Homestay in Kuta, Bali
If you are on a super budget trying to stretch out a few bucks the Puriagung homestay in Kuta, Bali might be what you are looking for. The singles are 30,000 rupiah (around 3 USD per night).
It’s nothing special but the staff is friendly enough and it’s in a great location just up the alley from Lima Satu and off a side road to Legion Street.
If you are in Bali on your honeymoon, this is obviously not what you are looking for. Backpackers running low on funds might find that this place works out pretty well.
It is in a good location and gets a steady flow of gap year travelers.
Turn up the alley at TJ’s Mexican restaurant on Poppies lane 1 and you will pass Lima Satu Cottages and Taman Ayu (a pretty nice homestay for 45,000 rupiah a night).
All the rooms are fan only but I am not that keen on air conditioning anyway.
Hot tea in the mornings! Woopie!
single 30,000
double 50,000
triple 65,000

Hello Homestay Puri Agung!
Myself and two other friends are interested in staying in the triple bed rood from the 29th May 2009 onward.
Can you get back to me regarding availability, room price, map, and any other information.
Thanks a lot,
Tom.
Hello Tom Edwards
The Puri Agung is not presently taking reservations online at this time.
At 3 dollars per night they cater primarily to walk ins.
There are many budget places to stay in this area, but it is rare that they will have a computer and internet because it simply would not be cost effective.
This is more of a backpackers place. Resorts and Spas will book on line but at a much higher cost.
cheers
dp
Thanks for the wonderful info.
We plan to stay there for 6 night in mid-may 2009!
Can we comfortably rely that we will get a room when we walk -in in this homestay or any other around Kuta ?
Is it a good place for a family of 2?
Hello Hridaya,
Puri Agung is not a bad place considering that it cost 3 USD per nite. They obviously do not take reservations on line and rely on being in a high traffic area where walk ins are common.
There are plenty of other places in Kuta to choose from as well. This is more of a place for super budget travelers.
If you are traveling with your family, you might want shop around and get a better place. (unless you are trying to go as low end as possible – remember this place is 3 dollars a night – more acceptable for college students on holiday or round the world travelers on a shoe string budget).
Hello Homestay Puri Agung!
i will arrive at midnight (nigth of 23-24 june 2009)at denpasar and i would like to know if it’s possible to reserve a bedroom.I will arrive at 01:00 am.
I can call you but i haven’t got the phone number.
thanks for your answer.
best regards.

Hi Thomas.
dutchpickle just puts information on the net but we don’t make reservations.
Very few homestays that charge 3 USD per nite per room will use a booking agent or take on line reservations.
The “dutchpickle” website is just making budget travelers aware of the low costs that are available, if you look around.
In Kuta there are plenty of places that will book on line but they usually start at 50 USD per nite. A fancy, all inclusive spa can run upwards or 500 USD per night.
I could probably actually make money with my site if I chose to advertise their places but that is on no interest to me.
You are arriving at a late hour but you still should be able to fine budget accommodation. There is a good chance that you will have to wake up the management but they are used to that.
Have a great trip!
dp
Ok thanks.
Cheers mate
Poppies Lane 1 and Poppies Lane 2 have the highest concentration of cheap places to stay.
Most are slightly off the main trail on the side alleys, and are popular with the backpackers. Be sure to ask other travelers what they would recommend.
dp
Hi I’m interested in staying at Homestay Puri Agung for the nights of Saturday June 13th and Sunday June 14th. Is it true you are walking distance from a surf beach? This is what I am hoping for.
I can sleep in a dormitory or in a single room. It’s just me and my surfboard, wanting to book for 2 nights. Thank you! I might arrive late on the Saturday. Do you have a safety deposit box?
See you soon!
Hi Christine,
No safe deposit boxes, but you can easy walk to the beach.
dutchpickle does not make reservations or do bookings for the places we write about.
The Puri Agung is an ultra budget but ok place to stay. It is never a good idea to leave valuables in the rooms.
dp
Hello–Do you have a bed available from 8/19-8/31/09? I’m considering coming around this time. Thanks–Kimberly
Hi Kimberly,
The Puri Agung is a super budget place to stay (3 to 4 dollars US)
They only take walk ins – on a first come first served basis.
dutchpickle puts information about places like this on the site so that travelers can be aware that there are budget places to stay in Bali
dp is not connected to the places that we write about, nor do we make reservations
have a great holiday!
dp
Dear sir:
I will go to visit Bali on first week of November, 2009 with 13 friends. i know that Puri Agung is not accept online booking. so may i know how many room in there?
waiting your response?
Best regards,
Pisith
Hi Pisith,
I am guessing 10 – 12 rooms. This is in an area of cheap loseman, so if the Puri Agung Homestay is full, just walk across the alley and check there. Try to get in a backpacker’s loop where other travelers will help turn you on to money saving places to stay and eat.
cheers
dp
ps It always takes a bit of leg work to travel on the super cheap. I have been hearing that the prices in Bali are steadily climbing.
urgent
need 1 room for 2 people for tonight..I need phones
Hi patxi,
I doubt they have phones.
This is more of a first come – first served – taking “walk ins” as they come up the trail.
Few places that charge less than 5 USD per night are able to take reservations.
dp
I would like to say this is an excellent blog that I have ever come across. Very informative. Please write more so that we can get more details.
regards
Hi:
We are a retired budget travelling couple. Unfortuanely we are arriving rather late at night. There is reluctance to honour a reservation without a deposit; understandable.
We will have been travelling all day from Northern Thailand and not in any state to lug back backs at 1 am looking for a place on Poppies. Is there any budget place under 200,000 Rp that will honour a reservation or we can book on-line using Paypal in this vicinity.
Thanks
Hi Dennis,
I suggest taking a cab to Poppies Lane 2. It is easier to access by cab.
Leave the backpacks in the cab with your partner and quickly hop out and inquire if there are available rooms at the front desk. Take a quick look and choose the one you like. Of course tip the cabbie for his patience.

