    The main street can still be heard at night, the facilities aren't the best (often no soap at the toilet, some sinks aren't functioning).

    Very sociable hostel, meeting other people is super easy here. It's away from the main street so it's a bit less noisy. The center is a 15-20 min walk away. You can rent a scooter for an affordable price. The breakfast is great if you like banana pancakes, there's also kitchen access and unlimited water refills, coffee and tea.. The common area is great but you have some places with a bit more privacy too. There are small lockers in the rooms and the AC is functioning.

    Would be nice to have a sink outside the bathroom. There are a lot of mosquitoes and two girls in a different room said they had bedbugs. Ask for the wifi because there is no sign! (pw: goodmorning) And put your helmet in the seat or your room because mine got stolen!

    The common areas are very big and nice for chilling with a lot of people. The pool was big and there is a shower outside. There are hammocks and I could cut my bfs hair outside. The beds were very big in my room but there is no privacy. The staff is very friendly and shower has hot water!

    I wish there were more non-smoking areas. The staff at the reception was constantly smoking and every morning I was surounded by cigarette smoke from other travellers. Also the common area doesn't have a lot of comfy places to sit down. Some facilities feel a bit outdated but for the price it is really okay.

    I feel like its good value for money. Its relatively cheap which means that you also cannot expect top levels of hygiene and facilities. The pool is very nice and it has a nice garden, the banana pancakes are a nice touch every morning and there's free (hot) water. Within 15 minutes walking you are at the main street in Kuta. It's not a party hostel and away from the main road which means it quiet and nice to sleep. You can also rent a scooter for 60k a day and my scooter was in really good condition.

    Nice chillout area - would be nice to have some pillows on the wooden benches 😂 Nice pool - sunbeds could be renewed Very clean rooms, clean property overall, nice staff The bathrooms are a bit old and sometimes there was hardly water coming out of the shower. Also, there was little space to store beauty cases while being in the bathroom.

    They need a big fan in the main hangout area. That’s where we spent most of our time playing pool and hanging. The area is so hot

    Good and comfortable dorm rooms

    On the more expensive side for a dorm

    Large hostel with lots of guests so quite sociable - a big surfer community. Lots of communal space and a pool. Breakfast included and the hostel organises bike hire, surf lessons, transport and tours of Lombok

    Bathrooms are not in the best conditions, there was no hot water. Beds in shared room did not have privacy as either no curtains for some beds or transparent ones... Did not feel cosy there in my room...

    Amazing social hostel. Perfect for solo traveler. Chill pool and nature around. Perfect location in the center of kuta. Scooterrental possible and not expensive. Amazing included breakfast… it’s just bananapancakes, but they are freshly made and you can get as many as you want. Great place to chill and connect.

    The bathroom is huge but only one per room and shower and toilet are together si if one us being used you have to wait. Sometimes you get the single bed next to the door and there’s no curtain and it’s right next to the entrance

    Nice pool and common areas, but some comfy sofas would be nice. Very good value for money

    Wifi could be better in the room, but this wasn't a problem for me.

    Loved staying here! Comfortable beds, big area to hang out and meet people, very social hostel, free breakfast, warm water in the shower, good location,.. They cleaned and made your bed every day, which was incredible for the price. The people working here are super nice as well. 10/10 would recommend.

    Dorms are a funny layout so some bunks can feel exposed. AC not great but not a dealbreaker. Don’t stay upstairs in the 6-person dorm, far too hot with no fan.

    Everything you could want for €7 a night; amazing pool, in the centre of town & cracking banana pancakes. There’s multiple dorms so 100+ people are staying but doesn’t feel over crowded. Super social to meet people but not party vibes. Everyone frothing to surf.

    The bathroom is really big but there is only 1shower and 1 toilet for 8 people which is definitely not enough There is no privacy in the bedroom : only 2 beds have curtains

    This hostel is absolutely friendly and travelers there are really kind! The breakfast is amazing and you can relax in the swimming pool after a morning of surfing.
