The Penida Project

It was such an amazing hostel, very social and everyday an activity. An amazing pool and the people I met here were fantastic! Especially Lucia, who just works here! She is amazing!

Nothing

One of those few places on earth that creates a genuine connection between everyone staying here. Met a lot of new friends while staying. Loads of social activities offered by the Hostel (check their groupschat). I really liked the pool to chill out. Bunk beds are spacious enough and it’s overall clean. It was Full Moon Party on my first night, still I wouldn’t call it a Party Hostel. They also have the most cheerful staff! Kudos to Sam and Lucia especially for going the extra mile in customer care 😉

Top bunks are for tall climbers only. Not too much locker space in my room for a big suitcase. You need a quite expensive taxi to go anywhere on Nusa (wouldn’t recommend riding a scooter as the roads are super steep and in bad condition).

Het hostel is netjes onderhouden en heeft een heerlijk zwembad. Alles ziet er netjes en schoon uit. Ze hebben een restaurant daar waar je prima eten kan halen. Ze hebben elke avond een activiteit. Het is er rond 12 uur stil. Je hebt een locker waar je backpack in past.

De locatie is afgelegen. Zonder eigen vervoer of taxi kan je nergens naar toe. De stapelbedden zijn extreem hoog en lastig om in te klimmen. Als je een kamer boven hebt is de wc voor in de avond wat ver.

Really nice stay, staff were really lovely and helpful and the place itself was nice and a really nice atmosphere!

The distance from everything else was slightly inconvenient but still a lovely location!

The facilities here are amazing and you can tell they have really thought about the layout. A separate toilet/shower block is a smart move and means none of the rooms get stunk out, whilst the cleaners don’t disturb anyone to clean them too. The rooms are spacious with comfy beds. It’s got a homely, peaceful feel to it, and everyone is friendly with daily activities and a WhatsApp group to get people involved. Staff were super friendly and helpful. One of the best hostels we have been in.

The only downside I would say was the price tag, I think for that price then a complementary breakfast should be included! Many hostels which are a 3rd of the price include a breakfast and would encourage people to come out and sit together during that 2 hour window. However this didn’t detract from how great of a stay it was.

Vraiment comfortable et la piscine et bien entretenu.
