My four year old son and I went here for a third year in a row and this time stayed here for 2,5 weeks, just love GT and I cannot imagine another place and location on the island to stay than Villa Rika! This place is not too big and also not too small. Room size is good, as you aren't spending much time inside anyways. The pool has a shallow part, nice for kids to play, and the overall poolsize is good! Furthermore is there enough space outside for kids to play. The location is just around the corner of turtle beach and the restaurants and bars, so nice and quiet in the evenings and nights. I really liked and appreciated the pleasant, friendly and helpfull staff! In general, the place is clean and tidy! And the breakfast! Even after 2,5 weeks, we didn't got bored with the offer! Hopefully we'll be back again soon :)

Very close to beach and turtle observation. Hospitable owner, offering tips and suggestions whilst on the island. Private salt water pool was a delight to go into at night. Very clean. Enjoyable private part- outside bathroom, attached to bedroom. Nicely done.

We booked the villa with 2 bedrooms, it was very clean and comfortable. The common area with the exclusive swimming pool is great and well maintained, also the staff was super friendly. Air conditioning works really well and the fridge is available to maintain the drinks cooler. Gary was a great host, he explained everything to us and provided a lot of tips where we could eat and stay during the day to watch the turtles. This is a great place and I would stay here again if I come back to Gili T. The hotel is around 1km away from the city center, but you can always rent a bike to make it easier to get there - which we loved by the way, as we wanted to be a bit far from the crowds and the noise.

The location was fantastic—set just off the main street, so you won’t be disturbed by the late-night music from the clubs, yet still very close to the beach (approximately 100 meters away). Gili T's nightlife can get pretty lively and at the same time, you would probably not like to stay in an isolated area far from the swimmable beach and other attractions. Considering this, I would say that Villa Rika was ideal. The hosts are great, very welcoming and kind. We lived in the 2-bed villa with a private pool and the kids loved it. The place feels nice and secure. There is a small breakfast available as well. Nothing too grand but good to get you going.

The cleanliness inside the rooms could have been a little better.

everything was great , maybe they should provide more kitchen supplies so you can cook but other than that everything was perfect and clean. owner and the staff was so helpful . so l lost my necklace at the place l noticed after l lefted island . they found and send me especially Edy did so much effort to make this happen with no trouble 🙏 l am extra thankful for that. next time l come to Gili T l know already where l will stay .. no question 🙏

Cannot fault our stay here. The facilities, staff, location and room were perfect. Gary was super friendly and gave us some great recommendations. The bikes were fantastic and meant we could see the entire island. The breakfast was always superb and it always felt as though everyone would go the extra mile. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we had a fantastic stay! We will definitely be returning. Thank you Gary and co.

There was nothing not to love! The location was perfect, 100m from the beach, close to the main strip for shopping and restaurants/cafes…but at the quiet end of the island so still very little noise other than the clip clopping of horse carts going by. The rooms were spacious and clean, we loved the indoor/outdoor shower in the bathroom. The grounds and pool were immaculate. George, the owner, was welcoming and friendly, great for a chat, in fact all of the staff were lovely. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again😊

First of all, this is not my first time travelling to Gili. The common issue in the island is hot water and cleanliness of the accommodation. Also, if you are travelling to Gili for the first time, it can be overwhelming with the amount of travelling and planning. With that being said, the villa is about 15 to 20 mins walk from the harbour, depends on how fast you walk. So if you have many suitcases or travelling with big suitcase, please manage your expectations. You can find it from the map, which makes it so much easier. When you arrive at the villa, we were greeted with a very warm welcome from the owner himself, Jeorge, and Sara. They serve us cold water to wash down the overwhelming experience from the boat and heat from walking. All the tiredness gone away the moment we sat down. Check in experience was nothing less than perfect. He explained the island and gave us many recommendations, which were all amazing. He also let us know the fair prices of the activities in the island so you wont be overcharged by the organisers. I strongly recommend to follow his recommendations unless you have things planned yourself. The room was comfortable. There were 3 of us, w booked 1 queen bed and 1 single bed. Room is spacious for all our items. Very safe surroundings but of course always becareful. The location itself was in front of the turtle swimming spot. Plenty of places offers bicycle and snorkling trips. If you walk for 3 minutes from the villa towards the beach, on your right hand side you will find a small dodgy looking booth. We book private snorkeling from them, expected nothing. But we ended up had the best experience we can ever asked for. My friend doesnt know how to swim, was looked after her very well throughout the snorkeling experience. No negotiation needed, they offer very fair rate. Dont judge a book by its cover. Overall, I honestly think our stay was that much better because of Jeorge and Sara. Thanks for looking after me and my friends!

Very comfortable, clean and well maintained property. Comfy beds, excellent breakfast. George and his wife are excellent hosts, and their staff did everything to make our stay comfortable. George gave excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit on the island. In just about 100 meters from the hotel we found the most amazing snorkeling - we were swimming with sea turtles and all kinds of beautiful tropical fish. Highly recommend Villa Rika, would love to come.back again!

We had a great time at Villa Rika and can highly recommend to stay there. It is a lovely designed, clean and comfy place with a very welcoming atmosphere. The hosts are very attentive, showed great hospitality and gave us helpful tips regarding e.g. ferry transport, restaurants, etc. All in all, this made us feel a little bit at home at Gili T for a week of holiday. Thank you very much! The place was very clean, the bed and pillow were comfortable, the room spacious. Villa Rika is nearby the main beach front of Gili T with a lot of shops, restaurants and bars, but nonetheless quiet as it is not located in the middle of the night life of Gili T. We enjoyed that location a lot as we were close enough to everything, but far enough away to have a calm and quiet place to stay. The beach nearby Villa Rika is great for snorkeling and you have a high chance to see turtles. The breakfast was simple, but good and provided a smooth start of the day. After all, cannot name anything negative and can only highly recommend this location. We would definitely book it again!
