    Other staff members were making noise until late at night, making it difficult for us to sleep.

    Clean, natural structure. If you want to relax after days of traveling, it's the perfect location. Thanks to the staff who welcomed us (sorry, I don't remember the guy's name). He gave us a lot of useful information and made us feel very good.

    It is a little far from restaurants and other facilities. You need your own transport or a driver to get you places.

    Very nice staff! they played football with the kids. Local people came also by . They had two cute bunnies to play with. Views are great . Very peaceful place. Bungalows are basic, but fine.

    The bungalows are very simple by European standards; however, they are perfect for a basic stay.

    The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, addressing all our requests immediately. Scooters were available for rent on the property. The breakfast was nice, and they even accommodated my special dietary needs. The location is beautiful, with a spacious yard and a well-maintained garden. Plus, the view of Mount Rinjani is excellent.

    It is a shame the hot water only lasts for 15L, and it has a trick to have pressure, one of us had to shower in freezing cold water, which was not ideal, but they were responsive and changed us room before the second had to shower cold as well.

    We booked quite late and they were able to accommodate us with a smile, the young man from Mataram was a legend, providing assistance via whatsapp for our dinner (which was delivered to the room) and breakfast (which was served quite early). We were provided free drinking water, the bed was comfortable and the view of Rinjani in the morning is amazing.

    Gets a little cold at night as near the mountains. Nothing wrong with it, just was a shock after warm Gili Islands! Hotter in day.

    All of the staff were really friendly and lovely. It all made our stay special and amazing. Anyar, especially, was an absolute legend of a driver/host. Remote but get true feeling of rural Lombok. Commutable to viewpoints and beautiful waterfalls (Tiu Kelep, etc). New buildings are being built which look very nice!

    The host was really friendly and gave us an agricultural tour on his land showing us his chillies, garlic and vanilla bean lands. This was so interesting as we also farm in SA. The location also feels farmy which we liked.

    It gets cold at night, especially when your body is used to the tropical heat. The family will provide extra blankets when asked, so be sure to ask. Warm water is not always available.

    Let's start with the first of many lovely things about this place: the landscape. One could just sit here for hours and stare at the mountains. The family running the place is just as lovely as the surroundings. They are quite putting and live to chat. The head of the family is the village leader, so there is a lot of knowledge about the region and many contacts for sightseeing or telling up the mountains. The family will cook lovely meals for you. What I also find very important is that this place is Indonesian owned (by the family themselves). It's a bit further away from the western tourist crowd which is also a plus in my book.

    There was a party going on with very loud music and karaoke until late, and then started again at 8am. We wish we could have enjoyed it but we were using this place as a resting point after Rinjani so we left this place pretty tired.

    Comfortable stay and pretty accommodations, owner brought us dinner and breakfast to the room. Beautiful area.

    Great view of rinjani. Extras offered by the hosts are expensive, beware.

    The owner offered us daily scooter rental which was very expensive (100k per day), which is double the price of scooter rentals elsewhere in Lombok. The breaks on the scooter didn’t work very well. The bungalows are located a bit far from the main town area so the option they give you for food is to have dinner on-site (cooked by the owner’s wife), however he didn’t tell us any price and on the last day we were met with quite a large (and seemingly arbitrary) bill for the two dinners. Again, charging double what those same food items would have cost in town. Overall they are nice people, but we did feel like we were seen as ATMs, and ended up paying way more for the extras (scooter and food) at the end of our stay than the cost our accommodation. So beware of that.

    Beautiful view of rinjani from the bungalow. It was clean and with a nice porch. However there was many many bugs inside the room at night (small flies/mosquitos/moths). Bathroom and room well-equipped with coffee / tea maker, soap, etc. Great help from the on-site caretaker (his name is Muslim), he made a fire for us each night and helped us with food.
