    Bungalow is very nice and comfy. Short walk from the port. Only would change the sunbeds on the beach. And vish, there were not so many mosquitos.

    Property located 10min by walk from the port, so beach is much cleaner. They have their own sunbeds which are free to use for guests and restaurant on site which was super good! Many people from outside were coming there, breakfast lunch and dinners all were perfect. Silent at night in terms of parties, we did not hear any, but mosque is very close so during Ramadan it’s on till 12 at night and then again from 5am, but you can hear mosque from all over island, not a hotel fault just be prepare for it. Overall it was very comfortable stay in big bungalows , I would definitely come back.

    This is a great location! You literally walk across the road (small road that goes all around the island so everyone has to cross) to a beautiful swimming beach. They have chairs and part of the restaurant right in the beach. The staff were so nice and helpful. Really caring. The rooms are spotless, nice sheets, towels and a comfortable bed! The breakfast was so good and the little super cute restaurant was poplar for people staying at the hotel and outsiders. But never loud. I’d heard this was a party island but it was quiet when I was there. I really love walking across the road and jumping in the water. They set up a snorkel trip that was so good. Right down the street you can do a cooking class or jewelry making. The hotel set up a bike rental for me and it was so fun riding it around the whole island. You can circle the island, it’s all beautiful and interesting, easy flat ride and about 7k. I wish I was still here.

    Our room was great - huge, comfortable bed, in a quiet location. It had everything we needed, even a beach bag to take down to the sea. There were always sun beds free. The staff were super friendly and work well as a team. The breakfast choice was really good - of all the restaurants in the area, the Bale Sampan’s was perhaps the best. This place is a gem.

    Mosquitoes were quite friendly - although we were provided repellent and coils to keep them at bay. Not much more the staff could have done considering it's just part of the parcel of a tropical environment. They certainly wouldn't deter me from returning !

    Staff were friendly & helpful, Room presented as per photos & was clean, Quiet location whilst still having everything you could want within a stones throw.

    Nothing bad to note! I did read about the nearby Mosque call to prayer bothering guests but the rooms are fully sound proof so I didn’t hear a peep when the doors were shut.

    Wonderful place to stay while on Gili T. It’s right next to Turtle beach and has its own beachfront loungers. There’s also a pool to cool off. The rooms are better than expected and the small touches make it really special. I also loved the outdoor bathroom (unlike in other places I’ve stayed in) which was clean and beautiful. Food is also great, so on New Year’s Day I ordered room service and enjoyed a lazy morning and breakfast service in bed.
