It was quite far from anything else, which I didn’t realise until I got there. Which means it’s quite expensive to travel via taxi (car or scooter) if like me, you don’t have your own. BUT it’s the PERFECT place to chill by the pool for a few dahs and recoup. 😊

I loved my stay here, the staff were so welcoming, friendly and fun. The grounds and rooms were clean and well kept. Food was great, overall vibes were chilled but fun too.

These are just suggestions not negatives. Some chairs on the verandah of the dorms would be great for guests wanting to sit outside but not be by the pool. Also some basic tea and coffee making facilities would be a nice little touch - I was up early for a sunrise tour and I would have loved to have been able to have a coffee before I went.

Awesome vibe, very pretty. Secluded in the hills of Nusa Penida. About a 15min car ride from Toyapakeh Harbour. Social setting, lots of social activities and recommendations for day trips. Transport around the island is a bit harder than mainland Bali but The Project has a WhatsApp group you can join on arrival that will help with all your transport needs. The beds were very comfy, clean facilities and YUMMY coffee. Highly recommend 🙏🏼

Nothing it was the best

Book this place now TRUST ME it will not disappoint ! I was told that penida project was THE place to be in Nusa Penida and that couldn’t of been more accurate. It has the perfectly balanced vibe, with a mix of chill nights and lively nights planned out throughout the week. The food is amazing, the people are amazing, the owners are ABSOLUTE gems.❤️ I made such good memories with the people I met there, honestly the highlight of my trip. Best vibes love you guys

Just be aware that you’ll need a scooter to get around, taxis can be expensive. But a lot of people you meet here will happily give you a lift and it’s easy to get taxis from the hostel too.

Loved the property and the staff! So helpful and friendly, the vibe is great and you have everything you need including lots of delicious food. I had such a good time I ended up staying for 3 extra days. Also the resident doggos are so lovely and cute.

It's a little far from restaurants but they serve food on the premise. Road already got improved but there is still one bumpy part.

Great atmosphere Daily activities Facilities still new Staff very friendly and helpful I checked out 6 hostels on Nusa Penida and this one was by far the best

Stayed in December 2023

Bathroom a little away from the room..helpful if a mirror was in the room.

The hotel is in a lovely secluded location, 8 minutes from the main road. The road in part to the hostel is very rough, however the hostel is aiming to improve its condition..The dorm beds are very comfortable with curtains for privacy. Very clean facilities. Pool is wonderful. The staff friendly and helpful. Kitchen produces healthy meals at a reasonable cost. Bathroom clean with good water pressure in shower hot and cold.

The bumpy road I guess was a little annoying but would still stay again.

Good vibe friendly staff, clean and there was always hot water, the food was tasty also although I did think the taco portion was pretty small on taco night, 2 tacos were gon in 3 bites cant be me thats a fatso 🤷🏻‍♂️

It would be nice if they had breakfast included to the price, even if this would mean a higher rate.

Everything was absolutely perfect! One of the nicest hostels I have ever been to! Super nice oasis in the middle of the forest (even if you initially have the impression it's "far" away, you're only 7 mins away from the main road by bike - probably even less once the road has been completely asphalted). Very clean and modern facilities and a huge swimming pool! I wish I could have stayed even longer there.

Stayed in November 2023

The Location isn't the best and you should feel comfortable riding a scooter on a gravel road. If you don't ride a scooter you'll have to eat at the Hostel as their is nothing else close by.

Very comfortable beds with privacy, very clean bathrooms. Beautiful outdoor area around the pool and great food. Easy scooter Rental, the stuff is really friendly and always there to help you.

It was new so everything was so clean and looked amazing. It felt like luxury. The beds were so comfy we didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning. Also the staff were so kind and friendly and helped you with everything. And loved the new pool table
