Lovely small place surrounded by rice paddies and vegetable fields with a nice view of Mr. Rinjani. Peaceful and really quiet at night, basically no traffic noise at all. The owners are incredibly helpful and friendly and create a family atmosphere for their guests. Good breakfast, dinner is available on request. Home-cooked local food, do not bother to go out. My room was basic but fairly new and spotlessly clean. Just be aware that the location is rather remote, so ideally come with a scooter.

Stunning location with views of Mt Rinjani and rice fields. Lovely meals, friendly helpful staff. Worth the trip if your looking to slow down and get away from the busy locations. Calm, peaceful and relaxing.

I loved the authentic experience of the accommodation located in a farming village overlooking rice fields and Rinjani. A peaceful getaway if your looking to connect with local culture and time away from the usual tourist traps.

The homestay is in a really beautiful setting amongst rice paddies with a view of Mount Rinjani. It's so relaxing to sit on the balcony of your hut surrounded by dragonflies and butterflies. I like that it's located just outside Senaru rather than in the middle. The huts are basic but spotlessly clean. Nip and Awan are a lovely couple who are working hard to build up their business and are happy to help you in any way they can. As an ex- woman guide, Nip's knowledge of the local area is spot on.

Everything was as expected 👌🏼

Everything was lovely. The local food I had was nice. Great location overlooking the rice fiels and good for sunrise. Loved the friendliness of the whole family, including their young boy. They were super helpful.

Great homestay, in the middle of the rice fields, if you are searching for some peace in the nature, this is the place to stay. The owners of the homestay make you feel like at home, Nip’s cuisine is simply delicious, from breakfast to dinner. You can rent a scooter from them to explore the surroundings and they are ready to advise you on where to go/ what to see. If you are a light sleeper, just pack some ear plugs, otherwise the sound of the nature is the best sound to fall asleep with. Def recommend!

Beautiful area with amazing Mt Rinjani views and the kindest family. The rooms were clean surrounded by rice fields. Nip made delicious meal for us too. Close to waterfalls or if you want to get to the mountains. Thank you so much, we loved our stay here 🙏

We arrived at Bayan Exotic Homestay and were immediately welcomed with warmth by the host. He showed us to our room and we instantly fell in love — nestled right in the middle of a rice field, where you can quietly watch people working the land. After the busy chaos of Bali and the islands, this was the perfect escape into a calm, natural environment. We were also very hungry when we arrived, and the lovely hostess quickly prepared a delicious mie goreng chicken for me and a veggie-friendly version for my girlfriend (lots of tofu and tempeh — perfect!). The room was clean, the shower was hot, and the homemade Indonesian curry we had for dinner was incredible. We even forgot a night guard (dental retainer), and after we had already left, the owner messaged us and personally brought it to our next accommodation. Truly above and beyond hospitality. Thank you for such a wonderful stay — we’ll never forget it!

The property was beautiful! It was the perfect place to relax after our 3 day excursion climbing Mount rinjani. The bed was SO comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The view from the room was gorgeous and a great place to relax. Highly recommend having dinner there too, the hosts are great chefs. Breakfast was also spot on.

Perfect if you want to do the Rinjani trekking

Stunning, rural location overlooking rice fields, lush greenery and Mont Rinjani summit in the distance. The constant hum of crickets and the flittering of hundreds of dragonflies along with the scenery makes for a gorgeous nature retreat away from it all. Nip and Awan, along with their lovely family, were lovely hosts and the homemade food was delicious. Nip and Molls took us in the most amazing trek across paddy fields, down through jungle, across rivers and up to Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfalls, as well as showing us and explaining about traditional villages and taking us to an ancient mosque. Nip was really knowledgeable about everything from agriculture, plants, traditions and history and we would highly recommend taking her up on her offering of this opportunity. We will definitely be back if we’re ever in Lombok again. We didn’t do the Mont Rinjani trek this time but you always have to leave something to come back to do, right?! Thank you so much for a memorable experience 🙏🏼

The lighting could be better

The location is just amazing!! It is over the rice fields and feels very private. The owners are so kind and always there to help you. Very lovely people. They made us some delicious dinner and breakfast! Loved it!

The local couple running the guesthouse are super lovely. They helped me set everything up for my spontaneous Rinjani hike and served nice breakfast and dinner (THE CURRY IS DELICIOUS). The place is very clean and cozy surrounded by rice fields.

The Homestay is not quite yet complete (Oct '24) with access way to rooms precarious, some steps are too steep, some areas minimal lighting - not for those unsteady on their feet! Overall, stay could be improved by having access to drinking water and coffee/tea in room/communal dining - and some guidance /welcome notes if no one is around when guests first arrive.

Hosts are delightful. Setting is lovely with each room having a small terrace overlooking a padi field with Mt Rinjani off in distance to one side. Currently there are 3 pristine new rooms, independant of each other and all different in size, style and bathroom. We stayed in 2 - although small the layout of rooms is good. Local homestyle meals were fresh and delicious, each breakfast and evening meal a different recipe, vegetarian or non.

The only small suggestion I would make is that it would be nice to have a fan in the room as it’s quite hot.

Beautiful and peaceful setting with rice paddy’s and coconut palms right outside the room. The vibe and cleanliness of the bungalow, the comfort of the bed which also had a good mosquito net. Awan and Nip were great hosts. Good food available at the homestay. Such a memorable stay.

Nice room with a stunning view with rice fields. Really good and big breakfast. We tried their dinner and it was one of the best curry in Lombok. You need a scooter but they rented it to us.

We ‘d have liked to stay longer!!! They have just opened and are still making improvements… there is not hot water yet, but they are planning to add it. It wasn’t an issue , anyway.

Beautiful, clean, new bungalows in an amazing setting in the rice fields. It’s the ideal place to spend some days away from it all, immerse in an awesome nature. The couple who runs the place are so friendly, helpful and nice, we felt at home and will remember them and their son forever and just hope to go back one day… It is good place to meet other travellers and have a chat over a delicious meal served in the terrace. Great atmosphere!

Noise from the mosque.

It was very clean, great location to run and out and teke a rest into wild nature.

Stayed in September 2024

Somehow the light and also noise can easily get through the thin walls, not for light sleepers.

I loved the remoted localisation in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of rice fields! So lovely! But it’s necessary to get there b your own bike, otherwise it’s a bit tricky to move around. And the food was amazing!

Stayed in September 2024

Delicious breakfast included. We also had a wonderful dinner (extra pay) that was cooked for us by the owner. Absolutely amazing, friendly people and very cute little boy who run the Homestay. We loved the peace and quiet in the rice fields. Be aware that it is a more isolated location. We wished we had rented scooters to get around.
