    Low budget - no kettle or fridge although we used the common fridge.

    Lean room and bathroom, very good breakfast and the best Balinese coffee. Short walk to the beach and good restaurant next door.

    It's 2 star for a reason, but you get what what pay for. Photos are definitely from a good few years ago. Shower floor and walls all moulded and green moss and cracks down the walls. Experienced our first cockroaches but here, you could get that anywhere. It's basically like every other hut, just very basic, cheap and cheerful. So if you're just looking somewhere basic and cheap to crash for the night, does the job.

    Lovely woman running the place, she was really helpful and got us sorted with her sisters bike for the 2 days we were staying. Room decent size. Quiet seating areas to chill in the garden. Only 5 min walk from beach so super handy location.

    We liked everything except that the facility was a bit off. We stayed there for 6nights which was a bit too long.

    The straff was very kind and helpful. One big plus is that you can walk to the beach quick and easy.

    The bathroom needs a complete overhaul, compared to the bed, which is fine, there's a gap between the two.

    The bed is really good and the personal too.

    It was hard to find someone in the reception at times. When I got there, I had to wait half an hour to get someone to do the check in.

    It is a nice place in terms of cost-benefit. The room is confortable and it is very quiet. There was curious half open ceiling bathroom, which I think is quiet common in Bali. Didn't have any problems with it but there was no rainy day though.

    Very simply equipped - e.g. hairdryer missing, just one shelf for all personal stuff was insufficient. One had to keep clothes in the baggage.

    Great location close to Crystal Beach. It was so authentic - living in a small village in the middle of jungle. Extraordinary experience! There was another bungalow resort next door with a swimming pool and a restaurant which we could be visiting.

    The bathrooms are a little run down. Not much close to it, need to get bikes to find any decent restaurants.

    The bed was so so comfy. The breakfast was basic but good (pancakes or eggs). Close to the beach. Tiny cute little village with wild pigs, chickens and monkeys.staff lovely.

    It was a bit older and mouldy. There was stains on the sheets

    Location is close to Crystal Bay beach, only a few minutes walking. Good warungs around to eat. Just consider you would need a scooter to get around the island. Staff wasn’t present when I arrived but someone else checked me in, staff is friendly.

    Such a beautiful place! I was very sad to leave. It's just a few minutes walking to Crystal Bay (best spot to do some snorkeling and to watch the sunset). If you are looking for a chill place to enjoy nature and rest, this place is for you! The bungalow is so pretty and comfortable! The shower area doesn't have a roof, which was amazing! You will be able to shower looking at the stars (unique experience!). The staff are lovely and always happy and ready to help. I was too scared to rent a scooter, but they provide shuttle services (cars and scooters) to take you around, or pick you up. Breakfast was also delicious! And for lunch or dinner, there are a couple of restaurants close to the bungalow that you can choose. I totally recommend staying here, and if I go back to Nusa Penida one day, I will 100% book with them again! Thanks so much for making my stay so wonderful!
