    Amazing hostel and a memorable stay in Canggu! Clean room and bathrooms with great facilities. Great location - loads of cafes and shops within walking distance. Staff are beautiful - Ari in the bar is an absolute legend! Thank you so much for a great time. I can’t wait to return.

    First view is amazing, the hostel itself is very clean, the chill area and pool area is amazing, the reception is great and local staff are incredible. Negative review because: 1. No locks on the doors, had some random people coming in and out at 3am, turning the lights on and leaving the blinds open. 3:30am somebody came in and started making a bed that was not taken. What’s the point of getting a 6bed dorm, paying more than the bigger ones, if people in the middle of the night can migrate from one place to another. 2. No curfew and no security to ask people to calm down. Drinking own booze and partying at 2:00-3:00 by the pool area, shouting and drinking own booze - I get it, party vibe. But needs to be controlled because it’s impossible to sleep. 3. The foreign hosts - they are just there, but not really doing much besides getting absolutely drunk and do “shot for a review”. Im sure as a volunteer you can do better than that, they are not involving groups in games, instead pick one group (mainly with more girls). Just not the vibe, when somebody instead of bringing people to do activities together mumbles at the mic slurring every word from the amount of drinks they had. 4. The bar is very expensive compare to the places around - it’s a hostel, should be Backpacker friendly. Instead, it has prices as high as high-end bars in Bali. Overall - it’s a good place, was really excited to meet people and have a party at the hostel, but the lack of control, responsibility by the “hosts” and no security present just ruined it and had to leave 1 day before the original booking. Didn’t even bother asking for a refund.

    Clandestino is hands down the best hostel! Absolutely amazing staff and volunteers. Ella and Joe the volunteers were very welcoming and fun to be around. The breakfast and lunch is so delicious and the free dinner is awesome as well. There are events open to the public which are a blast and Christian is awesome when it comes to recommending places to go. Rooms are great and all the people are very social and a blast to be around! I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a good time.

    This is best hostel in Bali hands down! There are different themed parties every night. The staff is attentive and want you to have a good time. I wanted to get a hotel at first but my friend recommended this place to me and I was glad I came here. Cindy the manager made sure we had the right accommodations and she recommended places that we could go to have fun. The place was my home base and it was fun to meet new people and connect. I will definitely be coming back!

    What a vibe? Had a really good time staying here. Yuli at the front desk was very attentive and made sure we had a good time. I really liked the pool and the rooftop bar. Was even able to work a bit because of the good wifi. I will definitely be coming back.

    Stay here for one week. I experienced the average age as young and many with a high party factor. Think twice if you are older and not interested in partying. Still, there was not much noise in the hostel beyond the arranged parties, which were popular. Staff are incredibly service minded and friendly. Nice room with curtain for privacy. Best of all is the large rooftop terrace with many seating areas, pooltable and bar. I missed access to coffee/tea.

    Clandestino was the best hostel I have stayed at while travelling! The pool is an absolute dream, the staff are so friendly and the vibes are always on point. The free dinners and events each night were an amazing way of meeting other travellers and making new friends! Shout out to Connor, he was a promoter during my stay. Connor was so kind and really good at getting everyone involved! I stayed over my birthday and everyone at Clandestino made sure I had the funniest and most memorable birthday. I will definitely be back again, even just to see the hostel dog Tino!

    Bunk bed frames were possibly made of wrought iron, which made a metal clanking noise every time people moved their bodies the tiniest bit. In total, we stayed in Bali for 3 weeks across 10 different accommodations and unfortunately Clandestino had the worst mattress. Our dorm room was a notch better than a pigsty - moist, damp inner wears were on top of beds, and dirty piles of clothes were on the ground. It might be unfair to blame the establishment for unkempt guests, but there’s no excuse for unclean toilets. The hand towels smelled and were unusable. I personally am a bit perplexed by the overwhelmingly positive reviews. Perhaps I am not the target group or target age for this hostel. We originally had booked 3 nights, but quickly decided to move to an Airbnb after the 2nd night. Edowardo, Julianna and all other staff were very nice and friendly though.

    Clandestino is an amazing hostel for solortravelers, backpackers and to meet different people from all over the world. The people there are amazing, always good vibes, pool to hang out and every night with different activities to enjoy and dance to music. It's 100% worth it.

