    We absolutely loved the staff, so friendly and went over and beyond! Unfortunately my hubby and myself contracted a virus for the duration we where there, so it was very much "downtime" for us, what a perfect place to feel shitty! A huge thank you to the staff, truely amazing!

    Wasn’t an issue but be aware that the water from the taps is salt water

    Staff were really friendly, was super clean and comfortable. Directly on the beach and we were able to swim alongside turtles without having to go on the snorkelling tours

    Location was right by the sea. Easy access for snorkelling and the rest of the island. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice and the bbq at Night was good, not to forget happy hour! The staff made it all really friendly and helpful. Answered any questions we had and did their best to help.

    What a gem of a place on Gili Meno

    Loads of boats arrive in the bay to spot the turtles and the underwater statues, but only because it spoils the tranquility of the place.

    What a fabulous place which we booked by mistake 😀 as it is on Gili Meno not Gili T that we intended. But an extremely short boat trip and we arrived at an oasis of calmness and wonderful staff. We stayed in a bungalow, rustic and charming. The breakfast is excellent and we also had a fabulous BBQ meal. They also have a great happy hour cocktail menu. We’d highly recommend.

    The place and room are just like poctures, very nice location, although it's far from the port, but it has its own beach and can hear some party sounds from Gili T at night which is quite interesting. Their staff are very friendly and helpful and can speak English well. A quiet and relaxing place where I will surely recommand to my friends.

    The restaurant food is amazing, as are the staff - so friendly, chatty, etc! I recommend everyone tries the Steak Sandwich, and the Welcome Drink is 10/10! The rooms are great for Couples who just want a basic getaway without blowing the bank! If you walk about 10meters out into the sea it's almost guaranteed you'll see a Turtle (or 10+).

    The corals are mostly dead, which is a shame, but obviously not the hotel fault.

    The STAFF, even by Indonesian standards, is unbelievably friendly and helpful. People like Supri and his colleagues are hard to find. The location is also fantastic for Gili Meno. Turtles come to graze in front of the hotel at 20m from the shore. Not to be missed!

    It would be great if the property offered snorkeling masks, bicycles, or horse cart transfers for rent, or even had a few more activities available on-site—it would make things more convenient and enhance the overall experience.

    I really enjoyed the property—we had a lovely villa, the breakfast was great, and the area was peaceful with some great restaurants nearby. I personally came to Gili to see turtles, and there’s a great spot just by the hotel, so I got exactly what I was hoping for. The room was cleaned daily, and the entire staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. A special thank you to Yuni—she truly made our stay even better!

    What a wundervoll and peacefull place this is! We loved every day we stayed in Bungalow Cafe Meno. The relaxing atmosphere will calm you down every day.  Everything was super clean (Tippi toppi as we say in Germany), really all of the employers was more than friendly. Adid and Supry hosted us every day nicley.   We were able to snorkeling directly in front of the hotel, without taking a boat. We saw lots of turtles and thousends of fishes If I would have a chance to visit Gili Meno again I would book this wonderful place again.

    There is no fresh water, but we understand from the locals that this is a general problem on the island, the government stopped their water treating plant. The staff was nice to provide us with a huge bucket of fresh water, but still it is a bit uncomfortable to shower with salty water and then rinse with fresh water from a bucket. The room needed a bit of fresh paint and a bit of maintenance here and there, especially regarding the sealing of the walls in the bathroom, there are still small holes where insects can crawl in, and the door cannot be fully closed from the bedroom. But they do provide mosquito repellent coils.

    We stayed 3 nights in one of the bungalows. We were greeted with a welcome drink on arrival. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The location is nice and quiet. The bed was comfortable, and it included a mosquito net. Breakfast is a la carte, and it includes a coffee/tea and fresh juice. The view from the cafe area is really beautiful, you can see the ocean in its beautiful turquoise color and enjoy the sunset. We even saw a turtle near the shore a few meters from there.

    Nothing! Perfect just as it is.

    Such good value. Cute little bungalows. We liked the fact that this was a smaller type of accommodation with just a few bungalows. Staff were amazing and you really feel you get a personal service. Well located right on the beach. If you are coming from the mainland by speedboat ask the hotel to arrange rather than use the commercial boats. The hotel can arrange a small personal boat which will bring you right up to the front of the hotel rather than the commercial boats which go to the harbour on the other side golf the island - save you having to get a horse and cart from the harbour.

    I didn’t like seeing the cats going hungry. I feel it would be a small cost to the establishment to ensure the resident cats are fed and provided with clean water!

    Little bit higher prices in the Café-bar compared to other places nearby. But the property for stay is perfect!

    I am so happy we stayed in this place in Gili Meno, here you can find everything you need. It is perfect location - on the beach, where right near Beach Front Café you can snorkeling and see many turtles. Or can just relax on the sunbed in shadow and enjoy views and cold drinks from café. In the evenings also it is perfect place for sunset watching. We liked the room, with big comfortable bed with mosquitos net and pretty bathroom. It was nice to have terrace near every bungalow where you can sit and enjoy evening before the sleep. Small details - like mosquito incense in the bathroom, refillable drinking water or beach towels - all this makes the stay here comfortable and it shows that they really care about the guests here. Especially thanks to the staff who take into account my complaints and fulfill my wishes. The biggest thanks for making our stay at your property amazing.

    Nothing in particular, but one should mention that the location of the place is not at a beach where you can walk into and have a sandy beach in particular. We took the bikes and drove 7-10 min. to a much nicer beach at Gilli Menno.

    We stayed for a couple of nights in two bungalows. We arrived by a private boat the team was kindly organizing for us. The place is great and a little fancy (we liked the bohemian style a lot). The food was constantly very nice. The location is super close to the beach where you can walk into and already see turtles.
