Looks good to me.
I think you should try to include some testimonials and perhaps move the 'contact us' tab to the end. (so it's more to the right hand side of the screen)
I recently just bought a guesthouse in Lovina, Bali. The place was already running for a few years, but the previous owners didn't spend much time on marketing it.
Anyway, I have created a new website for the place and would like to get some feedback on it.
It is done in Joomla and uses the Jomres component to take bookings.

Thanks for the reply. We are just getting our first customers, so haven't specifically asked for a review/testimonial.
What do you think is a good way to get testimonials? I have thought about making a guest book where people could write comments, then maybe we could copy them to the website. Obviously we want to focus on getting some good reviews going on Tripadvisor also.
I think getting some video testimonials would be an excellent way to promote the place, but I think you really need the right guest to ask.

Video testimonials are a great idea! You do need the right guest with the right charisma, but I think you can find that by asking everyone to participate. Since you’re just opening up you could ask all of your guests if they would be willing to help you document the hostel’s progress with an interview. Ask them a variety of questions, like:
1) How did you find us?
2) What do you like best about the hostel?
3) How could we improve to make it even better?
4) What has been your favorite experience in the city?
5) What has been the best travel tip that someone has given you or that you would give to others?
Organize it like a comment card, but ask them to give you their feedback on film. The answers to what they liked best about the hostel will become your testimonials. With their favorite experience in the city, their travel tips, etc. you could make a great hostel video or a custom guide for your area.
Not everyone will be willing to sit in front of a camera, but you only need a few good interviews. One of them is bound to have the charisma you’re looking for, so just use that one for the final cut.
