A hub for hippies, yogis, and digital nomads, Bali<\/a> is one of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia<\/a>.<\/p>\n While Bali struggles with overtourism<\/a> (I\u2019m looking at you, Kuta Beach<\/a>), there are still massive swaths of the island where you can get away from the crowds and enjoy the picture-perfect landscape. Naturally, there’s a lot of hostels to choose from on the island. <\/p>\n Below is my list of the best hostels in Bali. If you don\u2019t want to read the longer list below, the following are the best in each category:<\/p>\n There’s also a large shared kitchen in case you want to cook. Another big plus is that the showers have hot water \u2014 something not all accommodations offer in Bali!<\/p>\n Indraprastha at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n They don’t organize events but the staff can help you book all kinds of tours and activities. A filling breakfast is available each morning and there’s also a swimming pool and communal kitchen too. They have a female-only dorm as well. Overall, it’s a solid, affordable choice for budget travelers.<\/p>\n Gelatik Bed & Breakfast at a glance: <\/strong><\/p>\n I really like that the beds here are actually comfy (unlike most party hostels). The mattresses are thick and all the dorm beds come with lockers, lamps, electrical outlets to charge your phone, and curtains for privacy. If you want to party, stay here.<\/p>\n Clandestino Hostel Canggu at a glance: <\/strong><\/p>\n All of the dorm rooms have four beds so you’re never crammed in with other people. The bunks are sturdy and the mattresses are thick. There are outlets, curtains, and lights for each bed, and all the rooms have balconies, air conditioning, and individual lockers to ensure your things are safe and secure.<\/p>\n Arya Wellness at a glance: <\/strong><\/p>\n Dorms have modern pod-style beds with outlets and reading lamps. There are also stairs to the upper bunks rather than the usual noisy bunk bed ladders, and rain showers in the huge shared bathrooms. And while it is a very social hostel, the crowd is mostly young professionals, meaning that everyone is quiet and respectful at night so you’ll get a great night’s sleep here.<\/p>\n Tribal at a glance: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Hostel for Budget Travelers<\/strong>:\n<\/div>\n\nGelatik Bed & Breakfast<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBest Hostel for Digital Nomads<\/strong>:\n<\/div>\n\nTribal Bali<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBest Hostel for Solo Female Travelers<\/strong>:\n<\/div>\n\nArya Wellness<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBest Hostel for Partying<\/strong>:\n<\/div>\n\nClandestino Hostel Canggu<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBest Overall Hostel<\/strong>:\n<\/div>\n\nTribal Bali<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nWant the specifics of each hostel? Here\u2019s my breakdown of the best hostels in Bali and why I love them:<\/p>\n1. Indraprastha Guest House<\/a><\/h3>\n
![\"Two](\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/IndraprasthaBali.jpg\")
\nSet right on Hanoman Street, one of the main drags in Ubud, this guesthouse is entirely made up of affordable private rooms. The rooms are spacious, have AC, and comfortable mattresses set on sturdy wooden frames. The guesthouse is quiet and calm and I especially like the lush tropical garden (it’s a nice place to relax and lounge). <\/p>\n\n
\n <\/p>\n2. Gelatik Bed & Breakfast<\/a><\/h3>\n
![\"Long,](\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/gelatikbali.jpg\")
\nA ten-minute walk to the beach in Seminyak, this is one of the more affordable options in the area. Everything is clean and modern and the dorms are spacious and bright with sturdy bunks and super comfy beds. Each bed has their own light, outlet, and locker (but no curtain). There’s a bar on-site that sells fresh-squeezed juice and cheap beer. <\/p>\n\n
\n <\/p>\n3. Clandestino Hostel Canggu<\/a><\/h3>\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/clandestino.jpeg\")
\nClandestino, located north of the airport in Canggu, is an energetic party hostel. They host all kinds of events each night, including dance parties with DJs, drinking games (where you can win free stays), and even tattoo parties (where you can get a cheap tattoo). There’s a pool with a swim-up bar too.<\/p>\n\n
\n <\/p>\n4. Arya Wellness<\/a><\/h3>\n
![\"White,](\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2023\/aryawellnessbali.jpg\")
\nThis boutique wellness-focused hostel in Ubud is an upscale hostel for women only. The property has a swimming pool and offers yoga, Pilates, fitness, and meditation classes. There are also movie nights and cooking classes. The in-house restaurant serves only vegetarian and vegan dishes and a fresh, filling breakfast is included with your stay.<\/p>\n\n
\n <\/p>\n5. Tribal Coworking Hostel<\/a><\/h3>\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/tribalbali1.jpeg\")
\nCreated by fellow budget backpacker Will Hatton<\/a>, Tribal is a brand-new hostel, the first in Bali specifically designed for digital nomads. There’s a 24\/7 coworking space with super-fast Wi-Fi, tons of desks, sofas, and beanbags, as well as private booths for calls and lots of power outlets. There’s a huge multi-level pool, a cafe serving healthy eats, and the on-site bar has a daily happy hour with cheap drinks.<\/p>\n\n
