The cute creatures are brought to the hostel by a Balinese dog rescue charity twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 1.30 and 3.30pm, for guests to pet, cuddle and play with.
The hostel’s owner, Daniel Silva, told MailOnline Travel that they started welcoming the puppies into the hotel because he and his girlfriend love dogs.
He said: ‘We saw the benefits for the dogs spending time with the people to help them to be ready for their forever home, and it is a special experience for our guests.’
