    Nice bungalows in a quiet part of the island. A walk to the center just takes 5 minutes.

    Salt water in the shower and to brush your teeth 🥴 the pillows are very high and the spring mattress is not the best, the air conditioning barely blows cold air.

    Very friendly staff, rich breakfast included, and excellent location

    The main problem is that this property does not have a generator. Power was off at some time every day - so no wifi, no power for the water pump for a shower, no pressure, therefore in the shower, no aircon, etc. They need a generator. The wifi to rooms blew up as power surges, so I had to get a sim card for the internet. There are too many electrical and wifi issues to recommend this place. Very salty cold water in shower, very low pressure if it worked at all. The mosque call to prayer was loud enough, and the voices were rambling and singing. The 3 mosques on the island cross over in prayers. They start at 5 or 6 am and go on all through the day. You would think being a tourist island, the religious authority would maybe lower the volume or shorten the prayer times considering the number of non Muslim visiting the island, but it does not seem so. Find a soundproof property on this island and most of Lombok. I was very tired when I checked out of here from lack of sleep. Brothers Bungalows are definitely not soundproofed Pool is really being used by a dive business, so forget using it. Once they address these issues and work on improvements , it has the potential to be comfortable and not just annoying. Rooms and bins only cleaned upon request Dark winding footpath at night, could trip up No amenities in rooms, no kettle, no cups or glasses, no liquid soap in bathroom ( nothing in there ) very spartan

    Free-standing private bungalow in shabby-chic blue and white paint. Garden view was nice and leafy Large new fridge in room Staff are friendly and doing their best to help out with the various problems Aircon was working well when the power was on Bed reasonably comfortable Simple breakfast: They have some fresh juice, jaffles, eggs toast or pancakes, and coffee, and that's fine WiFi worked strong when it worked Location is good, a step off the beach If you like a bit of rustic and get a good price and don't mind the power drops- this could be a nice stay, but the power is an issue for me. It still is wet season, and by the dry season, I think the power is on most of the time.

    Simple but comfortable bungalow! Cold water in the shower, but did not need the hot water as it is very hot! People were very friendly. You feel at home. It was like one big family. You can do your laundry there. Breakfast was very good! 10 mins walk from the harbour if you don’t want to use the horses. Perfect location!

    No fresh water in the washrooms. But we didn't find it to be too much of a hassle.

    Had the most amazing time at Brother Bungalow. Right across the beach, bungalows were quite comfortable. Staff was really sweet and friendly. They also run a dive centre with really great instructors. Came for 2 days, ended up extending our trip for 5 days. Breakfast was served on the beach across from the hotel and very filling. Everything you may need is available right at the hotel or on the lane outside. Best part is the no matter how noisy the lane outside, as soon as you enter Brother Bungalow it gets quiet and peaceful.

    What a pleasant experience staying with Brother Bungalows. We had a great time. We had breakfast on the beach each morning. And Bintangs on the beach each evening. It is in the main busy street of Gili T, but the bungalows are towards the back so no street noise when you want to go and sleep. We had an extra mattress in the room for the kids. The guys running the property were so kind, friendly and helpful. We had a great stay. Will definitely recommend them.

    Had an amazing stay here, staff super friendly, amazing location only a 10min walk from the main port. Loads of bars and restaurants in the vicinity, dive shop attached to the accommodation! quiet even though the hustle and bustle of the streets a stones throw away.

    Everything is bad in the local. The room is nasty. The bathroom is all broken down with infestions of ants in the wall. Inside the room there are lots of web spiders in the ceiling. The pool is nasty without no Maintenance. We didn't get to have breakfast there because the kitchen was all dirty and everything looked dubious and suspicious. Inside the building there are no lights to your room and you pass by places that look abandoned. For the price you got a lot better in the island.

    Absolutely nothing

    Bungalows have to be better. Better lights, beds, mirrors, internet connection. Very nice owners but they have to invest more in the staff and bungalows.

    Staff 10+, *****!!! Especially mr. Odi and mr. Fendi take care of all the guests 24/7. They are the best you can ever wish for. The owners have to invest more in the outstanding staff, bungalows repairing and the internet connection. Perfect location. They also arrange diving and snorkeling, very beautiful. I will come back again just because of the lovely staff and location.