  • 5/5 Katie M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best hostel we have stayed in Bali so far! The cleanliness is 10/10, good spacious rooms and lovely pool area. Will and Corey have been really welcoming, great at getting everyone involved! We love it and enjoyed our stay so much we have extended

  • 5/5 Martina H. 1 year ago on Google
    The best hostel in canggu without a doubt, I've been here for a few weeks and I've been moving from hostel to hostel. The staff is super friendly and will help you with everything you need. At night there is a great atmosphere. Thank you very much for everything and especially to Michael who was there whenever we needed him.

  • 5/5 Pratik A. 1 year ago on Google
    -Clean place and with good socializing. -When you check in you can connect to there whatsapp group in which you can get updates on upcoming games and events or can plan the night. -The lady at the front desk was too cooperative. At this price it is a good to go. Good and well maintained swimming pool

    Stunning hostel where it’s easy to meet people while you have all the amenities you could ever wish for. Very tidy and clean, helpful and friendly staff with a breathtaking view. Well located (5mins ride to the beach) and many shops and supermarkets nearby... If you come to Canggu and you’re looking for a cool place to stay don’t hesitate to visit Clandestino!;)

  • 5/5 Ady R. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is lovely, chill in the day and party at night. Average price for food and beverages. The food was so tasty too and a good quantity. The pool area is so relaxed with a great bunch of people and the 2 owners are approachable and friendly. Highly recommended

    The coolest hostel I’ve ever stayed in! Everything is amazing, good food, drinks, pool and nice people. Very clean and well kept rooms, the beds are super comfortable.

  • 5/5 Imani I. 1 year ago on Google
    Really loved my stay here! Has a great, chill area with food and drinks. The daily events are also great for meeting people. I love the staff as well - super friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend for solo travelers (who like to party at night but like to chill during the day / digital nomads who also like to get work done).

  • 5/5 Rosa M. 4 months ago on Google
    Clandestino has been one of the main reasons that my trip to Bali has been very memorable! There is so many social activities that makes it way easier to make friends. Their social workers Marie and Linni are really welcoming and good at introducing new people to the hostel and to the other people living there. I had a really great time!

  • 5/5 Julian C. 3 months ago on Google New
    Wonderful hostel to make friends in Bali. Good location (close to supermarket), very friendly staff, free dinner and happy hour with games everyday, nice pool, bar, and facilities (pool table, ping pong table), and lastly, a great American vibe. I will come back. PS: Try out the new spacious deluxe rooms!

  • 5/5 Luca 4 months ago on Google
    Very good hostel in the central of canggu. Would definitely recommend to come here. Especially nice as a solo backpacker because it is very socializing and easy to find people. The free dinner is so good to connect with people. I also want to thank Christian for making my time unforgettable there, he is a really good guy with a very positive energy🙏🏼will miss him and the hostel.

  • 5/5 Rhys M. 1 year ago on Google
    Comfortable beds, good A/C, clean bathrooms & super friendly staff. As soon as we arrived, we met other travellers and joined them for beers by the pool, later in the evening the rooftop bar had an excellent atmosphere and Ari ( The Barman) made sure everyone had a great night. Other positives include hammocks for day snoozing and good wi-fi.

  • 5/5 Jack C. 4 years ago on Google
    Best hostel I stayed in canggu. The pool was simply t. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and the bar staff were great. Good pool table and upstairs bar. The food was really good and 30% off pizza between 3-5. 10/10 would recommend.

  • 5/5 Kingk3vs 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing stay at this hostel! Stayed for a couple days and just kept adding days! The beds and rooms are clean and comfortable! The staff is so helpful and amazing to talk too! The hostel is located so close to all the perfect breakfast and dinner places! Just down the road from all the beach clubs and party places! Would recommend this place 10/10 to anyone you won’t regret! Make sure to say hi to Miami Mammi! ~the backstreet boys~

  • 5/5 Marina 4 years ago on Google
    I don't seem to be able to leave a review on hostelworld, so I'll do it here until I figure it out. The hostel is amazing, clean and the staff are lovely. Edu, one of the managers is very nice and helpful, and everyone else working at the bar/reception is as well. The location is very convenient, a short scooter ride away from the beach, a 20 min walk if you don't ride a scooter. The staff who clean the rooms are also very nice. It's really easy to meet people, totally recommend staying there! Plus, there are a few cats and super friendly dogs that belong to the hostel and are vaccinated (yes, I asked haha). I felt very comfortable there, I wanted to stay for one night and ended up staying for a week.

