Great value for money.
Pros:

Great value for money, responsive staff, great option if diving with Sanctum as they will provide transportation to the dive center. Room design is industrial, amenities are basic, good air conditioning and clean bathroom with hot water.

Cons:

15min Uphill walk from town, recommend renting a scooter to get around the island. No ride share apps on Nusa Penida.

Pros:

La habitación muy limpia, el lugar tranquilo, y el personal muy servicial y a disposición todo el ratón

Cons:

Todo bien, quizás la ubicación pero depende para lo que quieras hacer, a nosotros nos vino bien porque queríamos estar cerca del puerto.

Muy cómoda
Pros:

Estaba todo en nuevo y muy limpio. La cama es enorme y super cómoda. A destacar la amabilidad y servicio del encargado, que estuvo atento de que nuestra estancia fuese idónea en todo momento. Había algún mosquito y nos trajo en medio de la noche un anti mosquitos y al día siguiente nos dio otro. La ubicación también es estupenda.

Not for families or remote workers. You get what you pay for.
Pros:

It was nice being able to rent scooters for 80k a day on site. They highlight was the babysitter Eluh. She was so kind and good with our baby girl. I wish we could take her with us! This hotel is about a 5 min walk to a really good restaurant, Mambo, with spectacular sunset views and delicious cocktails. Honestly, just stay at Mambo if you can. It’s the best hotel we saw on Nusa.

The king bed was comfy.

Cons:

WiFi, AC and power went out frequently. We had to have the owner show us how to reset the breaker when it happened. The shower water was boiling hot when the power went out which happened mid shower one time and it was very unpleasant.

DO NOT book snorkeling tour with the hotel. We were charged 400k per person which was much higher than booking through GetYourGuide and the hotel tour went to less spots and for less time. We only booked with the hotel because they said it was 400k for both of us. I think there was a language barrier.

Also, arrange your own transportation. We relied on the host to arrange a car for us at port. The driver was 30 minutes late, we had to wait in the heat and chaos (with a baby) and then he didn’t have room for us because he was picking up other people. Mind you, we told the host there were three of us.

Комфортные виллы . Мы комфортно разместились втроём !!! Очень близко от причала куда приходят караблики . Рынок и суперм
Pros:

Большая просторная новая вилла ,удобная кровать с Новым матрасом . Есть Куллер с питьевой водой , чай , кофе без ограничений . Наличие кухни стало для нас определяющим при выборе места проживания на Нуса Пенида . Чистый комфортный бассейн 🏊🏻‍♀️ и тёплый .

Cons:

Нет такого

Bien
Pros:

La chambre était très spacieuse, l’environnement incroyable, une très belle vue.

Cons:

J’ai trouvé que la décoration était très rustique, la salle de bain pas très propre et pas d’eau chaude. La piscine était très sale aussi, ce n’était pas possible de s’y baigner c’est dommage. De plus, à mon arrivée j’ai beaucoup attendu pour être accueilli.

Amazing place! I loved this! 😊
Pros:

The place was spotless. The Shower was excelent, internet fast, great pool, amazing view, peaceful. Sauna was a very nice plus. Huge and super clean bed. Specious room. They have coffee, tea and water available in the kitchen. Location was great with view of forest and 3 min by scooter from the beaches. I loved a lot. The host was also very very helpful. I recommend with closed eyes.

Dirty!
Pros:

Location was nice, staff is friendly and helpful with renting motorbike. Room is decent size with free water refill.

Cons:

Needs a deep cleaning! A dirty old towel was used for a floor mat and had strong smell. We dropped something under the bed and was horrified by the dirt, dust, and smell. No hand soap in bathroom. Cheap body wash and shampoo in plastic dispensers that barely work. Towels and bedding are worn and old. Water from tap is very salty and fixtures are rusted. Lots of bugs in room and no mosquito net. Cheap air fresheners placed throughout the room to hide smell but unsuccessful. Public kitchen is nice amenity but everything is dirty and disorganized.
