The place was really awesome, nice staff, very very helpful owner. The place is very clean and perfect for solo travelers, you'll meet a lot of people here. it is Located 15 minutes from Kuta but you can always get a taxi or rent motorbike to go there. will definitely recommend this place, actually I am already doing it :)

This hostel was really nice. Rooms are cleaned everyday, which could be annoying because the cleaners come in around 9am to clean the rooms. No real time for a sleep in if you want one. All things about the hostel were pretty great. Good kitchen and great common areas.The only problem I had with it was location. Once you get there it is fine, it's the getting there that is difficult. It is very hidden and the Big Pineapple signs are super small and hidden, easy for you or the taxi driver to miss

Really nice hostel! The rooms are clean, as are the bathrooms. The hostel is not on the main tourist road/beach but it is very near and the walk seemed very safe, even at night. The swimming pool is great!!! to cool down or just to sit in with a book :) some other backpackers were pretty loud till late at night, but this might not be a surprise.. I liked the free drinking water and 3 hours good-working wifi for free!

Great hostel with great people. Every morning the cleaning ladies go on a full throttle cleanup of the whole place. I swear they were cleaning til the afternoon. Mia is extremely helpful. Only complain: My friends and I were in the 4-bed room and it was a tad bit hot to sleep in at night.

I had a really hard time finding this place on my own. but once i got there, i met some really nice people that i hung out with there and watched movies with on their big screen. there was a nice kitchen available to use and a nice little pool. i felt very comfortable at the hostel. there was also a computer for guests to use, which is very convenient. plenty of bathrooms and lounge areas to chill and free drinking water. the only downside was the location, it was a little far from everything.

Very nice place, clean rooms with friendly staff, in a quiet area but 10 minutes walking to the main Cemara street of Sanur (15 to the beach), easy meet other backpackers. The rooms are simple but clean.

Hi,our Internet connection is not the same as other Hostels.It is the fastest available in Bali.(FROM GLOBAL XTREME) It is not cheap and we only charge 50cents for 3 Hours.HOWEVER from the 26th December we will be offering our FAST Wi Fi--- FREE to all our Guests at BIG Pineapple.Thanks for coming.Merry Christmas.Mia
