Staying at RR Cottage was a hit, an excellent choice for our needs. To be honest, the hotel and the host exceeded our expectations. The hotel is intimate (only 4 cottages), with a beautiful garden and a swimming pool and loungers for relaxation. The owner takes care of every detail: there are extra towels for the pool, a good scooter can be rented on site, she helps arrange a ferry to or from the island and arranges a cab to get to the hotel, which is about a 20-minute drive from the port. The hotel is some distance from the town which means you have to drive to the store. Literally 50 meters from the hotel is a nice warung and there are several within a few minutes by scooter, with really delicious local food. What's more, nearby you can also find a small spa where, for little money, you can relax with a pleasant Balinese massage after a day of sightseeing.

The only thing that may disturb the rest of sensitive people is the fact that the doors open by moving the door leaves to the sides, which means that they cannot be closed completely tight from the surroundings. For this reason, small insects and geckos may enter the room. There's probably nothing we can do about it and it wasn't bothersome for us in any way, I'm only mentioning it so that no one will be disappointed.

Our stay here was nothing short of amazing. The place was clean, and the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They even helped us order food delivery, which was a lifesaver on those nights we just wanted to relax. One night, when I fell ill, the lady of the house made me a soothing tea, showing such genuine care and concern. They also assisted us in contacting our driver, which made our outings seamless. The highlight of our stay was when I accidentally left my wedding ring at a beach club. In the middle of the night, the gentleman of the house hopped on his motorcycle to retrieve it for me. I can’t express how grateful I am for their kindness and dedication! We will never forget their hospitality and the lengths they went to rescue my wedding ring at such late hours. Thank you for making our stay so special! Nico & Steph from Switzerland and Colombia :)

Our stay here for 3 nights was very comfortable. There are 4 bungalows near the swimming pool. We lived in the second one. The room is big, the bed is cozy, even we have wardrobe and tv. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. We did massage near the pool. Aleksandra is very hospitable, attentive and ready to improve your staying. She solves all your problems. There is a lovely DJ Warung near RR Cottage. Dinners are perfect. There is a big choice of very tasty dishes, fresh juices. The hostess is very friendly and the best cooker. We would like to return here once again to RR Cottage and DJ Warung. Thank you for remarkable experience.

There are were few mosquitoes.

Ayuk is a perfect host and really went out of her way to help me. The scooter I rented for 75k per day was good and no problems. Ayuk arranged a massage for me at the pool for 100k - it was very good. She also called several people when I couldn’t find a taxi during a ceremony and got me a good price. Very good host! The location is good to visit different parts of the island and 2 good restaurants within a few minutes walk. I would recommend this stay 100%.

The power went out on my last night and I struggled to sleep as no A/C and I was sick but this was not the resort’s fault and I understand is a rarity.

We loved so many things about this property, it really surprised us. Things we loved: 1. The lovely staff and two ladies whom we met during our stay. The owner/manager and the head of house keeping, they were both so welcoming, friendly, helpful and kind. They really made the stay fantastic. 2. We loved that there was someone on the property 24/7 so if we needed help with anything, also that we could communicate via what’s app. This really made us feel safe and also that we were not alone. The location is a 15minute ride from the harbour or main area, so it was nice to be able to have contact with our host. 3. We liked that the room had a small fridge / mini bar fridge in it, this makes all the difference, especially on hot days where you need to keep your water cold and some fresh fruits and items. The humidity in Indonesia can be really high, so keeping food in the fridge is a must. 4. The garden is amazing, so many beautiful butterflies and birds. We were amazed at how many different butterflies we saw here. One morning we just sat outside for about an hour watching all the butterflies, incredible. 5. We love the little dog on the property, she is beautiful, loving and smart. 6. Breakfast was included in our stay, and they did their best to accommodate us as we’re vegan and plant based. I liked that my morning noodles were a little but spices and full of flavour. 7. Swimming towels can be provided which we loved, it meant we didn’t have to wet our shower towels and that we always had dry towels. This was really nice as the humidity on the island can make things take a long time to dry. We loved the swimming towels. We felt safe here, the room was clean, and there is a Warung that serves local and western food, literally across the road. We love their fresh orange juice and dragon fruit juice.

