    We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time! We stayed in one of the Julu rooms. Beautiful and comfortable room, but a bit dark. There are a lot of mosquitos, though. Taking a shower, brushing your teeth, or even using the bathroom was quite the challenge. We also never used the lounge area outside because of the mosquitos. Overall, it was really an amazing stay, and we would highly recommend staying here! It's really one of the better places to stay on the island. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we loved the cats walking around! And if you're lucky, you'll spot some turtles just outside of the resort. We did, and it was so special! No boat tour is needed! The food was also good. We ate here every day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and enjoyed every meal! The resort is also very quiet. You wake up with the sound of the waves and birds. We would gladly come back and would like to thank the staff again for a wonderful stay!❤️

    We didn’t like having to leave :(

    Absolutely loved everything about our stay here. The location is wonderful for those wanting to be away from the noise and crowds but all of that is still easily accessible on foot or bike. The resort itself is designed so beautifully with all the trees and the beach gorgeous. The snorkelling from the beach is excellent and we saw so many turtles and different types of fish. We stayed in the Juli suite and it was great. Very spacious and comfortable. The day bed was a lovely addition. Breakfast was plentiful and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The staff were ever so kind and attentive. We also loved the cats that live at the hotel 😻 we were there for 8 days and walked a lot around the island. We didn’t see another hotel that looked as welcoming as Wilson’s. We’ll definitely be back to Gili T and we’ll definitely be staying at Wilson’s.

    To be honest. When we first arrived and saw the room, we thought fantastic and oh,that's quirky,the bathroom was outside? Great.. but not really, you had to be so careful not to let the bugs into the bed room and trying to use the toilet while trying to stop being bitten by the bugs was impossible..we were both bitten so much.

    Loved the location. The feel of the place. The room was huge. Breakfast was decent and tasty and was all I'd hoped for. A really nice resort.

    The WiFi was very slow, which was not a deal breaker - nice to be out of signal - but relying on wifi to communicate with staff sometimes meant messages weren't delivered. The pool in the two bed bungalow needed a decent clean.

    Facilities exactly as pictured and as expected - excellent. The staff were lovely and friendly. Food and drinks were consistently good. We stayed in the two bed bungalow and honestly it was great.

    The restaurant closes after breakfast at 11am and reopens at 1230pm. This was a bit of an issue for us with young children that need to be fed lunch before 1230. Id suggest they keep the restaurant open from breakfast service through to dinner to accommodate families

    We loved our stay at Wilsons. The staff are fantastic, the facilities are good and the place was always well maintained. Great room, spacious with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast included was delicious. The area around the hotel is amazing, you can swim out from the beach in front of Wilsons and see turtles. Highly recommend

    It was beautiful. From the beach front location, beach loungers to lay on, beautiful pool, lovely bar and the villas were all private and gorgeous. We stayed in Muri 15 which had a stunning indoor outdoor bathroom and was situated to the rear of the property, so quiet and private. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. It gave my friend and I the perfect island getaway where we could come and go from the party scene but relax also.

    The shower is open to the elements and a big tree was right over our bathroom, every time we went in there we stepped on hard balls that fell off the tree and tracked them everywhere. Our room was the first one, closest to the main area, so we felt we had to close our curtains all the time for privacy - this wouldn’t be an issue for the other rooms. We tried the restaurant for dinner one night but we weren’t impressed with the food at all and it’s more expensive than many of the other places on the island that had better food.

    Beachfront property with a nice pool. It’s on the northern part of the island, so it’s quiet and more private than some other places. Provided bikes we could rent. Good options for included breakfasts. We had a few cute cat visitors :)

    Since the stay is on the quieter side of the island, the nightlife, food places are all near the pier. So biking in the dark wasn't quite possible on account of safety concerns. We recommend that if you want to party into the night, pick a place closer to the pier since we got stranded one night. However, we absolutely loved this place and side of the island and will be hopefully staying here again.

    This was one of our favourite stays on our vacation. The staff was helpful. The stay itself was lovely, absolutely lovely views of the beach and the breakfast options were also lovely. Since we don't know how to swim, it was perfect for us. Just views of the endless ocean right across from our villa which was Julu Suite 1. We recommend that everyone request for this suite since it is the closest to the beach. The size of the villa was quite good and the attention to detail was also helpful. This is on the quieter side of the island which is what we preferred.

    The confort of the hotel is a bit lower than others in Indonesia for the same price, which could be explained by the fact that it is in an island.

    The best part was that this hotel is just in front of the beach, just in an amazing snorkling spot. We could rent the snorkling material in the hotel and just go to swim with the fishes and turtles while admiring the coral. Having breakfast on the beach was a great experience. Easy to rent bikes in the hotel and pay per day - 15 min by bike to the island center. Very calm and quite zone of the island, no music or noises. Simple nice and big rooms. Very hot swimming pool just in front of the beach.

    Nothing. Loved it!

    Absolutely loved it! I really liked the design and style of the villa, especially how the bathroom had an open ceiling. Wilson’s is located far from the hustle and bustle and has direct access to the beach. The breakfast was also great! It’s also located very close to the yoga center. P.s: You can’t really swim in the beach as the corals are very rough so it’s more suited for snorkeling.
