Gili gede unfortunately has a lot of rubbish (not the fault of the Homestay, their property was very clean! It is also quite hot there, rooms have good fans though which meant we slept well.

Lovely small Homestay run by a wonderful kind family. Very good value, they have put a lot of work into landscaping the gardens and property. Breakfast overlooking the ocean was amazing and delicious. Great snorkeling trip with Anton, he also dropped us off on Gili Asahan for a day which was great

Really clean and well kept property, located right on the seafront. Anton and his family were so welcoming and couldn’t have done more for us. We did a snorkelling trip visiting 4 locations with Anton, seeing turtles and visiting uninhabited islands! Amazing and very well priced food. Overall the most friendly homestay we’ve been to on a beautiful island.

The Pelangi Homestay is in a beautiful location and offers great service and help for whatever wish you might need. Anton and his family are exceptionally friendly hosts and open for talking and laughing if you feel like. The on site restaurant serves delicious local food for dinner and also a really good breakfast. Terima kasih banyak!

Wonderful rooms with reasonable priced and delicious food! The hosts were incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to help us celebrate our friends birthday whilst there (even ordering a cake from Mataram to arrive by boat). Thank you!!

Everything. Room was very big with beautiful terrace and hammock in front. The owners were very friendly and really caring. Breakfast was really very nice. The place is in a small village which was clean compare to the other villages on the other side of the island and everyone was very friendly.

Really beautiful and calm place. The breakfast was delicious.

The toilet without a flush and which is perched on a slightly awkward platform is the only thing I’d change

Anton and his wife are the warmest, happiest, most welcoming hosts imaginable and I would recommend a stay if just to meet them. But I’d also recommend this place because it’s so peaceful and relaxing. Anton can organise snorkelling trips and other activities with his boat. The honestly faces directly onto a beach with warm water. Their restaurant has a fantastic choice of super tasty local dishes. Rooms are of course slightly on the basic side, but clean and entirely comfortable.

Anton and his wife (and kids) are very friendly and helpful. It’s a very nice place to relax, read a book, go snorkelling (on a trip with Anton or just at the Beach in front of the Homestay). The accommodation is basic, but the breakfasts andere food are very good.

A wonderful homestay! Very good food and Anton took us on a perfect individual day trip to several Secret Gilis. Their Warung is right at the beach. We made wonderful memories at their place! Terima kasih.

Though not the fault of the property, I was too sick during my stay to snorkel in the crystal clear waters.

After a short boat ride you pull up directly to the property, which has a beautiful view of Lombok from across the ocean. You can immediately get into your bungalow and settle in, escaping the sun if need be. The natural air flow and shade keeps the temperature down inside during the day, which is quite pleasant to sit and read in. There are ample options for sitting inside or out. I had come to do snorkeling, but unfortunately woke up with sinus issues the morning I traveled over. Due to this I was unable to get snorkeling in during my stay, but I was grateful for the comfortable accommodations in which I could try to recover more quickly. You will have mosquito netting for the bed, and it is advisable that you use it as some will visit during the nights. Also be advised that while you won't have a bidet (at least during the timeframe of my visit), you will still have bathroom access to a water spout and the means with which to remain clean. You'll be fine :) If staying around the property you will often see the lovely owners and their beautiful family enjoying the days. You can find friendly conversation with them, advice for enjoying Gili Gede's offerings, as well as some food or drink options if need be. Their son and I enjoyed some tasty pineapple smoothies in the shade of the ocean front tables, while flowers dropped from the trees above and butterflies fluttered around us. It was nice to have access to the icy treat, packed with vitamin C to help the immune system. Gili Gede is a slower paced, quiet, rural setting away from the party scene you might find among the northern Gilis. There is snorkeling and diving without the crowds, fishing trips, shell collecting when the tide is out, and other ocean activities to partake in which the owners can help you organize.

The toilet is flushed with a bucket of water.

Really nice outside area, right next to the ocean. Very friendly people. The bed has a mosquito net.

The bathroom is a bit old school.

I had a great time, I felt part of the family and had interesting conversations. The food is amazing and at a good price. The owner offer a nice snorkelling trip at a good price.

I had a lovely stay with the family at Pelangi. I was looking for a remote stay and that is exactly what I got. Don't expect any hustle and bustle or 5 star rooms as this really is a local little island and this just isn't that kind of place. Snorkeling was lush and I really enjoyed getting to know the family and how life on the island goes.
