I love the hostel because of the social area and the people. The private rooms are very nice! The dorms not so much tbh. I had a bed without a curtain and people drom above could see me entirely. The hygiene in the bathroom is not the best & sometimes the electricity went off and the ac… but!! Still a great hostel! I‘d def come back! :)

Staff was so kind and they let us keep our bags here for a few days while we toured around lombok. I stayed both in a private room and in the dorms. They did not give any hand soap and the bathrooms and pool were a bit dirty, but the free breakfast pancake and coffee is great, and really appreciated the water filter, although it did break one day. Not a super social hostel, most people in groups keeping to themselves

Schone en grote kamers, de sfeer is top. Elke ochtend lekkere pannenkoeken. Het voelde echt als thuis ❤️ ik heb hier bijna 10 dagen doorgebracht

Super schöner Pool und Anlage, ein paar chill- Möglichkeiten ch keiten im Schatten wären noch cool und die Badezimmer bräuchten mal neue Rohre (öfters ist komplett braunes Wasser raus gekommen, vlt aber auch wegen den starken Regenfällen in den letzten Wochen). Wenn man will auch ziemlich social und günstiger Roller Verleih 🌞 ich würde wieder kommen

vibe was nice, stuff great but rooms kinda nasty. Very dark, no privacy if you’re staying at the top bed (no curtain, which is necessary especially in mixed dorms!), no hot water and bathrooms also dirty

It was social without being party, great place to chill. I wish the location was slightly closer to the beach or main strip, but otherwise great! I had a friends meeting me later, so I needed to keep my bags safe and a place to chill if I needed and the staff were super accommodating

My time in Botchan Hostel was amazing. I initially planned to stay for 2 nights, i extended for another two immediately at day 1. The staff is soo friendly and helpful. Even extanding the stay was not even a big issue (but maybe because i went during low season). I booked a private Room and the room, sheets and bathroom all were really clean, no complaint there! There was water in the kitchen 24/7. If you like to surf go to Botchan, nearly all of the hostel guests surf and it is easy to connect

I loved this hostel so much!! Beautiful social area and the people there were so friendly. I would say this is a social hostel, but a lot less intense than others I’ve stayed at. My only problem was the bathroom, not very clean and a lot of them didn’t flush. The breakfast was delish every morning. Loved this place

Heel fijn en schoon zwembad. Vooral mensen die er langer zijn en surfen. Je ontmoet mensen aan de ontbijttafel. Twee dikke pannenkoeken als ontbijt. Niet veel privacy in de 7 persoonskamer (bedden boven geen gordijn) maar brede bedden en liggen heel lekker. Gelegen aan einde van de drukte van de hoofdstraat in Kuta, dus wel juist dichtbij de stranden. Als je geen scooter huurt is het een uur lopen naar een fijn strand, dus dat is zeker aan te raden. Scooters zijn te huur bij het hostel voor 60k.

Ich hatte eine richtig schöne Zeit hier aber mehr wegen der Menschen die man dort kennengelernt hat. Die Betten sind bequem aber könnten mehr Privatsphäre haben durch Vorhänge (die meisten unteren Betten hatten welche jedoch alle oberen nicht). Auch die Bäder hätten sauberer sein können und mit noch einer Ablagefläche ausgestattet werden. Das gratis Frühstück (Bananen Pancake) waren sehr lecker, und wenn man wollte konnte man sich kleine Mahlzeiten selber zubereiten. Polster wären n...

The pool area looks just as amazing as in the pictures, but don’t be fooled — the rest of Botchan Hostel doesn’t match that vibe. The dorms are super basic and feel old-school, far from the modern hostels you find these days. It’s also quite far from the beach and main spots in Kuta. Breakfast is just a banana package, nothing else. Overall, it was okay, but I’d rather stay somewhere with a bit more character — maybe even a place with monkeys around.

I stayed here for two months, botchan became a home to me and so many others. Such good value for the price. Bathrooms are always clean and beds are remade everyday by the staff. The free banana pancakes every morning are the best. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly all the time. Loveeeee this hostel.

Più che sufficiente per il prezzo e il posto. Un bagno solo per 7 persone e non molto efficiente. Forse siamo nella media indonesiana. Letto comodissimo a una piazza e mezza. Aria condizionata ok.
