Best Gili Air Hotels

The price is great but this place is way too close to the mosque. The call to prayer at 4.30am is very long. There were lots of mosquitos inside.

This is one of the best hotels we have been to. We took the Grand number. The little things in the room are amazing, even the pajamas are pink, all the towels are scented, overall a very cool room. Our breakfast was included, everything was delicious, except for the freshly squeezed juice, which was very diluted. The hotel area is small, but what a view by the pool, it’s just a bomb, like you’re in a movie. This hotel was recommended to me and I have never regretted it. Friends and I are delighted!

We booked Ke rensia villas for part of our honeymoon. Before we arrived, we messaged via *********** to ask if it was ok if we checked in at 12pm as that's when our boat was arriving. The owners responded and said yes, that would be fine. We arrived after a very long journey on an extremely hot day. Both of us were pouring with sweat after finally reaching the hotel with very heavy bags. When we arrived we were told our room wasn't ready and wouldn't be for another 2 hours. We were told 'you can walk around for 2 hours and come back'. When we insisted we had already arranged an early check in, the female member of staff who works on the desk was extremely rude to us and shrugged her shoulders and said 'that's just our check in time'. Eventually we were seated in the restaurant, Lockdown Kitchen and the staff said they would get a villa ready for us. When we were finally shown the villa, we were really disappointed. It was dirty, with a filthy breakfast bar area and there were several dead insect stains on the walls and a dead, squashed cockroach on the floor. The bedroom was extremely dark and dingy too, with a very hard bed. It was definitely not the romantic villa in the photos. To make matters worse, the location of the villa meant that ants, flies, enormous spiders and other flying creatures constantly came into the kitchen area and then also into our bedroom. On several occasions we had to call the front desk to have very large spiders removed from our villa because they kept ending up in our bedroom. It was really difficult to relax and go to sleep at night when we were worried about huge spiders coming under the large gap under the door and into our bedroom. On the first night some of the electrics in the villa complex also went out which meant our garden lights stopped working and we couldn't sit by our pool in the evenings. This still wasn't fixed when we checked out. Breakfast was average. I tried two coffees while we were here, both of which were abysmal and had to be thrown away. The banana pancakes I had were passable. You also couldn't close or lock the bathroom door from the inside which meant there wasn't much privacy going to the bathroom. Overall this was an extremely disappointing stay. The only plus point for this hotel was the lovely male staff members who were really friendly and helpful. However we would definitely not stay here again when we return to Gili Air and will not be recommending this hotel. This stay nearly ruined our honeymoon and we desperately wished we had booked somewhere else. In conclusion, the female member of staff here needs some customer training and if you like clean places and you aren't a fan of insects you definitely shouldn't book here.

This villa was one that I was excited to stay at on Gili Air. When we arrived we were hot, sunburnt and just wanted to cool down. We rang ”the magic bell” twice before I had to call the manager of the property. We then waited an extra 10 minutes. We booked through *********** and we had to pay at the property, which was fine, but if you pay by card there is a 3% surcharge as they don't let you pay online through ***********. We got into the room and it was nice. It did look like the photos! Then we started finding problems. The air-conditioner didn't cool the room down, so it was hot - all the time. The shower had 30 second bursts of hot water, which we had to constantly turn off and on with a blocked shower head - so where the water comes out, this was going everywhere, but on your head and body. Black mould was present in the bathroom, and it smelt very damp. We were greeted with someone's turd in the toilet and when we went to flush, the toilet was blocked and wouldn't go down. The bed was soft concrete, pillows terrible. When the praying happens on the island, it sounds like the speaker in directly in your room and this happens for a couple of hours late at night, along with early (4/5am) in the morning to. The pool was nice, landscaping of the garden inside the villa was nice, the daybed was lovely, however with my experience, I wouldn't recommend or stay here again.

✅ Really enjoyable stay at Sari Bungalows! My bungalow was small and basic but had everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept very well. Plenty of storage space for bags and belongings too. The bathroom is spacious, and the shower was so powerful. I loved it! There are some lovely restaurants and bars within walking distance too, with some less than a 5 min walk away. It would take ~10 mins to get to the west side of the island for some sunset cocktails by the beach. The staff are very kind and friendly, particularly want to shout out Mr Anjay and Mr John! They also helped me to rent a bicycle and book onto a snorkel tour - both at a very reasonable price. ❌ Room is a little dated and could benefit from a minor refurbishment to touch up paintwork. Limited amount of sun beds by the pool considering the amount of bungalows on site.

Super well located hotel and very comfortable rooms with air conditioning, large 180 cm bed, drinking water available, bathrobes, beach towels, small private terrace, pretty little swimming pool, very clean and quiet… adorable staff. BAYAN organized the transfer of luggage to the port and the recovery of the bicycles that we rented. TEGUH The manager is also very nice and very helpful. Very good and plentiful breakfast by the water. Because breakfast is made in the second hotel 5 minutes by bike. Free deckchair on the beautiful beach. We highly recommend this hotel and point out that we did not hear any noise since given the heat we closed the windows and the bathroom door. Thank you to all the teams for the welcome and their kindness 🙏

Absolutely superb place to stay. Immaculately clean. Very warm welcome from Derri (he is a superb host and such an asset to the place) Beautiful and comfortable room with a very comfy bed, excellent air con, spotlessly clean, fresh drinking water, smells beautiful as soon as you walk in the room. Lovely shower and bathroom, good water flow, plenty of nice smelling shower gel, shampoo and conditioner and again, really clean. Every evening Derri would bring us cups of hot water for my tea. Such a great guy! Lovely pool. Very peaceful. Beautiful gardens very well maintained and lush. So quiet at night and a very short walk to the beach and to the restaurants. We slept very well and woke up to a simple yet tasty breakfast. The coffee is delicious. Such great value for money. I would 100% recommend this place. Thank you for such a lovely stay!
