Where do I start with this review???? This was so good I have rebooked to come back! If you love snorkeling, you can walk out of your room, down some stairs and into a beautiful coral reef and coral farm. The variety of fish is brilliant along with the coral. Now for the host, Mel. 💕💕💕. I have a new sister. Mel went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as can be. They have a gorgeous restaurant next door and you can order anything to have in front of your room! Breakfast was beautiful. There are 2 gorgeous dogs, Ly Ly is the best, just loves a cuddle. The room is great, just the right size with a small bathroom. Worked perfectly for my husband and I. If this is available and you love the water, book it immediately ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And… if you need someone to plan your tours or transport, ask Mel! Her contacts are reliable, look after you and the pricing was cheaper than organizing direct. Thanks Mel, see you soon 😊

I couldn’t fault the location of the property. It was right on the ocean and the view from the room was incredible. Being able to jump straight into the ocean from your room made my stay. There were restaurants all around and easy motorbike distance to most restaurants and sights.

Nothing.

The most beautiful place I’ve ever stayed at. Waking up to this view every morning was amazing. I spent the day snorkeling out the front and loved the attached restaurant. We tried Penida Colada twice but Tabo’s food was far superior. Such a quiet atmosphere there too. My husband worked from the rooftop above the restaurant as it had PowerPoints and a great view in the shade all day. Can’t wait to come back.

Perhaps the walls could use a little paint refresh but that’s minor.

Felt like a family run guesthouse. Very personal service. Helpful staff. The room was really cute. You cannot get closer to the water than this! Slept like a baby. Great location to explore Nusa Penida. Good restaurants in walking distance.

Nothing

VnS is stunning, right on the water and next to some lovely bars and restaurants. Mel and Surya make your stay so comfortable and easy! Mel organised every boat ticket we needed, moped to rent and snorkelling tour so the stay was stress free! Would recommend to anyone!

The fact we had to leave. We were advised by a friend to stay for only 1 night in Nusa Penida, next time we visit VnS Guesthouse in Nusa Penida we will certainly be staying for 2 or more nights.

Absolutely everything. There is nothing not to like about staying at VnS Guesthouse. The host and staff were absolutely lovely, and extremely welcoming. The view from the property is amazing. The location is absolutely perfect. The room was extremely clean and the owner’s dogs were the friendliest dogs we have met in all of Asia (which is very comforting as dog lovers). We asked where we could rent a scooter, the owner Ida, assured us that she could get us one. Within less than 20 minutes there was a scooter outside ready for us to use. She has been the most welcoming hostess we have met in the last 2 months of travelling around Asia.

Can be a bit hard to find.

Located directly on the beach with stairs to the water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Let us keep bags at the Guesthouse after checking out to allow us to explore the island longer. Located within a quick scooter ride of many great restaurants.

Needs better signage on the main road, so travellers can find it.

This accommodation is right on the waterfront. Very new, the facilities are impeccable. Hot and cold shower, fridge, beautiful decor and very helpful and inquisitive owner. When I bought the room for the night it was also very cheap.Rather than a solo traveller, this residence is perfect for couples.

Best place we stayed on our holiday. Room was beautiful and clean, views from the guesthouse were insane, and was a private little villa behind a small mart. Mel helped us organise everything, scooter, manta tour, taxi. She was an exceptional host, and her family there we super helpful and kind. Will be recommending to anyone I know going to Nusa Penida! Thanks Mel and family!

What a gem of a place with the added bonus of 2 super friendly dogs. Excellent communication, if you need absolutely anything, nothing too much trouble. We booked a couple of trips through them and again communication from Mel was outstanding. The room was spotless and the views were amazing ,only a few steps to the sea ,was slightly rocky at bottom of the steps but we had water shoes so we were fine, my husband went snorkeling and said it was brilliant and plenty to see. Really close to plenty of restaurants and cafes and a shop right behind. They are in the process of opening a restaurant will will be ideal (good luck with the opening). Will stay certainly stay again but for longer next time

It was a little noisy at night, if people chose to stay up and chat on the deck, as it's right outside the rooms. You could hear a bit of noise from the nearby bar, but it really wasn't too loud. There's not many facilities right now, and there's construction on your way in, but that wasn't a big deal.

The location is insane. Right on the waterfront, you could literally walk down the steps outside your room and you're snorkelling in an amazing reef. The staff are friendly and BONUS! There are dogs! The sweetest little puppers will cheekily enter your room and hang out, wanting tummy scratches. They are clean and friendly. The location is perfect, there's a mart right outside the hotel, and multiple beach bars to have brekky at. I recommend the smoothie bowl at Penida Colada.

This place is stunning and the view from the room was absolutely amazing! We were even able to walk straight down to the water from the guesthouse. There was two friendly dogs who made the stay even more enjoyable. It’s right next to restaurants which was super convenient. If I’m ever in Nusa Penida again I will definitely stay here 😊

We’ve never been anywhere else in the world where you are literally waterfront. It is an oasis amongst the bustling area you want to be in and cannot fault the decor, atmosphere and staff. We loved every minute of it.

There was ants crawling on the floor from the sliding doors to under the bed. Also the shower didn't drain so it was like a mini bathtub in the bottom when we'd shower. Getting from the street to the guesthouse was a bit odd and would have been hard to locate if we hadn't gotten a taxi through the guesthouse to get there.

The location was very beautiful being right on the water, convenient location, and the room was nicely decorated. They even helped with transport to and from the Port as well as a scooter rental. I accidentally left something and they kindly brought it to the port for me. We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back!

Amazing view right outside your door and the location was perfect with plenty of restaurants, shops and right across the road from dive schools

We had a lovely stay here - many thanks to Ida for hospitality. The place is wonderful! We will definitely come back!

Stayed in December 2023

Geckos as soon as its dark and the room space is also small compared to the price they are asking!

The view outside the room is just wow! They have only three rooms and the owners stays in one room so the availability will be only for two rooms. All three rooms have the same view. They are expanding and the restaurant work is ongoing but because it is still under construction, you will not get food pr breakfast options in the hotel.

The sea view and decorations , staff were helpful
