Amazing breakfast with eggs, sausages, mushrooms, tomato and fruit/bread/coffee.
Bathroom is outdoors but super clean and lovely. Not much hot water so have a quick shower.
You can put down a deposit for towels and keys and it has bike rental.
The harbor/north side of the island is about 10 minutes away.
Other attractions like klingking is 40min and diamond beach is 1hour. Crystal bay and gamat bay is great for snorkeling.
The rooms are quiet and comfortable.
There are a few warungs a short walk away, including jungle which does good food, if you have a bike, go 8 minutes down the road to Father Field bistro.
All in all, I would recommend this hostel!!
It’s not really a very social hostel. They do have this really cool service that each night you can get a free shuttle to a beach club for sunset and get a free drink, however we found when we went, everyone split up when you got there, so it was hard to meet people. The island is very activity based, so to meet people, perhaps do a tour that the hostel can organise.

The room was nice, clean and had their own bathroom with hot water. The pool area to chill is great. The staff always ready to help you, they gave me the phone number of KOMANG (scooter driver) to arrange the tour. He’s absolutely the best one!! Highly recommended, he was super kind and in every detail.

Un hostal muy bonito, cómodo y acogedor. Se encuentra a 5min aprox. del puerto en moto (en general, para moverte por la isla tendrás que alquilar una moto -en el mismo hostal tienen algunas disponibles- o pagar taxi). La zona común es bonita, y la habitación cómoda y con cortinas en la cama que le da intimidad. Cada cama dispone de un armario con llave. Baño correcto también. Todo muy limpio (limpieza diaria), y desayuno bueno. Se puede pagar con tarjeta.

This is the best hostel I've ever stay!! It's share dorm room, but I feel like I was staying the private villa. I love the pool especially the night time. I can swim while watching the beautiful stars. Also, the free breakfast is amazing!!
The shower is always cold and the bathroom key was broken.

There is a reasonable social vibe, however the other hostels we have stayed at in the area are equally as social
For a remote location, guests are dependent on bikes and they seriously need to maintain their bikes.
We've regularly hired bikes throughout southeast Asia and these bikes are in a poor condition.
The breaks do not work very well, tyres are worn- you can easily skid in wet weather, the sparks are knackered so the engine didn't always start and required manually doing, the exhaust pipe protective cover have broken off on most of the bikes (high risk of burning legs when sharing and getting on/off-witnessed this in Cambodia) and there are broken sharp bits of plastic at the front where your knees are. Some of the bikes are an overkill in terms of power for what you need for getting around the island, we watched some people nearly crash in the carpark outside the hostel almost immediately- wouldn't recommend for first timers.
They also drain the fuel out of bike to the point where they didn't leave enough fuel to keep the bike running long enough to get to a petrol station. Both bikes hired cut out within 10 seconds, we went to reception (the night team) and we were told petrol isn't included in the rental price and recommended us to wheel it down the road to a shop that sells fuel by the bottle at much more expensive rate (about double?) compared to the petrol station price.
Bathroom isn't the cleanest. Beds are comfy, tall bunk beds with curtains. The walls are thin (can hear coughing/ snoring from other dorm rooms) WiFi temperamental and in a remote place so data is scarce. There is a pool, although no one used it when we were there.

The staff from the get go arranged everything for us and were very proactive - they anticipated our needs which made our trip very easy and reassuring.
The room was clean and confortable with plugs at each beds. Nice pool area. The kitchen was closed during our stay so they organized a very efficient shuttle service to a nearby restaurant with an amazing view on the sea.
Wifi was amongst the best I had in Indonesia.
Nothing!

We traveled in a group of 6 to Nuansa Penida Hostel, the rooms were immaculate and cleaned daily. The staff were phenomenal, always going above and beyond what was asked or expected. Free breakfast was good. Pools and general areas were clean. Lots of lovely dogs around. The center isn't too far and the hostel can arrange taxis too!
Not close to a shop, the only thing that was a little tough. Easy if you have a bike though.

It's a big hostel with lots of guest so really nice to socialize. The breakfast is free and delicious. Staff was nice and they organize activities outside of the hostel as well as scooter rental.
You'll share your room with at least 6 people and 1 shower which is not bad but also not ideally.

two nice pools, good common space, and a really nice generous breakfast included. staff were very friendly.
a few different bugs in the bathroom and some noisy animals around, but that’s to be expected as the hostel’s in quite an isolated spot.

The staff was really kind. The dorms are huge, equipped with big closets and private bathroom/showers for the dorm. Overall the hostel was really comfy and clean. I really enjoy the access to the pool and the nice breakfast.

The staff and service were absolutely exceptional. The location is good too. Decent pool as well. The staff cleaned the room and bathrooms every day. Met some great people.
I'm a bit of an OCD person when it comes to cleanliness so I did not appreciate cobwebs above my bed. The bathrooms need a definite makeover as I saw rust of some of the taps (cobwebs again here). There was a weird smell that came from the sink. Insects , flies and mosquitoes are a thing on the island so I had to take that with a pinch of salt. The neighboring and stray dogs begging for food all the time got annoying after a while. The breakfast seems like a spread but there are only 3 options and the hostel has a very limited menu and very limited cooking style too. But the nasi and mie goreng are super tasty. I stayed for 8 days on the island and hence my tolerance level was tested but if you are there for a couple of days and for the price (if you are willing to compromise on the above) then definitely stay here. Note - I don't think there's a better hostel option on the island though. But if the hostel improves these bits they can easily become the best hostel on the island.
