Excellent host offering solid communication and a family like experience. It was very helpful to rent motorbikes and arrange transportation without needing to step outside the homestay. The food prepared was top notch and probably the best in town. Several nearby places facing Aan beach at the southeastern edge of the bay were clearly most memorable and worthy of attention. The beaches there were clean and the water more clear of debris.

Although Gerupuk might be better than most areas, Lombok generally is amidst a giant tourism push and finding authentic experiences is increasingly difficult.

I had an amazing stay at Duyung Rooms and Resto. It’s a family-run place, and they made me feel at home right away. The family is incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, whether it’s arranging a boat for surfing, renting a scooter, or offering tips on the best spots around. The rooms are spacious and simple – no luxuries, but everything you need for a comfortable stay. The food is delicious, and they also offer a laundry service. I initially planned to stay just a few days but ended up staying for two weeks because I loved it so much. If you’re looking for a cozy, no-fuss place with great people and amazing food, this is it! I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Gerupuk.

Duyung and his family are exceptional hosts - very friendly, welcoming and always helpful. The photos are true to what is there. The food is great, scooter hire and surf excursions was made very easy thanks to Duyung. The hospitality is fantastic.

The toilet and shower in the bedroom could be improved (not modern), but I got used to it :)

My stay here was fantastic! The room was very spacious and extremely clean. Sheets were soft and comfy - as was the bed. The hosts were wonderful and were very helpful with all my requests. The food they cooked at the restaurant was the best local food I have had in Indonesia! I ended up eating there most meals and really miss the food once I left Couldn’t recommend higher 😁🙏

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful 5-night stay at this nice place located in Gerupuk, Lombok. The room was generally clean and felt pretty cozy. The on-site restaurant provided a variety of tasty and affordable meals throughout the day. What truly stood out was the owner's exceptional English and helpful nature. We spent most of our days surfing and embarked on an incredible trip to waterfalls Benang Stokel and a stick fighting event in Praya, which was both crazy and amazing and although it's a bit far, it's absolutely worth it for the experience - which can be provided by the accomodation. Just note that Gerupuk is primarily a surfing destination, so if you don't want to do such activity, there isn't much to do here. Luckily, a scooter can also be provided by the accomodation, so you can explore other parts of Lombok too.

The toilet had a minor flushing issue. Also toilet paper disposal into a trashbin might be inconvenient for some.

the hosts are beautiful human beings and they will make you fall in love with Lombok people! The room is big, we had no AC but there was no need, the fan is enough and it's actually pretty cold during the evenings. I stayed with my partner and our little 2 year old and 3 more friends. We all had a blast! Food is DELICIOUS, the owner's wife can cook EVERYTHING! Surf is great and they will help with all you need!

I LOVED EVERYTHING

My 2 weeks in this homestay were fantastic! Karyadi Duyung and his family are always happy to help you with anything and organise transportation for you anywhere. The rooms are very spacious and confy with aircon. Thank you Karyadi!

The Duyungs are very helpful, welcoming hosts, and it felt like leaving home when we left. The food from their kitchen Is very good and we ate there often. I would definitely stay there again as these are very special people and they have a nice place.

Such a lovely family running this homestay! Karyadi is very helpful with everything, he speaks english very well (and german!). His wife cooks very good food. The room was clean and we got water, towels and soap, so everything you need. The facilities are simple, but it‘s enough. Really good value for money.

Our hosts, the Duyungs, were exceptional in providing a very welcoming and memorable experience. The food and the tours around Lombok were incredible and it was a very special time for us. We were helped with a taxi to Kuta for the evening, a lift to the airport, (fantastic, cultural) tours of the island, visas and boat rides to the surf. These services were beyond what we expected and are very grateful to have had such a smooth stay.

We had to buy a lot of drinking water, so perhaps a water dispenser would have saved us from that.
