Great place, amazing family! Highly recommend :)

We had a little problem with the toilet as in the morning we found a little bit of flood, but as soon as we asked everything was solved so always ask because they are really kind!

The room we had is into a Sasak traditional Village with the bathroom just outside the room. We had both dinner and breakfast and it was delicious, but the best part of our stay were the people that welcomed us as family. The day after we had a full-day tour of the rice fields, coconut and kopi process, waterfalls and monkey forest (where we could see black monkeys). It was just the 2 of us accompanied by Oni and Oni, two guys living in the village, and they were fantastic! They showed us around the fields, looking for the best spots and it seemed really an authentic experience. They were happy to tell us about the different stages of rice while locals were working and explained a lot also about the fruit trees we saw. The best thing above all was the warm atmosphere even if we stayed for just one night! As they say "welcome to your family"! They also helped us to organise the transfer to our next stop and they have different fixed prices for different destinations.

The mosque nearby is quite loud, however it has nothing to do with the place itself which was in a isolated area in the the rice field

Nice people and beautiful place in the nature

Tetebatu is the best place in the world, you really have a blast, and Jonny’s place lets you enjoy it even more. The staff is amazing, the food is great, and Jonny makes afternoons and evenings even better with his guitar. Mr. Ali, Mr. Oma, and Mr. Oni are also fantastic guides. I’d come back without a doubt – I recommend it 100%!

We stayed for 2 nights and I wish we had stayed longer. Jonny and everyone there were super friendly and welcoming. The views of the rice fields were lovely to wake up to and chill by the sunset. We took the walking tour where our guide Ari (and Oni) took us around Tetebatu. Showed us how coffee, spices and coconut oil are made, as well as the beautiful rice terraces of Tetebatu (with little to no tourists around) and some amazing waterfalls. Also the food was amazing! (Try out the Olah-Olah) Everything was truly amazing, they really show you the true Tetebatu experience.

We had an excellent first experience in Tetebatu at Jonnys Place. Beautiful environment and fantastic trip in the morning with Mr. Ari and Mr Omar to see rice terraces, monkey forest and more things. Local people and Jonnys family the best, really nice and kind.

Very nice hosts, beautiful place between the rice fields and the jungle.

It didn’t bother us but it’s good to know there are a lot of noises at night (including the nearby mosques’ call to prayer in the early hours) - as expected when you’re staying in the middle of the fields with lots of wildlife around and in a Muslim community.

We had an amazing stay with Jonny and his family, who were all so welcoming and attentive from the get go! The room was clean and spacious with a terrace overlooking the rice fields and Mount Rinjani (though it was unfortunately too cloudy to see during our stay). The food was absolutely delicious (olah olah was to die for!) and very reasonably priced. We were short for time so could only stay one night in Tete Batu but Jonny made sure we could still do a day tour when we arrived late morning. The walking tour was incredible - we walked through the rice fields; saw the processes behind local coffee and coconut oil; visited 2 waterfalls; had lunch at a local restaurant; and visited the forest to see the grey and black monkeys! Nas and Oni, our guides, were fantastic and we spent the day laughing with them and learning so much about the local produce and culture. The evening was also a highlight - sitting with other guests to chat and listening to Johnny sing and play guitar! Thank you so much for making us feel like part of your family, we will definitely be back!

Only cold shower, but it wasn’t too bad either.

You are literally in the jungle. If you want an adventure this is your place. To enter/leave the place you have to walk through rice terraces. Simply beautiful. Also, the place is in Jonny’s house and you can share with his family. Which was very nice and cool. We learned a little about how they made coffee and spices, petted their dogs, cows and chickens.

Nice homestay, they also provide tours, you can order dinner or lunch.

After 6 months of travelling around South East Asia, I can now tell that Tetebatu is one of my favourite’s place, thanks to Jonny and his family. They’re the sweetest hosts ever. I cannot recommend more this place: I did 2 of the tours they offer, and it was simply the best experience. Also the food is absolutely delicious. Thank you for everything, I’ll never forget my time here.

Jonny was a great host. The meals were beautiful. The location is so peaceful. A beautiful place to stay.

Nothing, I loved it. Make sure you ask for the exact location as there’s no road. You have to drive through the rice paddy to get to the property.

Stunning views of mountains in the middle of rice paddies. Jonny and his family are warm and welcoming. The room is spacious and very comfortable. Couldn’t ask for a better experience

Everything was great, especially Jonny's singing and guitar playing

The breakfast was great, especially the vegetable curry. Icha is a very good cook!

We like everything but especially princes Peggy! Jonny’s walking tour was amazing and our stay truly felt like a home away from home

Nothing I didn't like about this place. I miss it already. I found it by word of mouth from someone who liked it as much as me. I ate very well for a few days for very little.

So welcoming, felt like part of the family, especially doing Was an cooking course on the open fire. Bike tour with Jonny was spectacular. Cultural villages tour with Tiki also a highlight. One of the best experiences I've had in many years of travelling. The rooms have great views over jungle or rice fields and My Rinjani, depending which side you are on.

You must be aware that the rooms are basic and the bathroom is not in the room. It’s just outside of the room, but not far. For me it’s part of the charm, but just to manage expectations.

Jonny and his family were so warm and welcoming. They were great hosts. We wanted to experience what life is really like in Lombok and we got to experience that on its best here at Jonny’s Place! The food was made by the family and was very fresh and delicious. They also have to sweet social dogs, that like to keep you company. The bungalows were comfortable and cozy, with great view of either the rice fields or the river. We had a lovely stay here. We connected with the family, we were taken on a trip to explore the area and we played music together with Jonny! I would definitely recommend staying here!

The food was amazing home cooked local food. The family were so warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Had a great day out with Eddie and the evening chats and music with Jonny were great. A real opportunity to see what life was like for the locals and we would recommend it to everyone.

This is the place I will dream about when I come back home. I was just so in love with my bamboo room, the atmosphere and the jungle vibes. Johnny’s place is just a bit off the road, tucked away in a green oasis. My room was very clean and had a balcony with river view, with just lush jungle greenery surrounding me. Below it there is a shower, but also the possibility to use the ‘jungle shower’ where you just find yourself showering (privately of course) in the midst of green. The food that is made by Johnny’s aunty is the best I’ve tasted on Lombok. Johnny and his family are very friendly people, they welcome you into their own little community and take the greatest care of you. Went on a day tour with Johnny and he showed us all of Tetebatu which was great also!

Lack of air con and seriously loud noises in the morning. But that’s something you should expect.

It was very authentic and made you feel like a part of the culture.

No issues, was a bit hard to find at first but no worries.

Incredible homestay with the true experience of a Tetebatu local family. Jonny and his family were wonderful, kind, and gracious hosts with a comfortable bedroom and terrace, many places to drink coffee, and delicious food. I took the Tetebatu tour and did my Rinjani trekking with them and it was a perfect experience.

This place and family is unique. Jonny & Anti their family are incredibly warm. They opened their hearts to us. Such a warm welcome, lots of good conversations, and an amazing guided trip to bamboo craft, sarung making and the waterfalls with Adi and Nas. We ended our stay with a super tasty jackfruit curry cooking class and dinner with the whole family. We’re sorry to say goodbye and will miss the family and beautiful place.
