    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!

    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.

    The staff was so sweet and helpful. Fast response time and will organize anything you want/need. Comfortable bed, nice paintings, pretty good a/c, hot water for shower (although take your showers quick because the hot water runs out fast but this is all of Bali). It’s quiet and has safe place for motorbike parking Simple but comfy!

    The room was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. The staff were very helpful, organising a taxi from the boat, renting us out a scooter straight away and also helping us get ferry tickets and transport to the ferry on our way out. Had a lovely stay here and would definitely recommend.

    The room was kept clean at all times and all the facilities worked well. The best thing about The Banana House was definitely our host Den Ayu. She helped us organise taxis to and from the harbour, book snorkelling, and even took us down to the port for snorkelling when the taxi couldn’t. 100% recommend
