I was super disappointed with the experience my friend and I had here. The hostel itself is beautiful and fun but we were really frustrated with the huge sanitary hazard we experienced. The first night we were there we found out that one of the beds in our room had bedbugs and that the hostel had been made aware of this before we checked in. They put 3 people in that bed in the time that we stayed and received complaints multiple times. Nothing was done until the day after our third night where they deep cleaned the entire room and determined that the room was infested. The whole room had to move out or find another hostel with very little notice beforehand. They did give us, as well as the others who were currently in the room or stayed in the room at some point, a full refund for our entire stay but the inaction and disregard on the hostels end is really hard to look past.

Super sociable hostel in great location- unfortunately, I got bed bug bites here, I informed the hostel immediately and they were not accommodating at all - they first responded with ‘Indonesia doesn’t have bed bugs’ which was really dismissive - I asked if I could have a laundry service done or treatment paid for which was followed by ‘sorry we don’t offer that’- again, extremely dismissive - a lovely rep gave me her anti itch cream but the reception staff didn’t seem to care- just a warning to people to check the sheets or stay elsewhere

Vibe Analysis
The Farm Hostel is a lively Canggu stay built around nightly activities, a pool area, and a busy common space. It fits travelers who want an easy place to meet people and keep the evening moving. Rooms are often clean and spacious, and some dorm beds have a curtain, light, and plug socket. The location works well for Canggu, and food and drinks are often affordable, which gives the place a solid value-for-money feel. There is a hard party side, so the mood can feel intense at peak times. Even so, the hostel keeps a nighttime quiet rule in parts of the property, so it can suit people who want activity during the day and a calmer base after hours.
Signals to check
- The social scene can feel cliquey and very focused on drinking, so it may suit outgoing travelers more than anyone looking for a calm base.
- Noise can run late, and sleeping before midnight may be difficult when the hostel is busy.
- Cleanliness is uneven across stays, especially in bathrooms, bedding, and towels.
- Breakfast is basic rather than standout.
- Some rooms have practical drawbacks such as thin bedding, no hot water, open or semi-open toilet layouts, or doors that do not lock.
