Buton Backpacker Lodge

Great location with nearby food places which was great. Good area to talk to hostel roommates and make plans. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The hostel in general is ok but the room I stayed in needs a revamp and needs redoing. The bed plan, dosent give enough room to manage your belongings, so backpacks and suitcases are made to be left in the middle of the room which limits the space in the room. I understand they would like to maximise potential with the room they had but they either need to rethink the plan for the room or limit the bunkbeds to 2 a room. There were cracks in the walls, electrical sockets not fitted properly, so wires hanging out, could cause an issue. Lockers don’t have sufficient room to put your belongings in it, which is one of the reasons why bags and suitcases have to be scattered across the room. To sum it up it looks fancy from the outside, till you go inside. For the price can’t complain but a quick refurbishment would help the establishment massively. If I would return to Bandung again this would not be my go to place but would keep it in mind for worst case scenario.

Excellent location close to the train station and some shops nearby. The breakfast was also excellent! Tip: go to nearby Tipsy Panda for a few drinks and live music.

The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful with booking tours. They make you free breakfast that is good.

Good breakfast fast Owner is pro and kind

Not very clean The two workers are not very interested by the work and play on the phone everytime when you ask for anything .
