Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
the outdoor area is nice for chillout, but I was in shock when I saw the rooms. geckos are shitting in beds, the showers are a hygienical nightmare & there are bed bugs. I was packing all my stuff after 2 days & left because I couldn‘t handle it anymore. No keys for lockers, you need to bring your own lock. Not a social hostel & nothing to do in this area. The staff was friendly tho. also no breakfast or water etc. included, so for that price you can definitely find a better stay…

There were bed bugs in our bed and we had the move. Hostel staff were not very helpful and we felt like a big inconvenience for raising the issue

Pool was not clean, ended up getting hundreds of small bugs camped out in my backpack from locker storage, bed bugs seem to be a prevalent issue there as posted on the window which would deter me from booking again. Environment ‘was good but I would not stay another night.

Vibe Analysis
The pool is the main event at Blind Dog Inn: big, clean when it is at its best, and surrounded by garden seating made for slow Sanur days. This is more of a calm stopover than a chaos machine, with a relaxed, semi-social mood and plenty of lounge space for doing absolutely not much. Beds are often wide and comfortable, with large lockers available, though a padlock may be needed. Rooms are simple, usually with AC in the evening, and the traditional, open layout gives the place a rustic Bali feel. There are friendly dogs on site; the names and lineup may have changed. This works especially well before or after a boat from Sanur, or for a cheap, quiet reset near the port. The beach, restaurants, and bars are walkable, but the area can feel a bit sleepy and not especially central. Staff can be warm and helpful, and food or breakfast options may be available, but service can feel inconsistent.
