards which weren’t that big of a problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay here maybe come again. It’s not far away from the main road and we loved Nusa Penida because you have everything but it isn’t too touristic in that area which was perfect for us. Manager of the hotel is super lovely as well, she responds to any wishes, even though she sometimes doesn’t understand you 100% which isn’t too dramatic. You can get along just fine with her.

    The dirtiness and almost everything

    Nothing, just the kindness of the hosts. Absolutely unhygienic: urine on the toilet rim, a shower full of grime, rust, and insects, no running water in the shower, and only salty/sulfuric water in the sink and in the shower as well. We asked to use the shower in another cottage, but on the last night, none were available, so we went to bed dirty (after being at the beach all day). No outlets in the bathroom. The roof is open, allowing all insects to come in, and there is no mosquito net. Very far from the center, not at all close to a swimmable beach. The last night, we had a power outage and the host was unable to tell us when it would be resolved, even though we needed to prepare our things for departure the next morning. No solution was offered. We had to ask for a flashlight. Communication is also very difficult because the hosts don’t speak much English, so we had to use Google Translate. Additionally, the snorkeling activity to see manta rays they offer (through their friends) is a scam! We didn’t see any manta rays (which isn’t their fault ofc because nature is unpredictable), but they suggested alternative spots that we didn’t even visit, claiming there were "too many people," and the excursion lasted less than 2 hours instead of the planned 3 hours.

    The location was great with a beautiful garden. The family that host us were really welcoming and really helpfull. They helped us giving us the traditional dress to go in the temple and reccomend us tipical restaurants. Made, the owner, was really kind and friendly. Beatiuful place to stay, close to the centre, you can reach it by walk as well or you can rent a scooter with them as well. Best bananas that i haver ate 😚

    It’s not on the main road so you have to rent a motorbike to get to the restaurant, but it’s quieter because of that.

    The family is just amazing - kind, helpful and really involved. The cottages are spacious, very clean and cleaning was done daily. The breakfast was tasty and you have 4 options to choose from. I wish more people would stay there because our stay was the best in the Bali area.

    This was by far one of the best stays this holiday (3 weeks of Indonesia). The host and his family were very kind and lovely people. He offered us a fresh fish dinner he caught himself and it was lovely and free of charge! The scooter he hired us was a new one too. The rooms are cute and clean and with a very good working AC. Overall perfect! To the host: thanks for the great night!
