    A perfect Hostel Stay.
    • Leisure trip

    • Bed in 6-Bed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Nothing, all good.

    A hostel with a separate room for myself. Very comfortable with lots of food options within walking distance, Scooter rental available for 70k. They helped me book my fast boat to Bali at the last minute and also dropped me at the harbour.

    -power outage a few times. Not so bad if you’re not staying in but bathroom is completely dark and water stops running - can’t shower or flush toilet or wash hands. Not a massive problem though.

    -friendly staff who helped me organise trips around the island -restaurants and supermarkets nearby/ next door -6 beds in total and each bed is a pod like your own mini room so great privacy

    Very comfy stay. You basically have a private room if you take the dorm. Anim, the host, is an amazing person. Kind and very likeable. We stayed longer there also because of his nice personality. Really recommended

    The only thing I would add to the room would be a coat rack to hang wet clothes.

    excellent hostel! very comfortable, I booked it thinking it would be a shared room and I found a private room, very comfortable, the attention of the receptionist was a 10 and Anim was a great person, I took two tours with him on his motorcycle and he took me to many places and waited patiently for me in each one. The location is quite good, close to many restaurants and shopping places. 1000% recommended.

    Best Hostel Ever!

    There is nothing to dislike. There are only two bathrooms and two toilets, which could do with an upgrade, but they were spotless, and that is all I ever care about when staying at hostels.

    You will not find a better hostel than Tara Hostel. It was the best hostel of my whole travels. I am so glad I found this little jewel! A small private room, rather than just a bed. Mind your head if you are tall. It was great value for money, especially as you have your own private little space. Amin the manager, was amazing and looked after me very well. As did the rest of the staff. I could not have wished for more accomdating or kinder hosts. You can rent a bike and also have your laundry done all at a very reasonable price. Great place to stay if you are a solo traveller. Don't second guess your decision, book it before you miss out!

    Just a recommendation, to put a trash bin inside of each capsule, it would be nice.

    Everything was great. Your own big capsule with a sliding door which you could lock. Clean bathroom, free water/tea/coffee and good wi-fi. You can rent a scooter directly there and book transfer to your next destination. The owner was very kind and helpful. Booked one night and ended up staying 3 😃.

    The location, not of the hostel itself because there r a few spots around to eat. I would have stayed closer to the main port, there's much more choice of bars and restaurants.

    The hostel is clean, u have ur private room with enough room for the bed and bags. The owner is such a lovely person, always available and happy to help 💚

    The hostel just opened a couple month ago so it's new and the facilities where really good. You had a small room for yourself in the dormitory. Free coffee, water and tee The host also was very nice and helpful. He organized for me that I could go on a later ferry and dropped me off at the Harbour. I also could rent a scooter with him and get my laundry done. I really enjoyed my stay with Tara hostel

    Absolutely amazing Hostel. Each bed is like a own room, with a mattress and a small table. I absolutely love the concept of that Hostel. Amin, the owner is always there if you have a question and organizes great tour's. Fitri, the woman at reception doesn't speak English but with a translater she does her best to help you as good as she can. I definitely recommend it. 👌

    a great concept, you basically have your own little cabin with lots of space for luggage etc. its like a little private room. the staff is so nice and helpful! I was here over nyepi and they gave me food, torches and even a sarong (traditional dress) for the holiday! I felt so welcome and safe here, it was really the best choice to go there. Thank you so much for everything!

    None

    You have your own mini room with much privacy and space. Better than a capsule hotel for less than your standard dorm. I think it's a pretty new place which is why there are no reviews. Host is a local Indonesian man who is very knowledgeable about food recommendations & offers THE BEST Tours around the island for Snorkeling with Manta Rays, West Island Tour OR even your own custom tour for a really great price. (better than all the other hostels I asked) I went by motorcycle with a driver and did snorkeling with Manta & West Island tour all in one day + sunset. It was an amazing experience He even picked me up from the port with my Carry on and backpack. 10/10 would come again!

    The mattress sags when lying on the middle.

    Very original hostel. I had my own little room and it was awesome for being a hostel. Quite small so it's easy to meet people. The owner was very helpful and offered me some tours at a very good price. We also went to an Hindu ceremony and he lent us appropriate clothing for the event

    I liked everything! The location is not in a busy area, which I liked but it's something one should know. There are plenty of shops and food options around. Complaining on very I level: no plugs right next to the bed but close by

    Probably the nicest dorm I've ever stayed in! Actually it's rather a common room with private cabinets for every guest. AC works perfectly and even has separate fans blowing the cold air in every private cabin. The bathrooms were always immaculate and the shower has hot water and great water pressure. The staff is just amazing! They help you out with whatever kind of problem you might have. They also rent out scooters and offer transportation to and from the harbour for a decent price.
