Review – Gili Meno House Hotel Our stay at Gili Meno House Hotel was absolutely magical. The location was perfect – a true paradise setting straight out of a dream. The room was fantastic, and the housekeeping was outstanding, with cleaning twice a day, which really made a difference. A big shoutout to the amazing bar staff – you were incredible! A special greeting to my Bosses, you truly made our experience even better. The snorkeling was another highlight – absolutely amazing, and all the equipment was included, making it easy to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Highly recommended!

A little slice of luxury on Gili Island. With only 7 rooms . This hotel is all about the personal experience. From small gifts at turndown service, to a la crate breakfasts, to a free tote bag to take with you. The rooms are clean, spacious and luxurious compared to other hotels I stayed in on the island. The facilities, such as the pool are only shared with six other rooms, so even when at capacity, it feels like you have it all to yourself. The hotel provides all the extras for free compared to other hotels, Kayaks, snorkels, fins, beach shoes and bikes are all free for guests to use (no rental fee). I can see why it is number one on the island. I would return here in a heartbeat! I also recommend booking the speedboat pickup through the hotel, they collect you and drop you right outside on the beach! And the beach, Snorkling from the shore I saw turtles and incredible fish everyday!

They had thought about everything, it was one of the best stays I had in the Lombok/islands area. The only recommendation I would give is for a kettle/tea/coffee facilities to be added to the rooms, especially if you are an early riser and like to sit and have a coffee when you wake up. Whilst you could go to the beach bar (20 metres away) to help yourself to coffee and tea in the morning, this is only from 7am (so if you are an early riser or enjoy an afternoon tea, a kettle in the room would be an added bonus).

We stayed in Gili Meno for 4 nights. The hotel is on the beach and this is super relaxing and the atmosphere very calm. We enjoyed our time in Gili Meno swimming with the turtles and snorkelling on the coral reef. All is just in front of the hotel and around the island. We also used the kayak provided by the hotel. Masks for snorkelling and the rock shoes are also supplied by the hotel. I suggest to do some snorkelling also to see the Bask underwater statue. We used the swimming pool in the afternoon/evening time when there is low tide and it is hard to swim in the sea due to the corals and rocks. Breakfast is fantastic. It is so nice to have breakfast on the beach with some calm music on the background. We had also dinner there and the food was really good. The staff is always ready to help/assist during the stay. Drinkable water is provided by the hotel and there is free refill at the bar. Highly recommended if you want to relax and enjoy the sea!

This was by far the best property of our entire stay. The place is incredibly peaceful, calm, and beautifully boutique, creating a truly special atmosphere. The staff made us feel completely at home — everything was perfectly organized without us needing to ask or think ahead. A special thank you to Iggy and the entire team for making our stay effortless and memorable. Every detail was handled with care, allowing us to fully relax. We are already planning to return next year — and this time, for a longer stay!

The location was really good. Calm and right in front of Turtle point. The rooms were super comfortable and clean. They make water available for you whenever you want and leave little treats everyday. You can use snorkeling equipment, kayaks, bikes, etc… The restaurant does’t have a big menu but everything they offer is really good.

Nothing that I didn’t like but can leave 2 points more as improvement ideas if it makes sense for the team: 1 - Have more options on the menu for the restaurant (not sure if this is possible because the logistics on the Island don’t seem too easy) 2 - Have an alternative to the horses for guest to get to the hotel and/or to the port. Having something like an electric bike with a little trailer or similar.

Great location just in front of the sea. Perfect spot to see the sunset. Meno House is a quiet and private hotel with very good facilities. The breakfast is good however could have more options. The hotel has snorkeling equipment, bikes and kayaks for the guest. You can also schedule great tours with the hotel. In our case we made a snorkeling tour (go pro included).

For the value you paid it will be great to see a few improvements: -Breakfast with more options; -The acoustics of the room -> during the night we heard music (probably from Gili T); -The rooms should have window blackouts -> at 6h30 there is lots of light in the room. -The dinner sometimes can take a little while than we expected.

The staff was exceptional, and I want to give a special shoutout to Juli, a professional and incredibly helpful team member from Lombok. His service truly stood out, making my experience memorable. I rarely leave feedback, but Juli absolutely deserves this recognition for his outstanding work.

The property is planning to expand with a beach club, but I’m not sure this will be a positive addition. Guests seem to come here to relax and escape from noise and crowds, so a beach club might disrupt the peaceful atmosphere that makes this place special.

We had a great stay at Meno House - specially the staff made our stay perfect. We got sick before we arrived and they took very good care of us. It was the perfect place to relax - it was clean, the property is in good shape and the service and kitchen is great. We can highly recommend the service and facilities at Meno house. The pool and beach are also great and we even saw some turtles- Although the reef is not in a good shape. Thanks to the Team for taking good care of us!

The only sad part was the reef- wich is not in the owners hands to change … but we expected more from the snorkeling at Gili meno.

Amazing staff, especially Yudi, Agung and Suriyadi. Very respectful but willing to be personable, its a fine balance and they git it just right for us. The owners here have clearly had their issues since they opened based on some reviews, it felt like they had taken the feedback onboard and learnt from past experiences. Our stay was excellent, the food was fresh and the rooms were kept in excellent condition at all times. The pricing is quite high, but you get what you pay for I suppose. Ben & Hannah Stayed 8th to 11th April in Beach Villa 1

Just include the tax and service for pricing purposes on the menu, other places do it and I genuinely think it would alleviate any awkward discussion with customers. It wasn't a problem for us, but I can understand why some customers may find this a bit off.

Meno House is likely the best place on the island. Not only the property is immaculate with its beautiful rooms and pool, its restaurant also serves some of the best food and cocktails on the island. The staff is super helpful, and they're always around to assist. Plus, the north side of the island is where most of the turtle spotting locations are, so you can easily snorkel a bit off the hotel beach and see some turtles swim amidst the coral. Absolutely stunning experience!

Nothing major. Just some of the free bikes and snorkelling gear offered are a little too worn to be useful.