My feeling is that any place that you can book online will have western prices.

Hi,
Is there any room available for 5 OCt and 6 Oct 2009 for 7 peoples. Please email me the detail.
Thanks.

Hello,
could you send the phone number of this homestay or other homestays in Kuta to my email adress. Or could you tell me, if there’s a single room available from the 5th to 9th September 2009 in any homestay in Kuta. Are they all around Poppies Lane I? Thank You!
Hi Gladys,
I don’t have phone numbers or current rates on hand and my info about Bali is a bit out of date at this time.
I apologize, the “dutchpickle” site was trying to show that budget travel is possible without booking expensive rooms over the internet. As the site grew, some readers were expecting us to make reservations etc. but we don’t.
Bali is an easy place to find accommodation and restaurants, and those with a sense of adventure will have no difficulty sorting things out on their own.
Both Poppies Lane 1 and 2 have many options – don’t forget to look down the alleys where some real bargains can be found!
dp
Dear DP
Would really appreciate it if you can accept our 1 night reservation on 14 October 2009. We are on a shoe-string budget and have received a lot of favourable feedback from those have stayed in your place. We sincerely wish to stay in your guesthouse and it would not be safe for us (all ladies) to look down the alleys for real bargains at 9pm.
Regards
Tay
Hello Tay,
It is perfectly “safe” to walk around the alleys in Kuta at 9pm.
You will find that super budget places in Bali do not have the ability to take reservations on line. The deluxe spas etc usually do accept online reservations and credit cards.
Backpackers places generally do not.
cheers
dp
Hi, i would like to ask is there any supper budget for two guys that we will travel to Bali on 6-11 of Dec.Our budget is really really tight so really hope that you can help us. May you provide us the webpage, email or even the phone number of the guesthouse so that we can know more detail about the rate and the location. Thank you.
Min Yow,
I wish that I could be of more help with recent info but I have been in the Philippines for two years now and have not had a chance to update the Bali section.
I suspect that the cheapest places will still be in the alleys off Poppies Lane 1 and Poppies Lane 2.
Probably all the rates have increased substantially since they were listed. We would appreciate any updates if you are up to it. Thanks.
Most of the real low end backpackers places do not have web sites.
dp
Hey, Do you have a single room for tonight 24/11/2009
Please get back to me?
AB
Hello Alex,
I just was passing through Bali a few years ago and put up some information about budget places to stay.
More than likely the prices have increased since then. My intention was to show that it is possible to travel in Bali on the cheap.
Most of the low end places do not take reservations on line, but cater to walk ins.
Take care
dp
Hi,
im goin to bali on 27th Dec 2009,
can i check with Homestay Puri Agung about the rates and availability?
Thx.
Nadja.
Naddy86@hotmail.com
Hello Nadja,
The Puri Agung Homestay is a super budget backpacker place and does not take on line reservations.
They depend on a steady walk in clientel.
Logic would seem to indicate that Kuta will be bustling around Christmas time.
dp
Hi dp!
Great site you have here. Highly informative too.
I am actually planning to go to Bali in March and will be travelling alone. Is it safe for a female traveller to be wandering the streets at night in search of accommodation? Just curious.
I noticed in some of the forums that the immigration will request information on your place of stay. Would this be any of a problem because I’m really on a tight budget and would rather check the hostels once I’m there. Hope I’m not spamming this site with irrelevant questions.
Many thanks.
Hello Ayin,
There are plenty of solo female travelers in Bali. I don’t for see any problems – but the touts (street sellers) and boys looking for girl fiends might get annoying.
You shouldn’t have any problems with immigration – they really don’t care where you stay and are used to budget travelers and students on holiday in Bali.
The prices listed on the site have most likely risen since the info was put on the web, but you can always find good value by scouting around and talking to other travelers.
happy travels,
dp
i’d like to know
1. 2 rooms for 4 persons available for Jun 25?
2. how much does they cost totally?
3. i plan to go to borobudur around 6.30 am at Jun 25, so i’d like to keep my luggages with you. what the earliest time i could check-in?
4. how’s far from homestay to airport and how much time could it take by car?
Waiting for your answer
Hello piya,
When this page was posted in April of 2007, I paid 3 USD per day per nite.
Guesthouses in this price range take walk in customers on a first come first served basis, and are ideal for backpackers.
I really think that you are expecting a more high end place. Usually on line booked rooms in Kuta start at 50 to 100 USD and up. Those resorts have pick up service at the airport and can provide a driver and car to take you around to places you want to see.
From the airport to this homestay takes about 20 minutes by cab.
cheers

