I had an incredible stay here! I came for 2 nights and I did 2 tours - the authentic villages tour and the waterfalls and rice paddies tour. They were both led by lovely young men who are members of the family and spoke wonderful English. They were the least touristy tours I have taken in indonesia - in most of the places we were the only people. I never felt like I was being scammed or ripped off just like I was being shown around someone's real life. I ate there both nights and all the food was delicious (papaya curry was a highlight). Accomodation is simple and the beds were clean as I expected from the photos and price.

Nothing, amazing quality for a little price.

We had such a wonderful stay with this welcoming family! The accommodation is basic but more than good enough. The food was amongst the best we had in Indonesia. Would definitely recommend staying here!

I have nothing to say here

You really felt at home in the middle of the island, you can be comfortable and relax with a view of the volcano and you have greenery everywhere... the food is totally incredible and delicious, cheap and everything is prepared at the moment.

In my room there was one plug and it was not close to the bed

They also have a menu for food and it is really nice!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this Homestay! The family who runs the place were very kind and attentive, always making sure I felt welcome and cared for. They prepared delicious meals that were amazing :) I felt incredibly comfortable throughout my entire visit, and I would definitely come back again. However, I would like to note for first-time visitors to Indonesia that it’s good to be aware that insects and geckos may occasionally find their way into the rooms and due to the iron roof it can be very loud when it rains. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a authentic and inviting stay!

Would be nice with an ac but it worked out great with the fan 🙂

I arrived early in the morning and was welcomed very friendly with breakfast. Luckily I was able to get into my room also it wasn't the check in time. The room was simple without ac, only a fan. The bed was comfortable, the room big enough and the bathroom clean.

Nothing it was perfect!

The room was basic but clean, what made this place so special was the family. They were so welcoming and friendly. I was given great advise about places to go and didn’t get a tour pushed on me once. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Anything

If you dont want a luxury trip this is the best option of all lombok. The staff of the hotel is marvelous, people there is very kind and they offer you a lot of tours and options to discover the most traditional part of the island. 1000% recomended.

Staff were super friendly and welcoming! Everything was simple and made the experience feel great. Sony was a great guide that took us around the whole of Tetebatu. A perfect location to see everything!

Vandini is really the best host. She was so helpful and taught us a lot about Indonesian culture. Also, the food was very good and they even made it vegan for us! Would definitely recommend.

The accomodation is close to the rice fields. If you opt for a rice field trekking, you can start in front of the door. They also offer other activities at and around the place. You get breakfast in the morning and free tea throughout the day. The staff are really friendly and helpful. One of the staff member took me to the next homestay, when I had to move because it was fully booked. The common area is cosy and you can get to know other travellers. I enjoyed my stay:)

The whole family at Kembang Kuning Cottages welcome you in like one of their own! The food was delicious, they were all super helpful, and they offer a wide range of local tours. An amazing place to stay if you’re looking for an authentic Indonesian homestay.

Offers free water refills but wouldn’t be replaced straight away so would need to buy from the shop. We didn’t know whether it was to do with a supply issue. Call to prayer is from 5am and there is a mosque very close to the home stay. This wasn’t a problem for us but I would recommend bringing earplugs if you like to sleep in.

If you want an authentic experience with warm and welcoming family then this is the place for you. We booked 4 nights and initially thought it would be too long but it worked out perfectly. There are plenty of activities to do that are arranged by the family. We did a tour of the rice fields and rice terraces, coconut oil making and coffee roasting, village tour (bamboo weaving, pottery and sarong weaving - which you can get involved with) and a cooking class. The family could not do enough for us during our stay, especially Aldi! He took us to a sunrise and a beautiful view point of mount Rinjani at 5.30am. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone!

Our room was quite small and basic. The mosquito net on the bed had some holes and the WiFi didn't work well during our stay but since it was a 3 days stay, these little things did not bother us. Also, just like many other places in Indonesia, there is no hot water in the shower. But that is not a problem since the temperature is quite warm and mild all year round.

We travelled as a couple in the beginning of July and had a fantastic time at this homestay. When we first planned our holidays in Indonesia, and in Lombok, we were not really thinking of visiting the innerland of the island in order to prioritize other parts of Indonesia, but we are so glad we changed our minds and decided to book a 3 nights stay at Kambang Kunning Cottages, near Tetebatu. Our hosts were very welcoming and very easy going. Especially Izy, who spoke very well english and was very attentive to everyone's needs. The homestay is located in a pretty and small village and the surroundings are beautiful. It is run by a lovely and quite large family. We got to know pretty much all the family members and they are all very friendly and welcoming. There are also a few cats, and some chickens wandering around the property, and a Mosque quiet close by, which immerses you in a very local atmosphere and adds up to the local experience. The homestay has several rooms and a common dining area where you are able to chat with other fellow travellers or the owners and enjoy a a very tasty meal. Breakfast is included in the price of the accomodation, coffee and tea are free throughout the day, and you can also refill your bottle of water for free. Seriously, the food was so delicious and reasonably priced that we had there all of our meals. And portions were great too! They also offer different activities at a great price. We booked a soft trekking to see the rice fields, 2 waterfalls and the Black Monkey Forest. And we also booked their cooking class which they customised a bit for us since we are a vegan couple. We had a fab time during both activities. All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend this fabulous place to anyone who is looking to go a bit off the beaten track of Lombok and explore the innerland while experiencing authenticity and meeting very welcoming people.

The atmosphere and the people here is just AMAZING! They do everything they can to help you and make your staying better. I also did the cooking class with the mother of the owner, highly recommended! If you want to see the real local life, stay here. We were supposed to stay only 2 nights but we extended because we really liked the place.

My stay at the Kembang Kuning Cottages was a really lovely, very authentic experience. I couldn't have imagined better hosts than Vandini and her family. They were so friendly and helpful at all times and Vandini in particular made me feel at home right from the start. The breakfast was good and could be taken at any time of the day. The restaurant was also great, I had a few really good and relatively cheap dinners there. There are numerous tours that you can book directly on site to explore the beautiful surroundings. It is also possible to hire scooters.

Vandini is the best host, we ever had. She was very caring and kind. We really can recommend her coocking class.

Stayed in June 2024

The host is the best person in the world! You meet the other tenants at the table for dinner and it quickly feels like a family. It's kinda like a hostel, but better because you have your own room.
