Reviews of Pondok Aldi Hostel

Close to the beach, close to good restaurants Beautiful garden

Great value for money. The room was very spacious as was the bed. Nice patio to sit on outside. Friendly staff and yummy breakfast

Nothing we didn’t like

Central location to several of the freediving centres and some food options on the main road.

Hostel needs maintenance - clear clogged drains in shower, replace shower head stands, bathroom could use a good scrub especially the floor, walls and ceilings repainted.

Breakfast was simple and good. Really nice staffs and very helpful. Can rent snorkelling gear for 40k which is a good deal. Place was always kept clean. Lilly will make your day with her cuteness :)

Nothing as such

I extended my stay in Pondok. I really enjoyed my time there. It was comfortable, the staff are very helpful. It has big lockers so you can put all your stuff there and there are not stuff in the floor in the dorm. It’s located in front of one of the spots to snorkel.

One of the showers was kind of broken.

The location, near to diving sites and restaurants to see the sunset

For the price, I have no complaints

Lovely staff, very good location

I had ants in my bed everyday :/ the space in the dorm is very small, you can't put your bag on the floor, you have to put everything in the lockers, not very confortable when you have the high locker

Really friendly staff from the beginning. Amenities were good and clean. One day I had diving before the breakfast time (7-10) and they were happy to prepare me the breakfast before and they even dropped me with the motorbike in the diving club. I would repeat if I go. Lily the dog is very cute aswell

My favourite place to stay in Amed 100 %

The location for me is perfect, yoga place, mini market and restaurants super close. I can go walking to everywhere. The beach to do snorkelling is just across the road. I was in the shared room and it was good, but then I moved to the private room and it was even better, amazing big and comfortable bed and pretty room. All clean and nice. The breakfast is simple but super yummy, the young lady that work there is so friendly, handled and super nice. I’m so happy to be here :)

Nothing:)

Unfortunately I could not stay because the room was very dusty under the bed, there were mould in the walls, including the bathroom, the paint from the walls was coming off, the light switch was totally falling from the wall with a lot of wires exposed. Additionally, the curtains were extremely dirty. I had allergy crisis in the moment I stepped in so if you are prone to respiratory allergies would advise to not stay there.

Cute dog. Good WiFi.

We booked 2 beds in the dorm. The privates look a little nicer, I can’t speak to those, but the shared bathrooms and showers were filthy and moldy. :-(. Towel smelled like mold. Stains on my sheets. Air con leaking. Bed bugs were found in the dorm. We left early because we didn’t want to risk it. It seems like this property has recurring issues with this, which is not surprising given the lack of hygiene around the property. It’s a budget place, but damn it was rough… Also another downside was that there is no real common areas. Just small kitchen table so we found ourselves spending money to chill at restaurants which defeats the purpose of this budget rate lol.
