    Not that much to do and not many restaurant choices in that village, you need a scooter to get around the island. Other than this, the stay at Banana house was perfect.

    Nice room, clean, the bed was big and very comfortable. Quiet area, on a side road so you dont hear the noise from main street. Host very friendly and supportive, always helping when needed.

    Nothing - p.s don’t leave the bathroom light on at night. We left on by accident and there was around 100 mosquitos when we came back.

    Nice place to stay, clean rooms, good AC, hot water, provided mosquito spray, good breakfast

    Nusa Penida is super expensive in general and the location wasn’t great so I spent a lot of money in taxis. Also, the hotel didn’t help a lot to organise activities. The location. There’s nothing around.

    I liked the fact that it was super clean and comfy.

    I had an amazing stay at this guesthouse. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and hospitable, helping me rent a scooter at a great price and arranging taxi transportation from the port upon arrival and back to the port upon departure. The accommodation was spotless, with a spacious room equipped with fully functional air conditioning. The bathroom had excellent water pressure and hot water. The area was very peaceful, and the beautifully landscaped courtyard, filled with lush vegetation, added to the charm. Super good wifi, suitable for remote work (>25Mbps). The price was unbelievably good, offering fantastic value for money. There are several restaurants nearby, and the seafront area with additional restaurants and cafes is just a 10-minute scooter ride away. Highly recommended!

    The water pump makes a noise everytime you use it and you can hear it at night as well. :(

    We had a great and comfortable stay at Banana House. Novi, the host, was welcoming and helped us rent a scooter and book a snorkeling experience. It is in a quite area away from the main street. You have a restaurant 1 minute away from the house.

    Very clean and nice hotel with nice breakfast! The lady (I am sorry I didn't get her name) was very very helpful with information and booking boat tickets. We hired a scooter at the harbour to get around and there was also a nice cafe nearby. For the price would 100% recommend.

    The AC cooling could've been better.

    Novi was such a great host and helped us from the moment we arrived. They were quick to arrange scooters and taxi when required. The place was clean and located in a peaceful area. It is close to the (3-4km) from the port and there are a lot of good restaurants close by (quick ride from the stay). It is worth noting that Nusa Penida is quite a big island so places of attraction generally tend to be a bit far apart. Overall, I'd highly recommend this stay and it is well worth its price.

    Only "not so good thing" is that the hose of the bidet in the bathroom was leaking so it created a constant pudle of water.

    I stayed at the Banana House for three days and i was surprised by the kindness of the owner, she was very responsive and she helped me out more than once. The place is spacious, the ac works fine and the bed was comfortable. The room was clean. I would come here again. Rent of motorbike and taxi service is offered. Around the area there are some good warungs.

    Wonderful Garden Homestay on a beautiful Island!

    Nusa Penida is very beautiful & a 'must see' but very spread out so you need to have a driver & car to go everywhere which after a few days gets expensive as rates substantially higher than Bali. If you are OK driving a scooter on really narrow, potholed roads then you will be OK! 😂

    Novi is a great host and organised all our many drivers! She even provided Sarongs for a wonderful ceremony attendance. Very clean comfortable rooms in nice garden. We had a great stay! A few local Warungs close by. We were offered scooters but declined!

    Little bit more expensive than mainland but that is to be expected. Room was perfect for the night.

    Very nice sisters running the place. They use WhatsApp to organise everything for you. There is no gojek/grab on the island so you will need a driver. They sorted a driver for us "Taxi Black" - he's worth a shout out as he was very friendly and good fun to be driving around with. You will need extra cash for this service. Room is clean and basic. Ok in comparison to other accommodation in Bali. Little around so I would stay 1/2nights max.

    My stay here was truly impeccable! The family running it is extremely nice and helps you arrange everything you could possible need; from transport upon arrival to snorkeling tours. Another amazing benefit here is the breakfast (especially the banana pancakes). For only a small amount of money you have so many great options to choose from, all including fruit and coffee/tea. Furthermore, the rooms are clean, spacious and simply offer everything you could possibly need. Thank you Novi and everyone else for making my stay on Nusa Penida unforgettable!

    We had some insects in the room, but Nofi provided us of a spray which helped :)

    We had a really nice stay at the Banana House. Our room was spacious and had a big, comfi bed. There was also a cosy terrace with a view on the beautiful garden where we got delicious banana pancakes as breakfast. We could also make use of the fridge in the kitchen, which was handy. Nofi was always available if we had any questions. For example, when we rented a scooter from the guesthouse, we noticed that it had a flat tire. Nofi came over immediately to fix the problem. We would definitely recommend the Banana House if you stay in Nusa Penida!

    Great place to stay on the island! Exceptional service, close to many Warungs/cafes, Super quick to respond and help out, and excellent rooms with cold a/c and hot water. Can't ask for much more, especially for the price! Special thanks to the owner for helping us out with our luggage and giving us a free ride on our day of departure that too on such short notice. You are a legend 🙌

    The family who runs the banana house is very kind, helpful and special. I never felt so welcome in my life. You can ask the staff everything via whahsapp. They bring a scooter to the harbour or they arrange a taxi for you. Just 10 meter next to the banana house is one of the nicest restaurants on the island. The rooms are clean and the bed is very cfortable. I defenitely recommend this place.
