Nothing - it’s all great !

Fabulous place to stay and highly recommend!! The owner Mel is very helpful and also runs the great restaurant attached called Tabo Kitchen. The food was amazing, well priced with various Indonesian and western options. The room was clean and comfy, bonus having a deck to enjoy sunsets and snorkelling right out front! The dogs Lala and tiko were lovely too. Several nice bars, beach clubs and restaurants nearby to walk to. Will definitely stay here again!

The shower facilities could use an update, and part of the terrace floor felt a bit fragile.

Perfect location, right on the beach with a wonderful view. The place was clean, had good AirCon, and there’s a great restaurant right next door.

Nothing at all!

Everything about Mel’s place is just wonderful. It’s my 2nd time staying here and I will be back! It’s quiet and totally bliss for anyone who likes snorkeling with a at your door step!

The view is impeccable. The owner is such a nice woman and her dogs are the cutest. The restaurant next door is really good. Honestly a really nice place. Just know that it is hard to move around from there without renting a scooter.

We loved it here! Our favourite was being able to swim off the deck. There is excellent snorkling 50m from the room and snorkel sets are provided. The view is amazing. The room is the same as the pictures and has everything you need. The restaurant next door has good food and there are plenty of options nearby. We were sad to leave!!

Nothing. It was all great.

VnS Guesthouse is a dream!! We loved staying here so much. You can’t beat the view you get right out of your front door. Also, we had some of the best snorkeling right outside the guesthouse. Also, Mel, the host was super communicative and made everything easy for us. We would definitely stay here again.

The AC could be cooler given the hot and humid temperatures

Stunning location and friendly staff. They have adorable doggos who just make the stay all the more warm and fuzzy. Highly recommend your stay here

Amazing view of the sea and mountain in the distance. Just on the shoreline. Well behaved staff. Very friendly and helpful host . Good food in the adjacent restaurant run by the host. Short driving distance from the port.

Very nice place. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Beautiful view from the deck in front of my room. Saw a bunch off dolphins swimming by and there was good snorkeling right in front of my room.

Where do I start with this review???? This was so good I have rebooked to come back! If you love snorkeling, you can walk out of your room, down some stairs and into a beautiful coral reef and coral farm. The variety of fish is brilliant along with the coral. Now for the host, Mel. 💕💕💕. I have a new sister. Mel went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as can be. They have a gorgeous restaurant next door and you can order anything to have in front of your room! Breakfast was beautiful. There are 2 gorgeous dogs, Ly Ly is the best, just loves a cuddle. The room is great, just the right size with a small bathroom. Worked perfectly for my husband and I. If this is available and you love the water, book it immediately ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And… if you need someone to plan your tours or transport, ask Mel! Her contacts are reliable, look after you and the pricing was cheaper than organizing direct. Thanks Mel, see you soon 😊

I couldn’t fault the location of the property. It was right on the ocean and the view from the room was incredible. Being able to jump straight into the ocean from your room made my stay. There were restaurants all around and easy motorbike distance to most restaurants and sights.

The most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed at. Waking up to this view every morning was amazing. I spent the day snorkeling out the front and loved the attached restaurant. We tried Penida Colada twice but Tabo’s food was far superior. Such a quiet atmosphere there too. My husband worked from the rooftop above the restaurant as it had PowerPoints and a great view in the shade all day. Can’t wait to come back.

The location and tge staff make this place amazing. Located right on the ocean you have an amazing view. The staff is incredible at helping and meeting your every need. Thank you for a lovely stay, hope I will be able to come back.

Perhaps the walls could use a little paint refresh but that’s minor.

Felt like a family run guesthouse. Very personal service. Helpful staff. The room was really cute. You cannot get closer to the water than this! Slept like a baby. Great location to explore Nusa Penida. Good restaurants in walking distance.

VnS is stunning, right on the water and next to some lovely bars and restaurants. Mel and Surya make your stay so comfortable and easy! Mel organised every boat ticket we needed, moped to rent and snorkelling tour so the stay was stress free! Would recommend to anyone!

The fact we had to leave. We were advised by a friend to stay for only 1 night in Nusa Penida, next time we visit VnS Guesthouse in Nusa Penida we will certainly be staying for 2 or more nights.

Absolutely everything. There is nothing not to like about staying at VnS Guesthouse. The host and staff were absolutely lovely, and extremely welcoming. The view from the property is amazing. The location is absolutely perfect. The room was extremely clean and the owner’s dogs were the friendliest dogs we have met in all of Asia (which is very comforting as dog lovers). We asked where we could rent a scooter, the owner Ida, assured us that she could get us one. Within less than 20 minutes there was a scooter outside ready for us to use. She has been the most welcoming hostess we have met in the last 2 months of travelling around Asia.

Can be a bit hard to find.

Located directly on the beach with stairs to the water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Let us keep bags at the Guesthouse after checking out to allow us to explore the island longer. Located within a quick scooter ride of many great restaurants.

Needs better signage on the main road, so travellers can find it.

This accommodation is right on the waterfront. Very new, the facilities are impeccable. Hot and cold shower, fridge, beautiful decor and very helpful and inquisitive owner. When I bought the room for the night it was also very cheap.Rather than a solo traveller, this residence is perfect for couples.

Nothing we loved it all!

The view from the room is amazing, it has such a peaceful and relaxed vibe! The whole family are so helpful if you need anything!
