I had great time and one of my favorite hostels i have stayed at

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hidden gem of a hostel on the breathtaking island of Nusa Penida, and it exceeded every expectation. From the warm atmosphere to the stunning location, this hostel offers everything you could ask for during your stay on this beautiful island.

Just the location is a little far out from anything but you can rent scooters/ get taxis from the hostel.

The check in felt very welcoming. The hostel had a really cool layout. The staff were friendly, fun and helpful. The boxing class was fun and they had daily events for everyone to join in. Although there wasn't much around, the facilities onsite, staff and other guests made the stay!

The Penida Project is a hidden gem in the jungle, while still only 8-10min drive away from the centre & beachfront. Special shoutouts to Jordy, Haha and Sam for their warm welcome and attention to details to make you feel at home. I will be back to ring the extension bell!

The beds on the top are hard to reach.

I absolutely loved everything. The staff was so nice and they helped with everything. One of the owners showed me how to drive a scooter. If I needed anything they would help me. The food was also very delicious. Also it was quite easy so socialise, but it’s not a party hostel, so you can have a chill time. For me the Location was absolutely perfect, it’s in the middle of the jungle, but you will definitely need a scooter so get around. I would love to come back. Thank you so much :)

It’s a little out of the way , but it’s totally worth it. Feels like a little family once you’re there.

The staff were amazing , felt so welcomed especially being a solo traveller. Haeqal was so sweet and helpful giving recommendations for what to do on the island. Also having the restaurant at the hostel was so convenient and the food was amazing. 10/10 stay.

The only thing i can think of is that there was no soap provided for the showers, which i then went to buy upon arrival, but thats normal in hostels .. just make sure you come prepared

vibes , pool, classes, workers

This was the best hostel I have ever stayed at! The staff were 10/10, no, 11/10! It was the perfect vibe - social without being a crazy party hostel. The food is the best on the island and the beds are insanely comfy. I don't usually sleep well and my sleeps here were epic. Thank you Penida Project, you are ace, I have been telling all my travel friends to stay here

Everything about the Penida Project is on point. The location, the staff, the stay, the food and most importantly the vibe. My most favourite hostel in the entire Bali trip. I wish I had a few more nights in Penida. The owner was at the counter and made sure I got my laundry on time despite the public holiday. When in Nusa Penida, ‘The Penida Project’ is your goto hostel.

A bit far from everything, but that’s expected in Nusa Penida

Very clean and comfortable beds. Social environment. Amazing food.

Top bunks are a little difficult to get into. Only one bathroom which was not a problem but a little annoying to get to in the night.

Amazing property around 15 minutes away from the main pier. Its not close to anything though so expect to spend your evenings in the hostel. I liked that it meant it was so social though, with lots of activites on offer to do throughout the day.

The bathroom could have been more clean. The accommodation is a bit far from everything and hard to get to due to the road. This was absolutly no problem, as the hostel is a great place to stay in the evenings as well, but would have been nice to also see some of Nusa Penida by night :) Just something to keep in mind.

The Penida Project is a great location to stay! The staff is very friendly and from the moment I entered the accommodation, I felt welcomed and part of the family. The poolparty, the family dinner and the sunset yoga were amazing. It is very easy to meet people and to arrange transfers via the hostel. The rooms were also very confortable, as your sleeping kind of in your own cabin. The swimming pool and surrounding garden are a great bonus to relaxe to the fullest.

great location (no crazy traffic) lovely people easy to make new friends. I really enjoyed the basketball court the night events and the relaxed atmosphere this great hostel offers. the yoga evening and the karaoke night made my stay! I would actually suggest to have yoga all evenings, the atmosphere is too good to do it only once per week. the guys managing the place are nice people and treated every host as a family member! I was a bit worried about transportation as driving the scooter is not my thing however there are plenty of taxi car and taxi scooter that you can request via WhatsApp. definitely recommend!

I love this hostel! The vibe is gorgeous, it’s social as they have stuff going in every night such as movie night , karaoke etc the food is insaaanely good, definitely one of the highlights. Beds are comfy, bathrooms and showers are super clean! Only thing is you definitely need a scooter if you’re staying here! Would absolutely recommend. :) p.s puppies!!

Stayed in July 2024

it takes you about 20 minutes from the main road to get there. That was kinda a bit annoying especially in the evening, cause the road was not the best. And the food was a bit expensive, still ok tho.

The stuff and the vibes and the offered program was amazing. It was comfortable and clean. Loved it.