Hey ayu,, how do you do booking? Walk in as well?
Hello lynn,
I would say that the Puri Agung depends almost 100 percent on walk in traffic.

vigo
Hello vigo,
The Homestay Puri Agung takes walk ins as they come on a first come first served basis.
Very few super budget homestays even have internet connection or computers available for use.
It kind of makes sense really – if the rooms are less than 10 dollars US there just isn’t enough profit to support a front desk with internet. In fact most places in this price range do not even use a cell phone.

Hi Linda,
Most of the super budget homestays in Bali rely on walk in traffic because they do not have the infrastructure to do on line booking.

dear dutchpickle…
if it’s possible if in 1 room contains 5 persons?
& how long it takes to walk from puri agung to kuta beach?
how many meter is that?
thx,
marcia
Hello marcia,
I am not sure but 5 in a room is probably ok.
Yes – it is a short walk to the beach from Puri Agung. Keep in mind that there are many budget backpacker style guesthouses on both Poppies 1 and Poppies 2. Spend a little time walking around and ask other travelers about other possibilities as well.

I want to go to Bali at August 26-29, may I booking one room for triple and how may rupiahs now? I am from Kupang NTT. HP 0812 3795 8668
Hello Benianto,
I don’t know – all these prices are old so you will be paying more. The super cheap places will not book on line either – you will have to do some leg work to find the best deal.
There is a selection of budget lodging on both Poppies Lane 1 and 2 – but usually down the alleys.
Have a good trip
dp
Hi Do they now have an email address? Or phone number? I would like to stay here from Dec 21st to Dec 29th 2010.
Please, get back to me on this as soon as possible.
Thanks
Hi Lui,
The super budget places in Kuta Bali depend on walk in traffic. At these prices (which are outdated by the way) they simply cannot afford to have a reservation desk with a computer.
Often the staff at the backpackers places do not speak English or know how to use a computer – this is not an insult – it’s just the way it is. If you want to reserve a room , consider the midrange places or high end hotels.
On my travels in Bali I just winged it and stayed in the backpacker joints. I am told that Kuta is getting more and more built up now days with high rise condos etc. Unfortunately I am not able to keep up with the current situation and do not plan to spend to much more time in Bali. I like to get to places more off the tourist trail.
If any readers have any interest in putting up current info – please do!
thank you in advance

updates welcome : )

Apparently they renovated the whole place, no more yellow, nasty toilet, if u know what I mean…They also got air con and hot water in some of the rooms. Pretty nice place if you ask me, but would be nice if you could do online reservation….
