Spacious room, great breakfast, you can book snorkeling at the front desk for a good price, laundry service: 2kg for 66k, very nicely folded and cleaned well. Very friendly staff. If you get lucky enough to get the balcony bed in each room it’s like your own private room. Ac works well.

If you get a room close to the bar it’s very hard to fall asleep until midnight, music is super loud. hot water shower only worked occasionally, ceiling started leaking half way through my stay then they painted over it but it dripped and there were black specks of paint all over the bathroom. wifi was horrible, cut out frequently. Not social in the slightest. Blanket was just a thin sheet.

The staff was so nice and the location right next to the beach is very convenient. It's also close to the main pier and to the main street. The bicycle rental and the water refill is a nice plus. The breakfast that's included is basic but nice. Overall the hostel is quite clean, I just think they might make it more clear in the bathrooms (especially in the dorms) that toilet paper never goes into the toilet bowl in Asia, for all the tourists who aren't aware. It happened to me every day to discover toilet paper that didn't get flushed properly because it's not meant to go down there. There is a bin and a sign, but I think it's not clear enough unfortunately :/ But that's more the responsibility of the clients obviously!

The dorm set up is very unique, I was unfortunate to have the bed on the opening side of the shared bathrooms of the dorms, but no big deal as I was sharing with quite respectful people during my stay! The dorm could use a few hooks near the beds, I think.

Your experience is more personal than in other hostels, especially the "party" ones. The staff is exceptionally friendly, knows your name and treats you like a friend. The complete opposite to "my mates place" where the staff was very jaded and didn't give a f*** about you..The atmosphere of the space is great and it's location is just perfect in the CBD. You cross the street and are right at the beach. Has a pool table, ping pong and an amazing comon area to chill / drink / work which I use as my home office :) Beds are comfy, aircon has perfect temp and there is absolutely no mold (my mates place had a lot of mold and the rooms stink). You get your breakfast very late even after 10 :) Have been extending for over a week here going for two :) and will come back when back in Gili T. Thank you!

the only negative was that the sound carries quite a bit in the rooms so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper

Clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Free breakfast is a nice touch! Offer a hot shower, which is rare for hostels in Indonesia. Lots of social events available and perfect location. AC is very good.

Very loud at night, don't expect to get much sleep. This isn't exactly the hostel's fault and it just depends on the guests at the time of stay. It is a party hostel as well, so this is to be expected. Staff could clean the showers a bit more frequently. I stayed for 3 nights and the shower I used wasn't cleaned during my stay. I've had worse showers though :)

Everything here is amazing, room so clean toilet and shower is perfect Staf amazing, friendly, respectful, and so helpful to make your vacation nice Location is the best in gili trawangan for the people who's interested for snorkeling, it's so close to Turtles 🐢 spot And the hotel is first line from the sea, reastrant everywhere The room is big,comfortable and the bed and below to comfortable, it's just 3 beds in each room Really I enjoyed my staying here so much and I recommend for everyone

The only thing I didn't like it, it's I can't stay here forever, because I need to comeback for work in my country

Cool atmosphere, in front of the beach, very kind staff, possibility to rent bicycle, big offer of activities. Clean room and clean bathroom.

For the staff: please remember to put some lockers in all the rooms, so tourists can lock their valuable items. For travellers: my room was in front of the Lava Bar, which was pretty nice because of the cool music, except when I wanted to sleep... but with some earplugs, everything is fine.

The staff knew everybody by name and welcomed you every morning with a smile. The onsite bar was great value and handy to close buy. Can rent bikes through the hostel allowing you to park our front and not worry about it at night. The breakfast was simple but had a few options you could choose from. The location on the main strip meant everything was in walking distance from the hostel.

If you are a light sleeper the rooms aren't isolated from one another ie the roof and walls don't touch so noise travels very well especially when you have loud neighbours (not the hostels fault but just to be aware). The linen could do with an upgrade there was some quite visible wear and tear.

Eric is the best ❤️ Rooms are not packed with people (I think 3 bed per room is maximum) AC works well Provide bike rent, organise things for you (laundry, snorkeling trip) Room has lots of space Breakfast is good Two furry friends to welcome you ❤️

Showers are dirty Bathroom needs maintenance in general and some deep cleaning No windows on shower/toilet area. A bit of a weird smell coming from. it (nothing impossible to deal with tho) No table or rack to put luggage in the rooms

This hostel was only a short walk from the port, so it's nice not to have to trek! Esp in the heat with big backpacks! The staff were amazing, especially Em Ary, who couldn't do enough for us and gave us tips on where to go and sorted bikes also for us. Such a fab soul! The hostel has 3 nights on (karaoke, r&r big, and Latino night), and you can meet people there easily. Can't fault it at all, Lava bar and staff there all amazing too! Also get brekky included and it was spot on each morning. Thanks so much guys 🙏🏽 rooms were cool we had a 3 bed dorm, and it was comfy and did the trick :)

The hostel was good. The Wi-Fi was good. The beds were good. It was next to a bar they gave you a free welcome drink! That was nice! The staff was super friendly and accommodating.The location was great. You could be on the beach in 2 minutes.

There was no hot water in the shower. I didn't expect that, but I think it might have been common for the island. The fans in the room were almost too loud to use.
