Welcome to Broken Compass
The most unique hostel on the Gilis.
The hare-brained scheme of four kiwi brothers who grew up wandering the world, its grown from a conversation 3 years ago to a wonderful enterprise that we are very proud of. We’re pretty sure we’ve got accommodation to suit you – from dorms with and without en-suites to spacious private rooms – all with air conditioning!
So take a look around or get in touch if you have any questions. You won’t find us on those booking sites – our aim is organic natural growth by the one thing a traveller trusts the most – Word of Mouth! But you can book with us through email.
