Pool area is nice and the staff are exceptional.
The bathrooms were dirty, the beds are uncomfortable and you can’t sit up in them.

The establishment could be much better if the maintenance wasn't neglected. Unfortunately, the toilets are deplorable! Showers with a trickle of water, broken taps and unnecessary cleaning... you'll still have the pool to wash yourself...

comfy bed is my only positive!
toilet was broken, so was the shower. 4 bed dorm was for 8 people not 4. Bathroom wasn’t cleaned once while we were there. dirty and run down. Also tried to charge us more money upon arrival as they said booking.com was wrong.

Location and pool and beds are comfy
The bathrooms need a lot of work. They don’t drain properly, if you have a shower the whole bathroom floor gets wet. Water pressure is very average and kind of only comes out of one section in the shower head. I had mosquitoes in my room too, think they came through the bathroom window.

This our third time returning to WTD as we love it so much! Everyone’s so friendly and the staff are really helpful. Laundry is cheap and you can hire a bike. Rooms are comfortable too.
A bit of noise on an evening but it’s expected in a hostel!

Nice pool area, lovely staff and the 4-bed dorms are helpful with double beds for a couple. The location is good for exploring Canggu. Free water refill is always a bonus too!
The second time we’ve stayed here but this time was not good. An awful night sleep as other guests and music was really loud until 1am. No staff there to keep the shouting and loud music down. I know it can’t always be helped if some guests are inconsiderate and ignorant of their own behaviour, but this was very annoying. First time around was more chilled, and this time was more party vibes. It would help if breakfast was included as well.

So happy to stay here very clean & good place to stay.
The location in the middle of Canggu.
I feel so safe for single woman to stay.
Five stars for the staff, they are so friendly.
And they have a free Sunday BBQ, and you can taste a local dishes.
Maybe if they put more beanbag or chair or sofa. I can imagine i'm having a chill time in front of my room while daydreaming or reading my book.

Nice hostel with a great pool & relaxing area. The 4-bed dorm was fine and the double beds were comfy. The location is good as it’s around 20 mins walk to the beach.
Considering there are two people sharing a bunk, there is a lack of space to put your items at night and everything is on one side of the bed. The lockers are under the bed which is awkward. This hostel was cool but it wasn’t the cleanest and the rooms & bathrooms are dated, so in need of an update and deep clean. They also played music unnecessarily loud during the day & at night, even if there wasn’t anyone sat outside, maybe it was to make it more of a party atmosphere but I got the impression nobody booked the hostel for this.

We came back here after visiting 3 weeks ago! The refurbishment is a HUGE improvement. The pool and bar area are so nice and inviting to chill.
The staff are so welcoming too. Hermin is a star! She helped me so much when I had Bali belly!
3.0 / 10.0
Really cheap so a backpackers dream really. Lots of things going on in the hostel, very social. Jimmy and another woman who worked there were lovely.
My boyfriend’s trainers went missing, were presumably stolen. Staff said they’d check CCTV but they never updated us.
We stayed in the double bunks room and had 3 disturbances during the nights in our 8 nights our staying there. The doors are unlocked for anyone to just walk in, which made us feel unsafe and we couldn’t get a good nights sleep because of it. Random people were coming in during the night.
Should definitely invest in locking the dorm rooms.
Our bed sheets were never changed, despite us asking at least 5 times for them to be changed.

Pool area was nice and sociable
Different events e.g. free BBQ, family dinner, games night, etc.

Great location!
A few ants in the room underneath the beds (where the luggage was kept).
A bit noisy on an evening from the music downstairs but stopped at 11pm ish

Great Hostel, great people and great atmosphere.
Highly recommend staying here if you come to canggu.
The hosts are amazing and giving their best to make your stay as good as possible.
You directly feel welcome and part of the family.
I diddn't like canggu that much so i left after two nights. I would have loved to stay longer at the hostel though! :)

A really gorgeous new hostel. Such lovely people that work here and really make sure your stay is a great one. A nice social vibe and in a really central location. Such a great addition having a clean pool to dip in and a gorgeous chilling space. I would 100% stay again and am so happy I went in the first place!
Having to leave!

