    It didn’t have hot water & was £16 a night. It’s common for there not to be hot water on Gili T, however I don’t think £16 is good value for money.

    The owners were very friendly & the facilities were good. The bed was comfy!

    Shower was really cold with no option to be warm & bathroom had a damp/sewage smell to it. Lamps & TV did not work which was also a shame.

    Lovely room, good sized bathroom & nice there was a mirror/dressing table in the room. Location was good, 10 mins from main harbour & 20 mins from turtle point & sunset beach! Lovely helpful staff, really smiley and offered bike services and excursions!

    the bathroom did have a sort of damp smell, but as long as you keep the door shut it’s not an issue when sleeping

    staff were great! They let us swap room as the TV wasn’t working in our original room. they do laundry & offer bicycles for rent

    The bathroom had a bit of a smell in it but it wasn’t the worst and it could do with a little better lighting. All in all a nice place to stay still.

    Bed was very comfortable and the staff were great and nice to us!

    No hot water in the bathroom, quite some mold in the bathroom, leaking pipes. Airconditioning spitted water on the bed sometimes.

    Nice room with a tv and fridge. The room was very clean when we arrived, the bed was amazing too. The host is very kind, we rented a bicycle and a dive tour with him.

    So all rooms have TV’s in but none of them work, which is a little frustrating. Our bathroom hadn’t been cleaned properly on check in as the toilet was dirty 🙈 but the bedroom and bedsheets were spotless so I think this was just a little mistake! Also had a funny smell in the bathroom but this is common across Indo! Rest of our stay was extremely comfortable and would recommend staying here.

    Beds are super comfortable! And it had a duvet which is such a nice change from the sheets they give you across Asia. Bedside lamps and nice size room so lovely ambience. Owner is so so lovely; really kind, let us fill our water bottles up and also allowed us to store some bits in his fridge, and gave us some hot water in mugs for our morning coffees 🙌🏽 wifi worked, and location is a decent spot.

    No hot water from shower, wasn’t a massive deal because it was so humid anyway so a cold shower was fine for a couple of days. The air con could have been cooler but again not a massive issue. You can hear the mosque throughout the day but I think you’d hear it from anywhere you stayed as it pretty centrally located

    The host was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, there was no kettle in the room but when we asked for hot water he filled a thermos up for us so we could have tea/coffee ect, he also brought bowls and cutlery. Room was clean and bed was comfortable with black out curtains. Fridge in room and little terrace with chairs to sit on. Property is a short walk to shops/ restaurants and bike hire is available. There was also a cute cat that visited our terrace on a night

    Some aspects a little run down but in light of the price not too big of a deal. TV didn't work, bedside lights didn't work and water was lukewarm for shower

    Amazing value for a double room. Great AC, owner very friendly, big room, 10min walk to harbour/main street
