Hands down one of the best hostel experiences we've had in Indonesia. We originally booked 4 nights and stayed for two weeks, and even then found it hard to leave!! Not only is Nias and Salty Dog a slice of paradise but Arif and his beautiful family are truly amazing people; so fun, welcoming, kind and helpful. We instantly felt like family. Arif goes above and beyond for his guests, speaking fantastic English it was a pleasure to hang out each day, he even took us to the local waterfalls and Bawomataluo village where he explained in depth about the local culture and traditions. Both days were such a highlight for us! The family room was spacious, comfortable, had AC, a private bathroom (cold showers but they were welcomed with the heat!) and a fantastic view of the bay. The bed was huge! The kitchen is fully equipped, WiFi is the best we've experienced (especially as remote workers) and just the vibe, volunteers, dogs and puppies were a dream. The bay is great for a swim, perfect for children as it's nice and calm, and we had such respect for Arif who works so hard to keep it clean and plastic free! Everyday we were greeted with a delicious local breakfast, Arif arranged scooter rental, offered ideas and tips of what to do and was always available to answer or help us in any way. His gorgeous daughter and nieces loved being with our 4 year old, always playing and involving her. Genuinely a slice of heaven. We will absolutely be back and look forward to this being our dream Indonesian hideout for many years to come. Thank you Arif and family for an unforgettable stay.

Great views, friendly staff, surf at your door step, room service, air con!

The swimming pool is very clean because it manages very well, and room clean service is available upon request in advance. The staff and the owner are all kind. The way from the accommodation to the point is also close. I'm willing to revisit.

Toris and his family are lovely, we had a wonderful stay and it was hard to leave! The accommodation is on the beach, the setting is heavenly, Toris offers surfboards to rent and surf lessons! We ate really well and we were even able to cook sometimes too. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable, I recommend without hesitation and I would like to return with pleasure!

Best place to stay in nias, Beda and his family are lovely, the food top notch, the location perfect in front of keyhole and surf viewing platform was epic to check the waves. Will be back yew

Lovely host - great location

Perfect location right next to the ocean. The owners have invested their own time and money into building walkways so that when the tide is out guests can walk with ease down to the water’s edge and up and down the coastal rock pools.

Chill, close to the waves and very comfortable

Totally recommended!, the hosts were very kind and helpful, is a quiet location, safe, clean and a beautiful view, away from the busy city, just in front of Sorake beach, good for relaxing and surfing.

Very simple and easy.. great hospitality and lovely people and great location.. best nasi goreng in town!
