    It's very close to the main road so you hear the cars/motos passing by during the day. Thankfully Amed is quite calm at night, so not much noise. I was able to sleep very well!

    The staff was great, I liked the banana pancake breakfast with coffee, the location is great, in front of the best place to dive and great cafes around. The bedroom was very comfortable.

    The toilets needed a bit of TLC, and there was occasionally no shower water. For the price though, these were minor inconveniences. It would be nice to have a dedicated chill spot that's not right on the main street (breakfast table) and ia more comfortable to relax with other travelers.

    Super lovely reception, very cosy beds and great privacy. Huge lockers with a key. The banana pancakes are delicious in the morning. It's right across from a great snorkeling spot. The hostel is quiet but you can still chat to other guests (only 8 beds).

    The shower are a little dirty and they don’t have space ti leave your changing clothes or bathroom stuff, it’s very easy to install some. The breakfast is not really that great as it is only one banana pancake, half burned, and you can’t ask for more than that.

    Lovely property well located with very kind staff. Also easy and cheap to rent snorkel material. The shared room is quite clean and well organised, you also have a lot of space to leave your belongins safely.

    As the other reviews said, this place isn't particularly social. Staff unable to book a boat to Lombok etc but there are lots of travel places along the road. It's a good place to sleep but hard to meet other people. Great sunset spots just up the hill w bit.

    Very comfortable beds here and with curtain, plug and light snd big locker. Quiet at night time. Good hot shower. Nice pancake for breakfast, which starts at 7am. Good of you have an early pick up, like I did. VERY close to beach. For the money is it excellent.

    The girl at reception doesn't speak much english and doesn't have much information, so to every question she told me to wait for the manager, who wasn't coming until the morning after. It would be great if she had all the info about shuttle buses, tours, etc. to organise the stay on the same day of the arrival.

    The dorm is really comfy, with great lockers, good wifi, and two toilets/showers outside. Nice breakfast (just banana pancake option) and free water.

    It would be nice if the toilets and the showers were in separate rooms. Some hooks at the wall next to the bathroom sinks would be a good improvement, so it would be possible to hang up the towel and other stuff. It was quite loud sometimes because of the location directly at the main road, but with earplugs it was ok to sleep.

    wonderful staff, very good bed and good cleanliness

    As mentioned in the description, the bungalow does not have air con, only a fan (but the dormitory room has one). I ended up getting used to it easily though. There are no social events organized by the hostel itself and no chilling area apart from the kitchen, thus it kind of depends on whether the people staying there are willing to talk. During my time there, most backpackers were willing to chat and we ended up spending a lot of time together.

    Very spacious room. Cleaned daily which is a huge plus. Right across the street from an amazing snorkeling spot and many warungs. Lovely hosts. If you need a quiet place in Amed with a kind family feel, this place is for you. There is only one big kitchen table where everyone sits to eat which makes it easy to talk to people.

    The place not very clean. Also I open the refrigerator to place something inside, it was disgusting. I had to tell them. The hostel is locater on a main road. Vehicles running continuasly. Dangerous for animals.

    The staff is ok. They serve you breakfast; pancakes with tea or coffee. Now when it comes to price, and worth the money, it is good.

    - a lot of ants in the bedroom - gap between matress and frame is quite dirty - no blankets available (only sheets) - I had to use my inlay sleeping bag, long pyjamas and was still freezing in the mornings when it got colder and the AC was still on the same level. turning it down as suggested by the owner only helped little as it takes a while for the room to warm up again. Blankets and a more thorough clean would make a big difference.

    - generally kind staff/family - cheap snorkel rental 20k without/30k with fins

    There’s not really any chilling area, just the kitchen table which is pretty small and not very comfy. Also, it could be cleaner.

    Beds are comfy, ac worked well. Good water pressure, hot water in shower. The breakfast was really good (banana pancake with honey). Staff super sweet. One of the cheapest spot in town.
