Nibugi Guest House

A lovely, comfortable room, the perfect base for a few nights on Nusa Penida. The hosts we really friendly and made us feel welcome.

It’s very close to the dock, and it’s also convenient to eat at the restaurant located at the entrance. The rooms are clean and tidy.At this hotel, it’s possible to rent motorcycles at a very affordable price! Scuba diving is also available; in fact, you can contact the owner for any service you may need. Overall, the experience is excellent!

Location near the port. The room was clean, but very basic.

- There was no staff when I arrived. (I told my arrival time before). No one answered the phone. I found a key at the room, so we went inside by myself. - No internet password written in the room - The guesthouse locates in a very small alley. Only motorbike can enter.

It was conveniently located for us, since we were diving with DPM which was very close to the guesthouse. There are lots of restaurants, supermarkets, ATM, etc around. The beds and sheets were good, and the AC worked very well. The manager and his wife were always very nice, and we could rent a scooter from them at good daily price (75.000 rupees).

In general it was quite disappointing to be honest. It is true that it is not expensive, but compared to all other places we stayed in Indonesia, it was not great value for money. Since it’s a guest house, the family started their life at around 6:30 each morning, with no regards of the guests, so between that and the very annoying rooster next door, we never slept beyond 7 am. We stayed 4 nights and our room was never cleaned, they didn’t even offer us new towels or toilet paper, I had to ask for some. The shower is almost on top of the toilet and the water takes long to go, so the bathroom is usually all wet and kind of smelly. There is also no reception, so if you don’t see someone around, it is not easy to get help or information. Also, be aware of which port you need to get to, because there is one port like 5 minutes walking from the property, but we arrived to another one that was like 25 minutes by car, and it was not a cheap ride. Disclaimer: from what we’ve heard, the standards in Nusa Penida are usually lower than in Bali, the gilis and other places in Indonesia, so my advise would be to spend a little more if you want a nice stay, or just adjust your expectations.
