    Nothing. There is no hot water on Gili T but after a day in the sun, a cool shower is refreshing!

    Great location, few minutes walk from the port, and turtle point. You can rent bikes from here, free breakfast in the morning, unlimited tea and coffee, free water refills. The homestay is nearby good warungs, and you can’t hear prayers in the morning or music from the parties. I stayed in a shared dorm and it was really comfortable. The host is super kind, always gave us advice on where to go :)

    None at all.

    The room was spotless clean, the bed was nice and comfy with new sheets, the AC worked really well and the guesthouse provided bicycle at a fair price. But best of all, the staff of Bintang Guesthouse, Omi, Uda, Dee, Dadi and Anton, were absolute angels and took care of me so well. I usually don't enjoy hanging out with strangers at a hostel because I'm quite an introvert, but the boys were very friendly and accommodating, letting me feel right at home. I had an issue with the boat to Bali being canceled, but the staff took upon the task like their own and went all the way out there to help me out. Thank you so much for that! I will definitely come back again next year.

    Lovely wee place. The room is as you see in the pictures. The lads working there are absolutely lovely. Super helpful, kind and offer advice on what to do and see on the island. Skinny Dee booked us a super snorkeling trip which we loved also. Lovely bloke with great conversation. If we had more time, we'd love to have stayed longer.

    That I booked another hostel for the last night I get back from Gili Air. I realized, a party hostel in not for me.

    I will definitely stay here again next year. Thank you so much, Ome, Da, and the others. You all make me feel so at home. I miss our Nasi Campur lunch together! Until then. PS. I never had any pictures of the room cause I just felt like I am at home but it is clean, quite, and peaceful. Miss you guys! Thank you so much again! From Philippines with ❤️.

    Bintang guesthouse’s staff are super lovely and welcoming. They made me a part of their family and helped with everything (arranging snorkeling trips, bike rent, boat to Lombok/Bali etc). The facilities are great and very clean. I really enjoyed my stay here and will definitely recommend Bintang guesthouse, I’ve stayed in multiple places in Gili T but this is the best one you can choose. They also offer a very good breakfast with many options and coffee/tea. The location is also good, not too far away from the harbour and many shops/restaurants are close by.

    Good stay

    The water in the shower was consistently cold no matter what time I used it. I'm not sure if that is the case in all of Gili T or not, but it would've been nice to have a hot shower. There were also ants and spider webs EVERYWHERE, and cockroaches in the bathroom. they are in corners on the top of the room but its quite uncomfortable. I did also feel there was some communication lacking from the staff - in case I needed something, i didn't really know who to ask because there wasn't always someone sitting outside. I'm not sure who the owner is because I never met them, but the two guys sitting outside would only be there 70% of the time. given the price, its probably alright but if you're looking for someplace more clean and polished with regular service I wouldn't recommend. Also just to keep in mind, the breakfast times are quite late, only from 930am if i remember. Even if i asked for breakfast at 9 or earlier, the people were usually asleep so I had to buy food elsewhere.

    Good location, very quiet because its away from the beachfront. The room was quiet big considering I was a solo traveler. The staff were nice too, no complaints. on the days that i did have breakfast, it was good.

    The main curtain to the room doesn’t block out much light, which is slightly annoying at night with the outside light and then again when the sun comes up, not a big issue though.

    Jen was an amazing host and made us feel right at home, as were all the guys that worked there and in the restaurant next door (which also had great Indonesian food at a good price!!). Jen cooked us breakfast to order every morning which was tasty and fresh. There are also bikes available to hire which we did on both days which was a great way of getting round the island. There are a few resident cats and kittens who are all really friendly! Comfortable room and good aircon.

    The curtains don’t block out all the sunlight in the morning but they did say they are in the process of getting of some new ones!

    Everyone was very friendly! The room was lovely, surprised it had a hairdryer and they use freshwater in the shower and taps. Unlimited refills of cold water which is rare! Good breakfast options and great location. The AC and fan works great! Also a great benefit is that you can access a swimming pool nearby!

    There is a sign there that says, come as a guest-Leave as family. And you will know why by the end of your stay, Bintang questhouse is a very special place. The rooms are big and clean, the bed is very comfortable. There is clean drinking water at the kitchen. You got everything you need here and more here. I felt very at home the second i stepped in here, they will help you and get to know you if you want and welcome you into their life from the start. I could not recommend this Guesthouse any more, if you ever find yourself at Gili T and you get to stay here, Lucky you. Skinny Dee, Omi, Jen&the rest of the guys there, thank you so much guys! Look forward until next time brothers

    We really enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend it✌️Our room was very clean and it was a short way to the main area. The accommodation had a cool style and we felt from the first second on very welcomed. We really thankful for the nice evenings sitting together and singing all night long so that the Gilli Meno song is still in our head🙌 You made our stay in Gilli t unforgettable.

    Wifi is really slow and not suitable for remote work. Lastly, not really "didn't like", just keep in mind they serve breakfast from 9:30 until 11:30, but exceptions are possible, if you have some early activity.

    All of the staff, especially hosts Dee and Linda, were exceptionally welcoming and made us feel like part of their family. Room was super clean up to western standard, bed was comfy, room had all of amenities you could wish for, AC was working properly. You can borrow everything you need right at the guesthouse, such as snorkeling gear and bikes. Also, they have a really nice restaurant nextdoor. When we come back to Gili T, we would come back to this guesthouse.
