    I really liked the social vibe at the hostel. There are so many events where you can get to know people, that you can then spend the days with. The rooms are very tidy and getting cleaned every day.

    I had a great time here and ended up extending twice! The hostel itself has really nice facilities - nice, spacious dorm rooms, a pool, pool table, bar, restaurant, basketball court, scooter rental, laundry service,... What really made the difference were the people working here. They brought a lot of positive energy to the place and made the experience unique. I highly recommend coming here, and already plan to extend ;) because it happened to all of us.

    I like the vibe and the people. I like how the staff was very accommodating.

    It was a bit far from the port. I was placed in the top bunk, which was too high for me. I scraped my leg while I was going down from the stairs.

    Amazing place to meet people and socialize. Feels like home when coming back after a long day visiting the island.

    The location is not the best but if you rent a bike there is no problem at all. Actually the isolation of the place kind of build its intimacy.

    All the staff are simply the nicest, most welcoming people and so easy to engage with! The owners are often floating around and are sound as, humble guys. They've done an amazing job at creating an environment that caters to all types of guests. Whether you love to have a drink and send it, or chill around the picturesque pool with one of their signature cocktails! With a basketball court, pool table, and darts on offer, there's something to keep you entertained all day! There is an extensive menu with all your favourite comfort foods and their pizzas are legitimately the best!! Each night hosts a different activity or event, like taco Tuesday, beer pong Fridays, and a live band with pool comp on Saturdays! The bedrooms are super cosy, the bathroom facilities are well maintained and the pool, well, the pool speaks for itself!! The hostel is slightly off the beaten track, which offers exceptional tropical forest vibes surrounding you, and with bike hire available, you're only a few minutes from the beach. The Penida Project is an absolute 'must stay'. You will love it!

    Absolutely nothing.

    Everything! This hostel feels more like you’re staying at a friends house compared to a normal hostel!! I originally booked for a night at the full moon party but found myself staying a whole week! This place is the perfect hostel 👌🏽 The food & drinks are amazing! You almost have to force yourself to leave and go do activities! Great facilities, beds, dorms, pool and restaurant 👌🏽 It was that good I rebooked and extended my stay 3 times…

    Having to leave and there being so many hot babes 🥵

    It's one of the best hostels that I've stayed in during my time in bali, it's super solo friendly. The owners are engaged in the property events and interact with the guests, The vibes are immaculate the food is top notch. Staff and social hosts are super friendly and there are an amazing range of activities like free boxing and family dinners. It's really social and easy to meet people. They have cute doggos too. Social hosts leilani, aiden and rhiannon were super friendly and very helpful ❤️

    Lots of hostel activities and bathroom is cleaned often. Peaceful location

    Some other activities were cancelled because of the full moon party

    Property response:

    Thanks so much - indeed we have to replace our activities the Friday evening as the Full Moon event features DJ's, livebands and fire twirlers so it is too difficult to run other things consecutively. Glad you loved the cleanliness - our housekeepers will be very happy :)

    If you’re looking for a place that triples your tab because you’re a ‘rich spoilt brat’, staff members that punch you in the face and destroy your clothes, book this!😀

    One of those few places on earth that creates a genuine connection between everyone staying here. Met a lot of new friends while staying. Loads of social activities offered by the Hostel (check their groupschat). I really liked the pool to chill out. Bunk beds are spacious enough and it’s overall clean. It was Full Moon Party on my first night, still I wouldn’t call it a Party Hostel. They also have the most cheerful staff! Kudos to Sam and Lucia especially for going the extra mile in customer care 😉

    Top bunks are for tall climbers only. Not too much locker space in my room for a big suitcase. You need a quite expensive taxi to go anywhere on Nusa (wouldn’t recommend riding a scooter as the roads are super steep and in bad condition).

    Property response:

    Hey Marc thanks for touching on the connections the place brings - we feel the exact same. Really appreciate the mention too mate we always love to help and hang out. You are right unfortunately taxis are more expensive here as we don't have grab; that comes with the smaller islands - the good thing however is it does mean more money for the local community.
