My favourite hostel of my trip so far. The team at the hostel were so kind and helpful. Riri was always doing the most for everyone, fixing me up with scooter, laundry and surf lessons. It’s a really beautiful place to stay, overlooking rice field, close to some tasty restaurants and coffee shops too. The nasi goreng at the hostel was delicious too. The dorm is a pod system, with places to lock your items, charge your phone and even a fan. I came as a solo female traveller and felt really safe

Stayed here for 3 nights, great little hostel. Lovely view over the rice field where you can watched the sunset. 1 minute walk to the beach and surf break. Riri is a great host who made us feel very welcome and will help sort out any thing you need while staying there and booking activities. Will definitely be coming back.

It was great value for money, facilities are basic but it was a good location and had a super chill vibe. Riri was amazing helping us out with information and organising trips for us to the Green Canyon and the night market.
