Medori Putih Homestay

Decent stay at Medori Putih. Good location and nice grounds. A few minor annoyances: - one of the pools is currently being renovated (but the other one is nicer!) - Wi-Fi is prone to sudden drop outs. - Although the guest house isn’t on a main road, the noise from heavy vehicles can sometimes be annoying. - Shower is good but it’s a “wet bathroom” which means pretty much everything gets soaked. We stayed in a standard room which was fine but asked to look at the bungalows as we’re planning to come back in the new year. They’re great and definitely worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Many positive reviews online. I booked a delux double for five nights five months in advance and was happy with my room allocation. My room was clean, modern looking and spacious. The bed had clean linens and was comfortable enough to sleep well. The wardrobe had some shelving and hanging space. The table and chair was handy. The aircon, fridge and TV all worked fine. Lighting was very good. Complimentary water only on the first night. The bathroom was spacious. Excellent hot water rain shower with good pressure. One light bulb needed replacing which was done the same day. My only negatives was that there was no towel rail adjacent to the shower and no holder for the small bottles of shower gel and shampoo. My balcony had a wooden bench seat (with no cushion) and table as well as a clothes drying rack. The restaurant has meals at mucher cheaper prices compared to nearby restaurants. I had American breakfast and nasi goreng for dinner which tasted okay to me. There are two pools but I did not use either of them. Looked like they could do with some additional sun loungers. There is also a small convenience store attached to the reception area which I found very convennient (including prices). Only a short walk to nearby restaurants, cafes, clothes shops and ATM on the main road. Just off the main road I noticed a sign advertising the local taxi (mafia) territorial rights so I just walked up to the main road to book my Gojek rides. Unfortunately, many of the local beaches have local taxi (mafias) which I have highlighted in my beach reviews. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here, particularly the peace and quiet.

Great place to stay if you're on a budget, like the quiet and don't mind a 700m walk to the beach. The walking track to the beach was a surprise bonus. Goes through farmland and forest, super quiet. The homestay is a little old but has amazing internet.
