Suwardika homestay & dormitory

This is by far the best homestay I have come across in Indonesia. It’s cozy, homey, close to the beach and everything else in sanur is in walkable distance. The biggest praise I have to give to the family. Always friendly, forthcoming and just generally wonderful. I was more than challenging as a guest. I was really sick for a while and they were always asking me if I needed anything and provided help. When I was somewhere completely different I was still able to book a transport with them, even though it was at their inconvenience. When we arrived at our destination, we got scammed for a large amount of money, but after calling Suwardika homestay they put in the work for us to get our money back. I‘ll be forever grateful for the treatment I got here. In addition to this, I was able to store one of my bags here for a month without any problems. I stayed here for almost 3 weeks in total. I was easily able to book additional beds for my friends and they were very accommodating with cancellation.

Don’t get me wrong. This place has got value for money. Especially when you’re just needing a bed to rest. The wonderful ladies in the property tirelessly handle the cleaning and maintenance of this place. However, you need to be cautious with the male owner of the property. His lousy attitude may in turn give an unpleasant experience and hurt his own business. Seems to get upset very easily and throw his tantrum at the wrong people. Upon arrival, he mistook me for someone else then started yelling and chased me away only to call me back in for check in 5 minutes later. After check out, I came back to pick up my bag and personal items. Again, he showed his displeasure by slamming his check in logbook onto the table. I have to pity all the wonderful people living with him. Especially his mom and wife who have to bear the brunt of his lousy attitude.

A small message to the male owner, if you’re reading this. Hope you can take this feedback constructively as I am certain the people around you want you to be successful in running the business. I don’t know what issues or challenges you’re facing but I believe everything can be solved. I sincerely hope that you can get past this phase and develop to be a better man for the people around you. Very best of luck from me to you.

Very good quality establishment. Dormitory room with 2 bunk beds with blackout curtains and excellent quality bedding. Good size shower room, equipped with a shower curtain to protect the sink and toilet.
Located near the seaside and close to shops.
Very welcoming hosts and available to answer any questions.

Lovely family Homestay, small but nice breakfast, great terrace to sit, take breakfast & meet people on. There's currently only 1x double and 1x 4bed dorm so it's very quiet. Easy to get everywhere from here with grab / gogek / scooter / walking

Amazing place to stay! They piked me up at the airport and got a bed made up for me even though they were fully booked because I mixed up my dates. Very lovely and welcoming!

We had a lovely stay at Suwardika homestay. So far this is my favourite place to stay in Sanur. Wayan (the family’s eldest) picked us up at the airport at 1 am and greeted us with such warmth and friendliness, despite having had to wait for our delayed flight to arrive. His hospitality was beyond anything we’ve experienced before.

The homestay is immaculately clean, our room had a big king-size bed, AC, good wifi, nice soft bedside lighting, bathroom with hot shower. Everything worked and felt new. It was quiet, away from the main road and no barking dogs. Great value/price.

Breakfast was simple- toast and fruit.

We loved it! We’ll be back. Thank you Suwardika family!

One of the few places that was so clean that I found, infinitely friendly people, good location, it was a very pleasant and very comfortable stay.

The people were very friendly. Nice homely environment, great breakfast and a clean shower! First time showering without slippers. I recommend this!

The place is clean and freshly refurbished. It's strategically located near warung and beach. Ms Suan and her son are friendly and courteous. Thank you!