The flies can be intense sometimes, this isn’t anyones fault - it’s nature, especially with the humidity. We only had a fly issue one morning, the rest of the time we were okay. You do need a scooter to get to and from this property, we do have scooters so that made it easy for us. The aircon above the bed in our room, this is something we wish accommodations wouldn’t do, the aircon above the bed is so bad for health and I did start having some chest problems after that, so always good to not put aircon above bed. This property is amazing, and we loved almost everything, we even wanted to extend and we may return soon for another stay. One of my top suggestions on the island - and we’ve looked at a lot of places, so far this is one of the best. 🌟🌟🌟

The family that owns the place are wonderful hosts! It really feels like home. We rented a bike and, after we started riding it, got really scared of the road conditions in Penida (do not get a motorbike unless you’re really confortable driving one!). We called Ayuparwat and asked her to collect the bike as we didn’t want to ride it back (I was terrified) and she was super nice. She came with her husband and got us (and the bike). I couldn’t be more grateful. The place is clean, comfortable and their cute dog is the most adorable! Truly a wonderful place/family that will make you feel like home. The location is ideally located if you’re visiting both the east and west penida. There are three restaurants within walking distance which are quite good.

There’s nothing not to like about the property. If you are not comfortable riding a motorbike be aware that you might spend a significant amount of money with taxis. But that is true regardless of where you stay in Penida, the attractions are very far from each other. We ended up hiring a driver for the 3 days and negotiated the price. We used a company called NP taxi, you can find them on google.

We had a great stay at RR Cottage. The staff was really nice and provided awesome breakfast on our porch every day. The simple room was clean. There was no mosquito net, but we didn't have any problems with mosquitos so that didn't bother us. The pool area is nice too. We also booked a snorkeling trip through them and they organized a laundry service and taxi for us to get back to the harbour. The location is convenient too, 15 min from the harbour and right across the street is a really good Warung. We also rented a scooter through them for a good price. Would definitely come back! As a plus: two very cute dogs live there.

RR cottage was our best place to stay of our whole vacation! Hostess is incredibly sweet, making breakfast everyday and always willing to help us get taxis for transport or for the whole day for a good price. Often walks by to see if you need anything. Room is spacious, getting cleaned every day and they even did some laundry for us when we didn't got clean clothes anymore. Location is great, you can rent a motorbike and within 15 min you are at the harbor with a lot of nice restaurants. The dogs Amelia and Coco (pup of 2 months) are super super sweet, don't bark and always love to cuddle. We had an amazing stay here and would recommend this hotel to everyone who is going to Nusa Penida.

We loved our short stay at RR Cottage. The location is great, away from the busy port area but close enough to the boats to Bali. As many people say, it’s a little oasis and considering how hectic Nusa Penida is, it’s just priceless to have your nice bungalow with a little terrace and garden view. The staff is super helpful and it’s true their English is not amazing but it’s good enough to make all the arrangements you need. The breakfast is perfect with a nice selection of options and additional fruit. They also offer tea and coffee anytime during the day and we really appreciated it. When we arrived, they also offered a scooter to go somewhere for free but we didn’t need it because there are 2 nice restaurants very close by. The room is cleaned daily, the bed clean and comfy. I disagree with all the negative comments left by some people here. Yes, the water pressure in the sink is not always amazing yet the shower is actually perfect, but you just can’t expect luxury if you want to stay on an island in Indonesia unless you want to go for a big western style hotel. Yes, there are some mosquitoes but actually very very few and no other insects at all. And yes, you may see a gecko in your room but it’s perfectly normal and actually means that there are even fewer insects. I definitely recommend this place.

Everything was amazing. Ayum and her staff were always so lovely, always offered tea, coffee and water whenever we needed. They even had a three month old puppy Coco and his mother Amelia who were just adorable, and really made our stay there as they joined us for breakfast or relaxing by the pool. The whole space is so relaxing, only a few rooms so it is extremely quiet, the view is amazing, the balcony is in the shade so it’s lovely to have breakfast every morning. The breakfast is great too and adapted to give us a vegan option. The rooms are clean and spacious. Cleaned every day. The pool is lovely and had the sun all day, they will bring pool towels for you and turn the fountain on. We rented a bike with them for 75k per day which was a great deal. We had an incredible stay here, we very rarely have a 10/10 experience.

Nothing, everything was great. Have more puppies!! :D
