ABIAN HOUSE NUSA PENIDA

helpful staff, location was at the main road, very near from Sampalan port.

nothing as such.

We've had a very clean room and also a very friendly host. Latra helps you with everything and has some good tips about locations like restaurants and beaches. He even took us to the ferry on our day of checking out for free. It is possible to hire a bike for a very good price (we paid 60k a day). Latra runs the place together with his family. His wife cooks amazing breakfast! We could choose out of 5 options every day and with the eggs or pancake you got fruit and coffee/tea. The breakfast was very tasty and a good portion. Although the location isn't near most of the sightseeing points, it is near the harbour and near some very good (and cheap compared to the busy areas) restaurants. There are also loads of supermarkets around. It took us around 45 minutes to get to popular viewpoints, but we liked the fact that we stayed in a quieter area. The room is big with enough space to store your belongings. There was also a water boiler with some tea and coffee. When we arrived we were welcomed with a refreshing welcoming drink and a bottle of water. Outside the room was a small veranda with two chairs, a little table and a drying rack for clothes. The room is cleaned once every two days.

The location is next to the busy main road around the island, but you couldn't hear much from the road while indoors so that was nice. We also didn't feel entirely comfortable with the open window in the bathroom. It was nice for circulation and fresh air, but there is a building with a balcony behind the houses and from some angles you could imagine that someone could see inside. The shower and toilet were out of sight though and we didn't see anyone, but it didn't feel very comfortable. But these are just two small things that didn't spoil our stay at the Abian House!

Everything was just perfect, we felt at home. 100% recommended. The best part was the host (Latra) and his family who were really nice and helped us with everything

Best host! Warmly welcomed us and treated us so well!

The location of the property is at the end of commercial street where you can find a lot of shops and restaurants. The room’s space is big with the high ceiling. It’s clean and comfy. The host is the best, his family is very enthusiastic to welcoming the guests. He arranged the motorbikes and the drop off for us. We had great impressions of the host’s hospitality.

The wall is quite thin, so you can here your next door but that’s pretty minor.

Latra, the host, is very, very nice and tried very hard to help in every way possible. He and his family are lovely and kind, and Latra seemed to worry about my safety. He told me when he thought my scooter wasn't safe, which I really appreciated. He also offered suggestions about where to go and what to see. I think maybe he was a little surprised to see a woman my age traveling alone because he seemed to want to help me a lot! 😄 But it was very nice that he was so worried. Thank you Latra. 🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 The room was very big and the bed was very comfortable. The room was clean. The washroom and shower were good.

Unfortunately, the location was much further from the harbour than I expected. It was also quite far from the main area of restaurants and cafés and the dive centres. It was also not close to the sites in the south. I enjoyed staying at Abian House, but I changed after a couple nights because it was just too far to drive to the main area of restaurants, and to the sites, etc. I also found the communication VERY DIFFICULT at first because unfortunately when you write to ask questions before you get there, it is not Latra who you are communicating with. Some woman in Bali is responsible for answering you and she is terrible! Latra would probably answer you within 2 minutes, but I didn't get answers from the woman in Bali for many hours, and when she finally answered, it was just a few words, which was VERY FRUSTRATING! I highly recommend that they change this because I almost cancelled my reservation when I didn't get an answer from them about my arrival. If we could communicate with Latra from the beginning, it would be MUCH BETTER. Latra is very attentive. Finally, I would prefer to have a fan in my room as I don't use A/C. It also wasn't hot enough for A/C. Unfortunately, there was no fan and no way to move the air because you can't open a window. The only window was the sliding glass door which is the main entrance and this needs to be closed at night. (This is a pretty common situation in Indonesia, unfortunately.) A ceiling fan, or even a standing fan would be a great option.

Best place I stayed in Nusa Penida. The family were extremely kind and welcoming. The garden was so clean and quiet. The room spotless and comfortable. I was so happy I found them after a bad experience in another hotel. They even invited a friend of mine for breakfast even if she was not staying at the hotel. So so nice!! I'm extremely grateful.
