Great location, right on the beach, close to restaurants, spas and shops etc. Snorkelling, straight from its beach (Turtle point). Right next door you have a Mart shop for snacks, beer, wine, toiletries etc, and also 2 ATMs which is mega handy. The staff is very helpful and friendly, Nice choice of breakfast and good service. Clean room and bathroom. Comfy bed, super cold air-con.

One downside is, the music in the bar is on until about 11pm. Not too late, but nonetheless, if you're after an early night, be prepared for that..... Also, frequent water outages can happen. Ironic, given that Gili Air translates to "Small Water Island" 😊 It should be noted though, that this is not a hotel problem, but an Island infrastructure problem. But, of the three Islands, Gili Air is the only one to have a natural supply of fresh water, Gili T and Gili M, not. Apart from that, a great place that we'd definitely recommend and stay at again, for sure. Great value!!

The garden and the pool are really nice, it is actually very beautiful. The resort is very near the snorkeling spot where you can see turtles.

Our third night was very noisy because of a music festival and the music crew had the after party in the resort garden and around the swimming pool. So when we complained about it, the resort manager refund us this third night what was honest from them.

Absolutely a the best stay we could have asked for . The room was super clean, spacious and comfortable. The pool was heated to the the perfect refreshing temperature you can even enjoy at night . The Raja restaurant is right on the beach and had such an amazing menu , we only ate here the whole time. This hotel should be much higher rated in our opinion and has to be the best resort in Gili Air . Just the best staff so friendly and cool locals that will take great care of all thier guest . Rooms have large outdoor patios to enjoy the island life the the fullest ! Just book and you will be so happy at Salim resort I. Gili Air ! Thanks for an amazing stay

We loved everything about this place

I loved my stay in Salim so much that I extended my stay my 4 days. The staff here are so incredibly friendly, room is cleaned daily if you’d like and the pool area is clean and pool super deep. Check in and out process is quick and easy. The adjoining restaurant/bar serves great food and has friendly staff too. I will really miss this place.

Nothing I didn’t like.

It is really a gorgeous place, beautiful garden and quite a special location. The staff is so friendly and always helpful, always in a good mood. It's not the typical luxury type hotel, it feels more real, with some quirks that make it feel like an honest experience.

Each evening there isoud live music in the restaurant but thankfully it's not audible as much in the rooms.

Friendly, relaxing. Convenient and a super chilled location. Glad that we stayed at Salim Cottage. We are currently staying in a high end hotel and it's not for us. Salim was earthy.

Mozzies and glass doors that always slam shut. Always a lack of toilet paper for those who use it. You get what you pay for and Salim Cottages was great value for money.

Staff were brilliant. Everyone was young, happy, helpful, and just fantastic at their job. Location was perfect, that side of the island is the most beautiful in my opinion! Lots going on either side. Room was lovely, nice and spacious and nice that we could get water refill when we needed to. Breakfast was good too, pancakes were gorg!

I would say that the room was a little bit dark, and the bathroom / shower could have been a bit cleaner. Also, we were informed about a party / event that was happening until 3am in the morning on Sunday, and how very apologetic they were. But it turns out that that happens every week. Every night there is music and Sunday there is always an event on until late. That’s absolutely fine, but just to be open and honest with it in the first place and upon booking would be nice to know.

We booked this hotel a day before we decided to go to Gili and it was the best choice of our vacation. The staff is so friendly and helpful, the best I ever had. The raja bar next to the hotel is also very nice with very good food! The rooms are very lovely and no comments about that. It’s cool that you shower with an small open roof so it gives you the feeling that you’re showering outside. Location is also very good. It’s a small island, so we walked everything what was fine for us. And we saw 4 turtles in front of the hotel!! But shootout to the staff of this stay! They work really hard and help you with everything you need and are always happy and nice to you. If we ever come back to this island, we going to stay here again for sure!

Little cabins dotted around in nice garden plus we had one in the buildings by the pool. Good location and lovely breakfast on the beach.

Rooms are quite dark and bathrooms feel a bit tired. Stayed in 3 places on Gili Islands and this was most expensive and no better than others. It’s a good location and nice setting but you don’t want to pay any more than the standard price for simple room + pool.

Friendly staff, great location (you wake up and can see the sunset from the property), not too commercial/busy. Has a restaurant right in front of the resort called Raja bar where they play live music every night until 11. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but certainly mine.

Vibes were too great that I ended up staying for two weeks. I could never leave here 🥲
