Very nice owner

The mosque is quite loud

Ezy, Ilham and his family was so nice. We really enjoyed our time with them. The snorkeling tour was so great, we saw so many fish and could take as much time as we wanted. It was so great! We can just recommend this Homestay! Support the locals :)

The place is truly pleasant and peaceful, with activities offered at very good prices that we fully recommend. On top of that, the staff is incredible — we had a wonderful time with them, especially Ezy who was amazing, the best! We highly recommend this place!

The cold shower you can’t adapt the temperature and the type of blanket on the bed ( to hot 🥵)

The people are so nice and familiar especially Izy and his wife Mariska. You can ask them anything and they will let you feel very welcome. Also the locals are

Could be a little bit noisy with the mosqe near to the bungalow but it's part of the experience !

I stayed for three nights at this homestay in Gili Gede, and it was an amazing experience. The bungalow was simple but great, surrounded by a beautiful garden. But what truly made my stay special was the incredible connection I made. Ezy made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. He took care of me on my first day when I was unfortunately sick and then took me snorkeling (he helped me find a seahorse 😁 and corals and foshes were beautiful !!) and fishing (then coocked me the the squid so i could taste) the next day. He also introduced me to his family (I will miss the children and their kittens), which was a heartwarming experience. He genuinely enjoys meeting people, and we had so many interesting conversations. H Gili Gede is a quiet island, but the people here are incredibly kind and welcoming. I’m so grateful for the time I spent here. Oh, and the chocolate pancakes at breakfast were delicious! I highly recommend this place to everyone. I’m leaving the island filled with kindness and already hoping to come back. Fingers crossed! 🤞

There’s a lot of plastic on the island especially along the shore line , But this is not the fault of Garden Cottage ,They are contributing to helping clea it up

For what it cost and back to the basics ,great value ,The host took us on a fantastic boat snorting trip for 8 hours

I loved the stay at Garden Cottage with Izy. The host Izy made our time, he gave us so many recommendations, taught us some Sasak, made us food, organised a massage,.. Super cute bungalow with everything you need

We were her during a big Muslim holiday so there was a lot of sounds from the mosk at random hours and early in the morning wich was a bit hard for my sleep but it is probably fine if you avoid this time ☺️

The hosts were so kind and helpful! The cottage was lovely and fresh. We went on a snorkelling tour with the hosts witch was so very nice! Saw both seahorses and big turtles and so many beautiful fishes and corals! They picked us up from the harbour outside gili gede and dropped us of after our stay, they were super helpful and you really feel thought after, very service minded and just some really nice people to befriend! 🙏It’s just a short walk to some really nice local restaurants! I would definitely recommend this host and the garden cottages!

Situated remote and isolated, you need a boat to go to clean beaches on other islands for snorkeling and swimming as the nearby beaches are poluted of plastics and debris. The small bungalow, cooresponding well to the low rates soon become expencive as costs add up for ferrys and boat trips for swimming and snorkeling. The included breakfest was less than basic, only contenting playn pancace and a cup of coffe. The maintainence of the bungalows need to be uppgraded, provided WIFI. hardly working. Bring your own internet- connectio.

The warm, welcoming and friendlyness of our host Eyzi and his whife. Thy did everything possible to make our stay a memory. The small bungalows are inbedded in a lush garden with chickens rooming freely. A quired oasis, exept 4 times a day at prayer times. Eycy’s whife is a master-chef, prepearing lovley lunch. The beautyful, nearby Mosce makes this stay perfect for musling- visiters.

Toilet was a disappointment. Water pressure very low

Private garden.

- This accommodation is NOT on the beach. There is no beach. There's a harbour basin / dump. Talking about dumps, the whole island is one huge dump, by the way. Furthermore between the 'beach' an the accommodation there's a sports ground. - I didn't have water. When I complained the pump was fixed, but the sparse water stank as if some animals had drowned in the tank. Unfortunately I had already put shampoo on my head, so I had to walk to the harbour basin to wash myself there. - The bathroom was dirty and the sheets smelt and felt as if somebody had slept in them before. The sheets also had cigarette burns. - I left the place (and the island) on the very next day, although I had booked 2 nights. I spite of all this inconvenience the owner was not willing to refund the money for the 2nd night. I have been traveling Indonesia now for 3 weeks, but this was my worst stay. Absolutely no value for the money.

The staff was friendly. Garden is nice.
