1. Karma Backpacker House
Type: Hostel
Tucked away in Pecatu, this spot offers a quiet respite for travelers who want to save money without sacrificing comfort. I found the shared kitchen and garden to be welcoming spaces, making it easy to meet fellow guests. The staff are notably friendly, fostering a social atmosphere with daily events and gatherings, perfect for connecting with other backpackers.
2. Surfers House Green Bowl

Located near Green Bowl Beach, this hostel provides a laid-back and chill environment ideal for wave chasers and nature lovers. It offers a very social vibe, complete with free family dinners, a swimming pool, and a communal kitchen, encouraging interaction among guests.
3. Home-Bience Hostel
Type: Hostel
Nestled in Ungasan, Home-Bience offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, feeling like a true hideout. The garden provides a great spot to unwind and connect with other travelers, and while the shared kitchen is basic, it encourages mingling. It's a place where you can easily find your tribe.
4. Lay Day Hostel Uluwatu

I found Lay Day to have impeccably maintained facilities and a pristine environment. The atmosphere here is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making it an ideal choice for solo travelers looking to connect and meet new people.
