The dorm was very basic and the lockers to secure your stuff were broken. The shared bathrooms were very dirty. There was also mould on my mattress when i lifted up the sheet. I only stayed one night out of 4 that i paid for. If you do decide to book this hostel i suggest viewing the room before paying as i didn’t get my money back when i told that staff my issues. They didn’t seem to care about them. Other people also had complaints and also left. As a female solo traveler i didn’t feel s...

La verdad que el personal amable, pero una vez llegue a la habitación el olor a humedad era insoportable y la del baño a alcantarilla y el grifo roto. Total que no puede pasar ni una noche por el olor.

Translated to English

The staff was really friendly, but once I got to the room the smell of humidity was unbearable and the bathroom was a sewer and the faucet was broken.

. Bed wasn’t clean, bathroom dirty and walls dirty too. Had at least 12 millipedes in my room, other bugs too. I asked to swap room, the same in the next room. Even the receptionist squealed at the amount of bugs when I showed her. When I asked for a refund due to the state of the property - I was denied because it was ‘non refundable’ yet the conditions were abysmal. All around bad experience unfortunately.

The staff didn’t really communicate and we were not offered breakfast for our entire stay. The rooms were dirty and one of the rooms didn’t have a door in the bathroom. Was supposed to get towels but were missing one. The only good thing was that the door locked and the bed was comfy.

Arrived at 11pm - was able to check in which was nice, however there was no power in my room and I was given a head torch as a replacement… when I got into my room the bathroom was wet like someone had just used the shower, when i arrived at 11pm? Staff very friendly and the room is overall okay, probably fairly priced

They had bedbugs!! I only noticed on my second night after I had loads of bites all over me. Checked the bed and I could see the bedbugs on my sheets. Staff offered me to move me the bunk above but that also had bed bugs and ants all over it 🤢. No offer of a refund and I doubt they actually tried to decontamination the room after they saw the bugs. A stray dog has also learned how to open the dorm doors and let itself into the lower bunks. It would scratch and sleep in the beds that people we...

They charge an extra tax & service fee on top of the total amount from Hostelworld which already includes tax. Not much going on in the Hostel. Good showers, bad wifi, bad ac in the first dorm next to the showers. Dirty walls from dead mosquitoes.

i had a private room, it was nice but the bathroom was very small and unpractical, not soo clean and it smells very disgusting, it was very loud in this house, they didn’t clean the room once in 4 nights, i had to ask for toiletpaper and take the rubish from the room, and the staff speaks very bad english, also the kitchen is very dirty!

Girls on the front desk were lovely, location is fine if you don’t mind being further from beaches, rooms are great good showers- hot water dosnt last very long. WiFi is very weak. However do not hire bikes here, the owner willingly gives out death traps which engine cut while driving and the horns don’t work, this incredibly ignorant rude man denied all of this and blamed our driving. Was a struggle to get our money back yet he reluctantly did. Besides this man, it’s a great hostel great ...

Betten waren gut und die Räume groß. Man hat viel Platz für sein Gepäck!! Die Toiletten und duschen aber sind sehr dreckig und nicht wirklich einladend.

I did not really enjoy this hostel. I had a private room and it felt not the cleanest. The floors were ick as well as the walls. I have low standards but this was even a bit much for me. I slept on my towel and only stayed one night

BEWARE! The receptionist tried to make me and a friend (2 separate occasions) pay the full amount instead of the remaining amount after paying a small part via Hostelworld. We saw a comment about this and it still happened to us both. They say it ‘taxes’ but that’s already included.

El personal no hablaba bien inglés, muchas veces no entendían. La habitación privada muy bien, cómoda. El baño no era cómodo, el desayuno demasiado flojo y la ubicación no era cómoda (moto para todo). Hubo grupos de amigos que estaban a los gritos y con música fuerte hasta tarde y nadie les decía nada.

Translated to English

The staff didn't speak English well, they often didn't understand. The private room was very good, comfortable. The bathroom was not comfortable, the breakfast was too loose and the location was not comfortable (motorcycle for everything). There were groups of friends who were screaming and loud music until late and no one said anything to them.

I was really surprised by this place. A lot of the reviews said it wasn’t a social hostel, but it was great for me and I made such amazing friends here. The price of this place is great, and it is about a 25 minute bike ride to most places, but apart from that, it’s a good starting/center point for a few days in Uluwatu. The private room was great and very cheap with a really great free breakfast from the lovely staff every morning. Thanks again guys
