    The stuff is super nice, always friendly and helpful. Especially Hermin is such a lovely person. Terima kasih 🙏🏼🥰 The place is cute and the other guest were great, we had very good conversation and a lot of fun. The pool clean and invites to chill. Free barbecue was included and what is awesome as well, is that they have double bed sizes for couples in a dorm. What is perfect for couples. Enjoy your stay there, I am pretty sure you will

    A bit of noise on an evening but it’s expected in a hostel!

    This our third time returning to WTD as we love it so much! Everyone’s so friendly and the staff are really helpful. Laundry is cheap and you can hire a bike. Rooms are comfortable too.

    Considering there are two people sharing a bunk, there is a lack of space to put your items at night and everything is on one side of the bed. The lockers are under the bed which is awkward. This hostel was cool but it wasn’t the cleanest and the rooms & bathrooms are dated, so in need of an update and deep clean. They also played music unnecessarily loud during the day & at night, even if there wasn’t anyone sat outside, maybe it was to make it more of a party atmosphere but I got the impression nobody booked the hostel for this.

    Nice hostel with a great pool & relaxing area. The 4-bed dorm was fine and the double beds were comfy. The location is good as it’s around 20 mins walk to the beach.

    A few ants in the room underneath the beds (where the luggage was kept). A bit noisy on an evening from the music downstairs but stopped at 11pm ish

    Beds were super comfy - double beds were huge! Pool area was nice and sociable Different events e.g. free BBQ, family dinner, games night, etc. The staff were welcoming - Hermin was lovely! Great location!

    The shower-head is very high up on the wall, so if you’re on the shorter side the water pressure might not be great

    The beds were comfortable and spacious! The staff were very friendly and helpful! We stayed for 5 nights and met so many amazing people from around the world! It was great!

    30 minutes to the beach but it was easy to walk or get a grab scooter. Otherwise really good!

    Really nice stay with lovely staff that were so kind. Perfect place for solo travelers that want to socialise as there were things almost every night like BBQ evening, game nights, dinners etc. Clean and spacious rooms, felt safe.

    Loved the property but the location wasn’t great. Canggu was ok but the accommodation was about a half hour walk from the beach, the pavements were not easy to walk on (mostly because of road works or damage) and the motorbikes just rode on the pavements any way. It was quite literally terrifying!

    Clean, nice private bunks. A bbq that the hosts put on for the guests.

    The room is packed, I was literally sleeping on the ceiling. Need to work on the closet.

    The staff and the overall aesthetic are amazing! The facilities are mostly top notch except for the closet, need to work on that (at least for the door lock). The location are pretty strategic even though it's not easy to find at first, but still, the benefit it's closer to the beach and shops.
