    No shower, just handheld showerhead in bath. Probably needs bath removing and shower installed, and toilet relocated. No top sheet, just Woolen cover which I didn't use. I should have asked for top sheet.

    Ok homestay at Padangbai. Close to Black beach and Haunted hotel. Nice restaurant just up road. Warung Mimba. Staff nice. Room for my car. Breakfast ok.

    Not much to do, i was for the beach so it was perfect otherwise it's probably best to have a vehicle to get out if you want to see something other then the beach

    Nice and helpful family, close to a nice little beach 10-15 min walk from the nearest small town. hat a problems with my phone and the host was so kind and give me a lift into town and helped me get it fixed.

    The shower head. Must be good if you can put something to hang it rather than we hold it everytime, specially my husband he's tall. It's not comfortable with him to hold it everytime and put it down when he do the shampoo the body wash.

    The breakfast is nice. The location is very good coz you can go to somewhere easy.

    Water was not really hot. The kids did not like it, but I don't mind at tropical temperatures and find it refreshing.

    Family run Hotel with three rooms close to a beautiful beach. Family was helping and organised our transfer to Gili-Islands.

    The room smelt strongly of sewage. The owner moved us to another room. In both rooms there was no hot water in the shower (there was meant to be hot water) and the bathrooms were dirty and dilapidated. The air conditioner didn’t work well and the room was like an oven.

    The only thing we liked about this homestay was the location the port to catch the ferry to Lombok.

    The bathroom was not in a good condition. The room itself is big BUT with the tiles and missing of furniture (night stands and maybe bed lights) it felt really cold.

    staff was really nice and the breakfast was really good and with a nice green view

    The bathroom wasn’t clean enough and needed to be redone. The Wi-Fi didn’t work unless out on the terrace. And while the structure is lovely, there is decorative brickwork which means that there are holes directly into the room. The entire neighbourhood has livestock, so be prepared to be woken up by some eager roosters!

    Located exactly between white sand beach and blue lagoon, this home stay is a great little getaway for getting to know Padang Bai. The staff is a family who are very charming and welcoming (including the little dog Jiro) and endeavour to give you a good stay. The breakfast is delicious and when we had to leave earlier than the scheduled time it was still made for us.

    OK room, misogynistic owner
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room with Bath
    • Stayed 1 night

    The misogyny of the owner. Interrupting a woman half-sentence, saying that he hopes his second child is a boy because boys are more valuable. Saying "I'm the expert" and nearly missing the boat. Your usual classic case of patriarchy. A very unpleasant experience. And the dude is probably oblivious to all of that. I wish I had known it before checking in. I would have chosen to spend my money elsewhere because there's a ton of options out there.

    The location is great because it's very close to the harbor. The breakfast was nice, too. I mean, it's just a regular homestay that you can find all over Bali. Really, nothing out of the ordinary. If you're traveling to Lombok or Gili, it can be a good place to crash,

    The one bad accommodation in Indonesia

    At the time of our arrival the place had no electricity (possibly a problem on the enitre street, so I don't hold it against the facility). The bathroom was not cleaned. Again, I understand that could have been because of the electricity and light issue, but they could have: 1) done something about it later on; 2) asked us to wait for a moment and do the cleaning; 3) checked us into another room, if there was one available. Instead, they did not address the problem in any way. The place was messy. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom, no toiletries either. The room reeked of paint or maybe a paint remover of some sort, the smell was so intense it was very difficult to breathe. There were no bed sheets but the stuff fixed that when we asked them to. We had a ferry to catch in the morning, so we asked for an early breakfast. It was served around 15 minutes late.

    The terrace seemed nice.

    Unclear when the bathrooms were last cleaned. They didn’t smell, but were very dirty. Small things like hand soap are not provided. Owner promised to drive me to the port in the morning for 8am. When I asked to go the next day, he told me we’d go after breakfast at 9am, despite my boat leaving at 9am. He kept telling me it left at 930, despite me showing my ticket.

    Had air conditioning.

    Had to go up the stairs to the room there is no lift and I had a heavy suitcase. Every other accomodation would offer to help but they didn’t offer to help here.

    Room very basic which is all we were looking for that night. Breakfast was nice. The man let me go to his second home stay to use the pool there which is only 100 metres from this place
