The staff are so friendly and great! I felt very welcome and comfortable. However there was a musty smell in my room which was overpowered by the air freshener. This was the only downside to my stay. Apart from that, the location is perfect if you are in town to surf. It is very quiet and you get a nice sunrise & sunset view. There is a nice little pool and restaurant/ common areas.

Location!

Food and drinks are more pricey than some other spots in bali but the value for money compared to Australian prices is still fantastic and the quality was great and safe.

Great spot among the rice fields and close to the beach and some cool spots. Great atmosphere to watch the UFC and other events i imagine and all of the staff were phenomenal. Smart TV’s. clean. What more could you ask for?

The staff was friendly, especially the cleaning guy. The location is at a green place and close to the beach. They have unlimited free tea and coffee. I found the restaurant a bit more expensive than restaurants near by.

Odd that they couldn't provide me with a cold water 🥵 (at the time) Ugly construction site obscuring part of the view of the sea

So good to get away from the hussle of traffic and enjoy peaceful surroundings and nature Good bar and upper resting area Loved 'Beach Love' for sunset and views just 5 minutes walk away through the rice terraces Nice pool

Always the best service, food, staff and just know when you get there! You will extend. The rooms are clean, spacious and a lot of privacy in the dorms. Location is perfect just near by the beach and beautiful sunset view from a rooftop pool.

In the common, relaxation areas, music is played from early morning until late at night. For a while ok, for a longer stay very tiring. It would be good to have more silence time in the morning and evening in

I love this place! I came for two days and stayed much longer. The rooms are clean and tidy, comfortable modern bathroom with hot water, drinking water, coffee, tea. Everything is neat, clean and tidy. A swimming pool with a view of the sunset over the ocean, a restaurant and a bar. Several spaces for chilling and working. A large space for yoga, meditation or other sports with a view of the sunrise. Mats available,stretching bands, boxing gloves and much more.The service is very nice and always helpful. I like these people. The day is much better when you see a smiling, friendly face. The area is wonderful. Quiet and peaceful but not deserted. There are no traffic jams or noise from the street. On foot, two steps to the beach. You can go left and be alone or you can go right and watch the sunset with people. Perfect place for surfing, longboarding or learning for beginners. You can rent a board on the beach. Cheap, delicious, local food in the area and if you want something western, charming cafes with delicious food and atmosphere. The walk to the famous water temple is extremely charming, between the rice fields. Just 20/30min. If you want to go shopping it's only 20 minutes by scooter to Canngu. I recommend this place with all my heart.

The cleaniness, specially of the bathroom.

The location is really good. Close to the beach without too much tourists.

Amazing location with very friendly staff, super comfortable and clean rooms, and spacious beds. The beach is just a short walk away, the traffic is distant, and you're surrounded by nature. It's a remote area with breathtaking sunsets and the roof top pool bar adds a touch of luxury - one of my favorite hostels in Bali.

Our stay was really outstanding. The staff is so friendly and easy going, they made us feel right at home. We had great conversations with them and in general a really good time. The music definitely fits the vibe and we quite enjoyed it. The rooms are clean and the bar with the pool are amazing to relax. The food was really tasty as well. Perfect location for surfers, since all the beaches nearby are surfer beaches. Absolute recommendation!

Bathroom door didn’t lock in one of the dorms Toilet didn’t always refill in the other dorm and the bathroom smelt a little damp- could do with some natural extraction/air circulation

Fantastic hotel with great staff and in a very idyllic setting. Dorms were comfortable Excellent food offerings for breakfast and general meals Would have happily stayed longer

A very good place to chill, so close to the beach where you can have good surf lessons. The staff is incredible, you can eat, drink. It was a very good moment I was supposed to stay 3 days, finally I extend to 10 days. You often meet people who come back here, it's a sign !

Sometimes its hard to get grab due to location maybe but its manageable

Oh swell, how beautiful what a view just breathetaking. Wallkable distance to a beach hardly 5 min. Good food, extremely helpful staff its just perfect. Calm location, it makes you feel relaxed and never leave the hostel 😅 booked for a day and then ended up extending it for 3-4 days.

The staff and the people I met there were incredible. It’s a peaceful place to relax, with everything you need for a great day. The beach is nearby, and Canggu is just a short drive or Grab ride away. The natural surroundings are stunning. I have wonderful memories from my time there