Economico, divertente
Prima recensione negativa in anni di booking.com
L'ostello è molto economico e di per se molto carino anche se un po sporco qua e la, con una clientela festaiola (forse un po casinista ma ci sta) più che altro millenials con una overdose da Jersey shore (un po cringe ma sicuramente di intrattenimento), lo staff un po freddo fin che non effettui una consumazione al bar ma fa parte del gioco.
Non abbiamo usato la piscina dopo aver notato che era usata dai cani come abbeveratoio.
La camerata che ci hanno assegnato era al piano terra con le porte a scorrimento di vetro non esattamente funzionanti quindi facevano molto rumore ogni volta che si entrava e si usciva.
La totale mancanza di regole nell ostello ha comportato disagi di vario tipo:
da alcuni ragazzini che entravano e uscivano ubriachi fino alle 4 del mattino ribaltando le proprie cose cantando, alla porta lasciata perennemente aperta anche di giorno (mentre l'aria condizionata era in funzione per tutto il giorno, ciao friday 4 future)
Questo ha portato a trovarci due adorabili randagi che entravano e uscivano dalla stanza quando volevano per dormirci o grattarsi, tanto carini quanto malandati.
Dopo le prime due notti siamo dovuti scappare a causa di una infestazione di cimici da letto abbastanza consistente. Da annotare l'intervento del guardiano notturno che in maniera estremamente gentile ha cercato di aiutarci spruzzando del veleno anche se poco dopo le cimici sono tornate piu di prima(evidentemente l'infestazione partiva dalla struttura del letto ed il veleno le ha fatte schizzare fuori). Abbiamo passato la notte in bianco nella sala d'attesa aspettando di effettuare il chek out e fuggire. Nella hall un altro simpatico cane è venuto a farci compagnia per la notte.

Konumu bahçesi odaları güzeldi
Çalışanlar tuvaletlerin günlük temizliğini güzel yapmıyor. Çalışana lekeleri gösterdim sadece orayı temizlemiş. Diğer kirler aynen duruyordu

La piscine est un super espace pour chiller ! Très bon rapport qualité prix. Le personnel est très gentil. La chambre était propre, il y a des casiers pour les affaires et deux salles de bain ! En plein centre-ville, beaucoup de commerces à proximité.
Un peu bruyant le soir mais l’ambiance reste très sympa.

Het is erg fijn dat er iedere dag wat gepland staat en met de hostel dagtrips kan gaan doen.
De kamer en badkamer waren schoon, groot en netjes.
De ligging was top, gelijk winkeltjes en restaurantjes. Y
De airco in de slaapkamers staan erg koud dus is erg koud s’ nachts.
We hebben in onze trui geslapen, terwijl het buiten warm was.

Korte stop in canngu in dit gezellige hostel. Ontvangen met een gratis bbq met gegrilde kippenkluifjes made by Bella. Goed bed, sfeervolle tuin en een vriendelijke staff. Ik ga zeker nog een keer terug!
Eigenlijk was het helemaal naar mijn zin. Ik heb nooit hoge verwachtingen van een hostel maar deze stak er met kop en schouders bovenuit.

Heel sociaal hostel, behulpzaam personeel. Prima zwembad.
De douchstraal was niet fijn, er kwam te weinig water uit om goed mijn haar te kunnen wassen. De bedden waren erg laag, ik kon niet zitten in mijn bed.

War in der nähe der Hauptstraße, etwas abgelegen (2min fußweg) was es perfekt zur Lage gemacht hat denn es war ruhig dort. Ich hatte ein Frauenschlafsaal und es war super. Es ist so ein großes Zimmer und hat ein sehr großen spiegel im Zimmer. Außerdem ein Riesen Balkon.
Im Badezimmer waren tatsächlich ein paar Ameisen, für mich aber keine große sache gewesen. Im Zimmer waren sehr sehr viele Mücken. Trotz Mücken spray aus asien wurde ich trotzdem gestochen.
