KUBU YANG COTTAGE

Breakfast and everything was clean

Only cold/lukewarm water in shower

The location of the place is 10min walking distance from the Sampalan Beach harbor, where boats from Bali Kusamba harbor arrive. It's really cute, cozy, and clean with the most adorable family that runs it. We loved our stay :)

Nothing to mention :)

Nice Family, very clean, breakfast simple. You Need a Scooter to Go around the Island.

There was no housekeeping and other maintenance staff. The entire cottage was managed by a single lady who could not understand English well. For any query, her most frequent response was "Sorry"! Some of the furniture was also broken in the rooms. Considering that the location of the cottage was a bit remote, the cottage should have offered the option for lunch and dinner. Only breakfast was available with minimal options. The water was saltish and there was no water heater.

The room is spacious and really nice. Just have on mind that the property is kind of far away from everything. I don’t have driving license so it was a bit expensive for me to rent drivers all the time. The location is also a big plus if you’re looking for a calm place. In the bathroom there goes salty water from the tap and shower. The breakfast could be better - at least to add some fruits to French toast or yoghurt. Serving just 4 pieces of toast with a bit of chocolate doesn’t seem like proper breakfast right. The owners are really nice people, even it’s hard to speak with the woman English.

Was a nice little cabin. You should be okay with lizzards which weren’t that big of a problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay here maybe come again. It’s not far away from the main road and we loved Nusa Penida because you have everything but it isn’t too touristic in that area which was perfect for us. Manager of the hotel is super lovely as well, she responds to any wishes, even though she sometimes doesn’t understand you 100% which isn’t too dramatic. You can get along just fine with her.

Maybe the lizzards but that wasn’t a big deal for us.

This is my second time to stay with them. It is true family feeling and back to home. Thank you always for your warm welcome.

Nothing, just the kindness of the hosts. Absolutely unhygienic: urine on the toilet rim, a shower full of grime, rust, and insects, no running water in the shower, and only salty/sulfuric water in the sink and in the shower as well. We asked to use the shower in another cottage, but on the last night, none were available, so we went to bed dirty (after being at the beach all day). No outlets in the bathroom. The roof is open, allowing all insects to come in, and there is no mosquito net. Very far from the center, not at all close to a swimmable beach. The last night, we had a power outage and the host was unable to tell us when it would be resolved, even though we needed to prepare our things for departure the next morning. No solution was offered. We had to ask for a flashlight. Communication is also very difficult because the hosts don’t speak much English, so we had to use Google Translate. Additionally, the snorkeling activity to see manta rays they offer (through their friends) is a scam! We didn’t see any manta rays (which isn’t their fault ofc because nature is unpredictable), but they suggested alternative spots that we didn’t even visit, claiming there were "too many people," and the excursion lasted less than 2 hours instead of the planned 3 hours.

The dirtiness and almost everything

The location was great with a beautiful garden. The family that host us were really welcoming and really helpfull. They helped us giving us the traditional dress to go in the temple and reccomend us tipical restaurants. Made, the owner, was really kind and friendly. Beatiuful place to stay, close to the centre, you can reach it by walk as well or you can rent a scooter with them as well. Best bananas that i haver ate 😚

Nothing

Pretty clean and not far from the main road, big room, big towels and fast wifi (!)

Water is salty so we decide don’t take a shower there especially for your hair
