Stayed here for 2 nights and the absolute highlight was the hospitality of the owner. The friendliest and most welcoming host I met during my time in Indonesia! The room was clean, spacious, and super comfortable — with AC, hot water, and complimentary shower gel and shampoo, which was a nice touch. You can easily book everything through the accommodation — scooter rentals, sightseeing tours, snorkeling trips — all at better prices than what I saw online. I was traveling solo, and Ari (the owner) took me around to all the must-see spots on his scooter. He even arranged my boat ticket to Lombok, and his wife gave me a lift to the harbour with all my luggage. Just really thoughtful, above-and-beyond kind of service. The place is also close to the harbour and surrounded by great restaurants and warungs.

It is fairly close to a mosque, bring earplugs

The room is very clean and modern with good AC and hot showers. Location couldn’t have been more central, especially great for scuba diving shops! The owner is lovely, he helped us with bike hire and drove us to the ferry port after checking out.

The hosts were fantastic — incredibly helpful and welcoming. They even drove us to the ferry and local restaurants when needed, and we were able to book activities and our return trip to Bali directly through them, which made things very convenient The rooms were clean, and the property is well located — just a short walk from the ferry and surrounded by restaurants and cafés.

The room would have greatly benefited from at least a wardrobe or some shelving to store belongings. Noise Consideration: One aspect we found particularly challenging was the volume of the Islamic call to prayer, which occurs five times a day, including during the night!! While we understand and respect the cultural context, we weren’t prepared for how loud, persistent, and frequent it would be, and it did disrupt our sleep multiple times. Of course, we know this is beyond the hotel’s control, but it's something future guests may want to be aware of.

Kadek and Katut (his lovely lady) went out of their way to assist in ensuring that we had a wonderful stay in Nusa Penida. They organised transport to take us to our snorkeling destinations, arranged transport with a friend in Bali, he hired out motorbikes to our sons, at excellent prices. He even took our luggage back to the harbour on our last day. However, the best was the open-hearted way that we became part of his family. On the last day, my sons caught some fish, Kadek made a fire and cooked the fish for us. Katut made some rice, salad and sauce. What a privilege it was to sit around their table, with some friends, tell stories and listen to fishing stories, a unique experience that we will never forget. We'll be back

their neighbour is building, so the entrance to Ari La Casa looks a bit messy. Don't let that stop any weary travellor or adventurer!

Clean, good light, good bathroom, great location, right on the main street, but sat back so quiet. (There are audible Muslim call-to-prayers throughout the day; I feel obligated to mention these because I deem the place “quiet”. ) The location is within easy walking distance of not only the ferry harbor, but great dive shops (see DPM). delicious local restaurants, shops, markets, ATMs, massage and most importantly, excellent gelato. The owners are wonderfully accommodating. The proprietor took me out personally on his motor scooter to see some of the famous beaches and cliffs in the area.

The owners Kadek and his wife truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome for the duration of my stay. They helped me in every way possible, including dropping me to the hospital and helping me get around after hurting my foot, and I’m so grateful for their hospitality. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable for my short 1 night stay. Location was brilliant for all of the main sights in the area and the owners even organised a scooter tour for me early one morning. Would recommend anyone visiting to stay at this properly. Make sure you take ear plugs for the mosque, but I found beauty in being able to hear the morning prayers and immerse myself into the culture.

Ari La Casa is one of those places that stands out as one of my best stays in Indonesia. The hosts were extremely accommodating because my ferry got cancelled so I wasn’t able to check in on the date as expected and when it came to check out they helped take my luggage to the port. The room was clean and the guesthouse conveniently located in the main street near Toya pakeh harbour. They also had an extensive array of services they offered that I wasn’t able to make use of since I had already prearranged but it’s worth noting

Nothing

The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, and their English was excellent, which made communication so easy. Before we even arrived, they thoughtfully provided detailed ferry information, which was super helpful. The location is fantastic—very easy to find, just a 6-minute walk from the port, making it perfect for travelers. The host also offers motorbike rentals at a very reasonable price, which was a great bonus for exploring the area. One highlight worth mentioning is the bed—it was incredibly soft and comfortable, probably one of the best I’ve ever slept on! All the basic amenities were provided, so we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Lastly, when we were running late for our ferry on the day of departure, the host went above and beyond by kindly giving us a ride on their motorbike to help us make it on time. Their thoughtfulness truly made our trip memorable. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

The surroundings felt a bit underwhelming, though it looks like there’s some construction going on, so it might improve in the future.

Komang and his wife are wonderful hosts and made our stay exceptional! Before the trip they helped us booking a boat to Nusa Penida and guided us how to reach their apartment which is very close to the harbour. On arrival we were offered cold drinks which were amazing after the crowded boat trip. The room was extremely clean. The beds were excellent! The hosts let us to use their fridge to keep our drinks cold during the stay and they offered to take us back to the harbour on our last day. If you want clean room, good price, close to shops and restoraunts, and beaches like Crystal Bay, Gamat Bay , hosts that you will feel like they are your family, this is the place to stay!

This was a beautiful stay the hosts were amazing helping us with whatever we needed no issue too big. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bathroom also spacious and clean

The bathroom is outside which is common on the island, just watch out for wildlife before stepping outside. There was also a loud call to prayer that could be heard from the room understand this is not the owners fault but something to consider if travelling with small children that are light sleepers
