Our 32 Best Hostels In Canggu
The Farm Hostel Canggu – An All-Round Hostel
The Farm Hostel is a bit of a luxury hostel and it’s a bit pricier than some of the other hostels in Canggu.
However, the Farm Hostel has a wonderful central location that really puts you in the heart of the action for the town.
They have both private rooms and dorm rooms at the Farm Hostel and there is a ladies-only facility.
We love that the grounds of the Farm Hostel host a lush tropical garden and it’s nice to hang out with friends here.
If you have the budget to stay at the Farm Hostel, you’ll find that it’s money well spent.

Tribal Hostel Bali – Coworking Experience
Tribal Hostel Bali is a hugely popular venue with the digital nomad crowd and that’s probably because it has a dedicated co-working space on the grounds.
It’s quite handy to be able to live and work in the same location and not everyone has a private room to set up their computer in at a hostel.
We love their bright pink billiard table for winding down at the end of the day and because they have a huge pool (an infinity pool, no less), you can always find somewhere to cool off after the heat of the day too.
Female solo travellers will be pleased to learn that there are ladies-only dorm options as well as mixed dorms.
Their dorm rooms are spacious and comfy, Tribal Hostel is very popular for good reason.

Lay Day Surf Hostel – The Ultimate Party Hostel
When we say party hostel, we really mean it. The Lay Day Surf Hostel is cheap and cheerful and it has a party every single night of the week.
There are four pools at the Lay Day Surf Hostel and you don’t have to be a surfer to stay here, in fact, their friendly staff are ready to welcome every visitor with no discrimination.
The small private room is suitable for 2 guests and has a private ensuite too. They have mixed dorms and female-only dorms.

Kos One Hostel – Beautifully Designed Rooms
This is a very swanky-looking hostel with a pair of onsite jacuzzis for use by their guests!
Their dorms are limited to just four guests per dorm which is lower than average and might reduce the odds of sharing with a snorer.
It’s quite a long way out of the main part of Canggu though and if you opt to stay at this one of our best hostels in Canggu, you might spend a bit more than normal on Grab and Gojek fares.
Where Is It? Jl. Pantai Batu Bolong Gg. Canggu No.78, Canggu, Kec. Kuta Utara, Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361, Indonesia
Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel – Solo Travelers Delight
The Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel is the best hostel for being in the middle of the popular Berawa Beach area and it’s very cheap.
Each bed at the Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel has privacy curtains, and its own international standard power socket and reading light.
The view from the pool area at the Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel is very pleasant and you can gaze out over the local rice paddies and fields while chilling on the sun terrace.
We think it’s very obvious why the Dip & Doze Boutique Hostel is so popular as soon as you arrive.

However, if you want to work alongside digital nomads during the day and then rave all night long, this is going to be a great place for you to spend your time in Canggu.
They have some great on-site facilities including a pool table, foosball and ping pong.
We would also note that they may have the largest and most comfy beds of any party hostel on the island.

They only accept adults as guests and there are no private rooms just dorms that cater to up to 12 people each (there is a female-only option).
They have a nice outdoor kitchen, decent shared bathrooms and super fast Wi-Fi with plenty of places to work throughout the building.
The downside of staying here is that it’s a bit of a hike from the centre of Canggu.

Elsewhere Surf Camps Bali
Surfing, partying, yoga and adventure are what they promise here but you must be over 18 to join in the fun.
There’s an excellent onsite bar and the private rooms are really comfortable.
However, you are expected to take out a fully-inclusive package which includes surf and yoga lessons, rental and insurance, as well as some meals, drinks and more.
