    Great option while in Lembongan

    I very much enjoyed my stay at Castaway. The property is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach and restaurants but tucked away to enjoy tranquility. The pool is definitely a plus to cool down when is so hot to stay at the beach, it's a very relaxing atmosphere. And last but not least, the staff! Rama and bonbon really go out of their way to make you feel welcome, I recommend Castaway Island. p.s. Movie night was really fun!

    The rooms don’t lock (not a problem though because the location felt very safe) 5 minute walk or so to the main road. The walk is a little sketchy but again I didn’t feel unsafe. Just some points to take in mind if you were to book. But I would advise doing so anyway because it’s a lovely little hostel

    Deko was super friendly and welcoming. He was super helpful and made me feel welcomed. The hostel rooms are spacious. Beds are comfy and everything was super clean. The pool area is super chill. It’s very quiet so if that’s what you’re looking for it’s ideal !

    The bathrooms were a bit rundown. Shower head kept falling off the attachment. The smell wasn’t great coming from the bathrooms.

    The staff were lovely and helpful, the rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Cheap beer at happy hour. Very chill hostel, not super social while I was there but still met people.

    The drains in the shower rooms are quite smelly. The set up of the dorms means you are disturbed by people using the toilet and shower in the morning and the door to the dorm is very noisy.

    The staff and owner are lovely and are really helpful with tours and recommendations. The pool is great and they keep it clean. It is very close to mushroom bay and restaurants - if you can get a boat that docks in to mushroom bay it's a 5 mins walk. It's not too far to walk to dream beach and devils tears but I definitely recommend checking out the other side of the island as well.

    I absolutely loved this place. I extended my stay to over a week and was still reluctant to leave when I did. Deko , the owner, is amazing - friendly, helpful, cheerful. He and his staff create a truly welcoming atmosphere. I enjoyed the pool. The rooms and whole premises are kept very clean and being serviced daily. The bed is very comfortable, has a curtain, and doesn't move or squeak at all even though they are bunk beds. Scooter rental is possible and cheap and there is free water, tea and coffee. The beach is in easy walking distance. I Think this is the best value for money I ever got. One of my absolute favourite places.

    Some curtains around the beds would be nice, but it did not bother me that much!

    The property was very close to the beach and the mainroad. The staff were amazing and very helpful with booking snorkeling trips etc.