    Really great hostel in Canggu! Was there for 5 nights when they opened their new pool. Major upgrades.. good WiFi and working space rooftop bar upstairs! Also some of the best hostel food I’ve had in Asia.. would recommend for solo travelers

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 4 years ago on Google
    Stayed in a few hostels here and thjs place had the best vibes. Great hostel right in the middle of canggu. Lots of events at night .. really cool staff that's always helpful. And clean and comfortable rooms. Highly recommend if you're planning on staying a few nights in Canggu.

  • 4/5 Admin Cooking C. 4 years ago on Google
    for general, its nice hostel, their pool and rooftop bar is cute, but the beds for the top bunkbed is too high i think and put a lot of effort to climb it. over all is clean room and bathroom. but the bathromm gotta be clean more often :) and the transport monopoly isn't a good thing although it wasn't the hostel's policy.

  • 4/5 Shea O. 4 years ago on Google
    The bar/lounge area is my favorite part, it opens up opportunity to meet fellow travelers with a chill vibe. They host mini events such as beer pong, twister, and killer pool. (pool table is in the lounge). You can find a variety of dishes to eat, pizza, burgers, nasi goreng etc... with reasonable pricing! My preferred choice of dorms was the 6 bed which has it's own toilet and spacious shower. The pool is refreshing and on these sunny, humid days you appreciate the option of having one! If you want to hit the beach, it's only a 5 minute scooter ride down the main road, they have some rentals however they do get picked up fast! Down the main road there's a few options to rent scooters so price check between a few of them, ranges from about 60k-150k per day.

  • 5/5 Joe G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place I have stayed in Bali! Sick party hostel and the staff are so funny and helpful. Mix of dorms to stay in and everyone I have met is so friendly. Always an event on in the evening on the rooftop and which is a great way to meet other travellers. Couldn’t recommend this hostel enough

  • 5/5 Mads O. 1 year ago on Google
    best hostel in bali! great vibes, great staff, great social areas… the beds are comfy, bathrooms are nice, cocktails on the roof are delish (Ari on bar is amazing!) will definitely be coming back (for a 3rd time…)

  • 5/5 Nathan M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a Gem! The owner is super cool and down to earth. The place has a a great vibe and I would highly recommend checking this place out. The upstairs bar is a great place to hang out. Fantastic views, great music, pool table, hammocks! Love it. I will be back

  • 1/5 sahil g. 1 year ago on Google
    The hostel is not at all good I did not even stay there for night Just went to change my clothes after i visited penida . The day was long so i just went and got my clothes changed- for that only they charged me for 1 whole day. Very rude behaviour. You should NOT stay here

  • 5/5 Ctnyc57 1 year ago on Google
    Seriously the best hostel I’ve stayed at in five months traveling Southeast Asia! Love all the staff, they make this place so fun and welcoming. Shout out to Cindy!! Great pool for hanging out during the day and amazing bar to party at night! Perfect location near great restaurants and bars, on the road to the beach but close to main roads for when you want to travel outside of Canggu too!

  • 5/5 Chitra A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is amazing place to stay. They have pool bar also rooftop bars. And they have lots of games up there Beer pong, karaoke, pool table also comfy big sofa and super fast internet. The staff was amazing too. Super clean place to share with ❤️

  • 5/5 Kenta I. 4 years ago on Google
    Got here early in the morning just in time to catch a beautiful sunrise over the fields. When we got here, everyone was still sleeping but the puppies started coming out from everywhere! The cutest and sweetest puppies ever were amazing and made the best pictures. The staff were super friendly and let us store our bags until check in time because we wanted to go surfing. The facility is incredibly clean, with nice beds and great bathrooms. The pool area is very chill and at night the upstairs bar area is a great vibe. Drinks are good and the hangout was super chill. It’s located right outside the major street in Canggu and is super close to the beach

    The hostel is social and stunning. I was checking in at 2am and everything went really smoothly. Everyone is really helpful from the staff desk and volunteers. Big shout out to Christian, Ella, Tia and Cindy who always made sure everyone was having a good time! Close distance to the beach and nightlife :)

    I have been staying at clandestino for a little over a week and it has already become home. Every single staff member is a joy to be around and you can tell as soon as you walk through the gate that they deeply care about each and every one of their guests. The rooms are very cozy and clean. All of the facilities are well taken care of. The food is amazing and the free dinners are delicious and such a great way to mingle and make friends. There is a different activity every night that are well organized and super fun. I Definitely recommend this lovely little hostel to anyone looking to make friends, party and hang out with other amazing people!
