We’ve been visiting West Sumbawa for years and Merdeka is our GO-TO for a wholesome, good time. Location on top of the hill gives you the most insane view of 2 surf spots on opposite sides of the bay. It’s only 10-15 minutes stroll to the beach and even faster by scooter. They have Starlink WiFi and a sitting desk area. There were a handful of remote workers on my trip so the fast WiFi was extremely handy for a couple work emails. Lots of nooks for people to be on their laptops and read a book. The rooms are cozy and offer en-suite toilets. We’ve slept in the dorms before as well and loved the extra air flow. There is a shared toilet and shower if you’re in the dorms. Dinners are communal if you’d like to join the other guests. Merdeka brings a cool mix of people from all different walks of life. Makes for interesting conversations and big laughs. Would highly recommend staying at Merdeka. The crew that run it are like family 🙂

Beautiful location and lovely team! Rudy and Ana are so nice and helpful. He is a great host and she cooks yummy :) they have the best scooters from the area! Unfortunately no AC and no Pool, with makes the hangout at time a bit tough due to the heat and humidity. Scenery is stunning. Good value for money. Recommended :)

Merdeka house has everything you need. If you’re a surfer, snorkel enthusiast, adventure seeker or just enjoy a “bloody cold beer”, this place is for you! Staff are super welcoming and helpful with every aspect of your stay in this beautiful home. A short ride into town and breathtaking views on the top of the hill, what else could you need?! Definitely would recommend staying at Merdeka House ❤️

Merdeka house has been a joy to stay at. Incredible location with stunning views of a world class surf break. Everyone that stays here is super friendly and easy to get along with. There is a communal kitchen and lounge room overlooking the ocean which is great for hanging out and talking about your day with friends. There is a pool table and a half pipe for skating if the surf isn't exactly great that day. The included dinner is all time indonesian cuisine with vegetables and fresh fish. Not to mention the beer is always icey cold! Great value for money, I've stayed for over a month and will definitely be back.
