Our stay at Gili Matiki was perfect from start to finish. A true slice of island heaven. Would (and hopefully will) comeback in a heartbeat.

More holiday time to spend here!

We really enjoyed the pool area and breakfast. The rooms are nice and cool with a fan and AC available. The property is pretty much in the centre of the island which is great for exploring, we walked everywhere.

The beds could have been more comfortable (although that’s not saying they were uncomfortable). Our room was also directly opposite the reception / breakfast area which meant we had to keep the curtains closed, which made the room very dark, otherwise people could see straight in. I would also make sure you’re comfortable with who you’re sharing a room with as the toilet was in view of the bed and there were gaps between the shutter blind.

Gorgeous little hotel with rooms set around a lovely pool and greenery. Staff were so warm, particularly with my little one and really helpful when he was unwell, offering us food, checking in on us and even paying for our horse and cart back to the port when we didn’t have enough cash on us. They even upgraded us to a bungalow for one night when we were not happy with our room.

We didn’t realise when booking that there were different standards of rooms- the bungalows around the pool were very lovely and felt very private, whereas we had accidentally booked a lower grade room which felt very overlooked in terms of where it was set in the prooerty- if we didn’t draw the curtains at all times, people were looking directly into the room and shower from breakfast/deckchairs around the pool. This meant we had to draw the curtains always and made the room dark and bleak. Additionally it was set next to where staff lived so was often noisy. Location wise it is fairly central on the island- equal distance to walk to north/south/east/west coasts, which was fine (and approx 10-15 mins walk from any coast) but didn’t really feel well located for anywhere.

We had a family bungalow with 2 double bed rooms, each of them with its own bathroom. We liked very much the outside bathrooms, the nature from the resort that gave us privacy while sitting on the front porch. The rooms had AC, ceiling fan, they provided us with sarong and towels to take it to the beach. The breakfast was delicious, the pool was clean and the location was just 10-15' until sunset street (north-west side of the island). In the location , there is a small shadowed children play area for small kids. There is also play cafea just around the corner, a beautiful playground for kids all ages where you can serve something to drink and small bites (sandwiches, pasta or salad)

We missed a fridge in the room for the drinks.

It has been the most beautiful accommodation on my trip so far and I felt a little bit in paradise. The place is very neat & clean and I enjoyed the Bungalow with it's open air shower and the lovely pool.

The call of the muezzin from the nearby mosque will wake you up *every morning* at around 5 am. The prayer call lasts for more than half an hour and is insanely loud. Also keep in mind that there's only salt water for showering and washing hands. You have to pay extra for drinking water and bicycle rental, which is bizarre regarding the high price for this place.

We loved staying at Matiki, the rooms were beautiful, clean, with air con and fan. Also with an outdoor bathroom/ shower with hot water. It's a quiet and relaxed vibe, beautiful gardens and nice, clean pool. The staff were friendly and cooked the best breakfast every morning. The staff are also able to help with ordering in food for delivery and organizing laundry. Matiki are also very eco friendly with a water bottle refil station and bamboo straws. From the harbor Gili matiki is a 15-20min walk but you can take a horse & cart from around 150,000rp. It's about a 5 minute walk to the beach on the sunset side of the island and the best scuba diving company is gili island diving centre. The island itself is gorgeous with its dirt and sand roads, easy to walk around but you can also rent a bicycle for around 45k.

We had a nice private bungalow, and quiet most of the time (you can hear people walking on the path but it's not extensively used). Very clean and well stocked. A friendly arrival reception. Breakfast was good (good coffee).

- It's in the center of the island so it takes time to go anywhere nice but it is also in the center... Carrying the luggage from/to the dock is a hassle if you decide to not take the horse buggies. - A really expensive (unexpected) laundry. We should have asked beforehand: it was 3x more than in Bali.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Gili Matiki Hotel on Gili Air, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The hotel is a true tropical paradise, nestled in lush gardens and offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The accommodations are charming and comfortable, with beautifully designed bungalows that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-equipped, providing a perfect balance of comfort and island charm. One of the standout features of Gili Matiki is the outstanding service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to go the extra mile to ensure a memorable stay. From the warm welcome at check-in to the helpful recommendations for activities and dining, their hospitality truly sets this hotel apart. The on-site amenities are fantastic, with a lovely swimming pool that provides a refreshing retreat after a day of exploring the island. The restaurant serves delicious meals with a variety of options to suit all tastes, and the breakfast is a delightful way to start the day. The location is also ideal, offering easy access to the beautiful beaches and vibrant local attractions. Whether you're looking to relax by the pool, explore the underwater world with some snorkeling, or simply unwind in a hammock with a good book, Gili Matiki has something for everyone. Overall, my stay at Gili Matiki was nothing short of perfect. It's a hidden gem on Gili Air, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and unforgettable island getaway. I can't wait to return!

We had a lovely stay at Gili Matiki, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast is delicious and also served with fresh fruit. The pool was good and surrounded by lovely plants. The rooms are a good size, beds are comfy and rooms are cleaned, beds made everyday. The outdoor bathroom was nice. Our toiletries did become very warm when left in the outside bathroom which made some of ours dry up, so maybe best to bring them inside.

We wore earplugs every night but still we were woken up every morning, due to banging, shouting etc. I'm not sure if it is just where our room was situated (opposite the sun loungers). The walls are thin and the noise did affect our stay, that is the only thing if not it would have been perfect.

Incredible place, very friendly staff. The best breakfast in 3 months. Nice pool and details are just perfect. The room have all details you may need and the really will help you in anything. I was able to work from there and internet speed is quite good. It’s away from the main spots which can be too busy and easy to reach any place walking in 10 min max.

Not their fault really, but the hut does not have isolation. The island vibrates early morning with a Dolby surround mosque. You can’t do nothing about it.
