i have been traveling alone and I was already in touch with Naomi before my arrival. Her english is very good and she was a quick responder to answer any of my questions. she provided lots of recommendations what&where to eat, what to visit; so dont be shy and just ask - your experience on the island will be definitely different, rather than just searching online. i did one day snorkeling tour and it was amazing!! The room is exactly how it looks at the photos. very clean, smell good, there was even a bottle of fresh water available at the small table. the air conditioner works perfectly. during my stay there were some other quests but it was quiet. The breakfast was delicious and very different. i was very happy to eat bread in the morning, not only rice.

At the hostel, rooms come with a terrace with a city view. All rooms are complete with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and some rooms also offer a balcony. At MOANA INN all rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

Rofiun and his family did everything to make our stay comfortable. There were toiletries available. The mountain view from the balcony was great. The breakfast each morning was delicious and fresh. Coffee, tea and multiple types of drinking water were available. They even cooked us a sea food dinner one night which rivaled the local night market, especially the homemade sambal! They also improved the internet connection while we were there which helped us do our work. Oh and Rofiun picked us up from the ferry was well so we didn't have to walk in the hot sun!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This hostel is one of the best hostels I have ever been. It‘s so cozy with all the different possibilities for seating places, plants, free coffee/tea/ water. There‘s also an amazing breakfast (selfmade bread with bruschetta and omlette 10/10) and the hostel stuff (thanks again to john, anned and eka) is the best! They do everything to make your stay comfortable and that the hostel becomes a second home. Extended my stay to 5 nights and still sad that I had to leave then. Will definitely come back!
